drinking and treating have very little
chance of succsss until the people of
opin-
ion
in
the community havereached thep
ion that they are undesirable and in
addition that the partioular law or
measure advocated offers, the beet
ehanoe of eliminating the evils inherent
in the habit. Whether the people of
Huron are of that opinion and wheth-
er the. Scott Act as opposed to a gradu-
ally increasing strictness of the License
Lew is the better way will perhaps be
demonstrated in the next few years.
At the present time most of the
drinking that is done does no harm to
the drinker. A certain proportion
however, is harmful either because of
its effect upon the bodily or trental
health of the drinker or from the
financial deprivation felt by him=
self and his dependants or because of
crimes and cruelties committed by
intoxicated individuals. Where hate
its of unhappiness coexist in a home,
temperance people unhesitatingly say
that drinking is responsible. It is
quite ex probable, however, that the
unhappiness is responsible for the
drinking. The so called stittieties con-
cerning the proportion of our jail and
asylum population placed there by
drink are altogether unreliable, Time
brings its revenges. Iu the palmy
days of drinking a teetotlar was re•
garded with contempt and milksop
was the term generally applied to
him. To -day we in are danger
of drifting to the other extreme.
Many people are willing to say that
any man who drink+, is a scoundrel.
A temperance authority in the Unit-
ed States places the proportion of
drinkers who are harmed by their po-
tations either directly or indirectly at
twenty per cent of the total number.
In the nature of things of course this is
only a guess but we can accept it tem-
porarily at least. Under the Scott
Act all the drinking that is done illeg-
ally is harmful. Not only from the
effects of the alcohol Imbibed„ but be-
aause'the drinker is breaking the law
of bis oountry. Oft induces certain
sneaking propensities and encourager+
an apitude for perjury much to be
deplored. It is safe to say that the
drinking of thiecharacter which will
be done under the Scott Act will be in
excess of twenty per cent of the total
drinking now.

"Peed and Profit."
We came across two records -recently
Wet set us thinking, A Jersey cow
that gave a yield of 14.450 pounds of
milk and 727 pound, of fee, consua►ed
art average of 12 4 pounde of meal per
day all year. An Ayrshire's record
was almost id,inriral, 12 8 pnunda of
meal. Oar day. Just wheat the average
cow In Canada receives se meal is ate
(certain, hot this is certain, that vast
numbers of them would do intlni,tsly
better if they got the opportunity and
were fed on the heads of one pound of
grain for every three or four pounds
of milk per day that they yield.
As the average cow in Canada gives
probably only about one hundred and
forty pounds of fat per year, it ie a
question if she gets an average of
three pounde of meal per day. The
two cows noted above received four
times their amount, and paid for it.
More of our cows would pay, that IS
pay a good profit above the Dost of
feed, if they got the right feed.
Wben we find good dtdrymen will-
ing to give seventy and eighty dollars
worth of feed to a cow per year, it
means they not only have faith in
their own judgment, in the cow's
productive ability, but beyond thio►,
they keep records both of milk and fat
produced, and feed consumed, lo as to
be perfectly certain they don't waste
good feed on cows that don't produce,
Feed record forms and a herd record
book will be supplied free on applica-
tion to the dairy division, Ottawa,
Make sure each cow pays a good profit
this week.

The Agricultural Gazette Of
Canada,
With the corning of the New Year
there has appeared in the field of
Canadian journaliem a new agricul.
tural magazine which promisee to
serve a moat useful purpose. At no
time in the history of the world bas
the causeof agriculture been accorded
the support it now receives from
legislative bodice, and in no country
has the industry been more wisely or
generously helped than in Canada.
The Dominion and provincial govern-
menta exerciee the utmost diligence
and concern in their efforts to solve
the problems that confront the farm-
er ;
arm-er; to this work increased imeetus
has been given by the coming into
force of the Agricultural Instruction
Act, which serves as a medium for cb-
operative effort.
With a view to bringing together
ioformation concerning the work of
'the federal and provincial Depart.
ments of Agriculture there has been
commenced the publication of the
Agricultural Gazette of Oanada, the
first number of which has just now
made its appearance.
While this magazine is edited and
•published at Ottawa its value is great.
ly increased by the co-operation of
the officials of the Provincial Depart-
menta. The January number is evi-
dently preparatory for what is to
follow, as it is devoted chiefly to
accounts of the organiz•ttioh and
development of the several depart-
ments of Agriculture in Canada and
statements of appropriations by which
they are enabled to carry on their
work. It contains also the full text of
the Agricultural Instruction Act, the
agreement with each of the provinces
and a statement of the appropriations
under the Act for the present year
and the work made possible thereby,
In his "Foreword," the Honourable
Martin Burrell, Minister of Agricul-
ture, points out that the magazine is
not to enter into general circulation,
but is to eupply the press and those
engaged in agricultural work with
facts and information relating to the
educational and scientific side of
agriculture. To these it is supplied
free. For others a small additional
number of copies will be printed froth
month to month, for which ten cents
per copy or one dollar per year will be
charged.
The magazine, which is clothed in a
dignified cover, presents a very at-
tractive appearance, being printed on
high class, coated paper, which does
full credit to the photo engravings of
the Dominion and Provincial Ministers
of Agriculture that appear in the first
number,

Remnants from One Factory Used
as Raw Material for another
Waste wood in the manufacture of
school desks is now being used for the
hacks of cheap brushes. A large mann
facturer of school desks in Michigan
had a considerable amount of waste
material in siz-ts which were too short
to enter into the manufacture of the
smallest desks, and could not be utiliz-
ed further with his machinery or in
his line of work. This material was
all hard maple in pieces an inch thick,
a foot or so long, and about three
inches wide; for a long time it had been
consigned to the waste pile and sold
as fire -wood. This waste amounted
to from 1,000 to 1,500 board feet each
day. A nearby manufacturer was tie-
ing practically this quantity of maple,
which he was sawing up into small
pieces for making the backs of cheap
b,•uehee,
Members of the Forest Services, in-
vestigating, methods of eliminating
factory waste, conceived the idea that
the blocks used by the brush factory
could be readily secured from the
waste of the school desk manufacturer,
and on this basis an arrangement of
mutual benefit was soon concluded.
Arrangements were made so that the
other firm for its raw material and
what was formerly waste is now a
source of profit.
