CARE FOR THE COW PAYS,
No branch of the dairy farming is
more important thee the feeding and
watering of the cows. The direct in-
fluence of what the cow eats and
nirlake liPon the milk she produces
eannot be too strongly impressed upon
the ettention of dairymen. Of equal
importance are the conditions upon
which food and drink are taken. If
the cows are chased by doge or overe
driven or worried by boys on *sir
way to e.n4 from the pasture their
lain will surely show the effects in a
deterioration of quality. If their she".
ter in cold weather is insufficient or.
their food is not sufficiently nutritive,
the penalty will invariably be paid in,
a smaller yield or inilk, Milk is about
87 per cent. water; hence the cow
must have plenty of good drinking,
water at all tiraes if they are to pros.
duce a plentiful supply of milk. These
retributions are inevitable.

FANNING -MILL
SELECTION
eesse-e-se-s-**4*-4-4,-**4-easeeerseessee.
(Experimental Verms Note.)
The true function of the fanning -mill is
to remove weed seeds, lignt grain and
any coarse material that may be present.
For this work it to indispensable; iter seeh
should le sown which ha o net beep thor-
oughty cleaned and graded, There are,.
however, certain , lirnitatione to this
method of selection whion, ere not always,
appreciated by the grain grower.
All impurities cannot be removed by
the use of the ranning-mill ste ie
omo-
tintes claimed. It s true that a large
part of them will be removed, but there
are always kernels ef Wiloat. Oats and.
barley that cannot be aepe.rated. A short,
plump, pin oat .cannot be removed teem
wheat, nor can a long, plump kernel of
wheat be removed from oats. Bdriey
and oats present a very eifficult problem
and the per cent. of Impurities remaining
is much larger.
Fanning-rnill selection maintains the
yield of a pure variety, but does not in-
crease it as many supopse. The constant
increase In yield that some have ebtained
from year to year has beset due to the
fact that originally their seed was im-
pure, and the larger seeds happening to
be the most productive, were selected to
the exclusion of the smaller and less pro-
lific grains.. Also, by the accIdental,mix-
ture of a few large seeds of another sort,
it can be easily understood how the ,type
of variety may be altered if fanning -mill
selection, alone is practiced. However,
this possibility can be avoided, and
should not deter any person from the nne
of the fanning -mill, Unless the grain is
thoroughly selected by this method, seeds
that are low in vitality 'will be sown,, the
result being either a defective gerndint-
tion or else weak plants that are handi-
capped throughout the season by a poor
start. Grahr- from such plants is infer-
ior in size and plumpness and recteca the
quality and yield of the general crop.
To grow pure grain of etrong vitality,
the fanning -mill must be used in con-
junction w.ith the seed plot. In tlyis.waY
fanning -mill selection reaches Rs highest
point of efficiency. All plants that are.
different In type can be removed before
harvestingand this leaves to the fan-
ning -mill only the work of rejection of
the weed seeds and inferior grain. This
combination ensures pure grain and max-
imum productSon. C. E. Saunders, Do-
minion Cerealist.

Bourgeois and Proletarian.
The word bourgeois- Is the old
Frencn word for a ottizen pf a bourg,
or city; we have the same *rd itt
English as burgher, says the youth's
Companion. OriginailY it distinguish-
ed the town dweller from the noble
who lived in his caetia or the peasant
who dwelt in the Intralet among the
fields. Then, since the bourgeois was
!likely to be a tradesman or a cr tfts-
Man the word cattle to. have that
meaning, too.
As a noun it described the thrifta.
Industrioue member of the mercan-
tile or manufacturing classes; as an
adjective it deecribed the qualities,
the etandards and the characteriatiee
of those classes. In the modern eease
of all -that employed by the Socialist
writers who take their cue from Karl
nlarx-the word' is uaed to mean those
.who have aecumulated eome property,
those who are in a position to employ
other people and to pay thorn wages.
The word proletariaa cornea from
the Latin word proles (offepring), and
2,000 years ago was used by the Ro-
mans to designate the less substantial
and uaeful members of society, these
who had nothing extept their ehildren
to offer to the supetort of the etate.
The word Mao has taken on other
shades of meaning until it has come
to be applied to a member of the com-
munity who has no other cannel than
the etrength of his liana; the laborer
or workingman who lives, as it were,
'from hand to mouth, and who has t o
reserves to support him in time of
need.

CANADIAN CHEMICALS
Survey of Industrials by Do-
minion Bureau.
la the request of the Honorary Ad-
visory Council for Scientific and In-
dustrial Research, the Dominion Bur-
eau of Statistics has eompleted a sDe-
elal survey and diredtory of Canadian.
chemical Industries. The chemist in
charge was Mr. S, J. Cool(, B. A., A. 1.
C„ who nas introduced the report
With a summary of war -time enter-
Priee and accomplishment winch must
rank as a proud chapter in tne devel-
opment of Canadian industry. Mr.
Cook refers to the construction of
Shawinigan Falls, Quebec, ot one of
the largest power reservoirs. itt. the
world, second only to the great dam
at Gatum. A city with great Indus-
,' tries has grown up at Shawinigan and
there the world's largest glacial ace-
tic aelel Want was built for war pur-
poses, an entirely new process be-
ginning with acetylene having been
developed, Other Important chemical
products of the highest grade are be-
ing manufactured there, while two
planta at Shawinigan ere producing
aluminium.
M. Cook reports that salicylic acid
and its derivitive, aspirin, are now
made nn Canada, as are many other
cliemieal& New disinfectants, closely
resembling former German products,
are appeariag from Canadian factories.
M. Gook enumerates a large number
of other eheMicals which are now be-
ing produced. in Canada for the first
time 'in conimercial quantities. He
also tells of the.expansion in lines ot
produetion .evhich, before the war,
were competitively undeveloped.
But public- support is essential if
this progress is to be maintained. War
demands built up in Canada a number
et lenge industries employing thou-
sands of workers and unless many of
these factories can find peace -time
uses for their products much of the
advantage will be lost. Already many
of theaplauts pperatecl by the Imperial
Munitions Board have been closed
and, in Bottle instances, dismantled,
but there remain many plants in the

ing and there' is room for others. Mr.

Is there such a person as the average

obviously "No." 'You might as well try

I was led to this conclusion by that ter-

a sudden threat of disaster on the 12th
of April. In such a time of peril there
must, I thought, be gome great repro-
eentative emotion thrilling all England;
and If I could judge by my own feelings,
that emotion was one of harassed anx-
iety, combined with a passionate de-
sire to •holp. Whether that were so or
not you may judge by my experience.
It was in the morning that I spoke
to the farmer. He lived 80 miles from
London, and at 10 o'clock he had not
yet °petted his morning paper, He asked
mb Uld news over the gate, shook his
head wisely at my slightly hysteria'
summary of the situation, and said it
was a 'bad Job." After that he turned
his attention to the weather and to cer-
tain complaints about the new methods
of food eontrol.
Was he representative of Rural Eng-
latel. I wondered? Unimaginative -the
broadest detail of strategY, such as rrtY
amaetur account of the threat to our
communications, manifestly meant noth-
ing to him. He had thought all his life
in terms of weather, crops, livestock and
the rna,r1tetL and he could not see the
owrld movement in theses terms.
But I had no chalice to test the rural
wand further on that day, fpr 1 carne
up to London at midday, and it was
there that my further researches were
carried On.

For two years it played its part in
the great war, but apparently it never

it was sent been to England, where it
was re -offered for civilian purposes:
Curioutsly enough, it was another
'Bedfordehire farmer who bought it.

the stamping of hoofs.
Going out, he saw a horse poking
ite head over the gate. He tried to
frighten it away, but the animal would
not budge, and an going up to it he
was amazed to fled it was his old

All the horrors of war, coupled with

the animal's love for its old muter.
