Sup- per will he observed in Carmel Pres vice will be held on the Friday even- ing when it is expected that the Rev. Mr, Foote, of Exeter, will preach. Sergt. Thomas Sherrit a Hensall boy who enlisted with thel6tst Heron Batt. was given a fine reception at the station the other evening, being met by the citizens' band and a very large gather- ing from both the village and the rural districts. He received a hearty wel- come from the reeve on behalf of the citizens; while Rev. Mr. McConnell of Carmel Church made a nice address. ' Mr. James Carlin who has been quite seriously ill, is recoveringly nice- ly, and also' a number of others who were not very seriously ill with the "flu," able to go around again as usual including our veteran townman, Mr. Robert Carlile, who some weeks ago sustained .a hard fall on one of his sidewalks which was in an icy condi- tion, and who is now going around again with his accustomed energetic step for one so far advanced in years. The annual meeting of Carmel Pres- byterian Sabbath School was held on Wednesday evening of last week fol- lowed by the annual meeting of the congregation. The attendance was large and all the reports showed fine progress made during the past year, The givings in the Sabbath school near. ly doubled those of the former year, while the attendance was much larger, The congregational reports were also most gratifying, the mission and other charitable givings being very large. The attendance also of the congregat- lion, as well as the membership, has been largely increased. The congrega- tion is considering the erection of a fine large cement shed, and a com- mittee was appointed to look into the matter and make plans for the shed, which is likely to be erected next year. The congregation during this winter is looking to getting material on the ground. All the officers of the past year were re-elected, both in the Sab- bath school and the congregation, and plans were also made for laying a fine stretch of new cement walk from King street to Queen street, running past the sheds. A number of the friends of Mrs. A. McPherson and daughter Miss Ella, met at the home of Mrs. Harry Arnold and presented each with a nice purse of money, the same being contributed by the Sunday School and Mission Band as a token of their appreciation of the services of Mise Ella who had been a teacher and leader in each, and from the business men as a tangible ex- pression of their esteem as the widow and daughter of the late Mr. Alexand- er McPherson, who had carried on business here for a long term of years. The address was read by Miss Mattie Ellis and the presentation of the purses were made by Miss Hanah Craig and Miss Kate Scott; and on Wednesday afternoon the ladies of the Patriotic League, met in the Town Hall and pre- sented each with very handsome new Hymnals with ee address expressing the deep regret that the Society felt in their parting with Mrs. McPherson and daugher, who had taken such a live interest in the patriotic 'Society, and who had given out the yarn since the war began for all those willing to knit for the soldiers, and also receiv- ed in all finished work, and their sin- cere wishes for a long and happy life, in their new home in Stratford, where they are moving, after so long a resi- dence in Hensall. Light refreshments were served and a few very pleasant hours were spent in mutual inter- ccurse. In replying to the addresses and presentation given to Mrs. A. Mc- Pherson and' daughter, Miss Ella, the latter spoke very feelingly alluding to their long and pleasant life in Hensall, the deep appreciation that both her mother and herself felt for the kind- ness shown them and the pleasure it would always afford them to have their Hensall and rural friends visit them in their new home in Stratford. Winter Care of Pregnant ite arcs. Those who have had experience in horse breeding have noticed that a considerable percentage of the spring colts, especially those born before the mares are on pasture, are weakly, often not able to stand, and some- times without sufficient ambition to nurse when held up and the teat• in- troduced into the mouth. It will also be observed that foals of this de- scription are usually those of dams that have been pampered during the winter months -those that bare been well fed, and kept in the stable most of the time without exercise. The pregnant mare should be well fed and given regular exercise or light work. The idea that she should not be well fed is not uncommon. The foetus is daily increasing in size. This growth does not take - place without nutriment. The nutriment must be supplied by. the blood ' f the darn, and, as nutriment is not a nor- mal product of the blood, but is sup- plied by the food the animal eats, we can readily see that the pregnant animal has not only her own tissues to nourish, but also those of a grow- ing foetus, which, in the latter months of gestation is no small mat- ter. Hence we see that the pregnant mare requires more food than her non -pregnant sister of the same size that is doing the same work. Good hay and- oats are the foods to be relied upon to provide nourishment, and these should be fed in quantities proportionate to the size of the ani- mal and the grain in proportion to the amount of work or exercise given. In addition she should be, given a few raw roots daily, and a feed of bran with a cupful Of linseed meal at least twice weekly. She should al- so be given all the good water she will drink at least three times daily, A pregnant mare should, where possible, be provided with a large, Comfortable box stall when in the stable. This, we may say, is neces- sary after the ninth month of gesta- tion, as parturition may take place at any tithe after this. ---J. 11. It„ V. A, Celiege, Guelph. w Childre: WINTER DAIRY HINTS Cleanliness and Succulent and Concentrated Feed Essential. Grass Is the Natural Feed of Cattle -Make Winter Feed as Much Like It as Possible --A Ration for Laying Hens Which Has Brought Results at the O. A. College. (Contributed by Ontario Department or Agriculture, Toronto.) HE whole question of winter care of dairy cattle may be summed up in one word - comfort. In order to obtain this, the cattle require a comfortable, clean, well -ventilated, well-'ighted stable. The stalls, where animals are tied, should be of proper width and length to accommodate them without discomfort; and also be so con- structed as to keep them clean with- out too much Iabor on the part of the person in charge. Plenty of bed- ding is needed, and an absoreent such as cut straw, shavings or saw- dust, to take up the liquids which cause so much dirt and discomfort to both animals and attendants. A cement gutter behind the "aniniali. having the required amount of ab- sorbing material placed in it hilly, after cleaning the stable, is the best plan of keeping stable and cattle clean. If there be some shavings, sawdust or fine straw scattered along the passage behind the cows. it as- sists in cleanliness and lessens labor. Feeding. The natural feed of cows is grass. The feeder of cows never goes far astray if the winter ration is made, so far as possible, similar to that of grass. This is got by using silage and roots, mixed with the dry, bulky fodders, like straw and clover hay. The mixing may be done by the feed- er, it he has time to do so; or, it may be done by the cow before and after eating. The cow carries a won- derful mixing apparatus in her stom- ach, and so far as this part of feed- ing is concerned, she can do the necessary work of mixing feeds. Mix- ing before feed is given to the cow, often -adds to its palatability and hence usually pays. In addition to the succulent and dry bulky feeds mentioned, a cow giving milk requires a certain amount of concentrated feed in the form of meals, such a ground oats, oats and barley, wheat bran, oil -cake, or cottonseed meal. Standard Dairy Feed fills the bill excellently in this regard. Watering Cows. Next in importance to feed, comes water for milking cows. When cows are producing large quantities of milk they must have large quanti- ties of water. This may be supplied in the stable, or in a trough outside. In fine weather, animals are better for being a short time outside in the fresh air daily, and they can be con- veniently watered at that time. In very cold or stormy weather, they should be watered inside. Comfort, cleanliness, succulent feed, along with a reasonable amount of concentrates, and plenty of water and fresh, pure air, are the main things required by animals giving milk in winter. -Prof. H. H. Dean, O. A. College, Guelph. Feeding Laying Hens In Winter. In order to lay well a hen requires a surplus of food above body main- tenance. That is a hen must be in good flesh, not thin. A good laying hen is seldom very fat. The yolk of an egg contains considerable fat. The white is mostly muscle forming food and the shell largely lime. There must be a. supply of these over and above what is required to daily main- tain the body. in summer a hen eats tender grass or green shoots, some whole grain, generally some ground grains, usual- ly worms or insects, picks up some gravel or old plaster, and in doing so takes exercise. If she has to hunt all day for these, at times she does not lay very well because she is working hard getting something to eat. We are feeding now, at the O. A. College a grain mixture of about the following: Seven parts of cracked corn, two parts of barley, two parts of good oats, one part buckwheat, and three parts of feed wheat. This is fed in deep litter night and morn- ing, the hens going to bed with a full crop. During cold weather it is advisable to feed a mixture of nearly half corn or buckwheat. A hen will do a little better on such feed. A mixture of two or three kinds of grain gives variety. At noon, cooked waste house scraps, such as potatoes, cabbage or other' vegetable trimming, together with the table scraps; make a good foundation for a wet mash. These scraps are best fed in a crumbly state. Dry them off with whatever chop you may have. A mixture of shorts, barley meal, and oat chop in equal parts, is very good. We use a dry mash which is fed in hoppers. This is in front of 'the birds at all times. We are using Government Standard Hog feed. We have used in previous years, very successfully, rolled or cr'iished oats. These ground grains should con- tain fifteen to twenty per cent. of high grade tankage or beef scrap. Where milk is given as drink no meat scrap would be necessary. Be sure to supply green and suc- culent feeds, such as waste cabbage, roots, clover leaves, or sprouted oats. There is an art to feeding. When feeding the whole grain night and morning watch the birds scratch. If they are very active feed liberally; if somewhat indifferent ease off In the amount for a feed or so, Keep the litter deari and sweet. --,Prof BURNED THE RED FLAG. Bolshheviki Are Unpopular With Winnipeg •Soldiers. WINNIPEG, Jan. 27. -The un- usual spectacle was presented Sun- day afternoon on Smith street, just off Portage avenue, of furniture coin- ing out through the double glass Windows of the second story of an office building. Following this came bundles of literature, presumably Bolshevik propaganda, and finally a number of soldiers descended bearing a red flag they had captured, which was set fire to amid the plaudits of the crowd. The proceedings, which had been carried on with the utmost good humor, terminated with the arrival of a military picket. No ar- rests were made. The cause of the disturbance was the placarding of billboards with posters by Winnipeg Social Demo- crats, many of whom openly profess Bolshevik doctrines, inviting fellow - workers to come in their thouasnds to a demonstration at the Majestic Theatre to protest against limitation of free speech. Fearing a riot the proprietors locked the doors, and adjournment was taken to the Market Square, where some hundreds, mainly the curious, gathered. But the soldiers in uniform would have nothing of it and broke up the meeting, some of the agitators receiving black eyes and a pummeling. All but one of those who attempted to speak were foreigners, the exception claiming he had been hired to speak in Eng- lish. After the meeting had been die- persed some soldiers proceeded to the hall at 328 Smith street, reported to be headquarters of the Social Democrats, where a large number of copies of the prohibited sheet, The Red Flag, were burned and the fit- tings were destroyed as stated above. Bolshevik hunting was also favor- ed as a pastime in the northern end, where, after returned soldiers and men in uniform had broken up a meeting, those present were hunted up and down Selkirk and Euclid avenues and pummeled until they kissed the Union Jack, when they were released. Some more obstinate thats,others are reported to have been rather severely punished. k BITTER PROPHETESS. Last Words Written by Rosa Luxem- burg. BERNE, Jan. 27. -The Berner I Tagwagt quotes the last article of Rosa Luxemburg, which was publish- ed in the Rote Fahne the day before her death. After comparing ironical- ly the delight of the Bourgeoisie at the Government triumphs over the Spartacans, with the alleged victor- ies of German troops in the field, she points out that the revolution has. no . time to lose. She admits there was no possibility of upsetting the Ebert- Scheidemann combination, the revo- • lution at this moment having no chance, owing to the unripeness of the masses of soldiers, which in itself was a symptom of general unripe- ' ness. The rising, however, she says, is a spontaneous reaction of the people against provocation. The revolution I is only a form of war, wherein final victory can only be prepared by a series of the defeats such as befell Lyons silk weavers in the 1831 Paris uprising and the 1838 commune. There defeats led step by step to the final victory. The opposite is the ease with political warfare, where the series of parliamentary victories during the last forty years led to crushing political and moral defeat and the bankruptcy of August 4, . 1914. But revolutionary victory, the article goes on, depends on the en- ergy which survives each defeat. The defeat of the Spartacans in the previous week was due partly to the insufficient ripeness of the situa- I tion, partly to the weakness and half- heartedness of the leaders, but al- though the leaders failed, the masses, , who are the rock on which final vic- tory will be built, will find new lead- I ers. Rosa Luxemburg concluded as i follows: "Order reigns in Berlin! You , stupid hangmen. Your order is built on sand. The revolution will declare itself to -morrow, rising and rattling its chains, and to your terror, which the trumpet call, 'I was, I am, I shall be'." Spartacan Vote Small. BENEVA, Jan. 27. -Full returns from the German elections show the Majority Socialists polled 11,112,450 votes, or 39.3 per cent. of the total number cast. The Christian People's party, formerly the Centrists, cast 5,338,804, or 18.8 per cent. of the total. The German National party cast 2,739,196, or 9.62 per cent. The Democrats polled 5,652,930 votes, or 19.5 per cent. The Independent Socialist strength was shown by the fact that the party's vote was but 7.68 per cent, of the total for the country, or 2,188,305. The German People's par- ty cast the smallest vote of any of the larger organizations, its total numbering 1,106,408, or 3.8 per cent. The remainder of the votes was cast by smaller party organizations. Lives In Comfort, THE HAGUE, Jan. 27. -The Tele- graaf's Wieringen correspondent writes that the former German Crown Prince moves freely about the island and takes a good deal of exer- cise. He wears fisherman's clothes to protect himself from the wind and weather. On Sunday he attended a rehearsal of a harmonic choir. One of the members was celebrating 12 % years of married life, and the prince congratulated the couple and pre- sented the bridegroom with a geld scarf pin. ..4.. Coming to America.
