At moderate speeds, the surface remains in place. At higher speeds a portion of the surface is displaced by the friction of the wheels. The higher the speed, the more material -is displaced. The speed limit exists in the law, to- save the surfaces of roads, as well as to prevent accident, Because the highway is clear, you may think the law may be broken. This is a mistake. There is always danger of damaging the road by excessive speed. The material which is displaced each year by. auto- mobiles driven too fast would weigh hundreds of tons. The repair work made necessary costs thousands of dollars. The public of Ontario have spent $160,000,00.0 to make roads easier and safer for you to travel on. The law seeks to preserve from accident those who use the roads, and to conserve the roads. themselves. The Government requests the co-operation of ,yourself • and every other automobile driver in maintaining the condition of the roads. Take.pride'in, the highways of Ontario, You are interested, for they are yours. They. are being main- tained with your money. While the Government relies on the goodwill and co- operation of the great majority of motorists, notice is given that th&enforcement of The Highways Act will be all the more rigorous in the case of those who disregard the law and this request. .e, An advertisement issued by the Ontario Department of High- ways to secure the co-operation of motorists and truck drivers, Automobile Clubs, Good Roads Associations and all other public spirited bodies, in abatin( the abuse of the roads of the Province.

In the construction of the animal body some ten principal minerals are used. This seems a lot, and when we look at a cow or a pig, nothing of a metallic nature is in view unless it is the ring in the pig's nose. Minerals are reduced' to fortes that the layman cannot readily recognize, by various processes before they are used in Master Gordon Morrison of White- body building. When we see a roast church, is spending his holidays with of beef on the butcher's block we do his aunt, Mrs. Percy Graham, Shep- not think of it in terms_ of hydrogen, oxygen, calcium, phosphorus, iron, pardton. etc., unless we have a knowledge of chemistry. To the majority it is just beef and that is as far back as their thoughts go. But to the man on the land who makes his .living producing food animals it is something more, -He has had experience some time dur- ing his,feeding operations, with ani- mals that lacked thrift, did not de- velop properly,bones weak, small, crooked, and joints malformed. The experiencedfeeder knows that salt is essential to the well-being of his animals, so he provides it. In doing so two of the necessary min,. erais, sodium and chlorine, find their way to the structural units of the body. The experienced feeder knows that blue grass grown on limestone iinds is different from other blue grass, in that it provides . something that aidsvery materially in building &strong bony structure for the young animal, Recognition of Mineral Deficiencies. 1. Iodine. -=Big' neck or goitro"in new-born calves, lambs, foals and dead hairless: pigs indicate that this mineral element was not present in ,quantity sufficient ' for normal de- velopment. 2. Calcium and Phosphorous.— Rickets in young animals, paralytic' condition of the joints of either fore or hind limbs, weak legs, and soft- shelled eggs in chickens, and low milk production are common condi- tions where these minerals are not supplied in sufficient quantity. '"Feeds Rich In Calcium (the bone maker)—Alfalfa, Red Clover, Tank- age, Dried Milk' products, Skimmilk, Buttermilk, Whey. Feeds Poor In* Calcium. -Cereal grains, roots, Timothy hay, cereal straws. Feeds With Calcium in Moderate Amount.—Dried beet pulp, corn sil- age, corn fodder. (a) Calcium can be ,suppled by feeding steamed bonemeal, raw rock. phosphate, whiting, chalk, air -slacked lime, limestone, marl, or wood ashes, in quantity sufficient to supply the need along with the.daily ration. (b) Phosphorous can be supplied best by using phosphorous rich- food as bran, linseed • meal and tankage, or by using raw rock phosphate floats in conjunction with calcium. Steam- ed bone meal can also be used.. (c) Iodine can be supplied by us- ing sea salt from which the iodine has not been removed on by using the commercial iodized salt. Method of Feeding Supplemrients. Tho quantities required are not large. For animals at pasture a self feeder is the only practical ;method, For stall -fed animals the Ingredients can be mixed and given with the. daily ration, where calcium and phosphor- ous alone are required such can be supplied by mixing 'steamed home meal, marl and salt. If 'iodine alone is required a?psolution made of one ounce of iodine to one gallon of water can be made up and one tablespoon- ful applied daily to the feed of each animal. 'If the milk yields are low, and the cows chewing bones, look to the min- eral content of the feed and make adjustment. If the pigs are crippled, with swollen joints and defective bones,( look, to. the mineral content! of the feed. If the hens are laying soft-shelled eggs, look to the mineral content of the food. You aro the one that supplies the feed. The cow shut up in the'`barn yardand the pig in the high -walled pen are your prisoners; it is up to you to provide what their bodies nerd, or let them go out to nature and find it for themselves.—L. Stev- enson, tevenson, Dept. of ,Extension, O. A. Col- lege, Guelph. , To Keep Pests From Small Fruits. No good excuse can be given by anyone as a reason for losing a crop of currants or gooseberries because • of mildew or worms. Limesulphur at summer strength as for apples or Bordeaux applied when the leaves first appear and at intervals of two weeks thereafter until the fruit is half grown will control mildew. Add two pounds of dry lead arsenate to 100 gallons •of spray and you can control the currant worms at the Same time. If plant lice or aphids show up give them a dose of, nicotine sulphate at the usual strength on the first appearance of the pests. It worms appear after the fruit is half grown use fresh white hellebore in- stead of lead arsenate. Burning by Paris Glreen Spray.

A great many Chinese cities, he said, were controlled by foreigners, and foreign residents in China were amen- able, not to Chinese laws, but to those of their own country. The substance of the claims of the tribes was "China for the Chinese," . • The music and missionary stories contributed by the bands were excel- lent.

What This Country Needs Here's the way an American con- temporary sizes up the need situation: "What this country, needs is not a new birth of freedom, but the old- fashioned two -dollar lower berth; What this country need isn't liberty, but less people whotake liberties with our liberty. What this country needs isn't a job for every man but a real man for every job. What this country needs isn't to get more taxes from the people, but for the people to get more from the taxes. What this country needs is not more miles of territory, but more miles to the gall; on., What this country needs is more paint on the old places and less paint on the young faces. What this coun- try needs isn't a lower rate of inter- est on money, but a higher interest in work." 0 BELGRAVE Mr. and Mrs. Caspell of Cleveland, are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Geddes. Look To Your Lights The police of all the .cities and towns in Ontario have been given in- structions to take the numbers of all motorists who are guilty ofan of- fence against the "glare" laws, re- cently put in force. The Highways department have issued booklets giv- ing motorists instructions of how to adjust their,lights and these may be had for the asking. The chief pro- vision of the Motor Vehicle Act is to the effect that no ear shall project any dazzling light high enough to in- terfere with an approaching driver. Large objects at a distance 'of 200 feet should be clearly revealed by the headlights, but the law requires that no glaring shall be projected above the 42 -inch line. ZERO IN METHODS OF EARNING A LIVING! A first glance at this picture would indicate that it's one of a man doing his (kindest to break his neck. But that fellow with the camera in the window , below at the left—gives the story away. The j hoto shows Frank Gish— known as the Hungarian "Douglas Fairbanks"- rnaking a dariiiig leap from a window on the sixth floor of a Broadway building to the roof of a near -by building, several stories be- low. The areaway he cleared in mak- ing the thrilling leap was some twen- ty-five feet wide. It was a stunt that fairly took the breath away from those who watched the performance. Gish is soon to make his debut in American films and this jump was merely one of many hazardous stunts he has undertaken to keep in trine. He can do it --4f he wants to. Most everybody else will just about agree that his job is --"zero in methods of earning a living!"
