Good fences are cheap. Every furter should sow some oats. They make too good a feed not to have on the farm, and what will take the place of them for the work horse and growing colts? Sow some oats. Go slow at first when you begin work- ing the land this spring, the horses are not used to work. Many a horse is hurt the first days of spring, because the farm• er gets in a hurry. Get the manure hauled out on the laud as soon as you can. D. not wait u eat fall, bat let this year's orop get the good of it. If you wait until fall, you l I fe j .tet ou0 ye.tr's profit. City people may say that country life is le•n:some, etc , but if the truth were known there are more in the oity who want to get out than there are in the country who want city life. Do not let other people discourage yon. There is money in all brunches of farm- ing if you go at it right. Of course all gave there ups and downs, and if we figure to avoid these we gain that much. Good reading is so chea now that you cannot afford to be without.

What preparations are you making for the poultry this year. If the farmers would give a little more attention to tho poultry yard, and if needs bo, a little less to hogs, he would have a better profit. The rich farmer should practice econ- omy as much as the poor man, hat it is poor economy for the farmer to have money lying in the bank and his hay rottiug in the field -all for the want of a barn.

Some Toronto Reformers have been agitating the question of holding a Pro- vincial convention of the party this fall, but have finally decided to take no ac- tion at present. This is wise. It is only a year and a half since a similar conven- tion was held, and the result of the Pro- vincial general elections which followed do not Dedicate that it did much good. - Brantford Expositor.

Already Chief Justice Fitzpatrick has become in the eyes of the Opposition a man of surpassing ability of whose pro- bity no man can doubt.

Isn't it pitifully insincere? -Hamilton Times. The truth of the matter is the bottom has fallen out of the charges against the Government in so far as its connection with the North Atlantic Trading Com- pany is concerned.

He says: - •I have been a great sufferer from Dyspepsia for many years. I have been treated by local doo- tors and have taken nearly all the adver- tised remedies with only temporary relief, if any at all, but since using Anti -Pill I can eat anything the same as when a boy.

(Brantford Expositor) Finance Minister Fielding, in his bud- get speech, was able =to present a most favorable showing to the country with regard to the stated finances. In the course of his speech he enumerated the surpluses and deficit since the govern- ment attained office, as follows: - Surplus Deficit. 1806 7 $519,981 1897.8 $ 1,722,712 . .... 1896.1900 .... 8,054,714 . .... 1900.01 5,648,333 1901.02 • 7,291,398 . 1902 03...... 14,345,166 1903.04: 15,056,984 . 1904-05........ 7,863,089 Total.,,. $64,820,147 $519,981 Deducting deficit of 1896.97, for which the government was not responsible, it had a net surplus in nine years of $64,- 300,165, or an average per year of $7,144,- 402. If the bounties on iron and steel, etc., were charged to income, the net average surplus would be $0,526,258. For the fiscal year which ends on June 30 next the revenue is estimated at $79,- 000,000, an increase of $7,800,000 over last year, while the expenditure is esti- mated at $66,500,000, an increase of $3,- 180,000. The result of the year's opera- tion, it is estimated, will produce a ear. plus of $12,500,000, a sum which has on- ly been exceeded in two years and that during the present administration. The chief source of attack on the part of the Opposition is that the expendi- tures of the country are increasing. This cannot be helped, and the govern- ment would be recreant to its trust did it not increase our ordinary and capital expenditure in a ratio corresponding with our growth in population and the dementia made upon us for the proper development of the country. The ex- penditaroe are made all the more justi- fiable by our expanding revenues, and the course the government is pursuing is only that which is taken by every en- terprising private industry in the land. Inereaeed expenditnretl are never to be deprecated when they can be justified by the condition of the revenues and the requirements of a rapidly<growiag ooan- 6ry, :fr Local history of the early 80s.

The new furniture factory of Gil- christ, Green & Co. is rapidly nearing completion, and will be ready next week to receive the machinery, which the members of the firm are now purchasing in Brantford. The building presents quite a massive appearance, which will be added to when the eugine room and dry kiln are erected. Quite an exciting trotting race took place on the driving park, last Friday afternoon, between M. Perdne's chest- nut horse and T. Nixon's chestnut mare, for $50 a side. The race was closely contested but the mare name out ahead. The fall wheat in this section of the country promises well. and with favor- able weather there is likely to be a good yield. In many places it has begun to head out and shows good plump grain. Sugar Beet Thinning On the one hand, it is argued that if put off as long as possible the young roots in order to find the plant food necessary for their development, would grow downwards, and would so continue even if ample space were left to draw from laterally. Very rich beets would result these growing very little above the ear• face of the ground would combine all the qualities sought after; If the thinn• ing is hastened, the plantlets when left in the loosened soil would wilt and die. Another authority claims, on the con- trary, that it is very exceptional, provid- ing the weather is favorable, for the single root left not to start a new growth within twenty-four hours and develop with unusual vigor and thus gain con- siderably over the young beets that have been thinned late in the seasons' Care must be taken to carefully examine the soil with the view of ascertaining what the chances are for the roots being at• tacked by insects. Under these circum- stances better thin out when the beets have attained the size of a thick lead pencil. They could then better resist the ravages, whatever be their kind. For our part we are in favor of early thinning out. In some States where there is danger of frosts, special obser- vations should be made, and the plan adopted that leads to the best results. The nature of the soil, etc., must be taken /into consideration. Under the best of circumstances, the operation re- quires more care than is generally given and the crop is often a failure due simp- ly to the neglect during the first stages of the plant's existence. -Sugar Beet. Useful Herbs. A warm infusion of elder flowers is gently stimulating to a weak stomach, given in small doges, say a wine glass for ti three year-old child twice or three times a day. The inner bark of the older, shaved fine and boiled down in cream, makes a very healing salve for burns and abrasions. Hope hold a worthy place on our list, and their uses are manifold. An infus- ion is au excellent sedative for "children of a larger growth," and the dry hop Billow will prove no less grate- ful to the restless baby, while his older brother, screaming with pain from an ulcerated tooth, will find immediate help 'from a small bag of hops dipped in vinegar and placed between hie cheek and a hot water bag or flat iron. For young babies often troubled with colic, nothing brings up the wind and soothes the screaming child better than anise tea, weak, slightly sweetened, and given in small spoonfuls till the Wind begins to move, no longer, for it is better to rename its powers, even though "baby is so fond of it." And here let me say I do not mean essence of anise or anisette, but the infusion of the simple herb, whioh it is as well to wash in bulk, putting into a strainer, and allow- ing cold water to drain through it, then spreading upon paper to dry. Sage is also useful in .olio, and warm, ase safeguard against suspected cold, care being taken as to exposure after- wards, Ent the virtues of sage are its effect upon a style, which will soon dis- appear, indeed, often fail to appear, after a lukewarm bath of it.

Too much value cannot be attached to milk. Indeed consumptive patients cannot partake too freely of it, but great care must be taken that it is obtained from healthy' animals. If a child has a bad bump on the fore- head use au application of witch hazel as hot as can be borne. It will take out the soreness and prevent swelling. A little oil or vaseltne rabbed in afterward will prevent any tendency to discolora- tion. For a good .home-made shampoo melt a cake of olive soap in a quart of boiling water. This forms a jelly, to which should be added a small lump of soda. The hair should be wet first with'warm water, then the jelly rubbed in well and then thoroughly rinsed in tepid water. Distilled water is better not only for greasy skins, but for all others as well. For a greasy skin a good wash is made by adding to the distilled water a table- spoonful of a mixture made as follows: One ounce of dried rose leaves pour half a pint of vinegar and let it stand for a week and then add a little rose water. Maize is Indian corn. Crushed maize is known in Ireland as 'atirabout,' in Italy as 'pole/eta,' and in America as 'homing.' It less stimulating than wheat. Cornflour DI a preparation of maize. Crushed maize, boiled with milk sweetened with sugar and dashed with cream is ono of the most fattening foods. Buttermilk is the most useful to the woman who is troubled with freckles. Cucumber cream, too, is efficacious. The way to apply it Is to heat a towel and apply to the face for a few minutes, then rub in the cream, leaving it on for about five minutes. The °ream should then be robbed off with a piece of soft cloth. All acids are supposed to be flesh -re- ducing. You can take lemon juice clear if yon wish, but the best way is to add a suggestion of salt, some crushed ice and water. Take this before breakfast every morning. It is an excellent skin clearer for the reason that is acts direct- ly on the liver. The only healthy way of reducing flesh is found in a get -thin diet and plenty of exercise. .

This must not be removed for two weeks. It is said this poultice has been used with success by many prominent dootors.

FAIR COLLEGIAN HAS FEWEa, CHANCES TQ WED, as Prolonged Years of Graduates Shown to Be Due to University -Only, Four Out of Nine Are Married. Ann Arbor, Mich. -The statistician has been at work with the record of Uni- versity of Michigan graduates, and has ascertained- that the Ann Arbor coed lives three times as long as the average woman and that her chances of get- ting married are one-third less than her .non -college sister. Statistics are available for only the first 30 classes of the university, as the alumni register is not complete for the last three years. In the literary depart- ment the woman graduates for these years number 1,184. Sixty-five have died, while 415 have married. Of those who completed their college work the first two decades, 50 per cent have undertaken matrimony. The pro- portion of marriages decreases and the graduates take higher degrees, thus raising again the question whether scholarship in girls weans them from • the wedding march or orange blos- soms. One hundred and fifty-seven alumnae have taken the master's de- gree, and of this number only 36 have married, while of the nine who have re- ceived the doctor's degree only four have husbands. While the majority of the alumnae ceased to be breadwinners when they entered the double harness, there are 32 exceptions to this rule. Teaching is the occupation which divides the attention of most c•f these. The Michigan alumnae are widely scat- tered, every state furnishing a residence to at least one, excepting Alabama, Ari- zona, Idaho, Indian Territory and Ne- vada. Ann Arbor is represented in the Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Mex- ico, Canada, England, Italy, Germany, China, India and Afripa. Michigan fur- nishes a home for 93 per cent., other states coming as follows: -Illinois, Ohio, New York, Indiana, Massachu- setts, California, Iowa, Wisconsin, Min- nesota, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Missouri. Of the alumnae engaged in an occu- p .tion 586 are teachers. Of the teachers 205 do not report on the nature of their work, but of the others 248 are ih high schools, 24 are deans or principals, 24 are in normal schools, two in agricultural colleges, three teach music, three are kindergarten instructors, one teaches the deaf, nine are in universities and 46 are in colleges.

"OLD BOB" BITES THE DUST Sing of Mountain Lions Is Silted in Saguache Range 'While Guard- ing Fellow Captives, Salida, Col. -One of the largest mountain lions ever killed in the west was brought to this city recently from Sergeant, where it was slain by J. E. Hicks, a ranchman residing in that vi- cinity. The lion is known as "Old Bob," and measures 14 feet from tip to tip, and weighs 225 pounds. For the past sev- eral years he has been operating in the F- ;uache mountain range, killing hun- t.. eds of cattle and young colts. Three other lions were killed at the same time. Hicks went out a few morn- ings ago and found that lions had killed one of his calves. He then set three large steel traps. When he returned later he found that each trap had caught, and there was a lion in each one. Old Bob stood by guarding the captives and growling defiantly. He refused to leave the lions until he was shot by Mr. Hicks, who then proceeded to kill those in the traps. It is thought that these other ' three lions were the mate of Old Bob and ° two of her young. The body of Old Bob was purchased by J. A. Rogers, of this city, and brought here, where it has been mounted and added to the $10,000 collection of wild animals on which Mr. Rogers received a medal at the last world's fair. Strange Cat's Bite Fatal. Henry A.

He was bitten six weeks • ago in the lip by a strange cat, which he ' attempted to caress. The wound upper - • ently healed and caused hint no more trouble until a few days ago, when hy- drophobia set in, and from then until he died he lay in a state of coma, broken only by violent spasms of pain. He was in the car barns some weeks ago when a strange cat enteredthe place. When he picked up the animal it buried its teeth in his lower lip. A companion was compelled to pry the cat'a jaws open to release its hold: GO YEARS' EXPERIENCE TRADE MARKS • DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS &C.
