When you see pale, sallow, sickly girls, easily tired, subject to headaches, backaches, and violent palpitation of the heart, it is the blood that is at fault, and unless the trouble is speedily corrected the patient passes into that condition known as “-d-ecl-ine-’ and death fol- lows. The one sure, positive way to obtain rich, red healthâ€"giving blood is to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. This medicine has saved thousands of young girls from a premature grave. ‘ We had that I meal. and we With our part course terestin-g Strong proof of this offered in the cure of Miss 7.110- aide I‘aliord. of St. Elie, Quebec. Miss Il‘alford tells the story of her sickness and recovery as follows: “Like many other Canadian girls, I went to the United States and found employment in a factory at Woon- socket. The close, indoor life prov- ed too much for me and nearly end- ed in my death. At first I was taken with headaches, would tire. very easily, had no appetite, and no energy. I tried to continue the work, but grew worse and worse, and finally was compelled to return to my home. I was so much chang- ed and emaciated that my friends hardly knew me. Two weeks after my return home I was forced to bake my bed. I had a bad cough, was distressed by terrible dreams and sometimes passed whole nights steadily growing weaker; in fact I could not hold my hand above my head for more than three or ‘ seconds, and had to bl‘ turned in ‘lled. No one. expected I would get better, and I thought myself I was about to die. At this time my brother came from Montreal to see me. 1y urged me to try Dr. Wi-lliams’ Pink Pills. A supply of pills was procured, and now I bless the day I began taking them. It is enough to say that before three boxes were taken I began to feel better, and from that on I grew stronger every day. or ten boxes I was once more enjoy- ing the blessing of perfect health.

Beâ€" sides bulls and breeding stock, dairy cows and perhaps a few pigs should be oflered. In the fall of the year pureâ€"bred animals for breeding purposes, especially rams and sows in pig, should bp offered for sale. Dairy cows and store animals for fattening purposes might also be of- fered. The remarks were all well received an it is said that a sale of this sort will be established at Port Perry. Almost. all animals, whether for breeding purposes. for butchers, or for dairy purposes are bought and sold at public auction in the Old Country. Such a thing as a drovcr running about the country picking up animals here and there, as they do :n this country is almost un- known in the Old Country. The auction sale principle was introduc- ed from seventy-five to one hundred years ago, and it has gradually in- creased and overspread the country so that it is in general practice to- day. WELL-FED ANIMALS POPULAR An excellent. lesson was emphati- cally taught by the recent sale at Port Perry. Nearly all the pigs of- fercxl for auction were of excellent quality in point of breeding, but on- ly those that were brought out ill good condition, large and growthy for their age, sold for high prices. The The hogs sold for ;0w prices. hogs sold for low prices were. in many cases, excellent individuals of superior breeding; but they were small for their age, Mecausc they had not been fed properly. With good management, many of these will, in time, develope into lquitc as useful animals as those selling for higher prices; but the buyers judged the pigs by their present appearance, taking no chances or future possi- bilities. and gauged their biddipig ac- cordingly. The lesson to be learned is that, if farmers: wish {to oli‘lain the best iprices for their stock at either pub- Ilic or private sale they must see to ,it that their animals are not only ‘well bred but also well fed from birth. Neither breeding or feeding is sufficient of itself. No amount of feeding will make an ill-bred animal valuable for breeding purposes; on the other hand, the best of breeding is insufficient in itself if the animal Iw inrlilT-il'ently fed. A \Vl‘l‘ bred. well fed animal will always maud a good price. -_______§___.___ FARMERS OF THE NORTHWEST BEING HELPED BY GOVERNMENT vigorously subdued (Continued from page one) every facility for studying the murk- ets and also to be in a position to ISM" at once on receipt of crhlegrum In the case of trade with warships. for instance, ' they sometimes stay several weeks at this cooling station and in that time it would be possi- l blc to get a supply of fresh 1,)ltter to ithem from Canada.
