In warm weather every pee- sible means must be taken to get '; cream on the market in good condition. The warm days that have already pesseal bare had a marked effect le lowering the quality of cream now being made into butter. Attention > milt first be paid to cooling the cream just as soon as separated. However, the greatest exposure to heat usually comes when the . cream is hauled to market and the cans are left uncovered and exposed to the hot sun antrdust. It has been found by expert, merit that the temperature may , be kept more than 20 degrees lower when dampeued blankets are thrown over the can or dampened blankets are used •than when the cans are left un- • oc vered. In addition, the dirt 0. 0 and dust are kept away from the cans and cream. It is not only to the advan- tage of the producer to help in keeping up the quality of the cream so that good prices may continue, but low grade cream cannot be allowed to come upon the market in the future. -Colo- rado Station. 0' 0 0 0 00 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 0 00000000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 THE DUST MULCH. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 te. Should Be Renewed as Soon as Possi- ble After Each Rain. The common field crops require from 300 to 500 pounds of water for each pound of dry matter grown, hence the necessity for reducing the loss of wa- ter through surface evaporation. This can be most economically accomplish- ed by the maintenance of a dust mulch. A perfectly dry dust mulch does not have to be very deep to be effective. In practice it is found that the break- ing of the first two or three inches of surface soil forms an effective mulch. but sand mulches may be thinner than clay mulches. The mulch should be no deeper than is necessary for the re- duction of evaporation to a minimum, for the top soil is generally richer than the lower soil, and the thinner a mulch can be made and maintained effective- ly the greater the root range of the plants. The principle involved in the func- tioning of a dust mulch is that the capillary water is drawn from soil par- ticle to soil particle by surface tension until it reaches the surface of the soil and is evapornted. The plowing of the surface to the depth already indicated by means of a scrape or sweep dis- turbs the arrangement of the soil par- ticles and the disarranged particles "blanket" the surface and prevent the loss of moisture to any considerable ex- tent. It is necessary to renew the mulch as soon as possible after each rain be- cause dampening rearranges the par- ticles in such a way that capillarity will be re-established. A Wisconsin Idea. The Wisconsin experiment station evolved this type of the A shaped hog - house some years ago. It is easily built. is portable and is well adapted to the needs of the hog raiser. The materials are cheap. It provides a ventilating system, something too often lacking in the portable hog houses as well xis the per- manent types. It provides a rear door identical In size with that shown in the cut. The specifications for the material and construction of this house can be secured from the department of ag,r1- culture, Washington. A. portable floor may be installed if it is desired. •H-1-1-1-1-x±H÷:÷H÷H.444+4-÷4. 1.: DON'TS FOR PRUNING. t Don't wear hobnailed boots when pruning. In climbing about the trees they readily injure the bark. Don't leave your pruning to the hired man. The more you understand your trees the better you will prune them. Don't use dull tools. They make the work harder and produce rough wounds. Don't start all main limbs at the same height. Weak crotches are the result. Don't leave stubs in cutting ore limbs. They rot back and eause decay in the trunk. t Don't let suckers grow. They are worthless and draw upon the tree's food supply. Don't leave the larger wounds bare. Apply gOod white lead paint or cover with grafting wax. Don't slit the bark, bore holes or drive nails Into the tree. They only offer places of entry for fungous dis- eases. Don't use a hatchet for removing enekere. The hatchet is not a tool for scientific priming. Mel handle the tree t`oughly.

Many persons read the advertisements quite as thoroughly a3 they read the news matter. This is just as it should be. The more advertising,the more buying. The more buying. the greater the consumption of. the goods or service advertised. More business would be done by the merchants of Wingham if they advertised more, and if more of them advertised. Much business goes to the big city mail order houses because they advertise. These houses would cease to draw ousiness from this community if they ceased to advertise. To the Merchants of Wingham Advertise more, and more of you advertise, and the big city mail-order houses will get less and less business from this community, and you will get more.

Were the Ontario fart-mir dependent wholly upon grain growing the effect of last week's storm would be much more serious than it is. If the splendid crop of fall wheat can be handled with- out any serious damage the result will not be so serious. Other crops can be utilized as feed for stock, and will, therefore, not be entirely lost. The hay crop was generally light, so that the extra feed will not come amiss. The rain will help the root crop, and while corn is laid low in many places it will probably recover and serve the farmer in the usual way of increasing his feed supply. The fruit farmer has suffered considerably. But the dairy- man, and those specializing in live stock, will suffer little, if anything, from the storm's ravages. There is, therefore, a silver to the cloud, and the general result may not be so serious as was at first anticipated. The chief thing to remember is that the farmer, unlike the manufacturer, has not ab- solute control over production. To this extent he is handicapped, exert himself as he may. -Canadian Farm. Paralyzed luinabs. To -day it is sleeplessness, headaches, digestive trouble, and irritability. Next thing you know some form of paralysis has developed. Mr. Alex. Honsburger, 10 Moore street. St. Catharines, Ont., writes: "Nervous trouble developed into paralysis of the limbs so that I became helpless. Doctors failed me, but after using ten boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I re- sumed work, and now feel better than I did for 20 years." CAMPING OUT. [New York Times.] Dropping down the current in a leaky boat, Dressed in faded flannels and an ancient coat; Luncheonina basket, pipe between your teeth, Watching sun and shadow slipping un- derneath; Sunfish, minnows, bullheads, red.fins, too, in schools, Yanking speckled beauties from the pebbled pools; Later, in the twilight, frying pane of trout - That's the fun of camping -camping out!

'DM ClirtratAND & sumo.° n CO.MND.-O,ter THE WONDER OF IT To the Editor - The following from the White Ribbon Tidings should be spread as widely and repeated as often as possible till we profit by the example. "Although Russia is at war it seems in many respects to be enjoying a new hea- ven and a new earth. The treasuries of the saving's banks' are bulging. During the eight months ending April ist, 1914 the increase in the savings amounted to only $3,250.000. ' Then the war came on with its unprecedented expenses hut prohibition is the order of the day in all Russia and during the eight months from October 1st 1914, to April ist 1915, the increase in the saving's banks bas amounted to $120,000,000 or forty times as much as before prohibition. The effect on the health of the nation has been just as marvellous. The fall- ing off in diseases, especially those caused by alcohol or,, those to which alcohol Contributes has tallen off over seventy per cent. From July to December 1912, there were in Petrograd alone 97 suicides, but between the same dates in 1914 suicides were reduced to 14. In War- saw during the same periods, suicides were reduced from 419 to 205." Facts like these must rouse people to shake off the use of the deadly drug. But the liquor interest have employed the clever writers to deny the truth of these facts. We must remember that temperance people have nothing to gain but the welfare of the nation while the liquor men are fighting to retain this money making monopoly. • H. Arnott, M. B., M. C. P. S.

He was asked by his hostess for a recital ori his adven- tures. so glad to see you safely back from the war," she exclaimed. "Sit right down and tell me all about it. I'm awfully interested. Wasn't it simply terrible over there? And did you really live in the trenches for weeks at a time with the shot and the shell screaming all around you? I don't see how you could stand it. Were you ever hit by one of those 42 centimeter guns the Germans have? I mean by the bullet, of course, not by the gun. But then, of course, you weren't, or you would have your arm in a sling or something. Who do you th;nk is going to win? I suppose I shouldn't ask you that though. You soldiers are not sup- posed to tell military secrets, are you? Did you ever really kill a man yourself, or don't you know? My uncle, who was in the Boer war, says you never can tell whether it's your bullet, or somebody else's, that hits the enemy. I should think that would be awfully annoying. Not that you would want to know that you had killed a man, but still one would want to know whether one is wasting one's ammunition. Oh, must you go so soon? 1 wish you eould stay longer, I have been so interested in bath* your adventures. Call again, soon, won't you? Good-bye." legt,Rworm••••••••••, August 26th, 1915 "NOT ELIGIBLI0v What Men So Classed Are rp Against In 'Britain. The most miserable, most un- happy men in all Europe to -day are not those in the trenches, not those who lie, torn and mang'ed with bpt and shell, on hospital cots, but the men who, to all appearances 'n goad health, have been turned down at the recruiting stations, The unwar- ranted criticism they undergo Is the torture more galling to a proLd and sensitive spirit than any portsible ex- perience on the field of battle could be, "I know of an instance," says a titled English woman, "where a well-dressed woman walked up to a man on the street and s.hd: 'What are you doing here? What right have you to be here? Why are you not out at the front fighting for your country instead of loafing at home?' And her voice fairly shook with scorn and contempt, "But the man said to her very quietly and with the bitterest sad- ness in his voice: 'Madam, I have applied at five different places for permission to go to the front exactly as you suggest, and each time I have been refused. But might I ask what you are doing with two men sitting on the box of your motor? Why are they not at the front, and, for that matter, why is your motor itself here? It is needed at the front, too.' "A great many men are being forced to undergo such criticism, and the idea is seriously being consider- ed of having those who are medical- ly unfit, though apparently eligible to draft, wear some sort of badge, some sign on sleeve or in button- hole, which would indicate that they have volunteered their services to their country and have been refused. I know a very prominent man in London who has been steadily critic- ized and deeply wounded by all man- ner of insinuating remarks, and yet I know personally that that man has been refused at four different places because of varicose veins." Military Millinery Hit. A special despatch received by The Berlin Tageblatt from Brussels says the latest craze in millinery, Belgian soldiers' caps, has attained such great popularity there that the German,au- thorities have had to confiscate the new style of headgear from hundreds of women and to forbid the further use of such caps. The soldiers' wives and sweet- hearts had discarded the flags and other national color adornments and adopted the caps of' cavalrymen and carbineers, which they tilted at a rak- ish angle. The fad threatened to create a public nuisance, as the wear- ing of the caps by the women caused outbursts of patriotic enthusiasm at every turn. Horace Couldn't Understand. "What do you think of my hat, Bessie?" asked Mrs. Wimbleton when the maid came in and found her admiring herself before a mirror. "It's kind of nice,' 'said Bessie. "I almost bought it yesterday myself. You got it at Cargit & Sellum's, did- n't you?" "Yes." "I seen it there when I was lookin' around. But the one I got was only $2 more and twice as becomin', so I left it." Yet Horace Wimbleton heartlessly decided when he came home and found his wife weeping that women were naturally silly and in the habit of being miserable over nothing. The Skirmish. The yokels were enjoying the fun of the fair. Seeing an old fiddler playing in the street, some of them went over to him, and one, handing him twopence, asked him to „play the "Battle of Stirling Bridge." The old fiddler took the money and went rasping away the same as be- fore. The yokels getting tired of this, the spokesman again went over to the fiddler and said to him, "Hi, man, that's no the 'Battle of Stirling Bridge'." "I ken no," replied the old fid- dler; "that's the skirmish before the battle." --London Scraps. Blind justice. We meet our phiosophical friend and observe that he is smiling con- tentedly. "What has gone wrong now?" we ask. "Nothing has gone wrong," he explains. "Something went right.

Boils are caused by bad Maid, and unless the blood is made pure you cannot expect to get rid of them. Ointments and salves will do you no good. You must get at the seat of the trouble by using a good internal blood purifying medicine such as that grand old remedy Burdock Blood titters. Mr. Samuel Buckler, Tatarnagouche, tr,S., writes; "Last summer I was constantly troubled with boils. I had nine On my arms at oace, I thought it was caused from bad blood so 1 got two bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters, and before the first bottle was done 1 began to feet a great deal better, and before the second one was finished I did not have a boil, nor have I had one since. I cannot recommend B.B.B. too highly." Burdock Blood titters is manufactured only by The T. Milburn Co..
