SPAR LING DAUPHIN — MAN. 1 Winnipeg's Natal Day. Aug. 30th was the centenary of Winnipeg's real natal day. One hun- dred years ago the band of adventur- ers and pioneers. known as Lord Sel- kirk's Orkney colonists, reached the banks of the Red River and founded a settlement. September Weather. For September we outline Prof. flicks' predictions :—By the 5th, gath- ering storms will appear in western sections, and during the Gtb, 7th and 8th, rain, and threatening conditions generally, will pass in regular, pro- gressive order eastwardly across the country. A. reactionary period in- volves the 10th, 11th and 12.h, the moon being in perigee on the 9th, new on the 10th, and on the equator on the lith. It must also be renhembered that a maximum crisis of electrical and magnetic unrest falls each year from about the Sch to the 15th of September; central on 11th. This will be aggravated by the added force of the moon's conjunction with the earth and sun on the 10th. Look for great barometric fluctuations, warm weather and unusual manifestations of electricity and magnetism. The crisis of this period will fall on and near the 10th, llth and 12th. Pro- bable frosts from 12th to 15th. A regal tr storm period is central on the 26th, covering the 15th to the 20th, The barometer will fall, temperature rise and renewed storms of rain and wiaddl will pass eastwardly across the count ey during this period. The autumnal equinox about the 21st is likely to cause a prolonged time of threatening weather, with many violent storms, A regular storm period extends from the 26th to October let. The Meresiry period comes in at this time, the :moon is full, on the celestial equator, and at an eclipse node on the 26th, Hurricane's in the south, and inland astorme generally, are to be expected.

CANNING VEGETABLES. How very few women there are who pretend to have vegetables during th winter months of then” own canning I can well remember when cannin vegetables in ,the home was not to b thought of, except by the use of acid Only tomatoes could be kept in th ordinary way. 1 use a glass jar, either pint o quart, and prefer the kind with glass top, rubber ring and a wir spring. There are different brands o the market which are similar, I hav also need the common screw top wit success. Whatever kind is used i nnist be thoroughly cleansed thud sterilized; always use new rubbers and good tops. Corn, beans, and peas are the only kinds I have ever tried, and all kept perfectly and the same directions will answer for all different kinds of vege- tables. The vegetables to be canned must be young and tender and freshly picked in order to have a good flavor. Pack the jar full ; add a teaspoon of salt to a gthart j•r ; then fill up the jar with cold water; pat on the rub- ber, then the top ; but not tight, mere- ly to hold it on good. I use a bucket having a tight lid, which holds three quart jars, or four pint jars. I fold a clean cloth several thick- nesses and put in the bottom of the bucket, set in the jars, pour cold water into the bucket until about three inches deep, just enough to form steam, and to prevent the bucket from boiling dry. METHOD of SESLINCi-. Cover the bucket„tightly, bring to a boil, and boil for one hour, Then I uncover the bucket, and as soon as the steam has escaped. I tighten the lids, but leave stand in the bucket un- til next day. Then I loosen the tops, and as some of the water has evapor- ated, I fill them with water, previous- ly boiled and cooled. Leave tops loose and set on the stove and boil an hour as on preceding day. Again tighten the tops. On the third day repeat the operation. Each time after tighten- ingr'the lid and when cool enough to handle, 1 try them by turning them over to be assured that they are per- fectly airtight. And after the last boiling I turn upside down and leave over night; and then put away in a dark place for future use. THE WINGIIAM ADVANCE ELECTRIC WATER FINDER. CARE OF SHEEP IN ,nuelpu Hl(Guelph herald) Prof. W. ti. Day has made further o tests with tile new Mansfield. Water- ” tinder recently purchased by the De- g partmeut a: f Phyaaics at the Ontario e Agricultural College. The weather Wats tie 11 more favorable than a et e Wednesday, though rather windy at times. r The instrument is a small one, a divided into two chambers, an upper e and a lower. In the upper chamber n there is a long, slender, exceedingly e light rnagnetie needle, I3r'neath the h needle is a scale graduated in deg, ees. t When the needle is not in the in- strument but is suspended on a I ivot some distance away, it points to the north like a compass. In the lower chamber there is a delicate induction coil. When the instrument is set in proper position and the needle placed on its pivot in the upper ohauiber, and the padded door closed so no air currents can effect it, the needle comes to rest, and there we should expect it to remain like the needle of a compass, But it doesn't always do so. Sometimes it begins to swing back and forth. At spring No, 3 on the water- works farm near Arkell, the oscil lations reached as much as (Ii degrees at one point. These oscillations indi- cate underground water flow, the makers of the instrument claim, and the object of the present tests was not to discover unknown supplies of water, but to ascertain if the needle would actually oscillate in the vicinity of a known underground stream. It is a fact well known to science that electrical currents are continually surging through the earth, and that the air is constantly becoming charged with electricity. These influences are most active during bright, calm, dry days, which are so rare just now. As water is a better conductor than earth or rock, the earth currents, fol- lowing the paths of least resistance, flow along the streams of water. These currents induce others in the coil of the instrument strong enough to affect the very sensitive needle above the coil, and cause it to oscil- late. Prof, Day intends to conduct fur- ther tests when more suitable weather conditions prevail. Several of these instruments are at work in Manitoba and good wells are being found on farms that have been without water as long as twenty- five and thirty years. Methinks I hear .some say, "Now, that is a whole lot of trouble." But it is worth all the time and trouble it takes. For think of all the good dishes of green vegetables you can have during the winter and mostly from vegetables which would other- wise go to waste. It pays to plant plenty in order to have an extra supply for canning, and those planted late in the season are as good as any. It is such a satisfac- tion to have plenty, and to know that it was your own doing, These home canned vegetables are always in read- iness at all tittles and occasions. Nearly all kinds of vegetables can be canned in this way. However, it is best not to venture too much at first, but if not successful, rest assured that the trouble is from defective cans, or something has been done amiss, as the process is right. No More Dandruff, Fall ing Hair, Scaip Itch. Men and women—do you want a splendid head of luxuriant hair free from scalp itch and dandruff? Do you want hair so bewitchingly radiant that it compels the admiration of all who see it Do you want a scalp as immaculate- ly clean and bright as a newly minted coin ? If you do, get a 50 cent bottle of PARISIAN Sage to -day. J. W. Mc- ICibbon sells it; so do dealers every- where. The girl with the Auburn hair on every cartoon and bottle—Ask for PARISIAN Sage and see that you get it, SOFT FOOD AND EGG -LAYING A large nubrtber of experiments have been carried out from time to time, with the object of ascertaining how poultry can best be fed in order to stimulate egg production, and in some of these experiments it has been clear- ly demonstrated that two lots of poultry, representing totally distinct breeds, and being fed only on dry grain, consumed a good deal more food, costing a great deal more, than did two similar lots of poultry fed al- most exclusively on soft food, that is to say, on meal moistened with h of water. It has also been shown that the average poultry fed on soft food all through the year, with grain given to thence only at night, produce eggs at a much larger rate than poultry kept under exactly similar conditions, but fed only on dry grain could produce. There is, of course, an art in pre- paring soft food of the right type, and that art consists in properly and scientificially mixing the food so that its composition shall be of the sort that will encourage egg development. Generally speaking, a mixture of equal parts of coarsely -ground oats, pear meal, middlings or thirds, and barley meal, with 20 percent. of fibre meat or meat and bone finely an gra* lated, will give the best possible re- sults in egg production. Of courage, a little experience is necessary, and the feeding n°mgt be adjusted aioeoirding to local condition, tftne of year, breed of poultry, and other consfderationaa but, on the whole, the mixture intli- oated will be found suitable for gen- eral use in order to produee art abund- anee of eggs. HOMELY COUNSEL. It isn't worth while to fret, dear, To walk as behind a hearse. No matter how vexing things may be, They easily might be worse ; And the time you spend complaining And groaning About the load Would better be given to going on, And pressing along the road. I've trodden the hill myself, dear— 'Tis the tripping tongue can preach, But though silence is sometimes golden, child, As oft there is grace in speech— And 1 see, from my higher level, 'Tis less the path than the pace That wearies the back and dims the eye And writes the lines on the face, There are vexing cares enough, dear, And to spare, when all is told ; And love must mourn its losses, And the cheek's soft bloom grow old ; But the spell of the craven spirit Turns blessing into curse, • While the bold heart meets the trouble That easily might be worse. So smile at each disaster That will presently pass away, And believe a bright to -morrow Will follow the dark to -day, There's nothing gained by fretting ; Gather your strength anew, And step -by step go onward, dear, Let the skies be gray or blue. Temperance In Quebec. Quebec province is doing its share in temperance reform though little is being said about it. Whereas in 1005 there were 70 licenses issued for each 80,000 of population, in 1012 the pro- portion stands 56 licenses for each 00,- 000. In addition to this there are quite anumber of municipalities, which by measures similar to local option in Ontario, have done away with bars altogether, The • Roman Catholic Church, under the leader- ship of Archibald Bruclhesi of Mon- treal and Archbishop Begin of Q'Iebec has been the main factor in bringing about these remarkable results. Boys Who Became Great. A Swedish boy fell out of a window and was badly hurt, but with Clenched lips he kept back the cry of pain. The Xing Gustavus Adolphus, who saw the boy fall, prophesied that the boy would tneke a man for an emergency. Ile did, for he became the famous General Bauer. A boy used to crush the flowers to get their color, and painted the white side of his father's cottage in the Tyrol with all sorts of pictures which the mountaineers gaz- ed at as wonderful. Ile wag the great artist Titian. An old painter watched a little fellow who amused himself making drawings of his pot and brushes, easel and stool, and said, "That boy will beat me eome day." He did ; for he was Michael Angelo. A. German boy was reading a Moody and+thunder novel. Right in the midst of It he naid to himself, "Now this will never do. 1 get too hatch excited over It. 1 can't Andy no well afters It. So here goes t" And he flung the book into the river. Ile was Fldhte, the great philosopher, WARM WEATHER, it the owner of a flock of sheet/ knew that some enemy were coining foto this flock and mutilating the sheen by eat• ing ruw flesh sores under the wool he would stop everything and remedy the trouble, writes J. 0. Courter in Form and Fireside. Sueh is happening every day during fly time, in many farm flocks, Last summer l visited a (leek of sheep. As soon as 1 saw them 1 knew my neighbor was suffering loss irotu maggots in his lambs. Isere and there among the, flock were young lambs standing with heads down, twisting and squirming in an endeavor to scratch the soiled wool off their tall beads. 'My friend did not realize It, but that was the maggot clanger signal. We got busy at once to fight the pests. lie bought a 4 or 5 per cent so- lution of a crude coal tar dip and a Photo by American Press Association. The Southdown is one of the pop- ular mutton breeds of sheep and Is quite extensively bred. The breed is hornless. Tho face and legs are of a gray -brown color. This breed furnishes a fleece of good quality, weighing from"six to seven pounds. The wool is rather short, but of medium fine texture. The mutton is of excellent gaaalltp. brush, shears and syringe. Each lamb affected was caught and shorn of all dirty foul wool around the tail end. Tills exposed the enemy, and certainly they were there legion, Great masses of wriggling, crawling maggots were work -fug. Some were already deep un- der the skin, some imbedded only in the wool. Their work in the wool fretted the lambs thin. When they bored deeply into the flash matters be- came serious. In fact, one little lamb soon died from bis maggot wounds. The stiff brush soon scattered them out of the wool after the applivation of the dip had sickened them and caused them to loosen their hold. In the flesh wounds the syringe or squirt gun washed them out. Those deeply imbedded in the flesh caused some trouble, but by tilling the wound full• of the fluid and then working around into all the "pockets" with a blunt probe they were dislodged. The smell of the dip prevented later infection In the wool, and clean pine tar kept the flesh wounds clean. If we had not had the coaltar dip a strong brine would have done fairly well or a solution of five parts water and one part turpentine or kerosene. These should be washed out, however, for they might irritate the skin. A lard and sulphur and turpentine salve may also be used. Value of a Good Sire. A correspondent to the Pacific Dairy Review writes: "It is becoming quite a common thing for good breeders of dairy stock to pay from $500 to sev- eral thousand dollars for sires to bead their herds. Such prices may seem to be extravagant, but by a little caicula• tion It can be seeu that the investment is a good one. Supposing a man has a herd of forty or fifty cows and buys a sire costing $1,000. Such a sire would certainly increase the value of every calf from $20 to $100 each over a sire that he might buy for, say, $75 or $100. We think that a fair average of advance would be $50 per calf, and presuming the breeder would have for- ty calves, the increase of value in one season alone to the calves would be. $2,000, so that the breeder would make a profit on the investment of 100 per cent the first year and still have the sire left. The following year he would again be worth $2,000 to his owner. and so on for many years. if this es- timate looks high to your readers you are welcome to cut it in two and then tell us if you consider the investment a profitable one." Caring For Milk in Summer. In order to properly care for milk during the summer time a milk house containing a tank, preferably of ce- ment, Is absolutely essential. Cool the night's milk as quickly as possible to CO degrees by placing the cans in the tank of cold water. As soon as milking is finished put the covers on the cans, 11filk does not require dipping or pouting. Immediate cool• ing every night is the important point. If one cannot afford a milk house he should at least provide n tank or tub in which to plhce the cans end stir• round these with cold water. If Ice is available use it in the water; It not change the water a sufficient number of times to insure proper cooling. Use a thermometer. It costs very little and will pay. Faults In 1 -tog Breeding. It Is not ouly necessary to have pure breeding stock, but It to just as Im• portant that the proper type be select- ed and the aninials well mated. Buy - Ing pure breeding hogs of every 'type and tnising these types. In breeding operations will produce animals but little better than souls when sold tor breeding atnttnais. Of courage they feed out better, but it the proper type is not maintained the real breeders de net Want them. S7''. THOMAS. ONT. Unsurpassed for residential education.
