This includes not only, goof) pasture management, .including proper seed mixtures and fertilization;, so that a plentiil . supply of pasture is. avail aline throughout the season, but -the. proper handling of cows in order that the best use is made of the pas+• ture •provided, says Dr. C: D. Mac- kenzie, Division of Animal Husbandry, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The -,problem with many dairymen is how best ta take care of the sur- plus flush pasture growth in the spring and early summer and what to do in. the hot, dry summer months. Different methods are available, such as. the use of permanent pasture, an- nual pasture crops, the use of after- math; rotation of pastures and the feeding of supplementary feeds, such as ensilage or green crops.. • Information obtained last . year on the handling of they dairy herd at the .Central Experiniental'Farm, provides .some interesting results. Pasture was provided.' in the regular crop rotation as a -second year hay field of 37 ac- res. In the early season 15 acres were fenced off with an electric fence and an early cut ''of hay was taken off this area. The remaining 25 acres carried 47 cows to July 20. They then received the 15 acres of aftermath from the area reserved for hay. Later they received' another 19 acres of af- termath following the first cut of first- year hay, on • an adjoining field. This latter aftermath consisted of a very rank growth of legumes and,bloating Was feared, but by feeding supplemen- tary corn silage and grain at the rate of one pound for every four pounds.• of milk over 30 pounds, bloating was avoided. Still later they received an- other nother 28 acres of aftermath follow- ing a second cutting of hay. This ser- ies of aftermath areas, together with the original pasture •area, which had many opportunities to recuperate, carried 11/2 cows per acre, with the hay areas yielding an average of ,21 tons per acre. in addition. Fresh green grazing was -provided throughout the season, one of the best grazing sea- sons, experienced for some time, with the result that production was kept up to. an average of 36 pounds of 'milk per cow per day throughout- the whole season.. ' Planning to make complete use of the early lush growth of pasture .herb- age, reserving any areas not needed for early pasture for an early.hay crop will, provide good aftermath later when it in usually badly needed. How' To Obtain Setter Corn. Better corn can be grown if proper recognition and -attention is given 3,o a few basic principles of crop, produc'- tion: These include the choice of by-, brid or variety, the soil and its fer- tility and preparation, the time and rate of planting, cultivation'' and the time of harvest, says Dr. F. Dimmock, Forage Crops Division, Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa. Irrespective of whether the crop, is to be grown for silage or husking the hybrid or variety .selected should be adapted to the area of'production. The soil' type should be suitable for corn growing. Usually loam soils are satisfactory, 'providing they are well drained and fertile, with the principal nutritive elements, nitrogen, phosph- orus and potash. present in sufficient amounts and in the right proportions.. If any of these elements are lacking, yields will suffere. Thorough soil pre- paration is necessary. Weed 'control may be largely aecotinelished before the crop is planted. Goodresults ean- not be expected unless planting is done at the' proper time. Corn for silage in Eastern Canada is frequent- ly planted too late. Unless the season is very favorable the crop hasn't suf- ficient time to reach the stage of ma- turity necessary for. the best quality silage. The practice of allowing corn; to become frosted to reduce its,• mois- ture because of immaturity is a• poor one and results- in lowering_the qual- ity and reducing the feed value of the silage, Rate of planting is jest as important as time of planting. Cern that is spaced 10 to 12 inches apart in the rows will yield equally as well or better than closer spacing and will result, in the' production of better quality silage, because .of satisfactory maturity. The effect of cultivation up- on the crop is obvious, Weeds are robbers and should be destroyed. • Choice of the'right hybrid'' or var- iety, planting on good soil,- well pre- pared and properly fertilized, togeth- er with the right time and rate of planting will result in better corn, ir- respective of whether the crop is to be used for silage or for husking. er torn may be obtained from the Further information on the growing Division of Forage .

"Every day, take well -spaced and well-balancedi meals; drink plenty of water; get restful sleep in a well- vebtilated room, and add some out- door recreation. Fol}owed>regularly, this routine will help assure health 'and discourage .. disease - producing germs." • Healthfultl Snacks The craving of 'teenagers for such supplementary eats as pops, sodas slid sundaes, is natural, and can be channeled into healthful eating hab- its, according to the. doctors. Rapid growth requires lots of , en- ergy, and, to 'meetthe demands of growth and dievelopnient, the• Young- ster oungster turns to snacks between regular m,eala- National Health authorities suggest that this urge for extras may well 'be meet by substituting healthful food's for the things children "go for'; at odd hours. For instance, parents may 'provide a glass of milk and some hien-, cultsor fruit when thechildren come home from school in the afternoon and • when necessary, have little snacks ready for them in midmorn- ing, too. Feeding Growth • If intake of food is not sufficient to meet their specific needs, children may suffer .from •malnutrition, even though they grow in height, and Oth- erwise seem to be developing norm. ally. Health experts advise consultation. with the faintly physician . to ensure that children are getting the right food in adequate amounts. If"they are not, they may develop poor posture, unhealthy appearance, '• flat chest, round shoulders and a listless atti- tude, which may be evidences of poor nutrition. -Paint on Toys Toys are wonderful aids to child) development—keeping baby minds off more mischievous amusements—but health authorities warn that even toys can be harmful. Apart from the obvious danger of sharp edges; there is• the paint haz- ard. Lead paint on toys, on cribs and furniture, can result in varying de- grees of lead poisoning when chewed oes- or ' swallowed: The medical profes- sion favors vegetable paints on art- icles which the child' may put in the mouth. io aI A u ed to b0.141t i d4eat?r bf A flu apl►eWe, s4io to #as bettzi Igiw 1i rellablge b.Oaangt •oF the ,peeutiariti of •iu,d victual food! habits,. the 'vna letIf bf footle' availaile, an41 ihei xe?l�oval of vaeoutini nutl*ienta in the pro, ing; ..hymns and prepal� atien. o$ ,4oRtla, .'eal`t'hr authorities thereftii'e;hdvise a .study^ of what is :plied), for, nu ..tP eat,. and urge ,adherence to ;sound: 'rules of •autritiein "' • Csazzadiaus who have fl already_ dotle So, are invited) to apply to Pro-. vinoial-•Helalth DepertMent for a' copy of "Oanada's Food Rules." •.'hese are useful guides to eating, and, the )ilex- attire is all free. aaflu; xit a ZION` »Mg, and Mrs. Fergus Lannin spent Tuesday .in Stratford, Mr. and Mrs, George Jarmouth anti family and Mr. and Mrs. .Geo.

Happy Munohing Harmony, say the doctors, is an essential ingredient at meal -times. Nothing upsets" the, stomach and in- duces indigestion with all its, accom- panying ills, like . excitement; bicker- ing and discord. This"is particularly true when there are children at table. And, warn the experts, don't nag the youngster to "finish At up'—it's good, for you'." A much better way is to set an example of the rest of the • family quietly en- joying their food. Let the 'child see that eating can »be a pleasurable, as well as a profitable, pleasure. False 'Appetite You can't eat by instinct. It is not made, Mr. P. Conroy, Secretary- Tre'asurer of t e .Canadiari Cbngrese of Lahor, made a reply.

If that happens the cast of housing will rise. We would bei start- ed on the race towards depression.' Continued inflation ,brings depression -there is mo escape from that.
