Cutting Will Commence About August 20—Patriotism Demands Con- servation of Crop The gravity of the situation in re- gard to the harvesting of Ontario's crops serves but to illustrate more clearly the seriousness of the call of the farmers of the western prairies for some 30,000 men from the eastern provinces to help garner the grain in, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta , this season, The Canadian Northern Railway , whose 0,000 miles of line in the three prairie provinces serve the most pro- ductive areas, have already announced that the help of 25,000 melt would be required to assist the farmers along its lines this year. Since then repre- sentatives of the Federal government, the three provincial governments and the leading railways, have conferred at Winnipeg, and announced that 31,000 harvesters from Ontario and the other eastern provinces would be welcomed in the west this. year. As everyone knows, agriculture is at the base of our Canadian prosperity, and if only for this domestic reason, the harvest should be assured. But this year the wheatless millions! throughout the world look to the North American continent and especially Canada, for their supply. The North American wheat crop this year be- longs to all the world with the excep- tion of the Teutons and their allies, and because of this it is imperative that the grain yield be conserved.

It is a generally acknowledged fact that we have never made proper use of electricity in this country. In The World's Work, for July, Mr. James Armstrong predicts the early dawn of the British electric age. He cites Sweden as at example of the part which electricity is playing in the des- tiny of the world. The city of Stockholm is as cold a city in winter as one could wish to find; but although Sweden produces not an ounce of coal its citizens ares as warm and snug as if they lived in the tropics. Electricity supplies the solution of the problem. The Stock- holm householder does not burn coal in the grate of Ms room, and strive to profit from a modicum of heat which is radiated into the room, while most of it escapes up the chimney. Neither does lie dive into the depths of the cellar to stoke up the furnace. Ilia last duty on retiring for the night Is to move a small handle or switch — button if you like—which sends a cur- rent of electricity circulating through the wire coil enclosing a cold water tank. As the water becomes heated, up it is sent coursing through the pipes laid throughout the house, and the constant circulation preserves an equable temperature from hall to roof. Upon rising in the morning the householder shuts off the current — the water has been heated sufficiently to last 'the house during the daytime when the energy is required for a thousand and one other purposes for Duncan uttered the fragment of a loss of volume or weight. not very pleasant laugh.

Pig or hog fat is commonly known ar lard. Uncooked fats are called suets. Fat that comes from the cooking of meat, such as roasting or boiling, is called drippings. Vegetable Fats. These embody ails produced from vegetables, such as corn oil or peanut oil. Corn or peanut oils are particu- larly desirable for cooking purposes because they give a delightful flavor and texture to the cooked food. Other vegetable oils are bayberry, tallow pleased and flattered by her errand to eight per cent. This variation is from the bayberry, also penny tallow of to -day.

Who, for in- stance, would have thought that the seeming outworn weapon, the grenade, after which the British Grenadiers were named, would be one of the suc- cesses of the war? Or that the old bayonet would be much use against machine-gun fire? One must go still further back for armor; yet there has been a distinct movement in favor of a return to it. And it is a fact that the steel caps our men have been provided with have saved tens of thousands of lives. Then the sword was supposed to be obsolete. Yet we not only read of a naval fight where there was boarding, but it was followed by a cutlass fight, for all the world as in Nelson's Fleet in the brave days of old. After all, it does not do to scrap things too soon. They may come in very serviceable by-and-by, and even save the situation. And, in spite of machines and general frightfulness, the man himself is the most import- ant instrument, both of war and peace, Increasing the fertility of the soil is the most important problem before the majority of farmers to -day. ous generators which, in their rapid revolution, turn out current as readily and as copiously as water flows from the tap. The energy thus obtained so readily is convoyed from the lonely power -house, maybe for scores of miles, to the city to be•distributed among the residents, who are called upon, merely to move a small switch in their homes in order to receive the full benefits which the "juice" can extend. Meals can be quickly and Conven- iently cooked, the house brilliantly lighted, and as much heat as desired obtained—all by pressing a button. And the cost, owing to the extensive scale upon which current is generated, is but a fraction of the expense which would be entailed were coal or any of the other familiar mediums, gaseous and solid, employed for such purposes, Proper Methods of Buttermaking. Few people trouble themselves about the reason that creamery butter is to be preferred to dairy butter, bet by way of introduction to Bulletin No. 53 of the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, Ottawa, Dairy Commissioner Ruddick furnishes an explanation. In- cidentally he also points out that a good deal of damage is done to the trade by inferior dairy butter. The bulletin for which Mr, George H. Barr, Chief of the Dairy Division, is responsible, in concise terms describes the whole process of butter making, tells the utensils that should he used and how they should be used, gives the results of experiments with the separator as regards temperature and variations in speed, deals with the care of cream in cooling and prepar- ing for churning and in pasteurizing, gives expert counsel as to salting and working and points to the advisability of attractive packing in parchment paper. He also points out the re- quirements of the law in branding or marking and supplies practical hints on care of the utensils. Finally, he tells in terse terns how to get the best results in farm dairy work. Both the bulletin and a blue print of the plan for a dairy that is given can be had free by application to the Dairy Commissioner or to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, SENTINEL DOGS AT FRENCH FRONT ANIMALS WARN SOLDIERS OF ENEMY RAIDERS, Their Acute Vision and Hearing Ilan Many Times Contributed to Allied Success, Dog sentinels of the French army take their regular turn of repose to- gether with their human comrades in the rest camps of the second line, where they are relieved for a time from the nerve-racking thunder of the cannon, which is their daily lot in the front tranches. These dogs, mostly of the sheep- dog species, do most valuable services, at night more especially, in eon -many with the look -outs who have the task of keeping an unfailing guard on the front lines. The dogs have become quite accustomed to the roar and bursting of shells, which, when the • animals were first sent to the fighting lines, caused them to run off with their tails drooping. Now when the human sontieels are posted right in face of the enemy the dogs take up their position quite na- turally beside them and keep a sharp l watch out over "no man's land" Their ears perk up at the slightest rustle in (the darkness in front, but the dogs do not bark or growl. Instead, they call the attention of the soldier sen- try by wagging their tails and moving about nervously. ,..On many occasions 1 they have given notice in. this way of an enemy patrol moving about stealth- !ily in front, and have perceived the approach of raiding parties of Gov - mans long before their human com- panions had any idea that any hostile movement was in progress. Faithful Guardians. In fact, a considerable part of the French success in beating off German raids has been due to the dog -sentin- els' acute vision and hearing. One battalion of the famous Alpine chas- seurs, which possess a number of these animals, has, owing to their alertness, been enabled to prepare timely defense on six occasions this month against German night attacks. When the Germans arrived at the French wire, they found the riflemen waiting for them and they were driv- en back with heavy losses while the chasseurs themselves never lost a man killed. All the soldiers at the front have learned to have very strong confidence in the instinct of their dog compan- ions, who participate in all their per- ils and often save them from death or capture. COOLEST THING OF THE WAIL Calm Nerve of the Sergeant-Major of a Scottish Battalion. This war story, exemplifying stolid- ity and nerve, takes a lot of beating. "The coolest thing I've seen out there," said an Argyll and Sutherland Highlander, "was after the advance had bro]ten into open fighting. Some- times it happens in open fighting that you hold not a trench, but just a line of shell holes. This time our shell 1 holes were next to a battalion of Gor- dons that mostly came from Moray- shire, my county, and as things were quiet, except for a bit of shelling, I just dropped into a shell hole where the Gordons were. "There was a sergeant -major in this hole shaving as calmly as if there were no such things as shells flying around. I said to him, 'Man, sergeant - major, ye arena feart: Says he, 'I left my fear by the side of the Lossie.' That's the river that Elgin stands on, and the had a bit of a crack then. IM told me that he had been a bit of an athlete in his day, and when he gave me his name I sinew him for a man famous on the cycle track, We were talking away about Elgin and Plus- carden and Mosstowie, and about peo- ple thereabout when suddenly a Bache turned up at the crater lip. Ilow he got there Heaven only knows, but we were a bit nixed up with the Germans round us near and far, This Boche had an ugly look as if he meant mis- chief, but it didn't disturb the ser- geant -major much. He just laid clown his razor, and picked up his rifle and bayonet and sauntered out with soap down one side of' his face. "The Bache had a bomb in his hand but he dropped it without drawing the safety pin and be up with his ]rands, The sergeant -major rounded hint up into the shell hole, dropping him in by the scruff of the neck. He made tine German hold up the mirror while he finished his shaving. "T had to laugh at that. The ser- geant -major looked as if it were the most ordinary occurrence In the day's work. I had to get back to my lot then, and I don't know what happened to the sergeant -major and his prison- er. I hope he came through all right. The Gordons went over the top Baan after and I fear they matte an awful mess of the Germans. If they are n1l of the in•eed as the sergeant -major, I don't wonder in the least," Lime is not at important direct food for plants, 14 its chief functions in the soil are ta neutralize aridity and to promote bacterial activities, llfillet sltolltl be cut for hay about the time most of, the heads have ap- peered and when it is in full Moe - sem, but before the seeds begin to ripen Lmd get hard. s. 1t' 1 i1 .r " ARE you really saving mons by neglecting to re -shingle that$arn roof?
