Inn dello which each citizen of Canada
must bear, that the helping of those
who are unah:e to help th, fusel yr,
'occupies a much larger place in owl
minds, may I draw your euention tr
the fact that th,s }1.,:;N:..,' is
plishiug great things in a field Ow
is untouched by any other organic..
tion.
Little children from a:! parts a'
the Province, irrespective oNelass or
creed, children who are sickly and
maimed, come here and are made
strong and healthy. is not this it,
Itself a wonderful work?
The service and the duty of the
Hospital is far-reaching As well as
personal attention, both awrgieal ano
medical, for all the tiny patients
doctors and nurses are also train,'d
to extend the mission of healing t:
the uttermost parts of the Province
The entire function of the Hos
pital must commend itself to you
and • you readers. It is a CHILL)
WELFARE work well deserving of
the support of your subscribets.
Of late a new and unfortunate
factor has added to the responsibill
ties which the Hospital must assume
You have noticed, no doubt, the
alarming increase In 'the number of
motor accidents throughout the
Province in the majority of which
little children are the chief sufferers.
Many of there. are. little waifs - of
the poorer sections where the streets
are the only playgrounds.
Here ere the average day's figures

The carrying oat of this great
work is your responsibility as well
as that of the people•of all Ontario
Hvery contributor to the Hospital is
a friend, Indeed, to these little miter
of humanity, and has the satisfaction
of knowing that the result of his

exports within a reasonable period,
dairy farmers who have recently
been more or less discouraged by
falling off in demand for and price
of the produce of their herds, may
with some justification, begin to
make- preparation for better time
by devoting increased attention to
the raising of heifer calves with 'a
view to adding to the number of
milk producers in their stables with
in the next two years. Nowadays
a much greater proportion of the
dairy cows in this country freshen
during the Fall and Winter than was
the case some years( ago, and it is
seldom that a dairy stable of reason
able size is • found without at leas
one heifer calf ready to start on the
way to real usefulness at any time
of year.
No part of dairy farming is more
important than the proper feeding of
the young calves, Likewise, noth-
ing is more important for the prop-
er developement of the calves than
a good supply of milk and skim milk
in the ration. And until such time
as demand for these for human food
becomes insistent, very little mis-
take can be made in using a fair
share of the whole milk and all of
the skim milk produce on the farm
for feeding live stock—with prefer-
ence shown the good dairy calves.
In raising dairy calves most dairy-
men prefer that the calf remain with
the cow for 'ho first forty-eight hours.
If it is taken away thenr
,` the ow
will be less nervous when she begins
to be milked again for commercial
purposes than if they are allowed to
run together for a long period.
It is desirable that the calf be in
a thrifty, vigorous condition when it
is taught to drink. It may be left
without food for about 12 hours, at
the end of which time it will be hun-
gry, and with a little teaching will
usually drink milk from the pail.
Warm, fresh milk from the mother
should be put in a clean pail and
held near the floor in front of the
calf, which will generally begin to
nose about the pail. Once it gets -a
taste of milk, it will usually drink
without further trouble. Sometimes,
however, more vigorous measures
must be taken.
The quantity of milk fed to a calf
depends upon the size and age, and
to some extent on the kind and con-
dition of the feed, but experiments
indicate that about one pound a day
should be fed for every 10 pounds
weight of the calf at birth.
For the first four days milk from
the dam should be fed. After this
the milk may he from any healthy
cow or cows in the herd, but prefer-
ably not from any that are nearly
dry. 'Whole milk is preferable for
the first two weeks, after which
skim milk may be substituted, com-
mencing with one pound a day and in-
creasing to 2 or '4 pounds, depend-
ing on the vigor of the calf. No
more skim milk should be fed than
the calf will . drink readily. In most
cases at the end of the third week
the ration should be approximately
one-half whole and one-half separat-
ed milk.
At the beginning of the fourth
week from one-half to three-fourths
of the ration should be separated milk,
During the week thege . chanshould
be continued until by the beginning
of the fifth week only separated milk
is fed. In specially vigorous calves
the change may be made a week earl-
ier, After this time separated milk
may be fed entirely unlesaathe calf is
very delicate. The quantity fed can
be gradually increased until 18 to 20
pounds 'a day, are given. If milk
is very plentiful, more may be fed,
but otherwise it will not be found
economical:
The time that milk should be' dis-
continued depends upon the cost in
relation to the value of the calf, its
breed, size, vigor, etc. The season
in which it reaches the age of six
months, and the other feeds avail-
able at that time, must also be taken
into. consideration. Six months is
probably a good averdge age at which
to wean calves from milk. The
stronger and more vigorous the calf
the earlier it may be weaned with
safety. On the other hand, the
more valuable the calf the more ex-
pense the owner is warranted in in-
curring to develop ,it, and the later it
will probably be weaned.

who is particularly well Informed
' upon Egyptian affairs, estimates
that it will be another forty years
before Great Britain is ready, to re-
new the offer of autonomy which was
made at Lord. Milner's suggestion,
and which he considers to have been
i most unwise. For that length of
time he predicts Britain will remain

It depends largely upon the Egyp-
' tlan people if the course of events
from now on parallels the course of
events following the collapse of the
so-called Nationalist movement in
1881-2. There followed then four
decades of prosperity and security
such as Egypt had hardly enjoyed
since the famous seven fat years at
ithe time of Joseph. The Government
was extricated from the pit of bank-
ruptcy,and the yoke of the oppressor
was lifted from the peasant. The

was announced ; it.' was . received with
enthusiasm by the general public as
well as by the medical profession.
Moreover, this was only the second
time in the history of medicine that
a method for the specific preven-
tion of an infectious disease had
been discovered, the other being the
discovery of vaccination for the
prevention of smallpox- Methods
for the prevention of cholera, ty-
phoid, diphtheria and yellow, fever
were all of a much later date,
It was only after a series of ex-
periments extending over years, and
after the treatment had been fre-
quently applied to various animals
suffering from rabies, that `Pasteur
ventured to treat a human being.
The first case treated was in July,
1885, when a boy named Joseph
Meister, of Alsace, was falcon to
Pasteur by his parents. He had'
been badly bitten about the face and
hands by a rabid dog, and 'had re-
ceived no treatment whatever. From

"We are entitled to lay that the

tory of medicine and glorious for
French science, for it Is. that of one
of the greatest steps ever accom-

p
things, a progress realized by .the,
discovery of an efficacious ,means of
preventive treatmentfor a disease,
the incurable nature of which was
a legacy handed down by one cen-
tury to another. From this day
humanity is arnied with the means
of fighting the fataledisease of hy-
drophobia and of preventing its on-
set. It is to M. Pasteur that we
owe this,- and we could not feel too
much admiration or twoo much grat-
itude for the efforts on his part
which have led to such a magnifi-
cent result,"
As soon as Pasteur's paper was
published, the knowledge of his
success was rapidly transmitted to
every country, and people bitten by
rabid dogs began to arrive at the
laboratory from all parts of the
world. The service for the treat-
ment of hydrophobia became the
chief business of the laboratory. It

Among the latter, Dr. Biggs recalls
Lister, Sir Ernest Hart, editor of the

tor Horsley.
Many of the patients were poor
and could ill afford the expense of
living in Paris while the treatment
was being given, and he says that
fpr these Pasteur provided the re-
sources often out of his own pocket.

suffered years before. He limped
slightly, and both arm and face on

he was grave and taciturn. hieCoon, as possible he retired to
private laboratory, and when once
there was almost impossible of ac-
cess, for it was with the greatest
reluctance that he permitted any-
one to , break in upon him when
thus engaged. . It was not long af-
terward until Pasteur institutes were
established in other countrles, each
under the charge of men trained and
commissioned by Pasteur. The pies-
ent death rate from rabies, treated
by the Pasteur method, is about one-
half of oi♦e per cent.

latter was confirmed in his holdings,
and was relieved of the necessity of
paying his taxes two, or perhaps
three times, under threats from the
corrupt tax collectors. As Mr. Owen
says, up to the' time of the dethrone-
ment of Khedive Ismail in 1879, the
fallaheen had been treated as beasts
of burden.
Then, under the reign of Tew Ik,
Britain, in association with France,
attempted to inaugurate a Naitionid-
ist Governory t in- Egypt. ;Old to
endow the petyple with conatjd'utifinal
forms such as prevailed ip' Western
Europe. The experiment was pre-
mature, for the Natidfnalisnt thus
awakened, soonagot Jdeyond, control
and threatened not wilily the prosper,
ity of Egypt, but'"jhe lives' and the
property of all foreigners there.. When
the Khedive loyally tried to stand
beside the foreign Government, the
Nationalists rebelled,and finally em-
barked on a crusade, which bad as
Its avowed object the driving of
every foreigner into the sea.
There were massacres of Euro-
peans in several parts of the coun-
try, and the rebels, led by Arabi
Pasha, made a prisoner of the Khe-
dive and interned him in one of the
royal palaces. The port of Alexandria
was seized and pillaged, and there
was another massacre of Europeans.
The next attempt of the Nationalists
was to take possession of the Suez
Canal. This was the last straw, so
far as British patience was concern-
ed, and, afer trying to induce France
to join her, Britain sent a squadron
against Alexandria, which was bom-
barded. This was followed by the'
landing of an army on the banks of
the Suez Canal, and the battle with
the rebels at Tel-el-Kebir, which fin-
ally destroyed the movement.
The crushing of the insurrection
and the deportation of Arabi and
other leaders to Ceylon had the im-
mediate effect of sending up the
value of Egyptian Government
bonds from 28 to 30 to par, and was.
the beginning of the great material
prosperity which the Egyptians have'
enjoyed -for the past four decades.
Nevertheless, the Nationalist spirit
was never entirely extinguished, and
Was stimulated from time t0 timc
