We must agree that very often calves which slrotrlel be kept in the herd, for breed - int; purposes are turned away , or 1 eat and their owner gets very little profit from thele, and they are not per1uitted to do the goed in the herd Which tt ey would have done if kept for breeding purposes. However, there are large nulnbers of calves raised each year which should go to the veal route, and many of those which are killed while very young would be of no use if kept in the herd as breeders. Tile good dairyman has a basis upon which he works in selling or keeping ins calves as the case may be. He used first of all, a pure-bred sire with milking propensities well marked in the blood of his ancestors. He keeps in his herd nothing but the best in- dividual animals and the heaviest milkers and he weighs the milk from each cow or heifer regularly and sys- tematically, and, if necessary, has the milk tested for fat so he knows exactly 'what each of his cows is do- ing and whether or not the calves from titat cow are likely to go on and make valuable animals to place in his herd. If the cow, mother of the calf, cannot, through milk production, justify her existence in the herd there is little reason why- the calf from such a moth.. er should be kept past veal age, and it is far better than such a calf should go to the butcher early in life than to prove a bill of expense, in fact, a rob- ber, in the dairy herd. There is little use of keeping an in- ferior dairy calf to the age of two or three years, because it will gen- erally cost more especially when grain is high in price, as it is now, to put meat on this wedge-shaped dairy car- cass than it is worth. It would be folly then to keep all colves without dis- crimination. Only the best should survive for breeding purposes, and the only man who know which are the best is the,man who is using a proper sire of a heavy milkiug strain, and is weighing the milk reeulally from the cows to; which the sire is bred, and keeping the calves from those cows which lead in milk production and give enough to pay for all feed and labor and leave a handsome profit be- sides The point is to be able to pick out calves which ,should remain in the herd something trust be known about the producing ability of their dams, and this cannot be estimated by the ordinary guess -work method. Tee „scales and the tester should be made just as important in determining the future individuals which shall com- prise the herd as in determining which cow now milking shall remain in the herd. It is important also that no faulty individuals as to conformation and type be kept in the herd. It is not enough that the sire be from good milking ancestry and the cow be a heavy milker herself. They must have such confirmation and prepotency that the calves show the desirable type of the milking breeds. Faulty calves should be discarded, even though their r tricest. Y be right. This close selection will send thou- sands of calves to the block as veal which would'otherwise be kept in the herd at a loss It may be, after all, that there are not too may calves slaughtered young, but thet there is not enough system followed in deter- mining which shall go and which shall be kept. Undoubtedly, many are kept which should go, and equally true is it that .many go which -Should be kept. The matter is in the hands of the dairyman, and the sooner he makes all his selections on conforma- tion, and type backed by production will it be righted.—Prairie Farm and Home. PRUNING TREES. Prune annually but never heavily. 1)o not cut out large limbs. Frost bitten wounds are slow to heal. Never leave stubs in cuttting off limbs. Wounds ;real most rapidly in spring. Keep the trees free from suckers. Torn wounds are generally fatal. 'Summer pruning induces fruitful- ness. Heavy pruning is always followed. by a heavy growth of suckers. Winter pruning, when the tree is wholly dormant, increases the vigor of the tree. In transplanting cut back, top and root. Burn all the wood to prevent' spread of insects and disease,.

Corn, alfalfa, clover and grass — these four plants furnish 90 per cent, of the coarse food used by animals. Liming is assisting farmers to se- cure good catches of clover. Oats and barley, or oats, peas and barley, are excellent combinations for dairy forage. There are many cows in this Country capable of producing 400 pounds of butter in a year, but not one of them, so far as we have knowledge, came from a scrub sire. Itev. V. 13.

Competition is the life of trade, When it. isn't the death et it., Everything is good in its place, The bile, which, under certain condi- tions, causes so much distress, is of the greatest :value as an antiseptic and cathartic when it is properly handled by the liver, The chief function of the liver spends to be the filtering of bile from the blood, ,.here it acts as a poison, and pouring it into .the intestines, where it hastens the course of the food mass through the alimentary, canal, and by its antiseptic 'nfluenco prevents fermentation of the food. p � When you suffer from biliousness and indigestion and have a coated tongue, bitter taste in the mouth, headaches andnloss of appetite, you will do well to look to the condi.- tion of the liver. Other symptoms are wince on the stomach, which causes belching, and the formation of gas, which gives rise to dizziness and pains about the heart. Because the liver has failed, the food in the alimentary canal is fermenting instead of being digested, looseness and constipation of the bowels alternate, the whole diges- tive system is thrown out of order and the blood is poisoned. By immediately awakening the action of the liver and bowels, Dr. Chase's Kidney - Liver Pills affords relief for this condition nn.ost promptly. Oh this account they are generally recognized as the most effective cure for biliousness, liver complaint, indiges- tion, constipation, .and the pains and aches which arise from poisons in the blood.

Canadians, of whatever nationality, thrill as they recall the wonderful record made by the Princess Patri- cia's Canadian Light Infantry at. i ee- tubert, at Ypres, and many other battlefields in Belgium; how, in the face of overwhelming odds, they held their positions by their courage, steadienss and dogged perseverance. For nearly a year the P. P. 0, L. I. (as the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light lntantry is known in military circles) has been reinforced by a steady; flow of recruits of the very finest of our Canadian manhood. These recruits, many now veterans, are determined that this fine battal- ion shall not lose its high record, but with their help shall have added honor and prestige in the future. The reinforcements have been drawn front all over Canada, ani the universities of Canada have made this battalion their care. Al- ready 1,350 officers and seen have gone forward under the title of the Universities Companies, and are do- ing their "bit" at the front or at Shorncliffe. Five Universities Com- panies have left Canada. The number of men volunteering from the' West has been simply won- derful. So much so that the author- ities of the Western Canadian Uni- versities decided to send overseas a battalion composed of students of the Western Universities and members of the teaching staff. This battalion le now recruiting and is called the 196th Western Universities Battalion, C. 1i, F. The object of the Western Univer- sities Battalion and of the Universi- ties Companies is the same in that it provides a means for men to get to the front in congenial company, but though their paths are parallel, they are not identical in this respect, The Western Universities Battalion is for overseas •service as a battalion, and the Universities Companies are rein• forcing the Princess Patricide Cana- dian Light Infantry. The P P. C. L. 1. is now composed mainly of men from the Universities Companies, and the shady flow of reinforcements for this battalion roust not be allowed to stop, and fur- ther, the standard of the recruits must always be the "best that Can- ada can offer." There are- many men of the,Univer- sity type whose hearts grow warm as they read and hear the name of the Princess Pats, for they have broth- ers, relatives and friends in it, and they wish they could have an oppor- tunity of joining it. To these men the news,that acit 1 sixth company is being recruited, under Major Mglier- gow, at McGill University, in Mont-• real, -will be welcome. The sixth company is in comfort- able quarters at McGill University, and has all the advantages of the use .of the McGill Campus and the Uni- versity building, including the McGill Students' Union, The Universities Companies have been almost overwhelmed with the hospitality of the residents of Mont- real and its suburbs. The training of the companies has been of an exceptionally ..efficient character, and has been of a nature to develop specialists, some at mus- ketry, others at signalling, others at tactical exercises, and again others in physical training; bayonet fighting and bombing. The great advantage of these com- panies is that men of the same social status go forward together, and join a battalion in which they will find a large number of congenial spirits. Another advantage is the rapidity with which they goforward to the i front. The training n Montreal us- ually takes about three months, and after two months further training in England they take their place in the firing line without unnecessary delay. The reason for 'this is the :act that these .companies reinforce a battalion' already at the front. A considerable number of the men„ who have joined the Universities Companies have, upon reaching Eng- land, obtained commissions in the British and Canadian units. It is, of course, impossible to make any guar- antee as to promotion of -this charac- ter, but the nature of the training re- ceived and the reputation of the Uni- versities Companies make the chanc- es of promotion excellent for the type of men that the Universities Com- panies accept. Intending recruits are examined lo- cally by an army medical officer, re- ceive their transportation to Mont- real, and immediately obtain their uniform, and start their training, without delay. Readers are invited to make known to their friends this company, McGill ";University, Mont- real, will be glad to supply any fur- ther information that may be requir- ed, .Origin of the Clearing House. In 1775 the bankers of London rent- ed a house in Lombard street and fit. ted it with tables and desks for the use of their clerks as a place where bills, notes, drafts and other commie ciai`"'paper might be exchanged with- out the trouble of personal visits of employees to all the metropolitan banks, Transfer tickets were used, and by means of this simple plan transactions involving many millions were settled without a penny changing hands. The Bank of England and all other important banks in London 'are members of the Clearing House Asso- ciation. The first clearing house in the United States was established by the associated banks of New York in. 1853. ,♦ Bette' Than Spanking P g Spanking does not cure children of bed- wetting.

An interesting light is thrown, an the longevity of the trees tnat grotiv along the timber line of the Rocky Mountains by Mr. Enos A. Mills in his Rocky Mountain Wonderland." He says: ' A few timber line trees live a thou- sand years, but half that time is a ripe old age for most of the thnber line veterans. The age of these trees tan - not bo judged by their size or by their general appearance. There may be centuries of difference in the ages of two arm in arm trees of similar size, I examined two trees that were grow: ing within a few yards of each other in the shelter of a crag. One was fourteen feet high and sixteen inches In diameter and had 337 annual rings. The other was seven feet high and five inches in diameter, and had lived 492 years. One day by the sunny and sheltered side of a bowider I found a tiny seed bearer of an altitude of 11,800 feet. How Splendidly unconscious it was of its size and its utterly wild surround- ings! This brave pine bore a dainty cone, yet a drinking glass would have completely housed both the tree and its fruit WRITTEN BY QHYIDREN.

That fine soldierly Hymn, "Oft In Danger, Oft in Woe, Onward, Christ- ian, Onward Go," was actually writ- ten by a boy and girl who never saw each. other. The boy was poor Henry Kirke White, who die4 before he reached manhood, and the girl was 'Frances Fuller -Maitland.

Twenty years later the little Fran- oes, fourteen years old,. wrote the lines, beginning respectively, "Let 'your drooping hearts be glad," "Let not sorrow dim your eye," and "On- ward, thea to battle move," which made a firre hymn of what was really only a set of verses. Frances Ridley Havergai wrote one of her best known hymns when she was a girl of fifteen. In fact, it was the first thing of any importance she ever penned. This is the pathetic hymn, "Thy Life Was Given For Me." It was scribbled onethe back of a cir- cular in pencil and first read to an old, bedridden woman, who liked it so much that the little girl repented of her first intention to burn it, and her father wrote the well-known tune, Baca, to it.—London Tit -Bits. ♦.e Knew What He Was Doing. At the time of the great disaster in Martinique the Italian bark Orsolina was taking on a cargo of sugar there. Her captain was accustomed to volca- noes, and he did not like the appear- ance of Mont Pelee. Not half his cargo was on board, but he decided to sail for home. "The volcano is all right," argued the shippers. "Finish your loading." "I don't know anything about Mont Pelee," said the captain, "but if Veen- vius looked that way. I'd get out of Na- ples, and I'm going to get right out of here," The shippers threatened him with arrest. They sent customs officers to detain him, but the captain persisted in. leaving.

ENVIRONMENT Stronger Than Heredity in Its Influence On Life. A short time before the CIvil War a New York policeman took in charge a ten -year-old boy whom he had noticed loitering about the streets and sleeping on park benches. The little fellow was a typical waif of the slums, bearing the marks of neglect, ill usage, and a deplorable family history. In- vestigation showed that he had no home, his mother being dead, and his father, a degenerate ne'er-do-well, hav- ing deserted him, So far as the authorities could as - Certain, the boy himself, an undersized, shrewd -looking youngster, had not as yet developed any criminal or ser- iously vicious traits. But the facts of his pedigree seemed to tell heavily lit. .i his disfavor, forecasting the day When he would become in some sort an offender against societq, The im- mediate problem was how to dispose of him, and this was solved by turn- ing him over to a charitable organi- zation, . It so happened that about this time an Indiana: farmer and his wife de- termined to adopt a.boy. Chance—or Providence, as I prefer to put it -- brought together the farmer and an agent for the society that then had the deserted tensyear-old boy in its keep' ing. The upshot of their meeting was that John Brady found a home with Mr. and Mrs. John Green, of Tipton, Indiana. Great was the astonishment itt the Neighborhood when people learned what the Greens had done. Even the most optimistic agreed that they were "taking a big chance," while not a few gloomily predicted tnat they would rue the day when they had taken into their house a New York street urchin For ,making soap.

Put Mr. and Mrs. Green, refusing to be terrorized by the bogey of heredity, devoted themselves to the upbringing of the little Jelin. They gave him love and they gave him discipline; through the work of the farm and the power or good ex- ample they trained him to be useful, diligent, and efficient, and they sent him to the red school -house at the cross-roads to gain the elementary edueation he should have received while a child in New York. At nineteen he struck eta for him- self, beginning his life -work by teach- ing school. Three years later, having practised the most rigid self-denial to save the necessary funds, he re- turned east to become a student at Yale. Working his way through Yale, he then entered Union Theo- logical Seminary, from which he was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry at the age of thirty. Meantime he had set his heart on a project inspired by gratitude for the loving tare his foster -parents had lav- ished on him, He would establish in Texas a farm -colony for boys who, like himself, had been born and reared in the slums. It was a splendid scheme; but alas, he found that it required more capital that he could raise. Still Inspired with the ideal of helping others, he now took ship to Alaska, to begin ancone the native tribes a missionary enterprise that included social service of a high order, In 1897, Just twenty years after he had first gone to Sitka, his labors were sig. natty rewarded, when President Mc- Kinley appointed him Governor of Alaska, a post to which he was reap- pointed by President Roosevelt, and which he retained until five years ago, --Pictorial Review for May, q,• MOTHER AND BABY The fond mother always has the welfare of her little ones at heart.
