The use of milk substitutes for the weaned Pig has received, considerable attention on the experimental farm enstena avemege of results of three yea' wok at Ottewa leith tankage reveals the following facts: 1. That as an additon to the ration already containing railk, oil meal is superior to tankage. 2. That a direct replacement of milk by tankage snows the lowest gains and the highest cost of production: a the five rations fed. .3. That thalots receiving no tankage usually made highest gains at the lowest cost. • 4. That tankage, while useful in cor- recting an unbalanced ration, showed' poorly when added to rations al- ready showing variety and fair bah once, particularly illustrating the cora- Iterative value of skim -milk. Grain, oil meal and inilk required 1.39 pounds meal per pound gain; grain, tankage and milk, 1.64 pounds; grain, tankage and water, 2.59 pounds, and gate and milk, 1.64 pounds. ' As mentioned, these results were ob. tatted from an experiment in tripli- cate, or carried on similarly in three censecative years, That tankage, how- ever, may be re,garded as a fair sub- stitute for milk, -while by no meats equalling it, would be indicated by an experiment at the Experimental Ste - than at Brandon. Here three lots of pigs were fed No. 1, grain only; No. 2, grain and tank- age; No. 3, grain and buttermilk. - White high gains at a low cost were particularly in eyidence as the result orieeding buttermilk, a very considerahle reduction in cost of production and a marked increase in gains are seen evbere tankage was added to the etraight grain felon. Grain only made gains of .92 pourid daily, costing 9.8e. Per pound; grain and tankage, 1.39 pounds-da•ilse costing 7.1e. per pound; grain and buttermilk, 1.57 pounds daily, costing 6c. per pound.

Poisoned Cont. -When crows are noticed on the field, take some corn say two gallons, More or less, accord- ing to the size of the field, and boil for about thirty minutes in just suf- ficient water to cover corn to the depth of one inch. To the water and corn, before boiling, add about 0110. eignth ounce of sirYclanine or, better still, of strychnine sulphate, for each gallon of water. Allow the corn td lie in the strychnine and water over night/in the morning drain off nuy water remaining _and :scatter the corn thinly over the corn field. In making use, of the above plan great care should be taken to pour the water off the corn into some hole or In a spot not likely to be frequented by childreo or domestic animals. Caro should also be taken to keep poultry off the corn field for two or three weeks after the poisoned corn has been scattered thereon. 4. A. device much used In some lo- calities is "stringing the field." Stakes 3 or 4 feet high are placed here and there and connected by twine to which may be attached pieces of paper or bits of bright tin. Dead crows obtain- ed by method 3 MOT also be attached to the twine or stakes. The time- honored "scarecrow" may also be tried but it must be admitted that the crow of to -day does not seem very deeply impressed by this old device. 6. lE crows are noticed in or near the corn field have a boy watch the field for 2 or 3 days, firing a gun now and then.when the crows are in sight and showing himeelf quite openly. Then put up a sort of tent in the field (a stack cover or binder cover will do.) The crows are never sure but that the boy with the gun is in the tent and will give the npot a wide berth. A combination of some or all of the above plans, which are simple and inexpensive and have been tested out with good results, will soon per- suade the crow that the locality is an undesirable one. The use of Miller's Worm Powders insures healthy children SO far as the ailments attributable to worms are coneerned. A high mortality among =children is traceable to worms. These sap the strength of infants so that they are unable to maintain the battle Lor life and succumb to weakness. This preparation gives promise of health and keeps it. • for weanere, or a ration lacking milk, tankage has a place, but that, as an additiot to an already balanced and suitable ration, no adequate return is likely from the use of the high-priced meat by-product. A further attained comparison ot milk substitutes for weaned pigs was afforded at Ottawa in 1917, Here skim-rnilk was fed to all lots; meal and milk; meal, milk and 10 per cent. tankage; meal, milk and 10 per cent, lip meal. The grain and milk lot gave slightly cheapen gains and was superior in condition, indicating that tbe addition of the concentrates men- tioned was not economical. For growing bogs fed on dry or out- side paddock, milk showed to distindt advantage at Ottawa in 1917 in eelf• - feeding trlals. Hogs fed milk in self' federe with skim -milk in troughs gave gains of 1.05 pounds daily, cost- ing 5.3c. per pound. ltleal, self -fed, with tankage replacing milk with ate other lot. gave gains of .62 pound daily, `'.costing 16.2c, per pound. The skim - /atilt fed lot required 1.79 pounds meal and the tankage -fed pigs, 3.0 pounds meal per pound gain. In,- the experime,nts rPferred to in the foregoing, all lots were practically identical in age, weight and thrift, at the start of operations.

Canada, the most eerious enemy to the corn crop is the crow. A &lea of shot is an. infallible cure for the latter'e fondness for corn, but, unfor- tutiately, it is more easily preecribed than administered. There are, how- ever, other m,eans of conabatting flee trouble 1. Treating the Seed. -Immerse the corn for 2 or 3 minutes in water as hot as can be borne by tbe hand. Drain, and while the eorn is still moist and warm, add half a, cupful of teal tar or phle tar per gallon of geed. Stir until every kernel Is coated -with tar. As a drier, add a small quantity of lime, plaster, or even dry road dust.

He said: "Fleet -The digestive type. It is characteristic of the heavy jaw, broad abdominal region. Such men require more food, need it regularly, must be well fed. Such men are best on the defensive: They are hard to dislodge from the trenches. "Second. -The respiratory type.. Nos- trils and ears are large; large, long chest; demand plenty of pure air; get restive under confinement. Such men 'aro selected fOr work on high moun- tains. They are good in the charge, in making an attack. Such men exclus- iy are selected for the aviation corps. . "Third -The muscular types Head 13 'squarer llinbs long and strona, body short. This type is good for the bayo- net charge in the artillery service. "Fourber-The nervous type. Largo head tapers down to a sharp jaw. Such men have power to draw upon their reserves. They can get their second wind. The really greet are men of this type. Along with the type is closely associated a willing- ness to sacrifice self for the good of others..

Let us analyze some of therm aerauties terms, When beginaing a flight, a pilot us- ually "taxies" hie machine from out- side the hangars to a position on the aerodrome before "taking off." -To "taxi" is to Inove forward over the ground on the undercarriage wheels with less power than is needed for flight with the motor 01117 partly working. "Taking oft" is the initiet run across the aerodrome with engine "all out," In the process ot getting up flying speed before leaving the ground. The elect manoeuvre for some pilots would be a "zoom."' To "zoom" means to accelerate epeed by a dive with full engine power and then to swing upwards until the momentum le spent a glorified switchback. It is usually peeformed as at showy sort of departure, especially if tbe passenger teat is occupied by one who is about to 'enjoy bis first flight. 11 produces the Mod of fe,oling one experioncee itt a Int, going down suddenly. This manoeuvre introduces us to a "sten," or position which results from loss of flying speed. There is a mini- mum forward speed capable of holding an aeroplane in the air, and in "stall- ing" the nose of the machine is held up at so great an angle from the hori- zontal that forward movement ccase.s, and the supporting power of the wings is lost, ' The forc3 of gravity aeserts itself, and this the engine is unable to overcome. - We now pioceed to "get height."

A phalanx in the military affairs of Greece was 5 square battalion or 'body of seldiers formed In ranks and files - compact and deep, with their shields joined and pikes crossing each other so as to render it almoet impossible to break it. At first the phalanx con- sisted of 4,000 men, but this number was afterward doubled by Philip ot Macedon, and the double phalanx is hence often called the alacedentan elute:tux. Polybitie describes it thus: "11 was a square of pikemen, con- sisting of sixteen hi flank ana 500 in front' The soldiers otood so close to- gether that the pikes of the fifth rank extended three feet beyond the front. The rest, whoee pikes were riot ser- viceabletowing to their distance from the front, couched them on the shoul- ders of those who etood before them and, so locking them together in file, pressed forward to suppore and push on the former rank, by which means the aseault was rendercd more violent and irresistible."
