The Wingham Times, 1914-05-28, Page 3THE WING1IAM TIMES, MAY 2g 1011 MAY. This blooming month deserves all praise, and should inspire some poet's song; it ought to have two hundred days, and each day just a fortnight long. In May the winter chill is gone and there's not heat enough to hurt, and we can play upon the lawn, or man- ufacture pies of dirt. The garden sass we love is cheap, and we may have a full repast; the nights are cool, and we can sleep as slept Old Masters in the past. In May the flies are far between and one can slumber in his bed, on Sun- day morn, without a screen in which to lik‘ hide his weary head, The chiggers and the bugs and bees are not yet organ- ized for strife, and one may sit beneath the trees, and there enjoy a peaceful life. May is the resting place betwixt the winter stress and summer strain; it keeps the two from gettipg mixed, and shields us from all kinds of pain. And now the girls are bending o'er their needles, morning, night and noon, and buying glad rags at the store, which they will wear as brides in June. And everyone feels young and gay, ex- istence is a cheerful thing; and he's a dead one who in May declines to smiles and dance and sing, Walt. Mason.

The city of Guelph has disposed of $125,307 five per cent. debentures for 15 and 20 years at 100,32, a rate slightly above par. Bride's Kitchenware, Out of a number of lists a necessary utensils submitted the following was made up as being a good working basis for a beginning: Woodenware-One bread board, one rolling pin, one email spoon for stirring sauces, one large spoon, one square board to be used for preparing meats and vegetables. In a house, washtubs, scrubbing board and a wooden pail or two must be added, Earthen or Stoneware -One crock for mixing, one quart bowl, one pint bowl, the baking dishes of different sizes, which can be used for puddings, casse- roles, etc. It is better to get the new aluminum ware instead of granite or tin ware for cooking utensils, for though it is more expensive in tF,e beginning, its durabil- ity more than compensates, and there is not the constant chipping which makes granite unsafe. So in this ware the housewife selects her tea . kettle, one large stew pot, one double boiler. In ironware she will need one deep frying pan, one small frying pan, one large roasting pan. The covered self - roasters are splendid for every kind of meat and save much trouble. In tinware she will want a clothes boiler, which should have a copper bot- tom, two bread pans, two or three cake pans, two or three pie pans, one colan- der, one wire sieve A big oil merger has been closed by Earl Grey, by which the British Union Oil Company has obtained a controlling interest in the Union Oil Company of California for fifteen million dollars. ,11.11•0111.11•MINIII antemolanazomminmemio maryoommagowpas ++++4444744FREIME444.4.4.4.4.4.++++ 4.4.4.444.4.4.***13/4/M444.44+++4e, iThe Times 4. 4. 4.

How to make the hen nay the preach- er and bear all other expenses of the church and never know it has been figured out by members of the Har- mony Church, five miles northwest of Ravenwood, Mo, Farm and Ranch tells the story, and says the project followed Sunday's egg collection at the Harmony Church, when the worshippers brought the Sat- urday product of their hens to church instead of the usual dimes and quar- ters. One hundred and sixty-eight dozen eggs went into the contribution boxes, or bl25 worth, figuring the value at 16 cents a dozen, the present price there. This makes tha value of the eggs of the community $9,03e a year, and there is a move on foot to market these eggs, guaranteed, as a community, claiming the three to five cents a dozen extra. that is paid for such eggs as compared with the uncertainties of the ordinary product. The difference will pay the preacher, keep the church in repair, buy special music and coal and keep the church's light plant ,running. The women of the community have agreed to undertake the plan and they will organize into an egg shipping company for that purpose. THE CHINCH BUG. The Experimental Farms Branch of the Department of Agriculture has issued Entomological Circular No. 3, entitled "The Chinch Bug in Ontario." This has been prepared by Mr. H. F. Hudsori, Field Officer of the Entomolo- gical Service. In the United States the losses due to the ravages of the Chinch Bug, during the last sixty years, considerably exceeded $350,000,- 000. Fortunately no very serious out- breaks have, as yet, occurred in Cana- da, but the insect has established itself in Middlesex County in Ontario, and has been reported also from Nova Scotia. The Circular, therefore, is timely and discusses the methods to be adopted in order to control the insect. In 1912, an investigation of the infested area in Mddlesex county was made by the above Field Officer, and the life - history of the insect, etc , was studied. In the Circular the information gather- ed during the investigation is given. Preventive measures, such as clean farming, rotation of crops, etc., are discussed, as well as artificial remedies. Copies of the circular may be obtained free of charge from the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE REIVIOV- AL'OF MALE BIRDS AFTER THE BREEDING SEASON. BY W. A. BROWN AND J. H. HARE. Eggs which have been fertilized con- stitute the greatest proportion of the inferior stock which, when examined, proves unfit for food. It is not neces- eery that these shall have remained for a time under a broody hen, a tempera- ture of seventy degrees being, in itself, sufficient to cause the germ to com- mence to grow. If the heat is constant the developement of the chick will con- tinue, but if it ceases or is intermittent, putrefaetion at once sets in and the egg becomes bad. On the other hand infertile eggs which are free from the active germ cell, do not, under ordinary conditians, deteriorate seriously. Few farmers seem to realize these facts, and consequently very few make any effort to insure infertility. The impression prevails among many, that the presence of the male bird in the flock is essential to the production of a maximum number of eggs. This as- sumption has been proven, time and time again, to be absolutely without foundation. Farmers and others selling eggs for market are recommended to kill off or dispose 9f the male birds after the breeding season. .As a result of their remaining with the flock after June 1st, Canadian farmers lose each year at least a million dollars, through the presence of partially incubated eggs in the produce which is marketed. The fact that the best trade in many cities in Canada now offers the premium of from one to five cents per dczen, for non -fertilized eggs, suggests an addit- ional financial.consideration which but few can afford to overlook.

MacKay, who has since gone to Edmonton in the office of Attorney -General Cross. Mr. Rowen had never been in Parliament, though in 1900 he made a run for the House of Commons in East York and was beaten. He wss well entitled to the leadership, because he is an able lawyer, a highly moral man. an unim- peachable citizen, a fine student of politics and a splendid speaker. Mr. Rowell began life as a parcel boy in London, Ont, dry goods store. Ile went to the public school and became a cltrk. All the education he got after- vvarde was based upon self-help; and Mr. Rowell may be considered an edu- cated man, who had made the best pos- sible use of his opportunities. He is a member of the University of Toronto Senate and of the Board of Regents of Victoria College And by great dili- gence and ability he has worked him- self up to a position where he may naturally be expected some day to be- come Premier of Ontario. LIFE THREATENED BY KIDNEY DISEASE His Health In A Terrible State Until He Took "fruit -a -fives " B. A. KELLY, Eo. HAGERSVILLE, ONT., Aug. 26th, 1913. " About two years ago, I found my health in a ,.ery bad state. My kidneys were not doing their work, and I was all run down in condition. I felt the need of some good remedy, and having seen "Pruit-a-tives " advertised, I decided to try them. Their effect I found more than satisfactory. Their action was mild and the result all that could be expected. " My kidneys resumed their normal action after I had taken 'upwards of a dozen boxes and I regained iny old-time vitality, Today, I am as well as ever, the best health I have ever had ". B. A. KULLY " rrult-a-tives " is the greatest Kidney remedy in the world. It acts on the bowels and the sl: in as well as the Kid- neys and thereby soothes and cures any Kidney soreness, " Fruit -a -ti ves " is sold by all dealers at 600 a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 26c, or will be sent on receipt of price by Itruit-a-tives Limited, Ottawa. THE WEARY CRY. Out from the heart of the city There comes a weary cry - "Could I but see my native glen Once more before I die? "To stand upon the rustic bridge, Where my love waited me, To whisper sweetest words e'er heard, 'Dear lassie, I love thee." Out from the heart of the city There comes a weary cry - "Could I but see my native hills Once more before I die? "To see them raise their rugged heads Like giants old and hoary, To see them when the sun has shed O'er them his dying glory." Out from the heart of the city There comes a weary cry - "To see the cot beside the sea Once more before I die. "Where first I saw the light of day, And heard the breakers roar, Where oft I with my brothers played Upon the sandy shore." From prairies green across the sea There comes a weary cry - "Could I but see my city home Once more before I die? 'Its stately buildings old and new, Its parks on every side, To wander through sweet Kelvingrove, Or by the banks o' Clyde." By sea or glen, by hill or town, • Where'er the feet may roam?

Do you merely comb out the tangles, twist it ur for the day and at night p(rhaps loosen it, without giving it further attention? If this is the way you treat it, do not waste time in com- plaining, for the deplored condition is your own fault, says "Woman's World." With a brush you can work wonders. Get one with short firm bristles -pig bristles are beat -and with strokes reaching from the crown of the head to the ends of the hair brush over every strand with easy strokes from five to ten minutes, both night and morning. Vigorous strokes, lasting only a short distance from the head, are not nearly as efficacious as the long ones. This brushing will keep the hair clean and the exercise stimulates the hair muscles and roots. What kind of comb do you use? Avoid combs of steel, and brushes with steel bristles. A. comb of horn, vulcanite or some similar substance, moderately heavy in weight, with teeth blunt and round and set a quarter of an inch apart, is best suited to the hair, for there is nothing on which to catch and break it. It should be used merely to separate the strands of the hair from one another and to take out the worst snarls, always drawing it the entire length of the hair. Never use a fine comb to remove dandruff. Let the daily brushing and massage perform the service more gently. Both comb and brush need a weekly cleansing. Bad Clehl in the Chest, "I am happy to tell you that I used Dr, Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur- pentine, and was promptly cured of a very bad cold in the chest," writes Miss Josephine Gauthier, Dover South, Ont. You can depend on Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine to relieve and cure all inflammation and irrita- tions of the throat and bronchial tubes. Sulphur in the Poultry House. To burn sulphur in a poultry house, first remove all combustible matter, says The Drover's Journal. Then put an old iron kettle into a dish pan and place on four bricks in the middle of the house. In the kettle put some cobs which have been soaked in a solution of one part of pine tar to four parts of kerosene, sprinkle the sulphur over the cobs and set on fire. 13e sure to have everything arranged so as to beat a hasty retreat from the room and close the door quickly, as sulphur fumes are 011•••••••MailIMILL. suffocating. Sulphur burned in this manner will penetrate every crevice as well as covering the surface, and aids wonderfully in purifying the building and in destroying poultry vermin. One pint of turpentine may be added to the half gallon of kerosene, as well as the pine tar, with beneficial results. Once a month is none too often to burn sul- phur in every poultry house.

John Gardiner's "Jersey Cream", Jim Jones' "Whizzer", Jack Holmes' "Chain Lightning" were the entries for the great free-for-all. Two of the drivers had sulkies like Casey Jones' six foot wheeler. These being the only two machines of the sort in town. The driver of "Jersey Cream" had to drive in a saddle. We can recollect the tense excitement to which we were all keyed up on the grandstand. The said grand- stand being a platform about 12x80 in front of Tindall's wagon shop opposite Paul's store. There was a silence that could be felt as the three cold-blooded, no -bred skins ca,me down Main street. You could cover them with a line. But "Whizzer" put on an extra spurt and passed the wire, or, rather, the scratch in the.dust, by a neck. "Time for half mile, 3 minutes," announced Jack Caesar. And.then the pent up feeling found went in one mighty cheer that made Bluevale echo down to the bottom of Timmin's cellar. The day,s sport, clean and healthy, was over. Bluevale had shot her bolt and made a record. The day was one of social pleasure and has not had a parallel until last Victoria Day when the baseball match was played. But that is another story. Long may those memories of Bluevale on the Twenty-fourth be cherished by those few of us who can recall the great event as boys. Money Urgently, Needed! Their lob sus never an easy one, even under favorable) conditions, They had to struggle along through sheer hard work and hand-to-moutit pinching and Romping. Then came the blow. The husband was etricken down taith tuberculosis. The wife was left with four little ones to keep.

This letter also shows how medicines of proven merit often cure the most compli- cated cases after doctors had given up hope. In this case two doctors said Mr. Hyndman could not get better, and, in fact, :le daily greW weaker so long as he followed their treat- ment. This is a remarkable victory for Dr. Chase's Mecticines and you will find the details of the case interesting. Mr. T, Hyndman, Farmer, Rupert, Que., writes: -"I had been gradually failing in health for two years and tried many remedies, among others I used Dr. Chase's Kidney. Liver Pills and found them doing me good. Some neighbors told me the Doctors said they were dangerous so I quit ilikeir use and went to the doctor. Under his treatment I got so weak I was unable to raise my head from the pillow, and he told me that I had Anaemia of the blood and could never be better again, so I sent for another doctor and he told me the same. I could not take their medicine and was continually vomiting, so I gave them up and said 'kill or cure I will again try Dr. Chase's medicines.' I used altogether fourteen boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food and pix bosces Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, and now I can work from six o'clock in the morning until seven at night and I don't poke at it either. Any man that works a farm knows what kind of a job it is. I honestly believe that I owe my life to Dr. Chase's Nerve Food and Pills, and I praise them everywhere 1 go.
