allow the wick to lie in it. The lane

Wiater : For- Cows
Cows producing large amounts of
milk require large amounts. of water
as tve11• as feed. It makes up seven
pints of every gallon of milk produc-
ed and is necessary for all life pro-
cesess. It is said that of every 100
pounds of milk produced, there is
contained, on an Average, 87 pounds.
of water. .The cow . requires 500
pounds of water including that. in
the feed, for every 100 pounds of
milk -produced. Gbod cows should be
supplied 12 gallons or more of water
per day, and should have access to.
it at least twice .a day. This supply
need not be•warmor than 45 degrees
if available at 8111 times, but if only
supplied twice a tiny it should be
warmed to 65 degrees or above. • An
abundant supply of • to ter will pre-
vent digestive troubles and assist in
the production of the maximum
quantity of milk. •
Milk .Market. Improved
Market Hulk has been greatly im-
proved in quality in recent years.
Health departments in many cities
have been applying scientific tests
hi order to protect ,the consumer
from contaminated or adulterated
milk. Milk dealers themselves are
also marking use of these tests to.
.protect the consumer, the dealer and
the careful producer alike. By sys-
tematic testing and grading of incom-
ing raw milk supplies, the dealer is
now able to eliminate milk unsuitable
for bottling and thus to improve the
quality. A Dominion Department of
Agriculture Bulletin,, No. 123, has
been issued treating the subject from
the standpoint of food value, 'clean-
liness,
.keeping quality, healthfulness
and flavor. It explains the import-
ante of these factors, and tells how
the tests are made. From knowledge
of the quajlity of milk obtained from
thesetests, dealers are able to grade
milk and to pay for it' according to
its melee. Local. conditions such as
present quality of milk supply, relat-
ive shortage and surplus at different
'seaming as ;well as 'com.petition at
ether outlets for Mille, innst'be taken
into consideration in any 'system of
grading.
PHILLIPINES` MAY GET INDE-
PENDENCE WiITHIN TEN
YEARS
According to an Act of Congress
on August 20, 1916, the American
people are under a solemn promise'
to give the Phillipine Islands their
complete iedependenee when a stable
government is established.
Immediate estabilshment, of the
Commonwealth of the Phillipine Is-
lands, • under .a plan of ,progressive
autonomy, political and economic,
which eontempiatee Withdrawal ' of
Unified States ,soveriegnity in ten
years, is udder discussion in Wlsh-
ington.' The proposal, provides a
progressive -system of tariff auton-
omy which would by degrees elimin-
ate all preferential duties , between
the islands and the United States,.
reaching 100 per cent in the last
year of the experimental deeade:-The
plan under discussion would .culmin-
ate, if the experiment proved a MC'
00,5, in complete independence` in
1940. .
When the Phillipines are free they
must face in the tinted Stators pro-
tected markets and they must be
ready to protect their own markets.
This cannot be done . overnight, 11,
they -were given sudden independence
they would confront econoinic chaos.
These problems have to be solved be-
forlo the United States soveroignity'
is withdrawn, according to sponsors
of tile action lime before the House.

curbed by United States courts in the
present year. '
Chicago's. action; which has result-
ed in lowering the lake levels with
serious consegeeitees to navigation
through the St, Lawrence canal sys-
tem and river, has been the subject
of many adverse judgments of Unit-
ed States legal luminaries. The fin-
al one was that of Charles E. Hughes
special- master of the U. S. Supreme
Court, who definitely limited the per-
iod in which extraction tnay continue
and provided for ordered reduction in
extraction beginning- this year.
Chicago.. and the State of Illinois,
are filing exceptions to his judgment.
These will be beard, 15y ths supreme
Court on March 12. Before the sum-
mer adjournment of the court a final
judgment is expected to bring to an
end upwards of fifteen years of leg-
al battling..

One of the most:unusual entertainment companies before the public today is the Petrie Quin
-
tette and Constance Neville-,iohns, which will be one of the big- musical attractions of tit's coming
Canadian Chautauqua Festival here. ,
The Petries are .phenomenally popular, and rightfully so, as everyone will agree who sees their
clean, up-to-the-minute programs. Vocal quartets; saxophone quartets, brass and string ensembles,'
are used by these lively entertainers whose programs range from classical seiectitons to the gayest of
popular melodies.: The Petries are pleasant people, genial, attractive, full of pep" anti epiiite and,
they win their audiences the moment they step upon .the platform. -
Miss Constance Neville -Johns is a charming coloratura soprano 'who comes frame far -away Aus-
tralia. She is a graduate of the Melbourne University and Las. appeared in concert, opera and as
soloist with symphony orchestras throughout Australia, New Zealand, Ptaly and the. United States.
PERHAPS AT THE FILMING, TOO.
"Speaking of old familiee,” said
the aristocrat of the party, "one of
my ancestors was present At the
signing of the Magna Marta."
"And one of mine," said little Ikey,
one of the ,patient listeners, "was
present at the signing of the Ten
Commandments."
FASCINATING LINKS IN CANA-
DIAN HISTORY :
Decent visitors abroad tell, as one
of the interesting bits of a tour, of
the visit through Windsor Castle.
There the visitors are allowed to
roam through all the private rooms
of Their Majesties' palace and this
privilege is availed of by nearly ev-
ery Canadian tourist.' One of the re-
markable pieces on display at Wind-
sor Castle is the Queen's Doll House
which was presented her in 1924 by
the people of Canada.
The' doll house is enclosed behind
a railing and is in a glass' case, with
one, side open so that the visitors
may view the many marvels of the
house, It is 8 felet long and five
feet high.. People of Canada are es-
pecially interested in the doll house
bccausc when it teas .presented - to
Queen Mary a :few of the, accessories
had been made a trifle too large for
acconiedation .in the house and in.
the -neighborhood of sixty articles
were sent to the Dominion Archives
at Ottawa. In Ottawa they, are en-
closed in a cense and behind the Case
are pictures of the doll house..
It is a masterpiece of miniature
realism and includes bedrooms, bath
rooms, with hot and cold running
water, nurseries, garage, library,
dining room and kitchen. all furnish-
ed and decorated in most perfect
taste. There are 30 roping' and. over
1500 leading artists, authors and
craftsmen lavished tithe and caro on
the countless treasures containtecl.
In the sloping roof of 'the house,
3,800 tiny old Delabole slates were
used which had been quarried in
North Cornwall, The house is per-
fect in every detail. The elevators
are in running order, there is elec-
tricity and the piano and sewing
machine all acre in order. The grand
piano in the drawing room is a mas-
terpiece and on amount of the tiny
parts, which only a fairy could play,
cost more than an ordinary grand
piano.
In the library are 200 miniature
volume- to which 170 authors con-
tributed. In the King's bedroom is
a portrait of Princess lVlary painted
by Ambrose Mcl3voy. There are
760 miniature waiter colorings, etch-
ings and drawings.
To one whohad not the' privilege
of seeing the Doll's house when it
was in Canada, it is enlightenment
to see the parts which have been
given Canada•. There are two tiny
jars containing strawberrye jam and
marmalade,- which .are so small that
a magnifying glass has to be used to
see what they contain. Then there
is a checker board, a silver tea ser-
vice, a toilet set, an ink stand, blot -
tee, pencil and scissors, 'an umbrella
stand containing six miniature par-
asols, a Bible,' powder puff, soap
dish, atomizer and lamp.
Thesearticles should be seen by
any who visit the Archives to view
the treasures which are contained
therein.
30,000,000 POUNDS OF HONEY
IN 1929
The annual production of honey
in Canada according to a statement
made the Standard News Service to-
day from the Department. of Agri-
culture, Ottawa, is believed to bo at
least 30,000,000 pounds,
The principal ,commercial users of
honey are bottlers, confectioners and
bakers. Bottlers are " the largest
buyers of this commodity and usu-
ally, blend honeys coining from: dif-
ferent sections
if-ferentsections to peoduee a uniform
mixture of color and flavor.
Large amounts of honey are used
by confectioners in nougatines, taf-
fies and bars of various kinds, and:
its use is said to be increasing,
Honey sometimes displaces sugar in
other types of candies, especially
when the .price of sugar, es eompar-
ed .with honey is relatively high.'

Ottawa, rob. 17, (Special to The
Mews Record) Postmasters in the

ada receive upwards of 1,000 requests
each day for senders of snail that
they be allowed to retrieve it from
the post. ' '
In about half the cases an opporr

in the other half, people, on second
thought, decide -the letter would be
better unsent.
Applications, howyever, are doomed'
to disappointrhent for when a letter
goes into the mail box or a post office
the sender loses his rights in it. It
automatically .becomes the property:

Requests for the return of mail
have become so numerous that the
Deputy P'obtmaster-Geineral, L. T.

Postinasters, stating that "mail matter
