Elson, on the farm of Mr. Peter Elson, at Hyde Park, agar London. Mr. Bison, jr., was at work spraying crops with paris green. He carried a compressed air tank on his back, which ,forced the fluid through the sprayer. This contriv- ance suddenly exploded, blowing the paris green in all directions. He is now confined to bed, and his condition is regarded as serious on account of the large amount of paris green poi- soning.—(Stratford Herald. Grad Cows These. Angus McQuarrie, Shrigley, bought a six-year-old grade milk cow from Andrew Dunn of Ingersoll, la€t spring. He decided to make a test of the milk recently and found that in thirteen days the cow produced 700 lbs. of milk. From his herd of five cows Mr. McQuarrie sells on an aver- age 00 lbs. of butter per week, —The corner stone of a new Angli- can church was laid last week in Walkerton. under Masonic auspices. Another Hall Storm Latest information shows that the flail storm, which swept the Leam- ington Fruit and vegetable belt, changed the fax prospects for this year very materially. It is esti- mated the peach crop and the melon crop were each reduced to half the value of a few days ago. The corn crop is also badly damaged, but the heaviest loss will be felt by the to- bacco growers. The tobacco crop. within the storm swept district will be a total loss, nothing being left stand- ing but the stems. The damage by the storm is estimated in the bun- drede of thousands of dollars. Nearly Passed, Danger from rabies is now nearly past. In February last there were no fewer than seventy-four premises and twelve, counties of western Ontario under quarantine for rabies. To -day, in dog -days season, there are only five premises under quarantine, with only three counties, Perth, Middlesex and Welland, affected. As soon as the period of incubation for the disease, which varies from twenty days to three months, is passed, and provided that no further cases are reported, the authorities will feel free to rescind the present regulations requiring the muzzling of all dogs in the proscribed district. There are a thousand dogs less now than six months ago. One hundred persons were obliged to take the Pasteur treatment. There were 481 cases reported, but only one per- son died. DANGEROUS DANDRUFF. Will Make Canada A Baldheaded Nation If Not Checked, M. Pasteur, the great French Phy- sician of Paris, once said :—"I believe we shall some day rid the world of all diseases caused by germs." Dandruff is caused by germs, a fact accepted by all physicians. Dandruff is the root of all hair evils. If it were not for the little destructive germs working with a persistency wdrthy of a better cause there would be no baldness, Parisian Sage will kill the dandruff germs and remove dandruff in two weeks or money back. W. J. McKibbon guarantees it. It will stop itching scalp, falling hair and make the hair grow thick and abun- dant. It puts life and lustre into the hair and prevents it from turning gray. It is the hair dressing par excel- lence, daintily perfumed and free from grease stickiness. It is the favorite with women of taste and culture, who know the social value of facinating hair.

Many Uses For the Motorcar es an Ad, Junot to Farm Work. The automobile is rapidly beeoming the most useful and popular farm hand that car. be employed by the en- terprieiug agriculturist. Its variety of uses Is great. A man who has a large farm to look after finds that he can get around much more swiftly and comfortably in an auto runabout than by horse, buggy or Shanks' mare. Some farmers use the auto in peddling chickens about town, while others fire up their motorcars early in the morning and speed away to town and deliver milk from door to door. For hauling light produce to market the automobile is unexcelled. When the children have a considerable distanee to go to reach the country schoolhouse • 1h.an vs aa.iu .:;..\..k2Si THDDLINQ (0IICHENS IN AUTO, they are happy if "pop" or the hired man can crank up the auto and speed them on their way. Charles P. Cushing, a writer In Les- lie's Weekly, has some interesting things to say about the use of the automobile ou farms—for instance: David Rankin, owner of a system of farms comprising 25,040 acres near Tarkio, 11Io., has some philosophy on this subject. IIe likes to feel the pull of rains and sticks to the old fashion- ed buggy himself, but he gives his foremen automobiles. This is simply part of his business policy; "Get the best and latest farming implements. They are the cheapest in the end." To say, as writers for certain auto- mobile journals- do, that the farmers are hostile to automobiles is rank nonsense. The greatest difference of opinion on motorcars may be found among the farmers in the same state or even in the same county. As corre- spondent for the Kansas City Star I toured Missouri with Governor Joseph W. Folk when he was campaigning for the senatorship iu the fall of 1908. In the more progressive towns the farm- ers had their motorcars waiting at the hitching posts around the courthouse square as evidence of the progressive spirit and the prosperity of the com- munity more patent than fat sheep or bulging corncribs. In Kansas hundreds of farmers have bought automobiles. That is not a newspaper "feature story" for the de- lectation of the gullible and the amuse- ment of editorial satirists. It is plain fact. Do not jump to the conclusion from this, however, that many farmers have bought blindly. The farmer's famil- iarity with tools and farm machinery and gasoline ,engines is a far better preparation for intelligent selection of a car nud intelligent care of it after- ward than the ordinary city man's su- porficinl knowledge gained from cata- logues and gossip or from, watching a thousand "makes" whir past him ou 'the streets. At a motorcar show in Kansas City there was an example of this point. Isane Page of Dickinson county, Kan., had just trached his runabout for a touring car. The deal ems finished as quickly and as calmly as the purchase of a washing machine. Mr. Page's manner was that of a city business U]' TO DATE AIIT0 IIIILRKI&N, man, though he wore a black felt cheese box hat with a huge brim, a white hickory shirt without a necktie, and his suit was the, plainest of "store clothes." "Don't get it .into your head that I'm old. I'm only fifty-seven," he learned when I introduced myself ns a reporter. "And don't think that there's anything unusual in a farmer from Dickinson county, Kau., buying a new motZ,car, i always say we older people can't afford to get into ruts. Things change, .and we've got to keep up. Thr are a dozen other farmers in my neighborhood who own ears. We peed 'em. Xow, I live eight miles out of Abilene.

But life's too sh'o'rt for strife, The law says hens must' stay at home and scratch iu their own patch and their owners must see that they do so, and he who will not obey the law, but allows his haus to destroy hie neighbor's bower beds and garden and lets his dogs run on their lawns and porches, should be notified by the cops to quit or git. But that cat—. The . Audubon society wants the 3,000,000 cats in. the United States to be killed because they catch birds. But they should count the birds on their hats, for it's woman that kills them and not pussy cats. Some poultrymen say, "Kill the cats; they kill chicks." Yes; poor starved cats get 'em once in awhile. Well fed cats don't. There's poor old Tabby and her kit- tens. Her owner doesn't feed her. she catches a few rats and mice and then her babies go to starving. '► She takes a chick, and some big hulk of a stingy man shoots her or sets poison and she dies a lingering death among her starving kittens. The preachers discourse on "man's. inhumanity to flan," How about man's brutality to brutes or cruelty to cats? FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. My friend, if you did get licked at the show there are others, and all men should be brothers. To bold a grudge at a man who won a ribbon blue is to let the devil make a fool of you. Now that chickens have more range and pick up a good bit in a day you should examine their crops at night, for sometimes they don't need the evening feed you throw down to them. Five hundred dollars was paid for the turkey gobbler that won first at New York, Baltimore and Hagers- town, Md. It is the largest turkey in the United States, weighs fifty-two pounds and ,now belongs to 131. H. Burns, Orient, S. D. During the winter when egg prices at York, Pa., remained way up at a certain market it was discovered that a nearby storekeeper was regulating the price of eggs. Each market day he simply notified the farmers they should hold their eggs at a certain fig- ure igure and, if not sold out at that price, he would take all the eggs unsold at a certain price. Oh, what hogs 4n the hen's nest! Pity Ponce de teen didn't hunt the spring of perpetual youth in these days. By going down into his jeans he could have got the tip from the cold storage experts who have dis- covered the secret of eternal youth for eggs. A Philadelphia paper declares that any live boy who is smart enough to Lace his own shoes can succeed in the poultry business. Don't forget when you read this that Philadelphia editors drink Schuylkill water. Chopped dandelious are claimed to make dandy turkeys. A woman ex- pert has a bed of them especially for her turkey poults and chops them with breadcrnmbs and hard boiled eggs one day and uses onion tops for green the next. The dandelion keeps their blood pure and the onions kill intes- tinal worms. When old hens' rose to 18 cents at Chicago it was claimed they eclipsed the civil war price. But the old sol- diers tell us all poultry flew higher when foraging parties were after them. The American farmer's wife has the reputation of serving the best square meal on earth. May she always have plenty and to spare, but she should beware to pile up her little turkeys' plates as she does those of her guests. Thousands of turkeys die of overfeed- ing. Young Legborns get wing feathers so quickly that their Wings grow at the expense of their bodies and become a drag. They should be cut back like plants. - A good compressed air sprayer -is a necessity. Spray the Hennery with lime, spray the roosts with coal oil, spray the trees for pests and spray roosting fowls wiftl carbolic fumes when roup and cholera germs are around.

Smallpox At Brantford. The local smallpox situation has reached such proportions that a gen- eral vaccination will be ordered. at Brantford. Dr. Bryce, the Dominion health officer, consulted with local authorities to -day and strongly urged this move. Action will be taken at a special meeting of the Board of Health. No children will be admitted to schools in the fall without being vaccinated. There are now 50 cases of the disease there, besides many others, which it is feared have not been reported. The isolation hospital is crowded. Interesting Facts. The weight of the circulating blood is 29 pounds. The average weight of an adult is 150 pounds 6 ounces. The brain of a man exceeds twice that of any animal. A man breathes about 20 times a minute, or 1,200 times an hour. The average weight of the brain of a man It 3i pounds; of a woman, 2 pounds '11 ounces. Five hundred and forty pounds of one hogshead and one and a quarter pints of blood pass through the heart in one hour. The average height of an Eng- lish man is 5 feet 9 inches ; of a French man 5 feet 4 inches ; of a Belgian 5 feet tie inches. The heart sends near- ly 10 pounds of blood throtigh the veins and arteries each beat, and makes four beats while we breathe once. One hundred and seventy-five million cells are in the lungs, which would cover a surface thirty times greater than the human body. The average of the pulse in infancy is 120 per minute; in manhood 80; at sixty years 60. The pulse of females is more rapid than that of males. After La Grippe "I had suffered several weeks with L'aGrippe. Had pains in my head and eyes. It felt as though there was a heavy weight on the top of my head, until it seemed that my brain would burst. I was so nervous that I could not rest or sleep. When I dozed off I would awake with a sudden jerking of mny whole body. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart i Remedy and Nerve and Liver Pills cured me. A number of friends have since realized the sante benefits." MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS, Seabrook, N. II.
