Mr. Charles Beauvais, a respected citizen of St. J'ohn's, Que„ writes :-- "For 14 years I suffered from chronic piles or hemorrhoids and considered my case very serious. I was treated by a well-ltnown physician who could not help me, and my doctor decided on an operation as the only means of relief. However, I resolved to try Dr. Chase's Ointment first. The first box brought me great relief, and by the time I had used three boxes I was completely cured. This is why it gives me such great pleasure to recommend Dr. Chase's Ointment to everybody suffering from hemorrhoids as a pre- paration of the greatest value."

The addition of milk improves articles of doubtful food value. Milk is x balanced ration in itself. It bee a peculiar fitness for building up bone and the various tissues and organs of the body. Milk is one oe the most easily digest- ed of all foods. And it can be serv- ed in a great variety of appetizing ways. Skim milk, often regarded as a waste product, is high in nutritive value, be- cause it contains those elen eats that built up the muscular tissue or lean meat. Indirectly choice food ie produced in the form of veal, pork, and poultry from skim -milk.

It afterwards attacked my Heart, and I had pains all over the body, so I could hardly move around. I tried all kinds of medicines but none of them did me any good. At last, acting on the advice of a friend, I decided to try 'bruit-a-tives'. I bought the first box last June, and now I am well, after using only three boxes. I recommend 'Fruit-a-tives' to anyone suffering from Indigestion, no matter how acute". FRED J, CAVEEN.

This quotation is sufficient to indica'e the importance of this bulletin, which treats of the origin and course of the disease and of its prevention and cure. Appropriate plain and colored illustra- tions add to the value of the publication. The second bulletin, numbered 18, has for its title, "Avian Tuberculosis." Dr. Higgins, pathologist, and A. V, Wickware, V. S., assistant pathologist, are the joint authors, It is hardly necessary to allude to the importance of checking and suppressing a disease that affects alike, birds, beasts and men. The authors show that the com- plaint can be transmitted by domestic pets to those who caress them and in the reverse direction. Details of ex- periments made at the Dominion Bio- logical Laboratory are given in the bulletin, which also describes the Byrn- toma, steps in prevention that can be taken and remedial treatment that can be applied. In both bulletins poultry breeders and all persons interested are invited to send cases to the Biological Labor- atory, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, for investigation. M. -a. ANCIENT WRITING. no History of Manan began When an Alphabet Was Pevieed. Feiritapa the moat valuable inveu ttiott .after the waking of lnaguaps ;tray that of writing, says a writer in "Student's Investigations." Picture alrriting was the first used by primi- nye men, such as was and still Is used by the Indian tribes of the uew world, die characters in this system of writ. g Were picture$ of objects very crude in art, as for instance tbe picture of the eye, to indicate the organ of sight, and then again symbols for ideas were drawn, such as a picture of an arc, representing the sky and wavy lines beneath, thus indicating rain. This system of representing ideas and ob- jects, which is the most natural to man, is known as ideographic, and the signs are called Ideograms. When tbe picture writer used sym- bols to represent the sounds of the human voice -that is, words and not objects or ideas -be took a great step in perfecting the system of writing. When symbols are used to represent words the ideogram becomes a phone - gram, and tite writing is called pho- nsound w- ansetic andor Assyriansriting. used The characters Babylonito represent syllables instead of words, thus reducing the number of signs used in their writing to a few hun- dred. When characters or symbols are used to represent syllables they are called syllable phonograms, and a collection or such signs is called, a syl- Iabary. But still this system was clumsy. and a final step was taken in the mak- ing of an alphabet, the symbols being DISTRIBUTION OF SEED AND POTATOES HYDRAULIC RAMS. About one farm out of every three in this Province has a creek or spring within one or two hundred rods from the house or barn, In nearly all such cases, by means of a hydraulic ram, the conveniences of running water could be installed in these buildings. A ram is practicable where the spring or brook by means of a dam, will give a fall of eighteen inches or over, yet as the height increases the more powerful the ram operates. This machine is a sort of automatic pump, which will lift, roughly, one gal- lon of water in every seven supplied it by the creek or spring. The height to which the water is lifted depends on the head or fall of the source of supply. For instance, a fall of ten feet is suffi- cient to raise water 150 feet above the the machine, but if only a 75 -foot raise were required the ram would raise twice the quantity. The ram is driven by the force of the water behind it and requires no atten- tion when once installed, except oiling and, after being in use for several years the renewing of some of the valves. The cost of the machine itself is low, varying from $9 to $20. depending on the slze. For an average farm, includ- ng the ram, pipes, valves, drains, ele- vated tank, etc., the cost of installing a complete outfit would be approxi- mately $40 to $125, depending on the distance of the ram from the buildings and the quality and size of fixtures used. A general rule to follow in figuring the pumping capacity of a hydraulic ram is: Multiply the quantity supplied by the spring in gallons per minute by sixty-five. Multiply this product by the "head" or number of feet in fall, then divide by 100 times the height to which the water is to be lifted. The result will give the quantity of water lifted per minute. There is a difference of opinion among authorities as to which breed of horses is superior as regards the soundness of the feet, and the enthusi- asts of every breed make strong claims for their favorites. For years the Scotch breeders of Clydesdales have paid particular attention to securing substantial, well-built and sound hoofs in the breed, and the Clydes are quite noted for their soundness in this parti- cular. It is a notable fact, however, that white shelled feet are generally softer than darker colored feet, and since many Clydes are white-footed it would seem that there should be many soft-shelled feet in the breed. Strong claims are made for tee Suffolk horses of England as regards their soundness of hoof and the same thing holds good with the Percheron horses of France. Practically, this question settles itself into the qualities of the individual ani- mal, for with all the pains that have been taken to develop the principal draft breeds, the breeders would never 'nave overlooked so important an item as the soundness of the hoof, and it probably cannot fairly be said that one breed excels another in this regard.- Successful Farming.

Minister of Agriculture a free distribution of superior .sorts of grain and potatoes will be made during the coming winter and spring to Canadian farmers. The samples will consist of spring wheat (about 5 lbs.), white oats (about 4 lbs.), barley (about 5 lbs.), and field peas (about 5 lbs.) These will be sent out from Ottawa. A distribution of potatoes (in 3 lbs. samples) will be carried on from sever- al of the Experimental Farms, the Cen- tral Farm at Ottawa supplying only the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample of grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. If both samples are asked for in the same letter only one will be sent. Applica- tions on any kind of printed form can- not be accepted. The destruction by fire of the cereal building at Ottawa, which contained grain cleaning machinery and a large stock of seed grain for distribution. may make it necessary to curtail the distribution to a certain extent. We shall fill as many as possible of the ap- plications which conform to the rules; but requests received after the end of December will probably be too late. Samples cannot be sent in response to applications (no matter when received) which fail to state clearly the needs of the applicant, his experiences in crop - raising, and the character of the soil on which he intends to sow the seed. All applications for grain (and appli- cations from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec for potatoes) should be addressed to the Dominion Cerealist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Such applications require no postage. If otherwise addressed, delay and dis- appointment may occur. Applications for potatoes from farm- ers in any other province should be addressed (postage prepaid) to the Superintendent of the nearest branch Experimental Farm in that province, J. H.

The symbols then became true letters, a collection of which is called the alphabet, the writing alphabet. R'ben and where the first alphabet was made is not known, but several Semitic tribes were in possession of an alphabet as early as the ninth cen- tury B. C. It may truthfully be said !bat the history of man begins here. for without an alphabet records, dates, names and events could not have been recorded and preserved for us.

POULTRY BULLETIN One on Black -head in Turkeys, tate Other on Avian Tuberculosis Two bulletins of premier importance have recently been issued from the Health of Animals Branch of the Fed- eral Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, of which Dr. Torrance is the veterinary director-general. Both Publications Branch of the Depart- ment. The first No. 17, is entitled, "En- tero-Hepatitii or Black -head in Tur- keys." Chas. H. Higgins, B.S.. D.V.S., of the Biological Laboratory. is the author. While the disease has been known to affect all species of fowl it is usually seen in its most aggra- vated and fatal form in turkeys. Dr. Theobald Smith, of the United States Department of Agriculture made an investigation in Rhode Island during 1894 and 1895, but it was not until 1909 that the first mention was made of it in the Experimental Farms' Report of Canada. It has since, however, been repeatedly reported upon in the biolog• ical laboratories, both at Ottawa and Guelph. Dr. Higgins says that the ‘losses from the disease have been onor. mous, which supplies excellent reason for a close study of the bulletin. "The hATRIOT1CI MINIATURE TREES. Simple Plan by Which plants May Be Dwarfed in the Growing. For many centuries the Japanese have closely guarded the secret of growing miniature trees. Indeed, un- til recently they did not allow the trees to be taken out of tbe country; wealthy people keep them as art treasurers. Now, in America, dwarf trees bring a good price and are used as house plants and table decorations. By following the plan here described almost any one can raise diminutive trees with little trouble. Get a few large, thick skinned oranges and halve them. Remove the pulp nud cover the outside of the skins with thick shellac That will keep the skins from shriveling. Pill the skins with fine, rich soil. and plant therein n seed of whatever tree you wish to raise --or rather two or three seeds, to insure at least one good speci- men. Make a stand of some kind so that the growing tree can be kept In an upright position and set the plants where they will get plenty of sun, but do not keep them in a room that is likely to become overheated. Water them regularly, but not too profusely. After a time the rootS will begin to come through the orange peel. When that happens cut the roots off flush with the outer surface of the orange peel. but be careful not to injure the film of shellac. It is the cutting of the roots that stunts the plants. When the tree has reached maturity you can transfer it to a more attractive holder. Conifers such as cedars, pines and cryptomerias can be readily stunted; so also can other evergreens. as ilex and Citrus trifoliata. Some dwarf cedars have been known to live 'more than 500 years. Fruit trees, such as the orange and plum, blossom and bear perfect fruit. -Youth's Companion.
