scheme would cost Canada about $250,-

law business. A scheme like that should
be worked off an some country where

ance people" are going to vote ou party
issues? Is seems to as that nothing
would s:1 raise Mr. Whituey iu the
estimation of any respectable class of
voters as the manifestation of a purpose
on bis part, not to make his policy de-
pendent on immediate party gains, but
to shape it purely with a view to the
larger inti ret,ts of the country. -Toronto
News.
The Toronto World ot Saturday last
contained au article reflecting in au un-
called-for ntauuer ou members of the
Legislative Assentbly of Outario It
qualified its stateweuts by stating that
they applied to only a small perceutage
of the legislators, but when it charged
that intemperauce prevailed to any con-
siderable extent even among the few it
exceeded the 'etch. It was still farther
from the truth vvheu it hinted that in.
toxicating drinks were supplied by lob-
byists. As a matter of fact. It would
be difficult to find a business assemblage
anywhere which includes more total
abstainers. or among whom there is less
intoxication, than among the Provincial
legislators of this province.- Guelph
Mercury.
The Clinton New Era comments ou
the report of the Minister of Inland Re-
venue as follows : -Notwithstanding all
the agitation there has been concerning
the use of intoxicants, and the hope
entertained that we were yearly becom-
ing a more temperate people, the report
of the Minister of Inland Revenue, we
are sorry to say, does not+ bear out this
view. The gnttntity of spirits produc-
ed last year was 3,063,603 gallous, as
against 3,324,147 gallons the previous
year. Fortunately all this was not for
home consumptiou, some of it being ex-
ported. The consumption of spirits, per
head, last year, was .870 gallons, which
is higher than for the nrevioue 13 years.
The consumption of beer was 4.712 gal-
lons per head. The amount of tobacco
consumed, per head, was 2.548 lbs., be-
ing a larger amount than at any other
time during the last 35 years. These
figures are not very encouraging to ad-
vocates of abstinence. The excise re-
venue paid on spirits Last year was $6,-
162,827 and paid on tobacco $3,904,617.
HOGINS ORCHARDS.
TESTING SEED CORN.
The Ohio Experiment Station, in a
bulletin just sent ant, expresses the opin-
ion that there will be -considerably more
trouble than usual this year in getting
a satiefaotory steed of corn. Much of
the corn last felt failed to get fully ripe,
or the low temperature of the early win.
ter, coming, as it did, while kernels and
cob continued much moisture, injured
the germivatiug power of the seed quite
considerably. The station's urgent ad.
vice to test all seed cora int good season,
so that a uew supply can be hunted up if
the first lot proves of low vitality, is cer•
taiuly timely. The way of testiug corn
suggested by the station is between
sheets of moist paper or cloth placed in a
box of suitable size. Several lots may
be tested at once and examined much
more easily and quickly than when
planted in sand. Simply keep the paper
moist and where the temperature does
not fall below 55 degrees. In favorable
weather it should all germinate in from
four to eight days.
Rural New Yorker: In our own ex-
perience we have found that a drove of
well-fed hogs in an old orchard will im-
prove it. Pat a tight fence around the
orchard, and after the grass has started
well turn in six or eight active shotes to
the acre. Feed them well and keep wood
ashes and salt and plenty of pure water
always before them. They will not then
do great damage from rooting. Really,
the rooting they do will prove a benefit,
since it will give just the cultivation the
(.chard needs. The bogs will eat the
fallen fruit and in time destroy most of
the vrorms. Never put a hog iu an or-
chard acid expect him to snake his en-
tire living there.
FORTUNES iN ADVERTISING.
tToronto Globe.)
Under the title of "The Psychology
of Advertising", The Atlantic Monthly
is publishing a series of articles ou a
subject that is iucreasiugly attractiuu
the atteution of the business world. The
first appeared in the January num-
ber, Mr. Walter D. Sco t, assistaut pro.
lessor of psychology in the Northwestern
Uuiversity, being the writer. Mr. Scott
says that the commercial traveller took
the place of that personal inspection
which was in past times the indispens-
able prelituivary to a purchase of goods.
A further development is the purchase of
goods solely on the strength of the adver-
tised descrlptiou, This being the case,
he dwells on the importance of a telling
description, and instances actual adver-
tisements of well-known articles which
failed wholly to bring out the essential
qualities advertised. It might be said
as a comment on this phase of Mr. Scott's
article that the art of writing advertise-
ments is now being taught at some of
the commerical and other colleges.
A most interesting part of the article
is that wherein it is shown what amaz-
ing sums are spent in briugiug commode.
ties to the attention of purchasers. One
authority puts the total annual expense
of printed forms of advertising at six
hundred million dollars, and Mr. Scott
says that the sum does not seem to be an
exaggeration. Mr. Post spends as much
as six hundred thousand dollars aunnally
in advertising his food products. One
million dollars was spent last year in ad-
vertising Force. Over ate hundred thou-
sand dollars is speut'annnally in adver-
tising Ayer's remedies, and over one mil-
lion dollars in advertising Penang. Ad-
vertising rates have been advanced re-
peatedly during the past few years.
Firms which formerly paid bat one'hun-
dred dollars for a fall -page advertisment
iu The Century Magazine now pay two
hundred and fifty dollars for the same
amount of space. The Ladies Home
Journal bas increased its advertising
rate to six dollars for a single agate line
(there are fourteen, agate lines to an
inch), the width of one column, for a
single insertion. The colt of a full page
for a single issue is four thousand dol-
lars. The Proctor &Sc Gamble Co. have
made three years' contract for a single
page in each issue, to be devoted to the
advertisement of Ivory ,Soap. For this
space they pay four thousand dollara a
mouth, forty-eight.tbousand dollars a
year, and one hundred and forty -tour
thousand dollars for the term of three
years. A well-known proprietary medi-
cine which had its origin in an Eastern
Canadian city, and still has its headquar-
ters there, has spread all over the world
by virtue of judicious advertising, until
today its sales abroad are twenty-five
times greater than its sales in Canada.
It is needless to ask, does such adver-
tising pay? for the firms which pay these
i enormous amounts for publicity are the
firms whose success is a matter of coarmon
Inotoriety. The condition for snccesa is
'to have an article that the public want
I and that has virtues and qualities that
are worth telling about. No discreet
business man would invest enormous
A CURE FOR INSOMNIA,
A Well•Known St. John Merchant
Tells How He was Freed From
This Terrible Trouble.
Ona of the beet known men in St
John, N.8., is Mr, G. G. Kierstead,
grocer and moral dealer, 641 Main
street. Mr. Kierstead has an interesting
story to tell of failiug health,, insomnia,
and finally renewed strength, which can-
not fail to interest others He says :-" A
few yearn ago I was•ali rnn dowu and
failing in health, no doubt doe to over -
weak and shattered nerves. I was uu-
able to sleep at night and found no rest
iu bed. My life seemed a burden to nut
and I found no pleasure in anything. I
sought medical aid and the phyaichtus
who attended the wereunable to give me
auy relief. The doctors differed in their
opinion as to tuy ailment. Eluding that
I was growing worse, and alnioat crazed
through loss of sleep, I concluded to give
up business and go the country for it
rest. Just when I wee at my very worst
and had almost no desire to live, Illy wife
urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
I bad lost faith in alt medicines, but to
please my wife I decided to give the
pills a trial, I have had reasou to be
thankful that I diet so. Almost from the
outset the pills helped me and I was able
to find sleep. I continued their eso until

sleep as I dM itt my childhood; I grew
healthy and strong and have never
known one boor's trouble from that
name since. I have 110 hesitation in say-
ing that I believe Dr. Williams' Piuk
Pills saved my life, and wilt always say
a good word for them to any who are
troubled with sleeplessness."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills work cores
like Dir. Kierstead's, after doctors unit
common medicines fail because they ac-
tually make new. rich blood, and so

CARE OF THE WORKING HORSE.
Some goo adviee on the manage-
ment of Working horses is given by
Mr, W. S. Spark, the English expert
who has for some months been acting
as lecturer on horse -breeding and

to this will tend to prevent many dis-

we may use the expression., cumula-

kept in 'good condition, it increas:s
from day to 'day and from year to
year until from age the animal low-
ers begin to fail. 'Regularity of ex-
ercise is also ani important element
in the development of the higist

asked, `'Why does the stabled horse
require constant grooming, whilst the

fact of living under cover but the
active work and the high breeding of
the stabled horse which necessitates
grooming. It is the work and the
food, not the shelter, which consti-
tutes the difference between the do-

Mr.
James pointed out that an in-
dustry -having been established it
could not be abandoned in a ,t-eur.
There were temporary rises and fulls
in thc market, dug to outside influ-
ences, that could not b3 foreseen or
avoided. The 'dairy industry was a
paying one for the La.c:..r,-
but if the waste prod::c;s were utd-
i,ee. in the production of pork it
would be that much more .,Citable.
A. considerable proprtion, at any
rate. of these waste products could
not bo utilized in any other way. The
Counties of Essex, Kent, Bruce, Hu-
ron, Simms ann. Grey were large pro-
ducers of perk as an independent in-
dustry, while in Oxford, 1'erih, Brant
aud Middlesex pork \vas largely pro-
duced in. 'conjunction .with dairying.
That had necessitated in -the. latter
counties the production of coarso
grains, oats and barley, for feeding
as an adjunct to the dairy waste. Be-
.. 'text 1893 and 1902 the production of
barley in Ontario increased from 9,-
806,088 bushels to 21,890,602 bushels,
and oats from X8,584,529 bushels to
106,431,4.39 bushels. To ,change all
that was not the work of a. single
year.
Paint the Farm Buildings.
An exchange again makes thr sugges-
tion that farm buildings should be paint-
ed. The painting not only pays in the
preservation of the wood, but it adds
greatly to the appearance of the farm
and locality. Onr Canadian farmers are
too careless in this matter. In too many
cases the sole ambition apparently is to
make money, and appearances do not
count. This is a serious mistake. Far -
niers should do what they can afford to
do to make the home attractive. The
ont-buildings should have a coat of paint
occasioually. What a change it world
make in the appearance of a neighbor-
hood if all the wooden buildings were
kept painted. It would no doubt have
a very appreciable effect on the value of
the farms. •1iainting'the out -buildings
and improving the surroundings of the
borne will pay directly in the preserva-
tion of the buildings, in the• increased
value of the farm if sold and in the
pleasure .such improved surroundings
should give to the family.

Losses on Scrub Cattle.
Geo. Calvert, a Lindsay butcher, gave
the Watchman • Warder a striking il-
lustration of the loss to farmers in rais-
ing trcrub cattle, The other day Mr.
Calvert bnught a 2 -year-old heifer with
a strong pure bread strain in her. An-
other butcher bought a common grade.
Both attictis had been fed about the
same and were the same age. yet tbe
well-bred one dressed 449 pounds and
the other 100 pounds less. "Then the
quality of ,scat is so much better in the
well-bred," adds Mr. Calvert. "It is
put on at the right .points, and the fat
and lean are, nicely distributed -very
different frim what yon find in the
scrub animals. From a butcher's stand-
point the farmers are making a great
mistake in keeping such poorly -bred
cattle. The gond ones eat no mare and
bring a gr„at deal more money."
