But it is to those wao remain behind; who are physical ly fit and free from pressing ties, that reminderg of the empire's grave peri must be addressed. A call for a furth er 60,000 men must come soon and in the ranks of these wiciting men must be found the new material. To Canadians as a people the war has not come home in its true char acter of a great red scourge, cutting and ruining and vupheaving all thai life can give. We are too far away, too remote from the roar of guns and the shrieks of sufferers to fully under- stand, Heavy and grevious though ine iosses in the Canadian ccntingents veen, how light are they in com: | parison with what other British peo- | ple are enduring! The Australians | have put as many men on the fighting | front as Canada, some eighty thousand, and their casualties reach the enormous total now of 29,000, or iree times as Many as Cani.da’s, Aus- tralia, with five millions population, has raised 150,000 troops, or within a few thousand of what Canada has raised. It is true that we have an effective contributing population of | about six millions only, but any Can- adian knows how small a part of our national strength and resources have | gone into the great cause. Without a/| doubt the greatest strain of the war) will come upon the empire in the /next year. If the Balkan situation can be controlled by the allies, the forces now gathering and to be gath- ered will turn the scale decidedly, }and once fairly on their victorious way, the clinching of triumph will be easier with each gtep. But after con- tributing nearly four million men to the army, Britain is calling for 35,000 more men weekly to keep it at strength. Conscription is perhaps to | become a reality. When the Mother land has done so much, in men, money and material, can Canada be content to rest on its laurels? These are facts that are going home jto the pride and the consciences of ithe Canadian people. They demand a gathering of the national strength and display of national vigor to go forward to new achievements. The facilities are even now at hand for the men of the their sacrifice for the cause.

Of late there have been large shipments of butter sent from Mani- toba to the Montreal market, where it hag been purchased by English buy- ers. Owing to the war, Bngland has not been able to draw her supplies of but- ter from the sources she did prior to August, 1914, and consequentiy she has looked to Canada. The dairymen of Winnipeg, having supplied the Vancouver market, which is more or less a limited one, noted with pleasure the large export demand for butter as the Zeppelin crews themselves have not the remotest idea where they are. And after all, if the public was told, it would not prevent the drop- ping of bombs and would only have the effect, judging from previous ex- periences, of bringing people out into the streets.” Unless worms be expelled from the system, no caild can be healthv. Mother Graves’ Worm Exterminator is the best medicine extant to destroy worms. When Buttermilk Is Fed Buttermilk is generally credited with having the same feeding value as skimmilk unless considerable water has been added. One rule for finding the value of 100 lbs, of skim- milk or buttermilk when fed with corn or barley is to multiply the market price of hogs per pound by 6. Then if hogs are bringing seven mts per und, the value of the ttermilk about 42 cents per 100 3s. Another rule proposed many years ago is that 100 lbs. of skim- milk or buttermilk, when fed with ™m or barley, e market price of corn per bushel. is worth one-half r : : ¥ r fellows! A aaa a aac Pein pe ed ee there was in Montreal, and large quantities of butter have left the city during the past season. Winnipeg dairy firms have also been approached by brokers in Van- couver and San Francisco with a view to filling contracts to send butter to Australia, where, owing to a drought, the home supply has been altogether inadequate. No orders, however, have yet been filled for the antipodes.—Free Press. Minard’s Liniment Cures Diphtheria. Keep Best Birds Many farmers, and some who are not farmers, make a practice of sell- ing their best poultry because they bring good prices. A greater mis- take cannot be made. How can you expect to breed good birds next sea- son and keep your stock up in qual- ity if you sell the best ones this year. There is only one way that it can be done and that is to buy stock or eggs in the spring, and it will not pay to do this year after year when your own stock would answer just as well, and probably better. In rare instances you might produce a valu- able exhibition bird, worth say $15 or $20, and such a bird would per- haps be worth more to some one else than to you, and ip another way a much cheaper bird would answer your purpose as well as the higher priced one. In this case it is all right to sell. en happens that a good show bird is a very poor breeder. By keeping the best stock to breed from right along a large per cent. of the whole flock may be made of equal excellence. What would you think of a farmer who has some ex- collent and valuable varieties of po- tatoes, other sorts that are in- ferior, and to add a little more to his farm income he sells all the best var- jeties at an advance of ten cents per bpchet and plants the poorest He (describing, his war exper- iences)—Just.then the enemy got our .

All Druggiets Have It REFUSE SUBSTITUTES — Good-Bye Summer Joys and Sorrows the Seasons Bring as They Come and Go Yesterday, over the western hills, the summer sun went down. The sea- son which three months ago we hail- ed as the “good oid time,” has crystal- lized into a memory, a memory that giorifies with the compelling touch of ends attained and hopes achieved, or shrivels and blisters under the scourge of failure, It came out of the eastern dawn— this dead-and-gone summer—with roses and birdsong, laugnter and love, and it slipped over the western horizon empty-handed, for, one by one, it had dropped its treasures as it jour- neyed. And some of us caught the roses, and some the thorns, and some learned the bird-song and some hold the empty nest. Some of us gaw it go without regret—nay, even with relief; and some of us held yearningly and tenaciously to its last golden hours; some of us will cover its exit with the lilies of gladness, and some will hide its footprints under the rue of broken hearts. All that is left of it now is the pal- ing glow of the aftermath, the refiect- ed radiance of what was 80 recently a splendor of sunshine and rainbow- tinted blossoms. Impartially it gave of its warmth, its color, its perfume, its purple vintage; but with an all too uneven balance did it weigh its favors of joy and hope and happiness. But what is done, is done, and wheth- er we have bound up full sheaves of its golden grain or been only gleam- the fields, we look back today and say, with that touch of sad- of any slackening of interest In re-'nesg that always comes with finality: cruiting, it ought to be developing.

This can be done to best advantage by eurface cultivation with a duck- foot cultivator. “If bad weeds are to be controlled the farmer must be persistent in sea- The circular contains instructions on the best method of suppression and destruction of noxious weeds that can be applied in the fall. There are some clever scouts among the Australians, and the smartest of all is probably Sergeant Frean, of the ist Infantry Brigade. He has crawled out from the trenches night after night to make an inspection of the Turkish position, and on one occasion, unde. cover of darkness, he made his way right into the enemy lines, Being brown- skinned, and speaking the Turkish language, he escaped detecticn, and made his way safely back to his comrades with most valuable infor- mation. Frean saw service in Mex- ico and the Balkan States, and is a man of wonderful daring. He wears a sombre-like felt hat, with the crown bulged up, and a knottea handkerchief about his neck, in true scout fashion, but he has very little to say.

All those found physically fit and Wisoing to join the colors at once could do so, and the remainder con- ¢inue at their usual vocations, sub- ject to call when needed.” Unmarried and married men, Lord Derby explained, would be put into respective groups, and the bachelors called first. Married men would be called later, according to age. By euch a system, he pointed out, there would be no sudcen, unmanagable number of recruits, but a steady sup- wly as needed by Karl Kitchener. Someone had asked the speaker, he eaid, why recruiting was an urgent y, to whieh he replied: “Look at the map.” Lord Derby said that a fortnight wouid be allowed men who were called ed to adjust their private affairs.

I foelieve yet that the voluntary system can be made an unqualified success, but there is no time to lose.” In all infantile complaints that are the result of the depredations of worms in the stomach and intestines Miller's Worm Powders will be found an effective remedy, They attack the cause of these troubles, and by ex- melling the worms from the organs in- sure an orderly working of the sys- ‘tem, without which the child cannot maintain its strength or thrive.
