She was accompanied in her first recitaâ€" tion by Miss Kennedy on the piano and Mr. Green on the violin. The singing and dancing of the Lawrie children fairly brought down the house and they were recalled again and again.

Care is taken not to let the bluestone and lime mixture come together until each is well weakened with water. The lead is added any time, amd mixâ€" ing is done by turning the hose into the barrel and pumping. In spraying after the bloom falls, I use the lead and water separately for the codling moth, and apply liberally, with a coarse spray and high pressure, and apply the Bordeaux mixture immediatâ€" ely after in a fine misty spray, just as much as sticks on without dripping. By this method I get about 98 to 984 per cent. free from worms, and pretty free from spot.

It does not contain Grain, nor farm products. Nor does it contain ‘"‘Doupe,""‘ or any other injurious ingredient. Royal Purple does not merely temporarily bloat or inspire the Animal. It fattens and strengthens it, permanently. _ They need something to prevent disease, to cure disease, and to keep them in the best of health, all the time. It is not more food your Animals need. They must have something to help their bodies get all the nourishment from the food they are getting. So that they will fatten, and stay fat, all the year ‘round. *‘Stock Food‘"‘ will not do this. Because "‘Stock Food‘‘ is nothing more or less than a mixture of the very things which you, yourself, grow on your own farm. 6 days, as there was an extra weight of milk.

ANDREW WEGRICH, of Wainfliett, Ont., says : ‘‘This is to certify that A have tried your Royal Purple Stock Specific for two weeks, on one cow. On the 16th I weighed her milk as 17 pounds.

Royal Purple will permanently cure the Bots, Colic, Worms, Skin Diseases and Debility, and restore run â€"down Animals to plumpness and vigor. ® TRUE FENCE ECONOMY Too many purchasers of wire fencâ€" ing do not look far enough beyond the first cost. If they would only reaâ€" lize that what they are buying is so many years of fence protection not so many feet of wire, they would see that first cost has little to do with fencel economy. Saving a few cents a rod on the cost of a fence may mean knockâ€" ing several years off the length of service. Lighter wire and poorer galvanizing must naturally be expected in a cheap fence and these succumb more quickly to rust. Therefore, if the object is to purchase a fence which will last the longest instead of one whose first cost is the lowest, it is well to select carefully. "TPE C V | CAIGL _ LCY I > J 2:024 At a cost of only twoâ€"thirds of a cent a day per Animal, Royal Purple Stock Specific makes each Animal worth 25 per cent. more. You never heard of any other Specific or ‘"‘Stock Food,‘"‘ doing likewise. In conclusion, the question may be asked. Why this crop last fall, when few people have enough for themselâ€" ves? My own opinion is, the vigorous condition the orchard is in, and the thorough spraying it received I pack my own apples, and prices realized are equal to those obtained by many of the best coâ€"operative associations of Ontario. a high percentage of choice fruit and keep in line with Western American neighbors, this branch of orchard work must not be neglected.

So, you see, it is only necessary to give Royal Purple Specific once each day. Most "Stock Foods‘"‘ in 50â€"cent Packâ€" ages last but 50 days, and are given three times a day. One 5Oâ€"cent Package of Royal Purple will last one Animal 70 days. This figures a little over twoâ€"thirds of a cent per day.

Gentlemen,â€"Last Fall we had in our stables a young mare belonging to Miss Clouston, of Montreal. We could not feed her any bran on account of causing violent scouring, consequently causing her to become weak and thin. We comâ€" menced using your Royal Purple Stock Specific, and the results were wonderful. Aiter using it three weeks, we found weo could feed the animal bran or any other soft feed without scouring her, and she actually took on in this time twentyâ€"five pounds of flesh, we working her at the same time through the hunt. I can heartily recommend your Stock Specific. TOM SMITH, W. A. Jenkins Mig.
