Over 14 per cent. interest on a valua- tion of $1,000 per acre, after making liberal allowances for wages, equip- ment, and every other item of expen- diture, is the result of the first season's work in "The Farmer's Advocate" Demonstration Apple Orchard, near London, Ont., as detailed in a two- page, illustrated article in the eplendi3 1009 Christmas Number of that old, reliable agricultural journal and home magazine. Another feature is an arti- cle on Canadian Hunters and Jump- ers, by R. P. Stericker, the noted American horse judge, who states that out of some 20 high -jumping horses known to have official records of seven feet or over, .11 were Canadian -bred. This article lends point and interest to the front -cover illustration, repre- senting a horse going over a hurdle, with a lady up "Education for the Farm" is the title of a succinct review by John Dearness, a pioneer champion of the nature -study phases of educa- tion, designed to educate the child. "A Land of Promise and Fulfilment" is the truthful title of a graphic arti- cle dealing with Ontario old and now, and illustrated with a full-page photo- gravure of what is being accomplished in the northland, particularly in agri- eniture. An article on "Shorthorn Cattle," orie on "Some British Sheep- 'folds," and one on the "Origin of Our Domesticated Poultry," ate among the other features, while an excellent re- port of the Canadian Stockmen's suc- cesses at Chicago makes first -Class reading. "The Rome Magazine," al- ways a popular department, is this year particularly strong. One of its features is "Sixteen Acres of Blow- ers," describing the immense green- houses at Brampton, Ont., illustrated by a 10 -inch cut representing a pano- ramic view of the premises, as well as by many other interesting pictures. Throughout he 80.pa o book, a xe i al attention has been paid to illustration, The price of this special issue to non - subscribers is 50c.

Colwell, of Walkerville, Ont, was stricken down with La Grippe in 1906 and it left him in very bad condition. He says: I was all run down and bordering on Consumption. I could not sleep atn;ghts, had awful sweats, and coughed nearly the whole time. This is how I was when I began to take Psyching, in a low nervous state; but from the first bottle 1 began to improve. Itdid marvels for me and brought me back to health in no time, making a new Man of me. It fortifies the body against the attacks of La Grippe and is a sure pre.. ventative. I always take Psychine if I feel a cold coming on and it puts me right in no time." NO HOME SHOULD DE WITHOUT PSYCHINE For Sale by all Druggists end Dealers, 50e. & $1 por bottle. Dr. T. A.
