1912 PRIZE CONTEST FOR FARMERS
GOLD AND Hmatt. PRices
Nearly a score years ago the great
lamentation of the Inas es was that
there was too little money in the
world to go around, and those en-
gaged in the creation and znanalge-
ment of great industrial enterprises
were of the same opinion.
The aforesaid creators and manag-
ers
S'
ers have not changed their minds, but
the intelligent members of that great
aggregation of humanity, known as
the masses, have done so. It was
known by analytical students all the
time that the increase of the price of
commodities was largely due to the
increase of the production of the
t pl eciou5 metals and the increased
coinage of the nations of the weak'.
That is a fact no longer gainsaid by
' intelligent persons in any walk in life,
The enhancement in prices has been
almost universal excepting in the one
superabundant couttnodity of labor.
For this Beaton bread and meat, cloth-
ing and furniture have climbed up the
co-t-Iadder much more rapidly than
lagging wages have been able to do.
It looks as if this influence had
reached its tnaxintum. The produc-
turn of gold will not proceed in the
same ratio during the next ten years
as in the past. With the eessation of
an increasing superabundance of the
medium of exchange will come a check
on the increase in prices, uuless pro-
duction of other commodities than the
precious metals should be checked.
The only influence that has kept the
crisis from following the cow that
jumped over the moon and from going
as high as the old woman who swept
the cobwebs off of the sky, has been
the increased demand for money in
expanding productive operations, and
thus keeping the supply more nearly
commensurate with the demand.
Now comeo regenerated China with
demand following demand for funds
to carry on her new enterprises. The
new-born republic that is to take the
place of the ancient Manchu tyranny
is in the market again, this time for a
loan of $300,000,000. That will be paid
in cash gold, and will absorb the moat
of the gold production of the current
year. It will take up more of that
precious metal produced in the twelve
months than used for the coinage of
the world.
The check to the increased produc-
tion of gold, and the larger demand
for gold, should tend very materially
to steady prices. It will steady them
for every commodity where the
supply and demand remain steady.
And this will be an excellent thing
for the great masses of mankind.
Wages did not rise with the same
acceleration of speed as the prices of
the necessities of life. As the cost of
living steadies, or becomes a little
lower, perhaps, wages are more than
likely to remain stationary. As a
matter of fact, in the long struggle
between labor and capital for a more
equitable division of the profits of
both, when once labor has won a step
of advance, it has seldom or never
withdrawn its foot or abandoned the
position conquered.
RHEUMATISM
Many people have it but neglect it.
until they are crippled and without
nope of ever being cured, but there is
hope for all in Rbeumo and no one
need have rheumatism now. Rheumo
ire just what we say it is. We have re-
sit ived hundreds of testimonials telling
uS that Rheumo has cured old standing
cases of rheumatism and when all other
treatments had failed. Rheumo en-
riches the blood and drives uric acid
from the system. Rheumo is guaran-

This contest is along the same lines as the
one which was so successful last year, except
that there are three times as many prizes, and
therefore three times as many Chances for
each contestant to win. Every farmer in Canp-
ada who uses "Canada" Cement is eligible to
compete. The conditions are such that large
and small users of cement have equal oppor-
tunities to win a $50 prize.
The contest is divided into three classes, and there
are first, second, third and fourth prizes (1150, $25,
$15 and $10) in each class.
CLASS "A" --Prizes to be awarded to the four farmers In each province
who use most "Canada" Cement on their farms in 1912.
CLASS "ti"" Prizes to be awarded to she four farmers In each
ptovince who send photographs of the best concrete
work done lvith "Canada" Cement on their farms
In 191Z.
CLASS "(;''--Prizes to be awarded to the tour farmers
Inrach province who send the beat descrip-
tion, telling how any piece of concrete work
was done with "Canada" Cement. (Entries
for this prize must bet accompanied by shots -

WHAT'S IN A NAME.
BY t,. A. illtlrehison, ttarriston, Ont.
(In f.'lanatiian. Farm )
This le not an interrogation ; it is an
affirmation, What's in a name—is
really everything, A name applied to
a firth Is, so to speak, its trade -mark.
'1'ile,t tlal:r a 1149 ill certain tendency to
bear upon all productions of that
fee. Poe itibta4nce, faster Brows,
of f tickieberry farm, sells his berries
to grocer Jones, as also dons farmer
McDonald ; but farmer Brown of
huckleberry farm, is known for his
cleanliness iia picking, packing, and
ehipping, so the mistress of the house-
hold pt dors farmer 13rown'e produce
to that of fernier Mc.D anald, even
though she has to pay a few cents
extra—as it is high quality goods elw
gets, and she knows it, and is willing
to pay the price for then, Then,
again, farther Smith of Gulden Mea-
dow Fat In, is not likely to injure his
reputation by selling half a ton of
thistles to every ton of alfalfa he die -
poses of on the market simply because
it cannot be detected on the surface.
People sometimes look beneath the
surface of things; they do occasionally
in such cases at least, eh ?
A well kept farm is the pride of the
country for miles around, and the
owner is looked upon with adtuirat.ion.
Nis productions are constantly sought
after ; his supply cannot meet the de-
mand. But the careless, and slug-
gardly person is despised and detested.
People may be too apt to judge things
by appearances, but let me say, ap-
pearances go a long, long, way to-
wards establishing a reputation especi-
ally among the farming community,
and those who have dealings with
them.
THE NAME AND THE Plum.
An excellent farm in Wellington
county, Ontario, sold for the hand-
some sum of $15,000, while another ad-
joining farm went for the immodest
figure of $2,500. Why this vast dif-
ference? Partly in the name, and part-
ly in the actual appearance of the
places. The former place was noted
throughout the entire county both for
its excellent appearance and the high
quality of products. The owner was
well known, largely through bis
beautiful farm, and when he offered it
for sale enormous offers were made,
but it went to a relative at $15,000.
Don't be afraid to put a name at the
entrance to your home, but see that
you live up to the name it bears, and
that you are quite competent to bear
the name.
REGISTRATION OF NAMES.
Names for farms can be registered
with the county clerk of each locality,
and many farmers throughout Ontario
are applying suitable names to their
homes. No one can steal the good
name of your farm, and with you and
you alone lies the future of its reputa-
tion. No ono will expect to buy
thistles for hay from "Golden Mea-
dow" farm or toad -stools for mush-
rooms from "The Garden of Eden"
establish m en t.
So we can see, "What's in a Name"
is really the reputation for fait', hon-
est and conscientious dealing, of the
owner. No one will dare dispute the
fact that in the naming of the farm
which is becoming more popular day
by day lies in a great part, the secret
of many a man's success. Why don't
you try it ? and see "What's in a
Name ?"
A NEW THEORY.
(Ottawa Citizen.)
At the meeting of the American
Medical Association held in Atlantic
City recently, a new and apparently
more effective treatment of tuber-
culosis was advocated by a lady doctor
from North Carolina. She did not
claim to have originated the idea,
as it has been practiced to some ex-
tent in Europe with most successful
results. The new treatment consists
in compressing the lung so firmly that
the tubercle bacilli cannot live in it,
and in favorable cases they disappear
promptly and permanently.
Each lung has a sac, like a bag, laid
over and around it, The lung does
not lie in the bag, the bag is wholly
outside of the lung. If this bag is
filled with air and distended, the lung
has to become that much smaller. As
the bag fills the lung yields and
shrinks together, crowding all ex-
traneous materials up through the air
passages and out through the mouth.
Then when the lung is as small and
tight and close as ib possibly can be,
the blood and air passages are so com-
pressed that tubercle bacilli have no
thing to live on and disappear. Then
the cough and expectorating, and all
the signs of persistent poisoning also
disappear, and the patient gots well,
When the lung is healed the air is
absorbed from the sac and the lung
resumes its functions, with no indica-
tions of its ever having had tuber-
culosis.
This diagnosis is based on sound
principles, In the case of the con-
sumptive, when the patient coughs
the action caauttes on involuntary con-
traction of the lungs, so as to expell
the foreign matter in them. Under
the neW system, a air pressure is brought
to beat. ier order to assist mature in
expelling rleleterfons platter from the
body, and thereby quickening the re-
covery of the patient. The advance-
ment of this theory was very favor-
ably received by' the press of the
American lioclieal Association and
was rveiatInfd as an effective force in
fighting the insidious advances oiC the

REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS.
The final result of the census of 1011
has been to make the electoral unit
30,852. This is arrived at by dividing
the total population of Quebec
by 65, the fixed number of members
allowed to Quebec, So far as Ontario
is concerned, the province will lose
four members, or will have 82 instead
of 86. At the same time, New Ontario
and Toronto must each get three
more members. The formation of
six new ridings and the obliteration of
four, will naturally cause many
changes in existing boundaries of
parliamentary ridings.
It is the general opinion that the
older settled portions of the province
will have to give up a part of their
representation to provide for what the
more populous centres are entitled to.
In this connection it is probable that
one of the Yorks will go ; that East
and West Elgin will be united, Brant
will be added to Brantford, East and
West Northumberland will be joined,
one seat will be taken from the Mid-
dlesexes, one from the Hurons, Leeds
added to Brockville, one taken out of
the Greys ; the two Lanarks will be
united, and possibly Prescott and
Russell. In the latter riding the
townships of Gloucester and Osgoode,
which for judicial and municipal pur-
poses are in Carleton, m•a.y be attach-
ed to that constituency, and Prescott
and Russell, and united for municipal
purposes at present, may have but
one member.
Dufferin has a population of less
than 18,000, Dundas of less than 19,000;
Grenville of less than 18,000, and in
the rearrangement e.f constituencies
these ridings may be taken into con-
sideration and possibly attached to
other ridings if the above mentioned
proposals are not satisfactory to the
majority in the house.
To Kill Dandelions.
One is to cut them out by hand and
the other and more modern method
is to spray the weeds with copperas,
iron sulphate. If you cut the plants
out by hand it is necessary to cut well
below the crown with a long sharp
knife. It is claimed by weed experts
that the weeds do not propagate from
the roots as much as from the crown.
To use the iron sulphate, or copperas,
dissolve one and one-fourth pounds of
it to a gallon of water, and apply the
lawn with a spray pump. Cover the
lawn thoroughly. There will be no
injury to the grass. Repeat the op-
eration two or three times at intervals
of a couple of weeks.
The Western Fair.
The Dairy Department of this Fair
is of special interest and some valuable
cups are offered this year, in addition
to cash prizes, in both Cheese and
Butter. The Batter -making competi-
tion will again be a feature. The
Poultry exhibit promises to be larger
than ever, and an addition may have
to be put to the already large and
commodious poultry building. A Large
amount of work is being done on the
grounds and buildings and everything
possible will be done for the con-
venience and comfort of both visitors
and exhibitors. The dates are Sep-
tember Oth to 14th. All information
will be given on application to the
Secretary, A. M. Hunt, London, Ont.
Hard Aird Soft.
What snakes a pencil hard or soft ?
Graphite, which composes the writing
crayon in the pencil, is, as everybody
knows, so soft that it will not scratch
the most highly polished surface of
burnished gold. Yet there are pencils
so hard that they aetuttally scratch the
paper. A pencil is hard or soft in
proportion to the amount of clay
added to the graphite. A pencil can-
not be composed wholly of graphite,
for the reason that it would fall into a
powder. Hence the use of clay as a
binding element. Sometimes the clay
is not evenly distributed through the
mase and thea one strikes a place that
sets one's nerves on edge. That does
not happen no much as was the case a
few years ago. Graphite le pure ear -
bon, like that contained in the dia-
mond. The clay used is the fittest
that eau be found and without grit,
