A Writer Paints Out the Martial ]'reparation of Other Potters. The military correspondent of t11e London Tinges, examining the growth of Europe as an armed camp, draws the deduction that England must join France, Ger- many, Russia. and the lesser Euro- pean states in the increase of her army and navy, or else lose her position as one of the leading pow- ers of the world. He predicts, indeed, that unless England does increase her armed forces she will cease to be consider- ed by Franoe and Russia as a de- sirable member of the triple en- tente, and will be left to shift for herself in the game of European diplomacy, His final conclusion is that "the time is at hand when we shall have to call India, and the Dominions to our councils to survey the whole field of imperial strategy and to establish a defensive system adequate to the needs of an Oceanic - Empire."

Austria steadily adds to 11e1- effectives on land, and is committed to an ambitious and costly naval programme, which is already paralleled and will proba- bly be surpassed by that of Italy.

Sweden is develop. ing 11er defensive .preparations. The Netherlands, hankering after Dreadnoughts, are also busy with their coast defences, and anticipate higher ax-penditure upon their field army.

"We naturally take stock in Ger- many first because this power is al- ways forward in armament, and on the whole sets the pace which other powers have to live with if they can. There has been no slackening of German preparation for war, but quite the contrary. Now, as al- ways, the aim of Germany is to obtain the largest possible numeri- cal values consistent with quality and to acquire the utmost fighting efficiency at -the shortest notice. The personnel of the German navy has been doubled in the last ten years and continues to expand. Three new German ships of Dreadnought type aro to be commissioned this year, and -by the autumn Germany will have in full commission a. great fleet of battleships and battle cruis- ers of which only a few will not be- long to the Dreadnought type.

"If we turn to the German army we note that the schemes of 1913 are in course of successful execti- tion. Between Jt11y and ()etcher last the German administration had to take steps to receive over 60,000 more men and 21,000 more horses than in 1912, and this was no light task. The difficulties were over- come and the new law begins to bear fruit. The army is still short of 3,000 officers, but it is expected that this deficit will be made good in two years. By the spring of 1915, when the second increased an- nual contingent will be not only incorporated but mobilizable, the German peace establishment will nearly have reached the figure of, 510,000 of all ranks, and "the law should have received complete ap- plication by the end of the same year. The reserves will grow an- nually until they ultimately num- ber 5,400,000 fully trained men. A large increase in the number of re- servists called up for training this year enables ranks to be well filled at any moment' of danger. In France. As to ' France, the writer says: "The covering troops on the Ger- man frontier are now sufficient to meet any. type of attaque brusquee, and the peace strength of the French army as a whole no longer presents that dangerous inferiority to the German figure which former- ly caused such serious anxiety. At the same time, France is stili much inferior to Germany in peace strength and has considerable forces tied up in North Africa, She is also beaten•in the battle of re- serves, for the French system will eventually result in 1,200,000. fewer reserves than the German. "France has done all that is hu- manly, possible to maintain her mili- tary position in the world and looks confidently to her allies and friends to support her in preserving the balance of power, not only on land, but at sea,. . She possesses n very marked superiority over tiho Austro - Italian navies ^ in the Mediterran- ean, and the permanent presence of a strong British fleet in :this sea is, one of the necessities of the time, Ilussia'6 Preparation.

To build up a herd of good cat- tle, select pure bred sires of the type and breed desired, Mato these with comnicn cows, if bettor cows of )sigh grade 00 pure breed- ing are not available. Save the female calves which most closely conform to the desired type. Con- tinue to ]nate these with good pule bred bulls and save the best female offspring ae before, Although total purity of blood will never be at- tained in case only common or grade cows were available for foundation stock, the desired type earl be obtained and a world of good along the lino of improvement can be accomplished, In selecting bulls for breeding purposes, choose from the so-called special beef breeds, viz,, Short- horn, Hereford, Aberdeen -Angus and Galloway. The West Highland breed is also classed with beef cat- tle. The Polled Durhams may be glassed with the Shorthorns and the Polled Herefords with the Here- fords. Anyone who expects to feed cat- tle profitably for the market should not try to feed an animal that is not by conformation and other physical characteristics naturally adapted for fattening. In short, only good feeders should be select- ed. elected. The good feeder comes from par- ents that are good feeders and whose ancestry is of good feeding stock, accustomed to consume largo amounts of feed and deposit it up- on their bodies as meat of good quality. The importance of good breeding upon the quality of ani- mals kept for a sp•ecifio purpose cannot be overestimated, and the use of pure bred sires in establish- ing good working herds cannot be overvalued. The mating of a common ancestor or ono of no known breeding:with a pure bred sire and continuing to use a pare bred sire on the follow- ing generations of offspring is known as grading. Good common cows bred to vigorous pure bred Shorthorn, Hereford, or Aberdeen Angus bulls show in their calves remarkable improvement over themselves in type and quality. It should be remembered that the value of the grade is clue to the characters derived from pure bred ancestors. To Get Rid of Flies. Flies breed in manure piles and outhouses and in other filth they can find. It is hard to get rid of them once they are in the house,. and the best way is to destroy their breeding planes. Sprinkle the manure piles with kerosene oil or better—remove the piles to the fields where they belong. 1f the stables are close to the house it will be almost impossible to prevent the flies from troubling you: Slop should never be thrown near the house or allowed to stand in vas sels, but should be removed to a great distance and buried, Screen all the doors, windows, and sprin- kle all places, including the kitch- en sink where flies ai'e plentiful with a solution of one tablespoonful of carbolie acid to a gallon of wa- ter. Absolute cleanliness is about the only way to abolish flies. a*1'10a THE most practical tanks, whether for water or sewage, are built of concrete. They never rust, tot, dry out or leak: They never need new hoops. or paint. They last a lifeline and seldom require repairing, which makes them the cheapest tanks that can be built Clean, Sanitary Watering 't roughs are just as necessary as the animals that drink from Chain. The farmer'shest interests are being served when his stock isin- sured a plentiful supply of clear, clean water from a trough that is permanent and .sanitary, "What the Farmer can do with Concrete" is the name of a handsome free book that tells all about concrete tanks,, 1vatering troughs and other uses of concrete that will save every farmer many dollars, Writefor it to -day. Farmer's Information Bureau Canada Cement Company United 5112 Herald Building,, Montreal Remedy for Farcy. I have a recipe for thecuro of lathy that is so common to horses.' I have tried it and have never known it to fail. Here it is : One pound of sulphur., one pound of cream of tartar, one ounce salt- petre, one ounce rosin. Mix this together .and give a tablespoonful in the feed once a day for three days, then after three days give two doses of the same. You will find that it will bring your horses out all right.
