Brit manual le.bor had no attractions for bis great soul, So he sat on a rock, hoe in hand and looked out on the ecean and saw the departing ships apparently sink into the sea, and the tops of the masts go down out of sight. Said Columbus : ''This world. is like a hoe handle --the further off the further down -just like a hoe handle. I can sail around to the East Indies," How clear it all was i Yet bow simple the iniad i It is the simplest minds that observe the very simplest things which accomplish the greatest marvels, Isaac Newton was a great man, but he newer strutted. How did he be- come great ? Was it by guiding armies to victory ? Waft it by fram- ing laws in the Senate? Was it by bending over chemicals in the labora- tory ? Was it by burning the mid- night oil in the library ? Ic was none of these, He went to work in the apple orchard. He was too lazy to continue at the hard labor, so he lay down on his back under an apple tree with a view of taking an afternoon nap. An apple fell to the ground. Why did it fall ? Why when it left the tree dict it not go sideways or up- ward instead of downward ? It was clearly because there was a drawing force in the earth greater than any other force existing elsewhere. This fact bad been observed by millions of human beings for thousands of years. Newton gave the fact a name. }Ie called it the attraction of gravitation. His aptness in nomenclature and not his knowledge of mathematics gravi- tated him to a place among the great men of the ages. The world has placed upon its pedestals great generals, great states- men, great orators, great artists, great authors, and, last but not least, great inventors. And many great inventors have become so because of some personal necessity or to promote their personal convenience. Mrs. Green got tired of sore fingers, the result of picking cotton seeds out of cotton bolls, so she invented the cotton gin and gave it to Whitney and he be- came a great inventor. Mrs. Howe grew weary of singing the song of the shirt with a Number 8 needle and a 00 thread, so she invented the sewing machine and Mr. Howe became a great inventor. Mrs. Jacquard be- came incensed at the time lost and work endured in running hand machinery, so she invented the .Jacquard loom and immortalized Jacquard as a great inventor. Good- year had a dog who caught the mange. Ice was inelting'some sulphur on the kitchen stove for the benefit of the dog, At the same time he was malting some rubber for another pur- pose. By accident the melted sul- phur was upset into the melted rub- ber ; the secret of the' vulcanization of rubber was discovered and Goodyear became a great inventor. True is the proverb that "Sonne men are born great, some achieve great- ness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." , GOING DOWN HILL. if The decrease in the visible supply rrd of clkttl,) in Canada has been so marked that conferences have been ven held to cone,ider methods of restor- e the live stock business to its up former vitality. In Winnipeg n Short time ago a Convention wise held to at consider a, problem from a Western c- standpoint, Out apparently the East 1s unfortunately tittle better off than the West, observes the Calgary dHerald, Irn Ontario the cattle supply ne is being drained, The n'ernber of cattle in Province in 1000, according to the Government bureau report, was 2 903,018 valued at $80,303,000. In 1010 there were 2,507,123 cattle valued at $70,828,723, The decrease was fourteen per cent. This is bad busi- ness for the consumer, The price of veal is attractive enough apparently, to induce many raisers to kill off their calves and young cows rather than feed them to maturity. At the beginning of August beef prices at the Chicago stockyards reached a figure never before equalled in that cattle centre. Officials of the live stock exchange have bsgen to call for legislation to prohibit theslaughtering of young cows and calves, in order to further breeding, and thus re -stock the de- pleted herds. The situation is one of peculiar complexity, and remedies that are likely to prove quickly effectual do not readily suggest themselves, the Calgary Herald adds. Our imports of meat from Australia and New Zealand are growing steadily, and while this moderating influence on the rising tendency of prices in Ca- nada has been distinctly helpful to the consumer, it would be much more satisfactory were Canada in a position to do some exporting. The encourage- ment, on a large scale, of live stock growing is one of the biggest problems of Canadian agriculture. SAYINGS OF 1IIPPOCRATES . In some respects we have not made much improvement upon the system of therapeutics as followed by Hippo- crates about 400 B. O. Possibly it is another instance of nature repeating itself. The chief therapeutic agents of the Hippocratic school were diet, medi- cinal waters, fresh air and gymnastics. The following epigrammatic sen- tences speak well for the wise old head from which they came. :- Bedrooms should be large and airy. The reaction following cold baths warm up a man. Milk is harmful for those who are feverish or afflicted with headache. It is a matter of greatest importance to a man's health whether his com- mon bread is white or brown, whether it is well or ill baked. Old people require only a small amount of nourishment. Too large a quantity would extinguish the little life-force they have. It is very injurious to health to eat more than the system needs, if at the same time he uses no exercise to tarry off the excess. When one has missed his dinner he ought not to at a plentiful supper to snake up for the Ioss, for it will lie heavy on his stomach and he will have a more restless night after it, When the body is filled with im- purities and the blood is loaded with waste products, the more you nourish it, the more you hurt it, WHEN GOING TO MONTREAL, DE.

EFFECT ON CANADA. . The opening of the Panama canal is an event of the greatest importance to the Dominion and to the Western • provinces in particular. The Grand Trunk has declared that with the opening of the canal the great grain country served by this road will ship its wheat via Panama, and the Grand Trunk serves a territory as great as the Canadian Pacific or the Canadian Northern. In 1910 the export of grain from Montreal reached twenty millions of bushels. In a decade where will the grain outlet be -At Montreal or on the Pacific coast ? It is well to remem- ber that one cent buys in water routes ten times the distance the same money buys in rail routes. And the big rail- ways can ship grain to the Pacific coast cheap, in the knowledge that frown this point on the journey is all by water. This year the great fact was borne in upon shippers that the Pacific and Panama route was such a potential menace to the Atlantic trade that therer was a reduction of one cent a bushels on grain for lake ports to New York via Buffalo. One Western firm shipped 10,000 bushels to Liverpool via Tehuantepec and saved eight cents a bushel as against the Montreal and New York rate. Looked at from every view point, the conclusion is irresistible that eventually the Panama canal will mean the complete abandonment of grain shipping to the Atlantic coast, • The prospect is scarcely a pleasing one to Montreal, in particular, but fortu- nately there is a reanedy and against its development the Panama menace is helpless. The Georgian $ay water- way now becomes a national necessity. Parisian Sage Is Not A Dye And Does Not Contain Lead Or Sulphur.

In an article on "Building Up a Dairy Herd," in the Ohio Farther, Wil- liam A. Martin says: A few of the things that we have learned to avoid In buying cows are: First -Don't buy without testing for tuberculosis and watch the veterinary closely when he 1s doing the testing. See that the tuberculin is fresh, that the seal is unbroken, and then read the thermometer yourself. Second - Don't buy cows that are too old. By the time you find out whether you want them or not they are past their usefulness. Third - Don't buy cows that are not marked typically for the breed. you want. Fourth --Don't buy from a herd unless you see plenty of calves or have extra good proof that they have been sold. In this way you may avoid contagious abortion. Fifth -Don't buy a cow to be in calf unless you can handle a calf in her. Sixth - Don't buy a cow with little scars ex- actly opposite each other in pairs an tnch or so apart In the vulva. These are remnants of stitches. When the cow calved some time in the past she threw out her wonab and Is likely to do so again. Seventh -Test every cow as to standing, handle her udder and see for yourself whether she shows nay symptoms of 'kicking. Eighth -- Take a look In her mouth. Quite fre intently a cow that Is nine or ten years old and in good shape will be .sold for a tire -year-old. N tnth--Liecause she has plenty of breeding don't expect a wasp waisted, goat uddered beast to break any performance records. Keep Up Your Account. Consider the soil as a deposit bank. If you are checking on your deposit you will soon ex- haust it unless you put in a little more than you take out. The + more you leave there the richer you are. As Poor Richard said, "Always taking out and never putting in, one soon comes to the bottom of his meat tub." • Your soil is your meat tub. - Home and Farm. .� •1 For the Farmer Who Thinks. Harrowing corn after it is planted Is looked upon by the 'Wisconsin ex• pertinent station as somewhat haz- ardous, because the barrow is sure to injure some of the hills. Not every farmer stops to think that the guards on his mower get smooth and do not cut so well as they might. Take them all out and grind them. The =chine will rut about as good as new for a long time after that. A careful and intelligent use of stable manure will build up the fer- tility of any farm. The trouble with the average farmer is that he wastes his nxtnure. The habit of regarding manure as valueless is one of the most expensive a farmer can have. Rotation of crops is one of thea silo- ple, practical methods of increasing the productivity of the farm and dia• tdbnting labor. If Sou are not al- ready practicing rotation in your farming, now is a good time to work out a systematic cropping scheme for vour farm. A practical system of ro. talon can be ;worked out for every tar>tt:..t,,, A Bad Vail.
