Dairy Product Values.
A table appearing in the Agricul-
'tura Gazette of Canada for November'
and December, ee-aling with the yearly
production of dairy factories, shows
that while there, was an increase in
the proud -action of creamery butter in
this country of nearly eleven milld,on
pounds in 1921 over 1920, ,thene was
a decrease in the total value of be-
tween seventeen and eighteen
dollars, The cheese manufactueed
increased upwards of eleven million
pounds while- the total value decrees.-
'ed more than ten million dollars.
Nevertheless the total va1tLe of dairy
pot/duets in the whole country in 1921,
although considerably less than for
the two preceding years, was " about
sixteen million dollars greater than
in 1917. Ontario end the Western
provincee were *e chief contributors
to the increase.

Parents as Educators
Imagination and Untruth By Mary E. Underwood
One day last winter ray eix-year-old
boy ran to me and seta, "Come out and
see a bier* nest with four blue eggs
in it,”
In auL11re I took his land and
walked beside Mn through the garden
to a leafless wintry rosebush to which
he pohited t 'u I ti • "But where
is the nest'!" 1 asked.
"Right there." he isisisted, indicate
in a bleak branch with not eo much
as a straw en it.
'But there ie no nest," 1 inviated.
Then he withdrew his hand and
looked up into my face with utmost
scorn. "Can't you make-believe any-
thing. he said.
What was my response? What
should have been my response do you
think? Well, I believe the words that
rushed to my lips were the right and
true words. I said, "Why, darling"
I beg your pardon for being so 'stupid!
Of course 1an mako-believe and 1,11
nevor be so dull again."
The next week, however, there oc-
curred in my household a very differ-
ent ]die of falsehood. A little girl
of whom I had temporary charge had
found a purse with a good deal of
money in it. We had talked about
this among our neighbors and in the
child's presence until Ale felt very
proud of herself. One day he tame to
me with a doll= in. *her hand.
"I certainly will make you rich
sometime," she exelaimed quoting a
remark which we had frequently matte
among ourselves, "Here is a dollar
I found under a Took."
I can not tell just why I did not
believe her, but after ateepting the
dollar of which she made me a pres-
ent, I went to my purse. It had been
taken out of that. I called her in
from her play and very quietly told
her I felt euro she had taken the dol-
l= from me and asked her why she
had done so.
She denied it—she even protested
piously that she could not be so these
as to steal from one to whom she
awed so much kindness. I did not
argue or 'raise my voice; I siraply kept
saying, ,..vvby did you take it?" "I
feel sure you took it." "Tel"; me wby
you took it?"
Suddenly she broke down and ad.,
mated her guilt. Of course her rece.
sou was elear: She wanted to be tailed
about more, to bear people say,
"Mabel bus fauna mere money." She
had no desire for the money itself;
she had given it back to rue.
The first of these eases, that of the
bird's nest teary wee an act o harm-
less and beautiful imagination; OA
seeoud was a lie. The eptrit ef the
first should be encouraged, the eaeond
required a puniehment which would
make clear to the child's conscience
the baseness a her deed,
It is seldom hard to know the dif-
ference between flights of a child's
imagination and his untruths- To
sympathize with the Ammer, however,
we must pause for a few minutes and
try really to understand children's
natures.
It is very unjust to 'confuse this
beautiful gift of childhood with the
spirit of cowardice and vanity which
is at the root of most lying. To be
good mothers we must realize that our
little children up to ten years of age
aro like poets and artists and musi-
c-arms—to a great extent they live in
tbeir busy imaginations.
The Care of Farm Implements
The annual due to ignorance or
negligence in the care of farm imple-
ments is appalling. Figures have been,
published from time to time showing
depreciation on implements from lack
of shelter and care, still many farm-,
ere winter their implements in the.
field where they were last Used, or
scattered about the farmyard. A'
manufacturer, if he is to prosper,'
must keep his production cost at thel
lowest possible figure. Ilse satne ap-
plies to the farmer, who is no less a
maeafacturer, and one of the ways
in which he can materially cat clown
his expenses is in the proper case of
his implements and tools.
All implements when not in use
should be under cover, and not left
exposed to the influence of the weath-
