"If you had not come, Bud Lee," she whispered faintly, "I should have 'died, I think," Very tenderly he gathered her up so that her little boots were swung 'clear of the flinty : ground and, she lay quiet in his arms. He stood a mo- ment holding her thus, looking with eyes alternately hard. and tender into - her face. He wanted to hold her thus -ft^alwaYs, to watoh the glad color come back into her cheeks, to carry her like a baby, back across the weary :miles and home. And, oddly, perhaps, the thought came back to him and. burt him as it never hurt him before, that he had once been brutal with her, that he had crushed her in his arms :and forced upon her lips his kiss. He had been brutal with Judith, when now' he could' kill a maxi for laying. fingeran her. o "I have been a brute with you, a brute," he muttered to himself. But Judith heard him, her eyes fluttered open and into them carne again her glorious smile. "Because you kissed me that night, Bud Lee?" she asked him. "Don't" he cried sharply. "Don't 'even remember it, Judith." "Do you know so little of. a girt, Bud Lee," she went on slowly, "to think that a man can so easily -find her lips with his unless—unless she wants to be kissedr He almost ; doubted his ears; he ,could hardly believe that he had seen what .hehad seen in Judith's eyes. They were closed now, she lay quiet in his arms, it seemed that she had fainted, or was asleep, so very white and still was she. He had forgotten that he must carry her to where he could lay her down. and bring water to her, give her something to eat. He just stood, motionless, holding her to him, staring hungrily down at her, "Are you going to play—I'm your baby all day, Bud Lee?" she asked softly. He carried her swiftly away from the ring of boulders and to a little grassy level spot where he put her down with lingering kindness. Ju- •dith; had not been angry with him all these months! Judith had let him kiss her because she wanted to be kissed=by him! He raked some coals outof the ashes, hastily set some slices of bacon. to fry, cursed himself for not having 'brought coffee and milk and sugar and a steak and a flask of whiskey and enough other articles to load a mule. He ran down into the canyon and brought water in his hat, swear- ing at himself all the way up that he had not brought a cup, He put his arm about her while she drank; kept his arm about her, kneeling at her side, while he gave her a little, crisp slice of bacon, held his arm there when she had finished, watching her solicitously. "The two nicest things in the world Mr: Man," she said, with a second at- tempt at the old Judith. brightness, "are half -burnt bacon and Bud Lee!" Then, because, though he had been slow to believe, he was not a fool, and now did believe, he kissed her. And Judith's lips met his lingeringly. Judith's two arms rose, slipped, about Itis, neck, holding him tight :to her. The faintest of flushes had come at last into her cheeks. He saw it and, grew glad as he held her so that he could look into her face. But now she laid a hand against his breast, ' holding hint back from her. "That's, all now," she told him, her 'eyes soft upon him. "Just one kiss for each slice of bacon, Mr. Lee. But --I'm so hungry. (Continued next week.)

The baby is a very helpless mortal. It is this helplessness that is, in many ways, so appealling, but, at the same Eine, it makes great demands ` upon the mother. Breast milk is the perfect food for the baby. The breast-fed baby is the best fed baby. In the breast milks, he receives all the different kinds of food he needs, in the correct propor- tions tions and in a form which c is, easy y for him to digest. There is no artificial feeding : that is just as good as the natural feeding. The baby who is deprived of his nat- ural foodloses something that can- not be . replaced, and he has not as good a chance to grow up strong and wellas has his naturally -fed brother. There is more sickness and a high- er percentage .of deaths among arti- ficially -fed infants. The reason for this is that the naturally -fed infants have the benefit of breastmilk which is free from dirt and disease germs and is easy to digest. It is cheaper and much more easy to breast-feed than it is to use arti- ficial feedings. It takes time to pre- pare feedings, the .materials used must be paid for, and even then, the feeding is, at the best,nothing more than a good substitute for the natural food. In the vast majority of eases, a mother weans her baby without knowing that she is doing the wrong thing. She may think that she can- not nurse her baby, that the baby's not doing well, and that consequent- ly there must either be something wrong with her milk, or that it is of poor quality. She may have listened to some well-meaning but ignorant neighbor who has told her that arti- ficial feeding is better: The truth is that there ane very few women, who ` cannot nurse their babies. No baby should be weaned excepting on the advice of p ngthe fam- ily physician. Even a small quantity of breast milk is better for the baby than none at all. There are many ways in which the quantity of milk can be increase'd, and these should be all tried before the baby is wean- ed. The . nursing mother should eat plain, 'wholesome food. She should take milk daily, and fresh fruits and vegetables should, form a regular part of her diet. The foundation of health is laid by a good start in life, and the baby who is breast-fed regularly by a healthy, mother is given such a good start. Questions g concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. delay upon sweeping new policies to promote new markets, recapture old ones, and restore to prosperity the fruit and vegetable industry. An- nouncements of these new policies in a speech by Hon. T. L. Kennedy in Hamilton was followed by an over- whelming vote endorsing the Somer- set report by the Association of Fruit Growers of Ontario and the Niagara Fruit Growers' ` Association in an- nual convention. Should Hold Samples Ontario farmers, according to A. H. Martin of the Crops. Branch, are beginning to take a keen interest in the coming World's Grain Exhibition which will be held in Regina a year from next summer. Their interest in this big event was indicated by the fact that entries at the Chicago Grain Show from this Province last Fall were nearly double those of previous years. Grain and small seeds from. the crop of 1930 can be entered at Regina and Mr. Martin advises any one who has won a prize ;at Chicago, the Royal, or any of the Seed Shows this winter to hold over their sam- ples for showing in 1932, because he says, it is doubtful whether the -excel- lent weather of last Fall which al- lowed grain and clover seed to mat- ure ature in perfect shape will he repeated again this year. 500 Flocks Under Inspection For the season of 1930-31 there are approximately 500 flocks of poul- try under inspection in the province under the Ontario policy for approv- ed farm flocks or breeding stations, This involves around 175,000 birds, as compared with 45,000 birds when the policy became operative in 1928-9. The increase reveals a keen desire on the part of flock -owners to improve their laying stock. The .flocks are culled and banded by an inspector• and this work is us- ually done by the first of December, The birds culled out are disposed of and those banded are then blood tested during December and January. The blood testing is to determine the freedom of the layers from that cost- ly disease of young chicks known as pulloruzn. Flock owners under this policy maintain a certain standard of sanitation, guard against infectious or contagious diseases and use in- spected or qualified male birds. This is one of several policies tending to- wards improvement' of poultry flocks and of the duality of chicks distri- buted. Survey of Cattle Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy has an- nptritoed his intention to have a sur- vey made of cattle in the province with a view to increasing the produc- tion of milk. Creameries and cheese factories will be asked for reports on the quantity of milk handled by them. and the timber of cattle producing it, In sections in which' production is low, fanners would be aided in ac- quiring bulls having a better breed- iug quality, with a view not only of increasing milk production but Tito - duction of a milk having a higher butter fat content. Early Oats Gain Favour Early oats, such as the. Alaska and O. A. C. No. 3 have been increasing in popularity throughout the provin- ce. In Counties where the season is rather short the early oat is produc- ing a higher yield of heavier oats than the later varieties like Banner and O.A.C. No. 72. The earlier var- ieties mature before being caught by frost rust. Often, the yield of later varieties of oats ,is materially reduc- ed by rust. The acreage ofmixed grain throughout Ontario is also in- creasing, and an, early oat fits in bet- ter with barley, the ' two maturing at the same time. Another reason why some farmers are using early oats is to combat sow thistle, They work. the ground later than usual in the spring and then sow a quick matur- ing variety of oats. The percentage of hull in early oats is less as a rule than that of later oats, and as the hull has no more feed value than straw, the early oat is of slightly. higher feeding value than it the late oat. , Valuable Work for Juniors Junior Club work in Ontario Coun- ty received a stimulus in 1930 when a grain club was organized to assist the Better Seed Campaign as an ob- jective. Registered No.' 1 seed of recommended varieties of grain was distributed and an effort made to get at the truth regarding the value of fertilizer on spring -sown cereals. Each boy also received a fotir-ounce sample of formulin with instructions for treating his grain for smut. The total number enrolled in the grain club was 96,,and the average age 19 years. A summary of production costs showed that 45 boys produced 49 bushels of oats per, acre ata cost of 41 cents a bushel. Nine boys pro- dacecl 32e bushels of barley per acre at a cost of 56 cents per bushel. The average increase in the fertilized plots of oats 'over the unfertilized was 9,4 bushels per acre, and the av- erage increase of barley was 9,8 bus. per acre. "In all our, club work," states Mr. Croskey the local •repre sentat.ive, "we require cost records and field r notes to be kept with the idea of focusingattention on produc- tion costs. The fact that high yields are usually produced at around half the cost of average yields stands out. in what data we have collected," Clean Seed 'Tour. A campaign has been commenced by I. G. McLoughtry, Waterloo's Agri- cultural Representative, to improve the high quality of seed grain in Wat- erloo County. Mr, McLoughtry and J; S. Knapp, of the department, erre visiting farms and giving demonstra- tions. In addition, they will show in each district how fanning rmills can be best operated to obtain seeds free front, weeds, Every section of the country will be covered in the tour. At a recent test. in Toronto only 20 per cent. of 664 Waterloo County: seed sarnples were rejected, and 39 per cent were found to be of the highest quality. It is with a view to further increasing this percentage that the present campaign has been starved, importance, 'of 0, A. C. The increasingly valuable part played by O,A.C, and allied institu- tions in the agricultural life of On- tario was revealed in figures recent- ly furnished by Dr, G. L Christie, He pointed out that there was a com- bined enrolment of 725 students at this educational centre, and that stu dents were inattendance from Ber- muda, Cuba, the British Isles, Hol- land, Japan, Mexico, Newfoundland, South Africa, Switzerland, Trinidad, the United States, the British West' Indies, British Guiana and Australia. •studentattendedho One thousandsst r courses in home economics and agri- culture, while the summer school for teachers had anattendance of over 300. Dr. Christie also stated that 15,- 000 persons had visited the college during the past year, while members of the staff had given demonstrations and lectures all over the province, Weekly Crop Report With the advent of better weather, the weekly crop report takes on a more optimistic note. Fall wheat, clo- vers and grasses seem to be in good condition while livestock is excellent in spite of uneasiness caused by drop in price .for 'hogs and cattle. The milk supply too, is higher than in previous years. In Brant farmers are low on hay supplies and many have been forced to make purchases in this respect. An increasing number of stock in Frontenac are reported to have win- tered well, while in Glengarry milk production is normal with good de- mand for both milk and cream. °&bey reports the possibility of another ap- ple warehouse being built by the Georgian Bay. Fruit Growers to re- place the one recently lost by fire. Plowing has proceeded apace in Kent with the ground in good condition and good runs of 'maple syrup have been encountered. A marked increase in the demandfor alfalfa seed indi- cates an increased acreage in Leeds. The sharp drop in livestock prices has affected Middlesex farmers con- siderably and many have started but- chering to keep up the revenue. Alf- alfa acreage in Perth will be increas- ed this season while a good supply of other seeds is reported.

Thrs 1 lady wants to know about reducing diets. She says that she is told to eat this and not eat that, but is never told any definite amounts. She wants to know how much bread and how much butter is allowed. Whether she can eat potatoes and must she do without cake and pastry completely, Thechief thing to th ng to remember in trying to reduce is, to keep the supply of proteins, minerals and vitamins, and tooreduca the fats until they are practically eliminated. 'If there is no fat in the diet the fat of the body will be used, which is exactly what is waisted. 'There must be some sugar and starches in order to burn the fat. Now as to quantities. Theallow- ance in most reducing diets,is one slice of bread or one medium potato at a meal. The fat is limited to .1 teaspoon of butter at a meal. Meas- ure 1 level teaspoon of butter and see exactly how much, or rathee how. little that is. If' the butter is used in the cooking, that lessens the amount, used on the bread. If there is a choice. between bread and potato, choose the potato. It will stick to your ribs the longer, and make you feel satisfied. Then potatoes contain more mineral than white bread. Substitute a muf- fin, rusk or something of that nature, for the bread, when possible, as they- require heyrequire less butter: to make them pal- atable. Cream is out of the picture entirely. One teaspoon of sugar is allowed to a meal, if you do not re- quire it, so much the better. It is wise to end a meal with a sweet, even on a reducing diet, be- cause it leaves one better satisfied. simple desserts should be chosen. Custard, junket, gelatine desserts, and fruits are permissible. Rich cakes and pastry should not be eaten. If you crave them, try a half portion for an occasional fling, ,,and cut out some other portion o1 your meal to make up for it. Use plenty of eggs and lean meat, Have two vegetables (not potatoes) twice a day. Eat salads twice a day. Use hard cooked eggs on your sal- ads, as they are very satisfying, Fill up on the greens and fruits for quan- tity and use neat and eggs to give you the satisfied feeling, If hunger assail you have some orange juice or an apple, Do not try to take off fat too rapidly. 13e satisfied with from 2 to 5 pounds a month. When you have taken off from 15 to 20 pounds, hold that weight for 3 months before tak- ing off any more, You must not get fatter, but your do not need to get any thinner, Then at the end of that time take off some more pounds, and continue in this "step" method until you have reached the'desired weight. ht.' s g Ilene is hick to you! It takes strong will, but it can be done. A Mild Reducing Diet Breakfast: r grapefruit, 2 eggs, 1 slice toast, 1 pup coffee. Dinner: 2 slices roast beef (very lean), 1 medium sized potato, 2 heap- ing ea -ing tablespoons pickled beets, lettuce with mineral oil dressing, fruit cup (1 mei grape -fruit, medium orange, _ grape fruit; a few grapes, no sugar), 1 glass butter- milk. • Supper: 3 slices cold tongue, 2 heaping tablespoons stewed tomatoes, 3 tablespoons creamed celery, cab- bage salad, hard boiled egg, lemon jello, 1s glass skimmed -milk, 2 ' bran muffins, "What at brakes myastr for meat' P Y pie poor.
