These are: a milk stale, preferably of the eircular-dial, -twohncltype; milk palls all. ef the same weight, a milk sheet propeely ruled for days, or three days a month weighing for eaeh cow; and a lead pencil attaehed to the milk sheet for conve.nience.

The milk scale can be bought from any dairy supply house at a cost of from ss to $6, and when properly cared for, will last 25 years. It should be kept dry, oiled occasionally, and not be subjected to heavy I,oads. It should be used only for milk weighing purposes.

This is especially true where milk is sold on the fat -basis. To app-ly the results: Suppose a cow has given 930 lbs. of milk during the month, and her milk tests 3.6 per cent. fat. She will be exedited with 930x 3.6 plus 100 equals 3348 pounds fat, er nearly 40 lbs. of butter for that month. (Vrhen calculating butter from fat, add one-sixth to the pounds of fat.)

The risk of being struelc by light- ning is five times greater in the coun- try than in -cities, and twenty times greater at sea than on a railway. Four hours' hard thinking exhausts the tissues as Imola as .ten hours of manual labor. ' The etrong pigs in the litter never lose their start cm the smaller ones. it ie these larger ones from which we get the goatee profite. A eret deal depends au the eonditien of tile sow* whether she will prodeee good strong pigs and feed them well, .or a litter ef weakli,rigs and then 'lave nothing • for them to at; whether her system is nice and eool or feverish and hot in the one ease the slew will be good-natured and let the pigs sick, and wfii furnish plenty of milk; in the other, fretful and peevish, the chences are that she eat her Pigs ae soon as born, if sh.e gets a chance. All these conditions depend very largely, if not entirely, upon the way the sow is treated and fed during peegnancy. It is an almost unheard aocuerence for a breed sow, running out on good pasture, to eat a pig. Sows are not eannitiale by nature, and are oely made so by poor feeding, lack of exercise etc, sli?juld not be weaned un -til they are at least eight weeks old, and if the sow is not to have a second litteie or if there is time enough case she is, it is better to let the pigs suckle until they are from ten to twelve weeks old. Farmers often get in a hurry and wean pigs when .they are only six weeksold, but unless there is an abundant supply of milk anch especial- ly good care is given, the pigs are likely to become stunted, sometimes so severely 'that they never recover. The cheapest way to put gains on young pigs is through the sow. She has a strong digastiem and cat: turn coarse grains and pastUee into easily digested milk. Careful experiments show that a pound of weight taken from the sow will make more, than one pound of gain in the pigs, the flesh of the ani - male containing more water. 'The sow silanild be fed to produce a high yield of milk, and the pigs should be kept with her until they get to eating a full feed of both grain and pasture. V.Then the time comes to wean the pigs, tut down the sow's rations to water and a little grain. Take away the stronger pigs first, leaving the weaker to suckle for a few days long- er. These few things carried out will have mach to do toward pork profits. 1 - Teach Children to Avoid Trac Dangers. Parents should teach their children to else the utrnost eare wherever there is traffic, either congested or other- wise, if they wash to save t em rem danger which, as time goes on, will be worse inste.ad of better, unless some unforeseen wisdom is put into action by authorities. Women's Clubs in the Province of Quebec After learning the principles of deimestie seience and agriculture in doniestie seiente schools and convents of `higher teaching, the girls and young wome-n a our rural districts ht the Province of Quebee are organ- ized into clubs under the name of "Women's Clubs" (GeteIes de fer- mieres). The first of these clubs was established in 1915. There are to -day sevetty cams, meetearg 4,74 French-Canadian farmers' wives and daughters; under the general super- vision of Mr. Alphonse Desilets, B.S. A., whose headquarters are at the provincial Department of -Aviculture, Quebec. In seeking to promote the economic interests of mankind, the essential part played by woman and the ineba- ence that she exercises upon the vo- cation of children should not be for- gotten. Under intelligent manage- ment by devoted nuns, the domestic science schools endeavor to influence women to renaair: on the farm, They do this by training dutiful wives, thrifty housekeepers andexperienced helpers foe the "man with the hoe." However, it is only a snail number, as yet, of farmers' daugLters who go to these centres of science and practical training. The majority of the women and giris in our rural districts have, yet to be reached, and the women's clubare the means by Which this work ean be done. The fundamental idea of this undertaking is to keep our populat,ion, on the land, to pre-' teat it against the lures of the city' that attract our rural yotith, and to direct this youth towards its natural and normal vocation by toste.ritig a , tiling for family life, for farm l'ife and fer the parish or community life.'

It means that.the crystalline lens of the eye is not ,se flexible as heretctfore. It is beginning to harden. It never will work again quite as well as in the old days and you must give it the artificial aid of a glass with a slightly eonvex lens.

The real need fom "drops" is 'When there is astigmatism or some other error of refraction and the doe - ter needs to examine the Whole eye very carefully.
