A new field of work has now open-
ed for the Red Cross, a, work that
will commend itself to every Cana-
dian and especially those whose
brothers, sons and husbands have
crossed the water to fight in the
great Armageddon. It will be a
relief to many to hear that some-
thing is now being done to trace
those who have been lost in the
war:
By this new arrangement with
the British Red Cross Society the
relatives of men in the Canadian
contingents will be kept in constant
knowledge of the progress that
their wounded relatives, or friends
are making and will also, where
humanly possible, be told the
whereabouts of those who are offi-
cially reported as "missing." This
wild surely take a great load off the
minds of those relatives and friends
of our brave Canadian soldiers and
will enable them to correspond
with them. regularly.
This new branch of the Red Cross
work will thus be the means of
shortening the gretat pelf that sepa-
rates :the ,soldier on active service
from his loved ones at home and
well bring eonifort and joy into
many a home in Canada.
Life Latent in the Dust.
The potentialities. of life that lie
in a few .ounces •of soil, as illus-
trated by a writer in Answers, may
prove a matter of interest to --gar-
deners and other botanicail experts.
"One year, in, the month of Febru-

Ceremonial Drills to Come.
They call it Kitcheners Artny, but
what I have seen is something far
greater than an array. It is a
Dernoeraey in army. Here is the
village blacksmith and the village
parson, the squire's son, and the
young farmer, the ruiner, and the
mechanic, the factory hand, and
the city clerk, the artisan and the
college graduate, the business man
and the doctor, the lawyer and the
tradesman. This. Tuan was a stuck -
broker, this other waitedat table,
or measured tape, or washed dish-
es. They have come, of their own
free will, from cottage and castle
to offer their lives to their coun-
try, for they know that England's
cause is just, writes Henry Noble
Hall, an American journaist.
These are the men who are going
to crush militarism, and when the
task is accomplished those who are
left will lay aside their khaki and
their guns and go book just as
quietly as they eame. "Yes," you
will say, "but what kind of soldiers
do they melee" The answer is ---
and I am understating the truth—
they are equal to the finest regular
troops that England has ever put in
the field at any period of her his-
tory. That is not the snap judg-
ment of a newspaper man; it is the
deliberate opinion of professional
soldiers, of white-haired generals
who have fought in er'seen every
war in the last half oentury.
Will Ask No Quarter.
And you do not have to be in
Aldershot long to realize that Kit-
ohener's army is as clean -lipped as
it is clean -limbed. That these men
case be turned loose on to Germany
without fear of doing anything that
will tarnish their country's name.
They will outrage no women, and
plunder no property, nor will they
set houses on fire except as military
necessity dictates. But God pity
the men who have to face them with.
arms in their heads. For these are
not_men to ask quarter, and . I do
no think that they will give it.
The --more I sats of Kitchener's
army the stronger my impression
grew that this is something far
greater tlhan any army. I have
seen but' a tiny portion of it, and
astonishment has given way to ad-
miratien, 'admiration to;;pride, and
pride to awe. Truly this is a De-
mocracy in anon. Men who have
the same love of liberty ..and the
same respect for law as millions of
other men in the • United States.
They have laid aside each one his
work for a brief space, and have
taken .arms to defend the weak
against the strong, to drive the
invader from wasted Belgium, to
crush Prussian militarism.
Real Fighters.
That is one thing about Kitchen-
er's army. It is being taught eseen-
tals. It is being taught to ride
and shoot and to skirmish and to.
dig trench's and to crawl a ad to

Ceremonial, drills" will come later,
but for the present the men are be-
ing taugfht
e-ing'taugiht to fight, and it is as-'
tounding how quickly they have
learned the modern game. This is
where England's love of sports has
stood her in good stead; this is
where the training that she has

these men have played games, and
ntary they are learning to play the
greatest of all games. But they
are doing it as sportsrelen. It is
sport sobered by duty, and into it
they are putting their whole hearts
and every ounce of ability and
strength they possess.
Presently we shall see these men'
passing dawn the road on their way
back to the field kitchens. There
is the glow of health ontheir e1ieeks
and the lighted pride in their eyes.
They have done a good morning's

Guard regiments at home. But
here ecincs a, company far better
than the rest. The captain, a
splendid fellow, high seated on a
fine charger, flushes with pride as
the staff officer .at my side hails him
by name. He has not the easy fox-
hunting seat of sone of the officers
who have just ridden by, but his
every movement is the aeme of
military perfection. As he rides
past my guide turns to me and says,
"He used to be in ray old regiment,

Since I have been in England I

Not Quite Certain.
A certain business man is of
opinion that he has an exceedingly
bright office boy, and nothing
pleases him better than to tell how
he acquired the youngster's • ser-
vices. 'A notice had been pasted in.
the man's shop window, which read
as follows :—"Boy wanted, about
fourteen years." A. lad of that
age, with little that was preposses-
sing in his z]'•pearance, eame into
the office, and stated that he had
read the notice. "So you think you
would like to have the position V'
asked the merchant. "Yes, sir,"
wasthe reply; "I want the jab, but
I don't know that I can promise to
keep it for the full fourteen years."

"Who goes there?'' the: sentry
challenged.
"Lord- Roberts," answered the
tipsy recruit.
Again the sentry put the ques-
tion and received a like answer,
whereupon he knocked the offender
down. When the latter came to,
the sergeant was bending over. him.
"See here!" said • the sergeant,
"why didn't you answer right when
the sentry challenged you?"
"Holy St. Patrick!". replied the
recruit; ``if he'd do that to Lord
Roberts,' what "w>oulel he do to plain

Cows on Safe Ground.
With a fraction of uncertainte on
one or two points. such possibly o
high prices for feed, scarcity of
help, the dairy farmer, neverthe-
less, the whole Dominion over, is
actually engaged now in planning
for a mare abundant milk harvest
than ever from his faithful, patient
cows. The prudent, far-sighted
man has cogitated nearly all
points, such as seed selection,
labor-saving implements, better
stables, more ,alfalfa, a new silo,
abundant water and the best cul-
tivation he can possibly give to the
land owned or rented.
On many dairy farms, however,
one more point needs immediate at-
tention before the herd owner can
truthfully be said to be on really
safe ground. For, if the abundant
crop or the expensive feed pur-
chased is given to a cow, or eows,
whose dairy ability is lacking, sad-
ly lacking, some one is bound to re-
ceive an unpleasant surprise and.
disillusionment. If dairy ability
means ability of the cow to turn
feed into good milk at low cast,
is it not the step of wisdom to make
sure that each cow on the premises
does possess that ability ?
Where no .no cow testing has. been •
practised a moderate estimate. is
that three out of twenty caws con-
sume feed valued as high as the
price received for the milk they
yield. Dairy records aim at de-
tecting these o bovine crooks; but
further, a study of records, kept`so.
easily, show the dairyman which
cows produce the most milk and
fat, and which produce them the
cheapest, (for instance 63 or 95
'cents. per 100 pounds of milk), so
any man keeping dairy saeords is
speedily on the heme stretch to-
wards the winning post. inscribled-•
"each oow payse a good profit."
That is safe ground.,
