JOHN JENSEN_USED ' DODD'S ,KIDNEY PILLS, Saskatchewan farmer suffered from backache and stiffness' in the joints andwas restored to good health by using Dodd's Kidney Pills. Eddyside, Sask., June 9th.—(Spe- cial).---"For about three years I have suffered from backache and stiffness in my joints. I did not sleep well and )had very little appetite in the morn- ings. I took two boxes -of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills, and have found -that they did me a lot of good." This statement is made by Mr. J. Jensen, well known in this place. Mr. 'Je'nsen's ,troubles were caused by the kidneys.. That's. why hei'got such prompt relief from Dodd's Kid- aney Pills, for they act- only on the kidneys. ' it 41j When the kidneys are not right, they fail to do their full work of straining all 'the impurities, all the seeds of disease, and of the blood. 'There can be no pure blood if the kidneys are wrong. There can be no good health unless the blood is pure. ' Ask your neighbors if Dodd's Kid- ney Pills are not the sovereign rem- edy for sick kidneys. IDECAY„.._OF ENGLISH COUNTRY LIFE—HUNDREDS OF GREAT ESTATES SOLD "Those who study the advertise- ments of auctioneers and estate ag- ents must feel many pangs of regret on seeing week after week the lists of historic houses and estates which come under the hammer," says•.a writ- er in the Quarterly Review of London. "A firm of auctioneers who transact perhaps a quarter • of this business have sold since 1918 1,416,271 acres— ern area between the size of Norfolk; and Lincolnshire. The transfer /of capital represented by this amount Is A22,306,164.

TOO vO:E4K TO WALK The Sas, Con( Aron ' of, a Brandon Lady—How Relief, Came. "I owe my present good health to • Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs. Annie Treherne, Brandon, Man., wfio tells of her new found health as fol- lows:—"Some years ago I had an at- tack of pneumonia and it left me in a terribly weakened and run-down state. I was unable to walk for a long time as I had practically lost the use of my legs, -and had to be carried up- stairs, for I had not the strength to go myself. I became despondent over my condition for I had tried many remedies, which failed to help me. While in this wretched rrondition a lady friend urged me to give Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills Wiriest and I procur- ed a supply. After taking the pills for a while I could see that I was growing stronger, and I gladly con- tinued their use until I had fully re- gained my old-time health and strength. Vow if I feel at all run down ateany time, I at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Ind they never fail me. I can therefore warmly re- commend them to others who may be run down." There is no better tonic than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to improvethe blood and bring back strength after acute diseases such as fevers, pneu- monia, influenza, etc. Given a fair trial they will not disappoint you. You can get the pills from your drug- gist, or they will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box by"The Dr. 'Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. MUSIC FROM A MIRROR GAVE 'IDEA FOR ORGAN , More than two thoudand years ago a barber in Alexandria discovered that in moving his mirror air was forced through the tubes which were common in 'mirrors at that time. This caused a curiou9 ,musical sound to be emitted. So struck was he by this peculiarity that he set about making an instrument which was' the founda- tion of the modern organ. After several experiments he made a water -flute, in which air was forced by bellows through an inverted cone which led to flutes controlled by a keyboard, the pressure being 'kept uniform by water. After a thousand years a rival in- strument ma'fle its appearance. This was of 'a similar pattern, but, instead of water, weights regulated the pres- sure. • In 951 an organ was erected m Winchester. It ,had twenty-six bel- lows and +ten pipes to eabh key. The two ellen who. saw at the keyboard "blew and sweeted efiormously." Lat- erea firm of organ makers in Ger- inany succeeded M erecting the first really big instrument.The 'primary stops did not differ very .much from those of to -day, although various nov- elties were introduced.. • Among the innovations were the nightingale and cuckao' stops, while others represented. eoe erowigg and goat -bleating. Though these novel- ties have now- fallen into 'disuse, an organ with one• of these nightingale stops is still to be seen in Roine. It was not until the nineteenth cert- . -Miry' that the pebble* of the regttla- ti 8f air pressures was solved by Ore "' deft errlileti in ,.of . the hydraulic relikWt.ag. are summaries . by base Department of ,Fxtensioi t,-,pf the - 0. AM., Guelph, of .work.doae fess that institution with' milk and sone of its products: ' Value o1 Pasteurization. To test .the value of pas uurization as an acid in keeping milk a usable condition for a long period, a, study was made by the Dairy Department of the Ontario Agricultural College during July of 1923. Similar samples of raw and pasteurized milk subject- ed to a temperature ofr53° to 54° F., gave results as follows: /The raw milk did not keep for twenty, -four hours,`while the pasteurized milk was sweet at enti' of third day. Similar samples of raw and pasteurised milk held at 37° to 43° F., gave the fol- lowing results: The raw milk kept sweet,,for less than forty-eight hours, while the pasteurized milk was still sweet• and in good -condition at the end of two weeks. The trials show the great value of pasteurization in the fluid milk trade and the necessity of low temperatures for holding the intik after pasteurizing. Milk Preservative. . Investigational work carried out by the De;artment of Bacteriology, 0.A.C., that is of special interest to the cheesemakers and managers of factories, was concluded during the past year. Many factory managers had experienced trouble in keeping the composite samples of milk in good condition for the period required by the -Dairy Standards. Act. The result pf the Bacteiiological. Depart- ment investigation shows that not less than six grains of corrosive sub- limate is required to keep a one pint sample in good condition for forty This amount should be used `he butter fat tests are made either •e or twice a month. con/Uremia' Buttermilk. in the Dairy Department of the On- tario Agricultural College during the past season a few lots of commercial, buttermilk were made by using either. pasteurized skim -milk, or the butter- milk` from churnings of pasteurized sweet cream, not ripened before churning. To the milk was added 20 per cent. water, 5 per cent. culture and one- half ounce of salt 'per one hundred Pounds of milk. This was allowed to stand until the next morning when it was, nicely coagulated. The coagu- lated milk was then poured into the churn and churned for about twenty eninutes. This made a ;buttermilk that was in good conditipn, had good flavor, was smooth, and did not separ- ate. After churning one lot for fif- teen minutes a small amount of cream was added. The churning was then continued and in nine minutes the cream had churned into fine but- ter granules which gave it the ap- pearance of "old-fashioned" butter- milk -and was well liked. Comparative Yields From High and Low Testing Milk in Cheese - making. Investigations carried out by the Dairy Department and the Chemistry Department of the O.A. College with low and high testing milk used in the manufacture of cheese gave re- sults that are interesting to cheese factory epatrons. The low testing milk contained 12.01 per cent. solids and 3.41 per cent. fat. The high testing milk contained 12.29 per cent. solids and 3,62 per cent. fat— not very much difference between the two samples. The yield of cheese per 1,000; lbs. of milk was • 89.85 lbs. from the low testing lots, and 95.84 lbs. from.the higher testing lots, or nearly six pounds of cheese more per thousand pounds of milk for a very small increase in the percentages of fat and /total solids. This is further evidence of the injustice of paying ,for milk on the basis of weight only and not considering the fat and solids content of mllk when dividing money among patrons of cheese factories. Milk From Sweet -Clover. • The Dairy Department of the' On- tario Agricultural College made four lots of butter during July when the cows were pasturing on sweet clover. The butter was scored tvhen fresh, and again after holding in storage, but none of it had a flavor that could be attributed to sweet clover. These results are similar to those o1 tafned in 1922. Gelatin and Bacteria in Ice Cream. With the great increase in the con- sumption of ice cream and the de- velopment of the ice cream manufac- turing bjusiness various schemes have. been evolved to take care of the de- mand in a way profitable to those manufacturing and selling this food. In making examination of various ' samples of gelatin sent to the Bac- teriology Department of the Ontario Agricultural College some samples were found to have a bacterial con- tent as high as 960,000 per gram. Wholesome los-cream cannot be made if low grade gelation is used in its preparation. Cowpeas. As a rule cowpeas should not be cut for hay oefore the pods begin to turn yellow. The best quality is pro- duced and the hay cures most°readily if the vines are cut when most of the Pods are full grown and a consider- able number of them are mature.
