to sell out our Toronto works, but the

home when he noticed what looked
uncommonly like boats said flap
ping in the wind This impressed
Sam as being a bit ont of the ordi-
nary for midwinter, but what gave him
a distinct shock was seeing light in
a log cabin that to his knowledge had
been unoccupied for years.
There was enough of his ancestors
blood in his veins to make him wary,
and he conjectured, not without rea-
son, that whoever was in the old cabin
had no right to be there. So he stoop-
ed down, unfastened his skates, and
slung them around his neck, and, swift
as a deer, ran to the shore of the
cove. CautiosAly he crept over the
snow until he stood behind the cabin
and locked in through a window.
Seated at a little table were two
men, both keen-visaged, both well
dressed and both youthful. Overh cad
hung a dirty lantern. On the table
between them was spread out sheet
of white paper, which they were eX-
aiming with great interest

closer to the cabin window.
Sam waited to hear no more. The
men were thieves, and they intended
robbing the home of the only white
man who had ever befriended him.
Oh, lazy, shiftless Sam Augustus, why
do you hurry so?
For he was skating across the lake

Not pausing to seek the gate into

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
IF Hyomei:. Does Not Cure You Of Oatarh
SAYS Feldmeyer Bros.

In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that il has
done them no good in the treatment
Of catarrh, Feldmeyer Brothers mean
exactly what this guarantee says.
OF course, the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly one hundred, or
else they could not afford to
make this unusual offer. But II
the treatment should not be adapted
to your case there will be no ques-
tons or quibblings when you go to
get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is
due to the presence of germs in the
air passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hy-
omei treatment kills the catarrh
germs even in the minutest air cells,
soothes and heals the irritated mu-
cous membrane, and makes complete
and lasting cures in cases that have
resisted the usual methods of treat
ment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural meth
cd, and it has made cures that seem
miraculous. An outfit costs but $1.00
and consists of an inhaler which will
last lifetime and sufficient Hyomei
for more than a months treatment.
Additional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for soc.
Feldmeyer Brothers give their per.
sonal guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit they sell to refund the money
if il does not cure.

Dairy Schools.

The agricultural colleges of the
country are every year giving more
and more attention to their dairy
schools. We believe that as many
young men and women as possible,
that are interested in dairying, should
attend these schools. The entrance
is not, however, as easy as it was
Some of the dairy schools make the
rule that the students must have had
at least six months experience in a
creamery or cheese factory. This rule
has been made because in the past it
has been found that the students that
make the most progress and are the
best satisfied with the schools are
those that have had such experience.
We think, however, that this may be
carried too far. We wait good farm
buttermakers as well as good cream
cry buttermakers and good cheese.

Nevada Sheep-Herders.

The sheep are divided into bands
of from 1000 to 5000 in a band. each
band usually being cared for by two
men, one the herder, the other the
cook and camp-tender, says a report
OF the Nevada station. The former
has charge of the sheep while graz
ing, and usually sleeps wherever the
sheep camp down for the night, keen.
ing close watch on them and return
ing to the cooks camp only for his
meals. The latter, the camp.tender,
has charge of the cooking and the
moving OF the camp. which takes place
usually about every three days. Where
a large number of bands are owned
by one man, he usually hires one or
two foremen, who superntend the
work at the time of dipping and shear
ing, and who go ahead on horseback
during the summer, finding out the
condition of the ranges and directing
the sheep-herders as to where their
boundary lines lie and the routes they
wish them to take.
The class of men which were in de-
mand for herding the sheep were
known as Basques or "Bascos." They
come from the Pyrennees Mountains,
and are designated French or Spanish
Basques, according to the side of the
mountains in which they lived. They
naturally take to the life of solitude,
as they and their ancestors have been
employed in similar occupation in
the Pyrennees Mountains for many
years past. The wages paid them are
from $50 to $40 a month, with board.
Their savings are often spent in
trip to their homes in Europe, where
they live life of ease for one or two
years and then return to America to
herd sheep again. Italians, Americans
and other nationalities are sometimes
employed, but they are rarely as con-
tented and successful as the BASQUE.

CHICAGO Butter SuppIy,

The receipts of butter at Chicago
this summer have been greater than
during any previous summer for sew
eral years at least. From the first of
May to the middle of August there
were received over 652 900 tubs, which
is about $4,000 tubs in excess of what
was received during the same period
last year. During the summer of 1898
$4,000 tubs were received, which
was considered phenomenal at that
time. In spite of this large supply
this year the prices have held up, due
largely to the rapid growth in popu-
lation of the city and the continued
activity in business. 1t is reported
that the home trade is larger than
ever before and seems inclined to take
all the firstclass goods that come in.
Studying the market one notices that
the only kinds of butter that do not
sell well are the poorer grades, though
they are disposed of at low price.
Thus ladies' are quoted as SLOW" in
sale. Ladies'" are produced by work
ing over country butter till it is uni.
form in salt and coloring. It is poor
in quality because it is some days old
before subjected to the re-working
process. Ladle goods are neither
profit nor credit to the farmers.

THE AGE OF DRAGONS.
Their Existence Believed in by Many
Scientists,

Dragons were important animals in
ancient and medieval natural history.
Until comparatively recent time no
scientist, ever thought of questioning
the existence of this most formidable
of beasts. The annals of Winchester
for 1177 gravely state that "n this
year dragons were seen OF many in
England" Gesner, professor of natur-
al history at Zurich. gives a detailed
description of the dragon, while Al
drovandus, in his History OF Serpents
and Dragons" published In 1910. de-
votes fifty pages to the monster. \
good specimen of a dragon would seem
to have been beast about the size
of sheep. ihcased in coat of scales
which shOne like silver. Its back was
serrated like saw. 1t possessed
long tail, a pair of batlike wings four
heavily clawed feet, wolvine head,
the jaws of which were armed with
very formidable teeth. The tongue
was barbed and fire and fury issued
from the monsters mouth and the
head bore crest. Dragons were the
most wicked and vindictive of crna-
lures. They seem always to have
been in towering rage and spent
the greater portion of their time in
rushing up and down the earth de-
stroying everything that came in their
path. The origin of dragons was a
disputed point among mediaevel natur-
alists. Some maintained that these
animals were generated by the heat OF
India; others were of opinion that the
volcanoes Of Ethiopia used to bclch
forth the monsters. One scientist,
John Leo by name. declared the drag
on to be hybrid, cross between an
| eagle and a wolf.
