Careful repairing of tillage ma- chinery each winter or early spring with replacement of doubt- ful or worn parts has been proven by the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion at Swift Current in experiments of cost of operating farm machinery to pay large dividends by preventing major costly repairs. • Tillage implements generally re- ceive less care and more hard knocks than any other class of farm machinery. The value- of any implement can only be measured by its usefulness in acres covered, quality of work done and freedom from the neces- sity of costly repairs and delays. Delays due to breakdowns during the rush tillage season of spring and summer are costly and easily prevented if the farmer, with - a few tools and a little Lime will check over carefully every working or wearing part long before he is going to use the machine. Check over every machine care- fully for loose, worn or stripped bolts; replace broken spring wash- ers and check all loose or slack parts. Wheel and power lift bear ings, disk borings and all moving parts should be adjusted for wear. Clean all working parts of old Freese, oil, dirt and steel particles I with kerosene and replace with plenty of fresh lubricants. Plough shares, cultivator shovels, disk blades-and .all cutting edges should be sharpened well in advance of spring. Have all spare sets sharpened as well. Check the align- ment of brace arms, beams, hitches, landslides and -mould-boards. Har- row teeth and cultivator shanks gen- erally need straightening after every season's run. Make a list ft all new parts needed, secure these during the winter, and replace the old parts before spring work starts. Tests at the Swift Current Sta- tion have shown that thoroughly repaired iffiplements have trouble- free service, Whereas, carelessly checked over machines caused fre- quent loss of time and higher op- erating costs. Sharp cutting edges, correct alignment of draft uni- formity of depth and proper work- ing of all moving parts will reduce materially the draft and cost of operating tillage implements.

This fact is dis- closed by the yearly health examin- ation to which all undergraduates are subjected. In the past year only 22 out of 2,000 men examined were excused from physical exercise — these by reason of heart conditions or as a result of infantile paralysis. No trace of venereal disease was found. A remarkable tribute is paid to. our University in the recent work, "Blazing the Health Trail," by Sir Arbuthnot Lane, Bt., eminent Bri- tish medical man and educational authority. He writes: "In the Uni- versity of Toronto the boys are col- lected in large buildings, where they have the advantage of a magnificent gymasium, bathing pools, etc. They are carefully examined by medical men who are specially trained for this purpose, and they are graded as to their capacity to perform physical work. Some form of ex- ercise is insisted on for two or three years, but it bears a definite , relationship to the physique of the individual. I would suggest that a highly competent man be sent to such a University as that of To- ! ronto. where he can have an op- I portunity of studying the very thorough supervision of the physique land exercises of the youth, and on his return to England he can stimu- late the authorities of our public schools and the Government to take the matter in hand, and to deal with it thoroughly." It is surely encouraging to have the Mother Country, with her great universities and schools of learning, turning to Toronto for counsel re- garding the health of her student body. The athletic activities of the students are under the direction of Mr. Warren Stevens, whose person- al influence is helpful, and whose athletic experience makes him art efficient coach. The senior football team had a fine season of play and just failed to win the championship. Many hold the view that the senior rugby team should not play after the Intercollegiate games are over. "With this view," says Dr. Cody, "I am in accord. It is not fair to the members of the team that their col- lege studies should be unduly inter- fered with by a prolonged ,season.

If the 125,000,000,000 bees should rebel against the 125,000,000 humans who steal their honey, the whole nation would be stung to death pronto, Mrs. Parker avers. But • that is one revolution that is not going to happen. Millions of years ago bees adopted the planned economy. To eliminate the possibility of distur- bances by rugged individualists, they first fatten and then, once a year, kilt all the he bees in the hive. A revolution by neuters — well, that "just ain't"! The 125,000,000- 000 bees will continue to pile up year after year, a fat surplus of honey, according to their planned economy, and thus assure the more abundant life—for their human bosses.
