TO ADVERTISERS
THE ETERNAL, BALANCE.
Just about thistime of the year
there are many injunctions in the pub-
lic press to "swat the fly," with a pro-
mise of the most direful results if this
warning be not followed, But few
people know much about the real truth
of the fly question, beyond the fact
that
r ier of the
i a car
the houseflys h
g
crus o certain diseases, such
astY
ty-
phoid fever, intestinal disorders and
tuberculosis. There is, however, an-
other side to the question, and some of
the greatest entomologists on the North
American continent diseuss it in the
June number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
The following question is raised: "If
the fly be exterminated, supposing that
were possible, would it tend to upset
the `balance of nature,' and result in
some other plague that might be even
worse than the flies themselves?" And
it is argued:
"Similar things have, happened be-
fore. The decimation of the coyotes
resulted in a plague of gophers. The
mongoose was practically exterminated,
and the rats multiplied so as to become
a menace. The weasels were killed off
and the rabbits overran the country-
side and ate up every green thing in
sight. Th English sparrow was im-
ported to oastroy the measuring worm,
and now people are wondering how to
kill off the sparrow, which has increas-
ed so alarmingly as to become a pest.
In Northern China the wolves kept
down the marmot or land otter, but
when the natives waged war on the
wolf the marmot increased and spread.

EMPIRE BUILDING.
John. Burns has submitted an en-
couraging report on emigration to the
Imperial Conference. At the last con-
ference a policy of advising emigrants
to the colonies was initiated. There
were at that time only one-third of
those who left the United Kingdom re-
maining in the British dominions.
Last year the proportion had more than
doubled, sixty-eight per cent, of British
emigrants going to outlying parts of
the Empire, and this year, only five
months of which have passed, the per-
centage has risen to eighty. It is high-
ly important that where we are receiv-
ing, 300,000 immigrants yearly from all
nationalities - this year it will probably
be larger -that there should be as
great a percentage as possible of Bri-
tish blood. American citizens are
heartily welcome because ',they know
something of our institutions, but the
British born immigrant is, if of the
right class, still better.
Mr. Burns states that the mother
country has now come to a point when
she can spare no more than 800,000 a
year. We can accommodate all these
if they are of good character. Austra-
lia and South Africa will need some of
them, but if they are industrious and
have the other qualification of good
citizenship they are welcome here.
The opportunities for them in this land
could be no better, but if they have
not been successful at home they will
not be here. The Imperial Conference
can do not more important work in the
building of Empire than by directing
the stream of British emigration into
the British lands beyond the seas, be-
cause it will tend to keep these lands
British in character and ideals.
TEST YOUR COWARD COWS.
Records of dairy cows are always of
interests, not only to the owner who is
anxious to increase the yield, but also
to the neighboring dairymen who de-
sire some standard whereby to check
the production of their cows. In April
the yield of 10 cows near Birnam, Ont.,
was 383 pounds of butter fat; but from
records to hand from the cow testing
association near Bobcaygeon, Ont., it
is seen that it took 21 cows, more than
twice as many, to produce just as much
butter fat.

for instance, as a seven-year-old grade

An Educative Force.
Inspector Burgess, of North Grey,
has this to say: A good school well
built, well kept, and finished in good
taste, is an educative force in itself
that cannot be estimated in the life of
the children that are fortunate enough
to spend their school years within its
walls. A girl trained in such a school
will never be satisfied with untidy sur-
roundings, or an unhygenic home. It
means better homes, better men, better
women, better citizens.

THE BURDENS OF AGE.
The kidneys seem to be about the
first organs to wear out and fail to
do their work. The result is a weak,

season this year has been favourable
for field crops in all parts of Canada,
and excellent reports have been receiv-
ed from all the provinces. The lowest
percentage of condition is made for
fall wheat, which suffered from inade-
quate protection in the winter months,
and also to some extent from spring
frosts. The areas of fall wheat are
greater than last year by 4.50 per cent.
and of spring wheat by 13.70 per cent.
The total area in wheat is 10,503,400
acres, as compared with 9,294,800 in
1910 and 9,750,400 in 1909. The per
cent condition of fall wheat at the end
of May was 80.63, and of spring wheat,
96.69. The area in oats is 10,279,800
acres and its condition 94,76, as com-
pared with 9,864,100 acres and 93.95
per cent condition last year. Barley
and rye each show a small decrease in
area, but the condition is higher than
at the same period last year. Slight
decreases are• also reported for areas
of peas, mixed grains, and hay and
clover, with per cent condition of over
90. Hay and clover have a reported
condition of 91.45 for the Dominion,
being practically 100 in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta. The area of
the field crops named is 32,051,500 acres
for 1911, compared with 30,554,200
acres for 1910 and 28,194,900 acres for
1909. In the provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta the area in
wheat, oats and barley was 3,491,413
in 1900, 6,009,389 acres in 1905, 11,952,-
000 acres in 1909, and 13,809,300 acres
in 1910, and it is 15,355,500 acres this
year. The increase of these crops from
1900 to 1911 was 2,633,699 acres in
Manitoba, 7,364,315 acres in Saskatche-
wan and 1,836,073 acres in Alberta.
Guarding the Bank of England.
For 130 years, says the London cor-
respondent of the New York Sun, one
of the most familiar street sights of
London has been the company of
Guardsmen, in charge of an officer,
marching toward evening from the
Chelsea or Wellington Barracks to the
Bank of England. For the last few
years, owing to the greatly increased
traffic of the streets, they have gone
by the underground railway. In future
the Bank of England's nightly guard is
to be drawn from the guards stationed
in the Tower of London, and the old
custom of the nightly march will be re-
vived.
The custom of providing a little gar-
rison of guards for the Bank of Eng-
land every night dates back to 1780, the
time of the Gordon riots. The troops
are made very comfortable in the bank,
and the officer in command is provided
with a dinner for himself and two
friends. Of course, an allownnce of
win's, satisfactory from both points of
view, in. made.

Canadian Home Journal.
Two new serial novels start in June
number of Canadian Home Journal,
"The House of Windows" by Mrs.
Isable Ecelestone MacKay and "Honey-
moon in Hiding," the joyous adventure
of two new weds who discovered after
starting on the honeymoon that all
their money has been stolen. "The
HouseofdWindows" is the first novel
written by Mrs. McKay one of the most
brilliant of Canada's short story wri-
ters, whose work is noted for the ori-
ginility of plot and expression. The
scene of the first installment is laid in a
big department store at the time of the
ribbon sale. A most surprised man is
Mr. Flynn, the floor walker and Miss
Twiss, head sales woman, when a de-
serted go-cart containing a baby is
found hidden by the broad counters.
These first chapters lay the founda-
tion for a most interesting story. The
serials with several fine short stories
make it an excellent fiction number.
Wedding features have a prominent
place in June, suggestions for the
bride's bouquet, flower baskets for
flower girls, bouquet for the matron of
honor, are written by an experienced
florist and are most attractively illus-
trated. What to get and what not to
get for wedding presents will make
many a reader's selection a more suit-
able one. With the society reporter
when on the hunt for wedding news is
one of those sketches that all of us en-
joy, we all want to 'get "behind the
curtain".
An attractive new feature started in
the Journal is the luncheon page with
excellent menus and recipes for all of
the dishes. The way of serving the
different courses and arrangement of
the table are splendidly illustrated,
pictured they are most dainty and ap-
petizing dishes, this promises to be a
most helpful and attractive series.
Every month seems to find the Jour-
nal with better material, better illu-
strated, more attractive and it deserves
a welcome in every Canadian household.

War Itself Will Soon be Obsolete
War itself promises soon to be as
obsolete as the quill pen by which
treaties of peace were formerly sign-
ed. As J. K. Jerome points out in the
Labor Leader of Great Britain, the
fighting instinct of people is based
largely on what has been considered
self-interest. As knowledge of the fact
becomes more general that nations,
instead of being rivals, are really sup-
plemental to each other, and that the
prosperity of one means the prosper-
ity of all, this superstition regarding
what has been supposed to hd self-
interest will gradually disappear.
One of the chief means by which this
each key to it is in the possession of
a different person. The gold lies piled
on trunks to facilitate removal, or is
heaped against the walls in sacks.
The spread of the. destructive cotton

destruction of birds which formerly supplying the other with whiellit could

I said, "if I stay on the job." And

FEEDING THE FARM HORSE.
Faulty Methods Responsible For Many
Diseases.
Probably the most important part'
in the care of the horse is the feeding.
A large majority of the diseases among
farm horses result from faulty feeding,
says C. L. Barnes of the Colorado ex-
periment station. Many make the mis-
take of not securing the best feed.
Their trouble begins when partially
matured. musty, dusty feed is used,
Several points should betaken into
consideration when the amount of feed
is decided upon, whether the animal is
accustomed to dry feed and if in good
flesh or in thin, emaciated condition.
A. horse should not be fed a large
quantity of hay and grain without ex-
ercise. hinny think that because a
horse Is thin in flesh no work should
be required of him. It is always best
to work the flesh into the animal
rather than to fatten him as a steer.
A good plan is to have a stated pro-
gram as to time and amount of feed to
be given. Horses by all means should
be fed regularly.. Hay requires time
for mastication and digestion. For•
this reason the large percentage of
hay should be fed at night. Rorses
soon learn the manner of giving food
and water, so it is best to have one,
feeder and have this plan followed.
out for all the horses. The horse
should receive some water the first
thing in the morning. After watering
feed a small amount of hay and thea
give grain after the hay has been
eaten. By this plan the feed, which is

The Shire blood is producing a
draft horse that has no superior.
Some three or four years ago one
of the greatest honors ever won by
a grade gelding was won in the
auction ring at Chicago. This horse
was the roan Shire gelding that
sold for the handsome sum of 5660.
This price still stands as a record
at the greatest horse market in the
world. Shiro breeders and import-
ers have paid very little attention
to showing geldings. They have
been satisfied with the splendid
showing they have made in the
markets of America. If e, man lets
the horse buyer know that he has
some grade Shires to sell he will
get a price for them that is seldom
reached by any other breed. The
Shire stallion shows was a winner
at Chicago.
the most difficult to digest, Is left ill '
the stomach and therefore receives
proper digestion.
The noon feed should be given after
the horse is cooled and has been allow-
ed to rest for 15 minutes or half an
hour. A small quantity of water may
be given soon after the horse is
brought to the barn. Feed hay, and
when the animal is thoroughly cooled
give all the water be desires, after
which feed the grain. At night feed
the same as at noon, only give more
hay -in fact, feed as much hay at night
as is gives at both morning and noon
meals. When working bard feed large
quantities of grain. ft is advisable
once a week to give a bran .mash for
the evening meal. The bran 'acts as a
laxative and prevents indigestion and
possibly a case of colic.
Good Sires •in Demand.
The reports of the various state
stallion boards Show by actual statis-
tics that from 45 to 65 per cent of the
sires in use are grades. As it Is ad-
mittedly true that a considerable num-
ber of pure bred sires now to use are
too interior to be long continued in
service it seems safe to say that
not to exceed one•third of the drert
