A. Clark, a well known resident of this place. "Since I came west." Mr. Clark states, "I was often troubled with my stomach aud back. Finally I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills ana before I had taken more than half a box I was so much-benefitted that I recommended them to a friend. He also found them a benefit. 1 ani still taking Dodd's Kidney Phis, i^would not he without them." In new countries bad water is ona of the difficulties settlers have to light and had water makes its lirst attactc on the kidneys. To resist this attack the Kidneys must be stimulated and strengthened. Iu other words the Kidneys need Dodd's Kiduey Pills. By giving the Kidneys the help they need people get new health and Dodd's Kidney Pills add to their popularity. ing.'- it was advisable in the autumn to elect and specially store any biennial v.ols to be transplanted this spring for seed production. Fortuuately the European seed ��������� crop-'"of 1913 Avas much above the average, for practically all kinds. Owing to previous shortage in supplies most Canadian seed houses had increased their orders by 50 par cent. or more and had received; full delivery. The excellent seed crop of 1914 was also harvested in spite of war conditions and, although deliveries have beeu delayed and transportation excessiye, most seed .houses have received the greater part if not their contract orders.

Not only their ������������������own experience, hut, mors especially the experience of brother .armors hi the United States, has taught them that, the inevitable outcome of sending their cash orders away tq,mail order houses is .the degeneration of thoir own.'-con ii try. town, and the decrease iu value of their own farm properly.

In view of the above facts, it would seem advisable for farmers in the southern and centre portion of Manitoba to grow corn and feed it as silage as soon as they have the capital to invest in a silc. There are some districts in the north where corn cannot be grown successfully, because of the cool climate and excessive moisture and where these conditions exist an- abundant crop of oats and peas can be grown. Where these crops are used for this purpose, the mixture should be sown as* soon as possible after the oats for threshing have been put in.

At the last session cf the Quebec legislature, the premier voiced a general demand for better roads, and had a liberal sum voted vto continue the work in this province, la the United States the government has . just created a special department to enquire into country roads and to report on the best methods of improving them. The Washington bureau has worked largely on the plan of organizing state road associations. Model\ sections of roads are built and literature concerning them is sent to country and city councils. Three- fourths of the cost of construction and maintenance of the roads in Massachusetts is paid by the state, and one-fourth by the municipalities; The benefits a arising from good roads are incalculable- : Farm produce reaches the markets in better condition, particularly fruit, vegetables and other perishable stuff, in dairying districts, the cost of hauling milk is much reduced. ��������� j. actiu'ies- can.' he farther apart; the cost of making cneese reduced aad greater uniformity ensured.

We have noticed their activities ever since the battle of the Marne, and although they have been rebuffed time and again this seems not to have discouraged them They are in evidence everywhere, now at Washington, then at Rome, then again at The Hague. "In one place they have tried to show how advantageous a separate peace would- be to France. Germany does not wish France any harm. No, indeed! It admires France and could almost love it!- In another -quarter their proposition has concerned an immediate peace treaty between Russia and Austria, based on the cession of Gajicia to the former power andHhe return of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia. "Still another peace -arrangement has been rumored' about, the parties to it being the Allies- and Turkey. The Sultan is supposed to have declared himself willing to lay down arms on condition that Turkey be allowed to retain what is left of its European possessions and that the attempt to force he Dardanelles be' abandoned * forthwith. The straits would henceforth be open to merchant vessels of all nations without any discrimination. As mediators the Pope and President Wilson are most frequently mentioned as the alleged, sponsors of the various peace schemes. "There is only one of its enemies with whom Germany never talks of making separate peace, and that is England. In one of its outbursts of frankness, which have become quite uttered a few days ago the signincsnt remark: 'Peace is impossible as long as England, which makes war at the expense of her allies' blopd, refuses to agree to it.' "It is true that England spurns any peace offers in the present situation, but the same is also true about Russia and Franca. It might be well for Germany to realize that it is only in Berlin that signatures don't count ore. treaties are considered mere scraps of paper- On September 4 last* Great Britain, Frai-ce ������.nd Russia made an agreement to carry on this war in unison to its end to conclude peace, also in common, only after a complete victory. This treaty will hold, and it has' a bearing on Austria and Turkey no less than* on Germany. "If, however, one of the powers lighting on the German side should acknowledge defeat and cease hostile operations the Allies will, of course, discontinue their attacks on it, but "no peace negotiations will be opened anyway until the" whole war is over. And it will be only -at the conclusion of the definite treaty which is going to readjust the map of Europe that the ultimate fate of such a power will be decided,-at the same time that the indemnity charegable- to each of the defeated nations will be settled and the benefits, territorial and other, of the victorious Allies will be apportioned. "In order to reach this goal the Allies, are exerting"al their resources in perfect unanimity and without keeping jealous count ot one another. Assuredly Great Britain does hot conduct this war with the blood of her allies, as the Cologne Zeitung contends. It has set up a formidable army, which has by no means said its last word yet, and which will soon be at" least doubled. It is destined to take great part in the decisive battle which is impending, and the certain success of which is foreshadowed hy the recent actions at Perthes and* Neuve Chapelle. "Our resolution.

Dr. Darn- burg laid stress on the German light for an open sea and asserted the advantages accruiug tu Germany from * permanently retaining the land which it has taken in Europe could be disregarded if all the other German demands, especially i\ guaranteed free sea, were fully complied with in making peace, and "the natural commercial relations of Belgium^to Germany were considered in a just and workable form." Dr. Dernburg's letter in part follows : "I can with full authority disclaim any ambition for my country for world dominion. She is much too modest on the one hand aud too experienced on the other not to know that such a state will never be toler- . ated by the rest. The aim of Germany . limits }s to iiaVe the seas as well as the uar- ^-cv^i-v.- rows kept permanently open tor the free use of all nations in times of war as well as in times of peace. 1 per sonally would even go as far as to neutralize all the seas and* narrows permanently by a common and effective agreement guaranteed by all the powers. ''A free sea is useless except combined with freedom of cable and mail communication. I should like to see all the cables jointly owned by the interested nations and a world mail system oversea established by common consent. "Th������" only alternative to an open sea and free intercourse policy would be a Chinese wall around each country. If there is no free intercourse every country must become self-sufficient. Germany has proven that it can be dohe. But this policy would mean-very high customs barriers, discrimination, unbounded egotism, aud a world bristling iu arms. "Germany does not strive for Lei* ritory aggrandizement in Europe. She does not believe in conquering ana sbujugating unwilling nations. Belgium commands the main outlet of Western German trace, is the _-atur__ foreland of the empire and has been conquered with untold sacrifice ot blood and treasure. It offers to German trade the- only outlet to an open sea and has been politically established, maintained and defended by England in order to keep these natural advantages from Germany. "The love for small peoples that England heralds now will never stand jnivestigation, as shown by the destruction of the small Boer republics. So Belgium cannot be given up. However, these considerations could be disregarded if all the other German, demands, especially a guaranteed free sea, were fully complied with and the natural commercial relations of Belgium to Germany were considered in a just and workable form. In this case Germany will not fail, when tho time comes, to help in rebuilding tho country. In, fact, she is doing so now.". In closing his letter Dr. Dernburg w-ote: "A permanent peace will mean that German activity must get a wide scope withont infringement upon the rights of others."

"I happened to be with the French ���������just got mixed up with them 'after having lost my own company���������in a trench that was about 300 yards distant from a Gcrmar. trench. Behind that Geramn trench there was a town, I could not tell you. the name, as I never knew it. In that town there wes a museum, and in that museum there were two suits of armour, such as the knights used to wear in the days when they did not dream of a '350' gun. . "From what 1 understood, these armour clothes belonged to two great ���������ocal authorities who fought against Hie 'Bosches' a few hundred years ago; but the Germans respect no living or dead inan, and they hit upon a clever trick. "One night they brought out the two suits of armour and placed them about 75 yardsA from their trench.

Why We Are at War Germany's Object Was to Destroy the Free Empire of England Germany boasts that* it Is her appointed m'SBion to conquer a great world-empire through which she may impose her ideals upon mankind. Our empire and our ideals are the chief obstacles in her path. This consideration is the key to all \nr world-policy. That is why she has grasped at the trident. That is why she has been Intriguing for years in Egypt, in India, and in South Africa. That is why phe has watched our domestic controversies and the supposed symptoms of oiir decadence with malignant vlgllancd. That Is why she has sought, again and ngain, to sow mistrust between us and our partners, and why at the last she tried to bribe us into treachery. Her object in this war is not only tb shatter the triple entente, but to shelter the entento in order to tieBtroy the freo empire of England, and to rear upon its rulnn a German world-empli'b of militarism and bureaucracy.

CRESTON, B.C., FRIDAY, JUNE 11 Will" Run if Needed Neil Mackay, M.P.P. for Kaslo, who was here about three "weeks ago, looking over this end of the newly-constituted Kaslo constituency, has kept liis word concerning an early announcepient as to whether he would- again seek the Conservative nomination, reallv nothinc definite in liouncemen t���������some thing Indian weather forecast, taking things by and large tRey come pretty close to filling the bill. And with all these qualifications any of them will have their hands full to be returned a winner. Start Ri^ht There is f-.hpi r������m- ----- JL ��������� " like an mebbe rain, mebbe snow, mebbe fine��������� though it has the merit of seeming to indicate that if there is a stronger candidate in sight Mr. Mackay will gracefully make way for him to ensure the success of the party in the riding. Here's what he had to say, as reported by the Kaslo Kootenaian: "Neil F. Mackay, M.P.P,, who was a recent- visitor here, could give no definite assurance as to whether he would again be a caudidate in this riding. It is possible that be may decide to enter the contest, provided that the chances of Conservative success will be strengthened by his candidacy." In these days when the sitting member lnrario Kl >3r OOj__iSXv-���������������5T*S ITS*- nomination to be his, sort of by aiViiiB rignfc, it is g5.C-_ to see one member who so frankly endorses* the policy that the success of the party transcends that of the sitting nienoiuer. For this somewhat elusive statement at least two reasons may be assigned. Mr. Mackay makes his home at Victoria and no doubt realizes that now a rapidly developing front rank agricultural section has been added to his constituency he could not do his constituents justice by continuing as their representative and still make his permanent home at- the capital; and as between coming to some point in the riding to reside and retiring from public life he has about decided to quit the political arena. . Or, having completed his trip over the territory, he may have discerned the writing on the wall and concluded that certain outward and visible signs foretold a forced retirement and he has decided not to take chances on a comeback. Under the circumstances it is a pleasure to assure. Mr. Mackay that he need lose no sleep about any shortage of likely candidates. Right here in Creston we havo several, and Kaslo can make an equally-good showing, no doubt. Also, at least one Creston prospect enjoys a considerable popularity all through the riding and would make a very acceptable representative in (.very respect. Notwithstanding some adverse comment on our willingness to act in an advisory capacity in the matter of selecting a Tory nominee, wc submit that any old plug of a Tory candidate can't carry Kaslo 1 his trip. John Keen is a lighter .ind in this campaign tho issues arc favorable to tho Keen type of cam- p.impaigm.r. To offset this advantage tho Conservative standard bearer must be a man of eharaoter. with hnsi- ih-hs ability and a reputation for being big enough to withdraw his HiippurL from measure., not in tho public interest.

Creston Valley has a couple ol' men who |x>ssi������������ly do not measure up perfectly fo the standard, hut In our news columns last week we made the announcement that for the first time in the history of the Valley Creston had got around to the point where local butter was available in such quantities as to enable Creston merchants not only to supply the loeal demand but to leave a surplus for export. ~*~ This is splendid news in one particular direction; undoubtedly as soon as we get rid of the idea that we can grow fruit and then buy everything else we'; need at four times what it would cost to produce it we may expect ito see the Creston Valley the most prosperous part of Canada. To get the best returns, however, from the capital invested and labor expended on dairying it is absolutely essential that butter that tastes right should he made���������and no other kind. In these stringent times there is little demand for butter for cooking purposes���������and you would be grossly insulted if the dealer classed your product as suoh ���������and the variety commonly classed as axle grease is absolutely unsaleable. Therefore the rancher who is branching out into dairying shpuld start right; start in now-, before VQi_ ' cratr.' ont ii. vnnr wavR." to master the art of making butter that tastes right, and put it up so it looks as good as it tastes. r_i_. _ ���������__!

They should cultivate the acquaintance of good buttermakers, of whom the Valley has a fair- share, and get to know when cream is ripe for churning; find out how much salt is needed to give the right flavor in that respect, and rrai-iona llxr drtrmoinf f hat������.oolirao v_rr.4--V the system adopted by buttermakers whose product is in demand��������� local storekeepers can give you their names. Previous to the outbreak of war the Denmark butter averaged close to $1 a pound the world over, and scarce at that price. People will pay the price for the gilt edge article. Produce the high grade stuff, put up properly, and you will have no trouble getting first grade prices���������and incidentally do much to build up a reputation for the dairy products of the Creston Valley in future years. This week we are showing what we believe to be the nicest and newest line of Dry Goods that the ladies of Creston have ever had the pleasure of selecting from in town. We have Prints, Dress Ginghams, Dress Crepe, Voile Pktrse Cloth, Apron Ginghain, Heavy Ducks Also Shirtings for Men's and Boys5 wear These are all in the popular 1915 effects which we bought right.

Por this section a safe prediction on the apple crop would be that it will average up pretty well with 1014. A. Miller, who has quite tt young orchard finds the outlook pretty much the same as a year ago. Rose & Watcher look for a falling off as high as 20 per cent. W. A. Pease will have an average crop.' while on the Compton place, if the "Juno drop" is not severe there will be an increased output of 40 per cent. In connection with this property it should be noted that in 1014 the "drop" was excessive, Mr. Compton figuring that it cost him almost 1,000 boxes abovo a normal shrinkage from this cause. Taking thoso four ranches as representative of the section in which they aro located indications point to a good year particularly for Transparent.!, Wagmr and Jonathan, with the Duchess, Mcintosh Rod, Baldwin, Spltaon- borg, .Snows and Nonsuch also considerably in evidence. ; On these same places 1014 was a big year for Baldwin, Grecnlnga and Wealthy.

Telephone 81 1 Live Stock on Fruit Farms quarters cow. be provided for the dairy Some form of stock raising can oft/en be profitably combined with orcharding both from the point of view of additional income and tho conservation of soil fertility. The greatest danger from it is that few men eat_ make a success of several lines of agriculture at the same time. Dairy cattle, hogs and poultry have been suc- cesfully combined with orcharding iu British Columbia. In the dry belt, poultry raising promises well, while in the humid sections poultiy raising and dairying or a combination of the two have long been profitable adjuncts to orcharding/ Where dairying is engaged in as a side line to orcharding, it will usually be found profitable to keep some hogs. Live stock such as horses and cows should never be permitted to trample orchard land, especially when it is wet. Hogs should be kept away from young trees but may be allowed to run among old ones. In favorable localities bee-keeping should prove a profitable side line for the orchardist. Care and Management of Dairy Cattle If success is to, be attained in dairying every detail must be considered and one of no small importance is the. dairy barn. The dairy cow is in a measure an artificial animal and one responds readily to the care and skill of the herdsman by increased milk production and just as certainly she responds to cold, neglect, rough treatment etc. by diminished production. Beef cattle are fed a ration that is of a fattening nature and which is cioseiy assoc_ateu witii lueat prod uet loti. On the other hand the dairy cow is fed ���������a highly nitrogenous ration to support milk production and one which has but, little heat producing- ^ahie, consequently it is essential that good NOTICE m Pound District Act and Pound District Amendment Act Stables.' Since the dairy cow produces milk for human- food it is' important that the cow be kept in a healthy condition and the barns be so constructed that the milk can be handled in a sanitary manner. Plenty of air and sunshine are the first requisites. Too many dairy barns are dark and dirty with but poor, ventilation; such barns need a thorough cleaning and whitewashing and the installation of more windows. A dairy barn should be so constructed as to facilitate the work and at the same time be comfortable for the cows, For sections of the province where the winters are cold a high ceiling is not to be recommended, eight' to ten feet is high enough. Plenty of room should be allowed behind the animals for a TOjrlo walk; *������__ R������?ch fl. -walk makes the barn easier to keep clean. Cement is now being used in the construction of floors and walls and when it _-_ properly made with air spaces in the walls, it is very satisfactory, being durable and easy to clean, although in section's where the winters are severe it is hardly advisable to have the stall floors made of it. unless they have a wood topping, that is, a covering of wood that is easily removed for cleaning. Manure should not be stored under the stable, but should be sent to a pit some distance from the barn. There are many kinds of stalls in use arid nearly all have their good points. One of the easiest on both man and cow is some form of swing stanchion, with a bent iron rod extending back half the length of the stall and down to the floor, to seperate the cows and prevent their stepping on each other. In summing up it may* be said that a stable should be well lighted, well ventilated} warm enough to be comfortable in mid-winter and convenient both for the cattle and for the herdsman. Milking ������ The milking should be, done regularly night and morning arid at equal intervals, that is if the milking- is done in the morning at six, it should be done also at six in the evening. If there is more than one milker, each should have certain cows to milk and should milk these regularly, commencing with the same one at a certain timeand milking them inrotation. ���������the'milking should' be'done with both hands and as rapidly as possible without hurting the cow. As jn all opera- tion^with dairy cattle, gentleness is. absolutely necessary. Gestation Period " The gestation period of cows is nine months. As the time draws near for parturition the udder becomes distended and hard and the muscles and tendons relax on each Ride of the rump giving a hollowed appearance. During the summer months if the flies are not bad and the weather is suitable, it is at first at* least three times a day, having the milk at blood heat. By the time the, calf is three weeks or a month old it will begin to nibble hay if it ean get it., ������ats and bran can now be given^ in small quantities, it will tiik'e the calf only a little time to learn to eat them; and some good clover or 1-_ *_���������_���������������* manger also. As the calf learns to eat dry feed, a handful; df oil meal and a ha_-d������ui of corn rueai may be added to the ration, but nothing excells oats.

Rearing the Calf A properly reared dairy animal is trained from birth with a view,to the production of milk. Tho ideal Is a cow that can consume large quantities of food and change it into milk rather than into flesh excepting for what is required to keep the animal healthy and strong. Do not feed foods that haye a tendency to fatten. Let the calf suckle its dam tho first two or three days. The first milk, the colostrum, is a natural physic and "essential to the calf. Toach it to drink as soon ao possible. If it does not readily learn, skip a meal and there will usually bo no fur- thor trouble. For tho fir ������t ten dayn ortwowooks aftor the calf has been tn,ught to drink feed it Whole milk, always warm and proforalily from tho samo cow each tlmo. Now skimmed milk is being substituted for wholo miik, it is a good thing to feud flaxseed jolly to take the placo of tho nutrients that are lacking In tho skimmed milk, beginning with a spoonful and Increas- inir gradually.

Winslow, provincial horticulturist, has just ..completed a trip through the Okanagan and mainland districts, and in aujnterview expresses the utmost confidence in 1915 being a pretty fair all round year for the British Columbia fruit-growers. From personal observation and a study of reports from the apple-exporting sections of 'the Northwestern States, Mr. Winslow finds that apples are shor4t nearly every where, so that prices can hardly fail to be high. In Kootenay the crop will be above normal���������equal to that of 1914. Baldwins and Starks and some of the e_vlipr varieties are lighter than others. Cherries are scarce everywhere and consequently,-, .will bring good prices. It was expected earlier in the season that the Okanagan would have a bumper cherry crop but the drop T-.-_.C_ "--_!____���������_������������������_������������������.���������*. Kq .������ ������*-*? .������-_,WM. * j * T ^ *���������������*. The peach crop in Wenatchee is 30 per cent, below 1914 and in Yakima the decrease is a good 20 per cent. In the Okanagan the yield will be hardly as heavy as a year ago.' In view of this apparent all-round shortage Mr. Winslow is of opiuion that good prices can be expected from this fruit. There will probably be a good crop of pears but as this fruit will also be heavy in Yakima and Southern Oregon as well, high prices can hardly be expected.- , Mr. Winslow makes no observation on the plum crop,y but the Dominion fruit crop report for June states that British .'Columbia reports a minimum crop in the Coast district and about 75 per cent. Of last year's crop in the inland valleys. It is interesting to note in the Dominion fruit bulletin that the acreage under tomatoes in Eastern Canada is considerably reduced "this year and many canning factories will not be operated. The supply of tomatoes on the market will bo small ' compared with last year. . Disdussing the 1915 markets the Dominion Fruit Commissioner remarks: "There seems to, be no iinmediate cause for the producers to be discouraged, Later in , the season will be quite soon enough for that, if.there it. any need for discouragement at all. In the meantime, growers will be doing themselves the best possible service if thoy tako care of their crop just as they would In an 'Ordinary season. If the fruit is of good quality and is well packed, there is jio reason to doubt thnt thoro will bo a demand for it*at prices which will roturn tho producer a, satisfactory figure. Agricultural conditions in tho wost aro extremely favorablo and thero is eyory indication that the farmers will receive good prices and that money will circulate freely.

The farmer replied: "Do you?" The answer was "No." The farmer who keeps his books on a shingle or a barn door is just as likely to be successful in farming as a city man who thinks a set of ledgers is the greatest farm asset. In the discussion of credit there may also be a tendency to think for the farmer; Every borrower must have a proper basis of credit- The cry in some quarters is that the farmer is not granted sufficient credit, that the banks are harsh with him. This seems to be a mistake. The banks like for a customer a farmer With a proper basis of credit, ju3t as much as they do a manufacturer or anyone else with a similar credit standing. One farmer at least tells the Monetary Times that the trouble is often that farmers get credit too easily and that that is a frequent cause of distress. This' opinion is confirmed by some interesting figures from the Bradwe.1 district of Saskatchewan. Of .17 homestead failures, 8 are said to he due to purchasing threshing outfits, the new owners being unable to run them, and 3 to getting into debt too deeply. Of 100 farmers in the district. 24 purchased too much land, considering the capital they had. Eight are still heavily involved for threshing outfits and power machinery and about 40 are simiiiariy involved for horses and equipment.���������Monetary Times. ting a found crop of flaxseed this year at prices that promise to mak. it a most profitable"crop.

The remaining .home-grown seed, almost eleven per cent, was he_og sown direct from the thresher with no cleaning whatever.

Some of the weed seeds are difficult to separate but most ot. them can be removed by a fanning mill. Any make of mill which has sufficieut shake, angle or slope of sieves' and wind supply :r.ay be provided with suitable sieves. The top sieves should be just coarse enough to let the grain run through and need sufficient slope to run coarse impurities over the tail of the mill." The lower screens should have openings of the size required for grading or removing weed seeds. With wheat the grade for' high- class seed is made over an 8-64 inch perforated zinc screen. The grade for oats is made over a screen with slots 5-64 by "-V^-inch. Barley requires the same type with, slots larger depending on tiie size of the seed. Wild buckwheat may be removed from wheat by a screen wtih triangular perforators 9-64 inch or larger. Flax requires on top a woven wire sieve 3x16 inch mesh (3 spaces to the inch one way and .16 the other) and a 1-12 inch perforated screen .below. If sieves or screen of the desired size and type cannot be had from the fanning mill manufacturer, the sheet material may be obtained through any reliable seed house and made up hy a carpenter.���������Seed Branch, Ottawa. .

The Indians were present to draw their allowance of federal rations from the government. Boss Farmer Forrest Ii. Stone presided at the meeting. He had invited a number of Dupree people to be present and assist in the instruction and many responded. ' ��������� - Lewis Speaker devoted an������* hour's time explaining to the Indians the proper way to plant potatoes, what varieties brought the best' results, how the seed potatoes should be cut, how deep to plant them and other valu: able information along this line. Puts-on-His-Siioes, one of the first Indians in this section to adopt civilization���������from which fact he derived his name���������told of his experiences in raising potatoes. O. S. Geesey spoke on the value of proper horse raising, showing the Indians how much money they could derive from this source by following certain rules in breeding. Straight Head and Judge Charley Corn talked along the same line, enlarging somewhat on Mr. Geesey's remarks. Mrs. Tony Acker "addressed the meeting to some length on the value of sheep raising in the reservation country where pasturage is "bountiful. She impressed the Red i'leu with the fact that with sheep there were two profits to be derived a year from thfe wool, while the animals could be marketed for mutton at any time. The second day of the institute was devoted to alfalfa and corn raising. Robert Makes Room. Giles Tapitola and Frank Corn being the principal speakers. Brooks7 "Appliance. JSew discovery.

Advice For the Farmer Before farming as a business or profession can be conquered successful in the highest and bastrsehse; the profits arising from, production and distribution of farm products must be shared by the household. Good breeds;6f live stock and the most" approved arid up-to-date labor- saving farm implem.nts are a necessity on the farm.
