SMELL.Horses Determine the Quality of Food and Location by the Nose.The following from \u201cHorse and Stable\u201d shows how keen indeed must be the horse's sense of smell: \u201cThe horse will leave musty hay untouched in his bin, however hungry.He will not drink of water objectionable to his questioning sniff, or from \"a bucket which some odor makes offensive, however thirsty.His intelligent nostril will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered by the fairest of hands, with coaxings that would make a mortal shut his eyes and swallow a nauseous mouthful at a gulp.A mare is never satisfled by either sight\u2019 or whinney that her colt is really her own until she has a certified nasal certificate to the fact.A blind horse, now living, wil not allow the approach of any stranger without showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded.The distinction is evidently made by his sense of smell and at a considerable distance.Blind horses.as a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surrounding fence.The sense of smell informs them of its proximity.Others will, when loosened from the stable, go direct to the gate or bars operied to their ae- customed feeding grounds, and when desiring to return, after hours of careless wandering, will distinguish one outlet and patiently await its opening.The snse of smell informs them the fence is their pilot to it.The horse, in browsing or while gathering herbage with its lips, is guided in its choice of proper food entirely by its nostrils.Blind horses do not make mistakes in their diet.\u201d Individual Hog Houses.\u201cNoticing articles from time to time on the construction of individual hog houses, I wish to submit the plan of houses that we use,\u201d writes a corre spondent of the Breeder's Gazette.\u201cI make them six feet square on the ground, both doors to be hinged so they will open and close readily.Twelve-foot boards make side and roof.I use good soft pine flooring, as it is lighter and much easier to move when necessary than heavier Individual Hog House.Four pieces 2 by 4 inches and six feet long are for sills.Two pieces 2 by 4 inches and 6 feet long are for ridge and plate.«If this plan is used it will be found much more satisfactory than a lumber.plain A shaped house.The door in the roof can be opened when the sun shines.Sunshine is the best tonic known for little pigs, and the door is essential when the sow needs attention at pigging time as a means of entrance and as is sometimes the case, hasty exit.\u201d Live Stock Notes.Close confinement of hogs is permissible only in the last stages of finishing for the market.It is a mistake to fail to feed the pigs bone and muscle materials during their growth.It is a mistake to feed all sizes to gether whenever the smaller oues are at a disadvantage.You can breed the nubbins out of the corn just as easy &s you can breed the scrub cows out of the dairy herd.That nice ewe is just as nice for you to keep as she is for the man who likes the looks of her to buy Unless you are overstocked, keep her; and if you are, better sell some other sheep.Keep a Few Sheep.Sheep produce the richest manure of all domestic animals, and they distribute it in such a way that it does the most good to pastures and field.The droppings of horses and cattle do considerable damage to grass.- The feed sheep pick up is just like finding money.No man would pass a piece of money on the ground and not pick it up.Why not get an animal that will pick up more money in a month than you will ever find in a lifetime?Foed the Bull.The bull to be strong and vigorous and of good use must be fed, sheltered and given exercise.The stall should be roomy and strong, but not boarded up tight.The animal will be better contented if he can see out and has plenty of light.A lot or small pasture for open exercise is necessary for health and vigor.Clean stall and good geueral sanitation should not be neglected.An unhealthy or filthy bull will soon mean a diseased herd.Develop the Muesles.Moderate work for the young horse fs helpful in developing his muscles, and in no way impairs his value, but really adds to his qualities and future usefulness, whether kept for a breed- es or otherwise.BADE GIF \"NE MILLIONS £.T.Stotesbury, Partner of J.P.Morgan, Weds Mrs.Lucretia R.Cromwell GROOM 1S 63 YEARS OLD Washington Sees Its Most

contents of the treasure room of gifts guarded by a score of detectives\u2014whose fashionably correct attiré made them incon- spicuous\u2014almost took their breath away.Although both bride and bride groom were well along in the summer of life, no debutante\u2019s wedding was ever attended with more keen interest by the quests than this one.Mrs.Cromwell, looking charming in a wedding gown of old ivory uncut velvet, appeared as sparkling and happy as a girl of eighteen, while it was a matter of general comment bow young Mr, Stotesbury appeared.No bride ever had a more extensive trousseau.It

W.K.Woodbury, at torney for the Law and Order Society, and presented Court with a big petition protesting against increasing the number of salocns in the county.Mrs, George R.Moll, president of the society, made a speech, which moved many of the audience to tears, attributing the crime wave in this section to the numerous saloons with which every town is dotted.Catholic priests and Protestant clergymen united in asking the Court to grant no new license in Pottsville.Government Buliding Shaken.Washington, D.C.\u2014The big Government Printing Office was rocked by & violent explosion and,

air without informing her suite.She returned et seven o'clock, and breakfasted lightly on a cup of tea, with a single biscuit.She then disappeared into her apartments and de voted two hours to her toilet.Her second meal was taken at eleven, and consisted of a cup of clear soup, an egg, and one or two glasses of meat juice, extracted every travels.She aleo tasted a light dish or two, with a preference for sweets.ALWAYS YOUTHFUL The Empress wag exceedingly proud of ber youthful figure, and Paoli mentions that when she was fifty-eight years of age she looked like a girl, and had the figure of a girl and a girl's lightness and grace of movement.\u201cI realized later that ¢he owed her viavclous colouring to the long walks which she was in the constant habit of taking.She wore a smartly- cut tallor-made dress, all in black, which accentuaied the slimness of her wasp-like waist.The beauty of her figure was a matter of which she was frankly vain; she had herself weighed every day.\u201d The Empress was extremely careful in regard to her tollet.She could not bear to have water, even for the purpose of her toilet, brought to her in any other vessel than glass-stop- pered bottles.On the other hand, she never slept on any but a hard mattress, a fact which one would scarcely have suspected from the arie- tocratic daintinesg of her person.VERY FOND OF COWS One of her manias was a weakness for buying cows.Indeed, she bought one in every country which she vieited for the finet time.She chose it herself in the course of her walks, and had it sent to one of her farms in Hungary.As soon as she saw a cow the colour of whose coat pleased her, she would accost the peasant, ask the animal's price, and tell him to take it to her hotel.Two strange Incidents incline one to the belief that the Empress re- celved a pressentiment of her tragic end.\u201cOn the eve of her departure for Geneva ehe asked Mr.Barker to i k ° | ° i q | R E i Pp i i | g !

Practical Statement of the Advant ages of Using Machines.Have taken the liberty to write you more fully in regard to my statement to you regarding getting more milk from the cows with the milking machines.I milk regularly and do it myself every time with few exceptions, those being when I am away and cannot get home in time; then my wife superin- tonds the milking and shows the man how to handle the milkers.I milk the cows on an average of nine months, have four heifers that freshened at two years of age, and have milked them within ten days of one year; shall continue to milk them \u201cuntil the flush of grass is over, and have not stripped them since the first three months, and they are giving good messes yet.: Have milked cows that would give the pails full for six months, and not vary a quart only when in heat, and continued milking them four months longer, and had to tell them to quit as they were within six weeks of freshening again.Four of these cows were stripped every milking and two wera not after four months.Now regarding labor and the saving in operation of milkers over hand labor.This was my old schedule: Three men from half past five in the morning until seven o'clock milking and chores.In the field after house chores and breakfast\u2014eight o'clock.All hands leave the field at half past four to do night chores and finish at six o'clock.My present schedule is teams and men in the field at seven o'clock, quit at six o'clock, all done but feeding horses.Find this a saving in wages of one man in summer from the above, and do not have any trouble In getting help, (as they do not have to milk) or in keeping them.\u2014D.P.Brown in the American Cultivator.How to Milk a Cow.Cows are always milked from the off, or right, side because they have been taught that way.A cow can be milked from either elde if she ls brought up right, but the lessons must begin at the earliest handling of the heifer.Milk first from one side and then the other, and in a short time the heifer will not mind.It often comes handy to mfik from the left side and cows should be trained to stand for it.The man who will make a pet of his cow will have no trouble and will get greater benefit at milking time than the one who treats ber as a stranger, if not an enemy.\u2014Fleld and Farm.For More Wholesome Milk.The New York station says that the greater the attention paid to scrupulous cleanliness in handling milk at all stages, the shorter the time that elapses between the draw- Ing, straining and cooling of milk and the lower the temperature to which it is cooled, the-greater its freedom from micro-organisms, the longer it will retain its normal condition, the more profitdble its production will be, and the more wholesome will it be for old and young._- Short Rations a Mistake.One of the great mistakes made by dairymen 18 the idea that they can keep their cows on short rations during the winter and have them pick up on grass the next season and make them fair profits.The cow which is reduced to semi-starvation during the winter must supply the needs of her own system first before she can milk as well as ever \u2014Epitomist.Dairy Barns.The best dairy barus are long, with low ceilings.Ventilation is enhanced if the ceilings are low.To keep the stable free from flies at milking time \u2019 burlap curtalns should be hung in the windows and the windows should be xd plentiful.Young and old have them.Some abuse them.They get tired, starved.SYMPTOMS :\u2014Loss of sleep and appetite, indigestion, irritability, eventually wrecked constitution.Alcoholic remedies stimulate only.Scott\u2019s Emulsion soothes and nourishes, | feeds the nerves.A natural nerve-food, con- § taining the salts of Hypo- - phosphites, Iodine and Glycerine.NO ALCOHOL.ALL DRUGGISTS Notes.Clean, dry bedding is always nee: essary in the hoghouse.Milk from a cow which has tuber culosis does not produce immediate harm, but many seeds of the great white plague, consumption, are sown during infancy in milk.Don't turn the cattle on the pasture too early.Wait until yosFare sure the grasB is sufficiently large to turn them on, then wait a week or ten days longer.There never was a dalryman yet who could offer an excuse for keep ing scrub cows in his herd.The reason ls very simple; there is no excuse At present high prices the dairyman should raise as much of his own fecd as possible.Don't use cheap salt in making butter.Use table salt as the barre) kind is too coarse, Fresh, clean, solid butter always brings a better price on the market than the soft kind.Dairy cows should not be too fat to put on flesh.it cows that are well fed and pron erly cared for do not prove profitabi- dispose of them and get others.In building up the herd it

Dismissed from Positien of Olesk of Works at Publis Building.SUCCEEDED BY J.LOWELL.For the firet time the political axe has fallen at Rock Island.On Tuesday Mr.B.E.Drew, clerk of works at the public building, received bis dismissal, The first intimation of his official decapitation was contained in the following letter: PUBLIC WORKS, CANADA CHIEF ARCHITECT'S OFFICE, OTTAWA, MARCH 28, 1912.B.OC.Drew, Clerk of Wor Public Bui Rock Island.P.Q.m directed to inform you that your servies a8 Clerk of Works at the Public Buildin at Rock Island are no longer required and tha Mr.Jos.Lowell has been appointed in your place.You will, therefore, please hand over all papers, ete., in your Ponscsaion belonging D Brent tou well Yours t ve ~ D.Ew \u2018Chief Architect.It is said that some of the local Conservative leaders favored the retention of Mr.Drew, but that they were overpowered by the forces demanding his dismissal.It is further rumored that some would prefer to have all diemissals siayed, at least until after - the Provincial elections.While Mr.Drew bad received no official notification that his services were likely to be dispensed with, it must not be understood that he was taken entirely by surprise.These appointments are made asa reward for service to a party, and under our political system when a change in government comes the position of any man in the \u201coutside civil service\u201d becomes extremely hazardous.Qualifications, ability, devotion to duty do not count where a man is of the opposite political stripe.Tha number of available positions at Rock d is small and a clean sweep of these cannot be expected, for the reason that at least two appointments, one in the post-office, the other in the customs service, were made by a former Conservative Government, these officials holding their positions throughout the Liberal regime.Spring Stock of White and Black Long 8ilk Gloves for Ladies.Fownes make at Melloon\u2019s, 75 cents and

had the storm been gathering.As one reads with dispassionate judgments the history of those preceding years, one wonders, not that the war should have happened, bat that it should have been delayed so long.The autumn of 1860 was full of ramors of discontent, seceseion, armed uprising and many things undefined and misunderstood.The general feeling throughout the North was that the Union of States could not be dissolved.Was it not a Government of the people and by the people and would not the good common sense and love of an undivided country of the majority of the people still prevail and all this spirit of turbulence pass off as formerly, in wordy battles in the Captitol at Washington.What then was the horror, the consternation, the instant birth of battle instinct, which surged like a torch of flame through city streets, by quiet hamlets or lonely farms, in crowded faptories or college balls, wherever dwelt men who could fight or women who might weep, when on April 14th, 1861, Fort Sompter was attacked and surrendered to the Southern Confederated States.All winter the Southerners had been preparing for the fray.The men were by nature more of a warlike spirit than their countrymen of the North.Many officers and men well trained in the Mexican war etill lived in the South.And a large portion of the military stores and equipments of the nation were held there.When the drum-beat sSunded through the North for volunteers for three months\u2019 service, it was thought that that short time would be sufficient to quell the insurrection.The city companies, first to receive the news, were the first to start for the front.The 6th Massachusetts were the first.The 7th New York, and other regiments already formed, followed almost immediately.Their uniforms and weapons were mostly designed for show and holiday attire, picturesque but unsuitable for bard campaigning.The Zouaves were dressed in a peculiar garb, copied from that of the victorious troops of Southern Europe.The farmer boys left the plow in the furrow and clad in homespun, seized the same old guns that had done duty in father\u2019s cornfield; students rushed from College class rooms to the recruiting stations, civilians without arms, adventurers, the flotsam and jeteam of the cities, all rushed to Washington animated with one grand idea to save the Union in three months.\u201c It is not the design of this paper to deal in any manner with the battle history of those ead and heroic years of warfare.* Histories and biographies of that time are legion and can be read by all who choose.We would only attempt to rescue from oblivion some reminiscences of the times, the trials, the heartbreak and the heroism of the home-keepers, the mothers, wives and children, the sweethearts and friends lett behind, especially of this vicinity.Also to touch npon some unwritten incidents, nearly forgotten, and to pay a tribute of honor and affection to the memory of those to whom honor is due.How little did this American nation know of war and its horrors in those early days of 1861.How little did even its leaders foresee the baptism of blood which was to follow the call for seventy-five thousand three months\u2019 volunteers.In the early days of the war there was displayed a kind of sentiment that could only belong to its hope of an early settlement.There had been no gaps made in the family circles; the harsher aspect of the struggle was yet to come.There was but the grand thought of saving the country; the glow of patriotism, the love of glory.Bat before the summer\u2019s greenery had flamed into blood red autumnal tints there came a bitter change.Says Julian Hawthorne the historian: \u2018\u2018When the first three monthe\u2019 men came back to their native village they were hardly recognizable for the gawky citizens that had gone forth so lately.Their figures were wiry and erect; their lean faces were tanned by the summer suns of Virginia, they walked with the long, springy, measured step of war.They were now disciplined sol: diers who had shot and been shot at, had faced death, had obeyed orders, had made a part of battles.The difference was wonderful and it never wore away.Many who marched forth returned no more forever; there were empty spaces in almost every household as the years went by.Everywhere you saw the sign of mourning, à eight so common that one ceased to notice it.The war correspondents of that day were few, but the newspapers were absorbing reading nevertheless.There were the black headlines; the columns of terse nara- tivo.The lists of dead and wounded soon had to be given up, save for the names of leading officers.Short or long, those lists of dead, wounded and missing were 8s trying to the women\u2019s hearts at home as was the charge that caused them to the soldiers who faced the guns.Yes, far more trying; for the charge was made in bot blood and fierce excitement with glory to win and only one\u2019s own death to face.But the lists were read in the lonely home; cold and trembling fingers held the paper; the eyes were strained, the cheeks were pale; the heart stood still or leaped by turns.There was no excitement to sustain the wife or mother; no glory to gain, and the death, it it came, came not to her but to the one she loved best.No adequate history could ever be written of the women of the Civil war; but it is strange indeed that no great sculptor or architect has been commissioned to erect some mighty monument, to commemorate forever in enduring marble, her heroism, her sacrifices, her achievements.Let us here pause a moment to remember that whatever is here said of the women of the North applies equally to our sisters of the South.May we not remember that whatever suffering and misfortunes befell the women of the North they were experienced in even larger measure by the women of the South.War waged at their very doors.Destruction and loes of property, want and suffering for the very necessities of lite were added to the mourning for loved ones lost.History tells us that Sherman in his march to the sea left a path of destruction sixty miles wide behind bim.My eldest sister, lately passed away, who lived more than sixty years in Alabama, says: \u201cWhen we heard that Sherman's army was coming, we baried all our valuables in the garden.When the raid was over, every article of food on the place was carried away or destroyed, starvation would have been our fate bad mot some friends fared better and divided with us.And the negroes had dug up our valuables and decamped we knew not whither.\u201d .Surely in the magnanimity of our souls we can, after the lapse of fifty years, extend our most hearty sympathy.Another grief borne by many womea of beth sides in silent sorrow was the division of families.In many instances, brother fought against brother, son against father.Wives by birth and aympathy on ome side, husbands fighting on the otber.The following extract from \u2018Abraham Lincoln, the Boy and the Man,\u201d illué- trates this in a forcible manner.LINCOLN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.\u201cThe full meaning of the civil War was brought home to the Lincolns in the White House as mach as to any family in the land.To multitudes alike in the North und in the South it differed little from a strife with a foreign nation.Their families were not divided by it, and they never were called upon to sorrow over a fallen foe.\u201cOn the other hand, the battles line crossed the very bearthstone of the President's home.The President of the United States was as much a southerner by birth as the president of the confederate states himself, since both were born in Kentucky.Some of Lincoln\u2019s oldest and dearest friends wore the gray.\u201cMrs.Lincoln, too, was a Kentuckian and deeply attached to her Bouthern kindred.The husband of one of her sisters, Bon Hardin Helm, had been a favorite of her own husband.When Lincoln became president he summoned Helm to Washington for the purpose of giving him a placo of honor under the administration.On his return to Kentucky, a majos\u2019s commission was forwarded to him by the president; but Helm after a painful wrestle with his doubts went with the South.He showed himeelf u brilliant soldier and died gallantly on the field of Chickamauga.; \u201cThere ie à story, that after the news of the battle reached Washington, the great chieftain of the Union was found in bitter tears, weeping over the loss of this Confederate brigadier.Not only Were several of Mrs.Lincoln's sisters parted from her by the war, their husband\u2019s hands against her husband\u2019s cause, but some of her brothers as well were in the confederate service.\u201cWhile the duty fell to her to open a grand ball in honor of the union victory at Shiloh, one of her brothers, who in bis youth bad been the darling of her heart, lay dead on that battlefield in a uniform of gray.Another brother in the confederacy fell at Vickersburg and was dying while his sister in the White House listened to the shouts of rejoicing over the victory of Grant.\u201d It was a solace to those women to busy themselves with work which might-in any way minister to the comfort of the soldiers in the fleld.If not for their own loved ones, then to some other mother\u2019s boy who needed aid.No nation was ever quite prepared for war, and tbe magnitude of this strangle called into requisition every aid of money, means or work which could be obtained.WOMEN OF STANSTEAD ASSISTED.The boundary line has never troubled the women of the Three Villages, and the women of Stanstead joined gladly with the women of Derby to do whatever they could in the good work of furnishing warm clothing, hospital supplies, sanitary appliances, anything \u201cfost needed as reported by the Sanitary Commission, or other relief associations.Derby Line had as Senator resident in Washington, the Hon.Portus Baxter.Mrs.Baxter was most active in ail relief work.The two sons, Jedediah and Leslie, as surgeons, were both working in the hospitals.From Mrs.Baxter came directions to her faithful friends of these villages.We met weekly and work was done at home between times.Indeed it was the custom of the time to be always knitting, at concert or lecture \u2018the needles clicked as feeting and mittens were deftly fashiomed.The mittens were knit with tbumb and fore-finger.Only on the Sabbath day the women rested.At one time Mre.Baxter sent to a friend to open her house in this village and take out her fine table linen which was scraped into lint for use in the hospitals.The Sanitary Commission and the Grand Army of Nurses have a record of most wonderful achievements.Few of those workers are left with us to-day.They toiled with no thought of fame or glory, only the noble motherhood of their nature went ont to help and rescue wherever the horrors of war had sowed its terrible barvest of carnage and suffering.Since penning this tribute the public prints are containing the following: ENTITLED A TARDY HONOR.\u201cFitty years after the civil war it has acourred to the nation that the services of women in that great struggle were worthy of some memorial, and a movement to raise $500,000 for a National monument in Washington has been started by the Military Order of the Loyal Legion.Fifty years afterward, scarcely a town in the land but has raised a memorial to the men who gave their lives to the Union, but public recognition of women\u2019s share in the war bas been trusted chiefly to the tongues of orators, and the generation is passing which remembers these things.Yet those were the women of whom Lincoln himself said: \u201cI am not accustomed to the language of eulogy.I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women, but I must say that if all that has been said since the creation of the world in praise of women was applied to the women of America it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war.\u201d \u201cThese were the women who gave their husbands and sons and sweethearts to be shot down in battle, bade them cheerful good-byes as the regiment marched away, and went home alone to weep and scrape lint or make bandages for somebody\u2019s else boy if her own had gone where he needed no more bandages.Women are still living who remember\u2014rather who cannot forget\u2014 those days say that all women worked together, re- gardiess of social position or wealth or creed or family feuds.To Boston one Thursday Dorothea Dix sent ap order for five hundred shicte for her hospital at Washington.On Friday the women of Beacon Street apd the slums of the South End out made and packed those shirts and sent them on their way that very night.The organisation of woman\u2019s work in the war was as remarkable as its devotion.Eleven days after the fall of Fort Sumpter the Woman\u2019s Relief Association was formed in New York.: All over the country these societies for relief sprang into being and were soon merged into the Sanitary Commission, headed by Mrs.Jane O.Hodge and Mrs.Mary A.Livermore.Thies was under government control and bad full charge of the welfare work for the soldiers and is credited with having saved more than 184,000 lives.\u201d The bravery of the women who stayed at home and eent their loved ones into battle and fever-laden camps was equalled by another class of women whom the nation ie to bonor\u2014after fifty years\u2014those who went into the battles and the campe themeelves to nurse the soldiers.Delicate, high-born girls many of them were \u2014a thousand were sent home.Dorothea Dix was first on the front, nursing the wounded after the Baltimore mob.Io June, 1861, she was made Superintendent of (Continued on seventh page.) à FARM AND FIELD CHANGE YOUR SEED WHEAT Many farmers make the mistake of sowing year after year a variety of wheat which ylelds several bushels less per acre under their conditions than some other variety would do under the same conditions.Often the only reason why a particular variety Las become popular in certain localities is because when first introduced it gave an extra high yield, due more to exceptionally good treatment in a favorable season than high-yielding qualities of the variety.When & new variety is introduced in a community or on a farm it should always be grown (n the same field and boside s well-known or standard variety.It is difficult to determine the poasibility of on variety when oomparing a field on one end of the farm with another on the other end, or what is still worse, comparing one man\u2019s field with that of his neighbor.Dr.JAMES BARCLAY, Preacher and soldier A son of the manse and the soil Constipation is

Que- RHURARB IN WINTER Forcing rhubarb for winter use is so simple and inexpensive that any family having a few rhubarb roots mar enjoy this luxury throughout the entire winter.A corner in the collar or in the attic may be used, where a few roots may be set in a large box or on the floor \u2018itself.Pack the frozen roots clone together filling in pan packing with earth to hold moisture.Cover the crows and keep them moist.Water slightly until the shoots appear when more water may be given.Unless the roots are neglected and allowed to decay after they have ceased bearing, there is no objectionable feature whatever connected with forcing in the house as very Mttle artificlal molature is required and consequently no dampness or objectionable odors are given off.One of the pleasing features of the work is that after the forcing part ls over the rhubarb may be matured at will.Forcing may begin at once or the roots can be kept in a dormant state for weeks as desired.It a plentiful supply of roots is at hand and the room for forcing is limited two crops may be grown in succession.A Cause of Sickness The primary cause of many inter nal complains of hogs is the fermentation set up in the hog tub, into which refuse, often quite unsuitable for food, may be thrown, and in which which refuse that may originally de suitable changes its character.It te difficult to avoid trouble of this kind, but there is need for some correction of the idea that anything, how ever offensive, may be safely fed to pigs, for many cases of serious illness have been traced to the hog tub One waraing is specially oalled for \u2014to beware of the presence of salt and soda in the swill.Both, in anything lke large quantities, are pole sonous to pigs, and this fact is not to be set aside because someone has given his pigs a little of either and found that no harm resulted.The swill in use io many places receives the remains on the dinner plates, on each of which there is probably some salt, the contents of the weshing up pans, and other kitchen liquids in which sode and salt have been used, and the amount that may unwitting ly be given to the pigs in this way is sufficient to cause sickness.Potgjoes in Alberta That Alberta can grow potatoes equal to the famous British Columbia Ashcroft potatoes, is the opinion of Canadian Pacific Rallwey officials of the Dining and Sleepiypg Gar Depart ment.The Canadian Pacific le wav this season placed ten acres of potatoes on the perimental Farm at Brooks, which are so excellent in quality and size that the entire out put bas been bought up by the Dining Car Department at a special price.That the country round Brooks is ea- pecially adapted to the growth of fine potatoes is now proven, and will be welcome news to the farmers on that district.Silage Net Geed for Herses Owing ¢o the large quantity of water in silage and relatively low nutritive value, silage is not adapted as a feed for working horses.Unlike.the cow, the horse has

necessary for the task.Pages might be written about these nurses, but perhaps one of the moss picturesque and useful was \u201cMother\u201d Bickerdyke.She made the private soldiers ber especial care saying: \u201cThey were dear to somebody and she would be a mother to them.\u201d That bomely figure, clad in calico, wrapped ina shawl and surmouuted by a Shaker bonuet is more to this army than the Madonna to a Catholic, sald one of tho officers: After the battle of Donelson, when the relief parties bad discontinued their work for the night, the General observed a faint light flitting about on
