HARRISON PRINCIPALS GEDRGE IHGLE PAY E’S DiP The Tweed News says : A case of how people’are gelled by sending their orders away from home to the large departmen- tal stores of the big cities came under the personal observation of the editor of this paper on Friday afternoon. While he was waiting in R. G'ubert’s grocery and crockery store in the McGowan block, two ladies from the vicinity of Hinton entered and priced a set of dishes that were spread out on one of the tables. M :- Gilbert quoted them at $26 for the set, whereupon one of the ladies expressed great surprise and stated that a friend of hers residing in Flinton had recently pur- chaseda set. of dishes. which she did not consider worth ha‘f as much. from a departmental szore in Toronto, and fcr which she paid the sum of $25. Her remarks were corroborated by the other 1ady. This is but One of many cases first are occurring in this vicinity almost daily. Dr. Williams Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves. thus driving disease from the system. Avoid imitations by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapper bearing the full trade mark, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. If your dealer does not keep them they will be sent postpaid at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 by addressing the Dr. Williams‘ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. hell, of the Grand Union Hotel, Alexandria. At the present time Mr. McDonnell is in the enjoyment of perfect health. and a Stranger meeting him for the first time could not imagine that a man with the health) glow and energetic manner of Mr. McDonnell could ev er have felt a symptom of disease. There is a story, however, in connection with the splendid degree of health attained by him that is worth telling. It is a well-known fact that a few years ago he was the victim of the most excruciating pains of rheumatism. Know- ing these facts a News reporter called on Mr. McDonnell for the purpose of eliciting fuller particulars. Without hesitation he attributed his present sound state of health to the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. “I am”, said he, 33 years of age, but three years ago I did not expect to live this long. At that time I was connected with the Commercial here and as part of my duties was to drive the buses to and from the C. A. R. station, I was exposed to all kinds of weather and subjected to the sudden extremes of heat and cold. Along in the early spring I was suddenly attacked with the most terrible pains in my limbs and body. I sought relief in doctors and then in patent medi- cines, but all to no purpose; nothing seemed to afford relief. For two months I was a helpless invalid, sufl‘ering constant' ly the most excruciating pains. My hands and feet swelled and I was positive the end was approaching. My' heart was affected and indeed I was almost in despair, when fortunately a friend of our family recommended the use of Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills. I began using them in May, 1896, and had taken three boxes be- fore I noticed any change, but from that time every dose counted. The blood seem- ed to thrill through my veins and by the time I had finished the fifth box every trace of the disease had vanished. Ever since then I have been working hard and frequently long overtime, but have con tinued in excellent health. Whenever I feel the slightest symptom of the trouble I use the pills for a day or so and soon feel as well as ever. I feel that I owe my health to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and never lose an opportunity of recommend- ing them to others suffering as I was.

About threeâ€"fifths of the animal body is water, and while water is not strictly a food in itself. no food can be assimilat- ed without the aid of water, large quan- tities of it being required '50 carry on this process. According to a bulletin of the Indiana Station: “'1 he horse requires from 64 to 80 pounds. or eight to ten gallons per day, a. gallon. weighing eight pounds. During the months of February and March five horses drank from 48 to 60 pounds per head when not at work. and from 62 to 84 pounds while at work. Fifty-four per cent. of the water Was drunk in the forenoon and 56' per cent. in the after- noon. Possibly no stallion furnished a greater number of horses to the American and Canadian markets, and his sons. like himself, are good-tempered. sound. healthy animals, while his daughters are proving to be amongst the best breeding mares in the country. Next to his singu- lar healthfulness. Macgregor’s great characteristic was his good temper. We have seen him. when 12 years old, led round the courtyard, at Threave Mains, by the mane. and he was to the fast as tractable and placid in temper as a lamb. Too much stress cannot . be laid on this point. and too little importance is attached by some men to sound constitu- tion and good temper in a stallion. Gen. orally the produce of Macgregor were dis- tinguished by the same characteristics as their sire. We have never heard of an ill- tempered Maczregor horse or mare. and during the past 20 yearswe only once heard of an unsound colt by him. He was individually a typical Clydesdaleâ€" sound in the feet. clean and free from all kinds of disease or greasiness in the limbs, with a magnificent crest and splendid shoulders. rising nobly at the withers. His back was straight and his ribs wéll sprung and deep. and he had great leverage behind. He was, like his sire. Darnley, a magnificent walker, and could keep the host man' living-going for all he was worth. at a swinging walking pace. Adverse criticism confined itself to these points .in Macgregor: Hisheadmas rather small and‘ ponylike"â€"in this he resembled Darnley: his books vrere rather much set, and, in consequence. his hind palterns were possibly not as long and sprinzy as Clydesdale fancy demands. T his peculiar formation of hinddeg was possibly more apparent in some of his produce than in himself, but it is gener- ally recognized as the “Macgregor hind leg.” It in no way hindered the useful- ness of his stock, commercially er in everyday work; on the contrary. experts frankly avowed their preference for a hind leg formed in thezfashion indicated; it gives a horse greet leverage. especially in backing, and the Scottish two-wheeled cart, balanced on the horse’s back. calls for the exercise of strength when being pressed in that direction. Macgregcr was a right good Clydesdale horse. and his kind are “too thin sown.” “Cattle drink more than horses. Dur- ing the period above referred to, COWS not giving milk drank 78 pounds and cows in full flow drank 112 pounds per day. The largest drink was 122 pounds and the greatest amount taken by one animal in one day was 176 pounds. The Utah Experiment Station found that steers feeding upon dry feed require 83 pounds of water per day, while those fed upon green feed consumed only 33 pounds per day. Cattle drank 72 per cent. of water in the morning and 28 per cent. in the evening ” Pigs fed corn and skim milk (3 pounds per day) drank 2.65 pounds of Water per day; those fed wheat and skim milk. 5.2 pounds; those fed on corn, wheat and skim milk, 3.9 pounds; those fed soaked wheat and skim milk. 6.3 pounds. These figures indicate, as in the experiments with steers in the Utah Station, that the amount of water drunk is influenced to “No attempt has been made to deter- mine the quantity of Water needed daily for sheep. * * * They drink compara- tiyely little Water while upon pas- ture. They can endure privation as re- gards water far beyond other domestic animals. '1‘th has led to the belief com- mon among farmers that sheep do not need wanin- and that dew is sufficient. This is a serious mistake. and accounts for the loss of many hundred lambs in this State every year. , __:_._-'I “:11 nu‘w “Uh-V‘- v. -_ “The Dumbo} of times an animal will drink during the day. when allowed full opportunity, is not known, but is indi- cated in a. general way by the stomach.

Probably the most seriousldisease having such cause is mad itch in cattle. This occurs especially in the fall of the year, when the cattle air upon dry palture or when turned in upon a dry stalk field. It may occur at other times, and also be due to other causes. but without doubt 90 per cent. of the cases occurring in this State are directly traceable to this cause. Sheep also suitor from impaction and constipa- tion. and large numbers die from Want of proper water supply. Hogs, especially young ones. often succumb from like treatment. Horses probably suffer least loss. because they receive the greatest care in this respect. but no doubt many cases of colic, impaction and constipation are traceable to this source." . A. S.

Nearly all the evergreen trees are dormant so far as top growth as soon as the terminal buds are set in summer, and if transplanted soon after that occurs a. new root growth will be made before Winter sufl‘icient to estab- lish it for next season's work. The next season’s pruning cm be commenced as soon as the active top growth commences, but do not prune too heavily the first season, only enough to prevent unsightly growth. For an exposed situation on a light soil where the amount of room it will occupy is no object. one of the best hedge plants is our native black spruce. If properly planted out and cared for it is useful the entire year; stands shearing well. and so can be kept in any form desired.’ In forming a hedge with this evergreen ii' the soil is not naturally well drained care must be taken to provide good drainage. The soil should be well pulverized to a depth of at least 18 inches. and if a continuous line of hedge is set. for a breadth of at least four feet. As soon as the growth of the year is fln- ished and the terminal buds formed is the best time to transplant. which occurs early this month. Select your young trees of nearly uniform size as possible. not too large: up to two and two and a half feet is large enough, taking them from open pasture or ileld. Never from Woods or thickets. If the transplanting can be done in wet weather all the better. as the roots are xery sensitive to being dried out. If done in bright weather care must be taken to keep the exposed roots moist in transplanting them; it they once get dry the chances are there will be a large percentage of loss. If a spring or brook is at hand puddle the roots as soon as the tree is lifted in mud. or pack wet ferns around them; set but little deeper than they naturally grew. Firm the soil well around them; a few inches of old leaves or straw around them on the surface to keep a. uniform mositure is a great assistance. If the soil in which they are set; is dry at the time, water 01d. brokenâ€"mouthed or, we may add, ruptured ewes, must go, and a. faulty udder is. in most cases, an unpardonable defect. It is less easy to still further cull the flock of its less desirable members. Great judgment is required in culling out the weak members. but the: opportunity must be taken, and no doubt rigorous weeding is one of the secrets of improv- ing a flock. A weak. bare, or badly-colored head. speckled ears, when a. uniform color is in type, pink or badly-colored lips and nos- trils, and spots Where no spots should be, a. rusty, sour. ugly head in any breed should be got rid of. It is no great; matter if we cull beyond our usual draft, as there are plenty of opportunities in early autumn to replace by buying a few good eWes. Nothing looks better than good heads, and strange as it may seem, a sheep’s head, which is only worth 9d at the butcher’s, is worth a lot of money when carried on a. good mm or eWe. Another hardy class that has been much neglected are the hardy delphim- ums (barkspurs). These are also very hardy and their tall spikes of single and double bloom in shades of white. blue and scarlet, lasting in the difierent species and hybrids throughout the sum- mer. are not onlv very ornamental in the hardy border. but are excellent for cutting. and the coloring is very clear and brilliant. Both these classes increase rapidly by division of crowns, and like all their class should be only transplant- ed or divided in late autumn after be- coming dormant. or in early spring before the crowns start into growth. All who intend to increase their hardy borders should not forget to use these two classes of plants. The delphimums, also, in some varieties, form a good floral hedge. Advice From a British Quarter re Judi- cious Culling. Next to the head and ears we look for good necks. Ewe-necked sheep never look well, and a good scrag is a strong point. Let us, therefore, as far as possible, weed out long or hollow-necked ewes. A mus- cular neck indicates strength of constituv tion, and good musulnr development, and I have never known a, sheepâ€" breeder who did not strongly shims to a. shabby neck. Mr. lillman‘, the father of the Ekiuthdown brood. insisted on 6113 import- ance of this point, Mr, James Iâ€"lziwlcnce 0f Bulbridggc. one of tho cldasz of on." noted breeders, would not keep a. was. necked e‘WU, and no man who values 1113 flock would buy a ram With this fault. The neck ought to be muscular, arched, tapering and neat. H. E. Goold of Sussex. N.B.. Gives a Valuable List for Grow-u. Among the good nerdy herbaceous plants, the old hardy day lilacs (Hemero- collie) are too seldom used in the hardy borders; they have the good qualities of absolute hardiness without protection; in any Well-drained soil will succeed; sure to bloom even it neglected and their period of bloom in a. collection of early and late varieties covers the whole lum- mer season. says H. E. Goold in the Co- operative Farmer. Fragrant. excellent for cutting, the buds maturing in light until the last one blooms. The color. various shades of yefaiow and brown is clear. and useful mingled with other out blooms. or in sprays in vases they will repay amply good cultivation. And plant food, a good mulch of strawey manure around the crown in late autumn just suits them in that respect. ”‘Shouirders are as important as neck, and should be conqidwed as follows: First, they 31:11? ‘ Mar:- ‘ "5241 :31.” :wck’.

Next let us look at the ribs and back. the loins, the quarters. the let-down of the legs of mutton, and lastly, at the general amplenesa of form. There is no mistaking a good sheep, and when look- ing through a flock for drafting. every mean. undersized, bad charactered or de- fective ewe must go. A. good flock cannot be got up in a year, but each year tells. It is the object to take ofl the tail and put on a new and improved head to the flock every year, and thus to build up the idea] which every good breeder carries in his mind's eye. This is drafting or weeding. and no successful breeding can go on without it. â€"mndon Live Stock Journal. HARDY PLANTS AND HEDGE$ POINTS OF THE SHEEP. Call and see the custom work done by GEO. H.
