• THE INSTITUTE ODE
'A goodly thing it is to meet
In friendship's circle bright
'Where nothing stains the pleasure
sweet
Nor dims the radiant light
No unkind word our lips :ball pass,
Nor envy sour the mind,,
But each shall seek the common weal
The good (of all mankind,"
The above is the little ode, which
is sung at the opening of each meet-
ing of the Weinen's Institute. It
does not, perhaps, rank very high as
Poetry but the sentiment is good.
In the first place it is a good, thing

tads. Life becomes drab and dull
u nless we Inix in social intercourse
with Our ,fellows occasionally. It is
for a" good reason that the Great
Father of all set "the solitary in
families." Then, the seeking of the
common weal is a very commendable
work—none greater.
It may be that many who are not

CUTS
The smell cut or scratch is not dan-
gerous in itself, -but it very often
leads to a serioue condition. The rea-
son for this. can be explained in a
sbort phrase—neglect leads to infect-
ion.
• The normal skin is a 'barrier which
keeps out infection. When the bar,
rier is broken, this affords an oppor-
tunity for the admission of germs
which cause infection and to start the
serious troubles for which these
germs can be responsible,
The germs whieb cause infection
are everywhere, By infection, we
mean the inflammation, pain and
swelling that generally progress to
the formation of the pus.
Years ago, very few operations
were performed. This was not be-
cause the surgeons lacked skill, but
because when they operated, the
wounds became infected. ,
It was Lord Lister who made mod
ern surgery possible by devising a
practical means of keeping the germs
out of wounds, and thus removing the
risk of infection from operations.
Wound infections do not occur in
hospitals today because of tile meth-
ods used to keep germs out of wounds
Before a doctor cuts the skin, he pre-
paree the surface, in such a way as to
destroy any germs present; he wears
sterilized gloves for the operation,
and uses only sueh instruments and
accessories as have been sterilized.
To prevent trouble, , the sleepiest
cut of scratch should be promptly and
properly treated. In this way we
can prevent • the needless suffering
and untimely deaths that often occur
because of the neglect of something
which appears too trivial to bother
abolit. •
There are eertain rules we should
follow, and one of these is never to
put our fingers on a wound. Some
persons always want to stick their
fingers into everything, and by so do-
ing, they are apt to cause a consid-
erable amount of trouble. The hands,
unless very thoroughly =abed, are
almost sure to carry infeetion, and,
therefore, they should be kept away
from eats.
The treatment of wounds which are
at all serious should be left to the
doctor. 'When the skin is broken, it
should be thoroughly cleaned, and for
this, we should rely chiefly upon a
scrubbing with soap and water. The
surface should then be covered with
a sterile dressing which is changed
when soiled.
Swelling or pain is the first sYmP-
tom of infection, and if these occur,
there should be no delay in calling
the doctor.
Neglect leads to infection; prompt
care prevents it!

Cnll Them Out
As soon as the spring spurt in egg
production commences to lessen there
are certain hens in every flock that
should_ be milled out and marketed.
The soonex they ara gotten rid of, the
bigger will be the flock profits. Lab -
is reduced, feed costs are lowered
and the profitable birds are given
more room in the laying house and
on the range. Poultry, also should
sell for more -money per pound in the
early part of the summer than later.
so there -is a material gain in disPos-
ing of the non-productive birds. One
of the simplest ways to cell the flock
is to go .over the birds when they
roost at night. Pick out those with
shrivelled, rough combs and shrunk-
en, hard abdomens. A bird with a
large amount of hard fat around the
abdomen is not in laying' condition.

Treating Seed potatoes
Naturally, the aim of the potato
grower is to produce the biggest and
best es -op at the lowest possible cost.'
This is dependent upon a number of
factors such as good soil quality of
seed, spraying and cultivation While
the importanee, of these features is
unquestioned, very often the prospect
of a -good crop is ruined through neg-
lect to pastatise seed treatment
which is aimed to ',educe the enor-
mous losses and inconvenience caused
by scab, black leg and rhizoctonia,
all of which occur in every provinee
in Canada. The cominonest method
used to treat seed potatoes is the
ForMalin treatment. A solution el 1
lb. of formalin to 40 gallons of water
is Made up and placed in a barrel.
The seed potatoes, uncut, are placed
in a sack and suspended in the liquid
for two hours when the bag is pulled
up and the solution allowed to drain
back into the berme. Then the seed
may be cut and planted,
Make the Meadow e Pay
Ontario usually has about four and
one half million acres of hay mop
each year. In passing across the pro-
vince just befoxe haying one cannot
help feeling that many of these Rem
are not paying the taxes and the
cost of handling the mop. Statistical
reports indicate an average yield of
only one and one-half toes to the
acre and this can certainly be much
improved upon. For the meadows,
good drainage and sweet soil are
very important. Roots af grasses
and clovers are slow to penetrate wet
soils and wherever Gime is a surplus
of water on the soil, air is shut out
and hence the beeterial life is either
weakened or killed. Another paint in
meadow improvement is the use of
high quality seed. If poor seed is

OU May have, woatieted why Puffed V71r.::t
and Puffed Rice are so light and crunchy,..
so meltingly good to eat,
Here's the secret, They are made by an utterly
different process from all ocher ready-to•eat cereals.
Grains of wheat and rice are sealed in bronze guns.
The guns are revolved in fiery ovens. Itt this terrific
heat the natural grain moisture in each tiny food
cell expands into steam.
When the guns are fired, 125 million iexplosions
occur in each grain. Every tiny food cell is com-
pletely broken up, (just as k would be from long
hours of cooking.) Hence every !Article of food
is completely digestible. This is why Puffed Wheat
and Puffed Rice are rated as virtually as nourishing
as hot cooked cereals,
When these grains come forth in showers from
the guns, they've been puffed to 8 times normal.
