Petmrour cattle and handle them rough,

In regard to feed, I would say by
all means feed a balanced retch.
Whileacorn *IS one of the most essene
tial feeds it is ay no means the only
feed, and should never be fed alone.
There are sevetal feeds that should be
used in connection with corn. And the
more variety of feeds Used the better
results as a rule,
Cottonseed meal should be used and
etaiecially if cattle are aed on pasture,
as it is 'somewhat binding and cattle
are not as apt to scour. Oil meal is
good, but et is somewhat of a laxative.
Both are.good. Bran and oats are also
goad and ehoulel be used in connection
with corn. And if roots are available
they, toe, can be used to good advan-
tage. As foe roughage, good alfalfa
hay and corn silage leads thein all.
Clever hay or soybean hay make good

to harden,the flesh and no animal veill
put on flesh as rapidly with coin alone
awl:heir flesh becomes too hard. Their
flesh and hide should be mellow and
lbose, what the breeder cells a good
handler. And they are easily kept in
this conditacin if properly fed and car-
ed for.

quire different amounts. Don't over-
feed until they are on full feed, and

Enough to clean up:the waste.
Now, in staeting to feed one should
lie very careful. Don't try to get them
on full feed too quickly. "Better be a
full montloor longer than to get some
of them off feed and perhaps scouring.
For if so, they will lose more in one
aay than on be put on in the next
week. Cattle rightly started while on

Finandal Notes
Official confirmation of important
oil discoveries on the Mackenzie is con-
tained in a special despatch reeeived
from Vancouver. 'According to this,
President C. 0. Stillman of the Im-
perial Oil Company, states that oil of
an excellent quelity has been tapped
at Fort Norman, and that t,he content
of this oil is heavy in gasoline. Presi-
dent Stillman says in part:
_ "What we have uncovered at Fort
Norman is oil of a grade that cannot
be beaten anywhere in America. So
far we have not had time to make an
analysis in our own laboratory, so that
I cannot tell aceurately what the oil
will km But samples tested in Ed-
monton by other parties showed very
high pavay, soxnewhere in the neigh
borhood of 60. This is theechoracter
of oil the world as looking for, as the
gasoline content is very high; end you
know thot at the present 'time the
world is tremendoesly short of gas-
oline."

Warders filed out into the middle of
the equare. They were in full state
dress. On shoe and at knee Were great
rosettes -red, white -ansd deep blue.
The full skirts, of their scarlet coats
were striped with bands of black and
gold, and before them and behind were
embroidered great crowns of gold, and
the thistle, roee and ehamrocle, wcelsed

Round each neck was a much -plaited
ruff of fine white linen.
At their aide were their swords; 1•n
their hands -were their 'tall halberds,
g.old-tasselled; on their heads were fiat
velvet hats ribboned with rosettee of
blue, white and red. -
This body of men in their sumptu-
ous medieval uniform formed a lmllow
square inside the strangely contrasted
lines of drably costumed soldiers, In
its subduedeetting of faded old
houses, gray walk, shining cobbles and
dripping fair green trees, the scene
was almost dreamlike.

Out of a doer -then appeared a small
proceesion, pea the band struck up the
natiOnal •anthem with an unexpected
crash of sound. Into the hollow square
of warders walked the Lord Ohamber-
lain dressed in his official dress of
blaele withblack cooked hat and with
O broad pale blue ribbon acrosi his
chest, c.arrying the Tower keys upon
a crimson cushion. On his coat spark-
led a theck cluster of medals and stars.
There followed two agures dressed
in scarlet and with white -feathered
hats. One was Major -on. Pipone the
Major of the Tower; the other, Dr,
Wynne Beater, coroner of East Lon-
don and the Liberty of the Towef.
Field Marshal Lord Methuen himself
was dressed in simple khaki, as was
Lord Cavan, the Lieutenant -Governor
of the Tower, who accompanied him.
The chief warder inarcbed with his
wand surmounted with a silver model
of the W•leite Tower.
Dr. Wynne Baxter then read the
King's warrant from a large parch.

ed the keye to the Conetable. The pro-
ceesima filed, out, the leatal, burst into

Lord Methuen was installed as Con -

Sir Evelyn Wood, Who died at thesend
of last year. The office wae instituted
by William thesConqueror nearly 1,060
years ago, the first holder of the title
being Geoffrey de ,Mandeville. The

is merely a nominal one.

with two otings belonging to two of

The Welfare' of the Home

Ily MARION FLORENCE LANSING, M.A.
When the older children of the home
and neighborhood go back to school
in the outurop, the mother is often
taxed to firal occupations which will
fill in the gap for the active two-,
three-, or four-year-old who misses
their companionship. This is just the
time to delight his heart end satisfy
Isis unconscions desires and needs by
starting him oh a eet of shnple play
lessons. • For these the mother needs
no elaborate materials or schoolroom

Every mother lives over with her

her pause and take thought of a few
of the common facts with which her
child roust become familiar. 'One is an
appreciation of the relative sizes of
things. Think how you would feel if
you had never conecieusly entertained
the idea of • .size and it suddenly
dawned 'upon you one day that two
objects which had SAAIllerl alike yet
vaguely unlike; differed in that one
was slightly larger than the ether.

a child that idea with a nest of boxes,
with a set of books graded by sizes,
with blocks, with epoole, with tin Paile.

for which the worde "large" and
"larger," "small" and "smaller" are
the keys.

the blocks of a kind or all the beads

to be found among the playthings of

they have the idea, doing tbe genie
from piles of their own making. They
are interested in likenesses and differ-
ences, This interest is, indeed, at the
bottom of most play suggestions for
little children. Through it we start
the child on the training of his sensi-
bilities. In discovering differences and
noting them and in performing opera-
tions which make note of them
through touch or sight, the child is
developing these powers which are at
the moment awaiting development,
