THE sad fact that suicide and educa-

generally admitted. Civilization does
not free humanity from grief, disgrace

civilization is highest the struggle for

time in Roman history when suicide
was almost epidemic. 1t was when
the great republic had reached its

that the proportion of suicides due to

CHAPTER NXVI!

After the business of transferring
the mine to its new owner was COM
pleted, John Kenyon went to the tel
cgraph office and sent a short cable
message to Wentworth. Then he
turned his steps to the hotel, an utter .
ly exhausted man. The excitement AMI
tension of the day had been too much
Tor him, and he felt that, if he did not
get out of the city of Ottawa and into
the country, where there were fewer
people and more air, he was going to
3e i'll. He resolved to leave for the
nliEe as soon as possible. There he
would get things in as good order as
possible and keep things going until
he heard from the owner. When he
got to his hotel he wrote to Went
worth, telling the circumstances under
which he secured the mine, rather
briefly, and dealing with other more
personal matters. Having posted this,
lie began to pack his portmanteau pre-
raratory to leaving early next morn

came to his room and said: "There is

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Carrots are delicac.es to horses and
cattle. When animals are sick and re-
fuse food they may sometimes be
tempted to eat carrots, which shows
that they stand at the head of all root
crops as food for the stock.
The freezing point of potatoes is 3o.2
degrees, and they must not be kept in
the light, Keep them at temperature
between 81 and 40 degrees 1.-THE lower
the temperature the better), so as to
prevent sprouting
When large numbers of stock are fed
together the stronger will continually
crowd away the weaker ones, who fail
to procure enough food to be in good
thrifty condition. Such an unequal di.
vision causes an increase in the cost. II
IS better to divide up into reasonably
small lots, according to size, age and
condition.
A veteran broncho breaker gives the
following as sure way to cure horse
CT kicking: "sTie one of his forelcgs
with rope to his hind leg on the other
side. AS soon as he starts to kick he
jerks his front leg of the ground and
he goes down in heap. Two or three
doses of that kind will cure the worst
case you can find"
The larger the animal the more ii
costs to maintain 1t, as O rule, hence IL
win cost much moro in proportion to
weight to produce hog weighing zoe
pounds than one weighing 100 pounds
Consequently there is larger profit per
round from the small hog than from
the large one. and the farmer can keep
more small hogs than he can of large
