STORMY WEATHER
HARD ON BABY
The stormy, blustery weather
which we have during February and
March is extremely hard on children,
'Conditions make it necessary for the
i uother to keep them in the house.
They are often confined to overheat-
ed, badly ventilated rooms and catch
colds which rack their whole system.
To guard against this a box of Baby's
Own Tablets should be kept in the
house and an occasional dose given
the baby to keep his stomach and
bowels working regularly. This will
not fail to break up colds and, keep
the health of the baby in good condi-
` tion till the brighter days come along.
The Tablets are sold by medicine
dealers or by mail at' 25 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,

CHISELHURST
(Too late for last week.). -
Notes. — We have to record this
week the death ,of Mr. Andrew Wright
of the tenth concession of Hibbert,
who passed away on Friday last. Mr.
Wright had been in declining health
for over a year. The body was taken
to Mitchell for interment. Mr. Wright
was a man of a very jovial disposi-
tion, a good` friend and neighbor. He
leaves to mourn his loss -a wife and
family of grown up sons and daugh-
ters, who 'have the sympathy of the
neighborhood.—Mn. and Mrs. Tids-
bury, of Alberta, are visiting friends
in this vicinity.—We are pleased to
state that Mrs. John McLean, who
rias been confined to her room for
over a week through illness, is some-
what improved. •
THE REASON WHY
Where does the wind begin? The
Movements of those currents of ai
leaves many pockets of space where
there is no air, and when one o
these is uncovered the air rushes in
and creates a wind in doing so. These
air currents are continually pressing
against each other to get some place
else. They ' change their direction
according to the pressure that is be-
ing applied to thein. Sometimes the
pressure will be very light in. one
part of the air, many miles away,
perhaps, and then the air in another
part, which is under great pressure
vsrill rush with great force into the
part where the pressure is light, and
thus form a big wind. When the
pressure stops the wind stops.
We have probably felt the wind
which comes out of the valve of the
automobile tire when the cap is taken
off to pump up the tire. It is a real
Wind that comes out. The reason is
that the air in. the tube of the tire is
under great pressure, and when the
opportunity is given to get where the
pressure is light, it starts for that
place with a rush and comes out of
the valve a real wind.
Why does the sound stop when we
touch a gong that has been sounded?
When we tpuch the gong we stop the
sound waves which the gong gives
off when it is struck. These sound
waves continue after the gong has
been, struck in continuous vibrations
until something stops them. When,
you touch the' vibrating gong, you
stop its vibrating. If you only touch
your finger to the vibrating. gong you
can feel a little tickling sensation.
Naturally when you stop these vibra-
tions you stop' the air waves which
the vibrations cause, and thus also
the sound of.these air waves striking
your ear is stopped and the sound
ceases.
Is there a man in the moon? The
markings which we see on the face
Of the moon when it is full can by a
stretch of the imagination be said to
form the face of a man. On some
nights this face appears to be quite
distinct. If, however, we look at the
moon through a telescope, we see
distinctly that it is not the face Of
a Calan. Thrpugh a very large tele-
scope we can, see very plainly that
the marks are mountains and craters_
of extinct volcanoes. It just happens
that these marks on the moon, aided
by the reflections of the light from
the sun, which gives the moon. all the
light it has, snake a combination that
looks like a face.
Why does my hair ..stand on end
when I am frightened? It does this
Ander certain conditions, beacuse
there is a little muscle down at the
root of each hair that will make each
hair stand up straight when .s this
muscle pulls a certain way. It is dif-
fieuit to say just how these muscles
are caused to act in this way when
we are frightened. We know that
;when. thoroughly frightened our hair
;will sometimes stand straight up, and
;we know that it is this muscle at the
root of each hair that makes it pos-
ltible, but why it is that a big scare
will make this muscle act this way

HEN a horse has been pro-
perly fitted for hard
work, the collar fits pro-
' perly and the driver ob-
. serves reasonable precautions to
avoid trouble, it is seldom that shoul-
der trouble occurs; but where the
horse has not been prepared for
work, or the collar does not fit pro -
porly, or the driver is careless, trou-
we do not as yet know.
What makes a hot box? When you
put ail on the axle, however, the oil
fills up the hollows between the little
irregular humps on both -the axle
and the hub, and makes them both
smooth—almost perfectly so. This
reduces the friction and keeps the
axle and hub from becoming hot and
expanding. The less friction that is
developed, the more- easily the wheel
will turn,
Why does. poker get hot at both
ends if left in the fire? Both ends
of the poker becomes heated because
the poker is made of iron, and iron is
a particularly good conductor of heat.
To understand this we must look in-
to the questions of what a good con-
; dilator, of heat is. In this case the
particles of iron, which combined form
the poker, are so close together that
when those at the end of the poker -
which is in the fire get hot, the parti-
cles at that end hand the heat on to
the particles neat to them and so on
until the whole# poker is hot. The
difference between a thing which is ,a
good conductor of heat and a thing 1
which is not a good conductor, lies in
the. ability of the different particles
which compose it to hand the heat on
to the others. Did you ever notice
that the handle of a solid silver spoon
will become hot if the spoon is left in
hot coffee? Solid silver is a good
conductor of heat. A plated spoon is
not a good conductor, however, and
will not become hot if left in the cup
of hot coffee as a solid silver spoon
will.

hie is very "liabld to occur. When
• the horse has a long coat .of hair in
Ike spring it 'is good practice to clip-
.
lip-. the parts with which the collar comes
in contact, as a preventive measure.
In fact, in many cases it is wise to
clip the whole horse.
Shoulder troubles are usually caus- .
, eel by ill-fitting collars, but in horses
Lnot accustomed to work, may, occur
even when the collar fits properly.
. The most common shoulder trouble
is practically a form of scalding. The
skin becomes inflamed and tender,
the hair drops. out, and • if wo_.k be
continued the parts become raw. This
is often , due to neglect in cleaning
' the face of the collar regularly, also
thoroughly cleaning the shoulders i
regularly, and failure to remove the .,
collar at meal times to allow the
shoulders and collar face to become
dry, and then clean them before put-
ting the collar on again. For treat-
ment, a lotion made of one ounce
each of acetate of lead and sulphate
of zinc in a pint of 'cold water, is
probably the best application. This
should be applied three or four times
daily,, and, if ,possible, the. animal..
should be givenrest or worked in a
breast collar.
Abscesses or tumors may form on
the shoulder as a result of pressure
of the collar, . is trou-
ble appears suddenly- A swelling of
considerable size is noticed. It is not
very- tender or sore to pressure, and
is found to be soft and fluctuating
when handled. This Is called a "ser-
ous" abscess. it contains a thin
fluid, about the consistency of water
called "serum" which is situated just
beneath the skin.
Another form appears more slowly.
The horse evincespain when pressure
Is put upon the shoulder, and exam -
/nation reveals a swelling. 'rhe ani,
mal can work and evinces little pain, he i
except for a short time after s ,
•
put to work, until after he is allowed
to stand fox' a few minutes. The
soreness and enlargement gradually
increase, and while the swelling may
not appeal to the touch, as solid and
lard as at ,first, it has not the fluc-
tuating condition of the serous ab-
scess. The walls are thicker. This
contains pus or matter, and is called
a purulent abscess. Treatment in
either case consists in making a free
ncision through the walls of the ab -
cess at the lowest -part, to allow free
scape of the contents, and then
bushing out well three or four times
aily until healed, with a five per
ent. solution in water, of one of the
oal tar antiseptics - or carbolic acid.
n this case the patient ust have
est, or be worked in a b ast collar,
. Another condition ram like
auses is a fibrous tumor. This forms
lowly, is more or less sore, in fact
cts much the same as a purulent
bscess. In some cases it is not pos-
ible to diagnose definitely between
tumor and a purulent abscess with
ery thick walls, without exploring.

even a very little pus be present it
ill yield to the treatment tor an.
bscess, but if no pus be present the
only treatment is dissection. The
whole fibrous growth must be care-
fully dissected out, the wound stitch-
ed, except a portion at the bottom
to allow escape of pus which forms
during the healing process, and
treated as an abscess. — Dr. J. H.
Reed, O. A. College, Guelph.
HOW TO TREAT
STOMACH TROUBLE
A Tonic Medicine is Needed To
Build Up the Digestive
Organs.
The old-fashioned methods of treat-
ing stomach diseases are being dis-
carded. The trouble ' with the old-
fashioned methods was that when the
treatment was stopped the trouble re-
turned in an aggravated fore.
The modern method of treating in-
digestion and other. forms of stomach
trouble is to tone up the stomach and
glands to their normal work. Every
step toward recovery is a step gained
not to be Iost again. The recovery
of the appetite, the disappearance of
pain after eating, the absence of gas,
are steps on the road to health that
those who have tried the tonic treat-
ment remember distinctly. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills are a tonic every
constituent of which is helpful in
building up the digestive organs, and
therefore the very best remedy for
simple or chronic cases of stomach
trouble. The success of the treat-
ment is best shown by hundreds of
cses like the following: Mr. Chas.
Confer, Picton, Ont., says:—"For up-
wards of two yt ars I was a great suf-
ferer from indigestion. Food would
ferment in my stomach, and I would
belch gas with a burning sensation.
Often I would be tilled with nau-
sea, sick headache dizziness.
Notwithstanding that I was under
medical treatment the trouble grew
so bad, that I would only eat when
absolutely forced to, and I was in.
constant misery. I was finally ad-
vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
and had only been using them, a few
weeks when I found they were help-
ing me. I very gladly continued
their use and the result is they have
Imide me a well woman, every vestige
of the trouble having disappeared. I
am. so grateful for what Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills have done for me that I
strongly advise any who may be suf-
fering from stomach trouble to give
thein a fair trial, and I believe that
like myself they will find a sure
Cure,"
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any dealer hi medicine,
or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a
box, or six boxes for $2.50 from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine .Co., Brock-
ville, Ont.
Planting Field Beans.
Of the various kinds of field beans
the greatest demand is for the Com-
mon White, of which there are sev-
eral named varieties such as =Early
Wonder, Scholfield, Elliott, etc. It
is important to secure an early strain, -
to test the germination, and to plant
early in the Month of June.
Field beans are grown successfully
on a great variety of soils: They do
particularly well on fertile land
which may be classed as loam, sandy
loam, gravelly loam,. or gravelly
clay. All soils for bean. production
should be well underdrained either
naturally or artificially. With proper
drainage even clay soils have produc-
ed beans satisfactorily in regard to
both yield and quality. Beans do
particularly well after clover or grass
sod and are frequently followed by
winter wheat in some localities and
by spring grains in other sections. It
is of great importance to have the
land thoroughly cultivated and a
seed- bed which is both moist and
mellow.
In those sections where field beans
are grown extensively, bean planters
are sometimes employed. On the ma-
jority of farms, however, the beans'
are planted, with an ordinary grain
drill by using every fourth tube,
Three pecks per acre of the pea beans
are usually planted on average soil.
If the soil is particularly rich, how-
ever, the quantity might be reduced
slightly. When the tops of the grow-
ing crop are dry the beans should be
cultivated occasionally throughout
the season to destroy the weeds and
to form a fine surface mulch. --.Dr,
C. A. Zavitz, O. A. College, Guelph.
Roots, cabbage, fine alfalfa hay, or
even a little silage, will be relished
very much by sows, and will keep
them in good health.
