'THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, S Washday Smells. Jones-- 'Holy smoke! Is some one burning glue in the kitchen?" : Mrs. Jones--*'No, Theodore. It's washday you know, and what you smell is the suds-steam from the wash- boiler." Anty Drudge--"Why don't you use Fels-Naptha and do away with the washboiler? Then there will be no steam to permeate the whole house every washday." The Different Kind of Soap. That, in a nutshell, is Fels-Nopth.. _ Different--because Fels-Naptha is more than a soap--it is a different way of washing. Different--because Fels;Naptha gets the wash ready for the line in. about half the time of any other soap. Different--because Fels-Naptha itself does the work of loosening the dirt from the fabric, which every other soap leaves to you to do with the washboard. Different--because with Fels-Naptha there's no backache: no need for long bending over the tub, as with other soaps. Different--because Fels-Naptha saves the clothes: (1) from weakening of the fibre by heat; (2) from the wear of hard rubbing. / Différent--because" Fels-Naptha actually does in cool or lukewarm water what the best other soaps will not do even in scalding hot water.

They shoul get out and look a bit. Regularity is one of the essential con- ditions in feeding horses. i Attention to the little wants of the horses always pay, although there may not seem much in it at the time. The weed that doesn't go to seed this year will be less trouble next. The plowing that is done this fall willc heln next season's werk and crops. | It is as important to have the farm look well as it is to have a store lock attractive, The wire fence that is always kept in repair is seldom responsible for the in- jured stock. Anyone can learn from experience, but the wise man learns from the ex- perience of others, With alfalfa as with other new crops, the majority of the difficulties exist in the imagination. Avoid too many "dead furrows" in plowing, and try to make the back fur- row comé where the dead furrow was last year. The man who borrows your machines hecause his are out of order will soon be returning yours out of order, too. It's always cheaper and better to own farm tools than fo borrow, {It pre- serves a feeling of good fellowship in the neighborhood, too. There are about 6,000,000 farms in the United States, representing an invest- ment of $25,000,000. Every third farm is occupied by a renter. There is always plenty to do after the rush of summer work, but there is also plenty of time for recreation if vou will arrange matters right. All animals which chew the cud are cloven-hoofed. Those that drink by suction are herbivorous, and the car- nivorous animals lap when they drink. Dressing the lower half of a fence post so as to remove all the splinters, and then allowing it to dry till perfect- ly seasoned, will greatly prolong its life. Stock will do better if separated ac- cording to age and size and the dif- ferent classes kept together. It is not a good plan to turn all sizes and kinds of stock together in one pasture. It is a good plan, at this season of year, to makea well-organized effort to have all" scattered tools gathered into place, all lumber piled up, and a general preparation made for the coming of the snowstorm. It gives one a most comfort- able feeling to look out of the window at the thickly descending snow flakes, realizing at the same time that all shovels, chains, sacks, pieces of lumber, harrow sets, and all the other easily buried things about the farm have been safely stowed away under a good roof. The results of sending speakers to the anual meetings of cheese factories have been exteedingly beneficial, reports George: A. Putnam, director of dairy instruction. There has been a marked improvement in the quality of milk de- livered ap. factories mn consequence of the educational campaign carried on. In only a few cases has it been found necessary to notify those who supply milk that unless they clean up their premises action would have to be taken to compel them to do so. The majority are readily impressed with the neces- | sity of following cleanly methods. The department is prepared to continue the practice of sending speakers to annual meetings, Applications for such should be made to Mr. Putnam, Parliament Bldgs., Toronto. It is best to ring a bull before he gets too old, as it is difficult to hold an old bull for the operation. If the nose ring- ing is done at about the age of one year he can he held with a halter and the work done: The delightfully dry, warm weather of October was a godsend to the corn growers of the United States. The pe- short crop, and one that was several weeks later than usual. Had it nat been for the splendid October weather much of the cron would have been ruined even for feed. As it is, many localities where corn promised to be almost a failure will have considerable good grain. Joe Wing, of Ohio, is 3 practical far- mer and live stock breeder. He says: "There is a class of young men gradu- ating from the agricultural colleges, well grounded in the theory of agricul- ture, and without farms of their own, wondering what they are to do for a living when they -are turned loose on the world. Quite a number of these bright and well4ntentioned boys have written to me asking that I advise them as to where and how to obtain paying positions upon their graduation. "Without in the least wishing to dis- parage the value of the agricultural col- lege training or the worth of these young men, I wish to impress upon these lads the fact that they are of little value to anyone needing a farm fore- man or superintendent until they have had actual experience in farm work, and in all sorts of farm work. One can not direct another in a matter of which he is practically ignorant himself. He can not hold the respect of laborers if they feel that they know more of prac- tical things than he knows himself. His very college education, which may serve as the greatest help as a foundation for his practice, is a hamper to him if it be not coupled with practical experience. So as soon as the young man is free from college let him haste away to some more practical farm or ranch and work, Let him curry horses apd feed, plow and harrow, sow, till afd 'reap, make hay and feed calves, until all the details of farm work are familiar to kim, then let him apply for a position as foreman or superintendent and he wills get it without difficulty." Last Saturday's transaction on the Watertown Produce Exchange closed the season, and it turns out to have been a good one. This is the largest cheese market in the world, and fixes the prices in this country. The aggregate value of the cheese sold on the exchange during 1008 is $1,274,152 at an average price of about 1134 cents per pound. The total sales aggregate 185833 boxes. This is a little less than last year, when the aggregate value reached $1,500,000 at a slightly advanced price, but that was a phenomenal year and a record breaker, which it could hardly be ex- # ATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1908. have kept up so well jn spite of the de- pression in all lines of business, making a somewhat reduced consumption, has been remarkable.

ALABAMA AFTER LONG CRUISE. This is a photograph of the battleship Alabama taken the day she dropped anchor off Tompkinsville, N.Y., after a | world-encircling tour in which she logged | off more than 36,000 miles. The Ala- | bama is now in drydock, where several | hundred thousand dollars are to be ex- | pended in bringing her up to the stand- | ard required for service, A flaw in her | engines made it necessary for her to | leave the great American fleet, with | which she embarked last December, Percy--' 'Have you ever loved be- | fore ?'

Much happiness is due to ability to forget unpleasant things. Thin Blood d Made Strong Tiredness and Weakness Overcome. A Joyous Letter. "I admit because I neglected early treatment I am entirely to blame for the condition of weakness that for nearly two years made my life a real misery," writes Mrs. Hazen, of Beauport. "At first I felt sort of flat in the morning and could . do mo more than pick at my breakfast. La- ter I remember my sleep was dis- turbed, that. dreamy, restless sleep, from which you finally awaken Josling as if you could never get up. Then became thin, lost my color, got ner- vous and fearful about nothing; and kept thinking about myself all the time, and (was irritable, cross and easily made cry.

LIFE WBAT WE MAKE IT. Criticism of Merit--Some Thrusts. Canadian Courier. So long as the cry "my party, right or wrong," prevails, so long will dar- ing and unscrupulous men perform out- ragebus political acts for the sake of remaining in office and ' making life Home The dangerous politician 'is the man who believes that the public forgets and forgives. An impotent public is one expects of it. The game is 'one in which there would be no quarter. If we believe parliament is not ideal and if our parliamentarians are not quite so fair, so high-minded, and so public-spirited as we would like to see them, let us remember that our business life is also far from being ideal, that our theatres are pretty bad, that re- spectable citizens buy the Calgary Eye- Opener to see what new filth it has gathered up, that human passions are still "filling the asylums, jails and peni- tentiaries, and that church choirs and church members are not always in that Christian harmony which thinketh and speaketh no evil. I Private life, business life, social life, and parliamentary life-- all these bear somewhat the same characteristics. In Great Britain, parliamentary life has probably reached a higher relative posi- tion than it has ins this country, but there are reasons for that." This need not discourage us, but rather should it eficourage us to talk and work for that high standard of phblic conduct which has made and is keeping Great Britain in the fore-front of the world's great rations. WONDERFUL SENSITIVENESS. Modern Machines Mock Man's Sense Organs. . Chicago Tribune. The sensitiveness of the human organ- ism is gross indeed compared with that of the marvelous machines 'man has made. A photographic plate coupled with a telescope va millions of stars whose light the retina of the eye does not appreciate; the microphone makes the inaudible tread of a fly sound like the tramp of cavalrymen. The human heat sense cannot realize a difference of temperance beyond one- fifth of a degree. But the barometer, an instrument 200,000 times as sensi- tive as the skin, notes a difference of a A gaivanometer flexes its finger at a current generated so as to press it out of a spherical shape into that of an egg. The amount of work done by the wink of an eye equals 100,000,000,000 of the winks marked on the scale of a deli- cate instrument, but even this perfor- mance is surpassed by the "coherers" of Branley of Paris, by which the Hertz waves of wireless telegraphy are caught in their pulsings through space. The range of impressions which we get from lifting an object in exceeding- lv small; an ordinary chemist's balance is some million times as sensitive and weights down the 200th part of a mil- ligram. Without such instruments as these we should know far less about the world than they place within our reach. They make it evident that eur sense organs give us reports of but a compara- tively small number of comparatively gross stimuli. "ONE ON REV. H, PEDLEY." Will Be Appreciat- ; eds Many of the Congregationalists know personally Rev. Hugh Pedley, now of Montreal, one of the most gifted men in that denomination in Canada. They will therefore be able to appreciate the following, which we take from the Can- adian Congregationalist :-- : During my Cobourg and Cold Springs pastorate 1 was invited to preach a Sunday school anniversary sermon in the Methodist church, Camborne. To me it was quite an important occasion, and I made strenuous preparation. 1 was kindly received at the church, and the young preacher who was in charge came with me into the pulpit. A little before sermon time I whispered to him that I would like him to take the prayer Humor That do this. The sermon was preached, a special sermon, an anniversary sermon; and then came the prayer. With the exception of the one underscored peti- day, but it was somewhat after this Ha "O Lord, do Thou bless him who has spoken to us this day. Bless him in his ghurch, and bless him in hs home.
