(lexperneental Farm Notes), (living a mit an extra good start the fleet srx rronths Of Its life, and doing so cheaply. is the oceret euccess and eeonomieal stock raising. No matter how good the calf at birth, It will he handled, at a loss, or more or lees seriously handicapped for future ueefulneo. and profit, If not fed carefully and cheaply in its early days. Ito present high Prices or whole milk iwactleally exclude this product being used to any extent In calf rearing, al- though it is absolutely necessary for the first three or four 'weeks if best re- sults are to be obtained, To discover the best substitutes for whole milk and the best methods and practices In calf feeding, a large number of experiments have (luting the past three years been eendueted on the Dominion. Experimental Farms. The detailed results of this work will be published in the near fu- ture. However, a few deductions from these experiments aro given herewith. 1. -It is more profitable to breed and rear good young stock to maturity than to purchase the average cows for sale, wheeh are usually the animals least profitable and teeetrable in the neigh - twee herd. e -The cheapest way or building up a good herd is to raise it. The feed eoste of good rearing in Canada range irom *16 to $1:7.30 for 0 -months calves, eiet to $45 for 12-menth8' calves, and ireet in $71.30 for 21 -months' heifers, the varia- tion depending on methods of feeding, feeds available, and market values or ihese feeds. 3 -Calves of poor type and breeding ere not worth rearing, but geed calves proyerly bred will be worth at least 80 per cent. and tip to 100per cent, more than their feed cost at two years of ego. 4 -Calves of good size, strong constitu- tion and large capacity 1%111, on the same feed, wake greater growth and better gains than ereall, weak, narrow andlvide teals. 5 -Good rearing of calves is most profit- able as shown in ;MO results tat Earlier maturity in eize, Earlier maturity in profitable prodete- . . Greater preduelion throughout the whole lifetime. More valuable and in greater demand at the highest mice. Healthier stock. Mere durable animals. Better able to consume most profitably all cheap farm grown roughages and convert these into milk. 0 -:-The calf reared on its dam costs 25 to $0 per cent, more than the, paid -fed mire and the more productive the cow the rater will be the charges against the calf. le -Pail -fed calves reared to 8 to S PlOptIss largely en whole milk, make gains which coet $14.00 to $1.&75 per cwt., which is several timel the coat when a properly fed substitute for whole milk SS used. S. -Skim -milk fed sweet and at a tem- perature Of about 90 deereee Fehr. Is the eest eingle substitute for whole milk, and may reach a. value of 70 cents per cwt. er move in feedinre young calves, How- ever, lerim-milk may he improved by the addition of a good cream :substitute, such na flaxseed jelly. oatmeal, .or a well-bal- anced calf meal. 0-Buttermi1k, if fed uniformly as to acidity and temperature, may have a slightly greater value than skim -milk. Great ceution must, however, be taken to -start calves ata greater ago and very gradually. 10. -In feeding calves to 0 to S months of Age on redone composed largely of skim - milk or buttermilk and a good cream substitute, gains may be made at a cost of feed amounting to from $2.00 to $7.15 per ewe, this amount varying with the charter and price of meal and the rugged. - nese and thrift of, the calves, 1.1. -If well started on mother's milk, : calves may be well reared on calf meals without whole or skim -milk, However, ' greater care and attenelon must be paid to these calves, ani even so, gains eest from $8.00 to $15.41 per cwt., or near- ly double and cost it here some skim- mile- is used. 22i -There are many excellent calf meals on the market in Canada. Thu Cartedian manufactured meals are es good as, and generally decidedly super - kw to, imported meals, due not only to the palatability of the ingredieets and the chemical balaeme, but even more to freshness and, freed= from mustiness. Providing the necessary ingredients arc a,vallable, it may often be more economi- cal for the. feeder to mix his own calf meals. If properle done, the resulting gains in weight 01 the calves may he nearly as great, and often at a much reduced 4S3st. 13 -In order to rear the best and chep- est cows all petered calves should be taught to eat, at .art early age, cheap and nutritious farm -grown roughages and grains. The best roughages are vase: fine alfalfa or clover hay, swede turnip, mattgels and ensilage. Of the grains, oats and barley are unexcelled. TO HAVE BETTEll CALVES. 1, -Give suitable feed and avoid over - 2. -Feed regulaily and carefully. 3. --Keep calf pens clean and freshly bedded. 4,-Aeote in every possible way all euch Infectious dieeases as scours, tubor- etflosis, black leg and abortlon. 6.--Detroy parasites such as worms, ringworm anti lice.

THE STARTING POINT Of CONSUMPTION Lies in Weak, Watery Blood -Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make the Blood Rich, Red and Pure. Weak, watery blood is the starting point of consumption. When your ;blood is in this condition your whole health declines. Your face becomes polo or sallow, your appetite fails, your heart jumps and flutters at the least exertion or excitement, You are always weak and wretched and you lose interest in both work and amuse- ment. This. Is the paint from Aich you may easily step into that hopeless decline that leads to consumption and the grave. What is needed to bring back health, strength and energy is the new, rich red blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make. In all the world of medicine there is no other tonic and blood builder like them, and all who feel weak, run-down or easily tired should lose no time in giving these pills a fair trial. They have transformed thousands of weak, hopeless men and women, boys and girls into strong, robust people. In proof of these statements may be giv- en the experience of elre. T. Brennen, Charlton, Ont., who says: "Not only iimself, but My friends think that had It not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would have filled a consump- tive's grave, My condition was most serious; my blood seemed literally to have, turned water; I was as pale as a sheet and became utterly unable to do any housework or go about. I doc- tored steadily for a long time, but was growing weaker, and finally the doctor held, out but Bette hope for my recovery. It was thought that a trip might help me and I wee taken to New Ontario. Those who saw me while on my way did not think I would reach my journey's end alive. After I reached- my destination a !friend strongly urged me to try Dr. ' Williams' Pink Pills, and as of course I was anxious to regain health I did so. The pills Were the first medicine I had taken; which seemed to help me at all, and it was not long until I felt they were doing me good. I continued their use gladly, and was able to move about the house. Next I- was able to go out of doors and to help in the housework, and from that time on my progress was rapid, and in the end I was enjoying better health than I had ever done before. There are many People who can testify to the abso- lute truth of these statements, and I feel I would not be doing justice to your wonderful medicine if I did not i make these -facts known. ! You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. -EOM.

Reindeer meat is finding its way in to the market on the Pacific. coast, hnd is certain to become an important part of the meat supply of this country when the government railroad to Alas- ka provides the means of shipping to distributing centers in this country, secording to Clio Mauler, writing in the "Gatnolic 'World." There were 70,243 reindeer in Alas- ka, according to the government re- port on the subject in 191e, nearly all oescenclants of herds totalling 1,200 alnch were imported from Russia, to snack the country between 1002 and 1906, and the herds to -day are increas- ing at a remarkable rate. Until 1914, the raising of reindeer was confined to iiittires mot meennos, but since then 'tee goVernment has permitted others to enter the business, Beginning in the fall of 1914, shipments of reindeer meat to Seattle and other Pacific coast cities have been allowed. Mr. Manner says that reindeer Make is as palate. his as beefsteak, and that it has been selling 'lit many of the best hotels ill California, 'Washington, and Oregon for from, one-quarter to one-half the price of beefsteak. He continues: "There are many things to be said -In favor of using reindeer meat on Our ttlbles, Agit% from a desire to cut the high Cost of living, The reindeer is not onlytessy and (heap to raise, but it -s flesh is pleasing to the taste and it is fully its nutritious as beef or mut- ton, Moreeveia practically every part of the animals can be utilited for hu- man consumption, and it 18 one Mahe easiest meats to keep from spoiling.

With the coming .of the white man the wild game and whale upon which the natives had relied for .their food supply had been driven into the Inaccessible north land, and now the seal, the one 'aelmal which re- mained for thorn to live upon, was taken from them. Scores of these people are wiped out of existence by disease and bungee before, the govern- ment awoke to the fact that it was its duty to preserve the lives or these un- fortunate wretches. It was Captain M. A. Healey of the leeited States rev- enue cutter Bear who was responsible for the suggestion which fiaally led to the introduction of the reindeer from Alaska.' Twelve hundrea reindeer were brought over from Russia between 1902 and 1906, but in the latter year Russia forbade further exportations of the animals. The herds already mi ported were placed under the care of Laplanders brought over for the ex- press purpose of teaching how to breed and care for the animals. Eski- mo and Indian bon are now taught how to raise reindeer at government experimental stations in this industry and taught reading,writing, arithme- tic end sanitation for Live years of government expense, after which they receive from six to ten reindeer with which to start a herd of their owe. Ottany of these lidye have become wealthy. "Neary every portion.of reindeer's flesh can be used, and one cut is prac- tically as good as another," says elr, Mamer, "It would seem as if this in- dustry ought to appeal strongly to those of our young agricultural stu- dents who are particularity interested in stock raising, for IL undoubtedly has an element of adventure about it which they, more than ane other class of farmers, would appreciate. Rein- deer can be raised for the market much more cheaply than cattle, for they find their owe feed both in win- ter and summer, and they can live in barren wastes which would stir/pert no other kind of animal. It bas been estimated that there is in Alaska close to 800,000 square miles of this land Which would afford pasteurage for nut - lions of dee'. These domesticated descendants of the caribou which still roam wild in certain parts of Alaska and British Columbia, besides being easy to feed, are not difficult to raise, as they -are exceptionally healthy and seiner from no disease." --"New York Times. A MIGHTY WA-RSHIP. And How Iler Turret end 12 -inch Gun Was Wrecked. Captain Haddock, who succeeded Captain Smith, of the Titanic, as com- modore of the White Star line, was made commander of Great Britain's dummy fleet. The dummy fleet was an auxiliary that had an important duty in the North sea in the early days of the great world war. The fleet consisted of converted merchantmen. In most eases the ccn- version was superficial. The vessels Included liners, tramps and fest chart: nal steamers. Papier maithe made an important substitutlen for armor Plate and nrmament which helped the deception. Guns of all kinds were mounted, the big ones, however, being more awe inspiring at a distance than effective as weapons. With this armament the dummy fleet kept up a steady patrol and at a distance deceived many a Germane observer into reporting the presentee of wanshipe. Admiral Haddock's flagship Melted an imposing vessel in her "Ivey visibil- ity gray," with twelve inch guns fore and aft, Naval discipline in the dummy fleet was an innovation that had not worked into the souls of the erstwhile merchant mariners; other- wise this story might have had a sad- der sequel in a court inertial. One of the tars was having his "time off" The air was gaud, the sea was calm, and he sought to beguile the hours -with a comfortable smoke on the promenade deck (aim was a converted liner). He sat on the stern rail dangling hie legs. His teeth lost the grip on his pm, The pipe fell. The tar made a wild grasp into space. He, too, fell and craehea through the armor plated terret and smashed one of the twelve inch guns. -Wall Street journal.

The different uses of tonnage terms when speaking of ships are causes of confusion to the lay mind, states Cap- tain C. A. McAllister, engineer -Pl- anter, 'United States coastguard, in the l'opular Science Monthly. For ex- ample, steamship companies in order Xe impress upon the travelling public the size and consequent relative safety of (Moir craft, will advertise the of a certain steamer of 20,000 tons, ro.es.ning, of course, grass tons. The company's agent, in entering her at the custom house, will take great precaution, to certify that she is of only 7,340 tons when paying tonnage Maas, Ho then is referring to her flat tonnage, and, in fact, that standard is used only when paying duos or taxee. Displacement tonnage is almost °re- clusively applied to warships, as they do not carry cargoes, Strange to say, the tonnage of a battleship varies ale most thourly, as coal or other weighty objects are Used or taken on board. The tonnage of warships is, however, fixed. They are referred to in terms of the fixed tonnage. A Statement that a 10,000 ton 'battle- ship sank a 10,000 ton merchant ship does not moan that tho ships were of equal size, The merchant ship would be mudh the larger owing to the dif- ferent meanings of the term "ton" as applied to the two type of vessels. It is absolutely impossible to give rules for the relations of these terms, as the conditions vary too greatly. Generally speaking, 'the gross tonnage of a ship is from 50 to 100 per cent, greater than the net tonnage. Tons dis- placement aro always in excess of tons gross. Deadweight tonnage is on an average front 30 to 60 per cent. greater ellen gross tonnage. The Doctor Did Not Do Her Lasting Good SO MRS JOS. ROGER USED DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.

DOGS AN) SHEEP Wentworth County Favors Licensing All Dogs. • The euenace from stray dogs in the rural districts of Ontario has become so serious that special legislation will be asked to abate the nuisauce. A re- cent reportee presented by a commit- tee to investigate the ravages of dogs on sheep in the County of Kent lays bare the ugly fact that in that county alone there is a yearly loss of $500.000 by reason of dogs. This does not mean that the dogs kill yearly sheep to that value, but it does mean that if the menace were removed the farmers have expressed their willingness to double the present amount of sheep raising in Kent. At the present time, especially, there is no industry that et more profitable to the farmer than sheep raising. The presence of the sheep in the land is of the highest value, while the prices for wool make the industry exceedingly profitable. In the report submitted by the committee investigating the num- ber of sheep killed in Kent County last year, it wee aurertained that 24.208 sheep were raised, out of which 272 were killed. A census of the dogs showed that. there were 4,186 in the county. At the lowest estimate., it is rimmed that e least $10 worth of food is consumed per head by theee dogs each year.Whielt reaches the aMaxing figure of ei1el50 wasted. 'the eommittee gave it as their opinion that the keeping or dogs and cats 1,1 this civilized age should be d'iscOnraged by special legMlation What the committee suggests as an effective stop to the menace is t.o have dog tags issued at 'Rates varying from $8 to $10 per annum for each. In a memorial recently presented to the Wentworth County Council by the' United Counties of Northumberland and Durham. it was recommended that $2 per dog be assessed, anti ta for each additional dog, male or female. 'Went- worth endorsed the memorial, especi- ally where it stated that legislation would be sought to make the wearing of the tags compulsory, as tide would be the only method to bring to the doors of the owners the crime of sheep - killing.

Some 2,260 of those songs have been preserved, of which some have been transcribed and have given pleasure to modern ears. More interesting than their music, perhaps, is the truly temperamental career of many of these noble singere, in which they anticipate later aris- tocrats of the vocal art. Hambant d'Aurenga fell in love with a number of ladles whom he had never seen - and who had never seen him.

PoultrIl World JJ TABLE SCRAPS FOR FOWL (Robert Armstrong, Writer and Ex- pert Poultryman in Buffalo News.) The world's meat supply is probably the lowest of all food reserves. It le also the hardest to re-establish , be- cause it requires the longest time. an this acount poultry cuiture otters the greatest opportunity. No brancn of live stock can be grown in less time than poultry and eggs. No kind of meat is more yholesome and stIS tlui- nig. No other variety of same issio cmlidesltygcroos‘.vn under such varying cur- unanNo phase of ammai hus- bandry requires such a small invest- ment to start, and responds so .welt to the care of inexperienced hands. It may seem discouraging to con- template raising stock at a time like this, in view of the high prices of grain. But this condition should not affect the keeper of a small flock. On every farm and in almost every house- hold there is sefficient waste foodane other products to maintain a small flock, if only a dozen hens. It is esti- mated that about $7,000,000 is dump- ed into Ameriban garbage cans every year. Think of it, alniost a bilion dollars thrown away, for no reason ex- cept lack of intelligence, indifference, gross neglect, prodigality. The easiest and most practical meth - ed of eliminating the .waste that oc- curs in the garbage eon is to feed it to a flock of chickens. Large acreage is not required. The opportunity is open to everyone with a back yard or small plot of ground. With a small amount of intelligent care fowls ,mai be reared sacessfutly in close confine- ment. All that is neceeeary is to give them sanitary quarters, fresh air, Proper food, water and an opportunity to exercise. What could be simpler than the aboxe? Sanitary quarters is a matter of cleanliness; fresh air -is abundant and merely requires that it be given entrance to the .poultry house with- out serious drift; water is equally abundant; proper food consists of a reasonable variety of nutrieuts-ta.ble scraps, a little grain and ground meals; the opportunity for exercise does not Mean giving a flock acme to a large field, nor yet a large yard, though these are best where feasible. Chickens can be made to exercise on the floor of their house, in deep litter into which the scratch grains are thrown for Otis very purpose. Or, an automatic feeder can be Metalled, which is designed to induce exercise. Perhaps this is not so desirable 113 range in an orchard, but it is a good substitute, just as the indoor is a good u gyinuas- who waette to keep in physical trim 1trn tbstitute for the man and who hes not the opportunity of the tennis court, baseball diamond, golf links()erne gd ooi nthge pr aorurgroaonit; eli:.oertos.

Grit to grind the food in the gizzard, oyster shells to supply lime for the eggs, and a little char- coal to Imp the digedtive organs sweet, are the other essentials to be supplied in small quaritities and which may be procured at the supply houses at a cost that is neelleible. SCRAPS NOT GARBAGE. The idea of reeding ga.uage to a flock of chickens may intrude on the sensibilities of some, though it is deemed it common practice alth The idea, however, is more apparent than real. We prefer to use the term "table teraps," artyliow, since there is a -difference between the two. Celery tops and the tops of beets and other vegetables, the outer leaves of lettuee and cabbage, vegetable parings, stale bread, ends of meat, left -overs of cereals anti sour milk are none the less edible because they are such. They have lost polio of their value na food, except that they no longer appeal to the humau taste. When fed to ft flock Of ehlekens they are greatly relished.

Fowls fed on table scraps invariably do better than theaa given a, single grain ration. The reaeon for this is perfectly plain: the fowl's system, like the human taste, requires variety. No one article of food will' maintain health and vigor. For a small backyard flock the table scraps from the average household should supply half the food required With the addition of a neighbor's table scraps, who, perhaps, is unable or un- willing to keep . a flock of fowls, al most the entite 1,111. -of -fare can le furnished. - ADVICE, FOR. BEGINNERS. Experience has demonstrated thee males in the pens reduce the total egg yield for the year. Furthermore. they are likely to impair the quality or the eggs, for infertile eggs keep better than fertile ones. Then, too, there is the cost of maintaluing, sur- plus males. At a time like this only the producers slaould be kept. Non - producers should be consigned to the "block" as meat. As soon as the. breeding season is over "swat die rooster." Keep only. enough youne cockerels for the next breeding time. Remember that a hen's temperature is 106)/e anti man's 91 3.5. Therefore It is plain that they should not be housed alike. Too much canshine is juet as had as not enough. 11' tee yarde are with- out natural shade, such as trees or shrubs, artificial shade must be pro vided. Boards, an old awning. can. vas or burlap sacks can be improvised nicety. Water is worth jest as muck as feed in ettg produetiou. The hen can't make an -egg with either one alone. Moral: If the hen'e food bill is worth $1.60 a year, that igloo also is the, value of the water bill. Think this over; the egg is about 75 per cent. water. Effect of Bad Teeth, A paper by a dental surgeon in the Journal of the American Medical as: sociation Jells the story of bad teeth and the effects on the laboring man's efficiency. The dentist said Ile made 30,000 examinations in sixteen mouths or 17,000 Americans and 13,000 for- eigners and found 96 per cent. in need of dental service. "In 30,000 mouths," the deetist said, "we find C0,000 cavities and 18,000 extractions necessary, 73,000 in all. If each one causes an average loss, through waste of time and cost to repair, of $2 it means a 'cost of $156,000. In New York city last year 67,000 children failed to be promoted to higher grades because of defective teeth, and it costs New York city $1,037,696 to duplicate a year's schooling to those who fail."
