Uniform Price and Quality.
Prof, H. H. Dean of O.A.C. has
some timely advice for distributors of
milk and other dairy products, He de-
clares that milk and milk products of.
good quality provided at a fair and
uniform price throughout the year
will satisfy the consuming • public
better than variations in quality and
price. He suggests' l
t to following aids
in this direction: Daylight and , n'o
"moonlight" delivery, rhe use of
mono -service bottles for nilk, oartons
for pound print butter, sell varieties
of cheese like cottage 'and thus use
profitably the skimmvtk, the "zone"
system to save duplication of milk
routes, and courteous consideration of
customers by all drivers and salesmen,
The Scrub Bull.
In a recent address on . the scrub
bull and its effect on the dairy indus-
try, W. E. Thompson, president of the
Ontario 'Cattle Breeders' Association,
claimed that a scrub sire was a liabil-
ity to the breeder.
The good purebred sire was the
logical one to head a herd, since with
a registered sire there ,are greater
chances of getting results in the way
of building up the herd than when a
grade or inferior breed is used., The
pme'bred has a long line of descent of
the one breed, 'Mr. Thompson declar-
ed that a cow must give at least 6,000
Bunds of milk to pay' for her keep,
Better breeding and better feeding are
necessary to profitable returns in his
opinion.

this week 'setting the machinery in
motion to accomplish this most im-
pontant phase ,of Hydro at cheaper
rates to the rural communitiies and
financial assistance in placing power
on farms.
Hon. J. R. Cooke, Minister of Pow-
er, spoke to the second reading of the
bill providing for establishment of a
definite maximum rural service charge
of 52.50 a month, applicable to all
areas now paying that rate or higher.
Deficits between the amount realized
at this rate'and the actual cost to any •
district will be paid by the province
out of the consolidated revenue fund.
In the second bill, provision is made
to set aside 52,000,000 out of consoli-
dated revenue to meet the loans on
installaltion. Behind the bill is the.
desire to attract rural users by the
rate offered and by the loans for hyd-
ro equipment. Increased number of
users per mile of transmission line
will lower costs. ;At the end of a few
years, the creation of a deficit will end
with all lines and districts becoming
self supporting.
The problem of Hydro distribu-
tion is one of the biggest the province
has sought to deal with," said Hon.
Mr. Cooke. "One of the biggest ob-
stacles in dealing with it has been the.
misrepresentation thathas gone out
from the Legislature by metn,bers of
the Opposition a.nd stirred rip for pol-
itical purposse." •
While the problem, continued Hon.
..,lir. Cooke, is not electrical, the tre-
mendous- investment , necessary in
transmission lines to canry the power
to the farm areas was the question.
One mile of line erected to carry
power to one customer makes the ser-
vice charge prohibitive, In urban,.
centres, one mile of line will serve
perhaps 100 users. In farming areas,
one anile of line may only serve three
to ten consumers, and yet the carry-
ing charge on each mile of line is the
sante.
'From surveys it has been learned
that 75 per cent, of the rural area of
Old Ontario would yield an avenage
of ,eight or nine consumers per mile if
all the farriers used the power. On
this was based the commission's plan
to establish the maximum rate,
"Rural Ontario will become electri-
fied," said Hon, .Mr. Cookee, while
the cost to the province for/the next
year could not be estimated in view
of the taet that it.was•not known how
coaly fainters 'w'ould take The service."

Kellogg's Alsehma IRemedy has never
been advertised by extravagant state-
ments. It.s claims are conservative
indeed, when judged by the benefeks
which it performs. 'Expect real relief
and permanent benelfits when you buy
this remedy and you will not have
cause' for disappointment. It gives
pother
relief in many cases where
other' so called remedies have' utterly
failed.
