A recent Survey shows that one of the favourite beverages of the people of Canada is milk. To satisfy this demand for fresh milk alone, over 4,625.000 gallons per year, or about pme pint per head of population per day is required. This should serve to give some idea of the prominence which dairying has attained. The total value of Cana dian dairy products exceeds -250 millions annually.

Scientific agriculture Is all the go just now, They're waiting, for Spring to come To speed behind the plow. But good-bye dear old Dobbin, You’re far too slow for'them; For they’re full of modern notions, And must have some speed and vim. The girls were there so trim and neat, And so the story ran They learned of vitamins and meat To satisfy the inner man. Of ail the -now recipes, They received them by the score, For they were tried and tested And many asked for more. Miss Zavitz was dietitian And instructions she- did tell, You needed no physician If her rules you followod’ well. By Miss Watts’ skilled'advice, A bandage they did learn to place Around a wounded hand or leg Or on the head or face. They also learned to sew a seam, And fashioned gowns so grand; For Miss McLaughlin’s was the lead To guide the wandering hand. At the close of the Course That Mr. McCague put on; All the boys and all the girls, At a banquet had some fun. The feast was spread with viands rare, And fit for king or queen, The toasts -were given by princes fair Whose like was seldom seen. One day the Chamber of Commerce of town, A luncheon to all, did give Some made speeches, some sang songs And some ate pie to live. They all* enjoyed the fleeting hours With pleasure unsurpassed, And many voiced their sentiments May the Short Courses always last.—Miss E.
