ORIGIN
or a Famous Human Food

The story of great discoveries or
Inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hsmpered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry cut the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct. was led to
study various foods and their effects
apon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that food which was
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with
the average man does not accomplish
the desired results. He knew that
the soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centres is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in marked stur-
diness and activity Of the brain and
nervous system, making 1t pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is In no sense a
stimulant. but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
Of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming. and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory It is served instantly with
cream.
The signature OF the brain worker
spoken of. c. w. Post. Is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts

Don't look upon the bull as an en-
envy and carry a club or pitchforh
every time you go near him, writes
W. NJ. Kelly in Farm and Home His
disposition toward you will be just
what you make it yourself Treat
him kindly, but with firmness. He
is sure to remember any kindness.
and surer to remember any meanHess
that you mey do to him, and will
watch his chance to get even with
you.
Allow him but one service and then
lead him to his stall, and he Will soon
learn what is wanted of him, and will
readily take up with the program.
Well managed and properly fed. he
will live to be eight or ten years old

and disgrace will be an object of ad.
miration and a credit to your herd

The Driver & HnIf Of the Team.

We all know that anxiety and wor-
ry tire more than work, and the horse
that is not worried will do much
more work and travel further, with
less effort than the horse that is In
constant fear Of his driver. 1t takes
nerve to pull load or to travel eight
miles an hour, and If these nerves are
being constantly agitated and the
horse is in continual fear OF the
whip, and frequently gets trim
ming that leaves him in constant
dread he cannot do his best and soon
becomes exhausted The team ham
died by the thoughtful driver is at
ease; their entire attention rs given
TO the work they are doing. This is
indicated by the manner in which
their ears are tipped ahead, showing
that they are not afraid. They seem
to enjoy their work. while with the
brutal or thoughtless driver the
horses ears are laid back. and they
pay no attention to where they are
stepping. The nervous strain that
comes from their constant anxiety
caused by sharp cuts of the whip and
jerks at the bit tires them more than
the work. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that the driver is half of the
team.-Praetical Farmer.

Stings and bites of insects are ex-
tremely dangerous at all times, and
especially when the system is not in
condition to resist the poison in
jected. In many insects the nature
of the poison has not been ascertain
ed; while in most of them it is of
an acil, irritant nature; in others
It may contain a powerful cardiac
sedative and depressant, and in still
other org&nisms in pure or mixed
cultures may be introduced with the
sting or bite. Apart from the natur-
al poison used by insects, It should
not be forgotten that flies and other
insects that live on carrion may
easily carry contagion and inoculate
the persons whom they bite or sting.
In the case of ordinary bites and
stings the chemical antidote is a
strong alkaline solution, such as a
strong solution of bicarbonate of
soda or potash, which eounteraets
the acid of the sting. Suction at the
wound in all these varieties of stings
and bites will draw out some of the
poison. and until some antitoxin
treatment can be found which will
prove an antidote to the bacterial
poison introduced little can be done
beyond a stimulating and supporting
treatment with attention to symp-
toms.-From Health.

The Anconas were first brought to
public notice in the United States in
1886 by the late Francis A. Mortimer.
They were often termed a notified
Minorca. With many that idea still
prevails, but they are not, nor have
they any approach to the Minorea in
size, nor color of shanks, skin, etc.
The Ancona belongs to the Leg
horn family, and would have been
rightly named 1.-The Notified Leg
born"
The only resemblance the Aneona
can produce that would approach the
Minorca is the size of their eggs and
immense production of the same. The
Ancona is in reality below the me-
dunn size of the average Leghorn.
They do. however. prove their ability
to lay large sized eggs in, proportion
to the size Of their "avoirdupois, than
any variety of Leghorn. or even the
Minorca itself. Anconas average
three and one-half to five pounds
each.
They are in color of skin and in
shape the same as the Leghorn, the
description of which the reader is re-
ferred to. In color the beak should
be yellow, the upper mandible being
striped with more or less black. The
eyes are red. Comb and wattles red.
Ear lobes white, free as possible from
a creamy appearance. The shanks
and feet are generally notified with
brownish to black colored splits, in
termixed with yellow. Clean yellow
shanks and feet are preferable.
The plumage is similar to that Of
the Houdan, being broken with black
and white or black feathers mottled
with white, or vice versa.
Feathers may also each be solid
white or black, in some sections. A
general effect of such coloring may be
realized by careful examination of
the Illustration. No. 80, given here
with.
In size the Ancona averages one
half pound lighter than the average
weights given for Leghorns.
The Ancona youngster is an inter-
esting little fellow. with breasts and
body coloring intermixed with shades
OF white and canary. while the top
