Wouldn't ,you naturally be concerned about What the boese did the rest of the year before buying hiln? That illustration is only Supposi, ton, of course. tut it isn't: so very different froni this, which is a reality: Smith has a dairy eow for sale. She is registered in the herd -book of her breed, and the owner will give a pedigree with her. eyeterinaz,- ian's certificate show a thee the cow is not -affected with any disease. When you ask Smith how much butterfat the cow produces, he replies: "Her record for seven days is thirty pounds." Wouldn't you want to know what the cow could do the rest of the year? The sem-day record of butterfat production g's not a safe measure of the worth of any dairy cow, any more than -a seven-day record is a safe measure for a work horse. The only safe test in either case is the yearly. test. A seven-day test for a cow is only an estimate. The cow is generally prepared for the test for weeks be- forehand. All that can be done to force her production to the limit is done. On the strength of the test thus made, the cow is sold to some man who -can not, under ordinary con- ditions, make her produce half her official record, The :buyer thinks something has been put over on him; and indeed there has been. Tiine was 'when the seven-day test was all right. When testing -was in its infancy, the seven -clay test was a sort of a primer. But dairying is past the primary stage; the yearly test is the one that meets the demands of wise dairymen to -day. A seven-day test Skold be looked upon only as an indication of what a -cow may do. A yearly test show e -dearly what a cow can do. The increased production of a cow en yearly test will more than pay for the extra feed and labor required. The eect on the cow herself will be worth more sometimes than the time and trouble necessary to make the test. A cow on yearly test will ac- quire a -capacity for more feed, and will show better Tedder development as result of hetreler Productioe while on test. As a basis of selection, yearly test is the best measure. Feeding and handling cows o01 yearly test is more difficult than feed- ing and handling tows in ordinary herd production. Cows on long-time test should be in good condition be- fore freshening, and shonld have a rest of two -months before starting the year's work, A good ration for fitting the cows for test is made up of equal parts by weight oe ground oats, bran, oilmeal and -corn. Just before calving, change this to bran and oats. • The test ration should be rather Scant. Cows should not he giving their greatest flow of milk un -til a month after calving. One pound of grain to seven pounds of milk is abqut right for starting, A. ration that has given good re- sults -at the Michigan Experiment Station is as follovrs: 300 pounds of ground oat, 400 pounds of :bran, 200 pounds of cottonseed-mep.1, 300 pounds of gluten feed and 300 pounds of oil- meal. If a cow becomes thin, increase the amount of gluten. If the cow drops off in milk floiv, add a little oilmeal, or increase the allowance of roots fed in addition to the' grain ration. Ana -thee ration that 'works well is made up as follows: 200 pounds of bran, 200 pounds of ground oats, 100 ef •eettonseedemeel eacll. day in addi- tion to this wain mixture. Too much ottoneeecnineel causee ebnetipatioe. Altai, cows fed too heavily on this ineterial ffre liable to Sudden changes, Keep mangers clean; remove all feed that is apt eaten. Cows mese he comfortable. Bed them well with Straw. A pail 'of water where the cow can have it at will often adds to the amount of milk. A.11 water should have the chill taken from it. When milk production goes down, re- duce the feed a trifle. There is a point beyond which a cow can not go in taking tare of food. If too .nitich grain is:fed, the con% do not get any good from it. It takes some time for a cern, to become accustomed to a -new ration, as this example shows: A cow on test at the Michigan Experiment Station dropped from thirty-five to thirty pounds of milk a day, in spite of changes in the grain mixture. Her grain ration was changed from twenty-one pounds a day to eighteen pounds a day, 'and she regained her former -production, but it took two weeks' time. The Press -a -Button Farm. Pressing a button- will light the modern farm home, pump the water, milk the ccrivs, saw the wood, thresh Out wheat, separate the milk, do the washing, and keep the housewife cool while she does the ironing. J. C. Britt, a Kansas farmer, has the electric machinery to do all these things, and now his neighbors speak of him as the Mott up-to-date farmer in Kansas. His daily routine is -occu- pied with the time it takes 'to press buttons and to see that the machinery operates properly. Britt's house is a comfortable farm home, equipped with an electric water - pumping system that gives a water pressure the same as city people en- joy. His house has a bathroom, elec- tric lights, electric fan, washing -ma- chine, and electric irons. He also has a number of electric table conven- iences. A year ago when Britt first com- menced changing his farm from a hard-working place to a modern farm home, he first thought of his wife. He purchased the washing -machine, irons, „fan, lights, and other things before he bought any machines •for himself. - His order fax household equipment included two electric irons. Now bis neighbors say that Mrs. Britt uses one of the irons While ber husband etruggles with the other. As they purchased only one electric fan, the husband, and wife dlvide the cool breezes while they do the . weekly ironing. The pumping system pumps the well water and forces it into a large container in the attic- of the house. Sufficient pressure is soared to force the water to all parts of the house. The recent coal- shortage didn't bother Mr. Britt. All he did was no cut down a few trees and put his oledtric saw to work. While he was sawing wood, a farm-hand was busy operating the electric milker and the electric separator. One of the best money -saving ma- chines for farmers, is the electric threshing -machine. Britt' s farm is on a high power line which makes it possible for him to use one of these machines. The electric threshers are owned by a company and are rented to certain groups of fanners. The small machines tan do more work in one day than the' old steam-engine could do in two. The electric thresher does better and cleaner work and has a much less fire hazard than the steam type. It is also convenient, as two men -can easily pull one of the wagons that carry the big electric motors. Br;tt has a large electric arc light in his front yard. Tie and Mrs. Utt are strong community workers, and many social gatherings are held on the electric -lighted lawn. There are a few modern contri- vances that Britt intends to add to his farm. One is an electric incubator and another is an electric brooder. People who know him have propthly nicknamed Britt the "Electric Farmer." In ordee to lay well, a bird must have a eound body, and must be vigor - oils and healthy. Vigor and health are -shown by height, clear eyes, a well -set body, a comparatively active disposition and a good circulation. There must be no physical defects such as crooked beak, excessively long toe -nail' s eyelids that overhang so that the bird can not see well, scaly leg, or anything else that weeild keep the bird from seeing or getting an abundance of food. A laying fowl yeses up the surplus fat in the body, espeeielly the fat from the skin. In yellow -skinned bends this loss of fat can readily be seen by *the loss of the yellow color, The dif- eerent parts of the body tend to be- come white, according to the amount of fat stored in the body and the amount -of eireulatien of bled through those ?arts. The changes occur in the following order: The vent ehanges very quickly with egg production, so that a, white or pink 'vent oil a yelloweskintea bird generally means that the bled is lay- ing, while a yellow vent means et bird is not laying, All yellow -color thatigee are dependent on the feed; coarseness of stiti and wise of bird. A heavy bird focl on an abundance of green aeed or other material that will -dolor the fat deep yellow Will not bleach out nearly so quickly as a smeller oe paler col - area bird The eye-ebog, that Is, the litter eclgee of the eyelids, bleaches out a trifle slower than the versa The ore lobes on Leghorns and Anconas bleach out a little more slowly than the eye - ring, eo that a bleached ear -lobe means a little longer or greaeet production than a bleached vent or eye-ideg. The color goes out of. the beak, be- ginning at the base, and gradually disappears until it finally leaves the front part of the upper beak. The lower beak bjeaches faster than the upper, but may be used as an indi- cation where the upper is obscured by or black. On the average colored yellow -skinned bird, a bleached beak Ineans heavy !production for at least the past four to six weeks. The shenks are the slowest to bleath out and hence indicate e much longer period of prod:lotion theta the' other parts, The yellow flint goes out of theescaleson the `front'of the shanlee. finellY frinn the scales on the rear. The scales on the heel af the shank are the last to bleach out and may generally be used as an index as to the natural depth ef the yellow color of the bird, .A. aleachedeottt shank usually indicates fairlY heavy peoduetion for at least fifteen or tWeney weeks.

The Best Hammer in the . World. Once upon a time a man began to make hammers. The tools he turned out were web liked by those who had occasion to use them. There was -some- thing about them that led carpenters especially to seek them. On -a certain -day siene one said to the maker of these good hammers: "You make a -good -hammer, sir." "A good hammer!" came back the quick kesponse, "I never made a good hammer in my life, I make the best harmer in the world." And yet, after that he put a number of teueh-ea to his hammer that Made it still more perfect and more to he desired. He was not satisfied with the hammer he made to -day; to- morrow he must make a better one. If we could know the truth of the matter, the probability is that he kept eight on making his hammer better and better. That is the Way it is with every farmer who veally loves leis work. Of one fanner we know, the neighbors say: "He is not happy unease he is do- ing something to make his place look better and the land more productive." Ambition always prods men 'just that way. R won't let them -sit down at the halfway post. The world Owes all it is to -day, and all it ever will be, to the men who are deem:wined to make a better hammer to -day than they made yesterday.

When Shakespeare hail finished his career at Tramline he went back to the old home, Stretford, to spend the remainder of hie days. Sir Walter Scott journeYM tD Italy in search of health awl vigor, but got no better, ens only thought was, that he might live to get back to his be- loved Abbotsford The scene as we have it in Lockaties Life is an affect- ing one. As the great novelist mime in sight of the tooland towers of his estate, go great was his agitation that he fell to weeping; but the effect a Isis home -corning gas SC) quieting that in a short time he fell into a restful, sleep. Professor James, in one of his litter books, tells how the sight of the old home transfor.med a young man, and gave him a Iffe resolve. The youth in question has equandevecl his patri- mony in riotous living, his friends had - left him, arid he was red -need to 'beg- gary. One day he sat on a hill that overlooked: the family estate where he had spent his 'boyhood, ancl which he had lately owned. Ha sat thus for some - hours, wrapped in gloomy thought, when all at one he leapt to his feet. He had made a resolution, whieh was, that, the estate should be his again. Acting on his resolution, he at once got a job carrying some coal into a house. He was paid, and then asked: for a bite to eat, foe he had resolved never to spend a cent, even for food, if it could he avoided. He got cin.other job, and followed the same plan. A few years passed, and be bought back the old home. The home that has memories for us is one that hes a touch of nature in it. The dweller in a city flat may call his apartments a home, but they will never have the grip upon 'his heart and his imagination that some old farm house, or some village home has, for the boys and girls who once lived there. The city man will hardly echo Toni Hood and say: "I remember, I remember, The house Where I was born, The little window where the sun Caine peeping in at morn." But the man at the country can say from the bottom of his heart: "Let's go visitin' back to Griggaby'e 'Station, Back to where the latch string's a s hangin' from the door, And ever' neighbor 'round the place is dear as a relation, Back where we mist to be, so happy and so pore!" I read the other day, from the pen of an authority, that the most typical Canadians liee in the coantry. If that seems an exaggeration, it at least is near the truth. The viral community produces leaders in industry and pro- fessional life, because there is a sim- plicity and a reality in it. An author- ity on boys and boy raising has ad- vised city parents to keep watch of their boys after school, and see if they get into bad practices on the way home. He suggests that theboy be given something to do in the house, such as dusting, tending baby, or wiping dishes. Create some chores for him. But the boy from small town or country never needs chores created for him. They .are always there, awaiting his lordship's atten- tion—the wood pile, the wood 'box, the chickens, the hay mow. And these are among his most useful teachers, —N. A. M. Farm Labor ad the Cost of Living In the present farm labor crisis the farmer who is keeping live stock appears to occupy a much stronger position than the crop farmer. A well-ma»aged stock farm affords a better, distribution of labor during rush seasons and has more of it available at other times of the year. In no other type of farming in a northern climate is it possible to pro- vide a steady and profitable labor program throughout the year, and as the costs of living advance this situa- tion iabecoming more noticeable from month to inenith. Some of our 'Meal economists argue that the high -cost of living will force men to rettirn to the farms, but this is a question which has more than one side. The' high cost' of living haa thus far compelled many rural work- ers. to leave the country -and seek steady employment in cities where they could earn good wages every mottle in the year. Years' ego the farmers had little clifficultee in finding day laborers 'when needed. • In fact, the day !borer was at that time an ilnportant factor in rural life Thou- sands- of men -who owned small farms worked by the day. for neighboring farmers during a greeter part of the season., With the' meagre income from their day labor then inantiged to live and support theie families. To- day the •cost of living has reached Such figures that liliebe 'num have feund it inniessibM to live and euenort their families, for ,while them day labor has bronght them MOTS money per day the average fanner bag so mairaged his business act to reclace the inimber of days ef hired labor to the lowese posible leach, dutting down on the numberot days of labor has arced then mon out of the country, The Joss of these day laborers hat made ie neeeseave for farmers to ad. just tlegie business eo that they must depend on their own labor, or change work with then: neiglibots. In either case it lies neceesitated a curtailment in cerEain crops and made 11 advan- tageous to plae eheie farming eo that they could keep facie , labor supply busy at all *into of ehe year, If the farenee is to 'compete suceess- fully in the labor nialetel: he erase eon- : duct his buelness on a profitable basis as many months during the year as possible. As a -general proposition there is more interest for the good farm hand in -caring for live stock than in growing crops for market. The tare of live stock is exacting and painstaking work, but there is less drudgery in breeding and feeding op- erations than there is in tilling the land and eultivathig crops. Another important factor in live stock farm- ing is the fact that it -creates a greater family intereet in the Oates of the farm, thereby affording an incentive for the young folks to stay en the country. . Many progressive farmers recog- nize the attraction vehich god ani- mals hold for the young people and mite* to 11'eby givieg them .aashare in the proceeds. la many instances they have found it profltable to give the boys a share in the live stock raised on 'the farm'each as every tenth pig, lamb or -calf, which id fed by them in the smite' Manner as the others, but boomes the propeety. of the boy who ialees care of the herd or flock.

"I have never done anything in my life," he -said earnestly, "which has given- me so much pleasure and genuine satisfaction as growing yiung y son and his little friends.e This man is one of the new -fashion- ed: fathers who rules with love in- stead of fear; who says to his son, "Do this because it is the Right Thing to do," and not, "Do this because I tell you toe' The new -fashioned father belheves in cleveloping the boy's sense of right and wrong and his fac- ulty of judgment or discernment, so that he may weigh -carefully and choose to do the Right Thing, This kind of father tells hiaboy that father- hood -is the most God -like -gift a man possesses and for that reason it must be regarded as sacred He tells his boy the love-eacle of the truth and not the fear -side; he emphasizes the re- ward of well doing and not the pun- ishment of wrong doing. We tall on every father in the land to do hes father -duty -by talking earnestly and frankly to his sons and daughters on these sacred themes. Lift up before their eyes the Wbite Staedard of social purity—the &Ingle standard of purity for men and %n- ine"). And what -do the boys say about it, those who were told scientific -facts in the army, from -both the positive and negative points of view? One of them $aid nverantly: "I did not know life was so wonderful, Why did not some one tell us :before?" Orie evening at our Y.W,C..A. Hot- ose House in Parie, a former high- school teacher told me this store about he boys, as she railed them: Who they found that she was go- ing over to Prance foe Y.M.C.A. wok, they had an earnest talk among the -me elves and decided that she, a young woman, surely 'had not enough. knowl- ed-ge- of a eereain kind to protect her in the foreign country to which she was ening, especially under war con- ditions. , One of them had teeet elected spokesman and though his message evas not an easy one to voice, he maaaged to- deliver' it to her, their friod -and teacher. She heard all he bad tre say, eileetly, and when he was through and elle still said nothieg., he asked un- easily: "Why clo you not eay -somee thing?" "Why," she responded calm- ly, "there is nothing to say. I have known all these things for years." The lad, in amazement, faced her squarely with the demand: "Where did you keep it?" and then a moment later exclaimed, "Bat that is just like you! You lead us all on up the Hill with 'Come on, boys, the view is fine!' " Do I need to tell you that those boys had been told the nal meaning of womanhood? Could this knowledge have any effect upon them save a de. sin on then- pave to hold womanhood forever Batted? , Some of you are wondering why I dwell on this subject. It is only be- cause I know you: do not all yet agree with me. I still have vivid memories of the times when I have gone out into the -country with my obstetrical equipnient and the -children of the family have been told that the doctor brought the baby in the suit ease." In the shamed faces of the children I could read the fact that they „already knew this to be a lie and the tell.ing of this lie further proved to their ehild minds that somehow the facts of con- ception and -hieth ware shameful. This consciousness of shame mime between them and the pure thoughts every Child- should have when it regards its parents and the new-born babe and thinks of the conception end birth of itself end all whom It knows. All of a child's view of life can be tainted by one worse -than -cowardly lie about the coining, into the world of the human being, One reader of this column wrote to me: "I do wish to tell them and tell it right, foe I do not wish my children to feel ashamed a me as I was of my father and mother," I, too, -in common. with most girls obtained my first knowledge of the great fade of lies in an undesirable way. Slowly I leaned them over again as I studied the sciences at col- lege, 11:14 latee, preparing myself ta be a physician. I teamed still more of UM holy wonder of -life as 1 studied the hunian body itself. I was in a ciao with more than fifty young nien and I cola feel, at our class lectures, how their thoughts grew cleaner as they studied the marvele of the hu- man bodY. Let us gee away front the old and false idea 'that anything ecnneeted with lite, se 'we find 11 in the natural functions of our Wonderful Inman body, has to be banned for or exteiseil ov explained away or lied about! --if you feel bilious, "beadachy.° and irritable— for theta a' sign 3i.our iiver is out of order.
