The word vitamin itself hadn't even' beencoined when the first Model T flivver rolled' off the assemlbly lime at Ford's. Yet in less than twenty years these 'fantastic A's, B's, and G's have done more than any other thing to boast the dairy industry to the top. I'Ps un- canny how these little •C's, E's and X's are changing the eating habits of millions. Nolw the lab Wren are on the verge of ditching the ,A's, B's, D's they've had to call the vitamins because they didn't know enough about them to give them decent chensical names. 'They're proving that quantities of crystals of pure Vitamins hardly en- irh to tilt the hear of the most del- tca te chemicalbalance are enoughh to ,nean the difference between life and death, not only for animals but for human beings. If such tiny quantities of lab -made crystals can turn no -account proven- der into -foods that are life -guarding, haw long are we going to have to keep en growing all we eat? Aren't We right now in a revolution that may turn agriculture topsy-turvy? A peculiar kink about .vitamins kept the chemical professors from stumbl- ing onto them. The trouble with a vitamin' is that you only know about it when it ain't there, .Microbe's were tough enough for the doctors to be - hive in. It was -ridiculous to think of ( bug a thousand times smaller than *the eye' of a louse being able to bump off a beast as .big as an elephant. But 'this vitamin idea was Still` more im- :possible. HHerewas food absolutely complete according to the highest -brow chemist with plenty of protein, cadbohydrate, fat and salts. But the parer you got it, the gaunter, sicker, your beasts got when they ate it. I!t took the profess- ors thh{ty years to get ,it into their heads that it was for lack of some tiny :contamination they'd purified out, for avant of something thiat wasn't there, ttha;t their animals„ starved though they were eating plenty. (Old S. M. Babcock sa'w through the whole business .way back in the 'eighties, and roared and laughed and kidded the feeding professors about their balanced rations, but the Wis- ,consin' university authorities thought his experiment was nonsense, and ab- solutely refused to give him any cows. At least not until - the old 1Duitch chemist, Pekelharing, stole a an'areh on him. This Netherlandish prafesstor baked up a wholesome bread out of casein, altbunvin,'nice 'flour, lard and s'al'ts. Ha fed it to mice with just enlough :ester to wash it down. First, they liked it. Then they got bored with it. In four weeks 'they'd all turn- ed up their toes and died, Bu't when IPekelhaning ltt mice wash dawn that bread with a little milk instead Of wa- ter, they stayed perfectly chipper, though that milk didn't add enough ,calories to make anydifference at all, 'Then out of a Strange new white - sat husbandry on this continent, it be- gan to be plain that the magic in old iPekatharing's mine was tied up to the butterfat part of it. Where a white rat's proteins, salts, sugars came ,from didn't so ,ranch matter—but if his Ifatt wasn't butterfat he refused absol- utely to grow. That very sure year'tlwo Yale pro- fessors chaperoned a flock of white rats on the salts, proteins carbohy- drates of Pekathering's life-giving nn'ilic. 13e't they,golt saving and suhsti't- • uted lard for the milk fat. Wasn't fat just fat? Alas. The beady pink eye's o,f those rats got sore, stuck shut, went blind, The professors fooled round vainly trying toeye-doctor these rats with an''iseptics. But when thein d'iet'tplain' that n'obody had to halve' out - and -ort scurvy so long as it was easy to got at fresh vegetables and fruit juice.

Solemnly squinting at tihe births„ inatings, slqueallinlgs, dyinigs of 'thousands of white rats, chemists tried Ito ftnd 'cult just what it was in butter, cold -liner pill, green leaves, t'halt so strangely controlled rat destinies. • (lit was fantastic how immensely. little of this A your rat needed. A siteth-1rh!os s!agdlb'h of an ounce of cod- liver oil a day in his diet made all the difference between a clear-eyed bounle- in'g ibeast and one that was bronchitic,. dying. The whole magic hid in the oneetwentieth of the oil that remained after you've saponified. all the fat out of :it. Metter than twenty years before ev- er there was such a word as vitamin, tEijleman the Dutchman, of Batavia, watched pigeons turning incessant cartw4heels baokward on 'their way to death from a weind disease that's now known to come from lack of Vitamin IB. Iit goa4ced itself into :bhe Dutch man's, head that his pigeons' -book slomers'aul•ts looked mighty much ike the terrible human nerve trouble— beriberi. iEi'jkman's pigeons, back-Iflitp!ping to their doom, were .eating nothing but polished rice --nailed free df the silver skin.

But now iEijlema'n added the silver skin that had been milled off the rice back to the po'l'ishednice diet of those pigeons. They stopped turning cartwheel. They got back their appetites, Eijle- man thought., he'd simply fedi a too high starch diet, but what he'd done was to spot Vitamin B fifteen years before the professors were ready. (There's nevera doubt that the blindness that comes from low vita- min A and the beriberi from low vita- min B are only,the dramatic •ex'tremes of a smoldering but widespread =al - nourishment, ,Four hundred years ago the French- man Jacques Cartier came sailing up the St, Lawrence with his ship full of sick sailors. They were pale and short of breath. Their gums were swollen and their teeth were loose, and the slightest bump raised black and blue spats on their legs. Twenty-six of then. died of scurvy. The remnant of these voyageurs' was saved by drink- ing a tea brewed out of pine needles, That was the real but anonymous and unscientific discovery of vitamin C-xh'ree hundred and seventy-six years before the Norwegian Hoist, gave' scurvy to guinea pigs by feed- ing thew nothing but bread and so made the business scientific. F1.•esh ca;bibage cured those loose toothed, sore -mout'h'ed guinea pigs. But, a hun- dred and sixty oddyears before this scientific experiment of 'I1911i2, an Eng- lisbh ship's dladtor proved he could save sore -mouthed sailors from dying by orange and lemon juice. Until very recent'ly, Hoist's vitamin C guinea- pig science got shoved into a corner. 'In the first place, it was perfectly EXTORTION 'CHARGED (Changed with attempted extortion a young married couple of the Tor- rance district, Glraver hur+slt, have been sunernonsed before' the court, Backed by the evidence of iinlp'brted hand- writing experts wlhlo have been quietly examining documenits add o'l'd letters for weeks, Provincial ,police will en- deavor to prove that' this pair, in Oc- tober, alt tine very time when 20 -year o'ld Charles Mlainlprwce of Toronto was dying dead at the bottom of Lake Mus.'. leelea, wrote `the b'oy's, grief-stricken' father claiming they had the son in confinement and would guarantee his safe return for 415,000.

Too Much Silage Authorities claim that silage is an extra good feed if it is not abused. Two kinds 'of abuse are bo feed too much and to let the surplus accumu- late in the mangers. !Pt should ,not be forgotten that silage is largely water. If the cows are encouraged to cram themselves with silage at the expense of grain and hay 'they 'wi'llnot be getting enough ntitrien'ts to sustain their 'b'odies- and a prec:table flow 'of milk. Preferably the grains should he fed en :ro•p of the silage so that 1t will be eaten (first and then .not more sil- age than will be eaten readily.
