I Seaforth, Sept, 23.—The annual fall, fair of the Seaforth Agricultural Society came to a successful close today. Ideal weather conditions prevailed and there was a record attendance. One of the attractions was a rural and urban children's parade from -Victoria Park, headed by the Seaforth Highlanders' Band, The first and second prizes were won by the Seaforth public and separ- ate schools, while in theparade of 'country scholars Hullett came first and Tuckersmith second. Indoors there was a beautiful display of flowers and ladies' work, the mer - ants' exhibit also being an interesting feature. The roots and vegetables were of fine quality. The fruit show this year was below the average. The school children's exhibit in a nearby •tent was the largest and best at the fair and .aroused much interest. Fine Live Stock. In the cattle exhibit the classes were particularly good and well represented. The heavy draught horses were excep- tionally fine. Some of the prize win- ners at the Toronto and London exhibi- tions were shown here, which made this class the equal of any show in Ontario. There was also a good exhibit of pout, try. In the baby contest Mr. J. L. Belz's little son, and Leslie Scott's daughter, Maxine, secured first and second prizes, The Races. • The results of the races were as fol- lows: 2.25 pace or trot: , Logan Boy, Bannerman Logan .11 1 1 Charlie Mack, Cudmore, Seaforth 3 2 2 Minnie Hall, McMichael, Seaforth •2 3 3 2.15 pace or trot: • Joe McKinley, Litt, Mitchell -1 2 1 1 Mollie McEwen, Fawn, Mitchel1.3 1 2 2 Marjorie, Whitely, Goderich..2.3 3 3 Daisy Hal, owned by Dr. Whitley, of Goderich, broke her ankle in the home stretch, in the 2,25 trot and had to be withstrawn. .t4 • FARM MANAGEMENT Brief $tudy of Some of Its Leading Problems, Systematic Method Important •,—.

The word "un- controllable" is used loosely, and some measure of control is poselble or hoped for In every farmer's undertakings. Farm management as a science, as a study, or a planned eystem, is a study of the methode of control. Farm practice is the corresponding art. A farmer was Ill" vited to attend a meeting to discern improved • methods of farming, "Nothing doing," was his reply; "I know a lot more new than I can get done." A very natural point of view, for the limitations of time, the scarc- ity of labor, adverse weather, dis- eases and pests, prevent hitu from getting all those results whioh his plans end his labor deserve. Yet he must plan, and to plan betelligentle he ^must be possessed of the best knowledge available. He must plan to produce . the greatest possible Quantity, the best quality, at the low- est possible cost, and then he mint Plan to sell his produce at Prices which will bring to him sufficient encouragement and reward. Problems of Farm Management. These are the problems of farm management: Quantity, quality, cost, and proceeds; and since they are closely inter -related, they cannot be studied separately, but must be con- sidered all together. For example, Eluropean farming and Canadian farming are often compared to the disadvantage of the latter. It is as- serted, and it is doubtless true, that the European farmer produces more per acre than the Canadian farmer does, and that the European acre is increasing in yield, while the Cana- dian acre is diminishing in yield. On the other hand, the Canadian farmer produces from three to ten times as much per man as does the European farmer. In Europe, because of the dense population and the relative scarcity of land, production per acre is the measure of efficiency. In Can- ada, becalms! ge the scarcity of men on the land and the relative abund- ance of land, production per man is the measure of efficiency. In Canada the farmer has the option of applying more labor to the same acres, and Producing more per, acre, or apply- ing his labor to mbre acres. The law of 'diminishing returns speedily Induces him to choose his option by workifig more acres. A low produc- tion per acre is the inevitable result of this choice. Management Influenced by Returns. The farmer's interest is served by adopting such a system of farm man- agement as will give him the great- est returns for labor and capital ex- pended. Unfortunately, that system invarlably results, in a country where there is 'unoccupied land, in wasting roil fertility and diminishing yields. The nation, as distinct from the individual farmer, is concerned in conserving its natural resources and in producing the greatest pos- sible amount of wealth; that is, in maintaining the soil fertility unim- paired and producing the maximum per acre. Thus the interest of the individual farmer and the interests of the nation are opposed, so long as the farmer can spread his available labor over more acres than he can work at maximum productiveness. Those interests will not be reconcil- ed so long as economic conditions furnish the farmer with inefficient and costly labor, and costly fertilizers. No Excuse for Slovenly Farming. All this, however, does not excuse the careless and inefficient farmer. Two farmers live and work side by side. Both have the same uumeer of acres, and the same amount of capital invested. To both the same knowledge of good methods is avail- able. One of them directs his labor, arranges his crops, selects his stook, keeps them healthy and thrifty, keeps his land clean, maintains his soil fertility, sells his produce to ad- vantage, and succeeds. The other is haphazard. He has no Plans, or wrong plans. His stock are poor 'in quality, and ill -fed. His fences are broken down, and his land overrun with weeds. He is going behind year by year. We all know men of both types, The difference is a difference in farm management. — President Reynolds, 0. A. College, Guelph. Wingham, Sept. 23,—H, B.

When your blood is impoverished, the nerves suffer from lack of nourishment and you may be troubled with insomnia, neuritis, neuralgia or sciatica. Mus- cles subject to strain are under -nour- ished and you may have muscular rheumatism or lumbago. If your blood is thin and you beyin to show symptoms of any of these disorders try building up the blood with Dr, WilliamPink Pills. These pills have a special action on the blood and as it becomes enriched .your health im- proves. The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is proved by the experience of Mr. D, J. McDonald, North River Bridge, N. S., who says: "For some years 1 suffer- ed severely with headaches, pains In the back and a run-down condition. At times the pain in my back would be so bad that I would sit up in bed all night. From time to time doctors were treating me, but did not give me more than temporary relief. And then one day when 1 was suffering terrib• ly a neighbor came to see ine, and urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, After trying two boxes I felt relief. I got five boxes more and be- fore they were all, gone 1' felt as thot1gh they were giving me new life, as in every way they built up and improved my health and strength. I am now working as a barker in a pulp mill, ten hours a day and feel- ing none the worse after my day's work. I say with pleasure that this condition is due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.” You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2,50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine 'Co., Brockville, Ont, Goad Care Will Save Many !Peals. The best time to grow foals, and the time when they will make their largest gains is when they are being -carried by their dams. Many farm- ers do not realize this, and begin feeding the mare a proper ration only after the foal is bee. The brood mare, when in foal, should be fed a high protein ration, a ration which is rich in muscle and bone building material. This material iv supplied in the form of oats, bran, and oil meal, as a concentrate, and clover or alfalfa hay as a roughage. As SoOti as the young foal aerlves, see that he gots a good drink of Is mother's first milk. This fore -milk or colostrum has purgative properles. and will usually clear the roars in- testines of the excrement accinu- !need prior to birth, if the digestive tract Is not cleanei by 118 fore -milk, give the foal a to hiespeonfill of eas- ter oil and V. water and soap seal in e etlen.
