Never has anything produced such wonderful results as the new flesh builder, Protone. Thin. anaemic, pale faced, thin-lipped, tired, aching, pony men and women take on most re- markable new lease of life.
 The hollow places fill out, the nerves are sheathed with healthy covering, the muscles plump up with natural flesh, the eyes lose that hungry plead ing expression, and you feel better and stronger in every part of the body. The secret is in the fact that Protone cor rects the faults of assimilation. Your food Is converted into the kind Of blood that makes solid flesh. Your entire system becomes greedy for this new, rich, red material.
 Thin people arc often hearty eaters, but the blood is watery- The substan- tial clements don't get into the circu- aation, but pass along without being assimilated. But Protone has the most remarkable effect of arousing intest- fnal absorption of food elements and 1t is nothing unusual for thin men and women to gain weight pound day until normal Is reached. Nature takes care of this, for when the natural weight has been attained, the surplus is converted into waste and thrown out through the emunctories of the body.

A Rest

From the Chicago Record-H Herald.
 Pierre Lott, the famous French author, praised American energy at the Hotel Marie Antoinette in New York.
 There's a story" he said, that illus trates well the energy of your men Of affairs.
 "A gentleman called at the office of an indefatigaale millionaire financier It was o'clock in the afternoon and the fan cier lay back in a revolving chair with his feet on his desk and a picture maga- zine in his hand.
 I've worked mighty hard for the last ten years without a days vacation, he explained. I feel all run down. and I'm now going to take a long rest
 And a well-earned rest it will be, too, said the visitor heartily.
 "The visitor departed. expecting that the millionaire would set out at once for Europe or California; but the next morn- ing he saw him presiding as busily as ever at an important directors meet ing.
 Why. how about that long rest?' he asked
 'rhe millionaire drowned in amaze- ment.
 "'Didn't I take 1t yesterday after noon? he said"

Regular bowel movement from child hood on forestalls future se-

 We cannot all start life with the ad- santases of money, but every child born is entitled to the heritage of good health Through unfortunate ignorance or care lessness in the feeding of a baby its tiny stomach may become deranged The disorder spreads to the bowels and be- fore the mother realizes it the two chief organs on which the infants comfort and health depend are causing it great suffering. If the condition is allowed to continue grave ailments often result.
 There is, however. no occasion for alarm, and the sensible thing to debut 1t should be done instantly-is to give the baby a small dose of a mild laxative tonic. In the opinion Of a great many people, among them such well known persons as the parents of Reginald Wayne Dannis, 20 Sinner street, At 1anta, Ga, and MT. Edward T. Roh 1ader, 2l1 N Chapel street, Baltimore, Md, the proper remedy is pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. It is a pleasant-tasting laxative, which every person likes. It is mild, non-griping, and contains that most excellent of all dgestants. pepsin.
 This remedy is especially intended for infants, children. women, old people and all others to whom harsh oathartics, salt waters, pills, etc., are distressing. In fact, in the common disorders of life, such as constipation, liver trouble, indi- gestion, bniousness, headaches, and the various other disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels nothing is more suitable than this mild laxative-tonic, Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepstn.

That 1t was hard and trying course shown by the fact that only two do, out of fl entries got their sheep hone within the time.
 And all this time. it must be remen bered the owner of the dog was not al lowed to guide 1t in any way except b. word and whistle, his instructions sound ing something like this: "Whew. whew! whewi (meaning. Steady, now! Walk them along easilyrD "Whoo-oo- oo-oow low and soothingly ("Gently. gently, or you'll scare themi'). Whit! whit!' (s'Now you can hurry them a bit.o, ''Whit-oo" sharp and suddenly ("Quick! they're breaking!), "Whee-ee-oo.' as ai- most in a scream C. After them like madrD. and so forth; and as the man motioned with his stick, swung his arm, or raised his hand, the dog. mere speck, perhaps at the farther end of the field, turned left or right. went gently on swung out in wide circuit, or dropped motionless to the ground.
 At Tring Park the trial was for 12 min utes It was the dogs duty to drive sheep through two sets of false fences, crcss the valley through narrow open ings in two more false fences, put the sheep each way through a Maltese cross, and finally pen them. Twelve minutes were allowed for this heavy task, and if a dog did not get his sheep through the first false fence in five minutes he was called off The shepherd and his dog stood above the course on 8 hill, and from a signal from the judge three wild sheep from the Welsh mountains were released 600 yards away. The dog saw them and pricked up his ears. but kept as still as a rock until his master made low, soft whistle To the onlooker this meant nothing in particular. but 1t told the dog that he was to run In wide semcircle to a spot behind the sheep. A second whistle of a different kind made him crouch low in the grass. while a third whistle made him go straight for the sheep and drive them through the open. ing in one of the false fences And g. the sheep were hurried on to the pen ! a series of cries and whistles, each fo lowed by a different action on the par of the dog In strict obedience to it ma aster. Sometimes the dog was nearl half a mile away, but he always re sponded to the whistle with electrics quickness. |
 Tt all depends on the dog, said or shepherd from the hills of Westmorlane when asked how he managed to train tn animal to such a pitch. Some will neve learn. but q good one can be taught il about six months. No; won't take $5o) for my dog"

FEATS
 0F SHEEP DOCS

From Tit-Bits.
 It may be considered an open question as to which breed of dog is the most in telligent but those who understand the daily work of the sheep dog and the feats he is capable of performing. guided by a mere whistle or word from his master, are unanimous in the opinion that his sa- gacity is unequalled. That there is much Justification for this assertion those who were present at the recent West Riding sheep dog trials at Sedbergh, or saw the trials some time. ago at Tring Park, will probably agree, for on these. occa.- sions canine intelligence was seen at It's highest level, and sthe sheep dogs did things which would put many circus dogs to shame.
 The trials at Sedbergh were an exceed ngly severe test, the dogs having to drive three sheep over zigzag course marked by red and white posts, through sets of false fences and narrow openings, and at the finish work the sheep through a cunning arrangement of hurdles in the form of Maltese cross, before bringing them home. Not only were the sheep and dogs strangers to one another, but the course was quite unknown to either, ana the uOg nau nOtH1nS to Su1ue nlui put the whistles and shouts of his master, who was not allowed to move from a certain spot near the judge until close upon the finish of the trial.
 In the tests at Sedbergh three sheep were enclosed in a triangular space. formed by three gates or hurdles, hinged at the bottom and fitted with levers, so that at signal pull on the rope from the judges tent. says the Times, the catches of all were lifted and they fell outwardly and simultaneously fiat upon the grass. Thus, without any one going near them. the sheep were suddenly set free.
 As soon as the hurdles fell the owner of the dog. with word or motion of his hand or arm. sent his dog to start the sheep from where they stood. They were then taken some 200 yards down the right side of the field and through an IS foot wide gap in line of hurdles Swinging to the left they were brought round on the near side of red flag at the bottom of the field and. still to the left, outside a white flag and up another 2o0-yard-long straight run home, through another IS feet opening marked merely by red double flags on one hand and white double flags on the other.
 From here the sheep were driven for 30 yards or so straight towards the judges and spectators to where, close to the place from which the dog had started, stood the Maltese cross. through which the animals were worked first, as it were, from north to south, and then brought

The Silent Land

The figures for Kimbolton. Bungay and Barrowden show that the population of three typical districts under arable and pasture land cultivation steadily decreased during the greater part of the last half century Even these figures, however, fail to fully reveal the extent of the evil. The population of the United Kingdom has been steadily increasing as a res uit of the surplus of births over deaths at the rate of 10 per cert and oyer every 10 years, and the truth as to the decay of the Village cannot be grasped until it is clearly understood that not only has the vilalge declined In population, but that the increase in population has been swal- lowed up by migration to the towns and emigration to other countries. What pro- portion of this is due to the former and what to the latter 1t is difficult, If not impossible, to determine. From our in- quiries, however, we are of opinion that from 80 to 90 per cent go to the towns. In Scotland the proportion of agricul- tural workers emigrating to Canada is much greater, as the Canadian govern ment have for many years made special efforts to secure Scotch laborers as as sisted emisrants-
 The effects of this depopulation are writ large over the whole country side, One may drive for miles along the lanes and between the fields in the south coun- try without seeing any sign of human life save a solitary road mender or hedge cutter. The emptiness and silence at last become disquieting; it Is as if some spell had been laid on the land rendering it mute nor until the country town comes in sight does the sense that somef evil magic Is at work disappear.
 The truth that the sins of omission are of greater moment to a nation than those of commission is indellbly recorded throughout some of the fairest districts of England.
 The feuda1 system of land tenure took its rise in the understanding that men were given land to hold on condition that they performed certain public duties That these duties were fulfillel in me- diaeval days Is beyond question. It is equally beyond question that during the past century land owners have regarded the possession of land as involving no re- sponsibility for the uplifting of the men who work on it.
 Carlyle, in Past and Present." ap- pealed to them in famous passage. but his words fell on deaf ears: Look on him there; man of manful aspect; something of the cheerfulness of pride still lingering in him. A free air of grace full stoicism, of easy, silent dignity sits well on him. in his heart could we reach it. lie elements of generosity, self-sacri- flcing justice, true human valor. Why should he with such} appliances stand an incumbrance in the present. perish dis astrously out of the future? Is there no noble work for this man too? Has he not weary heavy-laden ploughers of land. immortal souls of men, ploughing, ditch ing, day-drudging. bare of back. empty of stomach, nigh desperate of heart; and none peaceably to help them but he, un- der heaven,'
 Perish disastrously out of the future" " Is this to be not only a warning, but the fate of the land owners of England?

round and again put through from east to west.
 Once they were over that formidable obstacle, nothing remained but the pen ming; but the entrance to the pen was only 26 inches wide The whole course, from the falling of the hurdles at the start to the penning of the sheep at the end, had to be- done in eight minutes.

IS called dust mulch" or dust blank et," and Is simply a layer of soil which has been loosened up and dried out. Muiches of foreign material play a very small part in general farming, but are extensively used in horticul. ture in some localities.
 The principle of the mulch is: Loose, dry material covering wet soil retards the movement of water to the surface, and keeps the dry, circulat. ing air from contact with the moist soil, thereby greatly reducing the loss of water. The finer the mulch. the looser it must be to give good results Ordinary soil mulches two to three inches deep are usually most effective When a mulch becomes wet its efrec tiveness is gone until it dries out.
 A quantity of water retained by cultivation is of far greater value even where water is plentiful than the same amount applied to the soil One of the great principles of dry farm. ing is to keep a good mulch on the soil all the time to prevent loss oi water by evaporation.

DAIRY NOTES.

The dairy COW pays the biggest re turns for extra care.
 Milk to be kept longer than over night should be cooled to 50 degrees or under.
 Dairying is becoming one of the most substantial industries conencted with farming
 Sore teats will also cause some COWS to switch their tails into the mixers face.
 By using alfalfa judiciously even if 1t must be bought at $22.5O, COWS can be fed to earn money.
 The good COW is the home builder. the soil saver. the rich mans luxury and the poor mans friend.
 Watch the feeding of the calf, espe- cially of the young heifer, 30 that no digestive disorders will occur.

LIVE STOCK ON A DRY FARM
Homesteader Should Have Two Cows and One or Two Brood Mares-AIso
 Brood Sow and Few Hens.

For some time after the home Bteader locates on his dry farm, he is not going to keep much live stock for time. His first effort will be centered, and rightly so, on the growing of grain. But in time that must change. Some live stock must be kept upon the dry farm.
 In what form will 1t be kept? It will not be easy to answer that ques- tion, conditions vary so much. But something may be said on it. When the homesteader goes onto the dry farm. If he has a family, he should not fail to take with him his one COW, says the Dakota Farmer Two will answer his purpose better. He can graze them for nothing the first summer on his own land if there is no Open range. He should have at least one or two brood mares in his outfit of horses. and these should be carrying foai. They can aid in doing his work and also in nursing the foals. He should bring with him half Q dozen fowls and brood SOW. Tn this way a large part of the living for him. self and his family will be furnished at but little cost. The first season he should grow enough food to carry these through the winter
 In most instances, the plan followed is quite different. The homesteader buys his living the first season. He pays famine prices for it. Such ma terials are always dear in new country. Every effort, therefore, should be made to avoid purchasing as far as this may be practicable
 It should be remembered, however. that live stock cannot be kept on the dry farm in such numbers as on the farm of equal area in humid climates. ! This cannot be done for the reason that that the production is less in the line of fodder and also in the line of pasture. The production In dry areas is peculiar. The straw is of a dwarfish cast, while the grain is usu- lily abundant. The dry land farmer cannot be too careful not to overstock lest an unusually dry season should Ind him ill prepared to meet it.
