UHUNTYANB DISTRICT Canada's Opportunity in Hog Raising. News ot the Waterloo County District Gleaned From Exchanges. " Aikens, firemen, was instantly Fatal Accident. The Countess of Warwick is about to make an interesting experiment,and one that is likely, if it meets with success, to have an appreciative effect upon agriculture in England. Lady Warwiek's idea is that it would be use- ful to form settlements of women in different parts of the country for the cultivation of the land, and thus en. able them to add to their incomes by the sale of fruit, flowers, vegetables, poultry, eggs. honey, eta, the produce of their gardens and poultry runs. Th e e is little doubt that a moderate means of livelihood can be obtained in this way but in the present state of keen competition success falls chiefly, 'it not ent rely, to the trained 'cap- acity’ and organized worker. Those women therefore, who propose to em- bark seriously in such an enterprise must first qualify themslves for the work. The hostel, which Lady War- wick hopes to open in October in con- nection with Reading College, will be an institution where such qualifies. tions may be obtained. It will be founded for the deGite purpose of enabling women over the age of 16 to obtain a thorough training (thereo- tical and practical), in the lighter branches of agriculture, vizr-Flower and fruit growing, and packing for market, especially bush fruit, toms- toes, mushrooms, ha, bee and poultry keeping, and dairy work, The council of Reading College have consented to provide the necessary course of instruc. tion, and to recognize the Countess of Warwiolr's hostel as a place of resi- dence for women atttdimtv--London Times; .

When the breath is ihortr--when you tire easily-r-when there is palpitation -.whea there is smothering sensation --snd dropeical tendency---all these in. dicate heart weakness, and are the danger signals if you procrastinate.

It will relieve most acute cases in thirty minutes, and pa- tience and the remedy will cure any case of heart trouble in existence. ordinary -cornmanitr, How often we hear the expression among farmers ', "My hogs sold for as much as neighbor Jones'," or, “My cows did as well as any other cows in this section.” No doubt there is a feeling of satisfaction in doing as well as one’s neighbors, but every farmer's ideal of what can be accomplished should not be gauged altogether by what his neighbors can do. He should have an ideal of his own, and one that will enable him to make the most out of his cows, his sheep, his hogs, or any other branch of his farming operations. Many farmers fail to attain to the highest pinnacle of success because they are guided too much by what their neighbors have done and are doing, We do not mean by this that a farmer should completely ignore what those around him are doing, as very often a neighbor may be working along lines that the farmer should follow, But do not be ssutisfied in getting returns for your labor equal to what your neighbor gets. There may be better things in store for you by striving to surpass your neighbor, A rivalry of this kind will stimulate you to greater things as you go along, and it is 8tlr-, prising what can be done when we; have a good ideal before us. No man l ever made a great success in any c,a1l,-') ing who always lived up to his ideal and was "tiii in doing or being the l same as those around him. The lcyith-l; er, then, in breeding stock, should; have some high type of animal before him to reach up to, and in growing‘ grain, in managing the dairy, or carry- ing on any other line of farm work, should have some standard ahead of him that will bring out his very best efforts to attain to. ' ttl > > ttttm, tt siisi1so ' 'ttf a x lg' . * XN * w ' It is not usually good practice to pi'e up deep bins of apples on the cellar floor, Smaller, shallow bins, not disturbed till their turn comes to be used, are much better, except they are commencing to rot, when the bad ones should be removed. This should seldom occur if care has been taken not to put in bruised or fruit of early ripening varieties, and the temperature is kept down below 45" or, it possible, at 33° Fahr. We have had best satis- faction by packing such as Spies, Russets, Greenings, and Baldwins in barrels late in October, and leaving them in an open shed as late as possible before consigning them to the cellar, The barrels are headed up, and not opened till needed in March or later. Another method of storing apples approved by some is to cover them deeply in dry ch ff, taking care that the chat? and apples are mixed through- out in layers, exercising care to fill all the interstices and cover up frostproof in a dry location. Well matured and nicely flavored fruits are worthy (f spec'al care in keeping throughout the winter months that they may be had for dessert pur- poses after their general season is past. With apples, perfect, normal s'za fruit should be selected and kept in as cool a place as possible without freezing. Large apples that are desired to be kept particularly nice should be kept from touching each other, wrapped in separate tissue papers, or placed on trays in a moist, well-ventilated cellar. For late market purposes pack tight- iy Mt barrels after the apples have shrunk, and store the barrels in a very cool place. Some solid apples, like Northern SPY. Spit- zenburg, or Newton Pippin, are not irjured by hard freezing, if they are allowed to remain frozen until wanted, and are thawed out very gradually, but we do not recommend this plan, Many sorts, particularly Russets and other firm varieties, keep well when pitted like potatoes. Sometimes, how. ever, they take up a. taste of the earth, but this may Le prevented by setling a ridgr-pole over the pile of apples in forked s i, Ls, and making a roof of 'trurrrl, m t,uctt a. manner that there wm be an air space over the fruit. Then cover tbe boards with a heavy covering of straw and a light) one of earth. Fluted apples, however, seldom keep well after opening out in spring, and should, therefore, not be opened till they are needed for use.

That night as Mr. Greenleaf was peacefully gliding off to sleep his wife gave a irtifled scream. "What ails you, Marthy , I'm all of a tremble, you know I ean't stand a noise like that." Mrs. Greenleaf sank back with a sigh of relief. "l don’t know," she said, "when I've felt so, but just as I was going to sleep I thought a train ran into me 5” and so it was all night with variations till three o'oloelr, when Silas arose, and going to the kitchen, threw himself on the lounge and slept; sound- ly till seven, when he was awakened by his wife who came in looking like a ghost, "Well, I declare," said Silas, as he sat up yawning and running his iitsgerss through his hair, "don’t know when I've slept so sound, suppose its being broke so of my rest last nights." Mrs. Greenleaf thought of her many sleepless nights when he would neither rest or let her rest, but said nothing as she set about getting the morning meal, moving with a slow tread, quite unlike her usual active tramp, When Silas returned from the barn, where be had gone with unwanted alacrity,break- fast was on the table and Mrs.Greenleaf already seated With wearied look on her peaceful face. "I believe, ma," said Mr. Greenleaf, "yoa're nervous." A few days ago she would have re- pudiated the idea, but now she only said, "I believe I am, Pm having a good many of those same feelings you described to me a while back.” After breakfast, instead of staying around the house and complaining as he had been in the habit of doing, Mr, Green. leaf proposed going to the woods and getting up a load of wood, but his wife said "No," she could not bear to stay alone, so he was forced to stay with her, and help clear up, between whiles to listen to divers complaints and ner- vous fancies. So it went on for more than a week, until one day, as she. was getting dinner, Mrs. Greenleaf said to her husband, as he had so many times said to her, "I ain’t the woman I was, Silas, and I wanted to tell you in case anything happens to me, what I-," but Mr. Greenleaf waited tor no more, but with an exclamation started for the shed door and from there to the woods like a haunted man. "How be, “I’ve a good mind to get nervous myself," said Mrs. Greenleaf as she looked around the kitchen, filled from side to side with tcols, pieces of boards, nail pails, and all those odds and ends dear to a farmer's heart (if not his wife’s) to be found in the out-shed, or ell chamber, on a farm, “Here’s Silas has spent the beat part of the day try- ing to fix the bootjaolr, and then said he was so nervous he must leave it for a spell, so I've got all these things to pick up and then get supper. He wou't be too nervous to eat supper, I'll bet," she added grimly. Silas Grecnlesf was a well-trio farmer living in a large house on a hill in Wilton. The farm sloped gently away toward the river, glimpses of which could be seen between the tall maples from the back windows, Mr. Greenleaf had been a hartrwotlring, successful man till a year or so ago, when he begun to shun work and say be shouldn’t live long, his health was broken down. "A purely nervous trouble," Dr.Hadly V said, when called in by Mrs.Greenleaf. Silas accepted this theory fully and it gained great power over him, till at this time his nerves were a sort of lightning-rod for any strange freak. At times the family crept about the house with hushed voices, it being one of the days every noise went through his head. Then there were days he couldn’t bear to go to the barn, the cows made him so nervous; another he felt something was going to happen, and so on, Mrs. Greenleaf and her daughter taking his place as best they might. Lately he had not been ssleep- ing nights and had poor Mrs. Greer - leaf up to bathe his bead or wash his feet " the case might be. He had been to all the doctors in his native town all to no purpose, 'for one practi- tioner he was sure gave the medicine too strong, and another gave the same thing to everybody, so the patent medicine fever was having full sway at present. He rarely fiuished a whole bottle of one kind, because it didn’t seem to help him. Their only daugh- ter, Bettie, of much his temperament, had grown so much like him during the past year that, mach as Mrs. Greenleaf needed her, she had been, sent a few miles away to her uncle’s for a short visit, Martha Greenleaf was one of those _ rarely beautiful charac'ers whose life lwas centered in her home and family. She belonged to no club and had probably never heard of the new woman. Meekly, and as her right, she had taken care of six stalwart boys, now all married and gone. Now, in this brief day, before the setting of life’s sun, this dark cloud had come to darken its rays. A look of resolve crossed her face as she stood there. and she muttered, "I'll try it, come what mar" That evening as they sat at supper she said, "I believe I'il try a little of that sarsaparilla you got, Silas, I feel kind of queer in one side." He looked at her in surprise, for she had always rather despised any sort of doctoring,‘ and called patent medicine trash ; but he passed it over from his side of the table, remarking, " hope you ain't going to be sick, Marthy, for I don't know what we should do, me so poorly as I be, and all." "Well, I feel awful queer, kind of shaky, believe I'll lay right down for a spell , oan't you make kind of a shift to pick up these tools, Silas," said Mrs, Greenleaf as she subsided onto the roomy old lounge that occu- pied ore side of the kitchen. With many groans and exclamations, Mr. Greenleaf restored the kitchen to something of its usual order, and then cleared the food from the table, leaving the dishes at his wiie's suggestion.

No trees should be planted close to or right against the house. They may not do any harm when quite young; but when they grow, as every tree un- doubtedly must, and reach large pro- portions, they become a. menace to the health of those who live in the house. No tree should be planted so near the house as to exclude the sunlight and the pure air from getting in and circu- lating through every room from cellar to garret. There are many farm homes injured by having trees planted too close to them, A judicious arrange- ment of the trees, however, will add greatly to the beauty and value of the home, Every farm should have a number of ornamental trees tastefully arranged. Nothing adds to the general appearance and, in fact, to the value of a farm more than a number of ornaments of this kind. There should not be too many or too few, but just enough to set off to advantage the house and farm buildings. As to the kind of trees to grow the farmer will have to depend largely upon his own judgment and good taste. To our mind no tree looks as well in and about a farm as a stood maple. In addition to being a thing of beauty, it makes a valuable windbreak if placed on the north or west side of the house or barns. The spruce and kindred trees make hand some ornaments for decorating the lawn or the green about the house. If properly placed and cared tor they often make very effective windbreaks. It seems toistart the diges- tive machinery working properly. You obtain a greater benefit from your food. The oil being predigested, and combined with the hy- pophosphites, makes a food tonic of wonderful flesh- forming power.

"I br- lieve Marthy is about half crazy, talk- ing so much about herself and her nerves, a thing she never done before since we wrre married, even when the boys were sick so much, and her mother died, “hen Jim was too small for her to go to the funeral; and then there was the time that note fell due, and she had t) take the money she bad been saving so long to bay a carpet for the front room to help pay it." What a good wife she had been ! Visions of her as a rosy young bride , as a fond young mother bending over their firzfr. born; as a pale, anxious woman, who walked the floor with Charlie in her arms,or paused beside the cradle where Bennie lay in his first good sleep, when all four children had the measles; as the much-needed mother saved from the jaws of death, when their long- wished-for daughter came late in life to complete their happiness. Here many little scenes of their past life came before him I Here many evi- dences of her deep, though silent and unselfish love! The unbidden tears rose slowly to Silas Greenleaf‘s eyes, as he thought, "What if ll -rtha has felt as I do now while I've been complain- ing all this time, for more I think of it, I have told her all my bad feelings lately, and I've had a good many Perhaps it's worn on her, but if she is spared to me, I'll try to make it easier for her." And nobly has he kept this promise made with no witness save the murmuring pines, and now, though Mrs. Greenleaf has almost forgotten how to be nervous, when everything goes wrong, as everything will some- times, she has been known to say, "I believe I'll get tservous."---Durothy Richardson in Good Housekeeping.
