NIGHT TIME TO BArHE

To many people d bath fiji old oceaii seems to give ho beheht-ihdeed eveii fiji August, which Is the height of tic bathing seasoh they come out froiii tile water lAhguid and tired, perhaps chilly, ahd feel uncomfortable for the rest of the day.
 Now, a stimulating salt water bath should not have stieii at effect tiiiess there Is soiiie good eatise f6t 1t of eotirse, a wotiiaii who has aiiy organic trouble, such as heart disease, should iiever attempt tile btiffetltgs of tie breakers without il .physitlaii's tth- seiit, btit otherwise there should be tio i'll effects pibvided-ah. provided she knows just how to bathel Simple as tile sea bath appetits, there Ire tef- taii, restrictions ahd precautions to De taken by every Ute -pretattibiis 0Y which traiit people are indifferent Of ignorant. iii the first place, 1t is fairly criminal to etiter the. oteah when oveflieated or ovetfatigted. of immediately hfttf q heavy meal The. best time to tathe is ftUin ati hotir atid d half to twb totits after eating, whth the stih Is bright hhd the sea fairly whriii A gray, chilly day is flo weather for sea bath ting. .......... ....
 salt water Is stimulating to tht skih. and gives a healthy glow tb tle whole body, when enjoyed properly. When first entering the water the entire body should be iittiersed ht once to avoid taking cold, and little of the salt water should be dashed over the face with the hands, to prevent pttltlg .of frecklihe. After leaving tie bath, which should never last over half di hour. and gtherally not iiipte than twenty minutes. the body should De tis,bed bfiskiy with | Turkish towel, to improve the tircuintion Tie face should not be washed for at least ah hour after Il sea bath. ahd theii only With right hot water Cold water after exposure to the siiii's rays .ahd salt water Is sure to produce blsterllig siihburii, which will do away With all the good effects of the salt bath

rnr MOTIVATION ro cANApA.


The stampede Of farmers from the
States to western Canada still contin-
ues, the number settling there this sea-
son being estimated at not less than
10000. The conditions there are very
attractive. The land is cheap - from
so to SIS per acre--it Is easily brought
under cultivation and Is especially
adapted to the growth of wheat, oats,
barley, hax, potatoes and vegetables.
The quality of the wheat produced Is
OF the best and always commands the
highest market PRICE, and then 1t is o.
safe and very productive crop, an aver
age of twenty bushels per acre for q
period Of twenty years being claimed.
There are some drawbacks TO farm life
In that faraway country. The Amerl.
can has to live under a monarchial
form of government instead OF q re-
public, farm work IL crowded Into
short period Of each year, farms are
large, and the people live an isolated
life; then the wheat business IL sure to
come to an end there, just as II has
done In all new countries in the United
States, and for want Of the ability TO
raise corn the carrying on of diver.
slGed agriculture will be far more diff.
1cult than In the States. However
men can make q lot Of money there
now just growing wheat, and 1t Is this
fact that Is the magnet which Is at
tracing the farmers Of the corn belt.

of the first order. Continued grain rails.

the utter failure to grow clover on so

pletion of all soil fertility.

1t Is worth repeating again that the
more blue grass pasture Is tousled
around with disk and drag in the
early spring the better the pasture will
be. Many such pastures well disked
and dragged in the spring can be made
worth twice as much as q pasture by
such treatment. 1t is good idea to
scatter little medium clover seed
over It just before the last time over
with the drag.

ooop AND room poTAToEs.

We are asked what tho conditions
should be In order to produce a fine
potato--n well favored, mealy tuber.
The variety Of potato has much to do
with this proposition, the nature OF
the soil In which II IL grown still more,
while the weather conditions material.
ly change the quality. 1t may be said
that all kinds of potatoes which nat
urally grow TO a large size are Of
coarse texture and low grade, quite apt
to be hollow at the core and watery;
then all early maturing varieties are
as a rule poor keepers and soon lose
their meallness and high quality. Pota
toes OF any kind only scantlly covered
with earth and more or less exposed to
the intense heat Of the summer sun
and more or less light are always OF
low grade. A very wet season lowers
the grade II 1t does not inJure the crop
by rot. 1t may be said that sandy
soils are always better for the potato
than muck or clay soils, the finest po-
tatoes In the country being produced
on the thin pine wood soils Of upper
Michigan and Wisconsin. The potato
demands a good supply Of humus IN
the soil; thus we find newly cleared
timber land or clover sod the best
location for this crop. 1t also thriyes
greatly under the irrigation systems Of
the far west.

A raw story Is going the rounds Of
the press to the effect that q western
poultryman is feeding large number
OF ducks and geese on buttermilk at a
creamery, with the result that the birds
are doing finely and that the butter
milk ration converts their naturally
dark colored flesh into meat as white
as that Of chicken. IL this were true
1t would be valuable suggestion for
our colored brethren who would like to
tighten up their complications. Some
men are great liars.
