of a modim vivendi under whicli the
two countries are drifting apart,

the racial 'antipathies of Germans,

be seen in the improved relations
with Prance, of which many small

herself and the peoples over which
she has assumed control.

The ffrst result of the renewal of
the political alliance, with its mili-
tary conventions of a defdnsive char:
actor, is to be seen in the reported
meeting of the German Chancellor
and the Austre-Hungarian and Ttal-
- Mae Ministers for Poreign Affairs, to
be held to discuss the question of
commercial treaties. These are the
really 'important matters calling for
til they are settled there is no firm lef
basis for the political and military Wparts of the structure of the alli- a
th
ance. It is in connection with the
'commercial question that the renew- r
ed friendship betweth Italy and hi
France will be valuable to the form- to
er, and enable ,her to obtain con-
do
cessions from the other members of
the triple compact in consideration
of her support in political questions
comiected with the near East, the
A.driatic and the eastern Mediterran-
ean.
Aceardieg to all accounts there is
little doubt that a move is about
to be made in the direction of put-
ting some kind of order into the
misgoverned provinces of the Otto:
man Empire in Europe and Asia.
After long years of estrangement
Russia and BeIgaria have entered
• into intimate Velations, and Rus-
sia and Austria have made joint re-ethe
presentations at Cons tantin opl 0,

like a repetition of the Bulgarian rut
massacres of 1870. At the same an'
time Germany has insisted on the
Sultan placing the re -organization of
the Turkish finances and the Consoli-
• dation, of the Ottoman debt in the
lia.nds of a group represented by M.
Itouvier, the . distinguished French
financier. Out of deference to Rus-
sia, also, Gerniany has made certain

GREEN FOOD .A.ND ROUTS
HINTS ON ECONOMICAL PORK
PRODUCTION.
The Farmer Nay Make Forage
Plants the Chief Item. of
His Pig Peed.
•
In the past some onjections have
been raised by the packers ye the
use of forage pla.nts and roots for
pork production, but the light of
recent experiments would seem to
show their • fears or objections
groundless ; in fact, the good in-
fluen.ce of a consederable proportion
of green feed or roots in the ration
of a pig can saarcely be overestimat-
ed. It has long been known that
skim nailk bas a niost beneficial in-
fluence upon the thrift of the pork-
ers and quality of the pork, evon
when the amount fecl forms only a
small. part of the ration. Green food
and roots seem in a Maga measlere
to be capable of supplementing the
eew,—in view of the tremendous ex-
pansion in the Canadian bacon in
dustry,-equite inadequate supply o
dairy by-products, for use in pig
feeding. The farrner whose condi
tioes permit may go even furthei
than to use forage plants as ea
supplementary foocl. He may even
make them the chief item of his pig
feed if he is careful to use a gooc
proportion •of grain, (oats, peas and
barley), during the last month of
the feeding period.
As the season is rather far ad-
vanced for an exhaustive discussion
of forage crops suitable for this pur-
pose, I shall confine my remarks to
such as are
STILL SEASONABLE.
Cloven—Probably no crop is bet-
ter adapted to young pigs than
clover, and a bit of clover stubble
used for this pfirposc will give very
good returns. So far as our experi-
ments go, the pork so produced is
of goad quality.
Rape. -01 all the crops used here
so fax' for pasturing pigs, rape quite
easily stands first. The principal
.points in its favor are :—'(1) its
quick growth, (2) its wide range, as
it grows well in alniost any kind of
lend, (8) its long season, as it may
be sown as late as September and
still do lately well, (4) its evident,
palatability, as the pigs eat it
greedily, and (5) its good effect
upon' the quality of the bacon, pro-
ducing as it does, almost invariably
a good 'firm carcass. Rape may be
expected to be fit for pasturage from
6 to 8 weeks from date of solving.
It should be sown in rows about 24
inches apart, slime when so grown it
gives the greatest return per acre,
and is best adapted for pasturing.
It should be sown fairly thickly in
the rows, say three pounds of seed
per acre. An acre may be expected
to carry from 20 to 40 pigs
through a season, depending on the
season and the condition of the
croa when the pigs are turned in.
Vetches.—Vetches also are valuable
as forage for swine, and may ,be, un-
der exceptional conditions, sown
late in the season. Especially is
this true of the hairy Vetch, which
species has the peculiar (reality of
growing up again after having been
cut off and eaten down.
Oats—Probably no green crop will
give a better return in pork than
oats. They inay be sown late or
early' in the season at the rate ef 5
or 6 bushels to the acre and -the
pigs . turned On about: a, month' after
they germinate. The fault 01 thia
crop is that it lasts only it short
time, as it does not seem lee be able
to recover when once eaten down.
Artiohokes. — Another crop of
great value for pork -production is
BABY'S OWN TABLETS.
Ke•.tia Little Ones Well During the
Hot Weather Months.
If you want to keep your little
ones hearty, rosy and full of life dur-
ing the hot weather give them
Baby's Own Tablets the moment
they show signs of being out of or-
der in any way.
This medicine cures all forms of
stomach and bowel troubles, which
carry off so many little ones during
the summer months, and is the best
thing in the world for sleeplesstess,
nervousness, . irritation when teeth-
ing, etc. It is just the medicine for
hot weather troubles; first, because
it always does good; and, second,
because it can never do any harm—
guaranteed free from opiates. Mrs.
W. E. Bassam, Xingston, Ont., says:
—"I began using Baby's Own rrah-
lets when my little girl was a,botte
three months old. At that time she
had indigestion badly; she was
vomiting and had diarrhoea con-
stantly and although she had an ap-
parently ravenous appetite her foad
dui her no good and she was very
thin. Nothing helped her until we
began giving her Baby's Own Tab.
lets, but after giving her these thd
vomiting and diarrhoea ceased ancl
she • began to improve almost at
once. I have since used the Tab1at4
for other troubles and have found
them all tiaat edit be desired—they
are the best medicine I have ever
mad for a ehilel."
These Tablets du% readily taken by
all children, and can be given to the
smallest, Weakest infant by crusting
them to it powder. Sold at drug
stores or yet/ cat get them pest paid

Almost ell varieties of juicy forage
crops are suitable for pork produc-
tion, the Sorts mentioned above be
ing probably
TUIO BEST FOR CANADA.
The question as to the advisability
of allowing pigs to graze, or shut-
ting in a small ilea and teecung them
the green crops, noes not seem io
have been positively settled yet, for
while greater daily gains may be ex-
pected where animals are kept 111
lose quarters, there is always the
item of extra labor for cutting and
carrying the forage,
Another item of some importance
to the feeder is the Comparative
eeonomy of winter and slimmer feed-
ing of pigs. According to various
experiments conducted here recently,
pork may be produced at about
§1 per hundred pounds, live weight,
less cost in summer than in winter,
This seems to be 4.lue to less •cost
of green feed, as well ad to low
temperature, which must be over-
come by food • or by artificial heat.

Algoma Young Lady Speaks
Strong Plain Counsel to Her
Suffering Sisters --Tells Them
Her Own Experience as Proof.
Blind River, Ont., July 21.—(Spe-
qial)—Anyone who might to -clay see
Miss Emily Liddell ,of this place for
the first time would Ilnd it hard to
believe that only a few months ago
she was an invalid.
Miss Liddell suffered with Female
Weakness and Backache, and for
months was so ill as to be unable
to attend to her household duties,
the slightest task being too much for
her in her weakened condition.
She was terribly run down, and
nothing seemed to do her any good
or afford her the slightest relief till
she tried Dodd's Xidtey Pills. Prom
the very beginning they seemed to
help her, and although at first the
imerovement was slow she perse-
vered and gradually grew stronger,
till to -day she is in better health
than she has ever known before.
Miss Liddell is very grateful for
her remarkable deliverance, and
strongly recommends Dodd's Kidney
Pills to all her lady acquaintances
who need help. She has given for
publication a very strong letter • of
recommendation in which she says :
"I would most heartily and con-
scientiously advise all young women
troubled with Female Weakness in
any form, to try the remedy that
cured me after eveeything else had
failed, and that remedy is Dochl's
Kidney Pills.
"For months at a -time I was so
low and weak that I found it 'im
possible to attend to my household
'duties, my back used to ache some-
thing dreadful. Now I feel strong
and better than I ever did, and
Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all. They
are worth their weight in gold to
any young worna.n suffering as
used.to suffer.
"They built me .up wonderfully and
I cannot speak too highly of Dodd's
Kidney Pills as a medicine for sick'
Women."

THE XING'S POPULARITY.
With High and Low Re Is a Fav-
orite for Good cause.
What sort of a :ruler has Xing
Edward VII. turned out to be? To
this question -there is but one an -
ewer, both among the few who know
and the many who can only guess.
Tle has proved an admirable Xing,
writea Sydney Brooks to the New
York Commercial -Advertiser froni
London. There is it member of
Lord Salisbury's Cabinet, who is
one of the three most powerful
statesmen in the country. Many
think him the most powerful states-
man not only in the country, but in
the Empire. 1 -le was always a par-
ticular favorite with Queen Vic-
toria. He has beet thrown into
the closest relations, bothprivate
and official, with Xing Edward for
the last fifteen years. Personally he
dislikes the Xing. He 'disliked milin
when he was Prince of Wales; he dis-
likes him now. I have known aim
to use some startingly frank adjec-
tives on the subject. His opinion
of Edward VII. as a Xing is not
therefore influenced by any admira-
tion for him as a man. This makes
all the mare remarkable his deliber-
ately expressed judenient that "from
the day of his acceesion the Xing
has clone perfectly." He went on to
say that the Xing's shrewdness and
aet rind industry and extraordinary
uickness in grasping the point of
n argument, or a situation has
t,
a
ASTONISHED HIS MINISTERS.
He especially praised His Majeaty's
`Stenag'eablenesa," The Xing has
proved far more docile, more willing
to sarrender his peivate wishes, lees
erochety than was Queen Victoria..
"He had not, made it single mis-
take"; it Was "a, pleasure to work
with him"; you collie' always "rely

One Sunday, as a minister was re-
turning. homeward, he was accosted
by an old lady, who said: "Oh,
well do I like the day that you
preach." The minister was aware
that he wasnot very popular,, and
he answered: "My good lady, I am
glad to hear it. There are too few
like you, And why do you like
when I preach?" "Oh, sir," she re-
plied, "when you preach I can al-
ways get a good seat."

Messrs. C. C. Richards es Co,
Dear Sirs,—While in th m country
last summer I was badly bitten by
mosquitoes—so badly that I thought
I would be disfigured for it couple of
weeks. I was advised to try your
Liniment to allay the irritation,
and did so. Tile effect was more
than I expected—a few applications
completely curing the irritation, pre-
venting the bites from becoming
sore. MINAPD'S LINIMENT is also
a good article to keep off the mos-
quitoes.
Yews truly,

on his forehead, and went towards
his wife with the expression and air
of a man who at last has come to a
final decision.
"Now listen to me, wife," he said.
"And I de not want you t� oppase
me, do you year?"
"Yes, dear; what is it, then'?"
"Now, no opposition, mind! I
wish the boy to be an engineer."
"But, my dear, what are you talk-
ing about? We haven't any boy!"
"Oh, yes, that is so; I had for-
gotten that," said the professor, as
he resumed his seat.

AN EXPLANATION.
• In the criminal eourt of one of our
cities a badgering lawyer caught a
tartar in the person ef a physician
of considerable Meal repute. The
latel'er represented the defence, and
the doctor testified tante he ha.d
treated the prosecutor for a black
eye.
"What did you meat by. 6, 'black
eye'?" queried the attorney.
"I Mean" said the doctor, with -
oat a smile, "that the prosecutor
had received a severe eontesion over
the bower portion of the 'frontal
bone, peoducing extensive ecchyniosis
around the eye, together with -con-
siderable infiltratien of the subjac-
ent areolar
"Serves you right," Said the judge
to the abashed •• lawyer; "eyerybody
knowe what a Mack eye IS..."
