The C.P,), Idea.
In any organization so large as
that of the C.P.R., where under nor-
mal conditions over 100,000 em-
ployes are on the payroll, one great
problem is that of keeping the em-
ployes, so to speak, dynamic, part of
a living organization • and not of a
mere machine. Zeal and ambition
must be kept burning.
One system introduced on the
Western lines with this in mind has
proved exceedingly efficient. Each
superintendent or foreman or head
of a department makes two reports
a year on his staff. Bright men•are
thus earmarked for special promo-
tion. If any man is criticized the re-
port is shown to him and initialled
by him before it goes to Winnipeg.
He gets a square deal, and if he has
an;,: life in him he mends his ways
so that n0 such criticism can be
made twice. Then again, there are
independent scouts, looking for the
bright men, the tidy station agent,
the courteous trainman, the man
cool in an emergency, the inventive
mechanic, the stenographer who can
run the office when the chief is ab-
sent. These scouts are searching for
merit only not for faults.
Over the whole system of the Can-
adian Pacific ideas and suggestions
made by employes are not only wel-
comed, but lead to promotion. They
go to the Record Office, whore a
statement of the employe's career is
attached to the suggestion before it
is considered by a committee.

Exeter is raising $300, Clinton $200.
Goderich should not be behind the

THE WING .IAM ADVANCE'
HOME CROWN BEEF
CALVES PROFITABLE
P
C AB
"I sated $7 ou every calf I raised
for the baby beef feed lot last year,"
sold L. D. White of Uulou county, Ia.,
to an Oraugo Judd Partner correspond.
ens. "Besides, they bad more quality,
more ability to lay on fat and more
feeding eapaeity than any I could
buy."
The cheapest Calvet Mr. White could
buy which would do for the feed lot
cost biro 827.50 per head, while an-
other bunch cost $29, and be consider,
ed himself quite fortunate in securing
them even at this price, because of
the scarcity of desirable youegsters
Nutted to the feed lot for baby beef.
As calves of this type will sell at a
premium because of adaptability to
the feed lot, Mr. White has Owned
that he made a dived, saving of $7 on
every calf that ho raised for the baby
beef feed lot.
There are also many other things to
be considered besides the direct money
value which would more than double
the direct profit. First, by a system of
careful feeding and management ear.
Tier maturing calves were produced.
Tile calves showed more quality, higher
condition when placed in the feed lot,
more capacity and more uniformity as
to size and weight. If there is any
tiling which will aid in selling a hunch
of mat•ketable baby beeves it is their
uniformity of size rile color, together
with a low, massive body of high con-
dition and good quality. The feeder

tle Is noted for prepotency -that is,

retvc•s when mater] with other
breeds or grades. This is due to
the feet tent they have been bred
pure for se Tong a time. In buying
a bull to grape up common cattle
the matter of prepotency is one of
the most essential points to be con-
sidered, for the more prepotent the
bulls used the more rapidly will the
grade herd take on the merits of
the purr bred A good Hereford
buil will give fully 95 per cent of
his progeny the white face and
red body color of the breed and at
the same time stamp them with the.
beefy type and endow them with
Ole feeding qualities of the breed.
In the matter of prepotency the
Hereford cannot be beaten. The it -
lustre Don shows a Hereford steer.
may be able to get early maturing
calves minus fat, but it is n problem to
buy (mires here and there and be able
to keep the bench uniform.
Another point which should not be
overlooked in raising the calves is the
ready market that the cow furnishes
for the cheap feeds of the average
farm and for which site returns a large
amount of manure to the soil. Mr.
1Chite 811018 up the matter thus: "Raise
your own calves. It wilt save you
money directly. it will give you a
uniform bunch of baby beeves both as
to feeders and as to finished animals
when fenced upon the market. You
will have created a market tit home for
the Olean feeds and will have come
nearer the ideal of soil fertility by re-
turning the manure to the land."
Deserves His V. C. Now.
If any soldier in this l3ritish army
deserves his Victoria Cross that man
will be James Todd, when James is

Todd is not wearing the colors

SPRING MILLINERY MODES.
The Predominating Hat Is Tiny, With.
a Hint of Larger shapes.
Styles int women's millinery have
never been smarter not or a more tit'
tractive type, The predominating lint
is entail, almost trimmed
fiat, yet we have It front good an.
tliorlty that the tendency is toward
overt smaller ones. Tim e Is some hint
regarding larger shapes on the poke
or picturesque order for midstttuuier.
1'tt'tietllariy well irked are the smell
bonnet ctx'ects on the military order.
Sailors, turbans and tricorns are lead-
ing shapes. Nigh rostered str'8Wi( nu0.
rough effects are seen, mean being
very Prominent„ Flort•eis, fruits and
ribbons are used for trimmings.
Turbans suggestive of the military
and .called Tipperary or .Belgian are
extremely popular. '%'hese turbans are
small and soft and worn on the side of
the bead, 'drawing- the well dressed
hair. The crowns of some are indented,
simulating Harry Lauder's Scotcil cap.
To accentuate this idea many have rib-
bon bands about the brim, euding in
the back with a bow and streamers of
various lengths, nine inches being the
maximum length, while souse have ends
which scarcely cover the edge of the
back brim. Others are wired, the loops
and ends standing away from the brim.
The brims of turbans many times are
higher in the front and sides than in
the back. This is usually the ease
when streamers are used. Some of the
turbans are made with soft, putted
crowns with no Indentation.
Sailors are both elongated and round.
All hats should be worn well over cm
the right side and up on tbe head,
showing the hair on the right side and
back of the head.
Frequently the upper portion of a
bat is of silk or satin in one of the new
light shades, such its putty, sand or
Cray, and the underbrira of a darker
olor, such as tete de negre, green or
blue.
Malines is much used on hats. It is
used either in the making of the entire
.hat or just for the narrow brim. Sailor
shapes are especially attractive with
narrow brims, either of shirred or plain
malines, with the edges bound with
satin, The crowns are usually of mi -
Ian or hemp. Lacquered powers ou the
order of flat asters are nrranged be-
tween tbe layers of mttiltles. Sailor
hats of kid in shades of putty or tau
are faced on the underbriin with braid
of color.
Ribbons and flowers are used in pro-
fusion in trimming. They are placed
around the upper edge of the brim
about an inch from the top in a wreath
effect or are laid stiff and flat against
the brim. Grosgrain and velvet rib-
bons are used in the malting of smart
little bows or for the banding of the
brans of turbans, with streamers in
the back. Little cockades of ribbon
are used In the trimming of tailored
modes, Small bows are used in com-
bination with flowers. Small flowers
in attractive colorings are used in com-
bination and give a dainty touch to the
light sand and putty shades or to the
dark shades. Kid flowers made flat
are appliqued to quills, presenting a
novel effect. Lacquered flowers, with
their shiny surfaces, are in attractive
colors, and rubberized flowers are nov-
el.
ovel. 'Thistles combined with thorn apples,
baby wheat in many colors and tiny
apples and berries are all shown. '
Keeping Hair Fluffy.
With the aid of wavers and other
similar simple contrivances some girls
are able to impart to their hair a
charmingly fluffy appearance - until
they go out in the damp or the wind;
then the fluffiness disappears as though
by magic, and the hair hangs in dank
wisps over their brows.
Ilere Is a remedy. l3efore putting in
the wavers clamp the 'ennuis of hair
to be waved with a little slightly di-
luted eau (11' c'olog'ne. This will serve
to keep the wave in for quite 11 long
time. You must dilute the eau de co•
rogue with water, though; otherwise
the hair will frizz too stiffly. Just to

There will assuredly not be a dissent-
ing voice to this doctrine as a general
principle and the Bulletin, which is he-
ing gratuitously distributed and Can
be had on application to the Publica-
tions Branch, Department oP Agricul-
ture, Ottawa, tells in detail how this,
desirable state of affairs can be brought
about. Cases are given where success-
ful 117011 het already 'been made, but
the date regarding the matter, it would
seem, is not quite as av,eilable as could
be wiehed, What is definitely known
is that quantities of seed tire brought
in from abroad, much of which it is
believed could, with the requisite care,
he produced in Canada and of a char
actor tqually as good and high.
General principles for successful
seed -growing, of selection, etc., are
laid down in tbe Bulletin, which also
details methods that could profitably
be adopted for planting, threshing and
Weaning of many specie! afield roots,
A list that is given of the beat variet-
ies of vegetables for stock seed is of
good practical value, Farmers and
gardeners are also reminded that as an
inducement to the growing of field
roots and garden seeds in Canada, the
Dominion Government is willing to
aid seed -growers by cash subventions,
particulars of which can be obtained
from the Seed Branch, Depai talent of
Agriculture, Ottawa. It should be
added that as the purpose is to en-
courage the growing of selected seed,
only bona:lido growers of such seed
are eligible to receive the subventions.
and the second Is devoted to tt stun.
mat y and to advice that if followed
cannot help but benefit the farm and
rtotit the follower. here are a few
s, ntences given in sententious forte
that illustrate the conclusions arrived
at, and the counsel given by Ur,
Shutt;
Rational taming ie "rnixed" farm-
ing.
Barnyard manure is the most effect-
ive of all fertilizers,
The liquid portion of the Manure fa
the trim valuable,
Use sufficient litter in the stables to
absorb the liquid,
The amount of manure on a farm be-
ing: insufficient, frequent light dress-
ings are advisable instead of larger
ones at longer intervals,
The manure is roost advantageously
applied for the root or corn prop in the
rotation.
It is not wise to "bury" the manure,
a shallow ploughing under is mote ad-
visable, e
Manure is worth most when first
voided.
Rational, farming involves a rotation
of crops.
Investigation has proven the high
manurial value of clover, alfalfa and
other legumes.
The lesson is ; grow a leguminous
crop in the rotation, as all other ernps,
save the legumes, leave the soil poor-
er for their growth.
Commercial fertilizers cannot be de -
41
waded utron profitably to (uaintnin
the soli; hence their kxaluIive use is
discountenanced.
By home mnixiog fertilizers a saving
of 25 to 35 per cent. can be effected.
Such in brief are a few of the cote
clusions arrived at by Dr. ,Shutt, but
to get real benefit from the Circular
applications should be made for it to
the Publications Branch, Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa.
