States was reached in 1886 when II
was S,160,973 kegs. while the maxi.
mum of wire nails was reached in
1904, viz, IL, 926.661 kegs. The diff
ference in productions between wire
and cut is now very considerable Ir

Care of Mares.

Pregnant brood mares should re-
ceive special care from now until
they drop their foals. They should
take exercise in the open air every
day. 1t is not sufficient to turn them
loose in a large yard or paddock and
leave them there They should be
kept moving. Some mares when
heavy with foal are so sluggish that
will not even walk around the yard
unless some one is present to compel
them to take exercise. This duty
should not be entrusted to reckless
boys. Tie exercise should not be
violent. Cultivator.

Gathering Olives.


The olives now change from green
to dark purple which CLEANS in the
sun, and the women are set to work
to pick up the berries, which the
November gales have shaken down.
(The olives which give the oil are
not the same as the green ones that
one eats;i these are gathered in the
early fall and picked with lye.) The
olive-picking is long and toilsome,
particularly the part assigned to the
women, who have to collect all the
fallen berries-and very cold work it
is for them when winter is on. Their
little earthenware pots full of hot
ashes barely thaw their numbed fin
gers, and their poor knees ache for
days after.
Then men climb the trees with
basket strapped in, front of them, and,
drawing the laden branches towards
them, strip them of the fruit with an
action as Of milking a COW.
The olives picked from the trees
are kept separate from those that are
picked up on the ground, for the lat
ter. being generally covered with
earth, yield an oil inferior in taste.

We may only remark that In respect of

ment on its contents Is unnecessary; it Is
the method, the manner. the aura that
are most disturbing. Can any person
skilled in the psychologist indications read

that it's legitimate place is rather in the
inwards of a carefully framed hypothetical
