The liberal feeding of meals is advisable to balance the roughage ration and to provide the heavy milking cow with an extra supply of nutrients in a less bulky form.

This product now is on sale 111 almost every town and it is :Mean and ef- fective. As ordinarily purchased, it C5 n be reduced by adding water, al- though it will do no harm if you put it on full strength. If one had a dipping vat so that he could dip the anima's all over, the lice would be destroyed at once, but with a Small herd this is impracticable. One could get a bunch of cattle in a small enclosure and spray them with a force pump and have it quite effective. The practical way is to take this dip and a cloth or a brush and apply it thoroughly along the back bone, es- pecially on the back of the neck and the withers clear up to the horns Put it on liberally, end rub 10 10 with a brush. If you do this two or three times at intervals of about one week you will destroy the lice. e Corn and oats ground together, equal parts, make a fairly good ya- tion for brood sows. The addition of one part; wheat middlitigs gives more variety and improves the re - suite ta farrowing thne. Some of the most successful breeders of swine feed sniall quantitiea .'of di- gester tankage along with the grain feed. Al:out 40 pounds of digestee tankage to BOO 'pounds of the 'axed grain feed will insure strong well developed pigs at 'farrowing time. Such a ration, while not a strictly bat- aeced one, will produce the desired -results and the sows will possess suf- ficient reserve flesh and energy to properly nourish their litters. 'Hemet% For Hired Help. Homes are the great stabilizers of civilization. The more adyanced in- dustrial- methods recognize the value of decent homes in 'keeping labor fixed and thus preventing the heavy losses that result iron: constant shift- ing from place to place. As a re- sult of this recognition, many large iedustrial concerns provide neat and attractive houses, which they rent to their employees at reasonable rentals. Such cases are usually ineroly com- mercial propositioes. Honks are provided because it is cheaper to clo that then to suffer' the,losses due to the constant shifting of 'a mord cm less diesatislied labor supply. Simil- arly, during the war, the Gevern- meets of Great Britain and the Milted States' established model towns for the employees of inunitions factor- ies and the results in greater labor efficiency have surpaseecl all expecta- tions. Herein lies one of the remedies ape the shortage of labor on farina alie farm hand, .whether married or sin- gle, whether employed permenently or temporarily, Is, in most ieetances, dependent on the hone sueroundirtge of his farmer employer for the coin - forts and decencies of life. In cases where the faettner knows the difference between living and existing this eystem may not bo intolerable, bet every efficient laborer desires' a home where he can enjoy a reasonable 'mea- sure ot privacy ancl itidependencee Partners would do tvell to learn .faioni the experience of industriel reach:re and provide eirnple but at- tractive ana coMfortable homes, which coeld be leased to 'hired help at a smell rental, or simply be used as a epecial inducement to encourege mar - Hod mon to work on Terms.

One of 'the hest substitutes for a • brOd ilotatqe Poulfzi The market demands vary in dif- ferent parts of the country.. Some markets pay the best prices loi brown eggs and in others the white egg sells at a premium. The.farm- er who markets egg, in small quanti- ties will seldom realize that any dis- tinction is made but it will pay him to keep one breed of fowls so that 'the eggs will all be of one color. If eggs are sold to a private trade it pays to grade them and only sell cartons containing eggs of one color. This gives the package a more pleas- ing appearance and buyers will be more satisfied even though' there is no difference betweea the quality of the eggs' of mixed colors and the graded pack. One of .our customers always liked brown eggsebecause she said that -they appeared richer and more wholesome than clear white eggs. IVIany deal- ers like the white eggs the best be. cause blood rings can be boated in a white egg a little quicker than in a brown egg. an other words, when a white egg is candled there is little difficulty in telling 10 it is absolutely fresh. Personally we think diet either color is very attractive on pea fectly fresh eggs and the main point is to sell fresh'atock that is eithet: all of one color or the other. Blasting Stumps. ro cleaeing cut -over land of stumps, there are malty ways, both economical and expensive, but the results are the same. But the" pocket -book is hit halal if some time and thought are not spent in consideriBg the most eco- nomical, and at the same time the moat practical method. A. number of farmers are using stump pullers, and after pulling the stutnp they find it a hard job to move, part-let:flatly the white pines in clay soils. They sometimes are ten feet or more' across the spread of roots, and it IS a hard matter to move it so that it can be piled. As a rule they leave it alone, in which condition it is as bad as it was before it was pulled. - A method that I have found both practicalfind economieal is .to byea:k it up with dynamite. Make a mud cap \vile= the butt of the stump joins the roots.- Look at it from bottom side and locate a sinall cavity that will hold about two or three sticks of dynamite after having been vemoved from the paper. 1f you cannot find a cavity, cut away enough soil or part of the 'Nets so as to e11 - able you to locate your hole in a hard part of theroots, in the centre. Take clay and pad tend 'make a nest or ring aroond the cavity mid piece the explosive, packing 'it into 11 small compact mass. Two ,.or three caetridges will be sufficient, depeed- ing on how lax& the stump is aed how badly decayed. Now take a piece of fuse about fifteen inches long and prime with No 6 blacitiug cep, place in contra of dynamite and place on top the paper that was used .fov cartridges. Now pile some mud on tele PleatY of it, and pack firmly. Split the end of luso and light powder train and get to a place of safety. Pieces will fly in all divectione and Can be picked up aed used for fnel. Alwaye look Up go as to ctodge. any pieces that come »ear, At all times hose your back to -the stin when firing clyeamite, The above method can be used in breaking bouldos that lie on the grourtd,=C.

We know that enacinia of the brain svtl cause uneonsciousne.ss and it seems to me this must be the prin- cipal factor in produaing sleep. Fur- thermore since the influence of many poisons, .drugs and other substances cirealating in the blood is seen, the drowsiness, stupor and unconscious- ness which follow their use ibis fair to presume that the wasee substances of the body, especially the urea, the poisonoue matter absorbed front . the inteetines, and bladder, and the_ ma- teriel generated by the excessive work of ma:muter tissues which gives us the feelang,of fatigue are all con- tributing faethr 00 inducing sleep. The voluntary muscular syeteen, that is the muscles controlled by the will, is quiescent and rest for the muscles Is essential to life, Like every othev machine; the human' .machine. if worked continuously, soon wears out. People who are poor sleepers do not always suffer severely if they can lie quietly in bed a sufficient number of hours without [motion and without brain activity, -though of course they miss the great boon of peaceful con- tinuous sleep. That the brain is anae- mic is suggested by the loss of color in the skin as the heart slows down and the blood accumulates on the venous side of the ciretriatiom The object of sleep is recuperation, re- newal, renovation. It is relaxation of teese muscles, rest of brain and nerve cells, like rest in en electric battery tor tee tenewall of. electric energy.

The hibernating animals teach us thegelation of sleep to the coneerva- tion of vital force and furnish suffi- cient fuel from their own tissues to Ikeep their machinery in eperatiop , several months.

I suppose everyone starts Out in .life with the wish to be a success. Even the veriest derelict in the be- ginning, without e doubt,. hoped to arrive by middle life to a place where he could take his ease and have an honored name_ein his community. But somewhere alonga,the line a large number lose out. 1 have a feeling that none of them fail through one 'big smash nor that any of the suc- cesses make good ho elle sudden pieoe of good luck. Success or .failure, to my notion, is a -culmination of little things. Little by little success is established, and by the same small things a eareer is undermined. The ancient' writer knew when he wrote, "Take up the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines." It is the little things we must watch if we want to win out. And the biggest of the little things is daily accumulation of knowledge. Have you ever noticed that the really big, successful man or woman is naver above learning from anyone? I have, and along with that I've'imticed that MINERAL REQUIREMENTS OF HOGS Anyone familiar with the feeding of hogs knows that much crude or taw mineral matter is consumed by them, aide from that actually con- tained in the food eaten, and knowe technically as the eish conteet, While a.general statement as to the mineral or earthy ecquirements et the hog may be made, certain abnormalities may appear at various stages of the existence due to a definite lack of some vital constituent in 1111 ap- parently perfectly balanced ration, this lack due, in tuvn, to the abeenco of the required' raineval or salt, in the soil that grew the foods, Here, of course, aepecifie, Teeding 00 roc:aired.

I first noticed this in a young man who started newspaper work at Me sante time I did. He was aright and ambitious and anxious to learn -at first. He knew he didn't knee; anything about the Work, eo he eagerly listened to everything :Anyone wanted to tell him. Ad- vancement was rapid, and by a ser- ies of deaths and resignations he "landed" as' managing, editor at the and of three years. It took him just three months to lose his job. Why? Because as soon as he got it he decid- ed that he was too big to learn any- thing from anyoue. As a matter of fact, he couldn't have learned much as a reporter, but writing a news story and handling men and depart- ments are entirely different things. This chap imagined, though, that be- cause he was the "boss" he must not iisten to advice from anyone, no mat- ter hew many more years' experience they had had. He refesed to learn and he left the paper a' failure. successaa was more medest. ISa was never too important to listen to the greenest reporter who thought, he had an idea that would help the paper. As a result, out of a mass, of useless ideas, this manager got a few usahle ones every week and he is still hold- ing the job. He grew into success, and is still growing', and will continuo to grow as long as he continuee to learn. The law holds true with every walk of hfe. Just now ive are seeing it exemplified in the kitchen. The women 10110 an willing to learn are not having any trouble aboat using the new foods nor getting along with a limited allowance of sugar. It is the ones who never could see any way but their own, and thank geed - nese, their number is small, who aro doing the complaining.

But equally appetizing foods havo. taken their places on the tables of the wo- men evho faithfully set about to learn new ways of cooking and bak- ing. The new cereals satisfy Oho family, and having got used to this way- of baking they don't care whether they take up the old way again or not. But the women who never would learm are in a bad way, 'They min% get the things they want, and they won't Lige the thinge they can get.

Comer Why Canada IVIuot Still Save and Produee. - There are no wheat reeerves in the Allied countries te-clay. Per the first thee in the hietory of the United State e and Cenacla the 1011-18 eroP yea' was ended witbotit reserves of wheat being on hand, The Unitei States and Canada had hared -their bins fa order to protect Greet Britain and the Alliee against possible end Probable increase in the severity of Uma sulanerine menace. This ertabl- ed Groat Britain to ereate a reserve of breads:tuffs thet covered poseibty three or four menthe, but this raceme, is abnormally low. With no reeervee in North America, France, Italy aria ", other neutral countries, the res.ervee in Great Britain are negaigible. The need for reserves of breadstuffs 1.1 imparent The United States Food Adminis- tration Bays "the world will not be safe from hunger" until a reserve of three hundred million bushels of Nvileat has been established. It will require another crop in North America, equal to the total crop in the United States and Canada, out of which another 150,000,000 bushels of -wheat shall be set aside, In 1918 the United States harveat- ed her second largest: wheat crop, about 900,000,000 bushels; • Canada had only an average crop of 190,000,- 000; making a grarid total for the United States and Canada of 1,090,- 000,000 bushels. In 1917 the United States harvested about 625,000,000 bushels ant! Ca.nacla 250;000,000 bushels. The excess in the wheat crop in the United States and Canada for 1918 over 1917 is not large. The et United States normally cOnsunies about 500,000,000 bushels, and re- quires about 100,000,000 inishels for seed. Canada normally requires about 40,000,000 bushels for seed. For the past two years Canada has had two crops that were onlyeaverage. A fairly good crop may be expected next year, but if the United' States has in 1919 as bad a crop as they lie in 1917, or if both the United States and Canada have worse crops than they had in 1916-17, America will be faced with conditions in 1919 which will wipe out all the possible reserves that may be piled up in 1919 by con- servation and substitution. From these facts the conclusion is evident that any conservation programme that does not cover at least two crop years :is of little value, for the boot efforts in conservation may be offset, by a single bad crop next year. Ring, Happy Bells. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow; The year is going, lee him go, Ring out the false, ring in the true, Ring out the grief that saps tae mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring Out the.feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring met the want, the care, thU-sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring out, ring out, my mournful rhymes, But ring the fuller minstrel in. Ring mit old shapes of 'foul diseaae; Ring out the narrowing lest of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. -Tennysen. Ne CI rtt - Rec©r CLINTON, ONTARIO.
