Experimenters have found with pigs,

available in skint milk folowed by

It is sometimes fed to poultzy also.

Management of the Dairy
Herd.
Breeding, feeding and culling, are:
the three cardinal points in keepiu'g
dairy herds with profit. In an address
before the Nava. Scotia Dairymen's
Association, Mr, A. H. White, Senior'
Dairy Promoter for the Dominion;
dealt largely with those three points,
elements emphatica•] .y how leech each
meant to the suc'eessful dairyman. The
abject of the dairy farmer should be
to obtain the greatest quantity of
marketable products with the- least
expense. This, could uo accotmplislted
only by careful observanee of the
maxims laid down. A poor cow costa
as emelt to feed as a good cow and
in the long run a great deal more.
To breed well, a pure-bred sire is
essential; to feed well le to see not
telly that the food is nutritious and
well balanced, but that it is sufficient
to citable the cow to produce as much
milk as she is capable of giving; to
weed or cull well, involves the keep

Every reform measure has had its
bitter antagonists. When the reaper
was introduced into England; the farm
laborers wrecked and burned the ma)chines because it was thought it would'
throw them all out of work. Tar be
it from me to criticize the antagonists
of the consolidated school. They are
sincere and no doubt very kindly
folks. I write this with the hope that
tit will shed some light teen this de-
bated quesbiion.
Here are some argunmenbs against
the one -room rural school; I speak
from knowledge born ,of experience.
The rural schoole are unsanitary.
There is rarely any provision fee ven-
tilation. The floors are in a filthy
condition. The toilets are unspeak-
ably filthy; this ;last is especially true
of the boys' toilet, if the teacher is
a women and no adult janitor is cm-
eloyed. Investigate for yourself if
yet, doubt this.
The waiter supply is almost always
pour. Very y few rural schools are
equipped with saratesy drinking :foun-
tains, and where there is ane, int is
almost always out of order. Individual
drinking •cups are not a success. They
are used. for about the first week; and
then you will find most of the pupils
drinking water. from a common cup.
In the iast rural echcol I taught
there was a water pail and one cup.
