For plant life the hoe is a wonderful
exhilarator and beneeactor. It need not
be plunged deeply auto the soil, but
sbonld be drawn just below the surface.
This requires but trifling strength or
energy and accomplishes much..
The crust an the earth is thus broken
and air, light and warmth penetrate,
sweeten and convey to the roots what
the plant needs. Hoeing thus lightly
done checks the lose of moisture from
the earth by breaking up the ohannela
of its escape; and because of the open
condition, the soil absorbs and holds not
only rainfall, but dew as well.
How You Can Test the Blood.
Paleness of the lips, gums and inside
of the eyelids tells of weak, watery
blood, while other indications are Ian -
quid, worn out and despondent feelings,
headaches, nervous troubles and weak-
ness of the bodily organs. To say that
the blood is thin and weak is to mean
that it banks iron and the other elements
of which Dr Ohase's Nerve Food is coin -
posed. There is no greater blood build-
er.
tt
Go Slow I
The St. Catharines Star -Journal under
the above heading sounds this warning:
"The necessity for reasonable rest, for
good food, for pure air and Olean living
should not need much demonstrating,
yet everywhere, and in the larger cities
particularity, there are multitudes who
are cutting a pace that the human sy-
stem cannot stand. Men are acting as
if there were no limit to the strata they
put on bone and sinew and nerve.
Night is turned into day, and tired
nature is deprived of its restorer. Life
is being threatened and ehorcened by
gross abuses in foods and drinks and
narcotics. The young men of New York
are going down in thousands from cos-
snmption, Bright's dinette and heart
failure, all of which are superinduced,
in medical opinion, by the excesses of
the times.
"The larger cities have their attrac-
tions, but they have their disadvantages.
It keeps one busy, amid the tumult and
the rush, to maintain a comfortable
demeaner to pass the boors of day hap-
pily in business and profitable pursuits,
and to use the time they have otherwise
in seeking the rest or recreation that
preserves the health."
The conclusion is that something must
be done to preserve life, undone eminent

HER AGE.
[Sam Kiser.]
What does it matter abeat her -age, since
her smile hi glad and her face is fair?
Her sisters jealously ssy she is old; per-
haps she is guilty --I do not care;
She has all the glee teas a girt should
claim; I am giad when her praise is
given to me;
Har heart is the heart of a japing girl --1
do not ask whet her age may be. S
Women who long ago forgot that epeeoh
was given to spread delight.
Who cave ceased to know teat the world
is not a sphere immersed in eternal
night.
Scold in corners and darkly frowa be-
cause young gladness her bosom fills,
Because she doesn't sit sadly down and
gravely grumble about her ills.
She has never hidden with caning hands
the silvery.straads la her glossy hair,
And she dues not sit wits a gloomy look
because she knows they are gleam-
ing there;
_The Iines that show on her brow are net
the lines that profitless fretting
brings.
Her dove ars spent in the joyful task of
finding the pleasing, wearing things.

HOMESTEADER'S SEVERE EXPER-
IENCE IN THE FAR WEST.
Life In the Blizzards and Snow -Wrap-
ped Stillness Cattle Starving.
Suffering From Intense Cold ---
Faces Covered With ice --Lost far
Three Days ---Were Scared by Tim-
ber Wolves.
The severity of last winter on the
prairie and the hardships of the
homesteaders are graphically given
in this letter of an Ontario bay who
went through the experience himself-
He writes:
"What should happen on Good Fri-
day --those measly oxen both croaked,
and we dropped another $175. Say,
you can't imagine how tough that,
was. But we wouldn't mise this win-
ter's experience for considerable.
"We have seen life on the wild west
prairie with a blizzard raging for
two days and cattle starving in an-
other man's stable while be was off
on a jamboree. We either had to let
them starve and freeze or run a
chance of doing the same ourselves.
Fed the Hay Roof.
"The owner had been away 12 days,
and we had to feed the hay roof off
the sheds. Some calves appeared one
the scene and things began to get
worse. We had no grub ourselves
and no way of getting any. We muf-
fled up the best we could and drove
the herd north til the teeth of a bliz-
zard to hay stacks. Now we had our
troubles with some of those big steers
putting them through Ebur feet of
snow. My face was covered with ice.
with peep holes for my eyes and en
opening for my mouth. Then we car-
ried
atried back hay for the cows with
calves. We had to make two trips
with horse blankets to 'do this, Then
we killed off some poultry and one
pig and scraped up a little flour and
fed the inner man. I had both knees
and both big toes frozen badly, aisa
the tops of my fingers and my nose. •
Well, we kept this sort of thing go-
ing 12 days, and during that time he
lost two cattle, two calves, one dog,
25 hens, one pair of ducks, and our
respect.
His Yarn Didn't Go.
"And that is only one of the many
hard knocks we have had this win-
ter. But we got souare with that
son of a sea -cook. He was commis-
sioned to bring us home $6 worth of
potatoes. Well, he came back with
a tarn about them freezing, and we
had to swallow it, of course. But
when things got too thick we `dared
to beard the lion in his den, the `
Douglas in his haIl.' We walked into
his shack and choked him against the
wall, made him apologize for some re- -
ports he spread. for things he called
us in the preliminary engagement.
and also fork over 36. Now he is our
best friend. Yes; but I always fol-
low hint in or out of a doorway.
"Enough? Not yet. The guy who
wintered our oxen, or failed to winter
thetas is required to make a settle-
ment. We do not yet know what we
can do in this matter, but whatever
it is we will do it to the full. Hell.
' go back to Whitechapel if I pro-
nounce sentence. We have certainly
had some bad Iuck, but we are go-
ing to give it another go. We will
work in Saskatoon this summer, if
necessary, and make another start.
The Call of the Wild.
"We have done everything you read
of in these wild western stories. We
have ridden after wild cattle for 12
hours at a time; packed grub
through the Eagle Hills by pony;
'toted' it through on our backs, haul-
ed it with oxen and often have done
without it. We have been after deer„
and have heard the howl of timber
wolves within half a mile of us, when
we were five miles in the bush. We
have squatted around the Iittle tin
stove and smoked the pipe with old
dog -faced squaws in their tents. We.
have slept out many a night, and have
trapped like the coureurs de bois.
(We shipped about $50 worth of furs
on April 1st to Winnipeg.) We have
seen the tracks of lynx and bear
within a stone's throw of our shacks.
We have lived a glorious life to Iook
back at it, but when it was being
lived, it was far from glorious.
Lost For Three Days.
"Park was Iost for three days and
nights in January. The first night
he and Hill stayed all night on the
prairie, within half a. mile of a shack
and it was 53 below. Hill lost his
nerve and Park had to put hint in a
snow bank and kick hint to keep him
awake. He has since lost his toes.
Then Park got the mail at this shack
and started home alone --fifteen miles.
He was ant two more nights and he
would have been in the snow some-
where yet, only he kept in the bush
and had a fire at night. When he
got to the ranch I was jest going to
get the pony to hunt them up. T
really did not recognize hint, be was
so emaciated. We soon got him all
0.X. again. The people at home will
not be ante the wiser."

Brown Tali Moth In Canada.
The brown tail moth has made its
appearance in the Annapolis Valley of
Nova Scotia. A specimen of what was
thought to be this insect was diecotr-
ered some tteeks.ago in King's county
and was sent to the AgricuIturaI De
pattmnt .t Ottawa, for report. The
experts there have positively identi
fled it. Since thein a number of speei.
»tens have been found in Digby and
el other points in the fruit region of
this province.
Principal Cumming, of the Nova.
Scotia Agricultural College, says this -
is the first invasion of any part of
Canada by this pest, and he Odds that
the danger that it will spread and do
untold damage is very real. Agents of
