Agriculture, Toronto,)
T is one of the anomalies of life
that the sources of our greatest
pleasures and greatest means of
good, may also be sources of
life's greatest pains and most harm.
Milk is a case in point. Milk is the
best source of life's greate§t need—
proper and sufficient food. It may
also be a cause of the destruction
of life, because it may become tee
home or feeding ground of those
death -dealing organisms which are
now recognized as the cause of prao-
tically all deaths, except those due
to accident or old age,
Fortunately we have discovered
comparatively simple methods of
combating the effects of what are
called pathogenic (disease -produc-
ing) bacteria. These may be stated
in a few short rules as follows:
1. Milk which is consumed in a
raw condition must be drawn only
from cows which are healthy.
2. Assoon as the milk is drawn
from the cow, it should be cooled to
50 degrees or lower, and be kept at
that temperature until consumed.
3. All ;pails, strainers, dippers,
milk bottles, 'pitchers, etc., which
come in contact with the milk, must
be thoroughly' washed and preferably
steamed, or be rinsed after washing
in a chloride solution, which has been'
found to be one of the best germi-
cides.
4. Milk should not be exposed to;
the• •air any 'longer than absolutely 1
necessary, as this seeds the milk with
a fresh lot of germs. This means
the keeping of milk in a closed Tes-
sel and not in an open dish.
5. "Left over" milk from meals
should not be put into the general
supply, as this causes the whole lot
to spoil:
6. "Left over' milk; from,the sick
room should be pasteurized or de-
stroyed, as it may spread disease.
7. Milk at all times and in all
places • should be kept "clean" and
''cool,"—Prof. H. H. Dean, Ontario
-Agricultural College.
Roguing Potatoes.
The average yield of: potatoes per
acre in the Province of Ontario for
the .past thirty-six years has been
about 115 bushels. The yields vary
greatly. In 1917 there were vari-
ations in Ontario from twenty-five
or less up to seven hundred bushels
per acre. People are realizing more
and more that for high yields of po-
tatoes conditions must be favorable.
Jt -is important to have good fertile
soil well cultivated and to plant a
liberal supply of seed of the best
varieties at the proper time. Seed.
potatoes` somewhat immature which
have been ,produced in a cool cli-
mate, and which are comparatively
free from disease, are apt to furnish
seed of high quality. Even under
these conditions it is well to care-
fully inspect the seed before plant-
ing and to thoroughly rogue the
growing crop.
A potato field is rogued by remov-
ing the undesirable plants. A thor-
uogh roguing of the growing crop
once or twice during the summer is
one of- the most effectual ways in
ridding the field of a number of the
potato diseases. This operation would
also insure the immediate removal
of the weak and unthrifty plants
which are sure to produce undersiz
able seed. Potato growers sometimes
go through their fields and remove
allplants which are not true to type:
Thorough,roguing is one of the best
methods of securing pure, healthy
seed of high quality.—Dr. C. A. Zav-
itz, Ontario Agricultural College.
Exercise the Breeding Stock.
Exercise is essential for all male
breeding stock. At certain seasons
of the year it is an easy matter to
arrange for ample exercise for the
stallion, the hull, the boar, or the
rata. At' other times it is rather dif-
ficult , and frequently'' little or no
exercise is given, or if given too much
freedom "occasionally, harm to the
sire is .the -result.
The, bull should not be allowed to
,run looser in the "pasture with the
cows. _ In` the first placea.it°is a dan-
gerous custom, ,as it gives' abundant
, opportunity, for the .bull to, .attack a
, person unawares'` or' `Where •'escape is
difficult.•,: Further, a record of the
.,date of breeding of the cows cannot
be kept and no herd can be handled
to the best advantage without these
;`records:
'Tbe `1, main points to be observ-
ed in keeping a bull in good
condition so' as to retain his breed-
ing powers are to avoid excessive use
'when young and to give plenty of
exercise and a moderate ration when
mature. A good boxstalI, about. ten
'by:twelve feet, gives freedom in-
doors, and it is well to arrange for a
strong paddock outdoors with con-
venient passage between the two.
Two or more bulls of any age may
be kept together if they be dehorned,
and the advantage is that more exer-
cise will be taken.
The stallion on a route usually
gets plenty and sometimes too much
exercise. At other times moderate
work of the boxstall and paddock
will suffice.
The ram -running during the great-
er part of the year with ,,he main
flock gets plenty, of exercise, especial-
ly if the breeder is aiming for a crop
of Strong lambs, and gets 'the flock
outside practically every day during
"the winter.

Belo Pasha's attempt to purchase
control of a great French newspaper
to further German propagandawas
not the first international adventure
this one-time hairdresser and later
confidant of the deposed khedive of
Egypt planned. Twenty-six years
ago, says Captain Bourchardin, the
military prosecutor, Bole. returned
from Buenos Aires with his pockets
filled with 1,000 franc ($200) notes.
He went to a little town in the south
of France and took the most expen-
sive rooms in the best hotel and his
lavish' expenditures attracted general
attention.
• Bolo asserted that he had received
a grant of a large traet,'of land from
the United States Govei'nment, that
he intended to found alt empire of
which he would be the ruler, and
that he desired to take'with him as
colonists workmen of all trades,
farmers, wine growers and makers,
and manufacturers of casks to con-
tain the wines. Bolo soon had more
would-be colonists than he needed.
He announced' that they would em-
bark at Marseilles:' on the steamship`
Conqueror. He told them that he
had unlimited capital.
One morning Bolo disaiibeared and
he has never returned to the little
town.
Bolo turned up in Venezuela in
1905, but not as an emperor.
Senator -Charles Humbert, accused
of having had dealings ` with Bolo
Pasha, has left the Journal, of which
he had been the director. He ex-
plained, in announcing his -resigna-
tion, that he had been -deceived twice,
despite his utmost efforts to make
"every page and every line of his
paper testify" that he had been a
good servant of his country. His
resignation comes on the eve of
action to suspend Senator Humbert's
immunity so he may be tried for
complicity in relations with the
enemy.

So please help the Royal Air Force
by going out to pull FIax0
You may work in the fields right near your home
town. The local Flax Mill will take you to work
and bring y h4 me each day without cost to you.
In no branch of active service is heroic
sacrifice so `marked as among our aviators.
Their splendid spirit is well revealed in a
letter to his parents written by an aviator
five days before he made the : supreme
sacrifice. It says in part:
"If the news ever reaches you,
which sooner or later reaches
every flyer's parents—don't
mourn. ' We R. F. C. men never
think of death; the only thing we.
think of is the effect our passing
may have on our dear ones. So if
I go the usual way, don't let dear
mumsy cry, wear black, and all
that sort of nonsense. Dad, don't
you get all upset. Keep the show
going, smile and carry on . "
"Keep the show going, smile and carry on,"
that's the spirit. Many boys and girls are
WOMEN
and Men, you can earn $4.00 or
more a day pulling flax.
GIRLS
too young to enlist to "keep the show go
ing" but an opportunity is offering to be
of service now: the flax -growers want help,
and the Organization of Resources Com-
mittee are behind a movement to save the
fibre for making the cloth for aeroplane
wings, of which the allied armies are in
very urgent need. Boys and girls, young
men and women, andeven old men, may
enlist their servicesfor this work. For the
convenience of the workers, automobiles
will be provided to take them to the fields
and back. Six strong boys giving attention
to the work Should be capable of pulling
an acre of flax a day, and as the offered
wage is $15.00 an acre (which is the recog-
nized rate of the Flax -growers' Associa-
tion) this means an average of $2.50 a day
to the lads.
over 15, you can earn from $1.50
to $3.00 a day pulling flax.
BOYS
over 15, you can earn from $L50
to $3.00 a day pulling flax.
You can work for the Local Flax Mill, the address of which is given below.
Help Is planted t Once
forthese reasons:
Flax is used to make the wingscf aero-
planes. The grade of flax depends upon
its being pulled at the right time. If the
flax is over ripe its quality deteriorates.
