Unless careful culling is followed, there will not be profitable produc- tion. To ensure the most profitable production, birds must lay in the win- ter, pullets must be properly matur- ed before cold weather sets in. This means that chicks of the general pur- pose breed's such as Rocks and Wyan- dottes should be hatched not later than May the fifteenth and Leghorns and ,similar breeds not later than June the first, and only bred -to -lay strains should be :used.

During the winter of 1917-18, however, sev- eral groups of sows were bred, by allowing a boar to run with each lot. Besides obviating much labor in hand - breeding reluctant individuals and reducing to a minimum the number of "missed sows"—the size and vigor of the resultant litters left little to be desired. In brief, to the manwho keeps only a few sows, and who makes use of a' neighboring boar; breed on the second day, depending, of course, on the sow's individual peculiarities. See that she is in rising condition—not fat, not titin, but in fair fleeh and gaining everyday. If the sows have been on fall grass, use 0 little grain before bleeding. If the sows have been irregular in heat, this will tend to bring them in for breeding regul- arly and within a few clays of one an- other.

The truth is; very few children will because they would perceive the ;e- lation. between well-being' and suc- cess.

(2) Children whose appearance, habits, and way df reading indicate defect in eye -sight. (8) 'Children whose ears 0011 and whose reply to questions indicate faulty 'hearing.

Suppose a table of comparative marks were made out between these and thoroughly normal children, would not the result be a new respect for health and a new idea of the im- portance of it in relation to study and 'attainments in later life? An honor roll should be formed within this club of children who slept with open windows, brushed their teeth twice a day, took 'baths at least twice a week, ate less than a certain amount of candy and drank a certain amount of milk. • With the school spirit thus arous- ed, the homes and the community could scarcely escape—the contagion of enthusiasm.

It is often claimed that the winter care of horses is much more import- ant than at any other season of the year. In spring:, summer, and fall, they are tvorked•ev y day, and are fed regularly, and liberally watered. They are cleaned at regular inter- vals, and tho labor in the open air tends to keep them healthy and vigor- ons, In winter when team work is not needed, the horses are often ne- glected, some'days going Without be irig cleaned, and perhaps going for a week or more with no more exercise than they get While being led to wa- ter. Many stable's are not properly ventilated. The air is breathed over ante over again, and becomes nexeous in a short time. Under such care and treatment 'limos soon become debilitated, A .cold stable is to be shunned as much 'as a badly ventilated one. Horses should not be kept in a dark stable, am where they ere constantly compelled to :]'rice the light, The best way is to have tine light admitted into the stable behind ' the horses. When they are not frequently driven or worked they should have a yard or field where they may exercise. The stalls should be well` 'littered with straw, and the droppings removed at least once a day. In the winter there is no excuse for not cleaning the hooses every day, Our experience has been that e coarse brush is better than anything else for removing dirt from the skin without annoying the ;:animal.. There is much diversity of opinion hs to the best winter feed tor horses. If they arc heavily grained, and also Ted hay, they will prove costly iu11- 01a1s .by spring, unless they have performed profitable work during a portipn of the tithe,'` }torsos that are' kept let by 'feeding pjja�nty of grain will not prove as ell cient as those which have been kept on less grain. - Only as much grant should be fed in winter as to keep the ani- mal in good' spirits 9010 fair flesh, We 11a.vc observed that horses will eat too much hay 13 given the 0ppor- Welty, If there is good clean oat straw it' may be Clod to horses in V' a proper winter if accompanied with 1 op. allowance of grain, ZImvever, sev- eral weeps before the opening of )(yet epring, heyshould bo fed, instead of ..911'a)9. While stable blanketing in Winter hus many advocates, we have never favored the practice. The only time title use blankets is after the }forte re- tains heated from a trip in the cold weather, or if -the allima4 is sick, A horse with proper food and stabling can withstand more cold with less in- convenience, and is less likely to take cold from an omission. to b'lan'ket while waiting on the road, than if ac- customed to constant blanketing in the stable. • - • There is no rule to lay down in the matter of shoeing. Every horse own- er should use his own judgment. But when it is found necessary to pro- tect the foot or to prevent -the horse From slipping when the roads are icy, not a moment should be lost to have the horse propel'ly shod. Don't make food conservation an excuse to set a less nourishing and satisfying table than usual for your: family.

Currier, care tit West, Toronto Treatment of Burns, • Including the Ambrine Treatment. The objects sought in the treat- ment of burns are' the relief of pain, the overcoming of shock, and the re- straining and limitation of reaction and of congestion and inflammation of the internal organs. If burns are slight the principal object seems to be to protect them from the irritating effects of the air. After being es carefully cleansed as may be possible or necessary, they should be covered with olive oil, oe a mixture of Iinseed oil and' lime wa- ter, or thickly powdered. with zinc and bismuth. • Or when these substances are not available a covering of molasses, flour or white lead may be used. 11 is well to 'spread these substan- ces upon gauze :of cheese -cloth and then cover the surface with absorb- ent cotton securely applied. The fluid in blisters may be with- drawn through punctures but the skin must not be broken, if possible. The dressings must not' be renewed more frequently than is essential for cleanliness and healing and great care must be taken in removing them for the process is extremely painful and will retard healing unless dope so as to avoid irritation. To prevent extensive scarring and contraction skirt grafting may be re- quired in severe burns. In burns resulting :from the action of acids, alkalies Iike bismuth •or bi- carbonate of. soda, or chalk muse, be applied at promptly as possible: If art acid like carbolic acid lute been swallowed, plaster scl'alied from the wall or flour or white of egg or milk may be used. If the burn bees been p1.'oduced by caustic alkali vinegar or some other rd1lcl acid should be used as an anti- dote. ' The diet must be extremely simple for a f days after burns have been received' hecauoo the digestive organs are incompetent to do 100011 work.
