(Dr.) Toole formerly of Brussels and will also visit at M koka before returning. An auto party consisting of Mr, and Weber, Mrs. Behrens and. Mrs, Win- ger, of Eirniva, and Mrs. Devitt, of Waterloo, were in town on .Monday calling on Alex, and Mrs. Smith, J. T. and Mrs. 'Wood and W, and Mrs Mc- Call.

THE CAUSE OF RHEUMA- TISM It is frequently supposed that rheu- matism is brought on by cold and damp effects on the surface of the body, but this theory is wrong, cold and damp only excites the disease that, is settled in the blood, rheuma- tism is a blood disease and Rheurno is guaranteed to remove the cause and enrich the blood so that uric acid can- not exist. Rheutno is a wonderful rheumatic cure. If you have rheu- matism in any form don't'delay going to A. L. Hamilton's drug store and get a bottle of Rheumo to -day. A Good Record. The Walkerton Telescope says :— Lady Smith, a thoroughbred cow which was raised by Mr. Wm. Miehl- hausen, but who later sold the animal to D. C. Flatt & Son of Hamilton has been put on record as one of the beat cows in the Province. In a recent seven-day test this cow yielded 481.06 lbs. of milk which gave 21.22 lbs. of j butter fat, thus being equal to 26 53 lbs, of butter. 26e. lbs. of butter in seven days is not such a bad record for a cow raised in Brant Tp. The War On Flies. Eighty cents a quart is the market quotation for dead flies in Williams- burg, Va., and under this incentive nearly every one in the city is waging a disastrous war upon the little pest. Sixteen millions have been killed there during the last two weeks. 'Williams- burg is not alone in this anti -fly crusade. Fredericksburg, Va,, offers one cent for ten, and this season has had 12,922 delivered, 2000 of which were brought in by a small boy. Logansport, Ind., offers a ticket to the "Movies" for twenty dead flies, and about a peck have been received. Winchester, Maass., last year killed a little over 10,217,000, and this year has killed a little over 400,000 more in the same time, In New Rochelle 2,000,000 have been exterminated, but in Port Chester, in the same county, not a fly has perished ; according to the records, Mount Vernon also has a small record. Maryville has a record of five flies. In Washington 7,000,000 and in San Antonio, Tex:, 1,500,000 have been killed. At the evening Sunday service in the Methodist Church in Washington, N. J., Dr. S. P. Mc1.instron presented the history of flies froth the Egyptian times. -,r j/i,% "%% %i' r ii/,• %/i%fee,// y, �;,�fe %ems �/u//�r��f�-/✓/%/1/„ %�, �.,�.,,v�/„ ,;`ter, i„„'/ /,,, ; ''i .., 1912 FARM.ERS' PRIZE CONTEST E held a contest last year in which 36 prizes offered.

S., sent the heads of the first two to Toronto fc,r examination; but the this'd he sent to the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, In order to havethe advant- age of test under different authority. Another test was made by taking some of the brain tissue of the heifer and injecting it into o, sYugll animal,. which in seventeen days also develop- ed rabies.

SAGEINE is not sticky or greasy, Crop Rotation. There has recently been received from Ottawa a pamphlet on crop rota- tion and soil cultivation. It embodies an address delivered by J. H. Grisdale, Director of Experimental Farms, dur- ing the past Session of Parliament before the Standing Committee of the Senate on Agriculture and Coloniza- tion. At the outset the point is made that crop returns depend on sail and soil management. The pamphlet then goes on to deal with soil func- tions, requirements of crops, rotation, cultivation, moisture, warmth, plant food, cultural operations and imple- ments. These subjects are subdivided until the field of successful crop grow- ing is well covered. Under crop rota- tions, seven are described and explain- ed. This pamphlet which covers thirteen pages, is available to all who apply for it to the Publications Branch Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, For Fruit Growers. According to statistics gleaned from the 1911 Census of Canada, the total capital value of the fruit growing industry in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritme Provinces is in round numbers $12,000,000. This is the estimate worked out by the Chief of the Markets Division of the Dairy & Cold Storage Branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, and published in the printed report of the proceed- ings of the third conference of fruit growers of Canada, held in Ottawa last February. In order to give the fruit growers and others interested in the industry in all parts of Canada the benefit of this conference, the Hon. Mr. Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, has authorized the printing of several thousand copies of the report which will be sent free while the supply lasts to those who apply for it to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Watch Your Hair, Ladies. Eternal Vigilance Is the Price Of Luxuriant And Radiant flair. If dandruff germs are devouring the nourishment that belongs to the hair it will soon begin to fall.

Mclribbon to kill dandruff germs, clean the head of filthy dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp or money back. And it does just what it is guaranteed to do and that's why its sales are so enormous the country over. PARISIAN SAGE is the favorite of refined women, One bottle proves ite superiority. The Poultry Industry. During the past session of the Do- minion Parliament, Mr. A. G. Gilbert, Poultry Manager at the Central Ex- perimental Farm, gave evidence be- fore the Select Standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization on the development of the poultry in- dustry. This evidence, which includes an addrese followed by questions put to Mr. Gilbert and answered by him, has been printed in pamphlet form for public distribution. It is clearly shown that the demand for egge in Canada has increased much more rapidly than the supply during 1reeent years, In 1002 we exported to Great Britain, eggs to the value of UM, - 242 ; 1,743,-242; nine years latex', the exports had fallen to less than a varus of twenty- five thousand dollars while the fin. ports in 1011 reached a value approach- ing half a Million. dollar& It is point• ed out that tat mei's are not taking tolladvantage of the high prices oifered for strictly new laid eggs at all seasons of the year, The good profits from these are being secured chiefly by specialists who are often at the disadvantage of having to pay retail prices for feed, Much useful Information is contained in this pamphlet which may he procured front the Publications.

Did you drive me that day?" **What date did It occur?" asked the judge. "1 don't remember." ..,I'ry.,, The gentleman put on his thinking cap and said: "1 was to London from the middle ot April to the 5th of Jul) of they present year.
