may have happened a thousand Limes ;
all events it happened anon. A manreooiv
ed for his chisel, one cow's tnilk, and as
it did not thrive as it ought to, he asked -a
veterinary surgeon, an intimate acquaint
anco, to visit the farm where his milk was
produced, not particularly to examine the
:cow, bat to see elm place and "haven. ride."
Naturally the than coked to see the cow that
led his child, and lo, the doctor said ahnost
imn'edleaely that there were symptoms of
tuberculosis. It proved to bo so, When
killed, the oow was fotmd to by in the ad.
vanced stage of the disease. Tho farmer
told the truth, probably, when he said that
be did not know that the cow was diseased.
A farmer had two cows in his herd sus-
pected of tuberculosis They were separated
from the herd and their milk was given to
two fat pigs which the farmer was raising
for kis own consumption, This went on
for some time till the cows were condemned
and killed. Not long after the pigs were
killed and found to be in such a dieoaeed
state from fending on the milk of the
tuberculous cows that they were buried;
they were unfit for food.
There is no doubt that great quantities
of milk from tnberonlous owe is sold in the
ena'kets, and soil innocently, the producers
having no knowledge of the presence of the
disease in their herds. Milk farmers are
very numerous ; they cluster often around
large cities, that is, within easy reach of
them. A large patt of the milk thus pro.
aluced is soul to the city and its identity
lost. Tho milk "peddler" often does not
own a cow and may have little knowledge
of cowe, still less of tnilk. He deals it out
to his customers, and in some instances fur-
nishes "one cow's" milk.
It is difficult in cities to get pure milk ;
there is water enough in pare milk --88 per
ma—without slaving any added from the
pump and when ie is found pure the ques-
tion is, is the cow that produced it free
from disease? If people generally knew
what was going on in Om " milk world," if
they know how great were the chances of
getting tuberculous milk, they would look
more closely into their milk supply. Ad I
said in the beginning, the customer who
wishes to be on the sato side, will follow, if
possible, his milk to its source; if it be not
possible, ie is time to change milkmen.
LI'enith, oven life itself, may depend upon
keeping a close watch on the milk supply.
The subject has been agitated so much—
not a bit too much—that some consumers
refuse to buy milk except of the man who
keeps cows and produces his own milk, or
eau tell exactly whore the milk Ito sells

the other picture : The day's work is over,
and the family has come together for the
evening. The mother says, " Children, I
have a new story to commence reading this
evening." And she opens that delightful
boys' story, " Little Men," by Louisa 101-
oott ; or better still, that unsurpassed
youth's book k of fiction and Y ( factE
" Hen's

Mapes Dodge. There 1 the children's rest-
lessness is over. The boys have stopped
their bickering. They are entering a new
world. And as the mother leaves chapter
alter chapter behind and gets deeper into
the heart of the story, how eayearly and at-
tentively every word is listened to by her
young audience. Not only sloes the mother
give her children the most enjoyable en-
tertainment by reading to them from such
books, but she lays before then for their
reflection examples of good and evil in child
life. It stimulates their intellect, and gives
them something to think about outside of

The American .Palmier recommended the

our suggestions, they are now fortunate.

Smut in Wheat.
Those who had anything to do with the
u'Leat crop of last year on Manitoba, will
have had oonside'ableexperience with smut.
Anything like the proportion of smutty
wheat was never experienced before hero.
It was impossible to handle ally quantity of
wheat without getting more or less smutty
stuff. Last year's Drop was a defective one
all around, and the prevalence of smut was
one of its worst oharaoteristios.
Profiting by the experience of last year,
most farmer's were wise enough to take the
precaution to treat their seed wheat with
bluestone as a prevented ve of smut. Quite a
number, however, seem to have been foolish
enough to omit this operation, and as a re-
shot, there is more or less smutty wheat
this year in some sections. There will of
course be nothing like the same proportion
of smutty wheat that there was last, but
there is sufficient to show that there has
been eonsi(lereble caroleseness, in spite of
the warnings of last year, in neglecting to
take the simple and inexpensive precautions
necessary to prevent smut.
Snliielent proof has been given to satisfy
the most dogged person that smut is pre-
ventable. Its presence now eau be sot
down solely as a result of neglect to take
the usual precaution to prevent it. Here,
however is an additional proof that smut
can bo effectually prevented.
A. Moore, of the Royal Dominion Mills,
Toronto, who recently made a trip of in.
apoction through 'Manitoba, said on his re-
turn. "I drove over some flue fields of
wheat, among them '2,300 acres on Sandi -
son's farm, Brandon, which is one half or
more in the stook, not a heavy crop, but a
very nice Duo. All was ripe and standing,
clear of weeds or stunt, excepting 100 acres,
which is very smutty. All his seed was
soaked in bluestone except that used in the
100 area of smutty wheat,"
This is another item added to thealready
thoroughly convincing proofs that smut is
easily preventable. In the faoe of these
facts, it is to be regretted thataome farmers
will bo so foolhardy as to negloot so simple
and inexpensive a remedy.—Ewinnipeg

Beginning With Early Broilers.
Although the market for early broilers
will not begin before the opening of the
new year, the chioks meat be hatched oat
in time to grow. It reeeiree throe weeks
to hatch the ohicka, and about ten weeks
more for them to roach a marketable size,
the whole period, from the beginning of the
hatch to the ported of selling, being about
three months.
To reach tho market in January the chick
should come out of the shells not later than
the first week in November. Ao the prices
gradually ineroaae after January, reaching
the highest limit in May, there is a wide
field open for early broilers. The first lots
that reach the market eoll best when they
weigh but litho over a pound each, but as
rho prices go up, the weights also inerense,
until shies of one and three quarters weight
are desired.

Has Toronto any millionaires?
The curious individual who drives through
the residential portions of the city would
imagine that millionaires were to be noted
in Toronto by the score. But a million bill
dollars is a pile of money, in fact, strewn
out, the number is almost beyond the con-
ception of the human mind. While many
Torootoniane may be regarded as wealthy
or well fixed with the world's goods, the
reputed millionaires in our midst may be
easily counted on one's fingers.

tvlho is perfume the wealthiest man not only
in this city, fait in the province. He is now
the controlling owner of the great dietilling
business of the Gooderham & Worts Com.
pany, Limited. Nob odly has the firm a
world-wide reputation, but in Toronto 18
situated their works, which are the largest
of the kind in the world, lir. Gooderham
is a man of immense business capacity.
During office hours he is one of the lousiest
mei in the city. A great deal of his
leisure time he spends at home. He is a
family man and a student of science. Often
when Toronto is favored with a first class
opera or a standard play he is to be seen in
the front seats of the theatre a000npanied
by itis family. He is also an enthusiastic
yachtsman and is owner of a couple of the
finest sailing yachts on fresh water. Mr.
Gooderham is always to the front in any
great scheme for the enjoyment of the
masses of this growing city, and several
years ago, when Prof. Torrington proposed
to hold a grand ,musical festival, he was
seconded by tho troll -known distiller, who
guaranteed to oovsr any loss that might be
sustained by the venture with his own
cheque. However, Mr. Torringttn's festi-
val with a grand success in every way.
Like many more of Toronto's respected
citizens, Mr. Gooderham has a charitable
heart, and what he does in the way of
charity is not heralded forth to the world.
He comm his wealth by millions and his
beautiful mansion on St. George street,
just above Bloor, is one of the objects of in-
terest to visitors while driving through our
residential districts.

Triose wounds almost all bear a subcutaneous
character, and, since the bullet, or parts of
it, seldom or never remain in the body, mag
be readily healed without the formation of

SMOKELESS AMMUNITION FOR INDIA.
After a long fight Lord Roberts, Com-
teander.is.Chief of the British forces) in
India, has succeeded in inducing the War
Office authorities to furnish his troops with
smokeless powder cartridges. Tho white
troops in India still carry tho Martini -
Henry rifle, and because the new "cordite "'
powder was specially designed for the new
magazine rifle, the War Ofllce 014 Bt wooli,
not listen to any suggestion of its employ-
ment in the lliartini•]ienry, although there
was not the least doubt of its great superi-
ority. It has been decided at last that a
trillion rounds of the cordite cartridges
shall be sent to India, and this instalment
will be followed soon by a full supply.
Lord Roberts thus carries his point, which
is important in view of the fact that a con-
siderable time mustelopse before thelndian
army con receive the new Lee 'letford
;magazine) rifle. It appears, indeed, that
a large proportion of the native regiments
are still armed with the old Strider rifle,
now regarded as obsolete. When the firs
batch of the new rifles reaches India they
will get the Martini -Henry, now in the
hands of tho white troops, but itis not ex-
pected that this exchange will be effected
before April.
A PROPOSED NEW n3ATTERY OF ARTILLERY'.
A movement is on foot to organize a field
battery of artillery in St. John's, with Capt.
Trotter as commandant, Dr. Tasse as sur-
geon, hlessrs. I. B. Fotvaye, W. Brosseou
and Walter Douglas es other officers. The
project has taken a definite shape. The
News says: "Some years ago St. John's
had a good battalion of infantry and a fine
troop of cavalry ; to -day it has not a volun•
teer in active servioo; although it is the
headquarters of an important district, and
is the possessor of a military school which
Montreal never ceases coveting."
LTECT,-400. MOOD'S 10ETIaEMENT.
Every rifleman in Canada who has over
gone to Ottawa for the D. 1't. A. matches
knows Lieut. -Col. Hood and the team of the
5th Royal Soots, for that officer and ifs
hard-t,o-beat team have made a favorable
impression everywhere they have appeared.
Anyone who hes been personally acquainted
with Liout.-Col, Hood will be sorryto hear
of his retirement from the commanof that
fine corps, but itis understood that rte gal-
lant colonel will not be missed from the rifle
ranges, for although he has resigned from
the corps he will not give up his shooting,
and will still hold his positions in the
D.R.A. and P,Q.R.A., so that shooting men
will still have him with them, something
that is exceedingly gratifying to hear, for
no man in Canada has done more for shoot-
ing than Liens.-Co1.Hood.
