Here are two little Belgian refugees in the picture, healthy and happy en - two of thousands upon thousands ough, are in England, at Stretharn. So whose fathers have answered the call of duty and are fighting with their Allies for the liberty of peaceful na- tions. Those fathers did not wait to count the cost or to find out how much help they were going to receive from outside their borders. They perhaps believed that great nations like Britain and France would not stand by and see them crushed, and that the people of these wealthy and friendly countries would not allow their children and their wives to starve while they were away. But all that they really knew was thatthey heard the call of duty and rallied to their King. : Of course their faith in the nations who guaranteed their neutrality was :not misplaced unless they had faith in Germany. Great Britain and France did rally to their side and with them are putting an end to the Teuton Idream of World conquest. And their an many others, and it is compara- tively a simple matter to care for them. But there are left in Belgium more than have been or can be taken to England, What of them? The Belgian Re- lief Committee has answered that question most efficiently. It has fed them ever since they were driven from their homes to shift for themselves. It has been enabled to do this through the response of Canadians, with the people of the Motherland and the 'United States, to the can of the Bel- gians need. The Committee'e needs grow great- er rather than less as long as Ger- many rules the occupied parts of Bel- gium, and so long as the need lasts the friends of freedom -loving Belgium are asked to open their hearts and !loosen their purse -strings.

A VISIT TO THE SUGAR HUSH The sap -bush was a mile from ti house—beyond the field and the pas- ture, arid on the other aide of the big hill. But what was a mile to Jada. and Edna? They had their sleds, the crust was firm, and the March morn, ing was bright. It was Saturday morning, and all the week they had looked ahead to a whole day in the sugar hush, where Uncle Hartley was making maple syrup and maple sugar. 'They had planned to get an early start with Uncle Hartley, but ho had been gone an hour wheiethey woke tap. Aunt Emily filled the lunch boxes, saw that they had scarfs and mittens, and gave them a final pat as they took their Weds and started off, On the edge of the woods they found the first big maple that had been tap- ped. It was still so early in the day that the sap had barely begun to drip into the buckets; but they held their mouths under the spouts and felt a few sweet drops trickle to their tongues. "Isn't it sweet!" cried Edna. 'And how wonderful that the spring makes the sap climb from the roots to the rank and the branches!" "And there is enough to spare for maple sugar," said Jack. "I think that is the best part of it. Come, let's hurry on to the camp!" Before they reached the sap house they heard a cheery voice call out: "Well, well, pretty late for sap -bush workers to get round, but I've saved a job for youl" IIt was Uncle Hartley. He was halal- ' ing a sled piled high with buckets to put under trees newly tapped. Of . course Jack and Edna rushed eagerly Ito help him, and by noon lie said that be knew they had saved him a thou- . sand steps—or maybe it was a million; , anyway, it was enough to give them a right to be very hungry. And how hungry they were when at , last they opened their lunch boxes in the little sap house, with overturned . buckets for seats and table! They were close beside the big fire, where the great pan of sap was bubbling away, and they declared that never before had they eaten in a dining - room where the air smelled so good. During the forenoon tbe clear, blue skies had turned to dull getter, and while they were eating, it suddenly grew much darker. Uncle Hartley stepped to the door and looked out. "Whew!" he exclaimed. "A snow squall, and a bad one tool" The wind howled 'round the sap house, and the snow came driving in a white smother that quickly blotted out the nearest trees,' The wind rose to slnieks outside, and the trees made strange noises as they bent and sway- ed before it. The afternoon wore slowly away, but the storm did not slacken. Uncle Hartley told stories of his adventures when he was a boy. And what big p eces of maple maga' Jack and brine ate as they listened! Suddenly Uncle Hartley stopped in the middle of a story. "The wind has gone down," he eaid. "I guess the worst of it is over." When he swung wide the door a great pile ot snow tumbled in, but the children shouted when they saw -that it was no longer !mowing and that the moon was showing its face between the dark clouds that were scudding across the sky. "Now for home!" cried Uncle Hart- ley. "No danger now of getting lost in the storm, but it is going to be slow traveling. Leave the sleds here. You climb op on my back, Edna; and you, Jack, follow behind in the tracks that I make." So they started out. It was indeed slow traveling and they had to stop many- dines to rest. The newly fallen snow was not damp and heavy, but everywhere it was knee-deep or more; and in places, after they left the woods behind, it was drifted so badly that Uncle Hartley had to set Edna down and make u way through it as best he could, and then come hack Inc her, At last they were in the field, and how good it seemed Lo see the light of the house ahead! When they finally reached the door, Aunt, Emily hail a warm welcome for them. She first hugged Uncle Hartley, and thee she hugged jack and Edna again and again, "We didn't mean to break our Premise about getting home before dark," said Edna. And iill Jack could say was, "My, how much longs that mile was GIN evening than it was in the =min!"

From time to time vre have pointed out the advantage of having a silo. Experiments have shove that cows receiving some sort of succulent feed during the winter will give several pounds more milk than those fed dry roughage. Succulent feed is not only better digested than if the feed were dried before feeding, but it aids in the digestion of the other feed that is fed as well. We must have suc- culent feed for profitable milk or beef production, and the question is what kind of succulent feed is best. In the 010 Country roots have been the stand- by, but many farmers over there now are learning from their American brothern and considering the advis- ability of putting up silos, In this country there is no question which is the cheapest feed to grow. At Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, in the season of 1913, 17 tons of mangels were grown per acre as against 12 tons of silage. The man - gels cost $2.14 per ton to produae, whereas the silage only cost $1.34 per. ton. On an average there is fro rea- son why 15 tons per acre of silage should not be produced. In good years as much as 20 tons per acre should be produced. A silo is a pay- ing proposition. • Fresh milk is shipped long distances in Brazil in perfect condition in sealed cans with insulated walls, blocks of 'frozen milk being placed in it to keep; its temperature down.

He him- self lived the truth that he taught. Does he say that impossible thing, "Love your enemies," and turn them into your friends?
