From a nine-inch section of one limb a bas ketful was picked. As these trees are » Planted sixteen feet apart, there would be about 170 on a solid acre, which would mean a crop of 3,162 baskets, , worth 81.581.

In the year 1899, it was deemed wise by those in charge of institute in giving instructions in the produc wotk in Ontano to centre their work tion of "bacon" type of hog. 'Ihe speakers were chosen largely upon the bais of their qualifications to give instructions. in the breeding, feeding and care of that class of bacon, the object being to produce that quality of bacon for export which would hold a high place in the English mar kets. One man on each deputation was furnished with illustrative mater ial, by way of charts and photo graphs, which would emable-him to indicate clearly to his audience the tvpe which was advocated. Plans, charts, tables, statistics, apd othe infomation bearing upoh 'the selec tion, breading, housing, general care, and feeding of hogs, was furnished each speaker. The experiment proved most successful, and there was, in the seasons which followed, a marked improvement in the quality of hogs produced, and a uniformity was és Aatfished throughout practically the whole province. A great stimulus was thus given to the bacon industry which has continued over since to hold a promfinent place in the agriculture of the province.

Her Forces Are Doing Great Werk For | Ireland. : This is an age of organized social re. form, and there was never a time when women were doing more valuable work for the community. The Women's Na. tional Health Association of Ireland may be described as a social welfare army with her Excellency the Coun tess of Aberdeen in command. De. tachments are stationed all over the country. One hundred and fifty branches or battalions are engaged in attacking disease, poverty, misery, and dirt. Twenty thousand wtnen are en- rolled under the banner of health and hope, and it would be diffienit to over. estimate the value to Ireland of these women's work. 1912. v Comfort Soap means "Comfort" not ° just . $5.00 JOHNSTON'S SHOE STORE szocx sr | "Soap." POSITIVELY THE LARGEST SALE IN CANADA Treland, half a dozen years ago, was virgin soil in the sense that there was no definite philanthropio organization for tackling the problems of tubercu- losis, infant mortality, and public health. Any remedies were. merely Jliative. Prevéntive work had not Baer started. The infsat mortality and toberculosis death retes were ap palling. 80 Lady Aberdeen started babies' clubs, and a pasteurized milk depot for supplying pure milk in Dublin. In the poorest quarters of the city, places were rented by association to 'be used aa, "clubs." , Voluntary helpers and traived nurses pere ob- tained, and the good officel of the doctors were enlisted. Thus the pre. ventive work for iniapd mortality was organized on a professfonal basis. The association begins with the babies and and the mothers in its health cam- paign, and rightly, tev. By the edu- cation of motherhood and the protec- tioa of infaney this problem can best be solved. But its energies are extended in all directions. Just lately the children's laygrounds scheme has come into ing. Derelict spaees in the slum. miest parts of the city are being trans. formed into garden playgrounds for the babies and the ehildren with as- tounding success. St. Monica's Play- ground was opened & little w hile ago by the Lord Lieutemant of Ireland, and' the children of that neighborhood have come to regard Lady Aberdeen | as a personal friend. The next move is to be the forma. tion of a boys' camp on the site of Ormond Market, at present a scene of | mouldering walls, falling masonry, crooked lamp posts, huge heaps of stones, tin cans, and refuse of all kinds. Lady Aberdeen has secured it at a nominal rent. It is to be entire. ly cleared and made into a camp, where destitute boys from crowded homes will live and sleep, going by day to their work or their schools and returning in the evening fo a veritable boy seout's paradise. The effect of a multiplication of such camps upon the questions of juvenile crime, hooligan- ism, and delinquency is surely sell evident. A great deal has already been said | and written about the tuberculosis campaign of the Women's Health As- sociation of Ireland. People are fair- ly familiar with the propaganda of the association. They are aware that sanatoria have been constructed; that traveling health caravans tour all over Ireland, ing the laws «A health and hygiene to the people. The asso: ciation also provides nurses for the treatment of consumptive patients in their homes-under a system of volun- tary notification, As a result of the work, the death rate from tuberculosis ia the lowest recorded since 1864, whem the regis. tration of deaths was intsoduced. -- Cycle In War.

The farmer, like every other bus. iness man who would have his of- forts crowned with a measure of success, must keep looking ahead In no department of his work is this more important than his efforts to get his cows into good shape for their winter's work. The hot summer weather and the flies and kindred pests have a way of thinning the cows in flesh and. ot weakening their constitutions gen- erally. With the fall there comes a revival of constitutional vigpr. ot which the alért dair¥man should be careful to avail himself. The pas ture should be supplomented with a little forage crop, and meal should be added to the daily ration. These may be fedewith advantage at night, as it Is a question if it pays to have cows out at night when the nights are and the dew approaches the hoarfrost stage. It should always be remembered that a cow, to give her best performance in the milk pail, must be keot in good heart, not only during the period of lacta- tion, but also during the perfod img mediately preceding freshening.

It is almost impossible to hang a woman in Anglo-Saxon countries to- day, but in old time England this was not the case, King George 111. once offered twenip-three women dffenders an alternative to hanging. They might, should they choose, be trans. ported instead. Bix of them voted for hanging. Ma women were then hanged for far less crimes than wine dow-amashing.
