Hospital for Sick Children
67 COLLEGE ST., TORONTO
Dear Mr. Editor:—
Your readers have probably had
their appetite for statistics satiated
daring the past few months- Still
they will, no doubt, want to know
something of the work accomplished
by the hospital to which they have
so generously contributed in the
past. They are shareholders in a
Mission of Mercy. Their dividends
are not paid in coin of the realm.
May I trespass upon your space to
outline what those' dividends are?
Firstly, the daily average of chil-
dren occupying cots in the Hospital
for Sick Children was 256. The
total cared for as in -patients was
6,397. That is equivalent to the
population of a good-sized Ontario
town.
And secondly, the out-patient de.
partment. This is a wing of offices
given over to consultation and minor
operations. On an average there
were 190 young callers a day.
That is where the dividends are
earned—in the difference made in
the lives of thousands of children
through the voluntary contributions
which render it possible to main-
tain an institution where pallid
cheeks become rosy and twisted
limbs are made straight.
If that were not dividend enough,
one might try to est.mate the
enormous salvage of child -life in
Ontario which has taken place since
"Sick Kids" doctors and "Sick Kids'
nurses have been going out through;
this province equipped with a
knowledge of children's disease",
which they could not get except in
some such highly specialized and
pre-eminently efficient institution
as the Hospital for Sick Children.
On this year's service the Hospi.
tal expended x^45,126 and finds
itself in the hole to the extent of
$134,284. What comes in around
Christmas -time keeps the HoGpital
going. So long as the word "Christ.
mas" retains its original significance
could any charity possibly enlist
more of the sympathy of your
readers or entitle itself to more of
their support?
Faithfully yours,
I. E. ROBERTSON,
Chairman Appeal Committee

Here and. There
Tourist business throughout Can-
ada has been remarkably produc-
tive this year and it is estimated
that its total value for the Do-
minion will exceed $100 /000,000.
This places thetourist traffic high
among Canada's industries.
The "Princess `Kathleen", one `of
the two fine steamers under con-
struction for the Canadian Pacific
Railway's British Columbia coastal
service, was launched at Glasgow,
Scotland, on September 27th. Lady
Mount Stephen, widow of Lord
Mount Stephen, former president of
the company, performed the launch-
ing ceremony.
As an indication of how plentiful
'wild game has become of recent
years in the Province of Quebec
comes a report from Montreal,
w iich records the recentappearance
of a full-grown bull moose in Rose-
mount, a suburb of the city. It is
thought to have strayed into the
neighborhood from the forest to the
north. The animal was quite tame
and was easily captured.
The Duke of Alba, who, with
other Spanish grandees, recently
completed an extensive tour of Can-
ada, purchased a number of very
valuable furs for gifts to be pre-
sented to his friends, including the
King and Queen of Spain. The furs
were acquired while the Duke was
sojourning at Banff, the popular
mountain resort on the Canadian Pa-
c;fic rnain lane.
So greatly has the turkey indus-
try grown in Saskatchewan that

ranged by the Saskatchewan De-

Inspectors will is e. furnished for

So heavy was the movement of
grain from the lakes to the port of
Montreal recently that serious con-
gestion was feared. The storage
capacity of the port is 10,100,000
bushels and the grain in sight was
greatly in excess of this figure.
But skilful handling quickly re-
duced the amount in hand to 7,956,-
442 bushels, relieving the situation
completely. No further possibility
of congestion is anticipated.
It is expected that before the
season closes, the work of rock -
ballasting the main lines of the
Canadian Pacific Railway in the
Quebec District between Montreal
and Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto
and Montreal and Quebec will be
completed. The latter section re-
quires only a few miles to be fin-
ished, while the other portions of
line referred to have already been
finished. As a result, the Canadian
Pacific will have in these lines a
road -bed which is not excelled by
any other on this continent.

Three Rivers, Quebec, Has New Station'
itizens of .Three Rivers, Quebec, regard the recent inauguration of the new Canadian Pacific Railway Station
V as markinga new epoch in the life of their city inasmuch as it affords proof of the status alreadyattained b
an industrial centre and of the greater prominence it is'expected to: occupyin the futre. The new
Trois-Rivieres as
station building is the most up-to-date and magnificent of its kind in eastern Canada. Of its construction cost, not
less than. $200,000 represents the amount of money -spent in Three Rivers. •
Some idea as to the way Three Rivers has developed may be gathered from a few remarks made by E. J. Hebert, first
assistant general passenger agent, Canadian Pacific, Railway, in proposing a toast at the banquet that marked the
official opening. "Until 1875 navigation was the only transportation facilityhe said. "Then the. Northern Railway
was built between Quebec, Three Rivers and Montreal, but it was not until 1905 that industries began to appear,

Agri c lture, Toronto.)
Detecting Milk Adulations.
The Chemistry department of the
Ontario Agricultural College during
the past year made a study of the
freezing point of milk by means of
the Hortvet Cryoscope, proving the
apparatus to be absolutely reliable
in detecting adulation of milk by add-
ing water. The Hortvet Cryoscope:
having a scientifically accurate con-
struction, now fills that much needed
requirement of an official test for
detecting added water in milk regard-
less of the breed of cows from which
the milk may be obtained.
Powdered Skinrmilk,
The comparative values of pow-
dered skimmilk and powdered butter-
milk were found to be about equal
in experiments carried on at the Col-
lege, The average total gains per pig
were 121.6 pounds for those fed on
the skimmilk powder and 122.8
pounds for those fed on buttermilk
powder. Although the feeding value
of these products is good, the market
price for hogs and the high cost of
the skimmilk and buttermilk powder
makes its use prohibitive as live stock
feed.
Mill"c In Breadmaking.
The Chemistry department has also
studied experimentally the effect of
'whole milk, skimmed milk, condensed
milk and milk powder in making
bread. The whole milk naturally had
some of the effects of fat, and the
sweetened, condensed milk some of
the effects of sugar, but, otherwise,
milk will not replace sugar, malt or
shortening in making bread. It has
an influence all its own which none
of these other constituents will pro-
duce. In conjunction with these oth-
er ingredients it does, however, in-
fluence the flavor of the bread, and
improve the color of the crust. In
fact it makes a richer loaf of bread,
with greater moisture -retaining and
higher food value properties.—Dept.
of Extension, O. A. College, Guelph.
Feeding Silage Before Milking.
There is always a tendency that
when green feed is given to cows
shortly before milking that it will im-
part to the milk some odor, and pos-
sibly taste. This does not always fol-
low, but it is not considered advis-
able to feed green fodder, silage, or
other strong smelling feeds just be-
fore milking. When cows are turn-
ed into pasture in the spring there
will be developed in their milk a par-
ticular odor that to some people is
quite disagreeable. Also cows.turned
on sweet clover, and particularly
those pastured on rape or green rye,
will impart to their milk a very
strong odor, and possibly a flavor, un-
less they are taken from such pasture
several hours before milking. Not
only does the cow seem to pass on
this undesirabl, odor through her
blood to her milk, but where strong
smelling silage is fed in the barn the
odor is likely to be absorbed by the
milk at the time of milking.' For
these reasons silage and. other similar
feeds are best fed after milking.
Who Is Kept?
We frequently hear dairymen say,
"I keep ten cows," or "I keep six
cows." All too often they are much
nearer the exact truth than they im-
agine. The statement should be re-
versed. Dairyman should ask them-
selves two questions, "How many
cows are keeping me at a profit?"
and "How many cows am I keeping
at a loss?" There is not enough fun,
amusement or excitement in caring
for dairy cattle to pay too high for
the privilege. The reason so many
"boarder" cows are in the tie-ups of
the barn is because few farmers
know which cows are profitable and
which are not. Milk scales, white
paper, Babcock test reports and the
gumption necessary to keep tabs on
production over a year's period are
just as essential to profitable dairy-
ing as pitchforks and milk pails.
Milk Matters.
Nine and one-half pounds of milk
are required to make one pound of
limburger cheese.
Milk will take up impurities with
more rapidity and hold on to them.
with greater tenacity than almost any
other food product.
It Is easier to keep ,milk clean by
keeping the dirt out of it than it is
to clean it after the dirt has con-
taminated it. A clean udder will go
far toward clean milk, and a few
seoonds spent in wiping • the udder
with a clean damp cloth will .pre-
vent much future trouble.
Encouraging a cow to give milk
with a; milking stool is 'expensive to
her owner. Exactly why ,a cow puts
four or five per cent. of fat ins her
milk is still an unsolved problem, but
the ease with which she will take the
fatout of her milk with but slight
provocation has been solved many
times.
A. Rhyme About Lime.
When in your garden soil of clay
you walk with patience day by day,
through twilight dusk or bright sun-
shine, to try 'to make the soil more
fine; when though you scratch and
hoe and thump, the soil will still pro-
ceed to '"lump," and bake as, hard
ase: any brick, and make your peas
and cabbage sick; my friend you
then mayeknow it's time to give that
soil a dose of lime. •

Figured in Historic Sod Turning
This antique looking wheelbarrow and spade do not appear capable of very
hefty service now, but nearly half a century ago they carried the weight
of a very important event — the ceremony marking the commencement of
the construction of the Canada Central Railway through Pembroke, Ontario.
Following the ceremony, the spade with which the first sod was turned and
the wheel -barrow into which it was shovelled in the presence of a very
enthusiastic crowd, were presented to Miss M. P. Moffat, daughter of the
Reeve of the village, the lady who performed the ceremony of the naming
of the road and christening it with a bottle of champagne. They recently
passed into the hands of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which company
took over the Canada Central lines in 1881, and will be added to a museum
of relics connected with the early days of the railroad which is being formed
in Montreal.
So much for the actual ceremony. The Pembroke "Observer" for
September 3rd 1875 says: "The assembly then adjourned to a spacious booth
that had been specially erected for the occasion, where champagne and beer
had been provided for the purpose of drinking several toasts which had been
previously agreed upon, by the committee; but a number of individuals,
apparently more intent on drinking champagne than doing honor to any
toasts, took possession of the tables, and the regular order of the programme ,
had to be abandoned. The Pembroke Brass Baud was present and performed
some Popular airs.'
Here and There
During the past season the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway used on all its
lines approximately 6,500,000 ties,
according to a report just issued.
The woods used include British
Columbia fir, hemlock, tamarac,
jack pine, spruce, maple and birch.
Tourist traffic in New Brunswick
during the past summer left nearly
$3,000,000 in the province, an
amount almost equal to the total
provincial revenue, according to an
estimate of the New Brunswick
Tourist Association. Approximately
70,000 tourists visited the province.
One thousand British Columbia

Silver production in Ontario for
1924 will not vary materially from
that of 1923, judging by figures
available for the first nine months
of the year from the reports of

some increases will be shown. Pro-
duction to date has amounted to
about $19,500 a day.

The. very first aerial stowaway
ever known was discovered recently
aboard a plane in the Laurentide
Air Service, Limited, operating on
its Rouyn gold fields service in asso-
dation'. with the Canadian Pacific
Railway. The serious effect of the
extra weight on the flying powers
of the machine was so 'noticeable
that it led to the man's discovery.
As he had hidden himself with a

Appointed Directori
Canadian Pacific
Boss Huntington McMaster
The recent election of Mr. Rosa
Huntington McMaster to be a direc-
tor of the Canadian Pacific, filling
the vacancy created on the board,
by the death of the late Lord
Shaughnessy, is a recognition on
the Company's part of his long -
proved ability. Mr. McMaster is
already vice-president and director
of the Steel Company of Canada
and director of the Northern Elec-
tric Company, as well as the Cana-
dian Explosives Company. Born
in Montreal in 1880, he has lived
practically all his life in that city.
He was educated at the Montreal
High School and Collegiate Insti-
tute. His business career began
with the Sherwin .Williams Co., of
which he became assistant to the
vice-president and general manager
in 1897, a post he held until 1903.
In the latter year he was made
assistant to the vice-president and
general manager of the Montreal
Rolling Mills Company. On the
formation of the Steel Company of
Canada he was appointed manager
at Montreal.
1924 Christmas Seals.
The National Sanitarium Associa-
tion is to be congratulated on the
handsome Christmas Seals now on
sale in aid of the Muskoka Hospital
for Consumptives. .
To meet a persistent demand for
a real Christmas Seal, not merely an
advertising sticker, quite a new de-
parture has been made. The seals,
beautifully colored and embossed,
ten designs, are put up assorted in
packets of different denominations.
The Hospital is in need of funds
to carry on its work. Why not buy
these seals in lieu of others? Not
only will you get good value in
return, but your money will .be
made to serve a . greater end, for it
will go to help someone in distress.
