ELLIOTT, PUBLISHER AND PROPIETOR. THURSDAY FEBRUARY 29. 1912. IMMIGRATION INTO UNITED STATES FALLING OFF. of need any corn with hay when silage is furnished. It is especially good for growing colts and mules, as well as for pigs and hogs. With the silo the value of the corn crop is nearly doubled, as the entire corn plant is used. This means a great saving in the cost of the running expenses of a dairy, and hence an increase in the net profits. It is now the time of year that the dairyman or farmer is planning his crops on the farm so as to meet the demands to fill his silo next fall. As to the size of the silo the farmer should build depends largely upon the amount of stock to be fed. So, farmer, get busy thinking upon these questions. Immigration into the United States is decreasing. Last year 600,000 ar- rived at United States ports, against 904,108 for the preceeding year. This is a decline of 33 1-3 per cent. Many are returning to Europe, especially Italians and Greeks. According to a Government report, more Greeks and Italians returned to their native land last year than arrived. One hundred and sixty-seven thousand came in and 173,000 returned. This is the third time in seven years that the ebb has been greater than the flow - 1904, 1908 and 1911. The movement of immigration usual- ly indicates the business conditions of the country. When business is good return trips are few. The movement is all one way, that is, eastward. But as soon as business gets dull the move- ment is reversed. The figures for 1911 are necessarily approximate, as there are still some few steamers to arrive and sail, but the number is not sufficient materially to change the totals. The difference between immigration and emigration during this generation is 6,410,729, showing clearly that the United States is not receiving a mil- lion immigrants a year, by no means. In fact only in the years 1906 and 1907 did a million immigrants come but in 1906 322,000 left United States ports, and 527,010 in the following year, so that the "net" is materially below the million in each year. NEW SYSTEM ADOPTED. A new system of collecting tickets and fares is now being successfully op- erated on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, which is not only business- like but convenient forthe passengers. The train conductor has now nothing at all to do with the handling of tickets or cash. His business, as in the case of a ship's captain, is purely to man- age his train and all the officials who operate it. His authority is absolute. The tickets and fares are all collected by an official corresponding to the purs- er of the Mercantile Marine, who is known as the "train agent," and whose whole duty is to look after the fares. The Editor of the "Nankleek Hill Re- view" has this to say of the G. T. P. train agent: "He is an official that was new to me, and I was particularly interested in him. I was more particularly interested in him because of his extreme politeness to, and con- sideration for, his passengers. In the West to -day, the "train agent steps up to you and makes a pleasant remark upon the weather, or bids you "the time of day," and concludes with "Your ticket, please. He waits pa- tiently till he gets it and then, invar- iably says "thank you." If you are going far on the train he will tell you about the hour you will get to your journey's end. If your trip is short he will tell you two, three, or four sta- tions, as the case may be, and hand you a hat check. I watched the first "train agent" I travelled with, and he treated every passenger in the car in the same court- eous manner. It was pleasing to see it, and I tell you it pleases the travel- lers a mighty sight better than the old time poke in the ribs. Later I travelled on a local train be- tween Watrous and Winnipeg and I de- termined to watch if all "train agents" on the G. T. P. were as 'polite as the first one I saw. I was not doomed to disappointment. He was even more courteous and considerate of every pas- senger. SILAGE FOR THE DAIRY COW. oN cyQ Zoo Tomatoes and Beets for Canning. A correspondent of Rural New York- er, writing on the growing of tomatoes and beets for canning says: "Tomato plants are set in early June four feet apart each way. A marker similar to a corn row marker is used in marking out the ground. A hoe or spade is used in setting the plants, They can be set with a spade by driving the The great advantage of the silo in dairying is in providing practically green and succulent feed for the cows when they can secure no green feed in the pastures. The cow, to give a large flow of milk, must have a bulky ration and one that is full of rich sub- stances in an easily digestible form. Silage alone will not make a cow give a large and continuous flow of milk, but used in connection with concentra- ted feeds and dry hay it makes these other feeds more palatable and digest- ible than when used alone. All dairymen know that cows do best on good summer pasture. The reason is that the early summer grass is full of rich vegetable juices for making the digestion easy and keeping the system in general in good tone. With silage and good warm stables, summer conditions for the cow can be obtained, and the good flow of milk maintained all through the winter. Si- lage is not only appetizing and eaten with a relish by the cows, but a good milk producer and makes the cream and butter yellow in cold weather, while dry feeding in winter makes white or light-colored butter. Al- though silage is slightly sour, yet when used with other feeds it imparts no objectionable flavors in the milk. The cows may eat all they wish of it with perfeet safety. All who have tried silage as winter feeding to the dairy cows speak of the products in the highest words of praise. Some go so far as to say there is no profit in dairy- - ing without it. Not only is silage becoming very ex- tensively used as dairy feed, but is coming into general use for feeding beef cattle, horses, hogs and other farm animals. It is a most excellent feed for winter use for growing beef animals, and with it the cost of fatten- ing steers is greatly reduced. Horses and mules not working in winter do Had Palpitation of the Neal Weakness and Choking Spells. When the heart begins to beat irregu- larly, palpitate and throb, beats fast for a time, then so slow as to seem almost to stop, it causes great anxiety and alarm. When the heart does this many people are kept in a state of morbid fear of death, and become weak, worn and miserable. To all such sufferers Milbum's Heart and Nerve Pills will give prompt and permanent relief. Mrs. John J. Downey, New Glasgow, N.S., writes: -"Just a few lines to let you know what your Milburn's Heart nd Nerve Pills have done for me. I was troubled with weakness and palpi- t ition of the heart, would have severe clrl'cing spells, and could scarcely lie t:f.vn at all. I tried many remedies, h'it got none to answer my ease like your Pills. I can recommend them highly to all having heart or nerve troubles." Price 50 cents per box, or 3 boxes for $1.25.

(Cale Young Rice, in Lippincotts mag- azine) The hounds of the sea are baying On the trail, o'er the new moon's tide. Their lips are afoam and swaying, And the winds behind them ride. The quarry is up before them, A ship with her horde of men, And a frenzy rushes o'er them, They bite her again and again. spade into the ground, tipping it over The Winter has left them riven, so that the plant can be dropped behind And the winds have sped them hard, But away from her bows they are driven, She scattess them undebarred. For her beams are not wrought of cedar That crushed in their teeth of yore, But of steel; and strong fires feed her And drive her towards the shore. it, and then pulling the spade out, thus allowing the dirt to fall back around the plant. The earth around the' plant should be well packed. After the plants are set a one-horse cultivator should be run through them to stir up the ground which has been packed down in setting. After this they should be cultivated every week, or as often as it is thought necessary to hold the moisture and keep the weeds down un- til the vines get so large that one can- not get through without injuring them. Beets are something like onions in re- spect to care. They must be weeded at just the right time or they will not amount to anything. The seed is sown with a hand drill or with grain drill in rows about 28 inches apart. The seed is sown quite thick, about 20 pounds being used per acre. The beets are not thinned when small, but allowed to grow until some of the beets are 1i to two inches in diameter, when these are pulled out, topped and taken to the factory. This process is repeated from time to time. The beets are cultivated with horses, using one-horse or sulky cultivator. Nature's Dentistry. If one }were to reason wholly from appearances, the prehistoric mastodon must have had an accomplished dentist with modern appliances. This is the conclusion one might reach after read- ing a story told by a South American miner, who himself found the curious deposit. This miner, searching for gold along the coast, found in an earth bank a fossil which proved to be a part of a mastodon's lower jaw, with two teeth in place. The bone was in such a decayed condition that the finder was about to throw it away, when his eye fell on a crack in the top and side of one of the teeth. The cavity thus formed was filled with a foreign sub- stance, to which the miner applied his knife, and found, to his astonishment, that it was pure gold. The explana- tion of the curious discovery is probab- ly as follows: The gold, contained in broken down quartz, was washed into the cavity by the action of water, de- posited there, and the fine grains united to form a nugget. The old bone simp- ly happened to be lying in the track of the silt. Telephone Adds Another Terror to Life. The manager of a large manufactur- ing plant in Paterson, N. J., recently had a novel experience which impress- ed him as a striking illustration of the speed with which sound travels over a telephone wire as compared with which it travels through the atmosphere. He was standing at the telephone in his residence, which is about two miles from his factory, speaking with the superintendent of the works, when the whistle of the factory blew for 1 o'clock. The sound came to him very distinctly over the wire, lasting about five seconds, then ceased, and a few seconds later the same sound of the 'whistle blowing came to him through an open window near which he was standing, this time coming via the slower route, the sound waves of the atmosphere. He thus actually heard the same sound twice, and has not yet re- covered from the novelty of the exper- ience. -Telephone Review. Potatoes as a Crop. With a scarcity of potatoes, and the price per bushel equal to that of wheat, the following may be of interest. It comes from a correspondent to the Weekly Sun: --"The farmer who has a couple of acres of good potatoes can always find a market for the crop grown and were they more generally grown they could be shipped in car lots from nearby stations, shipping one-half in the fall, and the rest in the spring. This would bring in ready money at a time when it is most needed. The growing of potatoes, like every other crop, needs close and regular attention. Every operation must be timely and properly done; neglect in one point may ruin the whole crop, and the rest of labor is all lost. There is no question but that potatoes are a profitable crop. Every few years the prise is high and rarely falls below a paying basis. One season we sold $1,000 worth off seven acres, and had about one-third the crop -small ones -for stock feed besides. We have repeatedly sold $50 worth per acre. I would advise all fatmers to grow at least a couple of acres each year along with the rest of their roots. The crop will pay all expenses of culti- vation and harvesting the field and they will have the buck of their stock feed free of cost." HOW TO BE WEATHER SHARP. Yea, man is becoming master, 0 sea; and in vain thy pack Shall hunt one da, for disaster And ruin upon his track; The master of thee and thy hunters - For the sky, too, does he dare - Supreme o'er all he encounters In the earth, the sea, and the air.

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 be- came helpless. Doctors failed me, but after using ten boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I resumed work, and now feel better than I did for 2+1 years." The following formula of weather signs was adopted by the Farmers' Club of the American Institute some years ago, and it has been found to give satisfaction: - 1. When the temperature falls sud- denly there is a storm forming south of you. 2. When the temperature rises sud- denly there is a storm forming north of you. 3. The wind always blows from a region of fair weather toward a point where a "storm is forming. 4. Cirrus clouds always move from a region where a storm is in progress to one of fair weather. 5. Cumulus clouds always come from a region where a storm is form- ing. 6. When cirrus clouds are moving rapidly from the north or north-east, no matter how cold it is, there will be rain within 24 hours. 7. When cirrus clouds are moving rapidly from south or south or south- east there will be a hail storm on the morrow if it bo in the summer, and if it be in the winter there will be snow. 8. The wind always blows about a storm in a circle: when it blows from the north, the heaviest rain iei east of you; if it blows from the south, the heaviest rain is west of you; if it blows from the east, the heaviest rain is south. 9. The wind never blows, even mod- erately, unless rain or snow is falling within a radius of 1,000 miles. 10. Whenever heavy white frost oc- curs a storm' is forming within 1,000 miles north-west of you. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA TEN TIPS FOR MEN IN DANGER. 1. A moderate love of fine raiment is normal in the youth of both sexes; therefore, beware of the girl that wears too many gew-gaws, or too few. The latter may turn into a slattern -the for- mer into a flirt. 2. Don't mistake willfulness for character. A strong character mani- fests itself in poise, cheerfulness and sensibility -not in flashes of temper. 3. Don't mistake restlessness for energy, either mental or physical. It is simply the clatter of the exhaust when the wheel is out of water. - PUBLIC LIBRARY -Library and free reading room in the Town Hall, will be open every afternoon fr am2 to 5:30 o'clock, and every evening from 7 to 9:30 o'clock.

Look out for the girl that is too enthusiastic over babies in your pres- ence. She doesn't mean it. If she did, she wouldn't say anything about it. 5. Look out for the girl that is all tendrils. The clinging vine becomes mighty tedious along about forty. 6. Look out for the girl that is anxious to let you know she is prepar- ed to overlook your faults. This means that, for her, the market is dull. 7. Don't mistake animal spirits for a fine constitution. The neurotic girl is an invalid at forty. 8. Don't mistake a sense of ridicule for a sense of humor. Humor, in a woman, as in a man, enables her to see things as they are. The habit of ridicule indicates a faulty mental, as well as spiritual, vision. This type of woman is not worth supporting. O. Look out for the girl who has no interest in life, except you. After a while you'll pall, and then she'll have no interest at all, and a bored woman is no joke to keep house with. 10. Last, but not least, beware of the nagger. Her forehead is lined at eighteen, and there are fine marks about the corners of her mouth. Her home will be plain hell, and her chil dren torments.

Text of the Lesson, Mark i, 14-21. Memory Verses, 16, 17 -Golden Text, Matt. ix, 37, 38 -Commentary Pre- pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. According to the harmony of the gos- pels, It would seem that Jesus returned i to where John was preaching, and as he cried on two different days, "Be- hold the Lamb of God!" two of John's disciples, Andrew and probably John, the brother of James. followed Jesus and spent some time with Him one day, after which Andrew found his brother, Simon, and brought him to ,lesus, and the inference is that John brought his brother James. Then Jesus went into Galilee to Bethsaida, the t•ity of Andrew and Peter, and called Philip to follow Him. After this Philip brought Nnthnnael, and thus t•, o see the first six disciples ac- cording to John 1, 29-51. They seem to have received several calls before they left all to follow Him fully. The lesson today indicates a call to An- drew and Peter as they were casting a net Into the sea, and to James and .Iohn as they Were in the ship with their father mending their nets. The account of this incident is found in Matt. iv. j; 22, as well as in our lesson verses from :Hark, The incident of Luke v, 1-11, seems to have been wholly different and at a different tithe. At that time Ile used Simon's boat as n pulpit and then tilled both his boat and that of his partners, .T•nmes and John. with fishes. We must ever distinguish between Chris- tians and disciples. A Christian is one who truly receives Jesus Christ as his Saviour and thus becomes a child of Cod. justified freely by His grace (John i. 12: Rom. ill, 24; v. 1). There are no degrees in salvation, for all who are in Christ are equally saved by His precious blood. He obtained eternal redemption for alt, and all who receive the gift of God, which Is eter- nal life. have it without money or works of any kind on their part. Dis- cipleship follows, and as it is so costly to the believer few are willing to pay the price; hence the whole hearted dis- ciples are comparatively few, and there are many degrees in discipleship and many calls to obtain the few. See Luke xiv, 20, 27, 33; Matt. x, 37, 38; xv!, 24. Having saved us fully, freely and forever. Ile desires ns to be ever, only, all for himself, His own special property, that I3e may live His life in us and reveal himself through us to the world (Ps. iv. 3; Tit. ii, 14, R. V.; II Thess. iv, 10, 11). The ministry of John the Baptist seems to have been very brief, and. having been imprison- ed because hated by a wicked woman, he was in due time beheaded, and the Lord .lesus suffered it to be so, al- though Iie said that no greater was ever born of woman (Matt. xl, 11). We cannot understand, but we must have unbounded confidence in God. After John was put in prison Jesus began to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God, urging men to repent and believe the gospel (verses 14, 15). .Both John and Jesus and also the twelve preached that the kingdom was at hand. the kingdom plainly foretold by all the prophets, a kingdom of peace and righteousness under a right- eous king, before whom all kings will fall down and whom all nations will serve. Then shall the nations learn war no more, and from a righteous Is- rael at the center,' with Jerusalem as the throne of the Lord, the earth will soon be filled with the glory of the Lord (Isa. xxxii, 1, 17; 11, 4; Jer. 111, 17; Ps. ixxti, 11).. Truly, it is worth while to follow such a leader through all trials to such a kingdom and to walk worthy of it and Him (Matt. xvi, 27; I Thess. i1, 12; I Pet. v, 10). We may so know Him as to be blind and deaf to all but I-Iis face and His voice, and thus He will make us fishers of men to Complete His elect church during this age of the postponement of the kingdom, because they said, "We have no king but Caesar," "We will not have this man to reign over us" In the latter part of our lesson we find Him in the synagogue in Caper- naum on the Sabbath day and so teaching that all were astonished at Iits doctrine, for He taught with au- thority. The words were not His, but His Father's, for He said only what the Father told Him to say (John xi(, 40; xiv, 10; vxtt, 8). Power belongeth unto God, and where the word of a king is there is power (Ps, Ixti, 12 (Eccl. viii, 4). On the night of His ar- rest His two words "I am" sent the Roman soldiers to the ground. for it was the same voice which said, "Let there be light" (Gen. 1. 3). A demon possessed man was in the synagogue. and the evil spirit knew Him and call- ed Him Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy One of God (verse 24), for the demons believe and tremble (Jas. 11. 19i. It is not believing about Jesus Christ that saves, else all demons .might be saved, but it is submission to Him as God and the reception of Ulm as the Saviour of sinners. See how the demons confess what many Intelligent religious people today refuse to be. here -that .lesus Is God. They also be- lieve in a place of torment into which Ile will cast them at the appointed time (Matt, rill, 291. This, ton. is ridi- culed by many, but as truly as thio demon obeyed the voice of Jesus and came out of the man so will all peo- ple obey Him to whom Ile will say.
