It is notorious that the young Cana-
dian, when he crosses into the republic,
is soon assimilated, and becomes politi.
catty indistinguishable from the people
he lives amongst. May not this fact be
due to the colorless or defective char•
atter of his historical training? Con-
sidering the short period it covers, there
are few histories more fascinating or
inspiring than that of Canada and there
surely could be no better means of culti-
vating a true national spirit than a
thorough grounding in this branch of
knowledge.--Wiudor Record.
That the local option law will be any
more stable and lasting than other pro-
hibitory by-laws time alone can tell,
but it seems doubtful. Many munici-
palities adopted the Donkin act, only
afterwards to repeal it, and many muni-
cipalities also adopted the Scott act and
afterwards repealed it, St. Thomas being
among the cumber. The two principal
causes for the repeal of these acts here
were that the law was not enforced and
things were worse than they wore be-
fore. It was liberty, not license. The
other reason was that under prohibition
Symptoms of
Nerve Disorders
TWITCHING of the nerve, and
muscles, sensitiveness to light,
sound and motion, jerking of the
limbs, sleeplessness, headache and
indigestion -such are some of the
symptoms of exhausted nerves.
Because there is no acute pain
people do not always realize the
seriousness of nervous diseases.
They do not think of the helpless-
ness of body and mind, which is the
result of neglecting such ailments.
Because of its extraordinary con-
trol over diseases of the nerves Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food has come to be
considered the one great treatment
for disorders of this nature. Not
only does it revitalize the wasted
nerve cells, but actually forms firm
flesh and tissue, builds up the
system and sends new vigor and
vitality to every organ or the body.

The most productive farms of the
country are those of the Northwest.
This is not because the natural condi.
tious are more favorable in that section
than in others -the South, for instanoe-

a stickler for system in his farming. He
dote nothing by guesswork. He keeps
books and takes a strict accouutiug of
expenses and income. He knows what
it costs him to grow his crops and when
he leas marketed them he knows what
his profit or loss has been. He knows

METHODS OF USURERS.
On Which the Light of Publicity"
is now Being Thrown.
Toronto Saturday Night: "The
"light of publicity" is at present being
thowu upon the methods usurers of this
and other Canadian cities. A Montreal
newspaper, after conducting an invest',
gatiou of its owu in the matter, says
that there are, at a conservative esti-
mate, ten thousand slaves in the grip of
the usurers in that city, and calls upon
the Dominion Government -or rather
on the House of Commons as a whole -
to come to the rescue 01 those
and all others throughout the country,
who are at the mercy of the loan leeches.
A local newspaper has this week given
the details of several pitiful cases of
hardship and distress caused by the re-
voltingly cruel and grasping methods of
relentless money -lenders. It is also said
that bogus writs and bogus bailiffs are
employed to enforce even from women
the payment of usurious amounts Of
interest to these blood -suckers. The
slick operators of loan joints in cities
are, of course, the most dangerous
sharks of this class, but they are not the
only ones in the country who grow rich
preying upon the poor. Every town and
village has its little group of money-
lenders, some of them possessed by a
spirit of greed that any professional
shark in Toronto or Montreal would find
useful to him in his business, Scatter.
ed over every township are men who
have accumulated a considerable fortune,
not out of farming, but out of farmers,
A good many "retired" store -keepers,
farmers, etc., who are classed on their
local voters' lists as "gentlemen," have
not retired at all, they have merely
ehanged their occupations and find
"note shaving" much more profitable
than growing wheat or stock or selling
goods over the counter.
Of course ail the people in the country
who loan money are not usurers -far
front it -but at the same time the prac-
tice of advancing sums to needy people at
rates of interest little short of robbery is
all too common. It the law cannot
ettrecbnally prevent such loans being
made it should refuse to aid in the en•
forcement of any claim or chattel mort-
gage which involved the payment of an
unfair rate oS interest. The real ne-
uter as a general thing, does not inform
his "ciient ae to the rate of interest he
is charging him; he tnerely names an
amount. This Should be made an of-
fenee, and all loans of thin irregular

THE INDIRECT VALUE OF DAIRY-
ING.
In considering the profits of dairying,
the great value that accrues to the ter-
tility of the land is otten overlooked. I
am in a position to give a good illustra-
tion of the great value of dairying, in-
volving the keeping of a large quantity
of stook on a farm and manufacturing all
that is grown on it. The Annandale
Farm, Tillsonburg, Ont , is a good ex-
ample of what can be done in building
and euriohing a rather light soil. Before
coming to this farm, I was told by an
old resident, who was himself a progres-
sive farmer, that he remembered the
time when he or I would hardly accept
the farm as a gift, and I vans also told
by several who had some knowledge of
sandy loam, that I could not grow much
of a crop on the Annandale Farm. How-
ever, knowing myself the increase in
richness caused by keeping stock on a
farm, and that Anuaudale Farm had
been heavily stooked for a good many
years, I had uo doubt that I should be
able to grow at least a reasonable amount
of stock food Taking, then. this farm
with the naturally light soil, but by no
means a poor sandy land, a few facts and
figures as to what we have grown the
past year will do more to convince as to
the great increase in richness than all
the theories in the world. Our Drops are
all gathered for 1905, and I find that we
have provided for the keep of our stock,
by putting up 125 to 150 tons of hay, and
filled three silos with corn, over 500 tons.
We harvested 3,500 bushels of stock sug-
ar beets and mangles, and sold to a sugar
factory 030 bushels of the sugar variety.
Besides filling the three silos with corn,
we have 1,100 bushels of ear corn, with
all the fodder belonging to that quantity.
No corn was taken off what was put in
the silos. We threshed 3,000 bushels of
oats, 450 bushels wheat, 350 bushels peas
and 100 bushels rye. Have sold three
carloads of potatoes, over 1,500 bushels,
and 200 bushels of early potatoes. All
the grain but wheat is fed on the farm,
and considerable bran and shorts are al-
so purchased, from which it will be seen
that there is very little fertility goes off
the farm the sales beiug from the in-
crease of stock and the milk. About 100
head of cattle and 200 to 300 pigs are on
the farm all the time. About 200 to 300
bacon hogs are sold off the farm yearly,
as well as the increase of the Iarge herd
of pure-bred Holsteins. -Geo. Rice.

Poultry raising pays.
People who tell yon that there is no
money in raising chicks may have tried
to make money in the business by using
setting hens as hatchers, and they
might as well have tried to locate a
gold mine in the cabbage patch. The
business of a hen is -to lay eggs. As
@:etcher and brooder she is out-
:'.� sed. That's the business of the
Chatham Incubator and Brooder, and
they do it perfectly' and successfully.
The poultry business, properly con-
ducted, pays far better than any other
business for the amount of time and
money invested.
Thousands of poultry -raisers -men
and women all over Canada and the
United States -have proved to their
satisfaction that it is profitable to raise
chicks with the

"Illy first hatch cane oft, I got
170 fine chicks from 190 eggs. Who
can beat that for the first trial, and
so early in the spring. I am well
pleased with incubator, and if I
could not get another money could
not buy it from me. Every farmer
should have it No. 3 Chatham Incu-

"The incubator you furnished mo
works exceedingly well. It is easily
operated, and only needs about 10
minutes attention every day. R.

The Chatham Incubator and Brooder
is honestly constructed. There is no
humbug about it. Every inch ofmaterial
is thoroughly tested, the machine is
built on right principles, the insulation
is perfect, therdiometcr reliable, and
the workmanship the best.
The Chatham Incubator and Brooder

READING HABITS

The mind Is a very delicate, compli-
eated piece of mechanism, and, al-
though glade to do a certain kind of
work marvelously well, yet, when put
to an entirely different use, its effi-
ciency is ruined, just as the delicate
machinery intended for producing fine
watch parts would be completely spoil-
ed for this purpose if used to stake
clock parts. When the mind becomes
deflected to a certain extent from its
normal condition by the vicious read-
ing habit, it diverges more and more
and rarely goes back to the normal.
By desultory habits of reading and
lack of system you confuse the mind
with a large mass of unclassified mate,
tial. lou pick up a book Intl read a
few pages and then pick up another
one and then go from that to a paper
or magazine. This puts the mind in a
chaotic state, because you let every-
thing run into the mental reservoir
without any order or definite plans.
Systemless reading, is profitless. Yon
cannot gain knowieige of a friend or
prize bis friendship by a hasty first
impression, so in reading a hook you
cannot gain everlasting good Le skim-
ming over its contents or by reading
a few pages one night and then put-
ting it on a shelf to gather dust until
you get time to read it again. Every-
thing comes out of the hind as It went
in, and it it does not enter in an or-
derly manner it will come out in chaos.

EARLY DINING.
In Ancient E>agland It Was at 10
a'Clock In the Forenoon.
The ordinary hour for dinner in Eng-
land
ngland in the fifteenth century appears
to have been 10 o'clock in the forenoon.
In the larger baronial castles a lavish
hospitality was practiced, but even
among the lower ranks, says a con-
temporary, the "bona fide traveler"
could always be sure of it welcome and
the best provision that the house af-
forded. To shut the door upon the
houseless stranger was an offense
Which the church would not readily
condone, and it was remarked of more
than one who had erred in this respect
that luck ever afterward deserted him.
The approach of tate meal was often
announced by the blowing of borns, so
that wayfarers might hasten their
movements.
Curiously enough, grace was said be-
fore the tables were lairs, and the
guests appear to have bad their appe-
tites whetted In a most salutary man-
ner by regarding the movements of the
attendants as they spread the clothe
and bronght in saltcellars, drinking
vessels and other necessaries.
wait on others at table was considered
rather honorable than otherwise, and
the story of the Black Prince attend-
ing to the wants of the captive French
monarch contains nothing extraordi-
nary. In the households of the great
the carvers and those who presented
the wine at table were never less than
esquires and often nobles and barons.

Irritant Drugs'.
The use of tea and coffee, says an
authority, who includes tobacco as well,
Is injurious and ought not to be in-
dulged in by those who seek to place
themselves in the best condition to re-
sist disease, because they belong in the
category of irritant drugs. These, by
rousing the vital forces to get rid of
the poison, provoke the action which is
tuistakingly supposed to be an added
force, whereas this action is only one
of self preservation. It will readily
be seen bow much supporting and
building up of the system there are In
such substances by trying to live on
them to the exclusion of oilier things.

The ShilIitrah.
The shillalah, accounted Ireland's na-
tional weapon of defense, was origInal-
ly a common blackthorn stick, but in
modern times it has been replaced by
the more wiry ash sapling. The real
shilialah is a young sboot of the sloe
shrub or blackthorn pulled by the root
from the crevice of some rock. After
being trimmed It is placed fd the smoke
of turf neat, which softens the hard
fiber, and when it has reached a con-
dition as piiant as rubber It is straight-
ened.
