pA BAD CASE °
OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
CURED BY
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS.
• Yidney Troubles, no matter of what
kind or what stage of the disease, can
be quickly and permanently cured by the
nee of these wonderful pills. Mr. Joseph
[,eland, Alma, N.W.T., recommends them
to all kidney trouble sufferers, when he
was troubled with dull had -
a° es, had frightful dreams, terrible
pains in my legs and a frequent desire to
urinate. Noticing DOAN'S KIDNEY
PILLS recommended for just such annoy-
ances as mine, it occurred to me to give
them a trial, so I procured a bex of
them, and was very much surprised at
the effectual cure they made. I take a
. great deal of pleasure in recommending
them to all kidney trouble sufferers.

It pays to treat the horses well.
Out all the rag weeds and others go
ing to seed now.
The use of alfalfa cannot be too much
impressed on our farmers.
The Whitney Government is rejoicing
in the prospect of greatly -increased re-
venues for the present year. In its re-
joicings, however, it will probably for-
get that this increase would have been
impossible had the new Government not
abandoned the financial heresies held
by its members while in Opposition, and
oiling to the way of their predecessors in
office. -Brantford Expositor.
"Where," asks The Toronto Telegram,
should a man start it he wants a job
from the Ontario Government?"
That's easy. Produce before any Con-
servative club patronage bosses evidence
to convince them that he has "fried out
fat," done funny work at elections, dis-
franchised Grits, plugged for the party,
and used long green arguments the night
before polling day. -Kingston Whig.
There is nothing very exceptional in
Mr. Fielding's case unless it be the
man himself. Can that be the se-
cret of the crusade against him?
Is it because he is so big a man and oc-
cupies so prominent a position that he
has drawn the fire of the enemy? From
this point of view the .abuse a section of
the Conservative press may be taken as
a tribute to Mr. Fielding's worth and
=pittance, although it may be admitt-
ed that a more desirable way might be
found of paying such a tribute -Wood -
stook Sentinel Re view.
In these days people have an itch for
travel. A very large percentage of the
journeys made are probably unnceces-
eery either for business or pleasure.
Commercial travellers in droves flock in
on business men, about as wasteful a
method of doing business as could be
conceived, for the most of it could be
done just as well and more economi-
cally by mail or wire. The expense of
it all has in the long run to come out of
the consumer. Then the railway com-
p,inies are continually offering induce-
ments in the way of lower mites on every
and any pretext, and bringing out
crowds of travellers who cannot be
handled on time or with any approach
to comfort. But people wait for these
occasions, and the result is that at other
tames half-filled trains are run at in-
creased cost. The sensible course would
seem to be to lower rates all round and
flow Eczema
is Recognized
THE most constant and trouble-
some feature of eczema is the
itching and burning which varies
from that which is simply annoy-
ing to that which,is positively un-
endurable.
Then there is the tendency for
eczema to become chronic and
spread to other parts of the body.
Persistent treatment is always
necessary, but you can depend on it
that Dr. Chase's Ointment will cure
you. Relief will come after the
first few applications, and the heal-
ing; process will be gradual and
natural.
Mothers use Dr. Chase's Oint-
ment for the chafing and skin
troubles of their babies in preference
to unsanitary pore -clogging powd-
ers. 880 cents a box, at ail dealers,

Let us hear from you on live stock or
other farm ina`hers now the harvest is
over.
Tho hogs on pasture should have a
dark place, well aired, for their daily
use.
Do not run down a neighbor's auimal
in order to boast your own. That is de-
spicable.
A little salt all the time handy for
the live stook is the best method of
feeding it.
Dispose of your over -fat hens at once.
They are non -producers, and should be
turned into money.
Carriage horses just now aro bringing
good money. Those who want them
arewealthy, and will pay good values
for something desirable.
Anything that brings in cash returns
before and after the Drop is a wonderful
help to the farmer. This is just what
the Cr.nadian hen does.
A ton of alfalfa hay out a little on the
green side of life is worth a ton of bran
as stock feed. Cloven hay out at the
proper time will be almost as good as
the alfalfa.
Alfalfa twenty inches high, which was
sown the last week of May, is reported
from T. Baker's farm at Bull's Head
Creek, Alberta, according to the Medi-
cine Hat News.
STICKS IN THE STOMACH.
Feeling That Often Comes to People
With Weak Digestion.
A poor sufferer from indigestion once
said that his stomach felt as though it
was filled with sticks and as though
some of them were on fire and burning
him np inside.
When the stomach and the organs of
digestion and nutrition are weakened
and do not act properly, the symptoms
of ill health that follow are many and
varied. There is often a fee ing of
heaviness in the stomach, there is dis•
tress and nervousness, dizziness, nausea,
nervous and sick headaches, inability to
sleep well, pains iu the side and limbs,
specks before the eyes and a general
peevish, irritable condition.
All these troubles are the direct result
of indigestion. Care this by strengthen-
ing the stomach and digestive system
with Mi-o-na stomach tablets and your
symptoms of ill health will vanish like
dew before the morning sun; life will be
joyous, and digestion will be so natural
that you will forget yon have a stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost but 50o
a box and are sold under an absolute
guarantee that they will be successful
in every case where used according to
directions or money will be refunded.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
When laundering lace curtains if a
creamy shade is desired add clear, strong
coffee to the staroh.
In shaking blankets care mast always
be taken to catch them about a foot
from the selvedge, otherwise a risk is
run of tearing them.
Skewer baked fish with thin slices of
salt pork or bacon. Fresh fish will 1: e
improved in flavor if fried in fat used
previously for the same purpose.
Handkerchiefs and towels can be
bleached by washing in the usual man-
ner, and then letting them stand over
night in a solution of one-half teaspoon-
ful of cream of tartar to each quart of
water used.
This is an excellent furniture polish
where a bright surface is desired: Half
a pint of alcohol, half an ounce each of
resin and shellac powdered. Mix these
with the alcohol, then add half a pint
of linseed oil. Shake thoroughly be -
fors using.
For washing ohallies rice water is the
best. Boil one pound of rice in five
quarte of water. Whou cool put the
challiee in with rice and rice water and
wash well, using the rice much as you
would soap. If no rinsing is need the
rice will have a good effect on the fabric.
To remove rnst from a kettle pat into
it as much hay AA it will hold; fill it
with water and boil it many hours; if
the kettle is not entirely fit for n80 re-
peat the protean. It will be certainly
effectual. Rub the rusty spots on the
stove with sandpaper, then with sweet
oil.
Yon can free a moth -infested olonet of
the "creature," larvae and eggs, by
pouring hot vinegar into a red-hot iron
or tin pan set upon hot brinks in the
closet. Shut the door se soon as the
vinegar hires upon the heated surface

Milk buckets and a milk cooling room
in a dairy producing certified milk at
Sumner, Wash., are illustrated in
Hoard's Dairyman, which says: All
milk is drawn into buckets covered
with cloth strainers, then poured Into
the tin drum which extends through
the wall into the cow room. The milk
is received by a trap strainer before
reaching the cooler. The cooler is hol-
low. The cold watt' runs through the
inside and the milk over the outside.

is 40 degrees, and during the summer
months a barrel .containing 150 feet of
coiled pipe packed with cracked ice lel
used to cool the water before it enters
the cooler. With a barrel of this kind
the temperature of the water can be
reduced to 40 degrees. After all cows
are milked. the cans of cold milk are
taken to the bottling house, which is
500 feet from the cow barn, where the
milk is poured through the wall of the
bottling room into the mixing tank and
after being thoroughly mixed is put in
quart bottles at once. The bottles are
put in metal cases holding twelve bot-
tles each, and cracked ice is put around
the necks of the bottles.
Problerue Solve...
Dr. L. L. Van Slyke of the New York
experiment station gives in his new
book, "Modern Methods of Testing
Milk and Milk Products," the following
useful rules:
To find the amount of cream pro-
duced for 100 pounds milk when the
per cent of fat in milk and in cream is
known, divide the per cent of fat in
milk by the per cent of fat in cream
and multiply the result by 100. Ex-
ample -How many pounds of cream
containing 25 per cent fat are produced
from 100 pounds milk containing 5 per
cent fat? Five divided by 25 equals
0.2; 0.2 multiplied by 100 equals 20, the
number of pounds of cream with 25 per
cent fat.
To find the amount of skim milk for
100 pounds milk when the per cent of
fat in milk and in cream is known, find
the amount of cream by the rule given
above and then subtract this from 100.
Example -How much skim milk is pro-
duced from 100 pounds milk containinte
4 per cent fat when the cream contailib
25 per cent fat? Four divided by 25
equals 0.10; 0.16 multiplied by 100
equals 16; 100. minus 10 equals 84, the
number of pounds of skim milk.
To Prevent Cow Sucking Herself.
There are many devices to prevent
cows front sucking themselves. A
RAN], halter is shown in the accom-
panying cut from American Agricul-
turist. A. buckle at the upper part be-
hind the ears makes it quite easy to
detach it. The cut shows hone the
SPIKED HALTER IN PLACE.
spikes are secured. The spikes should
not be over two inches long. They are
best made of wrought nails, but a good
wire nail with a flat head will suffice.
The nails may be placed in an iron
vise and the heads flattened as muck
as possible. They are then driven into
a piece of thick leather and secured by,
sewing or riveting it upon another
piece of leather, as shown in the cut.
An old halter can be used to good.
advantage. First drive the spikes in
the nose piece as desired;' then sew or
rivet a piece of leather over the heads
of the nails.

f
A Poor Place For the Cooler.
It is not uneommon to find a milk
cooler Bung in or near the cow stable,
where', the air is laden with dust, dirt,
foul odors and possibly disease germs,
which readily pass into the milk. The
best dairy practice requires that the
milk shall be removed from the stable
as quickly as possible after it is drawn, r -
preferably to a building or a room in-
dependent of the barn, where It can be
aerated with pure air and cooled at'
once in clean surroundings.
Ole/toted of hoods.
Silage is the cheapest of foods. Ex-
tieriment stations have demonstrated
this by actual tests. These proved
that on sllage ration milk costs 681)4
cents per 100 polmds, while on grafts
ration it costs. $1.05 per 100 pounds;
'average net profit per cow per month
on allege, $5.86%, and with grain only'
$2,1444. -Texas Farm and Ranch.
