Sirs—I was a terrible sufferer from rheumatism for months. I had it in my feet and ankles and at last it reached my heart. I could scarcely walk around the house. I doctored for a long time and spent money on every kind of medi- cine any one would tell me of. I be- came so discouraged I did not care what became of me. A gentleman was in and advised me to get a bottle of your Rheumatic Cure and I must say I had very little faith when I sent for it, but and had could all I co d do was to tryit, only taken half a bottle when I saw a change for the better and when I had taken the second bottle I was cured. I tell to everyone what it has done for me and have given your address so they could send. I feel I shall, never be able to praise your wonderful cure enough for I firmly believe I would have been a cripple if I had not received your cure when I did. Trusting you will accept my humble thanks for what you have done for me. I remain, Yours truly, MIss A. L. BOLLEN.

Nelson Monteith has an ex- cellent opinion of the Ontario , wheat clop this season, which he expects to be quite equal to the big harvest of 1000 and 1902, when the returns were 23,400,000, and 20,200,000 bushels re- spectively. The oat crop also is likely to be equal to the crop of 1903 when the yield was 109,900,000 bushels. ---file ]Winnipeg branch of the Bank of Commerce estimates the western wheat crop at 82,000,i 04) bushels and the oat crop at 73,000,000 bushels, ---Andrew Semple, a former Member of the House of Commons, basing his statement en his own experience, gives some definite information as to the legitimate cost of conducting an elec- tion campaign in n rural constituency. For a man who has his own horse and rig he places the personal expense at $3 per day for forty days, or $120 tall told. Where a man has not his own horse lie puts the cost at $3 per day more, or a total of $240, In ad- dition to this there is the cost of halls, printing, etc., which should not bring the aggregate much, if any, above $350. Winnipeg, (lug. 10.—The C,P.R. to- day issued the fullest and most inform- ing and interesting crop report of the entire season. The condition of the crops, damage (i£ any), probable elate of the harvest, and in some instances the estiinated yield per acre, are given for 130 districts, representative of the general condition throughout the wheat zone of the Canadian west. The report, now so near to the time of harvest, is very favorable. Wheat is growing splendidly, and heads are filling well. Local hailfalls have oc- curred in isolated districts, however, and in a few instances the losses to in- dividuals will he heavy. The Barn- ardo farm lost nearly its whole crop. The territory where the hail is chiefly reported includes the Broadview sec- tion, along the main lino ; the Glen- boro' district on the Souris section, which loses 70,000 bushels of wheat; Binsea.rth, on the Yorkton section, where 500 acres were hailed out ; Bel - carves, on the Pheasant Hills branch. The whole crop, however, is unaffect- ed by these , local losses, and the promise is generally splendid. How To Get Consumption. Ninety per cent. of the "lungers" contract constnnption by allowing power of resistance to fall so low that a favorable condition for the develop- ment of the baccilli is provided. In a healthy system consumption can't take root. But where there is weak- ness and debility, therere you find tuberculosis. For developing strength and building up the weak, nothing equals Fer•rozone. It makes the blood. nutritious, the appetite it gives is sur- prising. Just what the man verging 'd on consumption needs,—that's Fer- rozone. If tired and weak don't put off. Fifty cents buys a box of fifty tablets—at all dealers. W, F.

The Horse School of Telegraphy Cincinnati, Ohio Btfib t to N. Y. Alanta, Ga. LaCrosse, Wis. Texarkana, Tex. San Francisco, Cal. Guelph, August 9.—An exciting episode occurred this morning in Guelph Township when, armed with a heavy horsewhip, a farmer. named Richard Card defied the sheriff and his inen, the C. P. R. authorities and employes to put a spade into his land. In building the Guelph-to-Goderich line the Company require to cross some land owned by Mr. Card. He refused the price offered him, and for some time there has been litigation over the platter. Finally, an order of expropriation was secured from the conrt, and this morning the climax was reached when the men attempted to start operations on the property in question. Sheriff Allan took assist- ance out- to see that the order of the court was obeyed, but even this did not dismay the doughty farmer. He drove up and down the road in a bug- gy and used a heavy whip to try and keep the men back. That he used the whip with effect is evidenced by the fact that two of the men received painful cuts. Finally, the sheriff and his men prevailed, and Mr. Card was brought into the city this afternoon, where he must remain until he gives some account of his action.

Maxwell High Art Tailor Itillugham C110081NO A DAIRY COW. A FROLIC IN MEXICO rotate Trott Indlcate Milk Producing/ kussUtle'. In the year book of the Idaho state farmers' institutes C. L, Smith de- scribes au ideal dairy cow thus. She should have a big mouth, thick lip, large nostrils, .a smooth dished face, Wide forehead; large, prominent eyes; thin on neck and shoulder, but widen- ing down; fore legs wide apart, so wide that one might crawl between thein; full chest; sharp back, wedge-like; backbone rather prominent, ribs to start away from the backbone—that is, slant away and have two ribs right over small of barrel, far enough apart so that the open flat hand will go in between them, This Is n particularly good indication of a large milker. The swell of ribs, paunch, should be large, with a heavy muscle running from hip joint diagonally down across the abdomen; cow should be broad on hip and well developed over ]tip, hind legs well apart, with good show of ud- der back of ,them, exteudiug well up, udder also to begin well in front; but discard a cow that has a meaty, fleshy udder, the ideal formation being a cir- cle shape, with the four teats well apart and square on end, and this in- dicates an easy milker, while where the udder is well quartered up and the teats are big at shoulder and pointed it denotes a hard milker, The vein that runs from the udder to the heart should be large. If this vein is small and straight, look out. On the contrary, if big and crooked, it indi- cates a heavy milker. Notwithstanding all these "good signs" the final test is the milk pail and the Babcock test, be- cause there are exceptions to all rules, Mottle. In Butter. During the fall and winter we more frequently hear complaints of mottles in butter. This may in a measure be duo to too low churning temperature, says C. Larsen in Creamery Journal. At a low churning temperature in a cool room the butter usually comes in a firm condition. In such a condition butter takes salt with difficulty. It is essential to work it more in order to get the salt evenly distributed and dis- solved. Such an excessive amount of working while butter is in a hard con- dition causes an undue amount of wa- ter to be expressed, thus making the condition for dissolving sufficient salt more unfavorable, besides lessening the overrun without improving its commercial value. Clinton. The Stapleton block is turning out coarse salt. It is expected that the plant will be in full operation during the coming fall and winter. The Dupont Trophy Clip was com- pleted for last week by members of tlic Clinton Gun Club, and won by E. Blewitt, with a score o; 20 out of a possible 25. Mrs. Ralph Tiplady, of the base line, Hullett, boasts of three aunts, living, whose united ages are nearly 280 years, an average of over 92 years ; this is a pretty good record for longevity. Quite a large quantity of new wheat has allea1y been delivered at Fairs' all S ' and the elevator. The quality is bet- ter than expected by some, all as yet marketed going standard. Some barley was delivered last week. It will be ten years this fall since the House of Refuge was opened, and not since the first year has the num- ber of inmates fallen below 70 ; at present there are over 80 inmates, some of whom carne in with the 40 who were admitted the first week the Honse was opened.

In the construction it is estimated that 1175 loads of gravel and 250 barrels of cement will be required. The work will be rushed with all possible dle- spatclt and the Company hopes to be operating in its new factory before the end of the year. They purpose giving employment to seventy-five hands. The cost of the building is placed at 1$0,000. Facts About Dairy Cattle. There are vast differences in the effi- ciency and profit derived from indi- vidual dairy cows. One cow may pro- duce more than twice as much butter fat in a year as another on exactly the same feed. A good cow well cared for may produce five times as much. as the average cow. Nearly all dairymen keep a portion of their herd at an actual loss. Many keep cows that pay only half as much a bushel for the grain con- sumed as other cows in the same herd. The Milk Machine. The cow is a machine for the manu- facture of milk and butter, and the stomach is the best and only labora- tory in the world for the purpose. I: t r THE BUTTEHMAKEK The best churning temperature can only be determined by trial and care• ful observation, says L. W. Light).- in National Stockman. It may vary from 52 to 64 degrees. The nature of the milk, the size of the butter globules, h cows eat and man the feed the c w y other factors will determine the churning temperature. Ripen the cream proper- ly and try, say, 56 degrees. The butter should not come in less than thirty to forty -flue minutes churning, and when it conies the granules should be fairly firm, so they will not readily coalesce or smash together. If the temperature is too high the little granules will not keep their shape and it is impossible to wash out the buttermilk, and in our at- tempt to work it out we ruin the grain of the butter and the butter will retain too large a per cent of moisture and will go off flavor quickly. It is gener- ally n good rule to churn at as low a temperature as is possible to get the butter within one hour's churning where the churn is not overfilled. Churning and Working. In the churning, washing and work- ing of butter considerable good sense and skill are required. The cream should be brought to such a tempera- ture that it will churn in a reasonable length of time—from forty-five to sixty minutes—producing granules about the size of wheat grains and more or less irregular in form. The buttermilk can be readily washed from such butter, BREAKING THE PINATA DURING THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL Thle Mirth Provoking I'aItime Its the (;rent Soolel and Vim 11lakiuii; Fea• ture of the ,Season-three**Ag' xnd I itiing the 011a.. Christmas in Mexico is not the typ• heal Christmas of cold and snow and Ice, but one of bright, warm suusbino, cloudless blue skies, flowers in profu• sion, trees iu full foliage and a life of out of doors. At least' a week before Christmas In the principal streets of 1►fexico arches are erected from sidewalk to sidewalk, festooned with wreaths of flowers and bunting in the national colors—red, white and green. Under the arches booths are erected, and every toy man. ufactured in Mexico is on sale. In every Mexican house great prep- arations are made for what is called the "pinata." )i very child begs and scrapes and saves the centavos for weeks and months ahead, All kinds of articles are made especially for this ceremony, and every family vies with its friends and neighbors to have its pinna more beautiful and fanciful than any one else's. The pinata is really an earthenware utensil which is in general use for cook- ing. It is called in common parlance an olla and is of brown pottery some- thing like the old fashioned earthen- ware crocks used in the north before enamel ware became the fad. The pinatas are large or small, as the purse of the purchaser permits. They are round, pot bellied and very large at the top. They are sold from door to door on the streets and in the markets. They cost only 10, 15 or 20 centavos, but the olla is the least expensive part of the game. The body of the olla for a woman is covered with tissue paper; then a crin- kled paper dress is fashioned; then a bodice is built up draped to represent a loose white waist, and above this is placed a false face. The hair is made with black paper, braided into one long ' plait at the back, as the women wear their hair in Mexico. Sometimes a white tehuana headdress is made of the lace paper used by bakers and confec- tioners. A flower pinata is decorated with large paper flowers in every color of the 1 ahnbow. Red, white and green rib- bons, forming long streamers, and sil- ver and gold tinsel, glass halls and col- ored lights all help to make the flower pinnta very beautiful. The possibilities for dressing these pinatas are endless. In a large family the mother and daughters have their own pinatas, and great secrecy is maintained in the dec- oration of the olla. It is the aim of each to devise as original a dressing for the pinata as possible, and it can be made a very extravagant ornament. In the families of wealthy Mexicans the luxtu•y of the pinata often mounts into thousands. After the olla is decorated to the taste it is filled. The filling consists of pea- nuts, hazel nuts, hard candies, like marbles, and all kinds of Mexican dulces. These dukes are candied fruits, nut paste, etc. Christmas night the pinatas are car- ried in great state into the sada and suspended from the ceiling one at a time. All the relatives of the family are present, and as cousins of the fifth and sixth degree are recognized and children are very numerous there is generally a large gathering. They all sit very demurely on chairs ranged in a row around the walls of the room. One person is constituted master of son daughter the eldc t .,o ceremonies, g of the house. Ile or she stands in the middle of the room. Near by is a jar or umbrella stand filled with apisaco canes or sticks. When everything is ready a child or grown person is se- lected and called by name. She comes forward and is blindfolded. Then the fun begins. The person blindfolded is turned round and round until she loses alt knowledge of where the pinata hangs. A. cane is put in her hands, and she is told to hit the pinata and try to -break it. She is given three chances. If she fails to hit it she sits down amid laughter and ridicule. If she hits It without breaking it she is entitled to a small prize. Aud so it goes on, one after another being called up, blindfolded and given a cane and three chances to break the pinata. Finally one more fortunate than the rest succeeds in giving a hard enough blow, and, crash, the pinata falls to the grounds in hundreds of bits, and its contents are scattered far and wide. A wild scramble ensues. Everybody rushes forward to gather as much of the spilled contents as possible. The fortunate breaker of the pinata and this will add very materially to its gets n handsome prize and is awarded keeping quality; also such butter, be- the seat of honor.
