In city dairies cows are frequent.y discarded because they n e no longer t giving milk in payingin&quantities. The owner sells em and puts another fresh cow in their place. Thatwould not be on re discarding a sufficient as for d o g a cow in a farm dairy if a good producer, In the latter good cows should not be discarded as long as they are able to produce well, The following reasons, however, would justify the farmer dairyman in getting rid of them; If they failed to reach a good standard in production, if they were usually rest- less and irritable, if they were hard milkers, and if they failed to breed regularly. The standard of production each dairyman must set for himself, In no case should it be less than 6,000 pounds of milk a year. In many cases it may be more than that. To know what the cows are doing, of course records must be kept. The very fact of keeping such records will have a salutary in- fluence on the dairyman. It will cause him to reach out for higher attainments When cows are irritable and restless and give trouble more or less because of such peculiarities, these may furnish justification for discarding ding them. Of course, it may be wise to retain such cows for a time in the absence of others not more satiefaetory, but as soon as circumstances will justify it they should be dispensed with. Difficult milking may be caused by small teats, or by some pecularity in the milk ducts and glands, which make it not easy to get milk from them. The small teats are, to some extent, peculiarities of breeds, and, therefore, are the outcome of inheritance. They make milking more tedious than it would otherwise be, since it makes stripping necessary.When hen the struc- ture of the udder and teats is such that 1 for to is called considerable strength co get the milk, the work of milking becomes much more laborious. and calls for a much longer time to do the work-° It is a matter, therefore, of much practical moment that cows shall milk easily.

It tells us the time through our ears as well as through our eyes. It saves our steps. It signals, spurs us on, rouses us, speaks to us in the dark and from far away. It is •useful far beyond the usetu'ness of the silent clock. So with a business that advertises. A shop or store that sends out its message to us in the form of adver- tisements in our newspaper serves us far beyond the shop or store that is silent—that must be visited before its service or merchandise can be known. The shop or store that advertises saves our time and money, etc. Speaks to us at the right time, rouses us to attention, and stirs us to action. We buy more as the result of advertising, and we buy from advertisers. To the Merchants of Winghaun Put a striker—an attention -getter, an arouser, a stimulator—on your business.

THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, Boston, Mase. New subscriptions received at this office. A long time prior to the establish- ment of the Albert Veterinary College, the College at Edinburgh had been fulfilling its noble mission, and it was from that institution that veterianism in Canada received its early seed. It a the from there came t e late Dr. Andrew Smith, fifty-three founder years ago of the Ontario Veterinary r n ar Y Colla of College. That was the beginning g recognized veterinary instruction in this country. The first class was very small, only three young men having the spirit and intelligence at the time to recognize that the doctoring of animals l' was not a haphazard, but an applied and practical science. From that time the growth of that recognition has been of Canada gradual, but it is to the credit that it has been more insistent and vigorous than in older lands. Almost from the first the provincial govern- ment of Ontario displayed helpful interest and thus materially aided in the development of the struggling but inestimably useful and valuable insti- tution nn Temperance Street, Toronto, where the early foundations were laid and which grew in time to inhabit a building of size and importance. In Quebec, too, the advance in veterinary knowledge has been equally significant, but of later origin. When, however, some energetic, learned men did come to the front in 'the eighteen eighties progress speedily followed until to -day French Canadian students have at their disposal in connection with Laval Unii versity facilities on a par with those that their fellows of English extraction are privileged to possess in Ontario. In the time to come it is not difficult to believe that elementary education will receive much wider attention and occupy at least a minor place in rural schools.

Torrance, B.A. D.V.S.)is a comprehensive docu- ment u- ment and one worthy of extensive public reading. There is no branch of agriculture of more universal import- ance than the health of food -producing and utility animals. Dr. Terrance goes fully into the activities of his branch. "In some directions," he says, "such as the control of glanders and of mange, much progress has been made; the country has been protected against in- vasion by diseases foreign to it; addit- ional facts have been brought to light by the members of the branch engaged 1 S in scientific research, and there has been a marked advance in the division entrusted with the inspection of meat and canned foods,., On the other hand, the Veterinary Director General Contin- , „ to report I have a serious out- break of dourine to the Province of Al- berta and continued losses s from hog cholera." Regarding glanders' it was found necessaryto slaughter only 353horses 638 h in 1914 as compared with in 1913 In combating hog cholera 9,900 hogs cost slaughtered m 1914 at a o st 0 f $61,588.44 in compensation. The fig- ures in the latter instance present a formidable aspect, but, as Dr. Torrance remarks, "As the hog populatibn of Canada is approximately 8,000,000 the loss of even 10,000 is not high." He adds that the disease rarely breaks out a second time on premises where it has been extirpated, that the feeding of uncooked garbage to hogs continues to be in many cases the cause of the initial outbreak, and that the neg- lect of owners to notify the de- partment of the appearance of the dis- ease is chiefly responsible for its spread The last remarks applies to the initia- tory manifestation of all other infec- tious or contagious diseases of all. The war against tuberculosis continues with unremitting vigour. The research and experiments carried on at the different official laboratories is described, and statisical tables given of results, and of the inspection of an- imals imported and exported and of packing establishments and abattoirs. Import inspections from the United States and Newfoundland in the year ending March 31st, I914, totalled 29,726 horses, 1,641 mules, 14,747 cattle, 213,- 432 sheep, 374 swine, 822 goats, 22 asses, 8 elks, and 5 elephants. Some two dozen contirbutions from the chiefs of divisions stationed at dif- ferent points—inspectors, pathologists, biological experts and superintendents of quarantine stations—with a number of illustrations of animals variously in- fected, combine to make a most useful and widely interesting repoat, which can be had free on application to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Veterinary science, in common with other branches of education and in- struction, is rapidly advancing in recognition, exactness and usefulness. For many long years it was neglected and ignored, both in the new and old lands. Approaching the middle of the last century there came an awakening and in England royal patronage was, extended and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons was established, or rather came into exigence by con- solidation, for from 1761 there had ex- isted schools in which the health and mending of animals received attention. It was the consort of good Queen T Victoria, Prince Albert of Saxe Co- • Bourg Gotha, who of royalty first manifested an interest in veterinary science in the motherland, and render- • ed immense service in helping to re- move the seeming reproach and stigma 0 ! conveyed in the phase once often heard • "he is only a horse doctor." In the year mentioned, that is in 179r, the English veterinary college, still doing its good work, was established in Cam- den Town, London. In 1865 the Albert Veterinary College, named in memory of the late Prince who died torr years previously, was opened and then dame of it in a V shaped trough al night.

Fowls that have to work for what teed they get seldom become overfet. Grit and oyster shells in a hopper should always be kept before them. The grit is used to grind their fend, and the oyster shell furnishes the lime for the eggshells. Be sure and keep water be- fore them at all times.

This mixture will often prevent and cure these troubles. Allow the fowls free range whenever possible, except when snow is on the ground. Of the importance of veterinary science, of the health of live stock that contribute, in rivalry with the instant productions of the soil, to the welfare of humanity there can be no over -estimation. There is perhaps no greater vehicle for the conveyance of the disease germ under neglect than the domestic animal—the creature of one kind that we pet and of another that we devour. We caress and hug the dog and cat, we associate with and utilize the horse, and we eat cattle, sheep and swine. They all in their way, if understood and well—cared for, afford health and comfort. If neglect- ed, the life they yield and are intended to yield to mankind, they confer with equal ease upon pests that deal wide- spread destruction— that disseminate ills of a numerous, various and complex nature, and of an order that is more deadly and universal even than war. It is to cure, check or suppress this tremendous evil begotten of a blessing vastly beyond estimating that is the object and aim of veterinary science, that the governments of Canada, both federal and provincial, are bending their energies to combat. and that means much, perhaps more, to the well-being of the nation as any branch of sanitation, yes, and as any branch of production. In connection with this subject should be mentioned that under the recently adopted Agricultural Instruction Act there has been appropriated a sum of. twenty thousand dollars per annum for the advancement of the work of the colleges to which reference has been made, There are also in the report of the Commissioner of Agriculture re- cently issued by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, statistics show- ing the inerease of students that there has been, the number progressing annually, while the thoroughness of the instru^.tion given has been improved by OR.

This is due not only to unperfect methods of buttermaking and a too low temperature when the milk is skimmed, but also to feeding the cows with sugar beet tops. Lin- seed and cotton oil cakes also affect the consistency of the butter, so that when the defects are not due to the method employed it is advisable to substitute the above feeds, at least in part, with corn meal or cereals.

FEEDING THE FLOCK It takes a healthy, well-fed flock to produce eggs. Fowls must not be al- lowed to become too fat, as but few eggs will be laid by. hens in such con- dition. To prevent their getting over fat, it is best to make them work for most of their feed by scratching in the litter, of which their should be about 4 inches on the floor.

It Was Also Right to the Point, and the Jury Did the Rest. A Chicago lawyer tells of a prosecut- ing attorney in a circuit court of an if linois county some years ago whose early education had been defective, but who was so shrewd and "long headed" that few more dangerous antagonists could be found at the bar in that re- gion. At one time he had procured the in- dictment of a man for theft. The amount alleged to have been stolen was $5, and at that time the penalty for stealing $5 or more was imprison- ment at hard labor in the penitentiary. For stealing less than that amount the punishment was confinement in the county jail without labor. The evidence proved beyond dispute the theft of a five dollar note of the State Bank of Illinois, but the pris- oner's counsel brought several busi- ness men to swear that it was not worth its face value in gold, but all agreed that in ordinary transactions it would pass for $5. Over this testimony the prisoner's counsel quibbled for two hours while the prosecuting attorney listened in patience. When his turn came he arose and de- livered himself as follows: "Gentlemen, I hope the learned coun- sel won't get offended it I don't talk but just one minute. All I've got to say is this: The prisoner don't pretend to deny that he stole Our money, and all he asks of you Is just to give him the privilege of stealin' It at a dis- count!' Fie sat down, and the jury sent the thief to the penitentiary.—Case and Comment. Trading a Thief.
