ONTARIO THE THIRD YEAR OF THE WAR calls for the organized co-opera- tion of every citizen of the Province of Ontario,. ALL must help to hasten the day of final triumph. Por the sake of those who have made the Great Sacrifice, and of those now overseas or in training, every citizen must give the best service possible. No one need feel "out of it" when the great day of Victory comes, but everyone must qualify now by sharing in the sacrifices which the War demands. Suggestions for Organization Irx many Municipalities there are already active patriotic organizations, such as Recruiting, Red Cross, Soldiers' Aid and Patriotic Fund Com- mittees. In such cases, one of these, or, better still, a joint committee of these and the citizens generally, might undertake to co-operate with tho Central Committee at Toronto. Where there is no active representative organization, it is suggested that one be formed at the earliest moment. It should be non- partisan (in the broadest sense), and represent every interest affected by war conditions. • What Organizations Should Do 1. Findmore men for Overseas service. 2. Help in keeping our munitions plants working to full capacity. 3. Induce every possible worker, men and women, to serve ora ,the farm and in other essential industries. 4. Find money for the corning WAR LOAN and war funds. 5. hi short, assist in the organization of Ontario's resources to meet war conditions and after -war conditions. THRIFT and ECONOMY, and a careful consideration and preparation for our problems are essential if we would meet the present and future needs. For further suggestions and information you are cordially requested to write at once to ALBERT H. ABBOTT, Ph.D., Sectetary, Organization of Resources Committee, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. LIEUTENANT -GOVERNOR OF ONTARIO Chairman of the Organization of Resources Committee 011111iNCIIMIPIMOIM.. Breeding Cattalos. A recent issue of the Agricultural Gazette contains an interesting ar- ticle on the cattalo herd which the Doininion Department of Agriculture has recently purchased for experi- mental purposes. The cattalos, which is practically unknown to us, has been Produced by 'crossing the buffalo with domestic cattle, the ob- ject being to produce a strain of beef - producing animals particularly suit- ed to the more northern and rugged regions of Canada. The herd which has been pur- chased is that of the late Blossom Boyd of Bobcaygeon, Ont. Mr. Boyd started this cross in 1894 and con- tinued the work until the time of his death, some two years agq. At the outset he used cows of various breeds but after some years ex- perimenting he limited his crosses to ,those of the Herefords and Aber- deen -Angus. The herd, therefore, which the Government has purchased possesses the thick form of these beef breeds and a modification of the hump and depth of rib peculiar to the buffalo. The herd as purchased consists of twenty head, made up of sixteen females and four males. They range in age from one to nine years and posiess from twenty-flve to seventy- five per cent, buffalo blood. They weigb from five hundred to two thou- sand pounds, and are all regular breeders, so far as tbey have been tried, and possess every indication of vigor. "It has long been recognized," says the Gazette, "that the buffalo possesses qualities -which would be of value if transmitted to beef -pro- ducing animals, more particularly for ranging purposes for cold -ridden dis- tricts. From the experiments of Mr. Boyd and others it appears that the excellent rustling qualities of the buffalo are retained in the cattalo. During blizzard conditions the cat- talos like the buffalo faces the storm rather than drifts before it as is the tendency of domestic cattle." A Market at His Door. Farm and Dairy mentions the case of an Ontario farmer, living near a city, who has a bulletin board at his gate on which he daily puts his prices for eggs, butter, fruit, vegetables, etc. In giving his reasons for doing this the farmer said: "There are hundreds of people in our cities who now own automobiles. They take a pleasure trip out into the country two or three times a week in sum- mer and I find that they are glad to buy fresh produce, espetially when then can get it a trifle cheaper than from the grocer in town. I find, too, that I can afford to sell for a little less than the city grocer and still get more than I could realize on my pro- duce any other way." Small Boy in Hamilton. There is a small boy in Hamilton who is much given to the use of big words. Sometimes he knows what they mean, but oftener—not. So when he was heard tailing his small sister an Ethiopian his mother stopped her work and listened. "YoU're all ready to have your ap- pendix cut out," he was telling sister, "you're an Ethopian tow." To his mother's question as to just what he meant be replied, with glances of Scorn for her ignorance. "rby? mother? an Lethopian Is some one who has taken ether," PERT PARAGRAPHS. THAT we are all creatures of circum- stances is first shown by the fact that we were not consulted about be- ing born, yet we are all here.
