THE FOLKS AT HOME
By 3, E.1MIIDIILETON,
It is the custom of people to exclaim
over the achievements of their neigh -
bore .and townspeople. If a man
'builds a fine residence pee whole town
is proud of it.- The bigcorporations
,count upon the straigt advertising
value of palatial offices and and heavy
expenditures on building account, fully
justified. -
A Westerner has a considerable
pride in the achievements of a great.
milling Company. although he may
have no personal interest in the in
stitution. Similarly, all Canadians
regard the lar$er Banks with a sort of
patriotic glow in their eyes, and as-
esuiedly, the ma nitude of the C.P.R.
has been mentioned many times in
the presence of Americans -that their
p.Mite incredulity may be noted!
This sort of pride is wholly admirable.
It helps to consolidate national spirit,,
and dots something to stimulate
joint effort for the advantage of the
country,
There are many notable institutions
in Canada. Is there any greater or
more nobble than the Hydro -Electric
System of Ontario? Here is an in,
etitutiou which surely is big enough to
raise any man's a 'ebrows- --•'32 develop -

pprecluring in the aggregate 315,000
horse -power; thousands: of miles of
transmission line; an inver,tenent,

In the arta organxrnntion, the
hydro-Fleetric System is ideal. Its
accounting ie standardized a"+-ording

The .l:est thing; about the "hydro"
is the fart thed it ler, rut in two the
average charge for eleetrir, light and
power tervia a in the Province of (ent-
eric. Scores of eorrrmunities, large
and small, are getting clertrical energy
for domestic and cndu-trial uses at
prices which cannot even be approach-
ed in the largest An'eritan cities where
conditions of distribution are moat
econontieai. The householder of Tor-
onto pays legs for his lighting than a
roan in ;Niagara Falls, N. Y. on the
very edge of the great source of power.
'1'he'rause is found in municipal owner-
ship, Private ownership exacts "all
that the traffic will bear." The
Hydro -Electric System sells power at
rout and does it on a big scalp:,. More-
over, the men who built and ' who
manage this great institution are
Canadians --our own folks,
It is no wonder that the "Hydro"
has captivated the imagination of the
look
oee het more ati d.still more mun-
icipalities are calling for service, and
that the enemies of the institution
have dwindled away to a very small
and unimportaet body of "last-

COWS IN HOT WEATHER
Shade and an Abundance of
Water Are Necessary.
Trees In the Pasture a Boon --Some
Cows Drink 20 Gallons of Wafer!
a Day at High Milk Flow --,. Fly
Remedies -Lice on Hogs,
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agliculture, Toronto.)
During the extremely hot weather,
cows and calves frequently suffer,
sometimes needlessly, from three
things -effects of high temperature,
leek of water, and from, torment by
Hies.
A great mistake was made in the
older parts of Ontario when practi-
cally all the tree were cut down,
thus leaving no shade for cattle and
other live stock. This is being reme-
died to some extent by the planting
ot trees along roadsides, lades, and
line fences where the trees will not
Jtntereere with the crop', But it• takes
a lent time for trees to grow into a
alae which will provide much shade.
When the late Prof, Brown waa in
ehstrge of the O. A. College farm and
live stock, he planted small groyee or
trees on various parts of the College
farm, and no more pleasant sight
Wray be seep than that °o! the College
herd lying in the shade among there
trees on a hot day. These groves
anake•the fields where located rather
awkward to work, but the cattle cer-
tainly enjoy themselves among the
trees. On a live stock and airy farm,
,
while it may not be advisable to plant
trees in the luiddle of a field, it cer-
tainly writ pay to bave thein in as
many places as possible, where they
dostotiuterfete with the working of
the land. They, of course, meet be
Protected wheat young, froth injury
by the stock, but this can be done
wititout;too much expense.
Inn the meantime, on dairy* farms
where no ehade is available in the
regular pasture held, aomettmee a
wood -lot can be utilized for the stock
during the heat of the day, though
they may damage the youtte trees
to some extent. Another plan is to
keep the cattle in a darkened st,nbre
for part of the day. This movies s a
good deal of extra labor Olken:n:, tine
stable, and keeping the cows ci,r,tas,
and under present labor c nnditauus
may not be practicable on many
farms. However, where there 14 tar
necessary labor available and parti-
cularly where cows are receeviag :toil-
ing or silage feed to supplement the
pasture, the feeding in the stable nt,ar
well take place daring the day, and
the cows be kept inside while it is
very bot, This plan also reduces
worry fromflies, when the windaws
are covered to makethe, stable dark.
Cows •frequently suffer from lack
of sufficient water. As a boy, the
writer remembers driving cattle to
"Big Crick" in Brant County during
dry spells. The cows were nearly
famished when they reached the
"Crick" and would drink until they
looked like bursting. But, by the
time they reached home, atter walk-
ing for a mile -and -a -half over a dusty
road, the cattle were nearly as thirsty
as ever.
The only safe source o! a sure
water supply is a deep well, driven
or bored, and having the water
pumped by Windmill or other sources
of power, with a storage tank for
emergencies. There is no part of
Ontario in which' an abundance o1
water cannot be obtained, if we g.o
deep enough to tap the hidden
sources, of supply. In some districts,
more particularly in the natural gas
regions, the water may be salt or
sulphur, in which cases, large tanks
or cisterns for storing rainwater :uay
be necessary, but this is unusual.
No matter how it is obtained, the
owner of dairy stock, more especially
of cows milking, must supply a large
amount of water, else the stock will
suffer, which means lessened milk
supply, and small cheques from the
creamery, cheesery, condensery, or
city dealer. Milk consists of about
87% per cent, water, and this water
must come frota the drink and feed
of the cow. A cow giving 100 lbs.
(10 gallons) of milk dairy, will drink
over 200 lbs. (20 gallons) of water
in a day. Cows giving lesa milk will
drink' in proportion: 'Give• the cows
plenty' of water. Young cattle, calves,
and hogs, alto need plenty o€- clean
water in hot weather.
• There are several: good, fly •r ne-
dies on the market. Where there is
not time to make one, the purchase
of a patent fly -killer or repellent, is
advisable: These are usually applied
daily, or twice a day with a small
hand sprayer. The expense is not:
great and the freedoms from worn,
by both cow and milker is worth the
money.
A home-made remedy may consist
o! one-half gallon fish c41, or any old
grease, one-half pint coal oil, and
four tablespoonfuls of crude carbolic
acid;cresol, etc: Mix thoroughly.
This will be sufficient for twety-five
coves and may be applied with a
brush or cloth, If there, is no rain it
w'i11; keep„ the., dies, off ,,tor several,
days; " Milkers must yhe' careful not
to get this on the hands, nor allow
hairs to ` drop into the milk pail, as
it will • taint the .milk. It is. safer to
apply. after,: milking. -H. ='H. Dean,

Lice Add to Cost of Pork .Production.
According to tests made by the
United -States. Department of Agri-
culture at Beltsville, Md,, lice add a
cent a pound to the cost of'pork pro-
duction. Two lots 'of; hogsoe ten
each as nearly eF(tial as`to •the quality
of the ,aninials ens•-pose-ibie`''were used
in the tests. The
two lots were man's
aged and fed in the same way except
thatone„ lot was treated for the pre-
vention of lice. In the other thence
were a11owed' to have their way: At
the end of the fatteningperiod it
e as found that the hogs infested ..
with lice cost a cent a pound more;

The development of Exeter as a High School
centre seems to be the natural outcome of a
growing desire on the part of both parents and
chi11deeiieiii;South;Huron for a broa{ler.and bet-
ter, education.
•
For a number of years a Continuation
School was maintained, but a couple of years
ago it was found advisable to change this to
a High School . with . a stain ofthree teachers.
This yeareso, insietant was 'the demand for fur-
ther improvement that the Board of Education
unanimously decided' to increase the staff to
four teachers, corimencing September next,
thus not only expanding the facilities for Lower
and Middle ` School` work but enabling Exeter
High School to take Upper School studies as
well.
The central locatihn of Exeter with respect
to the townships of Usborne, Stephen and Hay,
and the villages of Hensel', Zurich, Crediton,
Centralia,' Dashwood and Winchelsea makes it
a matter of some interest to the people of this
district both from, the•standpoint of expense and
convenience to 'have' a well-developed High
School at their very door. The town is also for-
tunate in .having many good homes where
students may obtain board at reasonable rates.
