CHRISTMAS APPEAL TO TaE1E3 PEOPLE OF ONTARIO FOR Me Hospital for Sick G1111r'w c Dear Mr. S.dttor:— It would take more space than you can spare to tell of the good work done by the Hospital tor Sick Chil- dren, Toronto, for the sick and de- formed children of this' Province. Let me, in a few words, tell ;you of the steady growth of this Hospital. In the year 1875 there were only six cots and beds, one nurse, 441npatieutai and 67 out-patlentis, In 1912 there were 260 cots and beds, 64 nurses, 1,294 in -patients and 17,862 out- patients. ` During the 37 years of the Hos- pital's existence, 15,370 in -patients have been admitted, and 133,724 out- patients utpatients have been treated, a total of 163,094, or an average of 4,138 per Year. Of the 19,370 in -patients, 5,495 were from places outside of Toronto. 9,644 of 'the total in -patients were cured, and 5,711 were improved. This is a great record. Of the 1,294,1n -patients last year, 341 came from 218 places outside of Tor- onto, so that the Hospital Is not a local, but a Provincial Institution. Zn the Orthopedic Department in 37 years, nearly 700 boys and girls have been treated for clubfeet, and abort 600 were corrected. Half of these came from places outside of Toronto, so surely we have a fair claim for help from the people of this Province. The Corporation of Toronto grants $25,000, not only for the city children, but towards the maintenance of all patients ,in the Hospital; and the citi- zens of Toronto -donate an average of 315,000 annually to the funds of the Hospital. Will you, kind reader, think of what your money will do? It helps to re - 'store health and strength, and gives •soundlimbs and straight feet to •crippled boys and girls. Remember that .yourooket-boo P lr must be the -Hospital's friend, if the Hospital is, to be the children's friend. Remember that Christmas calls you to open the purse of your kindness to the hospital, so that the ,Hospital :may, open the heart of its help to the children. Remember that your money can help the Hospital build a bridge over which the _feet of little children may travel on the journey from sorrow to joy, from `"sickness to health --aye, from death to life. Please send a dollar; or more if you can spare it, to .Douglas Davidson. the Secretary -Treasurer of. the Hospital, or 7.• lions Robertson, Chairman of the ''Trustees, Toronto.-' Raising Calves. Several systems of raising calves are in vogue aamaong different: stock- men, The calves may be allowed to run with Ole cows a and seek at will. They may be confzned and al- lowed to suck two er three times Per day. Ixz this system QUO calf neay. be allowed to suck one or two cows, or two calves may' he allowed to suck the same eow, according to the flow of milk and sine of the calves. Calves ,may be , eonfmnod tied fed fresh whole milk from the pail. Again, they may be fed on fa°ash, sweet skim milk or sepa,ra tar milk or on sour: skimmilk, or even buttermilk or whey, On the western ranges and other localities where beef is the chief abject and where the milk is not deaired for other purposes, the calf is .allowed to run with its rete ther. Under range conditiane this, is the only possible econonzio way of raising calves. The aucking calf develops into a more promising yearling than the skim milk Dalt,' cspecisily it the latter is fed in as 'clew or irregular manner. With pro per care skim milk calves'. small potbellied yearling'%, tever aattie are raised on a scale and there is a good m.a,r r milk, it doea not pay to ret' voms suck the cows. Only calves which will bring fancy prices for breeding purposes care proftaablg be allowed to rue with the mothax,. Milk will bring a largor rioe aas butter than ordinary cams eau' make from it, The results of .numerous experi- ments in the United States and Canada are in substantial agree- ment with regard to the most eco- nomic method of raising. calves, They should be allowed to suck the cows for three or four days, They will thus get the colostrum or first' mirk and exercise a'<r favorable in- fluence in preventing inflammation of the udder. About the fourth day the. calves should be separated from the cows and fed on whole milk) by means of an artificial feeder, or taught to drink whole milk from a pail. As sooA as they have learned to drink the whole ,mill,: should be gradually replaced with warm sweet skis, milk so that the calves are receiv- ing nothing but sl.-itn milk at the end of four weeks. The skim milk should be fed sweet and warm (90 to 100 degrees P.). The change from whole milk to skimniilk should cover a, period of about two weeks. The skmmilk ration may begin at ten pounds per day and increase to fifteen pounds at four weeks of age, after which it may range from eighteen to •twenty-four pounds. It is 'best to teach calves to drink by using the Fingers as artificial feeders are not very satisfactory. Soouring.in calves is usually due to feeding .too much milk, or sour, cold or unclean milk. Careful at- tention should be given to those details. If scouring persists the calves may' be fed small quantities of wheat bran or rye bran or a lit- tle lime may be added. For their best development calves require milk for four or live months. Alter that time mirk may be omit- ted from the ration. Small quan- tibies of grain should be fed from the time the calves are two or three weeks old. Corn meal, kaffir corn meal, oatmeal and ground flaxseed or linseed meal are best for this -purpose. Calves may be taught to -eat by placing' a handful of dry meal in the mouth. Calves -which come in the fall are less subject to, scouring than spring and summer calves, and there are -many other 'excellent reasons why fall calving should be practiced. Concerning- Your Tongue. As a ,natter of fact there are only. Pour distinct tastes—sweet, bitter, salty and acid. " All the others are a mixture of the sensations.o f smell and touch. Ni -r are all parts of the tongue equally sensitive to all the tastes. For example, the tip of the tongue -.tastessweet things best, while the base of the tongue can best detect- the presence of bitter substances.` Salty material is most easily tasted at the side ,of - thel tongue.
