Every woman's health depends up- on her bloodâ€"its richness and its reâ€" gularity. Sometimes it is hard to beliete that. nearly all common (lis-i eases spring from the blood, no mat-4 farmers who team to delight in tell-itcr how different. they may seem. it ing of f'c lvomi acres which have Umotcd to certain crops. rare- ly indulge in telling how much they! produced per acre. Then, there are -mm farmers who may be deemed land-pooh though they live in corn- modious dwellings, and have sheds full of machinery, and some out-ofâ€" doars with the blue canopy of heav- en for a. covering. The farmers who are to-day mak- ing the most money are those. who have but few acres and who cultivation. Hence it is that. land improves instead of yielding less and less as the years go by. large farmer has not the time to consider the importance of suuplyâ€" ing his land with the necessary humus by the plowing down of green crops and the practicing of devices So necessary to keep up the fertility of the soil, without which the farmâ€" er feels that his occupation consists of hard work and no pay. If we can produce a much better crop than that crop generally is, it. is in- deed a. pleasure to look at it, and a. greater pleasure when we come to harvest the same. After all it is only tlte good crop that is going to pay any dividend. ‘Somc kinr‘s of soils need morel thorough tillage than others, Lands with a. goodly mixture of clay needs to 1-9 frequently sown to clover or other green crop which can be plowâ€" ed under; or the application of corn stalks, straw, or anything that will ' lighten and loosen it; besides more time spent in rolling and harrowing than lands of a sandy nature. Plant foot! and moisture, which are necesâ€" sary to keep the crop in a. growing; condition through the dry season. exist in the lumps that have not been crushed. and are therefore not avaiiable. Soils devoid of humus are not capable of retaining mois- ture. When the ordinary farmer (1905 not, have a good crop, he says. "it has been too dry for a. crop," when as a matter of fact, lands which are properly treated do best whcn there is only a moderate amount of rain. 1t well becomes the farmer of toâ€"day to study these con- ditions and to so treat his lands that failures become exceptions and not the general result. Many seem to be posseSSed of ther idea. that farming is the creature of chemo, who say that those who al- ways have good crops are favored by the All Wiserâ€"their good luckâ€" but. good luck is generall the result of good management. and when we, adopt the best methods our luck, too, will be good, and the reward will be commensurate to the brains and pains we put into the work. WINTER FARMING . I 'fhese exteemely cold days and the heavy body of snow tax a farmer’s energies to the utmost, but they ShOJd also stimulate thought as to needs amd methods for better conditions and higher expenses in other winter seasons, as well as betâ€" ter work and supplics for the sumâ€" they I i have 'and irritable "3119 to employ the best methods of'and biliousness; ‘ hisllangor; the distress and despondency The l mer campaign, and the securing of better results tn'ercfrom. The most successful farmers are‘ those that farm winters as well as summers. In fact, the most imporâ€" tant work on the farm must be done during the winter, if we are to make the most of opr business, \v'i7..: car- irg for the stock and planning for, the summer. Without constant at-l tention what might have been a. good profit on the stock can be.| is hard, for instance. to realize that rheumatism and indigestion are both the (auto of bad blood, and both cured by good blood. llut there can be no doubt in the Case of tho sccrct troubles of u. woman's life, I: om fifteen to fifty. The blood is plainly the cause of all her irregularities in health. Then comes the signs of so« cret illness, the headaches; back- aches and si'deaches; the pale cheeks and dull eyes; the failing appetite nerves; the hysteria the weakness and and all the weary wretched feelings that. attack women in their times of illâ€"health. And the blood is to blame for it all. When the blood is rich and red and regular, there is little trouble in the life of maid or moth- er. That is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are worth their weight in gold to every woman. They actually make new blood. Every dose sends galloping through the veins pure, strong, rich red blood that strikes at the cause of the secret ill-health: The new blood restores rcgulatity and braces all the spetial organs for their soccâ€" ial tasks. In this way Dr. Wil- liums' Pink Pills banish the backâ€" achcs and headaches, sharpen the ap- petite and the energies, soothe the nerves and bring back the rosy glow of health to faded cheeks. This is the. special mission of Dr. Williams' Pin" Pills and there is no other med- icine in the world can do it so sucâ€" cessfully. Mrs. Geo. Danby, of Til- bury, Ont. has proved the truth of these statements and says so for the benefit her experience may bring to other suffering women. Mrs. Danâ€" by says : "I think Dr. Williams Pink Pills a blessing to suffering women. For a long time 1 was a great suf- fer er from the ailments that afflict so many of my sex. I was extremely nervous at all times, suffered a great deal with headaches and indigestion. In fact I was in a most miserable condition when I began the us of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but after taking them a short time I began to improve, and through their further use I am altogether like a. new woâ€" man. I am sure if more women would take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills they would be convinced of the great good they can do.” What Dr. Wifdiams' Pink Pills have done for Mrs. Danby they can do for every growing girl and ailing woman in Canada, if they are. given a fair and reasonable use. But you must make sure you git the genuine pills with the full nun» "Dr. Williams-3' Pink Pills for Pale People" on the wrapper around every box.

They need not only good feed, but must have the watchful eye of the feeder. Besides this there is the planning for the summer campaign. Spring comes on in a hurry, and the farmer that is Caught unready for the strug- gle when the weather opens must be the loser thereby. The farmer that meets with success is the one who has the crops for every field planned, the seed well selected and prepared, the tools in Perfect condition, the harness repaired and well fitted to the team that is to wear them, the horses mated to work best together and put in good working condition.

As a glcnncr of small crops, a smcr of little waste, the is unexcelled. No one breed of sheep can succeed bo.t on all soils and in all situa- tions. There is as much hpportunity for profitable economics in the clue of sheep as in any other business. The more neatly mutton yearliugs are trimmed up, docked, el.c., the better they will sell. The secret of successful sheep husâ€" bandy does not lie so much in the ability to cure dis-eases as to keep the flock healthy. Sleep, grain fed and well protectâ€" ed from the weather, will furnish wool of a. stronger fibre than that from sheep unnrotccted. Tie term “scoured” does not of Llself nit-an perfectly clean wool, but. is a technical expression in the manner of (lcnnsing. It is only good fat shch that pay in current markets and in many cases the profits of even hose are doubtful. 1i any profit is to be dc:ivcd from keeping; sheep it must, come from ithoso kept in a good average conâ€" ldilion. Every man who owns a. flock will a nd shccp find it an advantage to keep an account with it by which he will be able to tell just what his returns are. A small flock of sheep can be kept on almost e\ery farm with very litâ€" tle inconvenience, and with a little care can be made to return a good profit. The experiment in sheep breeding has an advantage over the breeder of horses or cattle in the more rapid development of stock, and is able to tell the effect sooner. That the sheep breeder is usually more successful who brccds in as nearly a straight line as the requireâ€" ments of his flock for new blood will permit. Umlcr present. conditions it is a mistake to ignore the mutton side of flock returns when the outcome of the business is being considered.

Sleighs are drawn by horses, etc. in some cases (logs are trained to draw sleighs just as the Eskimos train their dogs to draw the sledges. The farmers' wives and daughters make an abundance of cheeses, which find their way both to American and British markets. As we get near Montreal we see two black lines stretching across the river, which turn out to be the two great railway bridges across the St. Lawrence. .If the whole of Canada had a tem- perate climate without. great exâ€" tremes of heat and cold, it would ultimately become one of tie most prosperous countries of the world. The Niagara.

A Canadian lady once said that the winters were "delightfully cold," though milk is delivered to custom- ers in a solid state, though the therâ€" mometer sometimes registers 60 deâ€" grees of frost, and the ground is covered with four or five fcet of snow. The rivers and the lakes are then held in bondage by the iron grip of the ice. and the vast terri- tory of millions of square miles is one mass of dazzling white. Although the inland lakes rivers are unnavigable for months in the yearâ€"although are Juneâ€"and although frost reigns suâ€" preme for five months out of every twelve, winter to the Canadian is a season of activity.
