In the steel -clad war car which the British have launched against the Ger- mans' militarism gives birth to a new Monster. Gen. Haig terms it a "super - dreadnought of the land," and perhaps it is best visualized by conceiving of a rude battleship, such as the old Con- federate ram Merrimac cruising oyer a battlefield, smashing trees, crushing everything before it and belching forth death into the enemy trenches. Or again, it is a steel -ribbed armadillo. or a mammoth mechanical caterpillar, ac- cording to the bent of the imagination. Yet from any point of view it is a very devil wagon of war, well exemplifying the Chinese military principle of terrifying the enemy. No doubt the Germans in the trench- es when this devastating monster des- cended upon them may have felt as the Trojans felt when the wooden horse disgorged the mail -clad Greeks. Here was something worthy of Essen, an enemy war -device matching their own great guns and poisonous gas in novelty and deadliness. And in fact, in the matter of making a business of war, the allies appear to have fully caught up with their foe. The lessons of Prussian preparedness with war machinery have been learned and applied, and there is no longer the Old inequality of munitions and artilleey. in the creation of this deadly and grotesque fighting monster, British inventive genius must be said to have outdone even Krupp resourcefulness,— New York World. used Far Shaving Many men are troubled, more partic- ularly in the cold weather, with a sort of roughness of the skin or eczema caused by shaving.

A MOTHER'S WISDOM AND POWER Youth's Companion: Late one evens in et telephone the e ephane rang, and I was i►i- formed that a very dear friend was dying. .Hurrying to her home I found her already unconscious, The family bad gathered, and Were silently waiting theerid. How ley heart went to her fourteen -year-old daughter, to whose tide T instinctively went, add put my arms about her ae if to shield her—the World is so hard for a motherless child! Neither � bfusspoke. Nat a sound was beard in the room but the rapid breath- ing of her, whose spirit Was slipping MVO albite into eternity. Presently the child's arm stole round my waist, and so we Stood, our alms about each Other, 6nr eyed always on the face of the ono We loved. After a long time the Wild beating of the heart and the rapid breathing, Which seemed determined to keep life 1t the wasted body, halted a little. The girl at my side disengaged herself and 'softly left the room. She rettitted at once_rth rBible—herW w he mothers gift 'burning to the ninety-birst psalm, and taking her plate again under my shelter, ling arm, she whispered, t"lilatrtnla said. CO readthis." She began in a tont,: controlled voice, and X joined •her, and' 3rl unison we read the Palm through to the end as the life was going out. I shall never forget the scene. Knowing for a long time that the separation must come, the mother had prepared the daughter for the change without in the least exciting appre- hension. When other mothers died she said what she would like her girl to do and to feel if it had been her girl's mother who was taken; and so she gently and quietly led her up to the supreme moment without shock or terror or fear of the change. And so much had she made her Bible and her God a part of her daughter's very being, her guide in all the things of life, her refuge in every trouble, that she passed safely by the pitfalls of the years of youth to a womanhood of fine character and usefulness. The power of motherhood! that can project itself across the chasm of death and lead her lonely child in paths of righteousness and peace!

Oat, 0 0 It was a clear, bracing day town the lst of November, and from the hi which was crested by the old Laude dale Manson could be seen 'a sweep country touched by varying colors—th russet and crimson of oak and maps the green of undulating Melds and hit broken here and there by the gray o stone walls, the clear dashes of brook or stretches of open road. "Gad: What air!" cried Gratta Richards, tossing back his head an taking a long whiff. "And what a day for a hunt!" echoe Bex Tellingford, looking past Richer to where Emily Lauderdale was cha tering to a group of men in red coats checking in her horse as the hound struggled to be off, straining at thel leashes. "With every one in such goo fettle it ought to be a great old race! she laughed, tucking a strand of blu black hair beneath her riding hat. The eyes of Richards and Tellingfor met with an understanding gleam Each was cognizant of the other' thoughts—that whoever brought back the brush that day would vin a prize of far greater value. Both men knew that their future happiness depended largely on the morning's run, for Em ily was a horsewoman from the tip 01 her riding boot to the ends of her Liras gauutleted fingers. She set immeas urable store by cross country rides, daring leaps and hairbreadth escapes. To say a man could not keep his sad, dee was equal to Emily's mind with saying he could not keep hes head. "Though 1 think there are virtues equally as great as cross country t'idf Ing," smiled gentle Elizabeth Lauder dale, whose love of outdoor excitement was neither so deep rooted nor of sucb long inheritance as Emily's, Emily shook her head. "Dear Aunt Elsie," she answered, "you don't in the least understand, and I'm sure I could never explain. It's bred in my bone, that's all. If I had lived in the olden days I should have had a tournament—rushing of horses, clashing of spears, splintering of art mor! That's what 1 call a wooing! No were ambling up to demand your heart and handl And, as I God it hard to decide between Grattan Richards and Rex Tellingford, why, fair Gehl and fair play, and let the best man wen." Something of this headstrong resolu- tion stirred in the girl as she turned suddenly in her saddle and glanced at the two men. Assured triumph glowed on the face of Richards. Stern deter- mination was written 00 '1•ellina'ol'd's. She gave '0 little nod of satisfaction. They were well matched, these two. The other members of the Lauder- dale house party were not unaware of the drama that was being played be- fore their eyes, nth] it added to the zest of the morning as the signal waS giv- en, the dogs unleashed and the caval- cade swept gayly down the hill. "Look at that girl:" gasped Mrs. Royce Thompson, a novice who pound- ed in her saddle. "She's actually" -- But the rest of the words were lost, for Emily was already in the distance, galloping at breakneck speeds, while at her heels followed Richards and Tel- lingford. The rest of the hunt stream- ed after them. Luck seemed to favor Richards. His mare's feet scarcely touched the earth. Site took fences and furrows like a winged creature. Tellingford was not so fortunate. At the brink of a stream he was forced to pause and fasten his saddle girth. Partly from excitement and partly from annoyance he fumbled with it longer than he had intended, and when he raised his head the others were al- ready far afield, Emily Lauderdale and Richards still in the lead.* The hounds bad scented their quarry and were in full cry. Tellingford considered. There was a crosscut that he had tried once before. It laythrough ditches and brambles and was intersected by five bar fences. Still anything at a pinch, and he would back Fleetfoot against every mare in the county. Ile congratulated himself ' on this decision some moments later as Fleetfoot went for\vard' at a pace that justified her name. Her course now lay across wide meadows filled with lush gross and starred here and there bypurple p pie asters and skirted by low stone walls, in whose crumbling Chinks vines twisted and across whose loose stones squirrels skipped and chattered.

That he had not eared to win was evident, but that he should add to that humiliation with excuses was more than she could bear. She was glad, she told herself, that it was Grat- tan Richards who had come Ca tri- umphant. Yet in spite of this gladness there was a stinging mist to her eyes , and a bitter catch In her throat as she sat before her dressing table that night while Katie, the maid, brushed her hair, Everything bad gone wrong that day, In big things as well as In little. Even the gown she had planned to wear that evening had been left unfinished, and she was forced. to reprimand Katie somewhat sharply, • Katie burst into tears. She had meant to finish it, she confessed, but that morning the child of her sister, who lived ore the rolad to the village,, slipped ou the muddy stones of a ditch and broke Ills arm, and Katie, instead of sewing on the gown, had gone to see how be fared. "You can ask Mr. Tellingford if it's not so, ma'am," she concluded tearful- ly. "'Twos he that found Bobby and carried him home and went for the doe-, tor afterward." Of the truth of this assertion Miss Lauderdale questioned nothing. "Do you know where Mr. Telling ford is now?" she demanded. "Indeed I do, ma'am. He's bidden your aunt goodbye and Is halfway to the station." "Then tell James to saddle Dolly, Dumpling instantly and bring her to the side door." Katie gasped and obeyed, while Htni ily Lauderdale, throwing a scarf about her shoulders, ran down the stairs to the driveway, her silken dinner gown swishing at every step. Tellingford meantime rode toward. the station, his lips set in a thin hard line. He found himself mentally re- peating his morning's advice to Bobby, "Men never cry at a scratch," when behind him came the flying gallop of hoofs. Tellingford was blank with amazement at the vision of Emily Lauderdale, hatless and coatless and in evening dress, tearing down the road. Straight alongside the cart she came and held out her band. "If you can forgive and forget," she panted, "and if you still eare"-- "Care!" cried Tellingford, jerking oft his overcoat and wrapping it about her after she had impetuously slipped from her horse and clambered into the cart. "All I can say is, 'Heaven bless Bob- by !' " And the flaxen haired young person in a suit of white satin was page at a wedding In the spring. Hard to Determine.

It is of prime importance to your business that the person answering your telephone be pleasant -voiced, polite, intelligent. A curt, snappy answer results in loss iof trade. It is important, too, that your telephone be answered by an employee who is thoroughly posted on the details of your business. It is annoying to call and be answered by someone who will let you tell him everything you have to, say and then inform you that you will have to tell the whole story to someone else. We suggest that you give this matter of incoming telephone calls your careful attention. Many merchants insist on their most experienced employees answering the telephone, The Bell Telephone Co. OF CANADA. NO T HoW MANY, BUT HOW GOOD On some farms the boast is made that fodder is grown to feed a certain number of cows and heifers the year round. Numbers may convey an idea of the owner's wealth in case of beef animals, but when it comes to dairy cows it is no criterion of the yearly returns nor of the cash value of the animals. To -day, the question is how much milk does the cow produce and what is the test? There are herds that have made remarkable records, while others have boarded on some other de- partment of the farm. However, in the poorest herd there is likely to be one or more cows that are capable of making a substantial profit for their owners, if properly fed and cared for. In the testing work individuals of all dairy breeds set a pace that is hard to follow. It is too much to expect a whole herd to conle anyway near some of the records made, but it is possible to bring them to one-half the amount. Ten cows giving 9,000 pounds of milk worth $1.25 per hundredweight will be a gross return of $1,125 or $112.50 per cow. A cow can be well fed for half this amount, leaving $56.25 to pay for labor and overhead expense. At these figures a fair price is allowed for feed and there is a good profit made. On the other band there are herds of 20 cows which do not average over 5,000 pounds of milk in a lactation period. At $1.25 per hundredweight this would give a gross return of $1,250 or $52.50 per cow. It is doubtful if a cow can be kept in reasonably good condition under $45 a year, leaving $17.50 to cover over- head expenses and labor. In other words, the herd of 20 cows giyes their owner only $25 more cash than the herd of 10 cows gives their owner. There is a reduction of $11.25 in cost of feed per cow. The overhead ex- penses are the same and the labor bill is the same. Keeping the large herd of average milkers forces the owner to do double the amount of work required with the selected herd, for the paltry sum of $21 To which class does my herd belong is the question every dairy- man should ask himself this fall. It is quite possible to have a herd average 9,000 pounds of milk, but 5,000 pounds per cow is above the average for the province. This fall help is scarce and feed is expensive. Although bay was a good crop and the corn is making progress the spring erops in general appear to be below the average. On many farms the rations of roughage and coarse grains will have to be small or the herd reduced. It must be remembered that a certain portion of the feed must go to sustain the animal body whether the cow is or is not producing. Over this amount is free to be turned into milk if the machinery is of the right -calibre. It appears that it will be more profitable to weed out the cows that are not payingtheir way and feed the remainder of the herd a little heavier. An extra fete pounds of coin centrates daily often pays big profits.. Money spent in mill -feed and nitro, genous feeds to balance the ration is generally Money well' invested. The roughages should always be' borne grown. If feed is scarce weed out the end lessen the la wa bor. poor co Otte cow properly bred and Well fed is worth wb cows of promiscatma breeding and ed en little Mere than a maintenance ration. Why do two hours' work when elntest the same returns tan be secured from etre? The quality of tow* its the herd counts for Mere than the numbers.
