It is essentially a disease o childhood, and very few escape it. Rarely seen under five months of age, it reaches its greatest incidence be-' Sween the sixth and seventh years. The younger the child, the more serious is the condition. Among the communicable diseases of childhood, :measles rank second as a cause of death, and approximately ninety per cent, of deaths from measles occur in children under five years of age. Because measles is a common dis- -ease, it generally not, taken serious- 3y by parents, many of .whom seem to regard it is an annoying experience -which has tobe gone through, as has *he cutting of teeth. This attitude of regarding measles .as a trivial condition is not justifi- able. True it is that the vast major- ity of ajor-ity'of children who contract the dis- ease recover with no apparent ill results. It is also true, however, that f if b it by h ACRY in the night. Colic! No cause for alarm if Castoria is Wendy. This pure vegetable prepara- tion brings quick comfort, and can never harm. It isthesensible thing -when children are ailing. Whether it's` the stomach, or the little bowels; ,colic or constipation; or diarrhea. When tiny tongues are eoated,•or the treath is bad. Whenever there's need of gentle regulation. Children love the tacee of Castoria, and its mildness snaked it safe for frequent use. Anda more liberal dose of Castoria la always better for growing children than strong medicine meant only for adult use. 7 J' I� OF T11ll 777777. ebt Cat . i1ouctatii tt 7fiaEtnd"t,y ty►,p, awa. ASSOCIATZ sgoai TAidY measles destroys many lives. It may not appear that the ,child died of mea- sles; in many cases it will be said that death was due to broncho -pneumonia. This is correct, but the child would not have developed broncho- pneu-monia if he had not contracted meas- les, Among the children who recover from an attack, there are many who will have some permanent damage done to eyes, ears, lungs, heart and other . parts of the body. It is also observed that the general loss of re- sistence due to an attack of meales seems to favor the development of tuberculosis, and .so we not frequent- ly see that measles givestuberculosis a chance to establish itself in the child, This serious picture of measles is presented in order to cause parents to realize :why measles should be re- garded seriously. 'The younger the child, the more serious the condition, so we should make every. reasonable effort to prevent young children, par- ticularly those under three .years of age, fromcorning in contact with any- one suffering from the disease. It is a well-established fact that if 'children with fever or acute colds are put to bed, and the condition later turns out to be measles, such child- ren, because they have been kept warm and at rest in bed, are more apt to escape the serious complica- tions. This suggests that bed is the place for the child who is sneezing, or `who has a running nose and watery red eyes. ' The condition may not be measles, but it very often is, because measles begins with the same symp- toms as the common cold and in both cases the child should be put to bed. AN OLD MAN OF -1 Quite frequently we read . in the newspapers an account of the death of some citizen, and, as part of this account, it is said that he was anold man. Reading on, we learn that he was in his sixties. In the eyes of many young people, particularly those in their early twen- ties, any person over sixty is old and ready for the scrap heap'. We all know how difficult it is for the man of fifty to obtain new employment; he is classed as old in the labor mar- ket: Is this a reasonable attitude? If it is, we can only say that the human machine is wearing out too quickly. After all, it is not the number of years a man has lived that determines the state of his body. It is the con- dition of his body at the present time that indicates his real age, the ex- tent of his capacity for work, and what his expectation of :life is. We would not put into the same oya! Purple fry Specific Keeps Poultry Free froiriWORMS Mr. Wrrr:. Jarrott, or Brigden, Wrote us a year ego stating that his poultry had become badly infected with worms. We advised him to nae 2 lbs. of Royal Purple Poultry Specific' in each 100 lbs. of Laying Mash for two weeks and. continue throughout the Winter with 1 ib. After using it for three' weeks he wrote us stating that in three days he noticed blood streaks in the droppings, and that his egg pro- duction had gone up 100%. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months. he pur- chased 600 lbs. of this Poultry Specific. We received a letter from him the tatter part of August, stating that he vitas amazed at the results he obtained, that his poultry were entirely free from worms, and that during August of this year his production was 100% larger than last year. It will pay every poultryman, no matter what feed he is using, or Ulm mixes his own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to each hundred pounds of feed during the whole season the poultry are shut in. While this great tonic de- stroys the worms, it at the same time tones Up the birds, keeping their digestive organs active the same as if they Were onrange, compelling them to take from 15% to 20% more good from the feed they eat. This is naturally reflected in increased egg' production. Worzns in poultry is often mistaken for other diseases. The birds become very thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea. When badly infested they Will die. Put up in 30c, and 60c, packages, $1.75 and $6.00 tins, also 100 -lb. air -tight bags—$14.00. For sale by 4,600 dealers in Canada.

JENKINS MIFGE CO.:LTD., LONDON, Olt1T, slew fit 7777, WING/RAM '17ANQ -' 'I Tau class all makes of motor cars; irres- p'ectit e of the care they had had, five years after they had left the factory, No, we would take 'into consideration, to begin with, the type of car, and even more would 'we consider the care the car had received since It had been on the road.. We do not start out into life with equal advantages. Some of us bave stronger bodies than others, The true age .of a man's body at any period of his life depends upon the type of body with which he started life and the care he has taken of it since. Thin casual way of `.calling people old because they have reached a cer- tain age is all wrong. It comes rath- er as a shock to ari' individual when he is made to realize that because. he hal had so many birthdays, he is now considered as belonging to the old age group. He need feel nothing of the kind;;. he is only at the age which he has made himself to be through the care he has taken of himself. Abuses and carelessness lead to premature old age, despite the occasional case that can be reported wheresomeone had lived to a hundred years old despite, the fact that he had done everything which tends ` to cut life short. There is much more interest and value in.a healthy life than in a long one. Reasonable attention to right living and the avoidance of over -in- dulgence will increase the number of healthy years we can hope to enjoy. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian.

Agriculture) Renfrew and Lanark Won Eastern Ontario counties were all represented in the inter -county judg- ing competitions conducted' at the Ottawa Winter Fair on December 2 and 3. The A. H. Acres Trophy, em- blematic of the inter -county Seed Judging Championship of Eastern Ontario, was won by. the Renfrew County team. In the inter -county Stock Judging Competition, Lanark forged to the front and secured the Peter White Trophy for 1930. Too Much Silage. Authorities claim that silage is an extra good feed ..if it is not abused. Two kinds of abuse are to feed too much and to let the surplus accumu- late in the mangers. It 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 will not be get- ting enough nutrients to sustain their bcdies and a profitable flow of milk. Preferably the grain should be fed on t'op of the silage so that it will be eat- en first and then not more silage than will be eaten readily. If there is a surplus it is well to clean this out of the hangers daily, Winters at International Ontario expert grain and seed growers brought honor to Ontario, and to themselves, by ;winning nearly forty prizes ht the International Grain and Hay Show in Chicago. In keen competition, Ontario men this year brought home two championships and one reserve championship, as well as other high prizes in almost every class in which they competed. 'Their. success should encourage many oth- ers to prepare for the World's Grain Show at Regina in 1932. The Ontario Department of Agriculture has award- ed prizes of $50 to each Ontario ex- hibitor at the International winning a first price in any. class. They in- cluded: Mrs. M. E, Maycock, Port Milford, first prize and championship in field beans; Hugh Jeffrey, Whitby, first prize ill Soy Beans; R. F. Almos, Hagersville, first prize in alsike seed. Special prizes of $25 for Ontario ex- hibitors with the highest standing in certain classes (first prize winners not eligible for these specials) went to the following: IT. L. Goltz, Brace - bridge, field peas; Douglas Dunton, 13ratnpton, alfalfa; William Batten, Btlrgessville, red clover; Alex Rettie, Norwich, oats. Mote Schools in Agriculture Early ' establishment throughout Ontario of vocational schools in ag- griculture, adtninistered and operated along lines similar to those of voca- tional schools in the cities, was fore - Cast by Hon. "Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agricultutte, speaking at a banquet in his honor at Brampton recently. "We expect," declared Col- onel Kennedy, "to have these schools in operation in every county before long. We can do it and we are going to do it." He mentioned that the Wo- men's Institute could play an impo- tant part in the scheme. With the aid and instruction they could supply to girl students in these sehoole, any girl would be able, after the three months' tuition offered to her, to cook, sew and minister Bone nurs- ing, The boys would be taught to grow potatoes and wheat at less cost and to improve farming conditions generally. Decreased production costs was one of the Department's major problems, for which a solution was being sought and the co-operation of allcounty councils earnestly solicited. Popularizing Ontario Farm, Products Prizes winners in the Ontario Farm Products competition for Ontario women held at the recent Royal Win- ter Fair, under auspices of ,the De- partment have been announced. Tho first prize of, $100 in a savings • ac- count in the Ontario Government Sa- vings Office goes to Mrs. L. B. Bull of 18 Edgley'Avenue, Scarboro Junc- tion; and the winner of the second prize, $50 in a similar account, has been won by Mrs. T. Milne Jamieson, of Hespeler, Ont.; and the third prize of $25 in a savings account goes to Mrs. A. D. Ferguson, R.R. 3, Galt, Ont. Twenty-five prizes of hampers of Ontario apples and 25 prizes of bags of Ontario potatoes make up the, oth- er awards. The competition was staged in con- nection with the Department's pro- gram planned to increase the demand in town and city for Ontario farm. products. The competition was stag- ed at the Agricultural Department's exhibit at the Winter Fair, and a close inspection of the various sec- tions of this exhibit can supply an - sinless to the seven questions asked in the competition. The Department officials express themselves as being extremely pleas- ed with the results of the contest. Several thousand contestants took part, and the answers given by the majority show that the lessons which 't was hoped to teach were well learn- ed by thousands of town and city shoppers. New "Better Bull" Area After months' of preparation which included census taking of Middlesex registered bulls, Middlesex county has now been declared a "better bull area" under the .provisions of the Cat- tle Protection Act, becoming effect- ive July lst, 1931, Officials of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and the Middlesex Livestock Int- proventent Association were very largely responsible for Having this done. The object is to raise the stan- dard of pure-bred livestock in the county. One of the most important clauses is that only registered bulls may be offered for service and no scrub animals can be sold for breed- ing purposes. Under the 'nclir legis- lation the owner may use his own gradestock for breeding but it is said the new measure will induce many to butcher their grade bulls. Average Crop Yields The final crop estimates bulletin of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture is of more than passing interest giving as it does, the average produc- tion in practically every field crop grown in the past year. The aver- age yield per acre in these crops is given as follows: Fall wheat, 26.7 bu- shels; spring wheat, 22 bushels; oats, 39.5 bushels; barley, 34.3 bushels; rye, 17.7' bushel's; flax, 9.8 bushels; buckwheat, 20.6 bushels; peas, 19.7 bushels; mixed grains 39.2 bushels; husking corn, 59.4 bushels; beans 13.4 bushels; fodder corn, 8,40 tons; alf- alfa, 2.20 tons; alsike, 1.46 tons; tweet clover, 2.08 tons; potatoes, 114.8 bu- shels; turnips, 342 bushels; ntangels, 366 bushels; sugar beets 356 bushels; carrots, 134 bushels; tobacco, 1,006 pounds. In approximately 75 per cent, of. these crops an increased yield per acre, is indicated over 1929, Winter Fair Winners Durham County Junior Farmers captured the Hon. John S, Martin trophy in the annual inter -county live stock judging competition at the Pro- vincial Winter Fair, Guelph, with a tealnscore of 2,191 out of a possible 3,000, Peel County ranked second, Ontario third, and Wellington fourth, Twenty-five counties took part in the event. Peel County team won the Glen Ormond Trophy for the team with the highest standing in heavy horses, In the inter -county seed judg- ing competition for the Fischer Tro- phy, Oxford County led with a total of 2491, closely followed by Durham, Kent and York Counties, The 0. A. C. students' live stock judging cont petition for the Day Trophy was cap- tured by fourth year with a score of 5144 out of a possible 6500, by a margin of 75 points over third year, 'The coinpctitlons itt every class were 14,,,, only contested and the fair proved y1 to be one ,of tlu many years. Iodine for Live Stools According, to Dr, Lionel Stevenson, provincial zoologist, most losses am- ong Iive stick, particularly those' of such a nature as goitre in lambs and calves, hairlessness among hog litters and joint ill in foals, can easily be prevented if iodine is incorporated in the rations of the breeding stock And. ,especially in the rations of pregnant animals. Its regular use is essential during the period when the stock is stabled, as there is then absolutely' no chance of picking up any iodine in its natural state, For convenience sake iodine is ats- uially fed in the form of potassium iodide, being mixed with salt, feed or water. It is quite simple to handle and according to the best live stock op- inion in Canada is a cheap insurance against many live stock losses, As doses vary with the different animals, stockmen are well advised to secure a pamphlet entitled "The Significance of Iodine the feeding of Live Stock" and distributed on request by the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, Toronto. It covers the. whole subject, giving the methods of administration and the particular doses for the various types -of live stock, under various conditions. Winter Care of Machinery Winter care of farm machinery is of decided economic importance and this cannot be effected without a shed for shelter, Weathering caused by snow coverings and continual freez- ing and thawing and wet periods in fal and spring brings rapiddecay of wooden parts and causes metals parts and bearings to rust. This weakens the implements and rusty, stiff bear ings are often a source of costly breakages. Not only will the period of usefulness be lengthened by hous- oat successfu in ing theniaclainery during the long idle" period, but at the time xaf Mtor- ing the mttd and thi;;k grease can be. removed,bearings oiled, shares :and mould boards greased, and lists made of repair parts necessary to put the machinery in shape for the following season, The farmer who has his ma- chinery housed has a much better op- portunity to repair the niachiees dur- ing the winter months than has the farmer who has his machines buried in the snow, Value of the Institute At the annual .convention of Wo- men's Institutes recently, Superin- tendent G. A. Putnam discussed the value of the Institute in providing opportunity for all women and girls in the rural communities to meet once a month on common ground for dis- cussion of problems of mutual inter- est, The Institute was recognized as great rural service club, it made sur- veys as to the community's needs, provided assistance where required, and frequently it provided proper care and treatment for crippled children. Pointing to the enviable record of Women's Institutes,' he declared that its, form' of organization was being copied in many lands and that it was one of the strongest forces to combat the tendency to rebellion against ex -1 isting methods and institutions. The Government was very generous in its offer to provide instructors, because it felt that money spent in this way was worth while. Live Stock in Peel The agricultural representative :in, Peel County reports that in 1929 that county had only 20 fully accredited herds of; cattle. At present there are 55 herds, either accredited or under accreditation. He continues to say that this large number will be increas- ed next spring and accredited live. uk `, sea ler PHILLIPS!
