"I simply estimated their .weight and

for feed, labor, equipment, etc., from
the time the sows were bred in the

With such management he will cer-

A Portable Water Trough.
For the movable farrowing house
that most swine beeeciere now prefer,
an excellent watering trough can be
made from the end of a 60 -gallon bar-
rel. Each barrel will make two good
troughs.

Building Up the Ewe Frock..
The comparetively low ,price at
whieli wool . has been selling clueing
the present season' should not discour-
age the keeping of sheep no the care
given the flock that are to be mein -
kilned. Indeed, the situation affOgile
an opportunity to improve the existing
&tilts with little outlay of money. The
andicatiOne are that the low prices are
.notlikely to continue; mom eapecially
12r the finer grades of wool, because
Canadian manutacturers ere learning
to use Canadian -wools, which are now
sold in Muth better condition than
was the case sole, years ago betel.°
official grading Was practiced.
The best time to purchase ewes is
son after the lendas have been wean-
ed, At that time the breeding and
milking qualities can be readily ascer-
tained, and beside, ample, time is
available fin preparing the ficlek' ter
tile next crop of -lambs. Strong, well-
coyered ebearling ewes are seldom
disappointing,' and might very well
constitute at least a portion of an.
extensive purchase of new steeh.
These ewes.- should have the run of the
stubble fields, not sown to clover or
old pastures until the end of Sep-
tember, anda-then :given nacos to a
rape or clover field. If this green food
is not plentiful, it will pay to feed, a
small quantity of greie to make sure
the ewes are strong and thriving
when bred. This is the secret of hair-
ing a large percentage of strong twins
dropped. It may be well, as claimed
by some, to breed from ewes them-
selves twins, but even so, they must
he strong and thriving well to have
the best results because not only will
larger returns be assured, but the
lambs will be stronger and more likely
to live and do well, providing the
treatment of the ewes continues good
up to lambing time.
It is of great in-tem:tame that the
fioek be dipped before the cold wea-
ther arrives. It is exceedingly poor
policy to feed a 'horde of sheep ticks
as will the the case if the dipping is
neglected before the housing season.
The details of dipping are covered in

Preserving Eggs for Winter..
The comparatively haw price at
which eggs have been seNing during
the present eummer is no indiotion
that they will be cheap next winter.
The prey/dent housekeeper will there-
forls put down a supply to be used
from the, late autumn until the early
spring. There are two preservatives
that have been found to be about
equally valuable for preserving eggs
in good condition. Water glass, or
sodium silicate, is now very generally
ueeci, but some householders dislike to
handle this product and therefore se -

The Farm Women of Canada

hundredsof women and gilds' have
flocked to the farming dietricts and

attended With the most gratifying enc.

Labor and other organizations have

The Welfare of the Home
A Canadian Product -By Mary E. Ely.
The only child, that over -protected
and unprotected little soul, whose par-
ents are so unintelligent in their de-
sire to be intelligent, so intonsistent
in their consisteneies!
He ie an appealing child, even itt his
meet trying moments, and a word in
his defence may soothe and encourage
those who at times misjudge and find
him almost unbearable:
"I believe all children good,
11 they're only understood.,
Even bad ones; 'pears to me,
'Sjes' as good, as they kin he!"
The only child is surely sinned
against rather than sinuirg. Ile has
much with which to contend, this lone-
aeme child, having no legitimate vent
for his social life 'with those of his
own kind, in yours, andstage of de-
Vi3lepment, no one who can think his
thOghts, play his gamo and see his
little viewpoint.
"At evening when the lamp is lit
Around the fire my parents sit,
They sit at home and talk and sing
And do not play at maything"
sang an only child, our Whimsical
Robert Louis Stevenson. It is com-
panionship a child troves, and an op-
pottunity to establish relations on his
own plane with ether children:
Of course a little child dearly loves
the undiVided attention of his elders,
to be singled out as an object of at-
tention, the satellite around which
thoseloving him revolve. He is at the.
mercy of those persons who at times.
overwhelm him with attention anci af-
fection as the mood seizes them, then,
when the child least expects it, thrust
him aside without a word.
He is eonstantly being experimented.
with, and by inexperienced parents,
who to follow any other profession but
parenthood, the greatest one in the
world., would fit themselves for it by
years of study and research.
A nurse can keep a child physically
fit, she is trained tor it. Parents
-should go into teaining, curb their
selfish pleasures, and become sane,
bale:need, earnest, lovable, prayerful
in their condeet toward this only child.
Then he can 'build ' right standards of
behavior and control, thus prodecing
the mental, morel and spirituel quali-
ties essential' to good citizenship.
A Worth -while slogan provocative
of thought, was released at a Chikl
Welfare Club,-a"The chief besitess of
society, to evolve parents fit for chil-
drou to live with," to which we might
add Froebel's illuminating words
"dome let us live With our Children."
