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. the plague."

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.

Dairy farmers in all provinces have done this, some are now getting three times as much milk and fat as they us- ed to obtain before they determined to gather information as to which poor cows were sheltering themselves, cow- ard fashion, behind either a fair herd average or a heavy yield from one or two extra good cows in the herd; such, for instance, as a seven-year-old grade cow near Woodstock, Ont., that gave last month 2,161 pounds of milk, test- ing 3.3 per cent of fat, thus giving over 73 pounds of butter fat in one month, almost double the good average yield above noted at Birnam. Are your cows good profitable dairy cows, or are they cowards? It will pay you to keep records of each one and so find out. 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, lame aching back, rheumatic pains and failing eyesight.

They ensure the healthful action of liver kidney and bowels. 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. The vaults of the Bank of England would make fine robbing.

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. FlaT,4B418RED,1872.

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.

Wingham 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 r A.

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.
