Mr.. |. c. Libby of Burnham, who is
thoroughly familiar with the interests of
the farmers and largely identified with
them, In letter to the Belfast Journal
expresses the opinion in no uncertain
language that the removal of the wool
tariff will be very detrimental to the sheep
raiser of this country. There is" he
says mo fibre or quality of wool produced
on the globe that cannot be duplicated in
the United States, and If the protective
duty could be placed at 30 cents a pound
Instead of being removed, in less than
five years the United States would pro-
duce its own wool" with the certain re-
slut of greatly beneiiting the agricultural
population.

1t is not the easiest thing to live on Sc
renely and goodnaturedly through the
hot, sticky weather of dog-days, even
when there is human intelligence to
teach patience and endurance. But what
men end women suffer is surpassed by the
annoyance dumb beasts are expected to
bear TRANQUILITY and quietly. Though flies
cover the hide of an animal and annoy
him, he Is dubbed vicious II he kicks.
The same amount of milk is demanded
from cows. the same degree of speed
from horses as In cool, comfortable
weather under favorable conditions, but
1t Is ridiculous to expect this.

Where mother is o the world Of love
No matter how far our feet may rove.
When weary and in constant strife
Mother and home are the best of life.
Blessed is he who may smiling say,
I'm going home to mother today
Gods mercy hallews that home so dear
Where mother our footsteps waits TO hear
Bless the busy hand, and CHEEKY smile
That brighten and comfort all the WHILE
Nothing on earth can with home compare
When a loving mother waits us there.

There is no article OF food more generally

thirds of the elements that 90 to make up bone

pilates which are absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of health, and which nature has
provided in the wheat grain, but man has re-
moved from the -four in the process of boiling
1t was this fact that suggested the invention Of
Prof. Horsford of his preparation for baking
powder that would add these nutritious phos-
pilates, and thereby supply tie deficiency in the
