The ravages of war have extended VIM Noyon to the nursery, from the Piave .to the perambulator, and a meeting of the Rabies' Protection League washeld one summer day near the Peter Pan statue in Kens- ington Gardens to protest against the threatened embargo on the mantis facture of bassinettes, go-carts, and similar necessities of juvenile pro- gression, It all arose in this way. The ins Pant brother of the lion. Grizel (ac- cent on the last syllable) found him- self vociferous but unvehicular. He had no pram., his father the Earl having sold the family 0 -springs to buy War Loan. Telephones buzzed, telegraph wires hummed, postmen perspired, but each method of inquiry addressed to makers of perambulators failed to make good the deficiency. There was none to be had, none was being made, and the old stocks were sold out. It was the vision of her patrician brother in a soap box on casters that caused the Hon, Grizel (aged ten) to - convene the meeting. In an impas- ; stoned speech she condemned the Government, censured the war, - Scratched her nurse, and moved, seconded, and carried a resolution - calling on the Premier to resign. Shortly before she herself was moved and carried (out), a small boy — aplebeian from Peckham named Festubert Jellicoe Salonika Jones --saved the situation, He ad- dressed the gathering from the well at the family chariot emblazoned with the heraldry of the Jones clan (a tin bucket with tiddlers rampant and a sugarless bun squashant). Both he and the prehistoric convey- ance were tireless, and ere he had finished his auditors had been cooed into comparative content, and gur- gled into graceful acquiescene in war conditions. Master F. J. S. Jones was under- stood to say that the manufacturers - had scrapped their plant to make self-propelling chairs for wounded soldiers. He appealed to his fellow - heirs -of -all -the -ages to stifle their inherent predictions to comfort, to adopt an attitude of self-effacing patriotism equal at least to that of their parents, and go without coaches. (It didn't sound like this, but that is what he meant.) "Better a scooter in the park than a cycle in Cathay," he added amid loud crows, "if it means that our convalescent warriors have to be chairless," The Government was saved! "But it is so," said a maker of these things to the London Express representative. "If the war lasts much longer we shall be unable to make any perambulators at all, and mothers will be forced to carry their youngsters till they are old enough to walk. We may yet see babies slung across the shoulder like red Indian papooses,". RESOURCES ARE POOLED. Trade Jealousies Forgotten In Tinies of War. Co-operation is the watchword of the manufacturers in Manchester (Eng.) engaged in making muni- tions. Before the war each concern guarded its factory secrets zealously, but when the plants were dedicatee( to the Mlinitirns needs of the Gov- ernment, all resources were pooled, trade jealousies were forgotten and factory secrets were freely exchang- ed to further the common cause. More than 200 firms in that city undertook to carry out Government contracts, In the case of small firing unable to take over individually -an entire contract, several club together and do five-seventha of the work re- quired, The remaining two -sevenths is performed at an assembly plant, and any profit tirade there is divided among the various contractors includ- ed in the group, The Geverntttent's hoard of Man- agement in the Manchester area has placed contracts for amounts run- ning into many millions of pounds a year. Production amounts to 300,- 000 00;000 shells weekly, and vast quantities of otlipigi: Zchere,ef yeasnitleononssiilsupplerablesis 'waste in shell' manufacture" at the outset in Private factetriee Awing to the crt;de methods that had tel be employed before the proper kind of equipment could be installed, The first price Pt 2$ Shillings tot' 1.3 -pound shells has been reduced to 11', and 12 shil- lings, and it is stated that the manu- facturers are making a larger profit now at the reduced price. Many of the converted plants turn- ing out shells are run on a non- profit basis, Many others dey oto zIl net returns to philanthrop4o war work' or invest the money in war bonds. . The Colonel's Problem, The following advertisement from a London newspaper shows that a colonel had a greater problem than commanding his men: "Colonel, young wife and small ruffian of angelic exterior, aged our, otter hgme, beard and $150 a year 10 p, young lady who will undertake to instill into said ruffian the ele- lnents of a Bayard, develop a natur- ally strong affection and help said Wife in house and domestic duties.

Compton- Ricicett and Sir Albert Spicer at the House of Commons .recently, In proposing Drt kIewett's health the Premier bald that Britain needed alt tier neat proacht•rs nor only < t the present time, but. for coming events, says the London Metl. "There is a new lend confrontine us," he said, "better or worse, it will be a new country. When the war !s over the failing back into norniLl conditions will he a disturbance, so- cial and economic. All the future of Britain depends on the moral ani spiritual disturbance caused by the war.

The London Post says the authen- ieit ofthe1 t following lusts Yg .lent is taken an unquestionable. During the recent operations of the Allies. it fell to the Fourth British Army to re- occupy a town when tho Germans retreated front it. As they were mak- ing their way thrc ul h the war -scar- red streets of the town, a group of then were arrested by a sight that startled and shocked even men in- ured to the horrors of tear. On a door of one of the houses a kitten was hanging by its forepaws, which had been .nailed to the wood. The wretched creature, which might have been where it was Round at least an hour or two, watt mewing piteous- ly in agony and ei.ruggling desperate- ly with its hand legs to release itself. With the natural instinct of pita for a suffering dumb animal, one of the British soldiers rushed forware to release tiro kitten, He pulled ow the nails that piereed its paws, but the moment he slid so there was a flash and roar and his mutilated em. dismembered body was fiuing acro: the street, A hidden esplottive eharg. had been set off by the withdrawa. o1 the s, tinb 'rhe retrailtrc.t MTh() had laid 1ti trap and baited it with a kitting nail ed to a door. lir, eatculatuel inieh at. ,,;iia ,tl to Ill tii:•h itut:uanity would b; .arceietiblt, a':et he was. tight. 1'7e offer 'NB AnvANrr1 to new sub- scribers to Dec. 31st, 1910 for $1.50. kj kfigd1 f� t� flntla*'r than Pills I ,UE 1 ,A ie t„ .

If my readet is; Scotch, he or she will likely awe the question by saying, '9'es," as Scotchmen, turnips, and gond farm- ing are three things usually found together on farms in Ontario. There was a time when butter buyers were not so particular about the flavor of butter as they are at present. It is common to hear wo- men purchasers on city markets, say, to farm butter -makers, "Your bit ter is turnipy," which is sufficient tn. cause a loss of the sale. Creamery, men object very strongly to '`turnipy cream." While it is doubtless true that some carefull feeders are able tts feed quite large quantities of tttrnip:t to cows giving milk, without causing any serious trouble, there is always danger, which oan best be avoided by not feeding these to milking cows, If they are grown on the dairy farm they, are best fed to dry cows, fatten- ing cattle, young stock, pigs, etc. However, 1f they are fed in the sta,l,1lfe where cows are milking, and,, Mere: especially where the root hottg@ opens into the stable and where the turnips are pulped in the stable. or in a feed, room adjoining, the odor of the tug, nips Oils the ail;, which is carried into the mint pail at the time at milking ;t*fid thus the milk, cream, and buts ter become tainted from the stable air, even though the milk cows may not bo fed any of the turnips, The safest plan is not tC� grow turnips on a dairy farm, tiritw man-. gels, or sugar beets, bud torn far silage. These crops Zvil) give as good returns as turnips, Ur() no more ex- pensive to y,rtaw,, and are much safer. "Safety first" is a good motto ofe a dairy 'farm —Prof. H. II.

The Daily Chronicle of London had the following; note in its "office win- dow" at the time of Poch's big offen- sive:" "The Americans have gone sing- ing into battle line our own slalenditt fellows, The thought brings bacle to, memory an English scene deseribed by an eye -witness when the great. rush of 'Yanks across the Channel. began, Hour after hour thousands; upon thousands, far into the night, the Americans marched to embark he the darkness, They Went like cruse, ders, And what do you think their bands played, so near the battlefield?
