The practIce of allowing calves to mat n with their dams until large enough tor weaning has been proved unprofitable where there is a market for milk or buterfat.

Overfeeding, irregular feeding, dirty pails, cold milk, sour milk, or old milk will eansa trouble, The most critical periods in the life of the young calf are at the age of four to . six weeks, when the feed is changed from whole to skim milk, and six or 10 weeks, when the calved is beginning to eat grain and hay. Calves are al- ways. greedy, and for this season overa feeding sheeld be avoided. It is a well-recognized fact, though one to often overlooked in selecting sites for orchards, that cold air settles to the lower levels. For this reason it is often colder at the lower .eleva, tions than it is at higher points in the same locality. This is what is meant by "atmospheric -arainage." the occur- rence of frost in low places where • there is none on elevated areas is thus explained. For the same reason peach Mide Are often a inter -killed or the spring in low places when near- by orchards on higher elevations are injured much less, or even escape en- tirely, -P.uttIng the efficiency test to sows with the milk scales and the Babcock tester Is one of the essentials of con- ducting a successful dairy.

The Babcock test will show tb.ose delinquent eows in their true light, and the milk scales will put the clincher on the argument. Testing cows will give some farmers a big surprise. Some times the cow that looks like the poorest creature in the let is the best butterfat pro- ducer. .

Enough matches to light all its con- tents are attached to a recently in- vented cigarette box. Leon Trotzky, lately so prominent in Russian politics, was at one time a moving picture actor in America, APPLE SCALD AND JONATHAN SPOT, la a recent paper (Journal of Agri- cultural Research, Vol; XL No. 7), there are given some very interesting notes on these two storage troubles of apPlea, and since present conditiarts demand most careful preservation of all -food materials; the Central Ex- perimental Farm, through its patho- logical service, issue - a statement whicla should be of especial interest to every Canadian who has apples ili his cellar or warehouse. The follow- ing shert account of 'these two apple troubles, based largely on the article In question, atme at pointing out the meaner that may be taken to avoid scalding and epotting of our scanty bet ''valuable supply of this fruit in storage. ai ia apples is a browning of the skin nde deter tissue. It is different from rots, because in rots the brown- ing goes very deep into the tissue, 'whereas maid only affects the skin and the flesh' immediately beneath. Bot spots are usually definite in out- line, while scald areas are often more 'or less irregular in shape. However, scald areas are very often invadedby rbt fungi, so that ordinarily one may expect to find all sorts of corubina- trona of the two. The "Jonathan Spot," so called from its being found very frequently on the Jonathan variety, also develops in etorage on several standard varieties. such as Northern Spy, Greening, etc. The spots are usually small, less than y, inch in diameterand are sunken and brown. The flesh under the skin Is brown and somewhat day and corky. There is another spot diaease, the Baldwin Spot, or Steven, which may be mistaken for the Jonathan Spot. The Baldwin Spot, however, develops when the apple is growing, and will be present when the fruit is picked, :Whereas the Jonathan. Spot develops daring storage. Moreover,. the Bald- win Spot may be found all though the fruit, while the Seuathan Spot oc- curs as small stinker, brown epots on the surface only. Both spot and ecald arise from im- proper storage conditions, and will likely be worse on fruit that hes not matured properly before being 'picked. The three etorage conditions that fav- or spot and staid development are (1) High temperature. (2) Humidity. (3) Stagnant air. It should be understood that the fruit is not completely dor- mant, during the storage period, but there Is a constant, if small, continu- ation of .growth processes throughout thee whole period. These proceed& re- sult la mathring or mellowing the ap- ple, and the chemical proceeses ethich occur during them involve the absorp- tion of oxygen from •the air and the giving out of carbon dioxide. It is, in fact, a slow breathing process. When apples are stored. in e. place where they have no free access tep air they *re "emothered," and the scald which deVelops on them is due to abnormal chemic.al changes brought about be- cause of an inadequate air supply, If the room is to warm, the growth pro- mese& are quickened, and scald or tatting is increased. Very moist or Ilumid air alao aggravates these trou- bles. It is elevlous that in an ordinary cel- lar,spotting and scalding can be largely 'avoided by a Itttle attention to' the heeds of the fruit for cool, dry conditions and a contingOus supply of fresh air eluting the storage period. It la recommended, (I) that apples should be stored In small lots rather than In 'large, close piled or bins. They abould preferably be kept in open slatted boxes er other similar contain- ers, which wilt allow all the fruit to bave free access t3 air.

In almost all eases 601110 simple means of securieg frequent change of air can be readily adopted, and the fruit thus kept free from scald and 'spot trotrbles. • NOTES. • Why not enlarge the Mestere till it Is sufficient to graze calves enough kr the fttrees beef supply and a few to sell?

As fall comes on, •the poultry keeper should cull the old stock, dispose of surplus cockerele, and get rid of serub pullets, More meat, more eggs, and more profits will result, The primary need for poultry is, to supply our homes with nitrogenous foods. These keep the body iu health and strength; they take the place of red meats on the table, for poultry and eggs can supplant beef, mutton and pork in our dietaries. But, it poultry sheuld be greatly Increased for the sole purpose, of eliPPlying meat fee the table, the egg supply would not meet our needle, For general food uses eggs are more inlportant than the fowls themselyee.e One of the needs for better pohltry is to give as great an egg supply with a fewer number of fowls. This can be done by proper culling the older hens. The time to slaughter a hen for the table or market is when she is no longer capable of profitable egg production. Thie is utilizing th, dual-purpose hen to the best advan- tage. Testa have ehoevn that fear hens are profitable after two laying years. Hens should be carefully culled, there- fore, in their second year. The first hens to be culled for meat are the fat birde, which are uaually poor layers. But to -day a fat hen is a store of wealth. Such a hen will fre- quently yield from a pound to a pound and a half of fat. This is conoentrated food. It yields heat for , the human body. The money.value of this fat may run from 40 to 65 cents. In addition, the flesh will be worth 35 or 40 cents a pound. While the heavier dual-pur- pose fowls may grow fat, which has been regarded as a fault, it Is not to their disadvantage in war times. Kill off the older fat hens for the meat, the fat, and the money they will bring. HENS FOR LAYING: Some hens molt early and others molt late. It has been found better to keep early -molting hens for late fall and winter egg production. These ueually begin laying before the pul- lets, and continue laying all winter. Moreover, these birds make the best 'breeders for early hatching of vigor- ous chicks. If early molting hens show sigma of health and vied', they should be retained for winter egg pro- duction, and as breeders for maintain- ing the vitality of the flock. But late -molting hens should be killed or sold for table use. They have served their economic usefulness as late layers. As a rule, they would be fed all winter at a loss. They re- quire more food to maintain the heat of the body on account of their lack of feathers to keep them warm. The more food expended in keeping up bodily heat, the leee surplus energy is produced for creating feathers. Hence the molting process takes longer than in summer. Se, it ,has been found •economy to turn late -molting hens ieto meat than to keep them for egg production. CONCERNING SCRUB PULLETS. Besides the old hens, many young birds should be fitted for table use. This applies particularly to surplus cockerels and scrub pullets, The lat- ter usually lack vitality. As such they make poor layers and worse breeders. The best thing is to feed them on a fattening ration for two or three week', and then ship them to market. This course will not only save time, annoyance and expense, but it will prove profitable. As a rule, 50 per ee,nt. of the chick- ens hatched are cockerels. A little attention given to systematic feeding will yield the producer a good profit, For table purposes there is no better THIS WEAK, NERVOUS MOTHER Tells How Lydia E.

Surplus cockerels and scrub pullete sold for this purpose will improve the meat situation this winter. This applies, also, to the disposal of surplus breeding males. Why keep a male that is no longer needed for breeding? "The, males for meat" - this was a slogan of the Kansa e ex- periment station aud It proved a great financial' benefit to farmers in that • state. The advantage in the produc- tion of infertile, eggs was worth a million dollars. COCKERELS FOR MARKET. The best cockerels needed for breed- ing should be carefully selected. The others should be penned by them- selves. For putting flesh on them they must be fed liberally. A variety of feeds help digestion. Experiments have shown that oats, whole or ground, are excellent for putting flesh on cock- erels. Since this is now one of the cheapest grains, to feed oats works to the advantage of poultry raisers. The following rations have given good results: First thing in the morning the cock- erels are given a little grain mixture composed of two parts, by measure„ of eats and equal parts of corn, wheat and scratch feed, About 9 o'clock they are fed a wet mash consisting of two parts bran, one part middlings and one-half part each of ground oats, cornmeal, meat meal and boiled pota • toes. • At noon they receive a small quantity of the grain ration. Plenty of green feed is supplied morning and night, In three, weeks' time the cock- erels are fat enough to 4r.arket. This fall and winter such birds will prob- ably bring 60 cents a pound. Every poultry keeper should deter- mine ea early as possible, how many pullets he intends to winter and then sell the others. If his surplus birds are standard in size and vitality, they should be sold to aomeone who pro. pose,s to keep them for egg produc- tion. There 'is always a demand for such pullets. If there are any scrub pullets in the remainder of the flock, cull them out and fit them for market in the mannes describesl fer cockerels. IS POOR POLICY. It is poor policy to sell young pullets as roaerere 111 the fall months simply because they biing a little higher price per pound at that time, unless they art scrubs. It is one's patriotic duty to keep every pronereing pullet for egg production. In the past I have examined numerous orates of roaster thipments only to surprised at the large number of fine tenets that are sold as meat. eepparently no effort had been made to cull the ecrubs frem the best pullets of the flock. The profit In raising pullet roasters to that age would be trifling compared to what it would be if sue% eullets had been kept for egg production and then sold for meat after their profitable laying period was over. The folly of this kind of business cannot be too strongly emphasized. eeteettereilline:telt=e£3eZetAteetee A Cure tor Bad Breath "Bad breath is a sign of decayed teeth, foul stomach or unclean bowel."

Perseing, the commander-in-chief of the American Army in France, went into the army at all. He intended to be a school -teacher -in fact, he meet surely would have been a school -teacher if it hadn't been for a newepaper article, One day he read an animaseement in a paper that exanilnations '.vee to be held for a., anointment to Los West Point Military Academy. The announcement attracted him, Ile asked his sister's advice on the mat- ter, Should he try for the appoint- ment; His sister advised him most certainly to do so. So John Pershing went in for the exam., heart and soul, with the result that he received the highest marks of any of the candidates. And that start- ed his military career. He went through the Military A.23- demits, became a subaltern in due course, and, like Many other subal- terns of his timd, fought in the vari- oue. American wars and skirmishes. He reached the rank of captain, and fought in the Philippine Islands. Nothing very startling in. his eareer so far. Then it was that his big promotion came. President Roosevelt had his eye on Captain Pershing, saw the very excel- lent work he had done Iii the Philip- pines, and, at one stroke, raised him from the 'rank of captain to that of brigadier -general. President Roosevelt knew he was the man for the Rib, so he put him straight there without more ado, ig- noring the intervening ranks, jumping him over the heads of more than 000 other officers to „do so, and creating a record for promotion in the United States Army. One can Imagine that General Pershing will be very courageous in the matter of promotion out in France, and raise a man to whatever position he merits, and ia fitted for, irrespective of What rank he is, seeing that he himself was raised in that Way, The full grade of general was re- vived when Brigadier -General Penh- ign came over with the first American Army for France. Only, four officers in the history of Amerlea have borne thie title -namely, Washington, Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan. General Pershing is in favor of com- pulsory military training and service. and it is one of his saylage that "vol- untary recruitment is a relic of mili- tary inefficieney." The American general is an ideal t5pe of soldier, good-natured aed charming, though there ie More than a hint of the powerful will and high military training in the lined forehead and straight clear CYO% He is known to his men -among whom he is immensely popular - as "Fighting John," "Kitchener Persh- ing," and "Black Jack," ;Many Englishmen -etho have spoken to the general are extremely surprised that his speech is singularly free from the American "accent." He is a shy, retiring man, where military matters are not concerned, and has a thorough dislike to publicity. 'Curiously enough, General Persh- ing's ancestors came from Alsace. His forefather Frederick came to Balti- more with his brother John front, Al- sace in 1745, sad eettled in Pennsyl- vania. There is a public roati leading from the little Village of rieauman, in Alsace, which is called Pershing Road, though it is spelt "Pforshing," which in Alsatian patois means "the peach." Whether this react really dates from the time General Pershing's angestors lived there is uncertain, but Arneri- cane like to think it does. Now General Pershing is doing his best to help the French to wrest the land of his ancestors from the iron band Of Germany. General Pershing is flftvenx years of age, He was married in 1905, and in 1915 the tragedy of his life occurred. His wife and three young daughters were burned to death in a fire at the Presidio, an army post near San reati- el. to, where tie was tuen stationed. , ADMIRAL W. S. Stele.

La Grippe, or Spanish influesiza As the epidemic now sweeping over all America is called, is one of the most dangerous diaeases known to mans kind. Anyone who has felt Its pangs Is not likely to forget the trouble. La Grippe, or influenza, starts with a slight cold and ends with a complica- tion of troubles. It lays the victim on his back it torturea hen with fevers and chills, headaches and back- aches. It leaves him a prey to pneu- monia, bronchitis, consumption and other deadly diseases. Its after effects are often more serious than the dieease itself. It Is quite possible to avoid la grippe by keeping the blood rich and red by the use of Dr. Williants' Pink Pills -a tonic medicine which enriches the bleed and strengthens. the neyves. If, however, the disease attacks you, the patient should at once go to bed, and call a doctor before complications set in. That is the, only safe thing. te do. But to recover your strength after the severity of the shock has passed, you will find Dr. Williams' Pink Pill an unsurpassed tonic. Through the use of this medicine all the e,vil after effects of this trouble will be &atoll< ed. This has been proved in thou- sands of cases threughout Canada, Where in previous sestsons la grippe has attacked them. Among. the many thus metered to _full health is Miss Irene Bootes, Portsluouth, Ont. who says: "I take. much pleasure in re- eammesidliag Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, because I have proved their worth ill my own case.

A Simple Method by Which One May Measure'llis Development, People often duffer from weak, un- developed lungs without suspecting it. True, small, feeble lungs are usPally associated with a small, narrow or sunken chest, but not invariably. By meatts of the misuse of physical cul- ture it is possible to develop large chest muscles, „thus acquiring a big •ehest measurenleitt, while the lungs remain Mail and ill -nourished. Again, rung mischief is often' so slow and insidious in its approach that the trouble is not discovered un- til it is firmly established.
