It was all the fault of Jemima
Jane's mother! There couldn't
he a doubt of it. Jemima
Jane certainly behaved badly, but her
mother was the primary cause of all
the discomfort. What could have
made the wretched woman elect to get
ill an the very morning of MI Wynd-
ham's clerical party, except a vicious
design to create confusion all round ?
She sent word very early to the par-
sonage, before any of the demo: tics
were awake, to say she had a "stitch,"
whatever that might mean, and Jem-
ima Jane instantly declared a "stitch"
was nearly always fatal (she, at all
events, seemed to know •everything
about it), and that :-he should go to
her mother forthwith.
Mrs. Wyndham reasoned, argued,
grew angry, all to no avail, ---told Jem-
ima, what she already knew full well,
that there were eight clergymen curr-
ing to dinner, eight hungry clergy-
men, and asked her pathetically who
was to attend table with the boy, who
was quite unsafe alone, being given
to the breaking of glass and constant
dropping of choice viands. Jemima
Jane said she couldn't help it; her
mother was evidently at the last gasp,
and if it cost her a thousand places go
to her she would, At this, Mrs.
Wyndham, abandoning hope, sat down
and wept.
All this happened at ten o'clock in
the morning, a week afterGwendoldne's
arrival. At eleven, Mrs. Wyndham
being in sore need of comfort, and lit-
erally at her wite' ends, rises and seeks
her friend's chamber, prepared to pour
her sorrows into her sympathetic
breast.
"Can anything be more humiliating,
my dear?" she says, tears again rising
to her pretty brown eyes, as she fin-
ishes her recital. "I don't think I
should mind so very much, but that
Mr. Layton is coming, and John was
at his house last week" ("John" is Mr.
Wyndham), "and everything there was
so nicely managed, and the attendance
perfect. I assure you, my dear
Gwendoline, I feel absolutely faint
when I picture to myself that boy in
the parlor, unsupported."
"Tt is really terrible," says Gwen-
doline, who looking as concerned as
any one could desire. She is looking'
thoughtful, too, as though she was
hatching a conspiracy, and has let all
her forehead run into little puckers.
"Tell me, Georgie," site says presently,
"do you appear?"
"Ne, not on. such oecasions. They
only dincuss theology, they say, and r
don't care about it."
"Then set your mind at rest, I
shall solve the difficulty for you—yes,
I myself!" rising to her feet with
dimming energy. "I have.oftee told.

Cooking Hog Peed Unprofitable.
The advisability of cooking
steaming food for swine was for ma
years the subject of much co ntrovers
many of the most successful feecle
both in Canada and in the Unit
n
States held widely different opinio
and differed quite as widely in the
practice. During the past recnd
however, the process, unless in t
case of potatoes, has fallen very larg
ly into disuse. It has been pret
conclusively proven that, unless unci
exceptional circumstances, better r
sults are obtained from a given amou
of grain or roots given raw than fro
a similar amount after it has bee
cooked.
It was formerly believed, and s
still by many feeders, that the pr
cess of cooking increases the digesti
I bility of the food; but it has bee
Ishown that as a rule the contrary
true, especially in the case of foo
rich in protein, Extensive exper
ments, conducted both in Germany an
in America have been remarkably un
form in their results, and unite t
show that protein is less digestibl
after exposure to high temperature
The digestibility of starch is to som
extent increased by cooking, and fo
this reason potatoes should always b
cooked for hog feeding. It must b
conceded that some feed stuffs, such a
turnips and pumpkins, are made mu
more acceptable to pigs by cooking
and will therefore in some cases giv
better results cooked than raw; ther
is also some advantage in giving fee
warm during cold weather, but ba
German and American investigator
are practically unanimous in condemn
ing the practice of cooking feeds, oth
er than potatoes, that are palatable in
their raw state, because it reduces the
digestibility of the protein; a loss for
which in the absence of any increased
palatability it offers no compensating
advantages. It is now generally con-
ceded by those who have given the
ending of potatoes a fair study that
hese tubers fed raw have very lit -
le nutritive value, but when cooked
hey are worth about one-quarter as
much as mixed grains.—Canadian
Countryman.
Various methods are advocated for
orltheir eradication, but one of the vory
ny I best is the fallow and. fall rye method
y. practised and recommended by one of
rs the oldest and most successful farmers
ed 1 of the Northwest.
le IThe infested field should be plough -
ed deeply (seven or eight inches if
e possible) as soon as spring seeding

over, and each day's ploughing har-
• rowed as ploughed. As each crop of
ty oats appears it should be cultivated or
er (limed up to the 10th or 12th of Au-
• gust when the field should be given a
nt final preparation and seeded about
m Aug. 16th, at the rate of one and one -
n; quarter bushels of fall rye and pack-
;e Ied or harrowed after seeding. The
oats that germinate with the rye will
O_ I be winter -killed, and those coming up
in the spring will not ripen before the
e rye is ready to harvest. The better
is the soil is cultivated and prepared to
d receive the rye crop the greater will
I- . be the number of oats germinated and
d winterskilled. If necessary this
treatment can he repeated. Fall rye
• is a sure crop, the grain brings a good
price, and it is the one crop which will
ripen ahead of the wild oats.—P.C.N.

sRigid economy throughout the world
ch in the consumption of food, in view of
the deficient crops and the extraordin-
e ary requirements by the International
e Institute of Agriculture, which has
d made the most extensive report it has
th issued 'since the war begin. The in-
• stitute says all nations are confronted
with a grave situation...
I It is estimated that at least 2,300,-
000,000 bushels of wheat will be con-
sumed in the year ending July 81,
1917, and that the end of this period
the world's surplus supplies of wheat
will have decrease to 46,000,000
bushels. The report says it is only
on account of the fact that last year's
harvest was abundant, leaving a bal-
ance of 350,000,000 bushels, that there
is available sufficient wheat for the
year ending with next July.
The world's surplus of five cereals—
wheat, rye, barley, oats, and corn—
is placed at 633,000,000 bushels. This
includes the unexportable Russian
stocks and also 'the stocks of Ruma-
nia and Bulgara. The surplus of oats
is placed at 166,000,000 bushels. A
general scarcity of fodder is expect-
ed.
The total Russian stocks of wheat

' tions permitted, would be available for

Shortage of Grain World Wide.
Study Your Soil.
The soil is the farmer's capital—
is workshop. Upon it is founded the
whole business of farming, and upon
is fertility will depend in large mea-
ure the success of the farmer's opera-
tions. Too often it is not given the
roper care nor is sufficient intelli-
once exercised in its use.
The plant derives certain sub-
tances necessary to its development
rem the soil; the most important of
these are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash. The farmer should know
whether his soil contains these in suf-
ficient quantities to meet the require-
ments of a maximum crop providing
good cultivation is given, or if lie is
not getting satisfactory yields, he
should find the cause. No two farms
have been treated and cropped in past
years in exactly the,same way, which
means that even adjoining farms may
be entirely different so far as soil re-
quirements are concerned. To bring
it up to a state of profitable produc-
veness one farm may need a rotation
ifferent from the other or a different
ertilizing treatment. Bulletins,
ooks, experts and governments help
he farmer in many ways, but they
annot be expected to furnish every
etail in a manner to fit his every
eat!. The farmer himself should

what his soil contains, learn what is

CANADA AS AN EXPORTER.
What an American Magazine Has to
Say on the Subject.
Yankees are inclined to look on the
Canadians, with a total population
'for their country of less than that of
New York City, as of comparatively
small consequence in the adjustment
of world trade which is expected to
1 take place after the war. Yet Canada
is not blind to her opportunities, nor
11 she neglect them.
Already there is a great deal of
Canadian money invested around the'
Caribbean Sea and in South America;
particularly Southern Brazil and the
Argentine. Much of this money has
been put into public utilities, so that
the Canadian exporter has some ad- a
,
vantage, in many cases considerable,'
in having been preceded by Canadian'
interests which, from the very nature, i
of their enterprises, must make a' f
careful analysis e£ local conditions a
and needs.
In natural resources Canada is as
well off as the United States. Labor t
has been more expensive, but this con- It
dition is likely to adjust itself, for la- i
bor in the United States is advancing z
in cost constantly, while it is to be ex-
pected that immigration to Canada
after the war will have a steadying
effect on the labor market of that
country. J
Canada is particularly well fitted
for foreign commerce through having s
two ports which are the closest Am-
erican ports to Europe and Asia— d
Halifax and Vancouver respectively,
Halifax is also nearer to the ports of

is new in 'the midst of a great harbor
development costing 530,000,000,'
which will enable the port to handle
traffic expeditiously. It is connected
with the West by the Canadian North -1
ern and Grand Trunk Pacific trans -1
continental railways, both of which
have auxiliary shipping services on
the Great Lakes. Each of these rail-
roads opens up large areas of natural
resources, both agricultural and min -i
eral.
Canadian shipping is in the hands'
of three strong organizations which
can be counted on to co-operate with
Canadian manufacturers and export-
ers. These are the Allan Line, Cun-
ard Line and the Canadian Pacific
Railway. They have been gradually!
absorbing the independent lines until
the Canadian Atlantic is fairly evenly,
divided between them, while the Can-,
adian Pacific Railway has held the:
lead on the Pacific for many years.
The fact that Canadian shipping fa
cilities are being modernized and con
stantly enlarged means 'that the Do- I
minion will be an important factor in
world trade. It means that the mar-
kets which the United States is look-
ing to as the nucleus of future Ameri-
can world -commerce, may not be so
easily captured apparances indi-
cate, It means that Canada is right
now snaking plans to become a for-
midable competitor, and on nearly
equal terms, with the United States,
and that the whole energy of British
Imperial influence will be exerted to
further intercourse between Canada,
the West Indies and South America.
Canada is a unit in the greatest
commercial organization the world has
ever seen. Her citizens and her gov-
ernment are in a position to benefit
quickly from the experience of other
members of that organization. To bal-
nce this advantage, the United States
s better fitted financially than is the
Dominion to go after the trade for
which these two will compete. The
Jnited States is not lacking in either
oresight or ability. It is recognized
s the most energetic and persistent
f nations. But the exporters of the
United States will make a mistake if
hey think that this country is to
ave the Western Hemisphere to

passports must be shown to the

acknowledges the Minister's prido' as
"perfectly justified,"
After this involuntary but unavoid-
able compliment to English women
the semi-official German mouthpiece
calls the German frau to arms and
workshops in the following Mitring
word
"Ors:am' women have. done much, but
there is more, much more, to be
done. Every German woman must
ask herself how elle can heet serve
her country, health and home duties
permitting. Our war industries are
in bad need of healthy young women.
On the other hand, it is sad to record
that plenty of these who were willing
workers when single refuse to con-
tinue war work once they aro mar-
ried to soldiers. They simply cash
their state and cummunal allowances
and forget that t}s e Fatherland needs
their strength, They forget the sat-
isfaction to be derdved front their
work in faetot•ies.
"Then the old foolish spirit of Casio
also intet'frres, Many of our worm
nsicler it beneath their dignity to
ark in factories. They forget that
ctory work is just as important far
ctory as field righting. Therefore
appeal to you all, German women
th strong arms and healthy hands
ee from home duties, to work in 'war
ctoriees where your labors will bring
artless blessings to the Fatherland
d yourselves,"
Woman may bo heard 'to under-
nd, but a chronic shale grouch is
,der.
