Tomato Relish. --Chop one peek parcel ripe tomatoes; drain ; add Why Taffy "Pulls" White. Taffy made from sugar or mo- lasses becomes white by pulling. Do you know why? The exposure to the air and the friction evaporate the syrup, which contains most of the color- ing matter, and facilitates oxi- dization of the carbon in the sugar, which is always white, contains eleven atoms of oxygen to twelve atoms of carbon and eleven atoms of hydrogen. The syrup drained from the same sugar in the refining process not only contains more or less coloring matter,but has a smaller propor- tion of oxygen to the amount of carbon. Still another ..eason why sugar is whitened in pulling is that this operation, like the crushing pro- cess when applied to rook candy, one of the purest' forms of sugar, destroys or impairs "its power of absorbing light, and causes it to reflect all the elementary colors in each ray, which, of course, results in white light. The Diity of Spending One of the causes of the present industrial depression is the short- sighted economy of those whose spending power has net been seri- ously curtailed. The fact is easily established by the hank returns showing increases in desiosits.• Sincethousands of manufacturers', wholesalers' and retailers' employ- ees have: been thrown out of work, or have had their wages reduced, it is evident that their bank ac- counts must have either disappear- ed or decreased. Consequently the total savings .bankdeposits could only " increase by substantial ad- ditions to the accounts of those whose' incomes have escaped the general out. Such persons are put- ting their surpl'u'ses into the banks instead of spending them. : This means that they are going 'without clothes.; furniture, 'machinery, and man_, other articles in order to in - ease Grtheir savings. The effect becomes apparent in our imports entered for consump- tion as follows: year ending March 31st, .1913,. $670,000,000; year end - inn March' 31st, 1914, 618,000,000; year ending March 31st, 1915, $455,000,000. These decreases in our purchases abroad indicate that there must be ,correspondingly great; decreases in ourpurchases at home. It is, true -that our borrowings from England have been seriously •curtailed, but it is also true that they have been replaced to a certain extent by. sales of bonds in the. United •'States which, sines t'he outbreak `oaf war, have amounted'to. about $70,000,- 000:. The. people .of Canada, after three years of great extr:avagan,ce, have gone suddenly td the :.other extreme and have been frightened into a fit o rigid conpniy: The re- sult has been aeserious decrease in manufactured output.

The fat and ;sugar provide fuel to'keep the body warm and furnish it with . power needed to deo its work. The water and salt are necessary for life. Milk also contains antitoxins, useful oells and other substances that are of great importance, especialy to the infant. It musts be plain, then, that milk its inn enormously complex sub- stance—it is both food and drink. The infant thrives on milk alone, and the adult can live, for months - with nothing else. "Milk may be served in a num- ber of different ways, as custards, puddings, ances, crease, ice crew, lug: two lbs.. of +salt codfish, three lbs, of fresh codfish, two lbs. of chicken, four labs, of beets, five lbs. of turnips, one. -'sixth Ib. of butter, one-third lb. of wheat flour, one- third lb. of cheese, three: -quarter lb. of lean. round beef, eight eggs, two lbs. of potatoes, six lbs. of spi- naclh, seven lbs. of lettuce, four lbs. of cabbage. "Milk varies somewthat in com- position, especially in amount of butter fat (creaam) it contains. Cer. tain cows furnish richer milk than others, therefore, it is customary in good dairy practice to mix the milk of several cows imznnecliately after it is drawn. In this way the consumer is assured a more uni- form p'roduot from day* to day. "In the household,, milk should always be kept cold, .clean, and covered." Disposing of Eggs. • 1. Study carefully the rules for the production and marketing of new -laid eggs. 2. Remember that only the strict observance of these simple rules will bring the highest prices and improve the .> quality ..of . eggs gen-- erally.,. 3. Be careful to::searrrp tlhe eggs= on the large end only. • 4. In stamping do • not bear too heavily upon the ink pad when ink- ing the stamp' nor on the egg when stumping. 5. Never wet the ink pad, if it be- comes dry 'speak to the eoe1'ector and he will re -ink the pad for you. 6. If the stamp becomesdetached from the wooden handle, it earn be readily repaired with a good muci- lage. 7. Do not allow the children to stamp the eggs until you have taught thean to do so properly, by allowing them to practise on the eggs to be used at home.. 8. On wet mornings it is a good plan to throw down a little clean straw on the floor of the poultry house.- The number of 'dirty eggs' can be materially lessened if the hens scraatch in the straw before' going to the nests to lay. 9. Do not isiterme the very smell or the very dirty eggs. They may be packed separaately and marketed as -a second `grade through the egg circle. 10. Be a good oat -operator by al- ways being prepared anti ready for the collector when he calls. 11. Do everything in your power to support your egg circle. Re- member that you area vital unit in it and that it is necessary tot–each member to be loyal to associa— tion tics enable it to succeed. 12. Remember that thereputa- tion of your circle depends upon quality. 13. Strive to make your circle the best in time, Dominion. Remove Male Birds.' - Eggs which have been fertilized constitute the greatest proportion of the inferior stock which, when examined, proves unfit for food. It is not necessary that these shall have remained for a time under a broody hen, a temperature of seventy ' degrees being, in itself, sufficient to cause the germ . to commence to grow. If the cheat is constant the development of the chick will oontdnue, but if it ceases or is intermittent, putrefaction at once sets in and the egg becomes bad. On the other hand infertile eggs which are 'free from the active germ cell, do not, under ordinary conditions, deteriorate seriously: Few farmelzs lectern to realize these facts, : and consequently very few make any effort to insure in- fertility. The impression prevails among many, that the presence of the male bird in the flock is essen- tial to the production of a maxi- mum nurnhe:r of. eggs. This `assump- tion 'has: been proven, time' and time. again, 'to be absolutely without foundation. Farmers .and others .selling eggs for miarket are recommended to kill off or dispoise of the m,alie birds af- ter the breeding season. As a re salt of their remaining with the flock after June 1st,, Canadian `farmers lose each year at least a million dollars, through ' the pre- sence of partially inoubetedeggs in the produce which is marketed.. The fact that the best {tradie in many cities in Canada now efforts -the premium of from one to five cents per dozen, for non -~fertilized eggs, suggests an additional finan- cial consideration which but few can afford to overlook. Short sight is very rare in sav- ages The Intimate Friend. Possibly there are few families to wleonx the pleasure of an intimate friend is unknown, She may be a. middle-aged woman who, lacking the joy of a family of her own, takes a loving motherly interest in the boys and girls of an old school friend between herself and whom there is a strong affinity and affec- tion. She may be a young .girl, merry enough to be an entertataing friend to those of her own age and sufficiently sympathetic, homely, and conversational to make a kind and charming deputy daughter, when the occasion demands. Or she may be a. married woman, living near enough to these chief friends of hers to make it possible to speed a fair amount of time with them without neglecting her home or children. But whoever she may be, the in- timate friend, if she be of the right kind, is invariably a .source of hap. piness in the basely. If a, day is dull or lacking in event there is al- ways the knowledge or hope that she will run in. if only for a quarter of an hour to bring news and inter- est from. her home or the outside world, to sympathize and give ad- vice, to help decide some earlobe debated point, or to suggest ,a game fox the younger children wtho have exhausted mother's ideas, • Cate will never re-enter as garden if, from a. concealed place, they are treated to .a syringing of paraffin. zattoiditto YEAST AKS Ta AZ: 4XG it El If COMPANY Has beeneanada's. favorite yeast for more than forty years, " Enough. for 5c. to produce 50 large loaves of fine, MADE IN CANADA whQiesorae nOar- ishing home made bread, Do not experiment, there is nothing just as good. EW.GILLETT CO. LTD TORONTO, ON T. MONTREAL INFERIOR LIGHTNING RODS. Prof. W. H, Day, B.A., professor of physics in Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, writes to ware the farmers of Ontario against in- ferior lightning rods. One of the sante campmates that buncoed the farmers with iron -centred rods last year is reported to be selling the salve rod again this year. Watch out for them. There is no difficulty in spotting these rods. The outside covering is a thin slie'et of capper. Inside af'. the copper is a. strip of galvanized. steel or iron one-half inch wide and two galvanized steel or iron wires about No. 10. The copper sheath is twisted around the strip and wires, giving the rod a corrugated appearance. The steel or iron will rust out in from five to ten years, For photograph of what happened to as rod of this kind in less than eight years see Figure 34, Bulletin 220, which may be had by writing the Department of Agriculture, Toronto. Illinois firm, is circularizing the trade and others advocating the "Mast" lightning red system. They declare that twisted cables are positively dangerous, elaimixrg they act like "choke -coils," that tubes only should be used, that in- sulators must be used, etc, For' concentrated essence of error these' circulars surpass anything else I have sten. Beware of the man with the iron centred rod and the man who claims that twisted cables are dangerous.,, This Department will be glad to be informed regarding the operations of either.
