The oleomargarine people have had
this vision 'for some time and the.
scientists of Germany have claimed
they could produce a substitute for
aline from, soy beans which could not
be detected from actual eows' milk ex -
rept by careful analysis. Vegetable
oils And the cheaper animal fats can
be produced much cheaper than but-

from soy beans can be produced much
cheaper than cow's mill, consequent
ly, the time is 'coming when economic
conditions will cause substitution of
these cheaper products for the milk
and butter -fat of the"cow.
But another scientist, working
along different "lines, has proved that
a certain element of butter -fat is ab-
solutely necessary for the growth of
children and health maintenance of
adults. This man is Dr. McCollum,
of Johns Hopkins University. By
careful experiments covering the
period from 1907 to 1917, Dr.- 11IrCol-
lum proved there are two what he
calls "protective foods." Without a
certain amount of these protective
foods in the diet children cannot
develop, neither can adults maintain
vigorous health. It used to be thought
that a diet of tubers, grains, roots
and meat could be made a perfect diet
but the experiment of Dr.. McCollum
in feeding various foods to young ani-
mals for these ten years proved that
they cannot develop unless these pro-
tective foods are used.
And these two "protective foods"
are obtained so far as known at the
present time from only two sources—
the leaves of plants and the butter-
fat of. milk. If people could con-

Many people to -day are hailing Dr.
McCollum as the saviour of the dairy
industry because' he has proved to the
world that the dairy cow is necessary
to the -maintenance of human life in
a vigorous condition. The only argu-
ment against oleo lip until now was
that butter -fat was more easily di-
gested than the animal and vegetable
fats used in oleo; it would melt at a
lower temperature. Observing peo-
ple had noticed that young children
did much better when, a part of food
contained butter -fat and attributed it
to the fact that butter -fat was more
easily digested and assimilated. But
Dr, McCollum's experiments indicate
the reason was because butter fat
contains this vital element, fat solu-
ble A) which is not found only in the
leaves of plants, consequently itis the
best argument against the substitu-
tion of oleo.
The medical profession, public
school teachers, colleges, universities
and the reading public how under-
stand this idea and ere spreading the
pospel of truth so it will only be a
short time before intelligent citizens
understand this idea and when they do
they will hesitate before they sub-
stitute oleo for butter, even though it
is much cheaper.
The dairy cow will not be put aside
because we can imitate her products.
She is necessary to civilization and,
no matter what comes, is destined to
endure. When the people under-
stand the importance of butter -fat in
a diet, especially children's, they will
be willing to pay a sufficient price fol;
whole milk and butter -fat, so that the
dairy industry cannot be driven to the
wall by cheap substitutes.

The farmhand conies in for consid-
erable discussion nowadays, but he is
much better ,off than most people
think, The Council of Defence of the
State of Ohiohasbeen making a sur-
vey of labor conditions, and reports
that a married man working• on the
Farm for 830 a month is as well off as
if he were -to receive :1105 in a city;
that a $36 a month farm job equals a
8110 city job; that a 840 'farm job
equals a 31135 city job, and so on,
"Not taking into consideration," the
report adds, "the -possibility of raising
some stock or produce on shares,
which is usually customary."
Nor has the married plan on the
farm job a monopoly of advantages,
fm the report further finds that an
unmarried farmhand receiving 825 is
as well off as if he were receiving 880
in the city; that a 830 job for the
bachelor farmhand equals a $90 city
job; and that a 840 job on the farm
is as good as a 895 job in the city, and
so on. The difference in aggregate.
•returns is brought about by house
rent, groceries, meat, mill:, light, fuel,
unnecessary expenses, and luxuries.
A few reports like this regarding
e
oldiii nsin'Cal
ads would have good
effect
in turning the tide back
toward
the land once the war is over. For
the last three or four years it has
been running cityward strongly. As
city labor was taken for the army, for
the shipyards, or in the natural course
of advancement, farm labor has been
called upon to make up the deficiency.
Waegs are :advancing as at natural re-
sult, so that the farmhand who receiv-
ed 825 or 830 a few years ago is now
drawing down his 840 every month—
es good, the Ohio investigators say, as
895 or 8115 in the city, depending on
whether the man is married or not.
Some day Canada is going to take
the' steps necessary to enable the
farmhand and the farm tenant to,
secure farms of their own, The help,
may come in the way of advance loans
on land, stock or machinery purchased,;
or ie grants to soldiers returning
from war service. It is inevitable'
that it is coming. When that time
comes the farmhand will loom larger;
00 the industrial and economic hori-'
eon then ever before, and he is no
inconspicuous figure even now.
In the meantime the duty devolves
upon him of giving good service and.
saving every penny for the opportun-
ity which will undoubtedly be his in
the near future.
' Canada's Answer.
"'The Canadians have made for
themselves an imperishable name in
the history of au•ms; they have been
associated with many of the most
glorious passages in the record of the
war, and there is no force lighting for
the Alliance which has a richer share;
of honor," says the London Telegraph.;
"Vow: years ago Canada had an
rimy of barely 8.01)0 men. Since ther
100,000 men have crossed the sea to ,

This is also the period of rheuma-

In this period, also are the diseases

ance of frequent calls to evacuate the

and other disagreeable symptoms.
Sometimes these things can be pre-

they are penalties for past sins which
may not be escaped and the best you
can do is to watch them and try and
make the symptoms as mild as pos-

POISON OR POETRY?
r
By LouiseWhite a s W it Vi atson
Quite recently the question was
agitated at a teachers' conveal:ion as
to the advisability of teaching litera-
ture that is "over the pupils' heads,"
Much discussion, pro and con, fol-
lowed.
What is there that is good that it
not over our heads? The stars,
heaven's promises, God himself! At
what age, then, should these subjects
he brought forward? We all know
that the earlier beautiful impressions
are made; the more indelibly will they
be imprinted on receptive brains. Fill
the mind with the beautiful , if you
would. crowd out the evil! For it is
when youth's pennant is flying that
the teacher is enabled to plant for a
lifetime.
An instructor in one of the middle
grades recounts her efforts to incul-
cate into the minds of her children
some of the masterpieces of Shake-
speare. She wisely eliminated all
acts and scenes making g fascinatin g
stories of the plays. In a very short
time they were familiar with the dif-
ferent plots and characters, and most
Apt with many applicable quotations.
Memorized then—though over their
Meads—the children retained the
quotations for years, probably for a
lifetime. Was that teacher gratified
with her after -harvest, when she
learned that many a dance had been
refused that a "feast of. Shakespeare",
might be substituted? Truly!
Every morning during school ses-
sions, that teacher wrote on the
blackboard some beautiful selections
from different authors. Five mi-
nutes before dismissal for the clay,
two or three slips were drawn from
the pile containing the names of the
different pupils. Those whose names
were driarivn recited the literary gems!
Ithough there was no place in the
course of study for this period, she
ma n And that without
made one. Ainter-
fering perceptibly with the daily pro-
gram. Once a child learns the
beautiful, rhythmic, swinging lan-
guage of the world's sweet singers,
the thirst has been created that will
never again be satisfied save from,the
same source.
A lady was obliged to spend some
time in a little wayside station. It
was simply an open shed, but it com-
manded a beautiful view, satisfying
in its blissful promises and restful to
overtired eyes. While waiting sho
lured hack into the little shed where
her attention was caught by numer-
ous writings on the painted walls.
Curious as to whether they were up-
lifting or the opposite, she made a
tour of the shed. Obscene language
met her eye in every direction until,
soul -weary, she turned again to the
grand outlook, the hopeful uplift.
Here again her attention was arrested
by seeing two different handwritings.
One was a regular scrawl; the other
directly underneath, was- neatly pen-
ciled. She drew near. The first was
most objectionable; the other rend:
"Count that day lost whose 1o15 des-
cending sun
Views from thy hand no worthy action
dole!"
An opportunity had been given—
that of passing a thought o1 to anoth-
er; but hew differently it was used.
One person had been taught the
beautiful; the other had been fed on
husks! Whose fault was it? Was
it yours, teacher? Was it yours,

The Italians have manufactured a
substitute for sugar. It is derived.
from grapes by evaporating the juice.
It is said to be particularly valuable
in the preservation of fruits, ..._-..
The .French Department of Agrieul-
ture reckons that a toad is worth 30;
a lizard, 89; a swallow, 820; a tit-
mouse, 88; as robin, $9; a bat, 8:30; an
owl, 812.
All the refuse of crops that are
through fruiting should be burned as
500n as dry enough, Cabbage
stumps, cucumbers, melons, temetoes
and the like should not be left to de-
eay.
The strawberry bed still needs culti-
vating. Keep busy until the ground
freezes. Light frosts do not count.
September Is housecleaning month
in the garden, and a good cleaning up
•there is just as necessary as in the
house. The most important thing is
to prevent weeds going to seed.
To control white grubs, plow the in-
fested soil deeply before October 1,
and while plowing turn the poultry or
hogs into the field to destroy the
grubs.
Lay aside the apples that fall off
when you are picking and do not put
them in with the first -grade fruit,
Tore slightest bruise will. shorten the
keeping qualities.

Did you forget to cut out and burn _
the blackberry and raspberry ettnes
i that have fruited? Better now than
never:
A. recent Swiss decree provides for
compulsory crop production by all
ti'n withthe 1 14 acrea • as
land 01 ens 9 acreage

fail to deliver the required amount in-
to the hands of the authorities must
pay four -fold the maximum price as
indemnity for their deficiency. (401
Ripen late tomatoes by pulling, th `-
vines and letting them he with the
fruit o1 in a cool shed or in the base-
ment. Many of the fruits will rip-
en. Cover the vines in the garden
with blankets when frost threatens
and you may be able to save then
for a week or two.
-When frost has touched the tube-
rose, elephant's -ear and Madeira vine,
take up the bulbs and store them.
When dahlias and caring are frost-
bitten, cut off the tops, leaving about
six inches of the stems. Remove the
roots in a clump with dirt attached.
Spread roots out in the sun to dry,
then store in a• dry, well -ventilated
cellar, on the floor or on shelves. Keep
the varieties labelled.
\\reevils may be killed in beans and
peas by the use of carbot bisulphide.
To treat these put them in a jar, tub
or other vessel which 0511 be covered
tightly. Put into a glass about
one
tablespoonful of carbon bisulphide
for each ten gallons of space in the
enclosure, and place the glass in with
the beans. Allow them to remain in
the fumes of the carbon bisulphide
over night, then take them out and
place in dry storage quarters. Do
not take lamps or lighted matches
near the material, and do not breathe
the fumes.
A thick slice of ripe tomato, it !s%
said, placed over an ink spot on white
goods will remove the spot, and peach
statins wet with cold water spread
thickly with cream of tartar and
placed in the sun will disappear.
