1936 should see a revival
meet Christmas toast. Those
e: days when the value of the
Wvla,s universally recognized, but
gni the whirl of modern life tho farm,
the sure foundation of material
plvilizatlon, is apt to be forgotten.
• The wand farm means food and was
Mo called because in older times the
tenant was required to provide • the
landlord with food by way of rent.
Today this definition has been con-
siderably exten'd'ed in that the farm
su,•pplies the nation with food, and
without food, without the feeding of
the multitude, it is net given to h'u-
inan beings to be able openly to ex-
press -that spirit of universal kindness
and peace and good will evoked by
the teachings of the Master in the
celebration of the festival of Chnist-
Dias.
The connection between agriculture
and Christmes has been intimate
from the beginning- It was to shep-
herds watching their flocks by nigh
'that the words "Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy"
were addressed. It was in a lowly
stable attached to a farm -khan that
the Saviour of the World was born,
and a few days later it was on the
back of the most humble farm animal,
the ass, that He was borne to Egypt
in safety.
It was from the agricultural popu-
lation mainly that the early .Chris-
tians drew their adherents, and many
years later it was over the farms and
orchards in the vicinity of Rome that
the early Christians scoured, the coun-
try in search of holly 'branches to
decorate their churcthes and dwellings'
at -Christmastide-
Meanwhile, the farm, as ever, con-
tinued to furnish the wherewithal for
the feast, and at the same time, as
centuries rolled by and towns became
swamped in their own activities, it
was the farm that kept alive the
kindly, ancient rites of the feast.
Many centuries later, Charles Dickens
restored to the townsfolk of England
something of the joy and beauty 'of
the spirit of Christmas which still
flourished among agricultural com-
munities. Even to -day many of the
ancient agricultural Christmas cele-
brations, as distinct from the towns,
survive, some of them under limited
oondit'ione. There is Plough Monsday
for example, which is still observed
' in several countries, including the
Britiell Isles, In olden times in Eur-
ope, Plough Monday marked the end
of the Christmas holidays. It was
(held on the first Monday in January
after the Twelfth Day. It was cus-
tomary on Plough Monday, before the
,.. ploughman returned to work on the
,following day, to draw a plough, from
door to door of . the parish to solicit
"plough money" to spend in a frolic.
The queen of the banquet was called
Besse% t
Then .{ there was the aneien:t feast
of the boar's head which still exists
in at least three distinct communities
in England -at Queen's College, Ox-
ford, on Christmas Day, and at the
annual Christmas banquets of the
City of London at the ,Guildhall and

much the same. Trumpets sound and
the boar's head is carried in proces-
sion, escorted by choristers singing
the old carol., "The boar's head in
hand bring I." At the City of Lon-
don feast, the master takes the lem-
on from the boar's jaw and at Oxford
tthe Provost takes the orange and
presents it to the principal singer. At
the Cutlers' Hall, the president of the
feast acce'pta the present of a pot of
mustard, and extols the circumstanc-
es of the feast. This reference to
mustard must be very old, because in
a carol that bad been in vogue for
centuries before, Wynkyn de Worde
printed the words in 1521 A D., the -
last line of which runs "the bore's
heed with musftarde."
The phrase "Christmas Box" orig-
inated in the early Christian times, It
was really then a box which was
placed in the church for promiscu-
ous charities and was opened on
Christmas Day. The 'content- were
distributed the next day (Boxing Day)
by the priest, and: where the c etri-
butions consisted of cash were known
as box money. However, farmers
were accustomed to leave their con-
tributions in kind, eggs, butter; flour,
meat, and other agricultural products
much the same as the farmers of Que-
bec to -day place fruits at the church
entrance on Thanksgiving Day, the
results of the sales of which go to-
wards masses for the souls of rela-
tives. In many 'churches in Canada„
the accumulation of Christmas gifts
is distributed in much the same man-
ner
anner as in the earliest Christian days.
And at , thip Christmastide, as in
'the days gone by, the farm has furn-
ished the , chief necessaries for tthe
Christmas feast, such as the meats,
the turkeys, the geese, the ducks and
chickens, the cereal foods the vege-
tables, the cream, milk, eggs, and
cheese, not forgetting that many of
the other essentials, the candies and
confectionery, the pickles, cigarss and
cigarettes, are all of agricultural ori-
gin,
So once more, the ancient toast:
"Christmas and the Farm: the Farm
and Food."

SMALL-PDX
Small -pox one of the most readily
controlled off all infections. Vaccina-
tion, properly used an absolute pre-
ventive. The invention of Dr. Jen-
ner in 1796.
Previous to the discovery of small-
pox vecoination by Dr. Edward Ten-
oer in 1796, '+small -pox was one of the
most destructive of the agents of
death in all Countries. As told by
Macaulay the historian, "small -pox
was always present, filling the ehurch-
y+ards with corpses - . . turning the
babe into a changeling at which - the
mother shuddered and making the
eyes and cheeks of the betrothed
maiden objects of horror to the lov-
er." It was the cbance remark of a
milkmaid in the hearing of this coon-
try doctor that gave him 'a hint of
how smfali pox might be checked- She
said, "I cannot 'have small-pqx because,
I have had cow -pox."
Neither she nor Jenner knew what
is now known, that cow -pox is small-
pox modified by passing through the
cow. '
Jenner tried the experiment of in-
oculating a boy with cow -pox and to
his delight found that the boy when
exposed to small -pox failed to con-
tract the dire disease.
Small -pox vaccination was first in-
trroduced into Canada. in 1802 when.
J. Bond of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia,
vaccinated axis own child.
Public health officers, indeed all
physicians, are thoroughly aware of
the absolute protection, successful
vaccination affords against, snail -pox.
One of the finest demonstrations' of
this ppotectien known to the writer
occurred during the outbreak of
haemorrhagic smallpox in the city
of Windsor in 1924.' Due to the ex-
ertions of a skilful health officer, the
outbreak was limited to 67 cases but
its, virulence may be judged by 'the
fact that, of these, 32 died after a
few days illness.
The results of vaccination in a
single household were so striking
that the facts should be broadcasted
far and wide. The !household in ques-
tion comprised a grandfather of 82,
his daughter, a widow of perhaps 50
and the latter's daughter, a school-
girl of about 16 years.
The grandfather had been vaccin-
ated, according to his story, 62 years
previously, and not since that time.
He Chad by actual count - 50 pustules
{of small -pox and was not 111 in any
way except, as be said, "for the pim-
ples." The grand -daughter living in
the home all`. the time had been vac-
cinated before entering school. She.
dud not take the disease at all. Her
mother, poor woman, had never been
vaccinated: She died within three
days from the onset of her illness, of
haemorrhagic small -pox. Vaccination
and re -vaccination will wwpe out small
pox -

A Terrible Bear.
Story of the Sixties
Here is a Canadian bear story re-
printed from the London Times of
1869. The writer was evidently a bit
shy on his knowledge of our geogra-
phy.
WS have just received intelligence
of another terrible bear catastrophe-
in our Colony ,of Canada. The sad
affair occurred recently itt a small vil-
lage caned Toronto,•a few miles .from
'Winnipeg on the main line of the Un-
ion Pacific -Railway, and not far from
Ow main station at Hudson's Bay. It
matters that a settled' named John
Shaw, who was President of the Fire,
Water red Gas Club, was on his way
home from one of its meetings, and
when almost at his 'own door a huge
-grizzly hear: sprang upon him from
the adjoin;ng forest. Th'e snow at the
time was eight feet deep and the
thernrorneter 50 below zero, and the
unfortunate man being en sft+owshaes
and ,only armed with an ordinary shot-
gun, was unable to cope with the sav-
age beast,' and consequently was fear-
fully mangled- His cries•, however,
brought to the spot some half-breeds
who lived in wigwams near the edge
of the bush, and these, with ..tJhe, help
of the members of the Fire Club, who
bad also been attracted by the cries,
soon despatched the ,brute. The bear
;'was found to measure 18 feet from
snout to tip of his tail. The town has
since :he beginning of winter been
oinr-rum with bears, and it is not safe
to venture out at night without a
good rifle and a lantern. The unfor-
tunate settler was carried to the hos-
pital at New York, the nearest town,
and we are glad to learn iso doing as
well as can be expected.,
Farm Notes
Supplements Need for Winter Feeding
Dr. O. McConkey of the Ontario
Agricultural College. - Guelph, strikes
a note of timely warning in a recent
bulletin when he says: "In ' the
drought areas of the province miner-
al deficiency troubles With livestock
will be more acute during 'the winter
feeding period of .1936-37, becansh
phosphorus' isnot readily taken in b
plants during dry se-ago/ie. The win-
ter feeds will contain lesis phosphorus
than. usual, and it' will be a wise pre-
caution to start feeding a recognized
mineral 'supplement early in the stable
feeding period and s'o prevent trou-
ble and loss." '
"Bay," says Dr. McConkey, "is the
most valuable •crop grown in. Ontario;
it covers 30 per cent of the cultivat-
ed acreage . . . Some farmers, are
produch'ng hay which . is four times
higher in protein' than 'others, , and a
,considerable percentage of our :hay is
too low in, tire essential minerals to
maintain healthy asfiimnalts:°'

Ladies To Discuss Fall Fairs
Rural women with ideas on the im-
provement of fall fairs will have an
opportunity to express and discuss
them, if plans of the Ontario Associa-
tion of Agricultural Societies develop,
as expected.
For the first time a separate" meet-
ing tof women delegates is being ar.
ranged, as part of the annual Agri-
rn)tural Society Convention to be held
in Toronto, February 11-12, 1937. Miss
Bess McDermand, Director of the Wo-
men's Institutes • Branch, has kindly
undertaken, to provide demonstrations
-and leaders for discussion. An after-
noon will be devoted to 'problems con-
fronting Women's Committees.
No division of the fair is more in-
portant than the Women's Depart-
ment, and there are no more ardent
workers than the lady directors. It
is hoped where at all possible, there
will be at ]east' one lady delegate
from each Society.
Timothy Widely Used
Timothy is 'used in Canada almost
to the exclusion of other grasses,
largely beeause clean' seed of strong
vitality is generally available at a low
price. The expense per acre of seed-
ing is less than with any other grass.
Ti'rnothy if fed alone, is of IoW nutri-
tive' value for growing animals or for
milk production, because it is defici-
ent in fiesih-forming constituents. It
is, there, not a profitable fodd'er by
itself. for those purposes. • A liberal
mixture of glover improves it. It is
favored for work horses that have
heavy grain` rations as well, and, on
account et Atet digestibility, it le the
standard hay for livery horses, requir-
ed to work immediately atter feeding.
- . POUItI v
At 'this season red mites, and body
lice frequently cause serious loss' itu
prodtuctiOn, deaths (nay tallow a bad
infestation among„ 'both -the • young
and tbe old mtoek, and cqueldenable
time and care may be required to
bring the flock `batik auto condition af-
ter the trouble bas been located.
'Carelessness or unsanitary, condi-
tions. are usually .Ireeponmdble for the
presence of these pests. They thrive
on dirty hens end multiply rapidly ill
ftlta it it is allowed to accumulate in
corner$ or, craoks and erevices of the
(henhouse.
Lice live entirely .on the body of
the bird and irritate by crawling and
biting. Their eggs are laid at the blase
of the feather, usually around the
vent or under the 'wing. Fortunately
they are easily controlled and by us-
ing ordinary precautions the flock may
be kept free and clean. The usual
practice on the Experimental Station'
at Harrow is to apply Blue Ointment
which can be ,obtained at any drug
store. A. portion of Blue Ointment,
about the size of a pea, is smeared
between the thumb and first and' sec-
ond fingers and rubbed in around the
vent and at the base of the wing close
to the body. ' One thorougth applica-
tion when the birds : are beim, placed
in their winter quarters is usually suf-
ficient tO keep them clean for the
year. However, the birds sthould be
examined at intervals because a re-
infestation may occur during hot wea-
ther.
The red- mites do not stay 'on the
-binds constantly. As a, rule tlhpy
spend the day in some crack or crev-
ice or en the underside of the roosts,
preying on the birds at night by pierc-
ing the skin and gorging "themselves,
with bloods The control is compara-
tively simple. A solution of 1 to 3
crude embolic and kerosene or one of
the good 'coal tar preparations usual-
ly used as a disinfectant may be ap-
plied with a brush to • the dropping
boards, roosts, and nests after they
have been thoroughly scraped and'
'cleaned. In the case, of a ,.had fates-:
tation, when the mites have migrated'
tb all pa�.tsr•of the 'house, a-thorougW
cleaning , and spraying with one of
these agents will be necessary 'and
should be repeated after an interval
cf two\rq three _days- /
--
Feeding Brood Mares
To properly carefor brood mares
during the winter months, it must be
understood that they ,should be given
mild exercise each day but deep snow
and the hauling of heavy loads sthould
be avoided. It is particularly' impor-
tant that mares in foal are not al-
lowed to be idle during the winter
months, as they usually produce weak
foals—no matter how they may be
fed -
A -broad mare's ration may be made
up of a varitetiy of feeds, however, It
is essential that it be nutritious and
contain a generous supply of protein
and minerals. A good grade of mix-
ed hay, oats and bran will supply all
the , necessary requirements. A few
roots fed daily will also -prove bene-
ficial. The amount" of bay and grain
to be fed daily will depend upon, the
size of the mare, her eondition ,and
the type of work she is doing. Na-
turally the more work ,she is requir-
ed to do—the larger the daily grain
ration. Young mares that have not
ooshpleted their growth must be fed
quite liberally.
After the foal is (born, drinking
water with the chili n off is giv-
en to the mare. Thh,e's first feed
after foaling is always a ,warm bran
mash and the grain ration contains
one-half bran for a week or more . af-
ter the foal is dropped! By so doing,
oo2nplications such as an oversupply
of milk or indigestion are usually
avoided. When mares are thin at
foaling time, light feeding sthould only
be continued for a few days. in, such
cases, the , feed is"nsualIy increased
