A few tlritk in.. the fall will multiply many times before spring, hence the neces- sity for the second dipping. Septem- ber or October. are the two best months for fan dipping, but should the weather turn cool, the flock should be housed for a night or two until the fleeces' are thoroughly dry. ▪ In• order to preven the poisoning of pastures by -the ..slip on the grass, af- ter the sheep -have been dipped, it .Le necessary to . hold the Sheep, to allow the dip to run out • of the wool to drain back into the tank. This saves the dip and overcomes tate pasture poisoning danger. To do this, a drain- ing platform attached to and sloping towards the dipping tank must be [;Wade. The platform should be large enough to hold ten sheep.' Tongued and grooved lumber, or rough lumber lined with galvanized iron woud be satisfactory material; to use. Hurdles and a gate serve to keep the sheep on the platform until the dip has been drained off.

Central ONTARIO'S rich' pasture lands have, from the earliest days of settlement, sustained larger herds of dairy cattle than were necessary to • the Province's own needs. In .these `earliest' days, which were not much more than a century ago; dairy production was exceedingly primitive, but the 1891 census - disclosed -the existence of 1,565 cheese factories in the Dominion, which. Ontario had 893. Today, this great showing is ' prir- glided in every branch of, Canada's dairying industry .b.. To- morrow, the Province's facilities 'will' °he• more than equal to the etionstind for milk and its growing diversity of products. Published by THE Illl'EWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) . A CORNER, ON CONIES ' Nearly sit billion pounds of milk are eon- sumed or processed annually in 'Ontario; the yearly value of Ontario dairy products runs around •6140,000,000; Ontario butter and cheese production is about 200,000,000 pounds a year. The chief credit for these fat figures, which are about one-third of the totals for the entire Dominion, goes to O-ntario's 1,200,0(H0 milk cows—themselves, a third of Canada's dairy herds.

She wanted °'t'o' know what she could do :with her life., She was a hapless, chapfallen figure, too tall and bony, and'iestinctively awkward.

I want you to go out and buy yourself a new din- ner dress—but remember, just ask the saleswoman to select a dress that she thinks becomes you. Then I want you to get a new hair-do—but again, just ask the haii+d'resser to do ''what he thinks is best for you. Then, ip your new .gown I want -you to come to the church social next Tuesday night." Emily shook her head.
