IN MEMORIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance of our dea
father, John c. Leffert who died one year age
December 8, 1915.
One wear has passed. our hearts still sore;
AS time flies on we miss him more;
He sleeps we leave him in peace to rest;
The parting was painful, but God knew best.
In the home his place is vacant,
Vacant is his old arm chair,
And the home has lost its brightness,
For our father is not there.

BUSINESS RULES FOR 1916

It's a belief of The Progressive Farmers that the farmer ought to be just as truly a business man" as a manufacturer or mer- cnant-n not so big business man" in most cases, but just as genuinely business" in all his methods. So important is this in our opinion that we are going to repeat a few ideas we have been suggesting over and over again:
 T. Take an inventory the first of the year.
 2. Put your rental contract in writing.
 3. See that all deeds and other papers are in proper shape; and put your will in written form. 4. Get all your 1915 debts paid, and if there are any you cant pay now, get a memorandum as to the exact amounts of all and ar range to extinguish them as fast as possible.
 5. Get a farm record or account book and keep account of all sales purchases, ect., in 1916.
 6. Put your money in a bank and pay all bills by check. 2. Use printed stationery, al- phabetical letter files and bill files, and n ake it a rule Cts one to be proud of) that you answer all letters promptly.
 8. If you must buy on credit at any time during the year, make 1t a point to exhaust all efforts to borrow cash and pay interest 6, s, or even 10 per cent per annum if necessary rather than pay 25 to 75 per cent per annum in the form of time prices.
 9. Keep informed as to prices in more than one market, and practice proper grading and pa k- ing of every product you sell. l9. Name your farm and make reputation for it as a place from which to get quality pro ducts, prompt service, and a square deal. The Progressive Farmer.

a Factor in the Career of
Bobbie Burns.

Revolt was temleramental ana

volt was followed by Il reaction OF
feeling; then the bnlled rebe, could
only fall back upon resignation, u, on a
fataliSm that soured the heart and
turned mirth TO melancholy, upon Il
peSsimism that closed all doors Of
hope for the poor With added
proofs that man WAS made To mourn,
and "death the poor mans dearest
friend, the kindoSt and thr b"st - but
this revolt was u constant factor in
Burns career.

Whig partisan; it got him into trouble

MORE METHODS FROM THE WAR ZONE.

In former times when a wound had
become infected and pus was rolling
out Of it, it was the custom to stand by
until suppuration had run its course.
The surgeons in the British and French
armies are not treating s~uppurating
wounds hat way. They disinfect the
wounds and then close them up with
adhesive strips. 1t takes from two to
10 days to disinfect a s~uppurating
wound.
Three methods are employed by
three groups of surgeons. There does
not seem to be much choice between
the methods. Carrel washes the
wound with Dakin's fluid, $50 grams of
carbonate of soda is dissolved in 20
liters of water, 500 grams of bleaching
powder is added. The mixture is
shaken for five minutes, then 20 liters
of water are added and the mixture is
again shaken and then allowed to stand
for one hour. The clear fluid is
siphoned off and filtered acid is added.
The wound is washed out with this
solution every hourN or every two hours,
until 1T is sterile. Then the wound is
snugly closed with adhesive strips. 1t
heals in a few days.
Dakin's fluid will not keep more than
two weeks. Therefore Dakin and Cohen
devised a powder called tomaline in
England and chlorazene in the United
States. A 8 to 4 per cent solution in
