It requires no great stretch of the imagination to bear her answer thus : "That tall, round building which my master calls silo, I consider the most important on the farm, "There is more solid feed packed in- side that round buliding without win- dows than it is possible to place in any other struetare on the farm. "With careful feeding, this feed will last me until grass comes next spring. "Next to grass, I prefer this silage to any other feed. I am very fond of it. It is as succulent as June pasture, It sharpers my appetite, and enables me to enjoy a bite of dry hay and fod- der all the more. "I am enjoying the best of health, and am sure it is due to my silage ra- tion, It makes my hair soft, glossy and silky. "Master has added up my last month's milk yield, and I heard him say he could not account for the in- creased amount unless it was from feeding silage. "I am glad that I am done picking the blades of stock fodder thrown on the, ground in all kinds qf weather. I can now stand in my stall in the barn and eat my mess of warm silage out of a, clean treugh."- New England Farm- er. FEEDING YOUNG CHILDREN. 4,•••••••••• T/F Young children are best fed simple foods as their digestive organs are not yet developed to take care of a great variety of foods. Plenty of mire cow's milk should form the principal article of diet, all starchy foods should be thoroughly cooked. Cereals are best cooked two or three hours and strained. Meat, with the exception of a very little thoroughly cooked, bacon should nQt be given at all and even the ham is somewhat superfluous. The juice of steak or roast beef may be used on baked potatoes or on well baked bread. Meat broths or strained soups maybe fed without injury. Vegetables should be well cooked, flavoured with salt and butter only, and put through a sieve. Never urge vegetables upon a child who has not yet developed an appetite or them. The ability to ,digest certain vegetables is often late in appearing. Fruit and vegetables contain mineral matter needed by the system and an appetite for these articles of diet should be encouraged. However, children differ in their ability to care for certain foods and by watching results a parent soon learns to know what is safe to feed each in. dividu,a1 child. As parents of large families know, there can be no hard and fast rule. A child two or three years old should have five regular meals a {lay -regular meals -that is at the same time each day and then should not lunch indis- criminately between meals or while at play. ••••••••••••••••.( 4.04.0.0•40.0000•44004.004. e.0.00.00.0.40... eeteriefeetee0004ea At .4 9 iTh O e Times ‹.. • a 4 • • • • • Clubbing List! • . . . . . ............. . • . . 4 4 .0 • 1,90 • o Times and Daily Globe 3.75 • 0 • Times and Saturday Globe o • Times and Daily World 3.10 it O 0 • OOO a f 0 • Times and Family Herald and Weekly Star1.85 * * 4 • Times and Toronto Weekly Sun 1,85 s s • Times and Toronto Daily Star. ... ... 2.80 * s . • .. • 4' Times and Toronto Daily News. .. 2.80 • * Times and Daily Mail and Empire. 13,3660 : • • • * Times and Weekly Mail and Empire 0 • e Times and Farmers' Advocate 2.35 o O t 4. * Times and Canadian Farm (weekly) 1,60 o .0 * Times and Farm and Dairy 1.80 o IL * 4.

There has been called to his long home one of the pioneers of the Town. ship of IVIorris, in the person of James Pollock, who passed to Higher Life, Nov. 28th, 1914, at the ripe age of 01 years and 2 months, being the oldest man in the township. He was born in County Tyrone, Ire- land, 1823, and came to Canada in 1847 and settled in Halton County for a few years where he married Arne Creighton of Milton, formerly frorn Tyrone Co., Ireland, who preceded him 14 years ago, He came to the Township of Morris, Huron County, and settled on the farm where has ever since resided, To use his own words, "It was nothing but sop bush," At that time travelling was done on foot. He travelled three days to meet his destination. Three months later, his wife, in company with Robert McGowan, Sr., and son, Walter, and wife followed him with their ox team. They, for years cele- brated their wedding tour as they called it, on the 15th of February, 1854. All the others have answered the Roll Call some years except Walter who passed out about two years ago. Accornodation then was something out of the question. I might give a little of his oft talked experience as a pioneer of the forest. He started out with what provision he thought would be necessary for the trip, but it run out on the eve of the second day and he had nothing until the eve of the third day when he came to a shanty then occupied by Sir. McKellar, Sr. That place now is where Mr. Andrew Sloan now resides. He went in and asked if he could get something to eat. Mrs. McKellar asked him if he could eat potatoes, he said "Yes, if they are boiled " He afterwards boarded there until he built his shanty and wife came. She said she could see nothing but the bush around her and the sky above. They were both blessed with good health. He had his axe, eleven barrow pins and a few other necessaries, and she had quite a few necessaries for housekeeping. The first grain he grew he had no granary nor place to putt to keep it from the bears, so he scooped out a tree filled it from the top then covered L. up, when he wanted some he bored a hole near the bottom and let it run out. They then did.not have rural mail delivery and it cost something to get a letter. The post office was then at the home of Rev. J. B. Taylor, 9th con., then known as Orchill Post Office. It cost 25 cents to mail a letter to the Old Country. He helped to draw the first logs to build the first building in Blyth. The first minister's name was Rey. Anderson. In those days there was ho sickness nor deaths. He used to say, "They would have to kill some- one to start a burying ground." People then were the happy children of the forest. He did not say but people in those days were happy, took their ox team and visit for a whole day. He could relate incidents of the early days with pleasure. He was exceptionally bright, mentally, his senses were per- fect, talked to the last perfectly con- scious. He was a man who wished everybody well and was very hospitable and social. He leaves one son, William, and three daughters to mourn his earthly absence, Margaret, at home; Mrs. S. J. Smith, Petoskey, Mich.; and Mrs. Mary Wren, of Haldmand County; and two grand- sons, A. Ernest Smith, at home; and Wm. J, Smith, of the Bank of Hamil- ton staff, Blyth. His spirit peacefully took its flight to join the friends who had gone before. He was perfectly happy to go and never uttered a murmur in any way. What is, is best and the will of the Divine Power he was ready to obey, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO RIA In addition to the 33,000 men in the first contingent, 23,000 mobilized for the second, and 8,000 on guard and out- post duty in Canada, it is proposed to raise 33,700 more, bringing Canada's total forces up to 95,700 men.

WINTER TOURIST TRIPS TO SOUTHERN STATES are becoming more popular every year, largely owing to the increased trans- portation facilities and modern luxuri- ohs equipment, making the journey to Oalifornia, Florida and other resorts a pleasure instead of a hardship. With one change of cars, ycu ban travel from almost any poiht on the main line of the Grand Trunk Railway to your des- tination in the Sunny South, where the flowers bloom and warm balmy breezes blow. Meals served in dining cars make it unnecessary to leave the train en route. Ttavel is an edircation, and it is delightful to get away from the every day grind, the monotonous or strennous life to mingle with success- ful happy people and, 1 esides, it pays. Round trip tickets are issued by the Grand Trunk Railway at exceptionally low fares, giving choice of all the best routes, via Chicago, Detroit or Buffalo, Fast trains are run daily font Hamil- ton, carrying electric -lighted Pullman sleeping cars, dining and parlor -library cars and modern first-class coaches• making connections with through trains for the south, etc. Before deciding on your trip, call at the Times office and get full particulars from H. 13.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE In view of the recent serious out. break of Foot and Mouth Disesse in the United States, with its subsequent serious losses and necessity'for string- ent measures, Canadian stock owners should acquaint themselves with the particulars of this disease. A seven page pamphlet, prepared by Dr. S. G. Rutherford, formerly Veterinery Direc- tor General for Canada, outlines the symptoms and appearances of the dis- ease with its treatment and preventive measures. In view of the fact that it is one of the most infectious diseases I known, attacking nearly all species of I farm animals, and that the many dif- I ferent ways in which its germs can be conveyed from place to place render it very difficult to prevent its spread once it has made its appearante in a cemmunity. In - this pamphlet a number of such measures have been outlined by Dr. Rutherford, a know- ledge of which should prove of greet value should the disease make its ap- pearanee in Canada. Copies of this pamphlet Which is No. 9 of the Health of Animals Branch of the Derniniell Departtneht Aviculture, can he ob- tained by making applieation to the Publications Dranch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. • • - HOGS ON PASTURE WHAT SUCCESS 15 MAKE BIG PROFITS Though you may be able to ciraNst your eheque for millions, if you are not master of yourself, you are not success- ful.

FL Lancelot in the Orange Judd Farmer. Ameng them is M. D. Crow of Audu- bon county, In,, Who has accomplished it two years in succession. His experl- ence is as follows:. Just before he laid by his core in June, .3e12, he sowed Dwarf Essex rape broadeast in ten acres of it, using five pounds of seed per acre. The culti- vator covered it, and about six weeks later 170 spring pigs were turned into this ten acre field. They remained there et • " -411,Pokigeittoa, The Tamworth Is a bacon hog and ranks high in this respect. Ire is an extremely rugged hog and rivals In size the large Yorkshire. The Tamworth is probably the most pro- lific a all breeds of swine, He is leaned to be restless, but is usual- ly gentle In disposition, and the sows are fine mothers. Tarnworths are great rustlers, and this babit no doubt account in large degree for their superior bacon qualities. They produce a carcass containing a large percentage of lean meat of tine grain and have been Timed to (gess Satisfactorily with the fat breeds of hogs. Intll curly winter, when the corn had been cleaned up and the rape killed clown by freezing, During this time thee received little attention other than light feeding, since they had access to running water. As Mr. Crow puts it, "I hardly knew 1 bad any bogs around." When whiter came, however, he found that lie had around a numerous hunch of thrifty, half grown hogs with nearly ynappensable appetites and a surprising capacity for further growth. Ile fed them corn, mill feed and tankage until Meech, when they were sold at $7.50 per '100 pounds, bringing $2,040.75, Up to the time they were sold, these hogs had consumed 2,100 bushels of corn, valued at 40 cents per bushel, or $864; also will feed and tankage test- ing $30.50. Thus their total feed bill, aside from the pasture, was $044.50. leaving a profit of $1,090.20. As Mr. CrOW figures it this $1,090.20 represents the 'returns from the ten nere Geld of rape nufl corn, since full allowance bus been made for all other feeds: heuee he renlized $109.02 per acre from this field, whereas from the remainder of his corn land, which bore a straight crop or forty-flve bushels per acre, worth 40 cents per bushel, he actually realized a return per acre of only $13. SOME SILO ADVANTAGES. Modern Farmers Agree as to the Bene- fits of Silage as a Feed. The silo has proved itself to be high- ly profitable in many ways over differ- eut sections of the country. Its means for increasing the supply of feed for the stock has been fully tested, writes an Illinois farmer in the lova Home - stout Silage is not only n benefit to the dairy fernier, hut the general fnruier as well, for all stock will eat some well kept silage, and it is much relished by them. A. silo should by all means he erect- ed on all farms where live stock is to be kept. The silo not only saves all the crop for feeding purposes, but saves much labor in feeding. ,One should never think of keeping a dairy herd throngh the winter without silage as a part of their ration. When cows are properly cared for in winter, more profit may be derived from them than during the surniner months, as the prices for cream and butter are always better, besides the inilk being easier to handle and keep fresh. When cows are fed a goodly supply of well kept silage in connectiou with their other feed it is almost equal to the pas- turage in summer, giving the butter a rich color and good flavor. Some do net build silos owing to the • cost. It is true the flied cost seems great, but the money and iab5r saved In Utilizing every stalk of corn will pay for the cost of the silo in a few years. Farmers sere 'Waking up to the fact that they need a silo In their basiness and can't afford to lot the cost hold them off from so profitable an invest- ment. Keep Plies Out of the Barn.

LrEoTnToCNOTNIP0 oAritTT,YLI14,1,Tf! I Will You Help The Hospital for Sick Children, the Great Provincial Charity ? -4.- Dear Mr, Editor: - Thanks for the privilege of appeal- ing through your columns on behalf or the Hospital for Sick Children. The Hospital takes care of sick and de- formed children, not only in Toronto, but in the Province, outside of the city. This coming year, of allethe years In the Hospital's history, has a more serious outlook, as regards funds for maintenance, than any year that has passed its calendar. So many calls are being made on the purses of the generous people of To - route and Ontario, to help the soldiers of the Empire, that as I make ray daily rounds through the wards of the Hospital, and see the suffering chil- dren in our cots and beds, the thought strikes me as to whether the people will as of old, with all the demands made upon them, answer our appeal and help to maintain the institution that is fighting in the never-ending battle with disease arid death, in its endeavor to save the stricken little ones in the child-Iife of Ontario, Last year there were 394 in -patients from 210 places outside of Toronto, and in the past twenty years there have been 7,000 from places in the Province other than Toronto. It coats us $2.34 per patient per day for maintenance. The municipalities pay for patientae $1 per patient per day; the Government allows 20 cents per patient per day; so, deducting $1.20 from $2.34, it leaves the Hospital with $1.14 to pay out of subscrIptiong it receives from the people of Toronto and the Province. The shortage last year ran to $18,00a. Since 1880 about 1,000 cases of club feet, bow legs and knock kneee have been treated, and of these 900 had perfect correction. Nearly all these were from different parts of the Pro, vice outside of the city of Toronto. Remember that every year is a war year with the Hospital; every day is a day of battle; every rainute the Hospital needs money, not for its own sake, but for the children's sake. The Hospital is the battle -ground witere the Armies of Life have grapplecreilth the nests of Death, and the life or death of thousands of little children Is the issue that is settled in that war. Will you let the Hospital be driven from the field of its battle to save file live% of little children for the lack cat money you can give and never miss? Every dollar may prove itself a dreadnought in the /battle against death, a flagshipin the fleet that fights for the lives of little ehildren. Remember that the door of the Hos- pital's mercy is the door of hope, and your dollar, kind reader, may be the key that opens the door fol.' some- body's child: Will you send a dollar, or more If you oan, to Douglas Davidson, Secre• tary-Treaeurer, or 3.
