Care of the Chicks.
Young chicks should not be.allow••
ecl to roost too early. Let then)
seek the roost of their own free
will, Care should be taken, how-
ever, that they do not crowd in the
pens, or brllood coops. They will
simetimes persist in piling up and
the under ones suffer accordingly.
The extra warmth producing per-
spiration is weakening and stunts
them beyond [point of recovery.
They are also liable to catch cold
with a sudden change of the tem-
perature.
Study Climatic Conditions.
One of the commonest mistakes
whioh orchardists make is to try
to follow the same system of prun-
ing in all parts of the country. Cli-
matic and other conditions make a
big difference in the growing and
bearing habits of trees, and in or-
der to secure the best results it is
necessary to adapt pruning meth-
ods to slut local conditions,

What the cow owner needs

milk each cow produces, and, sec-

tial when keeping milk and fat re-
cords. A good spring scale is the
best fur ordinary farm use. One
that can be -purchased from any
dairy supply house for about three -
dollars will answer every purpose.
Soales may be obtained on whioh
the dial is divided into pounds and
ounces, or pounds and tenths as
preferred. The latter is •mu•ch more
convenient in adding up the totals.
This style of balance is provided
with a hand or pointer Which can
be adjusted to stand at zero with
any ordinary milk pail. This en-
ables the weight of milk contained
in the pail to be read directly with-
out substracting the weight of the

The Kicking horse.
The cure of a kicker is a difficult
task. There are many remedies
advised, but even the best is some-
times ineffectual. It may arise
from vice, or from excessively nerv-
ous
ervious disposition. - One of the com-
mon appliances used is to swing a
bale of s(raw behind the horse, so
that he may kion until he is tired,
without doing injury to himself.
The bale will swing to and fro, and
irritate to the point of persuasion
that there are more profitable vic1's
than kicking.

DESTI'rll'PION IN SERBL1.
1,000,000 Suffering, and Children
Die From Starvation.
While the misery and untold sor-
row of the people of Belgium :have
been brought vividly before the
minds of the Canadian people,
very little has been heard about
the devastation and distress in
Serbia, a country that had hardly
recovered from two -wale before it
was plunged into the vortex of the
present world struggle. No proof
is needed of the terrible state that
Serbia is now in, and those who l
have lately returned from that
country give a terrible description
of devastation, poverty and suffer- '
ing. J.
Metropolitan Piuiitri, supreme ,
head of Alto Serbian church, des- '
cribed recently the distress of the
civilian popuIlation in the following
words:—"To-day one million Ser-
bians, one-third of the population,
are suffering every possible sorrow.
They are destitute of everything.
Since the beginning of the waw',
when their lands were turned into
battlefields, they have endured ter-
rible. privations, and their suffer-
ings have been still greater during
the war because the first invasion
took away a great proportion of
the peasants who remained behind
to provide food for the families of
those who were fighting.
Women, the mothers, wives ,and
sisters, and the children of a mn1-
lion Serbians, are suffering now
because. :of the second invasion, land
more Serbians still aro being dri-
ven from their homes. In six of the
most fertile districts no less than
fifty Ter cent, of the children are
dying from lack of nourishment
and medicine, from cold and expo-
sure. In the invaded village's
everything has been pillaged, .and
when the unfortunate refugees who
are r,nupc:lled to rice, return to .
