BUILDING UP THE HERDS. Zomrnunity It a Good Idea if Flan. riled Ri ght. From huneths or ohm experheeet etatIon. In communities where the herds are small min tbe individual dairyman does notefeel that he eon afford to pur- elmee a pure bred bull for his own use, It is a good plan for two or more men ; to own olio iii partnership. An entire community may own oue or more bulls and co-operate in their use. In sum eases it will be necessary for the com- munity, or at least the persons co- operating, to select and advanee the luterests of one breed -that is, bulls of one breed should be 'used, whether on grade or pure bred cows. This plan would make It possible to siert the bulls from one herd to an - COMMUNITY MAY OWN ONOBAIME DULLS. other without the bad effects of breed- ing, the offspring of a bull of one breed to a bull of another breed, and the ne- cessity of disposing- of n valuable bull rather than use him ou his own pro- geny. Where more than one bull is used an association should be formed aud the business conducted by honest, compe- tent officers. Thie association could gover a large territory and handle a large number of bulls. In this way the grade cattle a a section can be im- proved rapidly without great cost to any oue individual. The association may be confined to pure breds or to grades or it nmy include both. Such organizations are being operated in. many states and are meeting the ex- pectations of their members, NEW VEGETABLE FROM JAPAN. Experiments With Udo Indicate Itis a Welcome Addition to the Table. [Prepared by the United States depart- ment of agriculture.] For persons who like novelty in their food and in their gardens an interest- ing field for experhnent is offered by the new Japanese vegetable, ado. Nurserymen have grown the tido under the name of Arena cordate for orna- mental purposes for twenty years or more, but as a vegetable it is still com- paratively unknown. On rich soil it grows to a height of ten feet or more, producing a very ornamental mass of large green leaves and, In the late summer, long, loose flower lusters, sometimes three feet in length. In ap- pearance it is much like a larger va- riety of the spikenard or petty morel, a native of our woodlands. The blanched shoots of the lido have a characteristic flavor. Properly pre- pared they are delicious, or so the au- thor of bulletin 84, just published bet the United States department of agri- culture under the title of "Experiments With Udo, the New Japanese Vege- table," has found them. The plant re- quires little care and with the same space devoted to it yields approxie mutely the same amount of food for the table as asparagus and is ready for use at about the same time in the spring. After the erst- frost it dies down each autumn to come up again in the spring, much as asparagus and rhu- barb do. A. patch of it can be forced each spring for at least six years and probably much longer. Udo growing is not yet sufficiently general In this country for the most inexpensive methods of cultivating to have been worked out, and conditions In America are so different from those In Japan that little benefit can be de- rived from the experience of oriental growers. It is, however, reasonable t� assume that the cultivation of the udo presents few difficulties. It is adapted to a Wide range of climate, as Is shown by* the fact that it grows all over Ja- pan, but no part of Japan suffers from drought. In this country the udo has done best in moist regions, in partiets- far in New England, the Atlantic states as far atm% as the Carolinas, in the rainy region. pf Puget sound and in the trucking SeCtiona Of California. Tit the cooking of tido there is atilt alyandent room for innovators. In all experittents, however, one thing must be remembered. When raw the stemti contain a resinous substance which gives them a decided and to many per. sons unpleasant taste of pine.

ER AY ATRIFLING amount, --what does it mean? Just this: That you, as representing the average Canadian citizen, can square off your account with our army of factory workers, by making sure that at least 55 cents worth of the things'you buy, in your ordinary every day shopping, aremade right here in Canada—the country that gives you your own living. That sum, 55 cents a day, equals $200 per year. There are 8,000,000 people in Can- ada. If for the suPport of every one of them, there was spent $200 a year on (.1a1.1adia1l made goods it would give us a factory output of $1,600,000,000. Back in 1910 11, Canada was enjoying pretty good times, but the total factory output then.was less than $1,200,000,000. You can easily bury the hard times of to- 11101TOW under the coppers you spen.d on odds and ends to -end to -day, just by using a little intelligent discrimination, by saying to the shopkeeper— "Nothing but' Made in Cana- da' for Mine." December 3 rd, 1914 II You Wish to Be Well You Must Keep the Bowels Regular. If the bowels do not move regularly they will, sooner or later, become cols- stipated, and constipation is produetive of more ill health then almost any other trouble. The sole cause.of constipation is an inactive liver, and unless the liver is kept active you. may rest assured that headaches, jaundice., heartbura, piles, floating specks before the eyes, a feeling as if you were going to faint, or catarrh oE the stomach will follow the wrong action of this, one of the most importent organs of the body. Keep the liver active and working Properly by the use of Milburn's Laxa- Liver Pills. Mrs, Elijah A. Ayer, Fawcett Ilill, N.B., writes: "I was troubled with constipation for many years, and about three years ago my husband wanted use to try Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills, as they had cured him. I got a vial and took them, and by the time I had takes' three veils I was cured. I always keep them on heerl, and when I need a mild laxative te'ce one."

TROUBLES OF HER OWN. A maid who had been employed in the Bener home for several years took unto herself a husband and went to a nearby town to live, One day about a month after the wedding she came to call on her former mistress, who said: "Well, Phoebe, I hope that you are happy in your new home. How is your husband?" To this the bride of a month made reply: "Well, I reckon I'm happy enough, but the chimney in the kitchen don't draw none too good, an' the water in the well is so blackish I ain't never, goin' to git used to it. As for my husband, ma'rri, its with him as it is with your man an' all the rest of 'em, if the Lord had 'eue to make over he could improve on some of 'ern. Aint eggs turrible high?"

Methods of Gai-ing For the Motherless Youngsters. In ease the mare dies or has no milk the foal may be raised on cow's milk if the attendant conducts the work pa- tiently and intelligently, writes A. S. Alexander of 'Wisconsin experiment station. Choose the Milk of a cow that has. recently calved, preferably one which gives milk low in butter fat, for mare's milk while rich in sugar is poor in fat. Sweeten the milk with molasses or sugar and Mint° with warm water. Give a little of this prepared milk at short intervals from a scalded nursingbottle and large- rubber nipple. Be careful to keep the bottle and nipple scrupulous- ly clean. Add an ounce of lime water to ectob pint of the prepared milk and allow half a cupful once an .hour at first.. Until the bowels move freely give rectal injections night and morning. If the foal scours at eny time give two to four tablespoonfuls of a mix- ture of sweet oil and pure castor oil shaken up in milk and stop feeding milk for two or three meals, allowing sweetened warm water and lime wa- ter instead. Let the foal lick oatmeal as soon as it will eat, and gradually increase the amount and add wheat bran. In five or six weeks some sweet skimmilk may be given and the amount gradually increased daily until in three months or so It may be given freely three times a day in piece of new milk. The foal et this age also will be eating freely of grass, grain and bran. PAPA MUST KEEP SWEET. Once more the cook stover must be moved, The carpet must be beat, And, though he gets bang full of dust, Yes, papa must keep sweet. The furniture must go upstairs, The carpet be tacked neat, And, though he hammer off a thumb, Yes, papa must keep sweet. The piano must be changed round, And, though it smash his feet, Why, papa mustn't say a word - Yes, papa must keep sweet. The house must be turned upside down, And not a bite to eat, And, though he is most starved to death, Yes, papa must keep sweet. But mother she may growl all day And sass the band to beat, But papa must an angel be Yes, papa must keep sweet. , • C. M. BARNITZ. Here in the heart of the wheat belt the feeling of the average farmer re- garding the future is strikingly shown in his attitude towards his banker, says a writer in Hutchinson, Kan., "Almost every farmer who comes to my counter is a speculator," remarked a leading banker. "They see great advances in wheat and corn and cattle' and hogs, and all want to borrow more money to extend their holdings in those things. They do not want to pay their debts yet, for they think they can make large profits. This speculative fever is becoming more marked, and is one of the things the bankers of the farming sections are trying to discour- age. It is of vastly rnore importance to us that there be a liquidation now than that there be a great store of grain and much stock held over until spring, even if there be higher prices at that time." TO Check a Cold. It is easy to deck a cold if you begin in time. Frequent domes of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine keep the cough loose, allay the inflammation and so prevent it spreading to the bronchial tubes and lungs. Mrs, S. M. Moore, Shortreed, B,C., writes: "I wish to state my gratitude for Dr, Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine, or it enred a cold whieh a friend said would soon put me in the grave." Deceptive.

The sentiment of the farmers is in- creased by the newspaper talk of the continuance of the war and of the pro- babilities of a general European short- age of foodstuffs. However, there are those who believe that any marvellous advancement itv the price level of pro- ducts is utlikely. Business men especi- ally are anxious that there be a prompt- er selling of grain now in the farmers' hands, Just now the bankers especi- ally are desirous of a gable poaition, and one that will give to the buainess interests their share of the profits from the farms without waiting for Several months for a settlement, says the Trade Bulletin.
