Of course, worms may be the! cause, and sometimes after a severe' spell of sickness, such as distemper or influenza, gr even eche, the animal' may remain thin and in a thriftless condition: Many stock owners think young horses have nothing wrong with their teeth, This is a great mistake, as more trouble is found in animals be- tween our and seven than et any other age, If a horse at this period of life is given a geed examination by a competent veterinarian, often no- thing more is needed for some years. There are three common dental ir- regularities: First, sharp points, found on the inside of the lower grinders, which may cause ulcers on the tongue, and those on the outside edges of the upper grinders, which cut into the cheeks. Second, unshed Hulk teeth, which may interfere with the normal posi- tion of the permanent ones. On the back teeth, those are known as caps, and often wedge in between two grinders. Third, wolf teeth, which are small, unnecessary teeth, usually found just in front of the first upper grinder, Sometimes a wolf tooth is only as big as a grainof rice, and at other times may be as large as a person's front tooth, with a longer root, In addition to these, we find long teeth, caused by the tooth in opposi-I tion wearing down faster than the. others, which permits an uninterrupt-± ed growth of the other grinder. It is not unusual to find a tooth of this, kind sticking up over an inch above! its mates. This, in turn, wears a large; hole in the tooth it grinds against, and we have an ulcerated condition that may involve the whole jaw bond,! When you suspect anything the• matter in a horse's mouth, you can find out a great deal by using a flash- light. First of all, be very gentle' with the animal, and then. grasp the tongue with the left hand. Full the tongue out to the left lido of the face and insert the flashlight in the right side of the jaw, just in front of the grinders and back of the tushes, if the animal is a horse --marcs usually do not have these canine teeth or tushes, x ou can now examine end rignti side of the mouth very easily, As stated, look at the inside corners of the lower grinders and the outside edges of the upper molars, If they look as jagged as the Rocky Moun- tains, your animal has sharp points, If an extra little tooth snuggles up in front of the first upper molar, it is a wolf tooth, Then shift as tongue to the right side and insert the flash- light in the left side of the face, and examine the left back teeth, Then look at the front teeth, taking Ware riot to overlook any small unshed milk teeth. A horse has forty teeth, or forty- two with wolf teeth. There are six lower nippers, six upper nippers, twelve lower malars and twelve upper grinders, with four canines or tushes, A mare has thirty-six, the four can- ines usually being absent. Wolf teeth are common to both sexes; they usually come in pairs. A colt has twenty-four milk teeth. It has the same number of nippers or front teeth as a full-grown horse, but only half the number of molars—six above and six below, or three in each jaw. An April colt will have a full set of milk teeth to eat his Christmas dinner with, and keeps this set until he is about two years of age. Then he begins to cut teeth in earnest, and when be is between five and six is fully equipped with a brand new set of permanent ones. Fully half of the colics and acute indigestion arise from imperfect teeth and poorly masticated food. Fixing the teeth is called floating, and is performed with a filelike instru- By Hilda Richmond t called a float. It is remarkabl to be disconnected it is often difficult to atop the flow by plugging, cupping or otherwise stopping the pipe. Plumbers have a stunt called "bag- ging" that can be brought into nee as follows: Cut out a section of smalldiameter inner tube about eighteen inohes long with the valve about aix inches from one end, Vulcanize the end farthest I from the valve and force a round stick covered with tire tape into the openingnextnext to the valve and bind on l solidly with cont When aip a line is opened force Ithe free end of he inner tube in as , far' as thevalve, ix into va ve, and pump a it until it swells suffleiently tight to completely close the pipe and hold ack any flow that might occur.

Investigational work carried out by the Depart. of Bacteriology, C.A.C., that is of special interest to the cheesemakers and managers of fac- tories, was concluded during the past year. Many . factory managers had experienced trouble in keeping the composite samples of milkin good condition for the period required by the Dairy Standards Act. The result of the O.A.C. Bacteriological Dept. investigation shows that net less than six grains of corrosive sublimate is required to keep a one -pint sample in good condition for forty days. This amount should be used if the butter fat -tests are made either once or twice a month. HOGS.

For Home and Country WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE. Fifty years ago there were practi- cally only three professions open to women—to teach school, to teach music or to get married, Nowadays all that is changed: there is really no door that is closed; we have only to pick and choose, for we may do what we desire to do, and it is surprising crow many women have chosen agri- culture. These women are working with chickens, with bees, with apple trees, with flowers, with dairy cows, with small fruits—indeed the list is. almost endless. To unmarried women and girls these occupations are often a way out from city Iife which has become dis- tasteful. For the farmer's daughter, this business of income -earning at home is a blessing; she has all the joys of home life and still is tasting the sweets of independence, One of our short course girls, who helps her father in the orchard, says, "Earn your own money, girls—it's a lot nicer than asking Dad." To the farmer's wife "butter and egg money" have always meant that most precious pos- session, "my own money." Usually it is spent at the store for gingham for the children's dresses or shirting for father's shirts, or if everyone else is looked after, possibly shoes for mother. Still, it has been her own money, and she spent it as she want- ed to. And now, all through the country, we see a quickening of the activities of land women. In one section near Toronto, we see two nurses adventur- ing gaily with chickens, lacking ex- perience, lacking canniness, but mak- ing a success of it, since they abun- dantly possess grit, backbone and vi- sion, These women take all the help offered by their government, and every year are growing in knowledge and skill. In another part of Ontario we find a widow (left with a farm and five children) doing what? Taking the short course in agriculture so that she may become a successful farmer and bald her farm for her sons. Not young, In years, but with the spirit of eternal, youth in this questing after knowl-' edge. From another small farm, seven hampers are sent each week to seven lucky city dwellers: Each hamper, eontains a chicken, fresh eggs, fresh. butter, a jar of marmalade or jam,! rookies, and often home-made bread., Everything is raised or made en the farm. Tsn't this an experiment in agriculture worth trying? On another farm where there is an invalid husband, the wife out of sheer necessity has built up a business of canning fruit, making pickles, jams, and jellies. There was an abundance of small fruit on the farm and this has been earefully tended and cared Ser. 111 a section beside one, of our sum- mer resorts, a farmer is making an 'excellent lneome from growing and selling vegetables to the summer res1-1 dents.

M. Aitken, Beeton. A PIECE OF REA- L NEIGH- BORING. We wonder if any organization ever had a more neighborly piece of work to its credit than this: The Institutes of South Simcoe were running a series of inter -Institute debates last winter.. When Bond Head eame to Tottenham, they had a debate, a musical program, a short play by the Tottenham Insti- tute and refreshments. The proceeds amounted to 646, with limited ex- penses to either organization. Three days previous, a woman living in the country near Tottenham had lost twin babies and her own life was hanging in the balance. The Tottenham In- stitute women hearing of it, immedi- ately put in a trained nurse. The Bond Head women, learning that Tot- tenham was using its share of the proceeds from the evening for this purpose, 'phoned them the next day asking to have their share turned over to the same cause. The Secretary says, "We had a nice letter from the doctor in charge, saying it was the means of saving a life." WELCOMING THE NEW BRANCH, In North Hastings when a new branch was organized at Rylatone last winter, the district president sent the news to every other branch in the d}strict, and each branch secretary sent a letter of welcome to the new sister. At the time of this organiza- tion meeting, the roads were about as bad as they have ever been in the winter, but a sleighload of nine women drove out from Bonarlaw to help with the organization and they say they found "splendid material" waitdng to be organized—twenty-ono members for a beginning, A Lubricating Hint.

The idea of caring for the defectiv child outside the home is of recen origin. The old idea that the mother of such a child should give to it her whole life in loving and sympathetic care is so deep-rooted in the human mind, that grave mistakes have been made dealing with children who a birth, or following an illness or acci dent, are not normal, and can not be treated in the home as healthy, noisy but sane boys and girls are treated In every county there are children who are deaf and dumb, as well as those who are hopelessly .feeble- minded, blind, crippled or otherwise defective, and the problem of caring for them affects. not only the home in which such children are found but the community at large. The parents of a defective child should leave no stone unturned to see that the child get a proper examination and the opinion of a competent physician as to whether or not the case is hopeless.' If the parents can not afford the expense of an examination, the local doctor can arrange to have the work done by some specialist connected with a hospital in a nearby city. Neither false pride nor the desire to conceal such defects should prevent parentsp from taking advantage of such help. Often it has happened that some op- eration or treatment will remedy a defect, and surely every child has a right to a fair chance from the very first moment of life. If it is found that the defect is incurable, and the child must remain blind or deaf or crippled for Iife— should efforts to help the victim cease? Certainly not. No matter what anguish'it causes the parents to part with the little one, the child should be early placed in a state or private institution for training and discipline. HUMORING THE UNFORTUNATE. CuIL%, The average home is not the best place in which to train and instruct the unfortunate child; for while the parents may be able to pay for train- ed help, the tendency to spoil the child is too great.

I questioned the statement, "I . mean it's A• good thing if you get over it all right," he asserted. "Our science teacher told us about it, If you get over it you aro in lots bet- ter shape than before. It cleans out your impurities and makes you over so you are better and stronger." In spite of the science teacher I am obliged to say that I do not know"of a single illness that gives physical gain. Illness may strengthen or re- fine one's ,character, it may give a clearer mental vision, it may induce a growth of soul; but I know of not one single illness that brings physical gain. Some of you will be a little slow about accepting my statement because you happen to know someone who had typhoid or appendicitis and has been a, different person ever since. But why credit the improvement to the illness? I knew an overworked student who came down with typhoid fever. She had been playing around the edge of destruction for nearly four years and was a physical wreck when she suc- cumbed to the disease. So her chances seemed mighty slim. Eventually she pulled through. Since graduation that year was out of the question she quit worrying about studies, stayed in bed for neariy fourteen weeks, took the whole summer for vacation, gained fifty-six pounds in weight and became a new woman. And to this day her mother thinks the typhoid "clean out" did it. A business man who had been troubled with "indigestion" for six years, called me one night because of his "colic." . I diagnosed appendicitis and we removed his "colic" and put it in a bottle. He gained in weight from 122 to 164 pounds in the next six months, and often tells his friends what appendicitis did for hint. Shun illness of every kind, avoid and prevent disease, keep well.
