Family taste in meat sats the sten-
(lard for beef prodection onthe farm.
It is the 'factor that dictates the price."
The»housewife •will pay.:more .per
pound foie the exact kind» of out she
w'ants for the daily dinner, the butcher
will pay more to obtain that from the
wholesaler, the wholesa)tr will pay
mom, for such carcasses to the packer-
menufacturer and he, in the "'net re-
sort, will pay more for the animal on
the hoof.
Thus a change in the method of
meat buying for the house vitally af-
fects the methods which prove profit-
able to the livestock farmer. In the
laws few years each a change has one
about in Canada. The growth of city
life has iesulttl in the mass of the
consuming 'subtle beirte composed of
,,mallei families than was the case a

A well-known breeder and shipper
of cattle in Western Ontario says he
has on his feed lots about 30 head of
Hereford cattle, the beat he has ever
handled, weighing between 1,000 and
1,700 labs„ which he cannot get off his
hands,. They are of excellent quality
but outside of the every -day market
demand.
A scrutiny of the daily reports of
Canadian stockyards shows that the
handy weight has been meeting with
the readiest markets for a long time
part.
When the Butter Won't Come:
Very frequently farmers .or their
wives ask advice as to why the butter
will not come, To this question there
are several answers, the answer de-
pending upon the circumstances sur-
rounding the individual ease.
A common pause of this trouble is
that the salting of the cattle in the
fall of the year when they first go on
dry feed is sometimes forgotten. If
the cows are not salted regularly, this-
is
hisis likely the reason why the butter
does not come quickly.
Another very common eause is the
temperature of the cream may not be
riche fee cmrrnieg, A dairy thermom-
eter, which is not Mere ese-Te elve,
should be provided, and it well tell
when the ripened cream is around
sixty degrees, the correct temperature
for churning.
The method of handling the cream
before churning often has much to do
with the butter not coming. If a sep-
arator is used for skimming, the
cream should be cooled before ,nixing
it with fernier churnings. The cream
should be saved and kept in a cool
place until there is enough for a
churning. It should then be warmed
to about seventy degrees and allowed
to stand at this temperature for
twelve hours or until it ripens, Then
it should be cooled to around sixty
degrees, when it is ready to churn.
When the Bream is ripening, it should
be stirred occasionally so the temper-
ature will be uniform throughout.
An old neighbor who has uniform
success with churning recommends
this recipe when the butter won't
hers in that fashion, just so long their
mothers will find them forgetting
table manner's when they are home.
It quickly becomes a habit with them
to bolt their food, to throw away any
hits which do not especially appeal to
them, to eat a 'bite mrd run for a
drink of water, eat another and dash
for the twinge. Besides being bad for
their manners, such a method of eat-
ing is decidedly worse for their health.
The Pleasant Dale school,, I take it,
does not serve a hot lunch at noon,"
"011, no," replier! Roberta mother,
"several families endeavored to get
the hot lunch system started but the
local board' considered it too great an
expense."
"Which was a big mistake," added
the young lady who knew. "The cost
of installing the necessary apparatus
is insignificant; the good results ob-
tained are almost unbelievable. If I
were in your place, I should not let
the matter be lost sight of for a
moment by the local school committee.
I should hammer the benefits to be
derived from the system. into their
!reads till they felt in duty bound to
give it a trial.
"Perhaps you can persuade the
teacher to have the children eat at
their desks. Each child could bring
a paper napkin to lay over hie desk.
Two ;of the boys could aet as water
carriers to fill each child's drinking
cup' before the meal started.
Fifteen minutes would generally
suffice for the consumption of the
meal, During that time the children
should sit quietly at their desics, eat-
ing their food as it should be eaten.
Talking should not be forbidden, for
talking and laughing—general good
humor—are conducive to gond diges-
tion; but th'e teacher should he in her
place, with her eyes open to enforce
discipline if necessary."

Agricultural Education.
Ono of.the most progressive steps
in recent years hi the interest of agri-
culture was undoubtedly the grant of
ten million dollars made by the Do.
minion Parliament err the advise of
the Minister of .Agrieulture to be'di-
vided pro rata among the different
province; over a. period of ten years,
beginning in 1914 under the Agricul-
tural Instruction Act. The money' was
to be used for the pronr+atlen of in..
struetion in apiculture, not neces-
sarily cenilned to the young, :but ex-
tending to all interested' in 'the 'basic
industry of the country,. For, several
years eleven hundred theme -and dol.
lays has been so divided each year and
will be continued for n term yet un-
expired. The effept has been a great
improvement in, and extension of,
education in the direction aimed,
Among the main achievements under
the Act, are the aiding of the Agri-
cultural Representative system, which
places the knowledge and experience
of especially trained and educated sten
at the service of very farmer; assis-
tance to agricultural colleges, and • in
the establishing of agricultural
schools; the promotion by counsel and
advice of to -operation and marketing;
the giving of practical and • valuable
demonstrations in horticulture' and
other branches of the agricultural in-
dustry; instruction by direct•methods,
in live stock, dairying, poultry, and
beekeeping; instruction in field 'bus-
bandry, including crop competitions,
demonstration plots, seed production
and weed control; instruction in soil
treatment and use and value of fertil-
izers; methods to be followed,, in
underdraining and the beneficialere
suits to be, derived therefrom; the
promotion of short courses; demon-
stration train service; aid •to boys'
and girls' clubs and school fairs, and
to women's institutes.
The financial assistance rendered
by the grant has enabled each of the
provinces to' greatly extend its. efforts
in these lines of work with a corres-
mending advance in farming methods.
The fellow who isn't fired with en-
thusiasm is apt to be fired. ,
