'The Importance of laving (ioo.l
Breeding Stock.
Dtwlllg the past four years, mil -
Lobs el men who had previously been
producers of the largest part of food
stuffs required in Europe, have been
engaged in fighting for their coun-
try, and, as a result, thousands of
'farms, ioeks and herd, have been de-
pleted and the finest lands made un-
fit for cultivation. Those European
countries are leaking to Canada for
good breeding stock to re -stock their
•abandoeetl' fertile. The demo"d is
unlintit.ad and European markets
will be able to receive double out
present production, if we can produce
stock of the quality required.

Th's year above till others, with the
high ,price of hay and live stock,
fermers should endeavor to utilize
to the best advantage possible, all
roughages such as straw, corn stalks,
etc., by reins eng theta through a nut-
ting box and mixing with a small
amount of rut iriy, with the addition of
a few pulped roots and a small
quantity of meal, yon will have a
food which breeding stock will thorive
and winter very well on, and at the
same time enabling the farmer to
keep his usual quota of breeding ani-
mals.
A good many farmers are in the
vicinity of lumber mills or finishing
mills where they are able to procure
sawdust or shavings for bedding in
the place of straw, or where they
could use dry muck for an absorb-
ent, Try utilizing all •the home
grown rnuglhages and keeping more
live stock, the farmer will be ,increas-
ing the fertility of his farm by a
method which leas been proven most
conclusively the hest and most eco-
nomical way of maintaining agricul-
tural production, never more es-
sential than at the present time.
Lcsees Due To Controllable Measles.
Among the diseases. of ecanomie
Plants there exist some for which ere
festive control measures have not yet
been discovered. Besides these are
a large number where control is pos-
sible., but only after persistant ef-
forts extending over a number of
years. And finally there ere a
goodly number that readily respond
To measures of control,
If we take into consideration the
enormous losses resulting from plant
diseases every year wherever farm-
ing and fruit -growing is an in-
dustry of inlportrntcre—as in Canticle
---then it wrin be realized that negli-
gence and indifference towards the
control of 'such diseases as can ac-
tually be controlled, are anuses of
great national loss, -
The person causing a forest fire
through negligence or carelessness,
renders himself liable to prosecution
and a deservedly heavy tine, yet it is
rarely that the culprit himself is
the loser; the loss is debited to the
whole nation owning the forests. In
allowing plant disease to persist and
become widely prevalent, 'persons,
are• similarly guilty of crinh]nal epee l
gleet, particularly at this time when;
the question nl food is of far greater
ai.mporinnce than all the gold in the
world. let though Canada as a
enation ds tine prime loser through
the cumulative effect of such waste
in production, the nations, now so
markedly dependent upon Canada as
a source fur the eoccssaries of life,
also suffer in consequence. More-
over it; is not a commercial question
of sharing 111 the loss and thus re
ducting it, but coo or haying to do
without food whielt is lost through
negligent members' of it community.

possible, however, that sone of the
Hebrew clansmen remained with
" their possessions in Palestine, and
r that some of those w'ho went clown to
Egypt may 'have returned after the
- years of famine were past. In the
correspondence of an Egyptian king
of the fourteenth century B. C. we
find mention of a people called Cha-
biri, or Habiri, in Palestine, and in
an inscription of the thirteenth cen-
tury B,C. the name Ysiraal occur.; in
a list of Palestine states. These
names may be identical with Hebrews
and' Israel.
t The period of the sojourn of the
o
Israelites in Egypt must have been a
long one, how long WO cannot tell.
According to Gen. 15: 18 it was four
- hundred years, or, according to Exod.
' 12: 40, it was four hundred and
thirty years. But Gen, 15: 16 pre-
dicts the return of demi from. Egypt

_ "in the fourth generation," nd in
_,Exod. 6: 10-18, Amrari, the father of
t Moses, is said'' to be ,the grandson of
Levi, and so the greatgrandson of
1 Jacob, and D4oses'' mother is called a
"daughter of Levi" (Exod. 2: 1. 0:
t 20). It is possible that a generation
1 was reckoned a hundred years, but
i in actual fact four generations could
_ hardly have covered !bur hundred
years. The fact seems to be that, in
Genesis and Exodus, we are dealing
with a period before any definite or
exact historical records were 1cept,
and, while the main facts of the his-
torical personages stand out clearly
and distinctly, the detailed account of
t the years is wanting, and the reckon-
ing of time varies, therefore, in the
different older sources upon which
the writers of these books depended.
It is commonly supposed that
Hens that are not well-fed canno
be expected to lay well enough t
make a refit,
Any fowls which have not (templet
ell' their new plumage 'by Decembep
1st will not lay much, if any, during

In view of the high price of pout
try feed it is best to market all sur
plus poultry except that to be kep
for sale, for breeding or exhilt,iio
purposes, as soon as possible.
It is very poor business to marke
any kind of poultry which Is not wel
fattened, because a few cents' worn
of grain will often increase the sell
ing price. of the stock several times
the cost of the grain.
Don't forget to make use of all of
the by-products like skimmed milk,
clabbered milk, waste vegetables,
kitchen scraps, ets. All these snake
gond fond for poultry and help to cu
dnw'n the cost of feeding,
Washed eggs do not retain their
keeping finalities. There is a gel-
at:nous substance on eggs, which
1 seals the pores of th.e shell, and wa-
ter seems to dissolve it. When this
. substance is dissolved the air is ad-
mitted and decomposition begins.
Washing also has a tendency to har-
den the shell, letting too much mois-
ture escape, and thus injuring the
vitality of the egg,
Dirty eggs should not he sent to
market, however. They may be
safely treated by using a woollen rag
only slightly dampened with water to
rub off the dirt, Stains on eggs may
be removed with cider vinegar. Clean
nests will insure clean eggs.
Poisonous Plants in the Hay.
Much loss may be avoided by pay-
ing a little more attention to the
quality of food that is fed to live
stock. To use as food, hay which is
50;e coarse and unpalatable weeds
is not the best means of keeping
stock in good condition, nor is it more
wise to feed ,them poisonous plants.
Most animals have an instinctive
knowledge of injurious foods and will
push aside and leave suspicious por-
tions of their hay. But this refuse
is often chopped up with the fodder
in such a manner that they must eat
it or starve.
Bracken is conspicuous in hay by its
coarse foliage and rusty green color.
A closer examination will reveal on
the under side of the leaves, a nar-
row band or margin of rusty brown..
All bracken should be removed from
the hay and burned. It will not do
to leave it for bedding, as greedy
horses wil1 eat their bed'd'ing while
waiting for their regular feed. No
i11 effects appear after eating it once
or twice, as bracken polisening
slow and culnulative,
The leafless branches of horsetail
aro alae readily distinguished by a
difference in color, being of a darker
alncl more bluish shade of green than
the ordinary hay. Other differ-
ences are, the hollow stems, the leaf-
less, furrowed and' jointeg, branches
with sharply pointed teeth around the
joints.
The poisoning of cattle in the west
has occurred frons eatingthe seed -
pods of larkspur dried with the hay;
loss might easily have been avoided
by picking' out the coarse stalks with
the three -parted pointed pod's. The
leaves of, tine larkspurs resemble
those of the 'buttercups and are very
toxic in a fresh grout state. But
with ]t tturity they lose their toxici-
ty which then becomes concentrated
in the seeds. Thus 0 very email
quantity of pods and seeds will cause
death,
Another noticeable plant among
hay, harmful to sheep, i$ the lupine.
The pods 'and seed's are 1110 most
poisonous portions of the plant and
these aro often out with the hay in
the western provinces. The action
of the poison is not;ctmulative and
hence animals, may feed upon tho
plant without much harm unless the
toxic limit is 'reached, The toxin
dose for sheep of the seeds alone is
from ria to lh lb., and that of the

The 11111 That Wanted To Be a
Once upon upon a time there was a lit-
tle green hill with a necklace of love-
ly mossy stones and a crown of win-
depfal willow trees. For many
centuries it was a very happy little
hell. So many interesting things
]happened to make it so. The vil-
lagers from the valley below came
there on fine Sundays and rested and
had picnics under the willows. The
most delightful birds made their
nests there in the spring. It could
se0 so 'ler on every side and felt so
close to the big blue sky that it fair-
ly thrilled with happiness.
That -was before it got to talking
so much with the valley that nestled
down below. In the valley were
many villages, malty busy farms and
a merry rushing little river that bub-
bled along, always talking or winging,
and always joking.
When the hill called down to the
valley all the things it could see afar
off; that a storm was coining, or a
company of traveling players, or that
presently the wind would change,
the valley would n011 its trees con-
descendingly.
"Ah, but you should hear the news
that the river has just brought, and
you should see the lovely polished
stones it' has carried back to me :from
the deep sea!" it wonld cull. It
really was jealous of the hill, because
it w'as above her. Then it seemed to
the valley that when folk wanted to
be particularly ]sappy they left her
for the green 1i11.
"I are only for everyday work, and
she is for holidays!" she thought to
herself bitterly. "They cut my trees
for houses ancd' plant gardens on eny
lovely meadows and let their flocks
trample upon me. Then, away they
go as soon as they 'have an hour off
to the hill to frolic and picnic, with
never a thought for mo who holds
a1351 nourishes them,"
Do not suppose the valley told any
of this to the hill, Indeed no. She
lied much to say of the joys of as-
similating with so travelled a person
es the river, and in the summer 51e
would brag a lot about being out of
the son, and in winter she would pity
the poor 11i11 for having to stand up
against all the winds and storm.
"Now I am protected and I am
never lonely!" she would observe
proudly.
"It must be very slow up there;
without any people!" In the winter.
the villagers did not go to the hill as'
often as in the summer, but the hill'
had never thought of being lonely till,
the valley mentioned it.
Peon little green hill, it soul be-
gan to feel terribly sorry for itself,
for it was not, like the valley, smart
enough to brag.
On hot days the valley would call
up pityingly.
"You poor creature! I should
think you would be blistered.' It is
so cool down 'here; and when I feel
warm I have but to dip my edges in
the elver. Hove terrible to never be
able to loathe in his waters!" NOW
the truth was that the valley was
secretly longing for the enol breeze0
that stirred the trees on the hilltop,
but the hill never guessed ,this, and felt
sorrier for itself than ever.
"If I could be n valley I would be
happy!" it sighed over and over. And
down below it the valley sighed ark
sorrowed because it was not' a hill.
Ps'haw'l Now they are quite as silly
as us humans, always wishing to be
short or tall or what we are noti
Then cam the terrible tear, And
the wishes of beth were granted. In
the path of the angry red guns and
relentless gray Minis lay the valley
and the little green 11111. Mined and
shelled and tortured, the valley, the
'houses and trees lay tumbled in heaps,
higher than the hili had ever been;
and the little hill, ,with its garland
of green stoles and lacy headdress of
trees, was a level black mass of ruin.
Many years it will be before they
will be happy again. The poor hill
is choked and stifled for the free
upon itself, with rte homes and
houses shattered 40 bits, weeps for
the industrious villagers who have
been &liven away and longs for its'
easy and comfortable level.
Sometimes wishes are granted in
terrible ways, and though the little
valley and the little hill were not to
blame, stili it is dangerous Us wish,
especially whets the with 18 105pilrot1
by. envy.
For everything 8011e one has that
you hove not there is something, that
you have, and the happy folk are
those who find this out: before they
are grown up
pan, one large and one enrol kettle,
two paring knives:, a fork, two large
spoons, asbestos mat, dish towels,
and perhaps a dr:milers pee and oven.
Each child brings a cup, spoon and
deep oatmeal dish.
Each night the materials needed
for the following clay's cooking are
apportioned to different children,
convenience being the deciding fac-
tor for each indivichtal. Each child
contributing i, credited by the book-
keepers with the amowlt brought, re-
tail prices being the bas's of credit.
At the end of the weak when the total
cost per child is estimated,' it is usu-
ally found that the article brought
from Thome is equivalent to the
charge for the week. If this is not
the case the extra amount is made
up the follow<trg week by another
contribution. Thus, very little
money, if any, changes hands, Re-
ports from the chubs oil. last winter,
show that the average cost of serv-
ing each child daily with one hot dish
was two and one-half cents. One
high school served the entire meal
daily at an average of five cents per
member:
The general procedure fin forming a
Hot Lunch Club is as follows: The
teacher either talks over the proposi-
tion with the children, who consult
with their parents concerning it, or
she may call a meeting of the patrons
of the district, at which the project is
discussed. The home demonstration
agent, et there is one in the county,
can be of valuable assistance in pre-
senting the subject. If a favorable
conclusion is reached, - the children
proceed to forma club, electing a
president, vice-president, secretary
alld treasurer, and ways and means
of securing equipment are discussed.
The teacher usually acts as the
leader of the club. Two or three
women ht the district, who are parte-
elderly interested in the 501001 aro
elected as en advisory committee
their function being to en -operate
socially with the deader and the club
members.
Each week two girls or boys act as
cooks; two as house keepers, and two
as book-keepers. The v:erk is rotat-
ed in that each member who is old
enough (ten to eighteen years ore
the ages for active membership),
may get practice ,in each line of work.
After writing up a brie.£ report and
story of the throe weeks' wort:, the
member is said to have completed
the project. The .award is then made
upon the variety of menus, eo: t per
member, the report and story,
Having the children perfoh:.tn the

dren's time, since most of the food

gleed contain only sa,idwiclles, fruit
and a piece of (sake or cooky, the hot
dish being the major part of the
meal.
Primarily the object of the hot
school lunch i$ to preserve the health
of the children. As was hinted
above, a hasty breakfast, a cold and
s metirnes unappetizing lunch, usual -
ly dompeis the child to ower -eat tet

Herb is the vacant kitchen.
Where many a task was met,
And oft the body wearied,
With toil and grief and fret,
Yet through the westward window,
The slowly dropping sun,
Shed promise of the guerdon,
For battles fairly won.
No more the ticking time -piece,
Calls out the passing hours,
The doors henceforth shall open
To other hands than ours,
And there some stranger -mother,
Shall teach her child to pray—
() home of smiles and shadows,
We're moving out to-day!
