Plants grown in. a greenhouse, hot
bed or cold frame, are usually succu
lent, tender, and very attractive food
for cutworms when moved to a gar
den or field. They are usually plant
ed in carefully prepared soil which is
freq from weeds or other plants which
might afford food for hungry cut
worms. Moreover, they are very of
ten planted out in the garden or field
on warm moist afternoons or even
ings, ideal conditions for the move
ment of cutworms over the soil. Very
often there is loss during the first
night after transplanting.
Most transplanted plants represent
an outlay of from three to ten cents
each and if ten plants are destroyed
by cutworms there has been a cash
loss of from thirty cents to one dol
lar, and an equal expenditure' in re
placing such plants. One hungry cut
worm may destroy three plants in a
night and it would be an unusual gar
den which did not have more than one
cutworm within its boundaries at the
transplanting time. Every transplant

total two-thirds are females, and of a ' half that expected. In males below 35,
younger age than the men.
The practice of routine periodic ex
amination not only lowers .the death
rate very materially, but it furnishes
invaluable sources, of medical inform
ation not otherwise obtainable. Per
sons going to a medical man are more
or less seriously ill; the majority go
ing up for periodic examination are
not ill at all. But among the lot some
will be found to have illness more or
less defined. Often the routine exam
ination will discover illness at a stage
when it can be nipped in the bud.
The deaths among ’the - .18,000 in
1938 number 68 and of these 28 oc
curred at ages of 65 or over. This is
equivalent to a crude death-rate of 6.1
deaths per 1000 for males and 2.3 for
females or a combined rate‘of approx-
deep shoulders and high withers, well
sprung ribs, good legs and feet, good
action, and weighing from 970 to 1,-
100 pounds.
Horses of light draught, or light
"vanner” type should be well broken,
between .the ages of 5 and 10 years,
standing 15 hands to 15 hands 2 inch
es in height, with short back, strong
quarters, plenty of .bone, true action,
capable ,of pulling a 'big weight off
rough or broken ground, and weigh
ing from 1,100 .to 1,200 lbs. The de
sired proportions of the two types are
60% cavalry and 40.% light draught.
A man should never be ashamed to
own he has been in the wrong, which
is but saying in other words, that he
is wiser today than he was yesterday.

FATALLY INJURED
AT LUCAN TRACKS
Motor Car Dragged by Train
. 200 Yards
William Morkin, a middle-aged far
mer of the 8th concession of Biddulph
was fatally injured Tuesday morning
When his car was struck by a C. N. R,
draip. at Lucan,
Mr, Morkin was widely khown/in
his township where he was a council?
Ibr now «>n his 8th term and was a
5,
the record was less than one-quarter
of the expected deaths, and between
the ages of 35 and 75 only one-half of
the expected. The lowest ratio was
recorded for accidents, which were
about 20% of the expected males and
for females considered together.
The second lowest ratio was for
tuberculosis with actual deaths less
than 30% of the expected. The Com
pany involved has made a particularly
strong drive against tuberculosis and
most meticulous chest examinations,
including x-ray explorations, are made
in every case. The resulting early di
agnosis made have materially improv
ed the prospects of cure. The third-
lowest ratio was recorded for diabetes
with one actual death when 2.8 would
have been expected. A similar ratio’
imately 4 per 1000. The average for was observed for chronic nephritis,
the past 10 years has been 4.3 per Altogether the experience has been
1000. (Canada’s rate for 1938 was 9.5 unusually good and well worth the
per 1000). The ratio of.actual expect- trial.
A certain group to whom periodic
examination is made available as a
matter of routine, have been found to
experience a mortality only about one-
half that of the general .population in
corresponding age classes. In 1914 a
’well-known insurance company decid
ed to institute periodic medical ex
aminations of all its employees. Treat
ment is given only in emergency. The
plan followed is to help form a cor
rect diagnosis and then to place the
information at.the disposal of the"fam
ily physician where occasion arises.
The employee receives a reminder
