Feeding Veal Calves.
For the first two weeks the calf
should be - fed three times daily. Dur-
1924 and 5$,649 in 1923, an increase
of 24.3 per cent. over the previous
year and of nearly 100 per cent. over
1928, Public stock yards sold ap-
proximately 945,000 head of cattle in
1925 as against -857,500 in 1924. Indi-
cations were of a strong trade in the
East. for the Western provinces.
It is estimated that the increase in
hog sales revenue in 1925 ever 1924
• wsa about fifteen million • dollars.
Prices ran anywhere up to $8 per hog
higher on good bacon hogs in 1925,
over the previous Year. The. co;ntribrit

review, were an -excellent market in
England for our bacon and hams, an
exceptionally keen domestic demand,
•'a sharp inquiry for our hogs from the
Pacific coast States, which .absorbed
around two mullion dollars' worth, and
�a gcneeel improvement in the type and
finish of the hogs Inarketed.
Nothing, adds the review, could be'
more encouraging than the way in
which our bacon is gaining in favor on
the` British market, our sales being
about twenty million pounds more in
1925 than in 1924 and the total being

The 'sheep industry experienced a
somewhat quiet year, but on the whole

head of Iambs were exported in 1925

GOOD BOOKS ARE rRIENDS.
We want to cultivate a love of read-
ing in our young people. Books can
be friends, safeguards, companions,
educators. They open up another
world to us, enriching the mind. But
there must be supervision over the
books and magazines which come into
the home, and there must be no dearth
of what we know to be good reading.
There is an inexhaustible supply of
wholesome fiction and interesting
books on history, travel, biography
and adventure, and if this be supplied,
our boys and girls will be trained to
appreciate the true and sense that
which is false.
Talk it over, parents. Realize the
dangers which surround your children,
and protect them with an invisible
wall built by training them to be
clean -minded, by informing them of
the results of wrong -doing, and by
supplying them with opportunities for
normal pleasures and food for the
mind as weal as the body. Good maga-

reading.
Since the dawn of civilization, down
to the present time, a woman who is
rnarked.by the scarlet letter may live
so that she will regain the respect of
good men and women, but the door to
the social world is eternally closed to
her, and the black spot on her name
can by no means be erased. No man,
unless he be her inferior in morals
and intellect, will ever take her as a
wife.
It is not right for the woman alone

while the same society closes its eyes

Children's Foods.
Cereals best suited to a child's diet
are rolled oats, roiled wheat, wheat-,
ina, cream of wheat, feline, hominy,
cornmeal, pear: barley. Ail these are
cooked four hours in a double boiler
and served with milk.
Prepared cereals, such as cornflakes
or shredded wheat, are expensive in
comparison with the cooked cereals.
Fruits are good for children and
should be given daily—fresh apples,
poetises, pears oranges and grapes;
or stewed fruits such as prunes, ap-
ples, rhubarb, apricots, peaches, pears,
figs, dried peaches or dates.
Vegetables are just as important.
Like fruits; they•shbuld be given daily.
As well as .supplying valuable. mineral
matter, vitamins, carbohydrates and
buil:, they lend .variety to the nrea'-e,
Those most suitab:e for children are:
beets, carrots, onions, cooked celery,
spinach, peas, string beans, asparagus,
..squash, marrow, chard, lima beans and
lettuce (cooked). Spinach is par-
ticularly valuable on account of the
iron which it contains.
If care and thought are taken, food
can be easily selected which will con-
tain adequate amounts of.miner'al mat-
ter and vitamins in combination with
protein, fat and carbohydrate.
Mineral matter and vitamines are
contained chiefly in fruits, vegetables,
eggs and mi:k, and—providing these
are given their proper place in the
diet -'there should be no deficiency on
'that score. With these, ton, the neces-
sary bulk is supplied to keep the intes-
tines in condition. Bran in cereal or
muffins and whole wheat bread also
are excellent means of adding hulk to
the diet.
Hints Worth Taking.
A pinch of soda added to any boiled
syrup will keep it from crystallizing.
A teaspoon of vinegar; added to home-
made syrup will keep it front -candy-
ing after it etands. v
A .teaspoon of vinegar beaten into
boiled frosting wi1,- prevent it from
being brittle or breaking when cut.
After boiling gait beef, leave two or
three carrots in the liquid until cold.
The carrots will absorb the salt and
the liquor can be used for soups.
