Read the words of praise, Mr. M. A. McInnis,.
Marion Bridge, N,S., has for Doan's Kidney
Pills, (Hetrrites us): "For the past three years
I have suffered terrible agony from pain across
my kidneys. I was so bad I could not stoop
or bend. I consulted and had several doctors
treat me, but could get no relief. On the advice
of a friend, I procured a box of your valuable,
We -giving remedy (Doan's 1 idney Pills), and to
my surprise and delight, I immediately got
better. In my opinion Doan's Kidney Pills have
Ito equal for any form of kidney trouble."
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents, per baa or
three boxes for $1.25, Can be procured at all
dealers or will be mailed direct on receipt of
price by The Doan Kidney Pill Co., Toronto,

-Stetistios can be eloquent and a wou-
derful story is told by the Canadian im-
migration returns for the fiscal year
endiug June 30, 1906.
The total immigration for the twelve
months was 189,064, as against. 142,266
in the previous year, an increase of 42,•
798 or 30 per cent.. The summarized re-
turn are as follows:

Total 1411 266 180 064 42 798
The British immigration is subdivided
as follows: -

The proportion of meu to women
among the newcomers is three to one.
The marvellous growth of immigra-
tion in the past decade is illustrated in
these figures:

PULSE OF THE PRESS.
Spitting is largely a habit and unneces-
sary, almost exclusively indulged in by
mon and boys. Has anyone ever seen a
woman expectorating on the street; if so,
did he continua to think of her with re.
spent? Why should that be so discredit-
able in a woman which is right in man?
I1 the men would respeoi the law against
spitting on the sidewalk, it would not be
long before the boys would cease the
nuisance. -Hamilton Spectator.
If it is right that the wrongs of eight
years ago should be exposed, why should
the infamies of the general election of
1896, to say nothing of those of previous
years, not to be brought to light? The
passing of ten years has not put into the
limbo of forgotten things the instructions
sent out by the Conservates into the var-
ious constituencies on the eve of the Fed-
eral election of 1896, giving complete de-
tails of how every kind of ballot trick

How Eczema
is Recognized
rZ most constant and trouble-
some feature of eczema is the
itching and burning which varies
from that which is simply annoy-

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

MRS, HUNTER'S STORY
Says she and her Husband Agree
Perfetly. Both Quite Well Again.
Mra. I Hunter, of 111
Raglan Road, Kingston,
Ont., has written for
publication a statement
of her caaa as follows:
"Lhav3 suffered with
kidney and liver trouble
and ohronio constipation
for some time. I was
subject to dizziness, bil-
Mrs, I, HUNTER ions headache, nervous•
near, drowsiness, pains in back and side,
and a tired, weary feeling nearly all the
time.
"I tried almost every remedy, was
treated by doctors and druggists with
little or no benefit.
"Finally, a friend advised me to try
Dr. Leonhardt'a Anti -Pill, and the re-
sults have been truly wonderful.
"My husband has used Anti -Pill, for
rheumatism and was benefited greatly.
We agree that Anti -Pill is a most won-
derful medicine and heartily recommend
it."
This is a very strong recommendation.
Anti -Pill is undoubtedly the greatest of
family remedies. All druggiets, or the

What is a Cow Worth?
What are the cows worth that produce
400 lbs. of butter per annum? Hers I am
going to make a statement and undertake
to prove it correct, says Mr. H.B. Gorier
as quoted by Hoard's Dairyman. When
a cow that produces 200 pounds of butter
at a food cost of $39 and a labor cost of
$12.50 is worth $35. The cow that pro-
duces 400 pounds of butter annually, is
worth $400; and the owner can make
net $16 more after paying interest on the
$400 than he can from the cows that pro.
duce 200 pounds of butter. There is no
mote labor connected with the 400 pound
cows than there is with the 200 pound
cows. The price at which butter has
been credited, i. e, 20 cents a pound, is
the net price from the creamery after
the milking has been paid for. In this
herd the increase cost of feed for the 400
pound cows was More than offset by the
increased amount oLskim milk, so we
have the profit over7he 200 pound cow.
Two hundred pounds of butter at 20e, is
840, We have $400 invested in these
cows, which at six per cent. interest is
824, which we will deduct from the $40
1 and we have have left $16 to the credit
of the 400 pound coat*.

POULTRY ON THE FARM.
Three Rules By Which Sure Success
May Be Attained.
It has often been stated thatideal
conditions for poultry raising exist off
the farm, and yet there Is no other
class of stock so neglected by the av-
erage farmer.
A31 the 4thee stock is provided with
comfortable quarters, which are kept
clean and free from vermin, while the
henhouse is well supplied with cracks.
broken windows and lice and has not
been cleaned for two years. Ask any
of these men why they don't keep
more hens, and you will be told that
they don't pay, that they only keep
a few to supply eggs for home use
and ehave to buy eggs in the winter.
Now, how can, these objections be re-
moved and poultry be made to pay on.
the farm?
First. -By replacing the mongrel
'birds with thoroughbred stook. This
can be done at small expense by pur-
chasing eggs and using the scrub hens
as incubators.
Second, -By providing comfortable
houses for the birds. This does not
necessarily mean expensive houses.
Buildings good enough for all practical

HOOF INJURIES.
Nail Wounds May Cauce Blood Poison-
ing or Lockjaw.
It has long been known that nail
pricks and other similar injuries in
the horse's hoof may lead to an in
fection, followed by the formation of
pus uncle. the horn of the hoof and a
serious general disease of the horse or
at least the loss of the hoof. In a bulle-
tin of the South Dakota station Moore
has recently reported results Obtained
in a .number of cases from applying
a strict antiseptic treatment to injuries
of this sort,
The method consists in paring away
the horn of the hoof from the affected
part until the blood oozes out. The
hoof is then thoroughly washed in a
solution of bichloride of mercury at
the rate of 1 part to 500 of water, after
which absorbent cotton saturated in a
solution of the same strength is ap-
plied to the wound and' the whole hoof
is packed in cotton surrounded by a
bandage and well coated with tar.
This prevents any further filth from
coming in contact with the wound.
The operation must usually be done
by a qualified veterinarian. Subse-
quent treatment, however, can be ap-
plied by the average farmer, since ail
that is necessary is to pour a. little of
this solution of bichloride of mercury
upon the cotton which projects from
the upper part of the bandage. The
cotton will absorb enough of the solu-
tion to keep the wound moistened
and hasten the healing prbcess. If a
remedy of this sort is not adopted in
the case of foot wounds in the horse
the owner runs considerable risk of
serious infection, either blood poi-
soning or lockjaw. .
Rape May Be Sow Late.
As a green feed fo • soiling -that is,
cutting and feeding• green -or for pas-
ture rape stands unequaled among
crops suitable for swine. It should be
sown in rows two feet apart on stub-
ble, fallow or well rotted sod at the
rate of three pounds per acre. It may
be sown any time, as long as there re-
main six weeks of growing weather
before severe frosts are to be expect-
ed. If intended to be pastured the
pigs should be turned in before the
rape comes up to the top of their
shoulders. No greater area should be
given than they are likely to keep
down to that. height or lower. If not
pastured or out too close to the ground
it will keep on growing as long as the
growing season lasts. Greater returns
may be expected from soiling than
from pasturing a given area. Feed-
ing pigs will generally make more
rapid 'gains when it is being fed to
them in moderate quantities in pens
than when at pasture on it. Breeding
stock are likely to do better when they
can use it as pasture. Feeding pigs
receiving all the rape they will eat on
rape pasture should receive somewhat
less meal than they would if in their
pens. From one-third to five -sixths of
the regular ration should be fed; the
more rapid the gain desired, of course,
the heavier the ration. -J. H. Grisdale,

Cement Work..
It seems that the foundation has
much to do with the success of cement
work, according to the Cement Era; for
stable floors or clay or loam one should
proceed as, follows: Excavate six to
eight inches for foundations, fill in
with cinders, crushed stone or sand;
spread in three each layers and tramp
well. Foundations should be well flood-
ed and aIwed to stand for a week or
more in order to become thoroughly
compacted; smooth off to a level sur-
face.
To Drive Away Red Mites.
To exterminate red mites remove
nests, roosts and every movable ob-
ject in henhouse, coat with good hot
whitewash, a little crude carbolic acid
added, ceilings, walls,. nests, creeks,
floors and dropping boards thoroughly.
When the house Is dry paint the roosts
with a mixture of five parts of coal oil
and one part of carbolic acid. Repeat
again twice at intervals of a month,
and your house wilrbo entirely free
from these pests, aceording to Poultry
Success.
Care of Dairy Utensils.
