Variations â€" Monton, Mansen. Racial Origin â€" English, also Scottish. Source â€" Given names. Munson Is a family name of quite simple and regular origlo, but you'd barJiy gnese tlie given name from which It comes unless you were fa- miliar with the manner in which the Bbglish of the Middle Ages abbrevi- ated their given namee. Many of the shortened forms of given names' were the same as those we use to-day, such as Dick for Ricb- ard, Harry for Henry, Ed. for Edward, Edgar for E^dmond^ and so on. But there was also a method of using other syllables of a name than the first for purposes of abbreviation and variation. This has virtually disappeared among JBngHsh-speaking peoples, though it re- mains among the Germans among whom Hans for John (from "Johan- nes") Is widespread. In medieval England "Munn," "Mun" and "Mon" were regular variations of Edmond and Edmund, and the simple addition of th« ending "son" to one or the other of these forms has given us the patroaymiics Munson, Monson and In some cases, through further varia- tion, Manson. Manson, however, is more likely to be of Scottish origin of "Magnus-son." This is the naine of one of the septs or branches of the Caan Gunn, that clan which rose to pro- minence in the fifteenth century aa the followers of George Gunn, the "Crowner" of Coroner, a historic figure In Scottish history. to-day, there would be few, If any, familleB bearing names in this group. But medieval England di-ew its water from wells; hence the family names of Welier, Wells, Welman, Atwell and CrossweUer. Wells were important enough, and far enough apart in the days when family names began to form to make such names quite widespread. Fami- lies which lived in proximity to the wells quit« naturaJiy were distiuguish- ed by refai'ence to the fact in the con- versation of their neighbors. The name WeLler is a combination of the word "well," and an old Anglo- Saxon word "were," meaning "man." It is, in fact, exactly the same name aa Welman. In medieval English the use of the termination "er" was much more common than it is to-day, though the modern use of it can by no means be considered restricted. The name Atwell ia a survival of an- other method of saying that a person lived near a well. The original form was "Atte Well," and such names as "Roger Atte Well" are quite common In the old records. The modern name of Wells may represent a shortening either of Atwell or Welier or Welman. The "croS'Sweller" was one who dwelt near a "crosswell." It was customary in medieval England to erect shrines a development | yf^Y^ mue crucifixes, here and there I along the roadside. Often such shrines would be located at or near a well, and such places were known as "cross- wells." .5 In 192.3 there were 333 establish- ments in Canada manufacturing pro- ducts from metals other than iron and steel. These included 11 plants pro* ducing aluminium and aluminium wares; 81 plants fabricating brass and copper products ; 20 plants in the white metal trade; 97 plants manufac- turing precious metal products; 108 the bull was kept for aiiotJk«r iteason la I splt«r of our observaUoBS. When the ! steers were put In to feed when rising i two years, as is our custom, the folly of our selection most glaringly stared us in the face every time we went to feed them. They wouldn't respond to good feeding and attention. There was little pleasure in trying to fatten them and they went to market with few exceptions an Inferior bunch. We had learned our lesson and sometimes think it was fortunate that we did keep the bull long enough to be really im- pressed forever by the experieucea and loss of a cheap sire. •mr next bull was of Grainford Mar- quis blood costing $100 at six months. Our first crop of calves healed our wounds. Fine growthy fellows, they accounted for any feed given, were a source of pleasure to the eye and brought the best price when sent to market. t'ounting the difference in â-  â€" weight, adding the extra value per Aching Backs and Tired Limbs i'*""'^ ''".'^ '"f ^'"^ allowance for feed ..._.. _ . .

What's her line, I wonder? She called at evary house down the main road and I suppose she will stop here some day soon," questioned the bachelor of the "Corners" as he sat down beside the door to enjoy his after-dinner smoke and watcli the sun go down In all Its glory behind the wooded hills. "Why, weren't you at the meet- ing? Oh, no. It was held while you were in Toronto for the Winter BUlr," replied his sister, who had come over lust for a chat. And so he had all his auestions answered: "That woman" was a nurse, but a nurse who helped people before they got sick, as well as when they had to stay in bed; a nurse who gave a lot of her time to the children â€" those who went to school and those who hadn't started yet and. most of all, the wee new babies Just arrived in the homes througliout the Township. "The meeting was held In the Town Hall, and yo;i see. young Doc (you remember he's been .Aledical Health Officer since his father died), told us he could arrange without a cent of cost to any of us or the Township, to get a nurse to cotne and give us help for our- selves and our children, just like the farmers for years have been get- ting help in Improving their stock and producing better quality of grain, and every man and woman at the meeting wanted the nurse, so that's how she started." "And. Uncle, ahe was at the school to-day again, and I got a gold star." broke in his nephew, a young hopeful of nine years. "You got a star, and for what?" "Because for a whole week I had my chores done, my health chores, I mean; and you^hould...hear the norse tell us how easy it is to grow up strong and healthy '«m,d.;be able to pitch ball and slug a hockey stickâ€" Health Talks', sha calls them; and the girls at school have lessons too, "Little Mother's iOlasses," and learn how to look after a little baby.

"And she visits every home you know." 'added his sister, "and talks over the health of every member of the family so don't be sur- prised when she calls on you.

The most convincing argument in favor of the. purebred sire instead of the grade and scrub are the actual re- ports which have been obtained from the use of both types. The following are actual experiences of farmers on their own farms: A farmer in DufTerin County, On- tario, had a calf dropped March 18th, 1919, which he sold on December 12th of the same year at 23Vi cents per pound. This baby beef brought $169.21. This calf was out of a good grade cow whidh was herself sired by a purebred bull. The calf was also sired by an approved type of purebred sire. In the same stable on similar feeding and treatment at the same time w^as a calf also out of a fairly good grade cow but sired by a grade bull. This caJf was dropped Nov. oth, 1918, and was sold on the same day as the calf already referred to (Dec. 12, 1919). He brought 19 cents per pound or 4^ cents less per pound than Jhig stable mate by the purebred bull and he brought 1174.80. He was 4>4 months older, had taken more teed and care, but did not have as good quality and so was not as profitable as his better bred stable mate. These calves were exceptionally well fed. but breeding counted to the extent of 4% cents per PL'und and enabled the feeder to mar- ket his best calf at very close to as rii'ch money in 4Vs months find a box of Baby's Own Tablets on hand. Thousands of mothers have be- come convinced through the actual use of the Tablets that there is nothing to equal ibem in banishing constipation and Imlig^stion; breaking up coids and simple fevers ; expelling worafs and promoting that healthful refreshing sleep so necessary lo^ the welfare of little ones. Among the thousands of mothers who praise iJaby's Own Tab- lets is :!\Ir». .Mex. J. Perry, Atlantic, ! N.S., who says: â€" "I always keep i Baby's Own Tablets in the house as 1 j know of no other medicine that can : equal them for the minor ills that I come to young children." The Tablets i are sold by medicine dealers or by i mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Make Punishment Fit the Crime. Dr. Margaret Patterson, woman magistrate of Toi-onto women's court, seems to believe that the punishment should fit the crime. In addition, she Is a Judge with a keen sense of humor who can see a Joke coming a mile off. A short time ago a young Hamilton j girl appeared before her who was I charged with stealing a pair of won- j drously decorated and tremendously i high-heeled shoes from a department ! store. When the punishment came up, the magistrate looked at the shoes, looked at Uie girl, and smiled a smile which seemed to evidence complete comprehension of all the folJles and vanities of femininity. "I think she should be semtenced to walk back to Hamilton in those shoes," hhe remarked. I Chinese wood oil or tung oil is the most important basis of all waters I proof varnishef!.

This Is a case where the feed- inp waa right in both cases and where the purebred bull was directly respons- â-  ♦ ible for the difference. i Minard'a Liniment for Colda. The experience of a London Town- ship farmer, Middlesex County, with purebred and scnib bulls shows very closely the pfece of the scnib sire. Six years ago he had In his herd eight very even purebred cows that gave him eight bull calves from purebred sire. These were made steers and kept until two and one'-half years old. finished : on grass and' when sold averaged $140 ' each. The next year the farmer was ; ailing and was unable to take his cows a distance to a purebred sire. A: neighbor ottered him the use of his I scrub sire. The progeny from mating I from which five steers were kept, fed ; and marketed under the same condi- tions brought $114 each, although j there had been a slight rise in price I during the year. This farmer stated ' that on the live steers he lost $130, in • one year, and to the average farmer using a scrub sire on ten females the | loss would be $260, from a beef stand- j point alone. If the daughters of the | scrub bull were kopt in the herd this j loss would show in their caJves in less- 1 er degree.- This man claims that as j soon as farmers keep an accurate pro- fit and loss account the scrub bull will disappear. A Peel County farmer's experience Is as follows; â€" "Though we had been using purebred bulls for many years previous to a time about nine years ago, we yielded to temptation on a growthy looking, well-built grade Shorthorn for which we. paid 135 at •Ix'moDths old.
