Liberal Feeding Pays.
The fall freshening *owe are cam-
ing in and will eontinue to eeme in
for several montha up into the winter.
Geed liberal feeding methods, prace
teed hefore and continued after
freshening, will inerease the efficiency
of millproduetion of Ontaxio ewe.
What constitutes good feeding erne -
twee? Follow nature closely and we
will find the �w doing her best dur-
ing the autumn and winter if summer
conditions regarding feed are applied.
These eonditions are an abundance of
pa,latable, bulky, succelent feed made
up into a balanced ration,
hTat.ure herself points the way. ITL
the springtime acoess -to pasture
grasses allows the cow to have an
abundance of succulent, bulky, pala-
table feed, balanced to meet the needs
of the cow for maintenance and to
furnieh. nourishment fer her calf for
a time,
A manufacturing phut or any ma -
thine is most efacient and economical
when running near its full capacity.
The cow is a raahuf.acturine plant

In order to allow the vew to manufac-
ture milk a certain amount of the feed

this amount of feed used for mainten-
ance is about fifty to eixty per cent.
of the ration fed. But the mille pro-
duction occurs after the needs for
maintaining the cow have been sup-
plied. Hence it is short-sighted econ-
eray tet to feed additionally to the
of taped y prodnetion of the
sow. On too many farms is this a
vomnion raisteke made in feeding not
alone the tows, but all live stock. Be
a good liberal feeaer.
Many Ontario cows are fed a ra-

but which will not allow them to pro -

easy transferenee of bedbugs, lice and
other pests by the tontact of clothing;
and the dnot from dry eweeping. Eaell
of these insanitery conons and
practices suggests its own remedy.
Every child should go to seheol this

sanitary in every respect. His per-

fed half a ration and the milk ficar
is reduced to a minimum. What hap-
pens when fed as last mentioned?
Can the eow automatically etop giving
milk? No, she gives milk and will
continue to give milk for some Valle
at her own body expense, losing :in
flesh in order that the mother instinct
to nourish hex calf is saddled. How-
ever, she will gradually adjuet herself
and give the -milk corresponding to
the amount of feed. Heavy milking
cowe, seVerral weeks 'after freshening,
even when quite well fed, continue
to lose weight and flesh because of
this mother fenction.
On the other hand, what happens
Veer* the eow is overfed? The excess
feed is simply used for body fat.
Hence over -feeding or feeding a fall
ration is not harmful before calving
when nearly dry beeauee the •excess
feed is used to supply nourislamena for
the unborn offspring or to repair
musele and time and even to put on
extra body weight.
Feed a baloncecl full ratioa for the
greatest eanionly and efileiency. Too

Is Your Schoolhouse Clean?
The rnodern mother is beginning to
question the :gilt of the state to inane
her ehildren go to school in buildings
Where they are subject to unnecessary
risks of danger by fire, from insani-
tary suigoundings, and from the dan-
gera of contracting serious eammue-
ieable diseases. And the mother who
is unwilling to e:cpose her children to
such dangers should Ask about the
buildings in which they attend school
this *ill, making sure that -the fall
cleaning of the school buildings has
been attended to and that both build-
ings and surroundings are in a safe
and sanitary condition.
The school :board officials are res-
ponsible only to the people who have
elected them. So, after aijl, the res-
ponsibility for insanitary sehool build-
ing and lack of proper protection of
the health of school childreen rests
squarely on the parents.
In rural districts, the prbicipal dan-
gers to the health of school children
are to be looked for in the sebool well,
the cotillion drinking cup and towel,
the crowded and poorly ventilated
echoolroorn, badly fitting seats, crowd-
ed cloak -rooms, and open or insani-
tary toilets, In -villages and cities
having buildings more than one storey
high, there is additional danger
through fire.
If the school water -supply comes
from a well on the school premises, it
should have special attention before
opening day. A properly constructed
well has waterproof walls lined with
stone brick, or cement, and which
exten:d for net less than six i -riches
above the surlace of the ground. It
is fitted witb, a pump and has a
waterproof, top, so that waste waterr
runs away from the well instead of
back into it; and surface water, after
-rains, cannot carry pollution into the
source of the drinking supply. Where
a well is thus peoperly constructed,
all that is necessary is to pump it dry
and to allow the fresh water to celled
before etched opens.
If the well is of the aommen open
variety, several things may have hap-
pened clueing the sunnier vacation.
Rains may have washed dist, manure
and other surface. material into the
water. In hunting for water, turtles,
rabbi* mice, rats, snakes and other
living ereatuees have either jumped or
fallen into the well and have been
unable to get •out. To drink water
containing their (keening bodies is
not only extremely unpleasant, but it
may be very dangerous as well. An
open well ebould, therefore, be pump-
ed dry and thoroughly cleaned before
sehool opens. The -top sihould be made
entirely safe for little folks, and con-
structed so that teurnace and waste
vrater can not carry with it into the
drinking water the washings of many
dirty little feet.
With a safe and clean water -supple
assured, it is next necetseary to know
that the water is distributed in a
cleanly manner. Every mother knows
that if ene child at echo& develops
a cold, or a case of measles, whooping
-
cough, diphtheria, Or other commun-
icable disease, that it is likely to run
through the entire school. What the
mother may nce, know, is that these
communicable discasce are spread
eiainly by the socret.cns of the nose
ancl throatan that cne of the coin-
eacrieee source3 cf preading these in-
" fections is by the use of the connnon
water pail and tommon drinking -cup,
Sanitary water containers supplied
with an approved type of faucet, can
be obta,ined from almost any hardware
store. In the absence of this conven-
ience, the school water pail ehould be
supplied with a cover and a dipper
which is not used for drinking. Eaeh
child should be required to bring his
own sup and be taught never to use
one belonging to another. If, in ad-
dition to this, the teacher is instruct-
ed how to look for the suspiciously
reddened eyes, the discharges from
the nose and throat and other signs
of the first stage of a disease, and to
exclude children showing these symp-
toms Alain school until the disease or
the danger of inaeeting others is past,
it will be possible for the sebool to go
through the winter without an epi-
demic. Mothers must, however, co-
operate with the teachers in order to
make this possible.
Quite as da.ngerous as the unclean
water supply is the open or insanitary
toilet. There is almost nothing so
dangerous to human beings as to take
their own excreta in their food and
drinking water, It is most unpleas-
ant to think about, but typhoid fever
and dmagheal &seat:es are eontracted
in that way.
To be safe, a toilet needs to he fly -
proof. Flies breed and thrive in an
open privy. They fly into the school-
house, take a bath in the water pail
and wipe their feet on the •thildren's
lunch or on whatever feral may be ex-
posed to them. The result is, that
infections present in the .excreta can
be and are spread by flies.
Another danger from the insanitary
toilet is pollution of the water supply
by surface washing or through the
ground. The preeenee of toilet sew-
age in drinking water has been dis-
covered by throwing powered dyes in
the toilet, Seieral days afterward
these colors have been found in wens
miles away, showing conclusively that
the rains have washecl the toilet sew-
age into the ground from which the
wells drew their water -supply. In
crder to avoid this possibility, the
toilet must be constructed tin sueh
manner that the sewage will be ren-
dered harmless, and can be safely dis-
posed of in plowed ground. These
toilets are not expensive to build.
Foe temporary purposes, a barrel of
earth or lime should be placed in
every open toilet and each child
taught the necessity of throwing in a
shovelful eac.h time the toilet is used.
The open toilet ehould tale° be screened ote bonded up camefully so as to
prevent flies from breeding in it or
tarrying pollution from it Another
source of danger from the dirty Open
toilet is the moral conta,gion. It is
next to impossible to teach a child
cleardinese and decency in the school
-
ream and from books when he gets a
daily Weston in filth and indecency
from the eutbuildings.
Dangers to the health t of school
&lichen, in the scheeloomn itself, are
the possibilities of aceident by fire
due to leaky stoves and improperly
eons tructed furnaces or exits of bend-
ings; lack of proper ventilation caus-
ing a predisposition to disease and
favoring the speed of contagions;
ba,dly-fitting seats resulting in crool.-
ed spines and cramped lungs; crowded
The fall and early winter months
are the eeason. when many cattle are
lost without geed cause, because the
farmer does not -watch out in feeding;
a little thought and extra care will
save these valuable animals. Choke in
cattle is usually the result of the ani -
mars swallowing such onjecte as ap-
ples, turnips, beets, potatoes, and the
like; it in,ay be ceased from, eating
straw or ehaff. This condition is no-
ticed most often in the season when
animals are cesteured where these
fruits and vegetables may be reached,
and when the farmer is feeding the
surplee mine to etock to the unout
atate.
Choke in cattle doez not always
show the same symptoms; in fact, it
is rather difAcult to determine the ail-
ment in some tees. When the choked
aelinal drinks water it will return
through the mouth or nose if the
choke is complete, the Animal will
usually bloat, due to the, gas that is
eonstantly being formed in the welch
as it cannot pass upwarn through the
gullet as it normally does,. The breath-
ing may be faster than it ordinarily is.
If there is plenty of assistance at
hand it may be 4dvizable to have the
animals head held securely, and then
with the aid of a mouth gag, to hold
the animal's mouth open, the band
being passed over the base of the
tongue in an effort to grasp the ob-
jest and remove it. If the choke is
too deep for that, it inight be well to
use something to lubricate the gullet,
and for this the following may be used
with good results; Olive oil, giyeerine,
slippery elm tee. Any of these may
be given in small doses of hue to six
ounces. Of all these, slippery elm is
possibly the best lubricant of all. This
may make it extssible for the animal
to pass the object into the stomach.
If the object ef.ia be felt, a gentle
pressure may be exerted upward on
it. Under AO conditions ahould two
hard objects be cracked together with
the region of the choke between them,
with the intentien of crushing the
mass; neither shoukl a whipstalk be
passed down the entimans throat, as
many farmers do in such conditions,
If a veterinarian is to be had, he can
give the animal a dose of apomorphine
hydrochloride, which may remove the
choke. Do not give the animal large
quantities of a drench.
If the animal is in such condition
that it is not likely to be relieved, it
is best to have it slaughter -I rut once,
not only putting it out of its misery,
but also saving the *excess for meat
purposes.
Preservation of Fruit and
Vegetables.
Farmers' wives, and, in fact, house-
wives generally, would probably find
a deal of worth -while information in
Bulletin No. 93 of the Dominion Ex-
perimental Farms. It deals with the
Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables
for home use 'and gives the results,
with the recipes, of experiments in
calming, drying, pickling and preserv-
ing carried on by the Horticultural
Division of the Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa. Facts will be tound
there relative to sterilization ler the
peevention of spoilage and souring;
for die methods best followed in can-
ning and jelly making; for the pre-
servation of vegetables by fermenta-
tion and salting; for home drying, and
as to the relative value of different

Neatly groomed from head to tsil
Yet how little the avail!
Once he entered head on high,
Admiration of each eye,
Now he cones with drooping eere
At the klughter, jests and jeers,
As the dashing autos go
Through the gates of county show,
And alas! -what has he done
That he sieend be the butt of fut?
Fat and "comfy,” good to see,
As of yore, yet, somehow, he

Where the whirling autos come;
Like cat in strange garret three,
Poor old Dobbin at the fair.
Onee he held proud reputation
Of bed famly horse around,
And he felt in all the nation,
Not the equal could be found,
Of his pretty, gracious lady,
Who held the reins Just as she should,
Idy each neat manipulation
Showing gentlewoman's blood.
Now a hot tide through him eourses
To his brain, for wellbred hems
Feel the stigma and the shame,
When low -bred people make them

And he beam a "female" gay
In yonder auto coarsely say,
"See, oh see, that `one -hose shay'!"
Like a fossil Dobbin feels
When the boisterous laughter peale,
And he sees her pointing there
To his turnout at the fair.
Yes, indeed, like a hack number,
Poor heart -broken Dobbin feels,
And he knowe he ne2er can lumber
Past those flashing, dashirg wheel
Worst of all to see his lady,
Laughing -steak of latter day,
And he hopes he may not =Tiber
This old earth long, anyway.
But presto, change! New "env" and

Breaks in on hie doleful dream,
They are passing—famous judges—
Geetlemen of old regime.
They lift their hats high to his mis-
tress;
Pat his flanks as on they go,
Saying, "Yes, a -true fine lady,
Debts all paid and nothing shady
In her life, as all well know."
And so with bead high in the air,
Proudly Dobbin leaves the fair.

A consistent effort is being made in
some of the larger eentres across the
border—and the scheme is -well worth
adepting in our Canadian commun-
ities—to encounage pupils to under-
take the study of either a vocational
Or an avocatio-nal activity.
The old-fasetioned idea of after-
school rehearsals in feet disappearing,
and the more progressive idea of
recogekizing the orchestra rehearsal as
a regular classecom period is taking
hold. Credit is given to this study
exactily the same as it is given for
the so-called important subjects. Be-
cause of this fact a new hiterett has
arisen, and pupils are not only willing
but anxious to become members of
the orchestral class. In some districts
:the school Systems provide musical
instruments and instruction, but in
the great majority pupils still provide
their own, and parents pay for the
instruction, The ensemble instruction
is given by the regular High School
teachers, and each year there is a
strong tendency to select for this
work teachers who have hada special
training in instrumental work.
The question arises: How much of
a student's time should be given to
the school orchestra? In nearly every
community the orchestra performs not
only at schtchol functions, but also at
civic functions as well. In addition to
the annual conceits, echooltessetablies,
rehearsals, pageants., etc., the average
player gives many hours not required
of other studen,ts. Is it not unfair
when school authorities fail to receg-
nee this type cf zervice? It is a fact

pel. t it becomes for musicians

in their effoots to force a proper
recognition of this service.
The possibilities of the work under
proper supervision are unlimited.
There are some who predict that be-
fore another gerieratire has passed
instruction in Instrumental music will
be a regular past of the High Sehotol
curriculum. Elementary schools have
encouraged the oeganization ef after-
school violin and piano cleaves, with a
view to determining the child's na-
tural tendencies. After a short period
of study, if the pupil ehows talent, he
is encouraged to study privately. This
system cannot be operated as success-
fully in High School as it is in the
glementaa-y s.tchool, because more de-
mands are raa.de 021 the time of the
