The Wingham Advance, 1911-11-02, Page 4THE WINGHAM ADVJ NCIE TUURsDAY, NOVEMBR$ 2, II9II You will be proud of the bread you'll make with PURITY FLOUR FTER seeing a batch of big, golden -crusted, snowy - white loaves, that you have baked from PURITY FLOUR, you will, indeed, be proud of your cooking -ability — and proud of your wisdom in deciding to pay the little extra it costs to procure such high-class flour. You will admit, too, that we are justified in the pride we take in milling this superb flour• "More bread and better bread" PURITY FLOUR is milled exclusively from the best West- ern hard wheat the world's finest. More than that, PURITY FLOUR consists entirely of the high-grade portions of the wheat. The low - grade portions are separated and excluded during the PURITY process of milling. Such hi 1i. class flour, of course, expands more in the baking. It makes "more. bread and better bread." It makes lighter, flakier pastry, too, if you just take the pre- caution to add more shortening. On account of its unusual strength PURITY )LOUR, for best results, requires more shortening than ordinary flour. Progressive dealers, everywhere, sell PURITY FLOUR and take pride in recommending it. Add PURITY FLOUR to your grocery list right now. 106 PURITY I Sold by Wm. Bone, King Bros., 3. F.

We are told that it cleanses the palate and furred tongue, and a gargle of salt and water is often efficacious. i A pinch of salt on the tongue, fol- lowed ten 'ininutes afterward by a drink of cold water, often cures a sick headache. It hardens gums, makes teeth white and sweetens the breath, Out flowers may be kept fresh by adding salt to the water. Weak ankles should be rubbed with a solution of salt, water and alcohol. Bad colds, hay fever, and kindred otfections may be much relieved by using fine salt like snuff. Dyspepsia, heartburn and indigestion are relieved by a cup of hot water in which a small spoonful of salt has been melted. Salt and water will sometimes revive an unconcsious person when hurt, if brandy or other remedies are not' at hand. Hemorrhage from tooth pull- ing is stopped by filling the mouth with salt and water. Weak and tired eyesare refreshed by bathing with warm water and salt. Many public speakers and singers use a wash of salt and water before and after using the voice, as it strengthens the organs of the throat. Salt rubbed into the scalp or occasionally added to the water in washing prevents the hair falling out. Feathers uncurled by damp weather are quickly dried by shaking over a fire in which salt has been thrown. Salt should always be eaten with nuts, and a desert fruit salt shoud be specially made. Housing for Turkeys. Turkeys are the only birds' that de- generate by domestication, and this is chiefly due to the restraint which is put upon them, and the close con- finement in which they are sometimes kept at night when domesticated. From this the natural inference to be drawn is that the more liberty they have, and the nearer they are allowed to approach the wild state, the hardier they will be. If while young, turkeys are not confined in a close house, they gradually become inured to cold, and grow into stranger larger and more vigorous birds than they otherwise would. Turkeys require roomy, well -venti- lated houses for roosting, and never lo well roosting with other poultry, especially if overcrowded. A lf.rge shed, open on one side, is more otlit- .able than one closed on all stiles. in a wild state turkeys . are extremely hardy, and as they are provided by nature with a very tight -fitting coat of feathers, rain or cold has very 1 little effect on them.

Irrigating Western Lands. - The biggest irrigation project on the continent Is that half completed in Alberta, It includes three great stretches of land termed the western central and eastern blocks. In the western are 1,030 acres to be reclaim- ed ; in the central are about a mil- lion, and in the eastern are 1,150,224. The western section is the nearest completed, and it alone forms a . pro- ject as large as any in the United States, and -the largest yet attempted in Canada. Already there have been Completed seventeen miles of main canal, 254 miles of secondary canals, and one thousand three hundred and twenty-nine miles of distributing ditches. Now nearing a completion a dam on the Bow river is 7,000 feet long, 350 feet wide at the base, and 45 feet high, From this dam canals will lead out over 500,000 acres of land, Eight million dollars has been ap- propriated by' the company •to start the work on the eastern block, and preliminary surveys have been made for the central block. In five years or so a tract 30 miles wide and 150 miles long between Calgary and Moose Jaw will be irrigated and tens of thousands of farms will take the place of the wild prairies of today.

Writing on this question, the editor of the Saturday Night says :—It is expected that at the next session of the Legislature of the Province of Ontario the question of eventually abolishing the present system of taxation will be discussed, the idea being to substitute something more just and equitable. That we should any longer tolerate the taxation of improvements is so absurd that it seems scarcely necessary to argue in favor of taxing ground values instead. As we understand the plan as pro- posed by the Tax Reform Association, there is no idea of immediate radical change from one system' to the other. It would on the other hand, be gradual. That is to say, the first year it might be possible to deduct from the assessed value of, improvements, say, twenty-five per cent. and add the same amount to the land. The second or third year twenty-five per cent. more might be taken for improve- ments and placed upon land, and so on little by little, until the old system is entirely obliterated. Unquestionably such a change outlined by the Tax Reform Association will meet with the hearty approval of the majority of tax -payers, once they fully 'under- stand that it is not a system of high- way robbery, but on the other hand, an equitable and just method of collecting the taxes necessary to meet the bills. The immediate effect of abolishing the tax improvements would be a building boom. The man who squats on a bit of ground wait- ing the time that his neighbors will get busy and make it more valuable for him will find, under the land tax system, that he had better sell or improve himself" Hedwill do one or the/other, rest assured ; while, on the other hand, the man who would either build or improve and extend his present structures will not hesi- tate, for he would not fear the piling on of taxes which he now ex- periences.

It fur* ;Ashes exactiy what is required to maintain the bovine system in perfect normal health in winter, writes a cor- respondent of the 13reeder's Gazette. Soft, succulent feed is craved by every member of the herd at all seasons of the year. The fresh green grass gath- ered at pasture in summer makes a ration perfectly suited to cattle and hard to imitate. Cattle thrive on grass. Their coats, health, vigor and breeding powers all reveal its magic touch. It is nature's feed, and -the nat- ural selection of centuries in wild free- dom and in farmers' pastures has per- fectly adapted .cattle to make good use of grass. The longer the grazing sea- son the better the cattle thrive. Now the dreaded gap between fall and. spring pasturing has been successfully spanned In this country by the silo. Silage is more valuable for thelbreed- ing herd than for fattening steers, as cattle on a heavy feed of grain have, Tess need of -the laxative effect and the bulk supplied by silage. For cows, bulls and young glowing cattle the soothing tonic effects of the silage counteract the tendency of continuous dry feeding to depress the body's ac- tivities. The silage "cools the system," Wherever Herefords aro known they are conceded to be the peer of alt breeds -as grazers, but I am con- vinced by experience that they are equally profitable as feed lot cattle in the corn belt. says an Illinois Hereford raiser, As the area of grass 'is sure to be increased as agriculture develops and as we must improve the carrying capacity of our pastures, there will always be plenty of room for Herefords as the most efficient machines with which to convert grass Into beef. They will also continuo In popular favor with corn belt feeders who seek early maturing, easy fatten- ing, high quality cattle. The pure bred Ilereford cow herewith illus- trated was champion at a recent English show. as herdsmen say. The steer on a full feed of corn does not live long enough to suffer from the bad effects of his unnatural diet. ' While the annual period of summer grazing returns the breeding herd to normal vigor and functions after a winter on dry roughage. it is far bet- ter to maintain this -desired condition uninterruptedly throughout the year. Then the herd goes without shock or setback in the fall from the pasture to the troughs of silage, and at pasturing time the cattle have a month's start ahead of the dry fed herd that must become accustomed to an entire change of feed. In' order to learn of the advantage which the succulent cornstalk has over the dry one, the Missouri experiment station . conducted a test in which husked corn fodder or stover was fed in opposition to corn put in the silo after the ears bad been removed. This was fed to yearling steers without grain, and it was found that those get- ting the dry fodder required 31.3 pounds. of it daily per head and left 41 per cent of it uneaten, consisting of the coarse stalks. Each of the other steers ate 47.4 pounds daily of the si- lage wit bon! cars and wasted less than :, per cent of it. The steers getting dry feed welts feel more dry matter per day than the others, but they lost .13 of a pound n day, while the others gained .53 of a pound. The dry fed steers were scrawny and hidebound in the spring, lout the others had made a perceptible growth and Were ready to go right on with it. Hoe Wallow. The up to date hog yard has a feed - Ing floor. the advantages of which are many. Such hog yard should have a sanitary wallow. Here are the direc- tions for building: One of cement rally le made by digging a hole fifteen Inches deep and ten feet square. In the bottom pack sit inches of coarse gravel or cinders and on this lay three inches of coarse concrete. Smooth oft' the surface and raise the. sides six inches higher. This makes n shallow basin, which will make a good sani- tary wallow, and a barrel of water a day will be sufficient to keep it going. 11' yon have running water which can be pilled Into the basin, so much the better. Care ofDry Cows. It Is poor voiley_ to turn cows out to rough it as soon as they are turned dry, for a month or two In winter or early spring. This is the time they de- mand a good and rcgulitr ration. A cow is not going to do her best at the pail when calving time finds her run down in condition. False Farm Econoniy. Bare land itnstoeked and unwvorked is unproductive. harmers should re- member this fact and they will be less likely to destroy their chances of profit by unwise economy in farm labor. The Cow'C Udder. A finely shaped udder is one of the most attractive points about a good dairy cow. 11 invariably attracts the attention of the prospective purehasor or the admiring dairyman.
