It is the privilege of ever i normal woman to be a sweet -heart and a wife, but to be a mother is the moat wonderful, higheat and precious gift of a loving, All Wise Creator to wo- man. The nation is composed of individ- uals. The individuals make up the home life. The national life can be no purer, nobler or more patriotic_ and Spiritual than the home life of the people. The home life of the people, on the whole, is no better than the individual life and character of the mother. Tell me the daily life and character of the mother, and I will tell you the faith and practice of the people, and the hope or destiny of the nation. The youth makes the man, the child makes the youth, the infant makes the child, and the mother makes and moulds the body, mind, life and char- acter of the infant, that makes the man that make 4 the nation. The father has his place and "in- fluence" in the home life, hut the first five to seven years the child is under the immediate suggestions of the mother. Her imprint is indellibly stamped upon the mind and heart of the child, and we are told "as a man thinketh in his heart so is he." It takes years of teaching, study and hard training to fit men for the highest efficiency in the trades, pro- fession and various callings in life. They must have a knowledge of men and things, and understand the laws governing their respective vocations. How vastly more ininortant then, that real, practical, wise, common sense, intelligent instruction be given on the most vital of all subjects, the coming mothers and fathers for the making of the home and national life. To -day, if you mention the subject of fatherhood in a company of youths, or of motherhood in a group of "teen age girls;" and carefully study their faces, eye glances, words and acts, we are compelled to conclude few are being impressed with their corning prospective high calling, purity of association, and hy constructive thoughts, fitting themselves physical- ly, mentally, morally and spiritually for the first and best. that can come into the life of any 111311 or woman— parentage. This training and fitness can only be taught in its best and purest form by the mother in the privacy of the borne. To fail to teach her child to "know thyself," the law of life and of reproduction, self control and the bles- sings of the wise use and the cure of the abuse of their Gog-given power is to "miss the mark." The proof of this is apparent in the many splendid wrecks of humanity, floating like driftwood down to the whirlpool of utter destruction,in hope- less despair; a curse to themselves, and a menace to society, because "mother or father never told me." The father may be respected, re- vered, loved and obeyed by the true manly boy and man, hut tell me, who holds the heart strings, when a stran- ger, alone, sick, friendless and penni- less in some far off land —mother.

MINTLPR FEED FOR COW How to keep up the winter milk flow -is a problem confronting a great many dairymen, more so in sections where the temperature is severe than in the milder climate of British Co- lumbia. Invariably the price of milk goes up in the fall and down in the spring and just as untiringly the supply drops in the fall and increas- es in the spring. The dairyman giv- en good cows, the proper proportion bred to freshen in the fall, and con- ditions suitable for good general management in the matter of sanita- tion and thorough and regular milk- ers, it is then up to the feeder to keep_ the milk supply up to the maxi- mum. The dairy cow is a manufacturing machine and requires suitable raw material from which to manufacture milk. She can make excellent use of much rough feed if supplied in con- junction with concentrates in the proper amounts. Among the most popular or widely used winter rough - ages are hay, straw, ensilage and roots and for dairy cows legume hays are much more valuable than grass hays. For milk production good al- falfa hay has no equal but, if this is unobtainable good clover or mixed hay is satisfactorN. Damaged hay can be made more palatable hy cut- ting and mixing with silage or pulped roots. The same holds true regard- ing straw. To provide the necessary succulence in a ration for dairy cows roots or silage, or both, are invalu- able. Not only are these feeds suc- culent but they are bulky and com- paratively cheap. Generally it is good business to give a milking cow all these feeds she will consume. This does not hold true regarding concentrates. A popular practice is to feed the cows one pound of grain for every three to four pounds of milk they produce. This is a good general rule to follow. What the -grain mixture should he will depend upon prices of the different feeds at that time, bran, oats, barley, oil meal, shorts, soybean meal, brewers grains and cotton seed meal are the common- ly used concentrates. Bran, four parts; ground oats, two parts; grouml barley, two parts; oil cake meal, one part; makes an excellent grain mix- ture for a commercial dairy herd. Tt should he kept in mind that a freshly calved cow abundantly and carefully fed will usually produce the cheapest milk. At this time a pound of grain is equivalent to several pounds given THE DAIRY later after the cow has decreased in her milk flow. Besides the roughage and concen- trates heavy producing cows should have plenty of clean water and salt, and many successful feeders at the present time provide bone meal, lime, charcoal and other minerals. SCHOOL NURSES Dear Expositor: I have read with indignation the letter of S. McLean, re school nurses, in your issue of October 6th. The most charitable construction that can be put upon it is, that he knows noth- ing of what he is talking about. In the first place he must surely have misunderstood the arguments of the canvassers in his part of the county. "Dire calamities" do not fol- low because the children's ears, throats and teeth are not examined by the nurses, but they. certainly do follow neglect of childish ailments in many cases. He aaks: "When have the people of Hurbn County ever suffered from 1111•11•1111•1511111•1111=1111111111 DANCE to be held in Walker's Hall, Brucefield MONDAY, NOV. 6th Forsythe Orchestra. Mr. Wm.

The inference is some. of them de'need, tseittant. Better one hundred -children Sent. - necessarily to a doctor than thal..one should grow Up crippled or for lack of proper medical or cal treatment. . Mr. McLean's chief objection t�' Usa medical inspection of schools to be the added expense to taxpayers, himself included. I do not know what his profession or calling is; he may be" a farmer, and if so, he dee* not grudge a few dollars to the veterin- ary, who cures sick colt, or eslf, br even a pig. He knows he will receive a Cash return later on for such an outlay. Is not the rising -generation of infinitely more value to the com- munity than a farmer's stock is to him? Who can correctly estimate the potential worth of any little child to the community in which he lives, or to the world at large? Oh, let us give the child a chance for a happy, useful life, even though it means a higher tax rate to the county. Let us not exclaim pathetic- ally with Mr. McLean that "we are door mats for innovations to walk over," but let us be public-spirited enough to ,welcome with open arms any innovation that is for the better- ment of the community at large. Let us welcome the school nurse. ONE WHO KNOWS. the scarcity of doctors and nurses?" I can inform him. My own school days were in the SO's, in a rural com- munity of Huron. We were nine miles from the nearest doctor, and a trained nurse was an almost unknown quantity. In those days many of the parents (and I have tio reason to be- lieve our particular school section was worse in that respect than many an- other) did not know of these dire calamities that really do follow in the wake of diseased teeth and ton- sils, and had never even heard of adenoids. Had there been some kind- ly nurse at hand,. ready with in- formation and advice, slight ailments, at that time easily cured, would never have been allowed to develop into life-long infirmities with some of us, seriously impairing our useful- ness and happiness in life. TIow many eases of defective hearing i sight. mighthave been prevented if we had only known? Parents, as a rule, are willing and anxious to pro- vide proper medical or surgical treat- ment for their children once they become alive to it, necessity, and they are growing more enlightened now in that respect, thanks to the EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION The annual convention of the Ep- worth League of the Goderich Dis- trict, was held at Varna on Tuesday, October 24th. The outstanding fea- ture of the convention was the sus- tained interest throughout the pro- longed sessions, the afternoon session lasting from 1.30 till 6 p.m. and in- terest still so lively that it was difficult to close the session for the supper hour. The usual routine of convention business was put through in record time, leaving some spare time for the speakers of the day. At the morn- ing session an address, "The Chris- tian Aventure," was given by Rev. Jas. Pearson, of Nile.- At t,he after- noon session the following addresses were given: "The Epworth Leaguer and His Bible," by Mr. W. H. Liddi- coate, London; "Four Corner Stones," by R. Fulton Irwin, Seaforth ; and Department Representative in Departmental Conference, Rev. - Mr. Simpson, Toronto. At the evening session Rev. Mr. Simpson addressed the convention on "The Brotherhood of Man." All these addresses were of so high order that special mention cannot be made. The numbers for entertainment purposes were excep- tionally well rendered. The discussion of the topic card resulted in the finding that many were impossible for rural communities. This resulted in a resolution to the effect that the new executive revise the topic list to suit our own district conditions.
