THE BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.
[Farmers' Advocate.)
Without gloating over the misfor-
tunes of others, it is well and proper
for us to take note of the natural ad-
vantages with which our own section
of the world is blessed. These advan-
tages are both positive and negative.
Among the negative ones are compar-
ative freedom from such disasters as
earthquake, volcanic eruptions, tidal
waves, cyclones, and widespread floods
like those which have recently devas-
tated the Mississippi Valley on such an
immense scale for so many weeks that
the newspaper editors grew tired of
featuring the stories. Compared to
this colossal deluge, inundating farm
lands and townsites by the thousands
of square miles, the spring freshets on
our own rivers, troublesome enough as
they seem to us, are puny and insigni-
ficant. Saying nothing about the un-
counted loss of life to human beings
and stock, the delay in cropping, and
the frightful loss of property in gener-
al; is the damage to the levees, which
have to be constructed on such a col-
ossal scale that their cost and the need
for federal assistance in connection
with them, was spoken of by one editor
in the same breath with the cost of the
Panama Canal. In an issue last April,
a paper in Memphis, Tennessee, told
of nearly seventeen thousand people
being cared for in the territory of
which that city is the centre. A few
days later it stated that, • from the bluff
of St. Louis to the Gulf of Mexico, at
least 150,000 people were homeless, and
the Government was furnishing rations
to 80,000, adding that, if the death roll
'Were completed, it would show that
more people had perished in the Missis-
sippi Valley this year by drowning and
exposure than were lost with the Titan-
ic. Against such appalling disaster we
stand aghast, utterly incapable of vis-
ualizing the situation.
But the knowledge of it should make
us grateful for the climate and geo-
graphy of Eastern Canada, than which,
we verily believe, a more favored reg-
ion isnot out of doors. Here we have
a beautiful -lying country, well watered,
but seldom flooded to any very disas-
trous extent. Soil is fertile, and adap-
ted td a considerable variety of the
world's most valuable crops, especially
the cereals and legumes, vegetables
and fruits. Climate is fairly depend-
able, and, if somewhat extreme, offers
the much -to -be -prized advantage of
annual variety, a feature often missed
by Canadians emigrating to certain
sections of such States as California,
where the seasons, though at first at-
tractive to winter visitors. become
monotonously similar month after
month.
A smiling land we have, a salubrious
and a safe one, which only needs more
vigorous advertising to set its advant-
ages in their true light against those of
less -favored regions elsewhere, to which
thousands of our citizens have been
steadily attracted by persistent boost-
ing and a loud noise. Here is the Prom-
ised Land right at home, the finest
Garden of Eden on the planet's crust.
If you know a good thing when you see
it, stay here and tell your neighbors
why.
Where it can be obtained, stable
manure is usually the most economical
and satisfactory form in which to apply
nitrogen in market gardening, although
cottonseed or cottonseed meal, dried
blood, tankage, sodium nitrate, and
ammonia sulphate are also used with
profit at times.
GAVE HP ALL ROPES
or EVER GETTING WELL
Mr. Jacob E. Herr, 111 Grange St.,
Stratford, Ont., writes "Ten years ago
I suffered with a very peculiar disease.
1 would go to bed feeling as well as could
be, and after sleeping for five hours I
would wake with a severe pain in my
back, then moving into my side and
breast. The pain was so terrible I
could not lie in my bed, and usually had
to sit until morning with a pillow propped
u;p behind my back. With all my pain
1 would go to work, and after working tip
tc, about 10o'clock the pain would leave
n:. entirely. The same thing would hap -
pea the next night, and every night for
d r^
too Vaa It
tried four different doctors,
t
belt none of them did me anycod.
I
tried a great many patent medicines, but
all of no -avail. I gave up all hopes of
e . ' r getting well. A irked persuaded ane
to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills.
I
I „ fou htn
!, ur boxes, ,
and after'
using the
fiat one
I felt a change for the better,
and after using three boxes I could sleep
all night. The pains were gone, and I
wv.ev completely cured.
lkfilburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are
15() cense per box, or 3 boxes kr $1.25, at
all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt
of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited,
Toronto, Ont.
WHY DO GIRLS LEAVE THE FARM.
The following editorial from Canadian
Home Journal, which is probably in
closer touch than any other magazine
with the majority of Canadian women,
gives one potent reason for this con-
stant movement of our country girls to
the city.
"We wonder when our farmers will
open their eyes to the injustice which
they have so often shown to their
daughters. Again and again we read
paragraphs deploring the fact that so
many girls are forsaking the farm for
work in the city. What is the reason?
In the majority of cases, we believe
that it lies, not in youthful unrest, not
in a longing for city amusements, but
in a protest against the fraternal poli-
cy which denies a proper allowance to
the daughters of the household. It is
all very well to say that our great-
grandmothers did a great deal more
work than their decendents of to -day
and that the farmer's daughters of
several generations ago was thankful
for a roof over her head and the simp-
lest gowns. Our great grandfathers,
also, worked harder than the modern
farmer, who would not dream of using
antiquated implements of sixty years
ago.
The son of the farm is usually treat-
ed with much more consideration than
the danghter, in the way of money.
The old distrust of woman's business
capacity dies hard. The way to re-
move feminine ignorance is not to re-
fuse toive
g woman an opportunity to
learn the ways of the business world.
If a father would take his daughter in-
to his confidence in business matters
and encourage her to have her own
bank account, with a view to invest-
ment, there would be fewer mistakes
made by mature women in the manage-
ment of their affairs. A certain widow
who has been most successful in look-
ing after her own business, remarked
to her lawyer: 'I owe a great deal to
my father, who talked to me in my
girlhood about his farm and his invest-
ments, giving me advice which I have
never forgotten. He believed that
every woman should know something
of business affairs and be encouraged
to have her own account.'
It has often been said that we can-
not learn by the advice of others, that
it is necessary to make mistakes of
one's own before wisdom is practically
attained. This is only partly true. We
not hope to escape blunders and their
consequences, but many disasters have
been averted by the remembrance of
wise counsel. If the farmer wishes to
keep his daughter at home—and it is
an infinitely better place for her than a
city office—let him treat her as an in-
dustrial equal, show that he values her
work and give her the benefit of his
hard-won experience.".
It is now well known that not more
than one case of rheumatism in ten re-
quires any internal treatment what-
ever. All that is needed is a free ap-
plication of Chamberlain's Liniment
and massaging the parts at each appli-
cation. Try it and see how quickly it
will relieve the pain and soreness. Sold
by all dealers.
FOR BETTER POULTRY.
Keep the houses clean, the yards swept
or sown in rye.
Catering to the appetite of the bird
often increases the egg yield.
Regularity and liberality are necessary
to secure the most profitable growth.
The eggs should be gathered often
during warm weather. They should be
sorted in color and shape before going
to market, too.
A hen that goes around with her
mouth open is not a comfortable hen;
she is too warm. Provide her with a
place to sit down and cool off.
If a gradual growth is made, the start
being made, the start being limited, all
the details watched and the lesson stud-
ied well, the business is surely started
on a firm foundation. Anything else
makes a risk.
Makes us laugh when the old rooster
finds a worm and cackles over it till he
gets all the hens in the yard around
him and then just gobbles the whole up
himfelf, but isnt that about what lots of
folks do?
Green eut bone has a high nutritive
value, and it is also one of the cheapest
foods there is. It pays to use this when
the weather keeps the fowls from roam-
ing over the fields where they naturally
find their supply of this kind of food.
Exercise is of supreme importance al -
through the winter. Unless this is en -
'breed the hens will become fat and
they will not lay as they should. Scat
ter the feed in the litter and make them
hunt forit. They will i
er,
more
profitable Ie and they will enjoy life bet-
ter.
Don't ever keep the weakly chick for
either a winter layer or to place in the
breeding pen. They will lay fow, if any.
more eggs than will pay their board bill
will fix times out of ten hatch a weak
thick, and they are al gays grabbing et
chances to take cold, croup or gounder
from the least„ offness in their feed. In
short, they are weaklings from start to
finish. I

THE MEN WHO RISE IN LIFE.
From The Windsor Record.
The tragic death of Mr. Charles M.
Hays in the wreck of the Titanic recalls
his rise from an insigniflcent clerkship
to the presidency of ane of the world's
greatest railway companies.
The vice-president and general man-
ager of the Gould lines, a gentleman
named Talmage, wept down among the
young clerk of the passenger depart-
ment to find the right kind of an assist-
ant. Mr. Talmage went from one to
another asking the time. One young
clerk looked up in a preocuppied man-
ner: '
"I beg your pardon, did you speak
to me?"
"I merely asked the time. That was
all," said Mr. Talmage.
The young man looked around three
sides of the room, and finally found the
clock in the,fourth.
"Eleven -thirty," said he, and went
on with his wo1',c.
"Thank you," said Mr. Talmage and
went away. Next morning the clerk
who had to search for the clock was in
the new place at the big man's elbow.
He grew up in association with this big
railway man and ethers and became a
big man himself. His name was Char-
les M. Hays.
A high official of the Lehigh Valley
dropped into Buffalo one day, looking
for a particular position. He had heard
some good reports of a chap named
Hays.
After sizing up the staff the visiting
chief went to the division superintend-
ent and made known his quest.
"You can have any man you want
but Jarvis; I can't spare him." This
was the reply of the Superintendent.
"Well, it happens to be Jarvis I
want," declared the man with execu-
tive authority, and took away the man
whom the superintendent could not
spare. Today Mr. Jarvis—who is a
Canadian, by the way - is one of the
vice-presidents of the Lehigh Valley,
draws a princely salary and is intrust-
ed with the most responsible duties.
One man •won a coveted promotion
in a big manufacturing firm by the en-
ergetic and businesslike way he walked
across the floor, while the head of the
company happened to be in the room.
These are the men who succeeded in
life. They are not necessarily endow-
ed with a superabundance of brains but
they know how to employ their time
to advantage for the best interests of
the firm. They usually possess tact, or
else cultivate it, because that is neces-
sary, but the main requisite is ability
to accomplish a whole lot of real hard
work. The pluggers win nine times
out of ten. Look over the boys with
whom you went to school and you will
realize that this is fact.
A Word of Gratitude.
"In justice to humanity I want to
tell you that I was a great sufferer
from itching piles, and have found Dr.
Chase's Ointment the best treatment
obtainable." writes Mr. Fred Hinz,
Iirodhagen, Ont, "It gives instant re-
lief and I can recommend it to any
sufferer from this dreadful disease."

A NEW STORY OF LINCOLN.
An American lawyer has unearthed
a new Lincoln story, This lawyer
says that while Lincoln was still practic-
ing law in Springfield, I11,, he, the one
who tells the story, was sent there to
collect a debt.
"While waiting to get the necessary
order signed," he says, "I noticed a
short, stubby lawyer, who was seated
within the rail, get up and step to the
railing and lean over it to whisper to a
client who was sitting close to the rail-
ing on the other side. The little fat
lawyer's short coat drew up and showed
that his trousers were much worn. Im-
mediately a young lawyer seized a
sheet of paper and wrote what I after-
ward saw: 'We, the undersigned, sub-
scribe the sum set opposite our name
to purchase a pair of trousers for Broth-
er ." Several of the lawyers put
down their names, three cents, five
cents and one cent. A tall man sat a
table examining a package of legal
papers, and the paper was handed to
him, and he turned round in his chair
and looked at the lawyer leaning over
the railing, took a pen and wrote with-
out a smile, 'I have no sympathy with
the end in view. A Lincoln.' "
The Month of Brides
The
The bard his soul discloses and on his
winged steed rides, and sings of bloom-
ing roses, and also blooming brides; the
latter, from their bowers in fine and
brave array, outblush theblushing flow-
ers upon their wedding day. With blue
skies bending o'er them, no omens to
annoy, they've all the world before them
a world of light and boy. The old dame
smiles and blesses the brides through
furtive years, and thinks of bridal dress-
es she wore in long gone years. The
old men sadly ponder on brides they
used to know in brave days 'way back
yonder - the days of long ago. They
have bright skies above them; the bri-
des who blush and bloom, and all the
world to love them and not a threat of
gloom. I wish that every token of joy
might be fulfilled, and not a hope be
broken that gentle bosoms thrilled; the
harp of Ife should never send forth a
doleful tune, and peace should walk
forever with blushing brides of June.
I wish I knew to -morrow would dupli-
cate to -day, that ne'er a shade of sor-
row would come the young wives' way;
that happiness would linger beneath the
sun and moon, and guide them by the
finger, the blushing brides of June! —
Walt Mason.

Text, I Tim, i, 15, R. V,—Commentary
Prepared by Rev. O. M. Stearns.
This anointing of Jesus by a penitent)
woman is recorded only by Luke.
There is another anointing later in His
ministry which is recorded by Mat-
thew, Mark and John, but not by,
Luke. That was at Bethany, and
Mary, the sister of Martha, anointed
Him for his burial. This was probably,
at /lain, and the name of the womanis
not given. Both anointings were in
the bouses of men called Simon, but
the one Is called Simon the Pharisee
and the other Simon the leper. In to-
day's lesson the woman washed His
feet with penitential tears, wiped them
with het' hair, kissed them and anoint-
ed there. At Bethany Mary anointed
His head as well as Ills feet, but there
is no record of her washing them.
They are manifestly two wholly dif-
ferent
ifferent incidents at different times and
in different places, but Jesus Christ
Himself is the center to each, as He U
In all the Bible. and everywhere and at
all times revealing God the Father. In
our lesson He is in the house of one
who knew Him not nor treated Him
with common courtesy, as we leads
from the words of Jesus in verses 44 -
"Thou gayest me no water for my,
feet; thou gayest me no kiss; my head
with oil thou didst not anoint." At
Bethany He was In the house of those
who loved him. This Pharisee reminds
us of the one in chapter Lyiil, 11, 12,
and in verse 30 of our lesson chapter we
road that "the Pharisees and lawyers
rejected the counsel of God against
themselves.” In chapter xvt, 14, it is
said that the Pharisees derided Him and
His teaching. He went wherever He
could do good and heal a sin sick soul
or a diseased body, never thinking of
Himself or of His unkind treatment by
others. He did not hesitate to touch
the world in any form for its good, but
Ele was as separate from 'it as light
from darkness. He came to save sin-
ners, to seek and to save the lost, and,
inasmuch as Se Himself said, "'There is
joy in the presence of the angels of
God over one sinner that repeuteth."
(Luke xv, 20), He was no doubt full of
joy when He found anyone like this
woman. or the woman of Samaria, or
Ntcodemus, or Zaccheus, or the peni-
tent thief, willing to be saved. Per-
haps she had heard His "Come unto
me" or Ells words to another, "Daugh-
ter,
Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith bath
made thee whole" (Matt. xi, 28; is, 22).
Somehow she had heard and believed
and had wasted her opportunity to
thank Him. Now it had come within
her reach, and she hastened to do all
that was in her heart. It mattered not
to her that the house was that of
Simon the Pharisee; she was not think-
ing
hinking of either Simon or his house, but
of just one person who had made her
blind to all but Himself. She knew;
her sin better than Simon did, and so
did Fie to whom she had now come.
How unusual such tears and such de-
votion, and how refreshing all mast
have been to Film. She washed His
feet with her tears, but He had washed
her soul by His precious blood, soon
to be shed for her. See her humility, at
His feet behind Him; see her contri-
tion, weeping over His feet and think-
ing how her own bad wandered. Some
one has said that the essence of be1C
heart was distilled to bathe His feet
and the glory of her head unbound to
furnish Him with a towel. Had she
kingdoms to give they would havd
been laid at His feet, but she did bet
best, and He accepted. She did not
send by another. She rendered per-
sonal gratitude. She was so oecupiet;
with Him that Simon's frowns w
nothing to her. There is no record of it
word she uttered; but, oh, how tit)'
team, the disheveled hair, the precious
ointment, did talk for her! She had no
thought of calling any one's attention
to her; she cared for'noone's opinion;
she was endeavoring to thank Him.
He accepted her gratitude, He looked .•
at her, Fie took her part, He spoke to
her and said to her, "Thy sins are for-
given; they faith bath saved thee; gold
peace" (verses 98, 50). Her name we
know net, but it Is written in heaven
(Luke x. 20). May the Joy of sins for-
given be a reality to as and a whole
soujed devotion to Him be seen in our
daily lives. Simon thought that he'
knew her, but that Jesus did not know
tier, whereas Jesus knew boot of them
as they did not know themselves. Fie
would he veil Simon s
