¥ FIT-REFORM vs. CUSTOM TAILORING Talk No. 1 The question is sometimes asked, "Why is a Fit-Reform Suit so much better than similar garments made to order by a custom tailor ?" One reason is because the Fit-Reform Suit is completely finished and is ready to try on. It is so constructed that, if any alterations are necessary, they can be made easily, accurately and quickly. | The custom tailor, on the other hand, merely bastes the various parts of the garment together. The necessity of trying on unfinished garments, simply proves the inaccuracy of the custom tailor's measurements. There is no comparison between Fit-Reform accuracy and custom-tailor gicovark. x, FIT- % REFORM The Fit-Reform Trademark is in the pocket' of every garment to guarantee satis- faction. Look for it whenever you buy. steve CRAWFORD & WALSH Sole Agents for Kingaton. RN : DB yy =A RY SF Valour and Value. "'The V.C. has been awarded Sylvester For Valour. He served the King.

For Gbhe Farmers BY UNCLE JOSH Now that the elections are over, back to work again, A big dairy meeting will be held in Kingston on Dec. 5th. There will be good speakers and a fine meeting is; expected. The farmers in this district are more than pleased at the heavy rainfall. For weeks everything has been so dry that they found it impossible to do their plawing, and now everything will be mote favorable for them. The rain was pretty much general in this district, and the ground was given the best soaking it has received in a long time. Not in many years, has there been such a dry season, and it has caused no end of trouble to the farmers. "I never experienced anything as bad." said a well known farmer, on the market yesterday. "We of course have had dry spells now and again, but this season has taken the cake all right. In many places, wells went dry, and the feeding of the stock was found a very difficult task." Farmers along the line of the K. & P. railway are greatly pleased at the action of the management of the road, to req store the old market rates, and say that this will add materially, to the atten- dance at the Thursday market. A man to be a successful dairyman of to-day must of necessity have a fair education, and we know of no better place to get such an education than at the agricultural colleges. The question of keeping records of cows is engaging widespread attention. No one can claim to be an up-to-date Jairyman who does not keep individual records of his herd. No matter how well cows may be cared for there will b: an improvement just as soon as a proper system of keeping records is adopted | The question as to which is the most profitable breed' of fowls is very fre quently asked. There are undoubtedly differences in breeds, but undue impor- tance should not be placed upon breed. The trap nest has shown that there is more difference in individuals than in breeds. Bread isn't everything. If a man starts in the poultry business with with it the notion that breed is every- thing, he will meet with inevitable fail- urc. The breed may be all right, but the fowls must be encouraged to do their best by good care and management, The hopper style of feeding the grow- ing chicks is not only a labor saver, but has many advantages. The chicks soon learn to ¢at only what they re- quire and there is no waste, at the same time, the birds are never underfed. A gain in growth is claimed by those who have tried it, and that is sufficient reason for its adoption. The hopper should hold from a bushel to a bag of grain. Ontario is going to be short of rough feeds and grains for feeding purposes this winter. Every farmer who has roughage to save should do it well, us every stalk will be needed this winter. The feeding of cattle, hogs and sheep is, a question that is being weighed by many farmers. Will it pay to feed cattle this winter? Bookkeeping is very necessary on the farm to-day. A man should be able to tell at the end of the year where his greatest losses and profits have oc- curred, thus putting him in a better position for the next year's business. There are many minor points about dairying such as testing the cows, pay- ing for milk by butter fat, sterilizing the whey, use of separators, and how to ascertain the proportion of casein in milk, etc, all of which are of great im» portance to the farmer who is alive to his business. The Maige Experiment Station has been conducting some poultry breeding experiments, the principhl object of which was to increase the egg-laying capacity of the flock of chickens. Al- ready several hens have been found to lay more than 200 eggs in one year, and the result seem to indicate: that the average egg vield of a flock can be in- creased by selection In New York State conditions, ac- cording to The New York Farmer, seems to be worse. It says: "Ninety per cent. of all the upland rms 1 1 are disas- of water for their stock their soil. About s0 per » mid-height farms, that is, farms between the highland and low- land farms, have suffered seeiously from the drouth, and the other 50 per cent. have suffered more or less. Even in the lowlands, along the river bottoms, about half of the farms are reported seriously damaged by the drouth and farms have pasturage and and most other crops excepting corn. On all farms, highlands, low- land and mid-height, the month opens with browned meadows and pastures, in many cases with dead sod that crumbles under the footstep of the farmer, and turns to powder under the hoofs of live stock. October opens with more Jdrv cows than usual and with the cows in milk averaging the smallest yield per head known in many years. Winter ns have been feed for a month in 1 of the territorr mnd now winter feeding is general. Farmers are draw- ing water to supply their houses and their stock. Fall work is undone be- cause the soil has been too dry to plow and seed, and because the farmers have been compelled to use their horses to Jdraw water. Stores of hay are short in these states. Other roughage is scarce. The mill-feeds are very high in price, and everything visible indicates un- usually high production costs of milk from this date up to grass next spring." those; states these lost nay Produce And Prices.

Diligent Class Rewarded By Gen- eral Smoke. Mexican schoolmasters show their ap- preciation of a pupil's efforts in a curious manner. The diligent student is allowed to smoke a cigar during the lesson. When the whole . class has given satisfaction, permission is given for a general smoke, and even the little Mexicans are allowed to light a cigar- ette for the occasion. Needless to say, the schoolmaster himself smokes a cigar of a size and quality proportion- ate to his superior position. But the scholars are not allowed to drink, this privilege being accorded to the master only. On his desk he always keeps a bottle of liquor, which, when empty, oc- casions much dispute among the parents of his scholars, as it is considered an honor to be able to fill the school- master's bottle.

A curious story of a missing will comes from Paris. , In 1906 M. Frossard, director of the Mont de Piete at Dijon, a bachelor, died without heirs, leaving a fortune of about 100,000 francs. He had previously an- 'noufeed to his intimates that he in- tended to remember them in his will, but on his death no will could be found. The fortune then went to three distant relatives. A German book collector passing Dijon bought a lot of old books which had formerly belonged to M. Frossard. In one of them the collector came across the lost will, in which one of the oldest friends of the dead man was appointed residuary.legate. | The collector sent the will to this gentlenran, and the aid of the French courts will now be invoked to distri- bute the property in terms of the will.

In the long warfare between the spider and the fly the hatter has had the housewife for its auxiliary and friend. The flies have been tolerated, even fed and nurtured, while the spiders and their webs have been ruthlessly destroyed. This unremitting and unrelenting war against it keeps the spider population down, while the flies increase amd multi- ply by the millions and tens of millions, almost unchecked. The spider is ugly, and his web is unsightly in the estima- tion of most people, but spiders hurt no human nature.

RE MADE PUBLIC LADY CURZON ACTUALLY DIED IN POVERTY. 'At This Time, However, Lord Curzon Has Enough For His and Child's Needs. Chicago, Oct, 30--Revehtions .. ow- ing the poverty of Lord and Lady Cur- zon, who was Mary Leiter, after aeir return from India, where they hau ruled over millions of subjects in regal splendor, and disclosure of the sum, that "Joe" Leiter drop- ped in his famous plunge in the wheat pit, were made public for the first time yesterday in the suit of Hugh Crabb: against the Zeigiel Coal Co. for $416, on trial in the Judge Eberhardt's court. Because of Leiter's unfortunate spec- ulation, as was wn, his allowance is now only $54,000 a year, while boib his sisters are receiving mor: tha. twice this amount. Lady Curzon's pov erty followed her to her grave. When she and Lord Curzon returned to Europe they could not open their nragnificent London house, t were forced to take rooms in a hotel and live inexpensively while waiting for funds to arrive from America. In a few months Lady Curzon died. but in a letter, which was produced in court, she wrote that until she knew whether she was to receive the full in come from her father's estate she could not open her town house. At this time, however, Lord Curzon has sufficient money for his and his child's needs. He is receiving $69,000 a year from the Levi Leiter estate, When Joseph Leiter dropped $9,000,000 in the wheat pit his father came to his rescue and assumed $7,000,000 of the burden. When he died, however, he charged each one of the children up with the money they had received from him before his death. ; dy Curzon's letter, in which she told of her financial strait, was written to Hugh Crabbe in February, 1907. A short time after this Lady Curzon died and Lord Curzon received a settlement in part of the L. Z Leiter estate. It appears that he was paid too much money, and because of this he was in- formed that his income from the estate would be forwarded to him less $10,702. His lordship expressed his "horror" at this and said so plainly in a letter to Crabbe. : 3 Crabbe says that the trouble between himself and "Joe" Leiter, which finally led to the young millionaire dismissing him from the employ of the Leiter es- tate, arose over the fact that Leiter knew there was a spy in the offices of the estate who was keeping Lady Cur- zon informed regarding the manage- ment of the Leiter millions. Leiter . thought that the spy was Crabbe when he saw the letter from Lady Curzon, in his sister's handwrit- ing, addressed to Crabbe. An attempt to get these letters before the jury by Attorney (Elias Mayer, who is repre- senting Crabbe, was promptly check- anted by Attorney Miles for the de- ence. a BAIT FOR THIEVES. Thief Gets Belongings of Careless Women. The highway robber in opera hat and dinner jacket is made much of by the papers and even the police, we are told, are vastly concerned that a person so dressed should take an unlawful fancy for a lady's purse. The surprise of the police is a bit of stage play, a picce of police fiction. Men not only in dinner jackets and opera hats, a bar- barous combination by the way, but men in absolutely correct evening dress are numerously under the strict observation of special officers employed by popular restaurants. The eagerness of the check-room boys to get hold of all the outer garments of men and wo- men Jiners is not wholly actuated by a hope of tips. The management of such places have a nervous horror of diners who insist upon keeping all their be- longings with them and then carelessly tossing them upon an otherwise unoc- cupied chair at their table. That is a bait which draws the well-dressed thief. The chair is piled high with wraps, hats, canes and, finally, the woman of the party, tired of nursing her reticule, which generally contains some jewelry, tosses it, too, on the chair. Teo get near to such a prize the thief must be dressed like a gentleman, and the fre- quent reports of robberies under such circumstances proves that the gentle- man's dress is frequently well assumed. Such criminals do not often resort to violence, but the man who took the woman's purse in the subway entrance probably did it on an impulse, seeing how easy the trick could be turned. Pigeon Feeding In New York. 'Pigeon feeding in Madison Square will soon become as famous as at St Mark's, in Venice, if things keep up at this rate," observed a New Yorker who was near Twenty-seventh street and Madison avenue the 'other morn- ing when the pigeons that make their home in the garden tower were being fed by a man from a neighboring sta- ble. "A few years ago there weren't enough pigeons here to be noticed, but now they swarm around anybody who appears with a measure of oats or a newspaper package of crumbs." Education. I consider a human soul without eJdu- cation like marble in a quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties un- til the skill of the polisher fetches out the colors, makes the surface shine and discovers every ornamental cloud, spot and vein that runs throughout the body of it. Education, after the same man- ner, when it works upon a noble mind, draws out to view every latent virtue and perfection, which, without such helps, are never able to make their ap- pearance and would otherwise be lost. Repartee. Vinland (Kan.) Vine, John Brassfield had been interrupting the conversation for some time. "You are drunk," at last said Bill Sincaller, in disguest. "I am not drunk," replied John, indignantly, "and if I was sober you would not say such a thing to me."
