General Observations -ervations
Seaforth has about returned to
normal. All that remains is to talk
it over and tell what a good time it
was.
If, as ,whispered, England is seek-
ing to lure Sir Adam Beck from
Canada, and he should yield to the
temptation, the Hydro System would
be in the condition of a child desert-
ed by its father.

never was a worse example of hit-
and-miss financing. If the Govern-
ment had merely shut its eyes and
slashed the revenue with a knife it
could hardly have done worse, And
it is under such conditions that besi
ness is expected to prosper.
The situation would not be so bad
if expenditure were being reduced in
like manner. But it is not. As a
matter of fact it is higher than it
was during the first' months of the
last fiscal year. With rapidly declin-
ing revenues on one hand and higher
expenditure on the other—where will
the country land ?
In the Budget speech the Govern-
ment assured the country that string-
ent economy would be practised, and
as an evidence -of this it said—"Look
at the estimates, they call for an ex-
penditure of only $400,000,000 this
year against $1446,000,000 last year,"
But don't forget the camouflage. In

then $20,000,000 for branch lines,
nearly $14,000,000 for a bridge and a

Feeding Silage Before Milkhng.
There is always tt tendency that
when green feed is given to cows
shortly before milking that it win im-
part to the milk some odor, and pos-
sibly taste. Titis does not always fel-
low, but it is not considered advis-
able to feed green fodder, silage, or
other strong smelling feeds just be -
tore milking. When cows are turn-
ed into pasture in the spring there
will be developed in their milk par-
ticular odor that to some people is
quite disagreeable. Also cows turned
on sweet clover, and particularly,
those pastured ou rape, or green rye,
will impart to their milk a very
etrong odor, and possibly a flavor, un-
less they are taken from such pasture
several hours before milking. Not
only does the cow seem to pass ou
this undesirabl, odor through her
blood to her milk, but where strong
smelling silage Is fed to tine barn the
odor Is likely to be absorbed by the
milk at the time of milking. For
these reasons silage and other similar
feeds are best fed after milking.
Who Is Kept?

"I keep ten cows," or "1 keep six
cows." All too often they are much
nearer the exact truth than they im-
agine. The statement should be re-

selves two questions, "How many
cows are keeping the at a profit?"
and "How many cows am T keeping
at a loss?" There is not enough fun,
autusement or excitement in caring
for dairy cattle to pay too high for
the privilege. The reason so many
"boarder" cows -are in the tie-ups of
the barn is because few farmers
