Tamblyn of Toronto, is emphatic on one paint. There is no such thing as a "bad" boy, As a member of the boys' work council of Optimist International now meeting in convention at the Book Cadillac hotel, and as princi- pal of the Junior Vocational school in Toronto, ,Mr. Tamblyn knows whereof he speaks. He is "Uncle" because the Optimist °tube have an "uncle plan", under which a club member who gives at least an hour each week in a friendly way to some boy has this designation. "Fail to Give Boys Chance" "We say we have 'bad' boys, but that isn't so," observed Mr. Tam- blyn Thursday. "The trouble comes because we fail to give a boy scope for his activities. A boy who doesn't get the peeper training may leave school and enter some businee's as a messenger. He has more money than he ever had before, but he's in a blind alley. As he grows older he grows restless. "In Toronto the had a survey o'' jails and reformatories, which re. vealed this as the source of the greatest gang trouble.

Every one is an indi- vidual, and is regarded as such, Eleven shops are provided; as in any technical school. The boys also are educated in the class room and through sports, which constitute a third of the school program, Mr. Tamblyn believes that in the order named, the home and love, the church, the school and the business man can make the greatest contri, butions to the life of a boy. Love, fear and anger are called the three basic emotions, But Mr. Tamblyn thinks anger is only an expression of fear. "Fear is a terrible thing in the life of the adolescent boy," he said. "Every one of our 26 teachers is a trained social worker, who can treat these fear problems scientifically. Can't Bluff Boys, He Says "But one thing we have observed. No matter how much special train- ing a teacher has had, if there is bhe slightest hint of selfishness in his character he can never succeed with the boy who has been inown to steal, a type of problem boy. This is logical, because stealing really starts with selfishness. Onc steals because he wants something very badly for himself_ .‘,You. can't bluff an adolescent boy and our teachers must be ex- amples to those they are trying to help. "It is our aim to get boys into the activity type of education at the beginning of their development, be. fore they are actually adolescent It also part of our training to use music, He have found that music is effective in correcting temper outbursts, by having the boys take an active part in musical programs. Aided by Optimists "In Toronto the Optimist club co- operates with our"'boys, but not in a patronizing ways- We teach - the spirit of service in our school, and the club members bring bags of old shoes, for instances, which the boys repair and pass on to institutions where they can be used, The boys feel that they are actually in busi- ness with the club in service." Mr. Tamblyn, who was born near Londesboro, went overseas in 1910 with the army medical corps. lis' served for four years, during which he was transferred to functional res educational work in the hospitals When ha returned to Toronto he be- came principal of the city's "forest school" for physically delicate chil- dren who are given their lessons out- of-doors. Both experiences gave him a 'background for his present work, in which he has been engaged for five years of the vocational school's o s seven-year existence. Out of his knowledge, 'Mr. Tam• blyn believes that "we have just opened the door and taken a tiny peep at the possibilitis for reha- bilitating handicapped children, —Helen C.

CALF RAISING WIT• HOUT SKI1t'I- MILIi Quite often, some breeders or far- mers cannot feed skim milk to their calves because the milk is sold tut - skimmed or is converted into cheese, or, else the rules governing aecreda- tion forbid feeding unpasteurized skim -milk, In such cases the follow- ing system of feeding is recommend- ed, as it has given very good re sults at the' Experimental Station of Site -Anne de la Pocatiere. This system consists in feeding whole milk ue to the age of four or five weeks and gradually leaving out all milk thereafter to feed only good clover or alfalfa .hay and a mixture of special meal made up as follows: 50 pounds ground corn, 75 pounds ground oats, 56 pounds bran, 50 pounds oileake, 50 pounds dried blood meal, 4 pounds bane meal, 4.pounds finely ground limestone and 4 pounds sal`. The calves should get used to the meal, as soon as they areone week old; to this end, rub some of it en the nose or drop a little in the bot- tom of the pail after the animal has taken its milk. This mixture is kept constantly before the calves until the age of thirty days, that is until the feeder begins to cut out the milk, and the meal is fed only twice,a day aft- er weaning. Tepid water is given to ,replace the milk. This system. must be followed until the age of six month::. The calves raised By this method may appear thin during the first thirty days after weaning. The far. trier oust not, be alarmed, for the calves though not fat will be grave- hig good frames and if he weighs the Calves he will •notice that their,' weight increases regularles and they, will anon be strong and of very good appearance, with a lustrous Coat. • Calves raised by this system at Ste -Anne Weighed, on an average, at birth 57 pounds, at one month 91 pounds, at two months .130 pounds', at three'' months 176 pounds, at four months 228 pounds, at .five,, months 280 pounds, and at six months' 333 pounds: NEWS AND INFORMATION THE BUSY FARMER FOR ( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture Prise money for the special class of registered' and certified seed - at the Royal Winter Fair this year has been 'increased to $1,666.

The result of a series of studies conducted over a period of five years show that barley will not only replace corn in the ration, but that barley -fed birds produce larger eggs at a lower cost. This is par- • ticularly true at a time like the pre- sent, when the bulk of the corn -sup- ply for poultry feed has to be im- ported, and when barley is available at the lowest prices in many years. Barley used for poultry should be plump, heavy and ,of good quality; and when barley is fed it 'should be Corn 'Borer in Essex Despite an increase in the infesta- tion of Essex County cornfields by corn borer, County Inspector James Hedrick does not believe that dam- age this year will be heavy'. He has completed an' inspection trip through the county and forecasts a good crop of corn. Essex farmers have co-op- erated beastly in the fight against the corn borer. The borers were comparatively scarce last year, due to dry weather, but the frequent rains this summer have brought them back, Continuance of drastic measures to combat the nuisance is planned. Hogs 'field a Profit An Essex County farmer is mak- ing a great financial success of hog raising at prevailing prices. After selling a shipment of hogs for $2700 he immediately purchased 80 small pigs and 3500 bushels of mixed grains to be used as pork producer, and is at it again. If one farmer can make a success of this phase of ag- riculture there seems to be no reit, son why more cannot do likewise with careful feeding and attention. One fanner in Western Ontario kept exact records last fall of every pound of wheat fed his hogs and weighed them to observe gains. At the time of sale his figures showed that every bushel of wheat fed net- ted him one. dollar and fifty cents. The opinion is advanced that even with wheat at 35 cents a bushel, if pork Vervains at $8 per cwt„ the farmer will be able to secure one dollar a bushel for his wheat by feeding it. improving Poultry Flocks - For the season 1930-31 there are approximately 500 flocks under in- spection in Ontario under the On- tario policy for approval farm flocks or breeding stations. This involves a total of around 175,000 birds. This' policy became operative in the sem son of 1928-29, with 150 flocks, 45,- 000 birds under inspection. In 1929- 30 there were 300 flocks embracing 100,000 birds, and to have this in- creased to 500 flocks for the 1930-31 season shows a keen desire on the part of flock owners to improve their laying stock. Weekly Crop Report Reports from agricultural repre- sentatives regarding crops and live- stock indicate that harvesting came on very quickly. and in many coun- ties haying and harvesting were be- ing carried on at the same time. Yields of grain will not be as high as anticipated earlier in the year, dug to the prevalence of rust, smuts and hot, sultry weather during the season when crops were filling. Pas. tures are in good collation and still growing, A prolific corn crop will he harvested, having shown pheno menet growth in the last two or three weeks. Fruit prospects are ex- cellent, Boxed Peaches For West Orders for some twenty earloads of boxed peaches for Western Can- ada have been received through the offices of the Ontario Growers' Market Council, .according to Chas,• W. Barer, secretary. The Council is making a determined effort to re - Cover Ontario's market for fruit 'and vegetables in the West. It is realized that Ontario lost ground in this. market' through being indifferent to., the requirements of grade and pack. The. Council's commercial represen- tative was sent West -some weeks ago to develop the market for fruit and the present orders for boxed peaches are. the result of his efforts: Incidentally the prices are higher than - could be . realized for basket fruit as basket packing is not a sat- isfactory method to be used for the western market. As a result vari- nus Oritairlo' fruit -growing organiza- tions are equipping themselves to pack peaches in boxes for this trade to other provinces: The Council's slogan, "Better Packing and Better Distribution," is meeting with en- jhusiastic eo-operation by the Ina-' jority of growers.

Pasture For Pigs Sup{nying good sufficient pasture for growing pigs 15 a practical way in : which to effect economy in fee4 costs: As a result' of a, series of tests made at Brandon, Manitoba, the .use,of pasture over a period of years made an average saving of slightly over 100 pounds of :mea' with each 100 pounds of grain. Ev- ery farmer will recognize -that this is an important saving, partieulaily if he has to buy his grain feed. A number of pasture feeds were tried out and rape was found not only to have the greatest carrying capacity but it also proved satisfac- tory .from other standpoints. The rape should' not be more than six or eight inches high when the pigs are turned alit on it. In turning pigs out on pasture the farmer should keep in mind that protection from burn- ing sun or rain is necessary and far this purpose cabins should be pro- vided, For the treatment of skin erup- tions on pigs that have become sun- burned the application of three parts used crankcase oil and one part of coal oil will correct the condition, Rubbing posts wrapped with old sacking and soaked with the oil mixture will also go a long way in' both preventing and correcting sun- burn and in destroying lice. ticalth Service OF THE (auabiatt 11, riiratikiionrittfirtt GRANT-navaiNC: TEETHING It is a common belief that any one of the ills front which the young child may suffer can be blamed upon the baby teeth which are coating through the gusts. The young mot- her is told that the cold in the head, the crying, the restlessness, the up- set stomach or the diarrhoea are all due to teething. Blaming everything that happens to the child on teething is just about as ridiculous as is blaming all the ills which may come to the middle aged woman on "change of life", These sweeping statements are not true and they may cause serious harm because they lead to neglect, At birth, each tooth lies in a cav- ity of the jaw bone. The teeth grow as the baby grows and at about the seventh month, the teeth begin to push their way through the gums, There are twenty teeth in the first set of baby or deciduous teeth. These do not appear all at once. By the time the baby is 000 year old, he usually has six teeth, the number gradually increases until when he is two and a half years old the entire set of twenty teeth should be through, The mother need not be alarmed if her baby does not cut his teeth at the ages given because children dif- fer a great deal in the order and age at which their teeth appear. If the baby has not cut his first tooth by his first birthday a doctor should see him, as his failure to do so sug- gests that there is some condition re- sponsible for the delay, such as im- s•r.lemm+s. Eartbd'br M.O. ... ASSOCIATE SECRETARY proper diet. Teething is a normal process and should not cause any real upset. Many babies are a little disturbed or fretful when teething and their sleep may not be quite as sound at this time with the result that they are not as happy as usual. Again, many babies who are healthy show no die- turbanee at all, and the Mother is surprised to see the white point which is baby's first tooth. Anyi real upset which occurs at teething time should not be blamed on the cutting of the teeth. Condi- tions that arise then should be treat- ed just as if the child were not teething. When the child -is ill, the doctor should be ealled to find out the cause of the illness. Particularly should mothers be warned not to con- sider a dinrrhoea as being of no importanee simply because the child is teething. If parents would realize that it is not safe to assume that teething is re- sponsible for whatever happens to their child during the teething per- iod, many babies' lives would be saved. At the present time, serious conditions go untreated because they are blamed an teething and consid- ered as of no importance, Some of these conditions lead to serious and fatal results because of the neglect which follows wrong ideas about teething.

In this article the data presented are based on the feed cost: alone. Under average conditions this is equal to approximately sixty per cent of the total cost. During the seven-year period, 1924 to 1980 inclusive, the average, cost per 160 pounds of milk from the Guernsey herd was $1.80 during the stabling season, November to May, and $1.25 from June to October, the pasturing season, In 1930 the costs were $1.62 and 97 cents respectively. From November, 1930 to May, 1931, the cost was $1.41, while in June it was 52- dints. The reduction in cost the past two years has been due to increased production, together with lower feed costs. With the increase during thep ash few years, in the ice cream trade and also in cold storage facilities, the spread between summer and winter prices received has been reduced to a narrow margin; for this reason, the profit on summer milk is mueh great- er than it was a few years agd. It important to keep in mind the faet that good pasturage is neces- sary in order to obtain the maximum production during . the summer months. This ehn be obtained through the proper use of fertilizers and care- ful grazing, in order to develop a heavy growth ,of short fine grasses and clover. The Nappan Farm invites inspection of their Guernsey and Jersey herds and also of the experimental pasture areas, H A5 IT HAPPENED TOY U 2 6yP.C.l Time: 5 p.m, Sunday.
