weakened than ever. Half the time
it was impossible for me to do my
housework. I had a constant head-
ache and was bilious and constipat-
ed.
"My mother had taken Sargon with
such splendid results she induced me
to try it, and it was the best advice
she ever gave me. I gained eight
pounds the first two weeks; my appe-
tite returned and I feel so much
stronger now I'm like a different per-
son.

TWO CONTROL SETS ON NEWEST
TRUCK
Making milkmen better motorists.
This is the aim of a large Detroit
truck company which is announcing
a new type of house-to-house delivery
truck that is said to be the result of
several years' experimental and re-
search work.
The truck has a low aisle and a
one-piece drop frame construction
which allows the milkman to wander
from side to side of the interior with-
out any fuss. 'Hie can go his fellow
motorist one better for he has the
choice of driving either seated or
standing, a small collapsible seat be-
ing provided, and accelerators placed
on the floor board and gear shift lev-
er.
A new patent combination clutch
and brake pedal with automatic brake
lock is another feature that puts the
milkman one up on other motorists
for he can disengage his clutch, put
on the brake and lock it .with one
Movement of his foot.
This milk car is powered by a four -
cylinder engine with special manifold-
ing which is said to greatly reduce the
fuel consumption during the idling
periods.
YOU NEED A TONIC
The purpose of a tonic is to tone
up the system. A tonic is a medicine
for the whole body, not just part of
it. A real tonic must work through
the blood for the blood reaches
everywhere and an improvement in
its quality is quickly followed by an
improvement in the whole iorganism.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills rebuild
the blood Begin their treatment
then look in your mirror and see the
result—increased color in your cheeks
and lips and added brightness in the
eyes. Notice, too, the new spring
to your step. These things record
an improved tone in the body and if
the tonic treatment with these pills is
persisted in for a reasonable time the
condition of ill -health will be banish-
ed.
At this season of the year most
people need a tonic. Why not take
the best. Begin your tonic treatment
to -day with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
They are sold by all medicine dealers
or by mail at 50 cents a box from
The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co ,

CANADIAN GARDEN SERVICE
Once more the annual, but still mir-
aculous, drama is about to take place.
Nature awakening from the long win-
ter sleep. True, in many parts of
Canada winter is still with us and
may linger for some time yet, but al-
ready beneath the frost life is stirring
and in most of us that old urge of
wanting to assist again arises. Bet-
ter than sitting still, we can dream of
the happy months ahead and with a
pencil plot out our garden for 1931.
Some things left undone last season
will be guarded against this, while
many of us will have the thrill of en-
gaging in this fascinating and satis-
fying recreation for the first time.
Gardening is not expensive, it is not
difficult and when well :planned it
should not interfere with any of our
other pleasures. Moreover, unlike
some investment returns are certain
just as Spring invariably follows win -

and Money are not too certain there
is, a good deal of dollars and cents
satisfaction in a big supply of veget-
ables, unmatched in quality, as the
home variety always are, right at our
door.
The Vegetable Garden.
If we are fortunate in possessing a
fair sized piece of ground we can use
a horse or tractor to do most of the
work. Sometimes this power can be
rented from a neighbor if we are un-
able to supply it ourselves. Where
used, it is best to space rows of our
ordinary vegetables thirty inches or a
yard apart, and thebbigger or spread-
ing sorts like Corn, Fotatees, Toma-
toes or 'Cucumlbers, three to four feet.
This will allow easy and continuous
cultivation right through until the
work is no longer required, and very
little hoeing will be. needed. If, on
the other hand, space is limited and
we want maximum results we can re-
duce the width between rows to fif-
teen and twenty inches, respectively,
and can further economize by alter-
nating early (and late stuff like Spin-
ach and Carrots, Peas and Corn, so
that the first named in each case will
be used and out of the way before
the later •kilts require the full room.
Of course, where one plans an inten-
sive garden of this kind we will haive
more hand work, thaelgh this can be
greatly lessened by the use Of hand
cultivators rather than hoes, and we
should also use plenty of fertilizer.
This may be either well rotted man-
ure or a good balanced commercial
mixture high in nitrogen, or better
still, some of both. In all vegetable
gardens it is essential to run rows
absolutely straight, using a string w
absolutely straight, using a string
when sowing. Not only does this im-
the a earance but it
prove conserves
space and allows easy and thorough
cultivation. Another thing to remem-
ber is to plow or spade the ground
carefully'.before sowing, and before
we start to have a plan on paper plot-
ted roughly to scale. In our plan it
is well to remember that such things
like lettuce and onions, whichare us-
ed frequently and which will benefit
from a few pails of water during the
dry weather, should be placed near
the house for convenience sake. One
more piece of advice. Do not start to
plana before the soil is ready, and do
not plant the whole packet at one
time. If we want lettuce during the
summer instead of for a week or two
in June and green peas from the mid-
dle of June until August,. for instance,
we should use early, medium and late
varieties and should make three plant-
ings at intervals of a week.
Flowers.
All the previous remarks regarding
cultivation and general care in regard
to vegetables also hold good for flow-
ers, but here we must get away from
the straight row idea. It is all very
well and advisable to grow some
flowers such as Sweet Peas and others
of which we prize flowers for cut-
ting and not foliage, in the vegetable
garden, but in the regular beds we
should plant in clumps of one color
and variety and generally arrange to
have the small stuff at the front and
the taller sorts such as Hollyhocks,
Sunflowers, Dahlias and Cosmos to-
ward the rear. We should plan to
have som,ethink blooming all the time
and if we make our selection from
the seed catalogue with this idea in
mind it will not be difficult to achieve
almost continuous bloom from late
Spring until the first frosts in Sep-
tember.
FARM NOTES
Three of the 3,000.
Fried, boiled and poached are the
three ways eggs are most familiar to
the average individual. But these are
only three of the more than three
thousand way in which•a famous chef
asserts eggs are served.
In a northern climate an egg eaten
in the winter time has greater food
values than one eaten inthe summer
time. The present price of eggs, the
lowest in years, is having the effect of
increasing the popularity of eggs.—

Day-to-day Report of Potato Market.
In order to keep potato growers and
shippers more closely in touch with
market conditions the Fruit Branch of
the Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture has instituted a day-to-day radio
market report service. Staff inspectors
of the Department at Montreal, Ot-
tawa and Toronto wire the salient fea-
tures of their local market to the
Branch at Ottawa at'10.30 each morn-
ing. At Ottawa . these reports are
consolidated and telegraphed to Monc-
ton, N.B., where they are sent out
through the courtesy of radio station
C.N.R.A, during the noon hour broad-
cast.
No Trace of Gypsies.
At the conclusion of the season's
scouting operations in Quebec ento-
mologists of the Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture report "through-
out the season's work no trace of the
gypsy moth was found." In this im-
portant field work special attention
was paid to highways leading from
the international boundary to tourist
centres in Quebec province. Close ex-
amination was made of trees along
the highway, orchards, tourist camps
and in and about centres of popula-
tion.

Drone 5 11," a White Leghorn own-
ed by William Whiting, of Port Ke11s,
B.C., qualified as a real champion egg
layer. This bird, a beautiful speci-
men of the breed, weighs just 5.2
pounds. From November 1, 1929, to
October 30, 1930, she laid 29.9 dozen
eggs which weighed 52 pounds, or pust
ten times her own 'weight. Her re-
cord is official in the fullest sense of
the term. During the entire period
of the contest she was entirely out
of the hands of her owner and under
the competent neutral supervision of
the federal egg -laying contest. This
hen shows conclusively thepossibili-
ties of Canada's national poultry -
breeding policy.
Honored by Italy.
F. C. Elford, Dominion Poultry Hus-
bandman and Past President of the
World's Poultry Science Association,
under whose auspices ' the World's
Poultry Congresses are held, has been
signally honoured by the government
of Italy who appointed him a member
of the executive for the Fifth World's
Poultry Congress which meets in
Rome in 1933, Mr. Elford has also
been asked to take charge of organ-
ization of the Canadian delegation to
Rome. From present indications the
next Congress will fully equal the
success of last year at London.
Cereal Research Grows.
The report of the Dominion Cere-
alist, L. H. Newman, B,S.A., for 1929,
provides a graphic illustration of the
steady increase in cereal research by
the Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture. In 1916 the total of plots used
in investigational work numbered 2,-
017. In 19-1 this had dropped to
only 756. Since 1927, however, there
has been a consistent steady expan-
sion in this important work, the total
number of plots for 1930 being 15,950.
This report, which is now available
for distribution, contains a wealth of
useful information for those interest-
ed in cereal grains.
Pick the Good Ones.
This is the time of the year when
the value of trapnest records for hens
has its greatest value. In selecting
birds for breeding pens George Rob-
ertson, Poultry Husbandman at the
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
advises that vigour is the outstand-
ing qualification to watch for in hens.
The birds which pay nowadays are
only those having sufficient stamina
to stand up to heavy egg production.
Size, body -type, volume and size of
eggs are important. The trapnest re-
cord is a useful guide in the selection
of birds of the right type. Equal
care should be taken in the selection
of the male bird, 'which should be
strong and vigorous and preferably
the progeny of a dam of proven pro-
duction ability. ‘Hle should be select-
ed carefully forquality, and if he is
the right type' he will look it.
Canadian Cattle Sent the British
Buyers.
Analysis of the report on the re-
sults of test shipment of 1,028 head
of range, cattle from Western Can-
ada, arranged by the Dominion Live
Stock Branch, shows that well-bred
cattle of medium weights and good
flesh will be Well received on the Brit-
ish markets, particularly during the
store cattle season. They respond
readily to feeding, making good gains.
It is noted that the presence of horns,
also of conspicuous brand marks, have
a bearish effect an prices. The older
cattle in the shipment proved disap-
pointing, indicating that the market
is essentially for young stock. An-
other thing apparent is that the Old
Country buyers place a premium on
apparent quality. Some of the last
shipment of three -year-olds to Man-
chester netted shippers $67.75 apiece
sold for slaughter and evoked favour-
able comment =on the way they dress-
ed out. Prices realized were not as
high as hoped for in some cases; they
were in several instances better than
offered at home.
Parasites of Sheep and Their Control.
The Dominion Department of Agri-
culture and the Departments of Agri-
culture of Quebec, Nova Scotia and
Prince Edward Island are co-operating
in making available to sheep raisers
in Eastern Canada a booklet, "Com-
mon Animal Parasites Injurious to
Sheep in Eastern Canada." The man-
uscript, prepared by Dr. Lionel Stev-
enson, of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture, deals in a practical way
with a wide range of parasites, their
appearance, and the symptoms which
indicate their presence; and also pre-
scribes effective treatment. A limited
supply of the booklet is available for
free distribution through the Publica-
tions Branch of the Dominion Depart-
ment at Ottawa.
Canadian Onions.
Canadian Onion Week, January 25
to 31, did a lot to increase the popu-
larity of Canadian onions. It also
brought to light some interesting
facts about this rapidly growing in-
dustry. Per capita consumption of
onions in Canada in 1930 was about
10 pounds. In other words, this
means that a total of 100,000 pounds
---150,000 tons .or some 2,000 carloads
—of onions were eaten by Canadian
people. This huge quantity came
principally from two sources. C'ati-
adien growers produced 29,976 tons,
