O o m i 0 g events may "east their shadows before" — but shortages in goods provide a strange new experience for most of us. To -day the dinner table of the average Canadian home reflects these shortages and brings. the war close. .Now we can admire with more 'understanding the spirit with which the people or Britain have accepted changing conditions. Thoughtful people will not only be anxious to comply with Govern. meat regulations — they will study equivalent food values of other plentiful ,Canadian -products and also methods of quick cooking to conserve electricity. Where rationing is fashionable - it is up to ne to make it 90. The question, "How does it affect me?" has only one answer — multiply what you do by 11,000,000 and see if it adds up to 100 per cent war effort. The right spirit is as vital to us as our daily bread and as necessary for victory.

D. Albright, Superintendent of the Dominion 'Experimental tion, Beaverlodge, Alta. On a cold day animals do not drink enough water if it is ice-cold. What they cls take chills them, and cheeks natural functions. Results are .constipation, i11 -thrift and some- times Indigestion. Warni water is relaxing, thus sub- atittute9 in part for sucorolent feed. Half a pailful of tepid water has brought around many a horse after an immersion or after a hard cold drive. Swine do: poorly on iced drinks In winter thne. They thrive best when penned i'n •com+fortable quarters and given tempered food and drink. While it may be inadvisable to accustom teams to lultewarm water if they are likely now and then to be ,proffered ice-cold beverages away from home and while moderation is probably advisable with all classes of stock, a heater in the drieking tank will not only avoid much ice - chopping bat will contribute decid- edly to the health and comfort of the farmyard stock, Ontario Home Economists: Register For War Emergency Another Derward step in the prep- .aration for war emergencies' In Canada is indicated in the announce- ment that each province is to set sip its own registry of home economists.
