Winter who are not in rugged physical -heaith. Many men, women and children go through thc winter on reserve strength they have stored up during tho sunny, summer 3 months, and grow increasingly pnlc and languid as the spring days ap~ preach. A tonic for the ‘blood nnd nerves at this time will do much for such people, by putting color in the cheeks and banishing, that tired feeling that worries thou- sands of petiplti at this seastiti of the year. ' it is impossible to he energetic if your blood is thin and weak.or if your nerves are frayt-d or slititier- ed. You cannot compete with oth- ers if you do not get refreshitig sleep at night, or if your appetite in poor or you are losing weight. You need a tonic at this time to ndd iu your efficiency now. as well as to save you from stifftiring later on. Ami in all the realm of nieditrlnc, lhtvro is no safer or better tonic than Dr. Williams, Pink Pills. These pills tone and enrich the blood which circulates through ev- ery portion of the body, strength- ening jaded nerves and run down organs, and bringing a feeling of new strength and energy to weak, easily tired, despondeut men, wo- men and children. _ ‘Mrs. J. N. McNeil, Glace Bay. N. 8., says: "For years pust my home has never been without Dr. Williams Pin-k Pills, and i have. good reason to praise them high- ly.

Therefore it. will be seen that sufficient exercise and an abun- dance of fresh air is very desirable. Care of the Feet. During this period of the yllill‘ very often thc feet are neglected. in the l~‘.\il, the shoes are "pulled oil" and nothing more is donc to the feet until they are rc-shotl‘ in the Spring. This is very harmful.‘ llorses, nutl colts especially, should have the feet raspeti regularly, as it prevents the hoof from ‘splitting and cracking anti develops a broad. good foot. Often when ilicfeet are lneglecicti, manure. becomes clogged around the frog and if it is not rt.» l, moved regularly, it prepares an ex- lcelicnt bed for "thursh" to work ,upun. ln thc British army where ‘the zirtillery, cavalry and army sci‘- |vice corps horses had to he ready 'tn move ni any hour oi’ the dny or L night, thc feet were supposed‘ to be ,plcked out at each feeding ‘time, which was usually thrice per day.

A comparatively small outlay is nec- essary when starting in this mau- uer. ‘ it is remarkable how quickly n herd can be built up from a few foundation cows.

' mom POINTS THAT DETERMINE THE VALUE or THE SIRE in selecting a tried sire there are three sources of informatltm ill"! llPlll in determining his value. llll‘ greatest of these is the record of production that his tiaughters have made over that of tlicir flames. This will show his ability "ION? llllln any other one thing. The second phase to consider is his ancestry. A good sire should come irom in dam having high yearly records. It is tiesirtiblt- that all the close dams in the pedigree. should bn protlhcens. Then if his sisters ‘and llnlf sisters have made desirable red ords this would indicate u likeli- hood that he had received these same tieslrabio characteristics for milk production. The third point to be considered is individuality. This may vary somewhat but in general should follow quite close- ly the standards act for the par- itcuiar breed by its association. In selecting a young sire we have only the ancestry and individuality from which to select and of these two thc greater emphasis should be given to ancestry.

AS THE LIGHT MAN BAlD TO THE TAPER One night a man took a little taper out of n drawer and lighted lt and began to ascend a long wind- ing stair. "Where are you going?" said the taper. "Away high up." said the man; "higher than the top of the house where you sleep." "And what are you going to do titers?" "i am going to show the ships out at sen where the harbour is," said thc man. “For we stand ‘at the entrance to the harbour, and some ships for out on the stormy sen may he looking-out for light even 110W." "Alas! no ship could ever see my light." said the iittie taper," ‘it is so very small." "ifyour light is small." said the man. "keep it burning bright, and ' leave the rest to me." Well. and when the mun got up to the top of the iighthouse—for this was a lighthouse they were in-—hc took the little taper and with it lighted the great lamps which stood ready vwlth their polish- ed reflectors out over the waters, and the_ ship outside the harbour were guided safely in. This is a small story, just as the taper is a small light, but its moral too. has a big significance in life. 1 think you will guess. it's just tulle-don't despise little filings. for it's by the multiplication of small things that big things are made possible. iRespect the “migh- ty atoms."
