do not continue to suffer without
giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

many cases of female ills, such as in

fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic

A NEW TOWN EVERY WEEK.
And New School Every school
Day.

And a New School Every School
Day.
The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since
by a railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not
district OF a fair amount Of settlement
in any Of the three Provinces of Mani
toba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, but
has its school, and the railways have
stations every seven or eight miles
apart, around which group the towns,
some large and some small, but each
important to its own district. Schools
are largely maintained by public
funds and the expense OF tuition is
but a nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro
duction for Central Canada for 1909
are now In, and the figures show that
the value OF the crops to the farmers
of that country is about S195,O0O,0 900,
as compared with S120,000,0OO last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those VINO
have gone from nearly every state in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
&c i'm
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that $4,000 people of these
Western Provinces spent the holiday
season visiting their old homes Most
of these passengers paid forty and
some forty-fve dollars for the round
trip. Some went to Great Britain,
some to the Continent, others to their
old homes in Eastern Canada, and
many thousands went to visit their
friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upwards Of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every year. 1t need not
be asked, Can they afford it?" With
crops yielding them a profit of $40 to
$25 per acre, and some having as
much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian government agents at differ
ent points in the States, report that
they have interviewed great many OF
those who are now visiting friends in
the different States, and they all eX-
press themselves as well satisfied, and
promise to take some Of their friends
back with them. There is still lot
of free homestead land in splendid
districts, and other lands can be pur-
chased at a reasonable price from rail
way and land companies.

Hints About the House.

Cranberries cooked with grapes make
a good dessert or pie.
Sprinkle granulated sugar on top OF
jellies to prevent mold.
Boil vinegar in the fish skillet OIL
pan to destroy the fish odor.
To remove the odor of fish from
steel knives wash them in hot vine
gar, then suds.
Whipped cream tinted with any veg
etable matter is tempting on a cup OF
not chocolate.
If lamp wick does not move easily
in the holder draw out one or two
threads from one side.
In making fruit pies, when they
boil over sprinkle some salt in the
oven and 1t will not smell.
A wire brush is excellent for clean
ing milk bottles and little soda
in the water sweetens them.
Dry salt and a brush will take dust
off from velvet, plush and heavy en-
DrOlQ0Ty lUdt SdHHoI NC ndSHcu.
Even a dishcloth may prove expen-
siye; if dirty 1t may cause typhoid;
if linty it may clog the plumbing.
In making cheese balls to serve with
a lettuce course work brown nuts into
the cheese and note the delicious favor
that this imparts.
If your rags curl up at the edges,
they can be made to lie fiat by damp
ening the curled edges and pressing
with a hot iron.
To keep celery fresh long time
wet towel in cold water, wrap
around stalks, then roll in thick paper,
put in a cool place.
Covering the pan when fish is fry
ing IS apt to make the flesh soft. A
solid firm meat, that is at the same
time faky, is what the good cook
likes.
A clean cloth dipped in hot water,
then a saucer Of bran, will speedily
clean white paint without injury to It.
The soft bran acts like soap on the
dirt
Nearly all metal teapots will cor
rode or rust slightly when put away

Profitable Hog Has Strength

The profitable market hog must pos
sess good, strong constitution, for
without this no hog can make a good

good. strong and vigorous constitution
- Invariably extremely good through
the heart and chest, and here is wher.
ne lives, and he cannot be strong and
vigorous il he lacks in this essential
OF development. He should have q
good strong back, be broad and strong

Value of n Good Garden.

A good home garden is a great insti-
tuition. 1t means more on many farms
than the crop of wheat, corn or oats.
1t furnishes food for the family
throughout the summer, and, If prop
erly handled, a liberal supply for win
ter. Some gardens are handled so skill
fully that there is a surplus Of vege-
tables for sale almost every week. 1t
means much to the farmer and his
family and should be planned with the
utmost care and given the very best
attention.

meat, being free rom tuberculosis, Is
probably slightly preferable to that
from the butchers stalls. Skim milk
is good substitute for meat. but be-
ing so bulky the fowls rarely eat
enough Of it to supply the required

Butter Fat and Butter.

What is the difference, you ask, be-
tween butter fat and butter? Or how
much butter will a given amount of
butter fat make? Well, the difference
Is usually about Is or 20 per cent-that
Is. eighty pounds Of butter fat will
churn about a hundred pounds of but
ter. The amount varies according to
the way Of doing the work. for some
butter has more water, salt and curds
In /. than any other butter. Anyway,
there will be more butter than butter

Back to the Farm.

There are three all-important things
to be weighed by the city man who
wtsheS to return to the farm. The
first Is his wife. II she Is in every
sense Of the word a helpmate, loves
the country and can give up what she
has been used to in the city for the
sake Of the children and the building
OF a real home, then the prospects are
fairly favorable to begin with. The
second thing to be considered is your
years and capacity for work; the
third, what is your capital? If all
these are favorable. don't lose day
In trying to get suitably located. II
any one of these points is doubtful,
deliberate we'll and move slowly. Il
you have a fat bank account and a
wife tied to the fieshpots Of the city
you can do nothing in the country;
but, CT the other hand, if your wife
be ono with you heart and soul, then
capital might at pinch be forgotten.
AS to the second point-that Of years
and capacity for work-this is very
important, because so many of those
who are earnestly DESTROYS OF forsak-
ing the city to-day are we'll advanced
In years, who think that the country
would afford them an easy means Of
earning a living. There is nothing
easy on the farm.
