full Case.

Man does lot OF foolish things, and
when you come to look them all over, the
continued use of tobacco is, without doubt,
the most unaccountable of them all.
Tobacco kills more people than all the
contagious diseases together.
We don't know it, or don't want to adj
NIT it, but it's so. Not one man in ten
would get sick so easily and die from
catarrh, consumption, pneumonia, heart
disease, etc, if his otherwise strong con-
stitution were not undermined by tobacco
poison.
It's so easy to get started and so impos-
sible to stop tobacco use, unless No-To-
BAG comes TO the rescue. Millions are
now seeking relief, and they are coming

a. T. Budd Esq, Druggist, ArnprIor,
Ont.-Dear Sir: 1 have used No-To-Bac
and found it a complete cure. l had
smoked and chewed for 20 years. l had
used 10-cent plug of chewing tobacco
every day, as well as three plugs OF smok-
ing a week. My doctor told me that to-
bacco was killing me, and I tried to quit
OF my own accord, but could not exist
without IL. After using three boxes of No
To-Bac am completely cured. My nerves
were complete wreck, but now my nerves
never trouble me. For many years
could not eat any breakfast, my stomach
was in such bad condition. Now l can
eat as well as any one, and have gained
considerable in weight, and am better
physically and mentally than ever before,
and can highly recommend No-To-Bac
as a complete cure.

Milk OF any kind is a good poultry
food.
Warm quarters are essential In win
ter dairying.
The less milk cools after settling the
quickly 1t sours.
Good cream rising means keeping the
milk sweet as long as possible.
We want mich cows neither fat nor
lean, but half way between
Ii will not pay TO winter a cow that
does lot make a good milk showing on
grass.
There is TOT one row in fifty but
what might DO better In milk yield IL
she had more 10 eat and drink.
A really good dairy cow. as long as
h is giving Il good flow of milk. no
matter bow well fed. will not get fat.
From this time on cows should be
well sheltered at night and en- stormy
days.
Remember that with COWS, as with
other stock, q good animal ms.y be
readily spoiled by bad management.
The farmer who wants to have good
cow must raise the calves from their
best cows bred to thoroughbred bulls
Of good dairy breeds.
Under ordinary conditions cows wiz
change from day to day in the amount
Of solids in their milk and especially in
the amount of butter fats.
What makes a specific dairy COW the
most profitable Is the fact that she
turns her energies in the right direc-
ton. 4
At this time especially IL is much
easier to let cows shrink in their milk
than to persuade them to swell the
milk flow.
While wheat bran Is considered ex.
cellent to make cow give a large mess
OF milk. butter makers claim that IL
does not furnish just the right ma
terial alone.
As food Is Indispensable for the pro-
duction of rick milk, 1t only remains to
adjust the rations TO the ability of the
COW 10 digest it and to rau 1t into
profit.
There are about 100000 cows in
this country. or one to every four in.

One hundred pounds of good milk

9 pounds OF milk sugar, 3.3 pounds Of

BEST RANGE II
Beef Cattle or the States Are Retro

Beef Cattle OF the states Are Retro.
grading,
A few years ago the beef cattle sent
TO market from the states east OF the
Missouri river were very much Detter
than the class sent from the range dis
tricts. This condition is rapidly chang
ing. The beef cattle OF the states are
not being improved. They are rather
retrograding. On the other hand u
| range cattle are bein improved so that
in the lea future. if the present trend
of events continues, The range cattle
will pass the states cattle. and VIII be
| ahead in excellence. The states still
hold the front rank for herds OF pure
bred beet cattle. There are herds In
Missouri. for instance, that annOt be
excelled, yet those cattle are bred there
and the best of the product comes TO
the range districts.
When the Western ranchman goes
East to buy breeders with which to i'm
prove his herd he always chooses the
best. He does not bubble as TO the
price. He declares that the best are
none too good. and that class he must
and will have. On the other hand, the
farmer in the Central states, relying
upon the grades OF his cows, demands
"A cheaper bull, often taking a grade
with uncertain breeding rather than Sc
lecting a pure bred at the higher
price. This method has been in vogue
for ten or twelve years. and il is start
ling what Il wonderful effect it has
had. To verify this statement ask the
breeders of pure bred cattle. They
will uniformly say that the bulls are
sold to the ranchman, @ 30 % per cent
of them, and all the best ones, except
an occasional animal sold to Il fellow
breeder who likewise is pr0pogating
cattle for the ranges.
These statements are not overdrawn.
In fact, they are not all the factors
that enter in to depreciate the beef cat
tie. as a class, in the states. AS a rule
their cattle are crossed and mixed till
they partake largely of the mongrel,
which is but a step removed from the
scrub. They have a s~prinkling Of the
Shorthorn, Hereford. Aberdeen-Angus
or Galloway, and perhaps some Jersey
or Holstein. Now, while each OF these
breeds il excellent in its class, an in
discriminate mixture destroys the type
of all the tension OF high breeding is
removed and the road to ~scrubd0m is
certainly along that way. Cross bred
animals are oftentimes good indiridu-
ally, but TO propagate from them is in
violation of the most vital and valu-
able principles Of stock breeding. With
all the best types of pure bred Eastern
stock coming out West to replenish u
great range herds 1t does not require
much argument TO show that our cat
tie are bound to be greatly benefited as
the years go by and that the best and
purest stock on the American continent
will in a few years be found on u

bacteria To Blame.

We find in our exchanges a bit Of *
perienee from IL creamery man that
may be III interest 10 our creamery
men. IL they want 10 take heed thereof.
This correspondent says: "A pail of
buttermilk was upset in front of our
dairy room. The weather was warm.
with frequent rains. and we noticed
that from the time that the buttermilk
wac split we were beginning TO have
trouble with our butter. The trouble
continued until we had given the place
where the milk was split and the dairy
room Il thorough cleaning and steam
bath" This correspondent claims that
the bacteria bred by the splitting of the
buttcrmilk had gotten into the dairy
room and affected the milk and cream
until the result was a bad quality OF
butter. SO the careless handling of
skim-milk and buttermilk on the out
side OF the creamery may be rs in
furious to the quality of the butter or
ream as ii it is Oh the inside. says the
Elgin Dairy Report. With millions of
bacteria bred by split milk OH the out
side of a creamery they cannot be kept
out entirely by any possible means.
A jet Of steam will be as effectual Oh
the outside as on the inside.

Raising Hogs.

learned that If he has "A good stock OF
coed pigs ready for sale when the peo.
pie begin 10 awaken TO the merits OF
swine. he reaps his reward.
Poultry net makes Il perfect hog-lot

set so that the hogs may have rubbing
places. For Il small yard net is NOT
suitable, as the hogs are restless i'm
close confinement. They ought 10 have
u good range always.
Can pork be raised at a profit when
prices are but AZ and , rents per
pound? Not by any l~iaphazard pro-
cess. But the careful breeder and sys-
tematic feeder can do it: he is doing 1t,
and instead of being discouraged these
times of low prices is improving his
stock, making new quarters and get.
ting ready for the boom which is sure
TO recur every few years.
1t Is fall and pigs are not so expen-
siye as in the spring; prices are lower
than for some years also. Everything
points to the fact that even a poor man
may stock up with choice thorough.
breds. Started now he ought to be
nicely fixed in three years. A good
way to start is To buy two or three
good, blooded shoates or young sows,
and have them stinted To a sire OF es-
tablished pedigree. and then raise
them, repeating the process. Farm
