There is a popular belief that when ..spring comes, the body ..should be given a purge to rill it of the poisons 'which are 'supposed to have accumu- lated during the winter, and to fol- low this by a tonic to purify the blood. It is true that by the ,time the spring comes, there are.a number of. g people who do not feel well. They ,are all tired out, and their appearance answers the descriptions they give cot themselves. • No wonder they feel miserably and look it! For months, 'they have led the kind of life which would make anyone lose his health. -They shut themselves into hot rooms 'with no ventilation, take no exercise, inever go out into the fresh air, and 'eat just as much as they do when they are active during the summer. riO,t is bad habits of living during the "`winter months which cause the ° trou- ble; the blood has nothing to do with it. Prevention is better than cure, but iif you have not been taking reason able care of your health during the -winter and you are now feeling the xesults ofyour our carelessness, you will avant to know what you should do. The only, way to get back what you have lost is by paying attention to the points you have neglected. Health which . you have lost by your indifference will not be regained by the use of "spring tonics". Health is found in fresh air, exercise and at- tention to the diet. The body is quite capable of rid- ding itself of its waste material if it is given half a chance. Use water in- ternally and externally. Take a warm bath at least once a week to help the skin to function properly. Drink a glass of two of water before break- fast and between each meal to help elimination. Cultivate regular toilet habits, Fresh cool air • acts as a stim- ulant for the whole body, and, to- gether with sunshine, is nature's own spring tonic. The: body cannot be healthy un- less it is kept in good running, order by exercise,' The big muscles of the body must be kept in condition by use. Whether it is work or play that. brings them into use does not mat- ter so long as they are used. Eat according to the work you are doing. Let your diet consist of a wide variety of foods, and remember that milk, green vegetables and fruits should be used regularly. The blood is as clean and pure in the springtime as it is at any other time. Alterations in the blood are brought about by certain diseases, but] not by the seasons of the year. Blood purifiers are not required. What is needed, and all that is need- ed is healthy living. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. Farm News and Views Published by direction of Hon. Robt. Weir, Minister of Agri- culture, Ottawa, 1931 Making More Butter The current news letter of the Do- minion Dairy o-ninionDairy Branch contains the in- teresting information that butter pro- x'etion for 1931 has got away to a aplendid start. Ontario reports an in- •.crease of 21.2 per cent. over the cor- responding period last year; Saskat- rchewan reports receipts of butter -fat .56 per cent. ahead of last year; Sas- 1katchewan shows an increase of 76.1 -per cent. in butter production for the month of January; and Alberta re- ports an increase of 83 per cent, in the amount of butter -fat received for February as compared with the same .month ' last year. Portable Hog Cabins Practical equipment is . best suited ::to the raising of hogs experts of the Dominion Experimental Farms find, ...and the ,essential characteristics of the new type of all -year hog cabin which is recommended for general farm use is essentially practical. It is portable, durable and strong, cool and comfortable for summer use yet cap - :able of providing adequate shelter for winter; it accommodates four or five brood sows, and it is economical and easy to build. Complete plans and Apples in Egypt r The market for Canadianproducts Particularly apples, is ever widening. Recent reports indicate that a poten- tial market of considerable interest to Canadian growers is available in Egypt. Canadian apples are being well received in the Cairo market, selling at around $4,88-1 per box, They have not only won recognition as the best apples coining onto the Egyp- tian market, but apparently they can be laid down there at a price which. makes them more attractive than oth- er fanny pack importations from the United States. — Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. The Measure of Success Writing in the Economic Annalist recently with respect to the necessity for economic analysis in farming, Dr, J. H. Grisdale, Federal Deputy Mni- ister of Agriculture,•states "The mea- sure easure ofsuccess or failure in a bus- iness enterprise is the amount by which the returns from that business exceed the total cost of running it, including interest on capital, wear and tear and labour -hi other words, the net profit. Farming is a business en- terprise and, like other business; it must measure its success by its pro- fits." specifications are provided in special Circular 78, available without charge on application to the Publications Branch -of the Department of Agri-, culture at Ottawa. Approved Chicks Proved The Approval Policies of the Poul- try Division of the federal Depart- ment of Agriculture are bringing new life and interest to the poultry indus- try in Canada. In the Maritime Pro- vinces all chick business is talked in terms of Approved Chicks. Here are typical reports from New Brunswick. S.B., Chipman, N.B.—Had practi- cally no loss from Approved Chicks purchased from Approval Hatchery last year—they were satisfactory and I am buying Approved Chicks again this year. A.R., Plaster Rock, N.B.-Received 2,00 chicks March 25, 1930—at two weeks 2,000 alive. Mrs. L. G. Fawcett Hill, N.B.—Am well satisfied with Approved Chicks -pullet flock now giving 65 per cent. production. R.W.C., N.B.—Received 300 ap- proved chicks May 12 (1930); 292 alive at three weeks, 280 lived to ma- turity, starting laying in October. R.S.R., N.B.—Received 208 ap- proved chicks. April 2 (1930); 206. alive at three weeks; 200 reached ma- turity; pullet production 85 per cent. in November; some pullets averaged 52 per cent. for pullet year. It is records such as these that are. winning Dominion -wide popular-sup- port opular-sup-port for Hatchery Approval and ac- count for the growing demand for Canadian. Approved Chicks. Department of Agriculture advise, Where birds are closely confined dur- ing ing winter months, as is -the case in most parts of Canada, they receive very little direct sunlight, and with the rations usually fed they do not receive all the vitamins they require. Calcium and phosphorous are two minerals .specially required for lay- ing`•pullets and hens in the manufae ture of eggs, The digestion and as simulation of minerals, especially cal- cium, require one of two things; an abundance of direct sunshine, or an abundance of vitamin D. Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, and is one of the reliable sources of this type of feed. Help Beautify Canada Every Canadian can have a part in the "More Beautiful Canada Cam- pign" which is beingsponsored by the Canadian Horticultural Council and the Experimental Farms Branch of the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture. "Beautify Your Home Grounds and Help Make Canada More Beautiful" is the slogan of the campaign, and it carries a wealth of meaning and a strong appeal to the esthetic which means so much in the lives of good citizens. What to plant, when to- plant, and how to plant and care for it, are important items dealt with in a special booklet "Beautify— ing the Home Grounds of Canada" which may be obtained on application to the Horticultural Council head- quarters at Ottawa, or by writing to the Publications Branch of the De- partment at Ottawa. The price of the booklet is 25 cents. Better Fertilizers The Dominion Seed Branch re- ports that the volume of fertilizer sold in Canada increased from a total of 50,000 tons in 1924 to about 225,- 000 tons in 1929. Increased tonnage, however, is not the whole story. The average. analysis 'of mixed fertilizer sold in 1924 showed about 14 per. cent. total plant food as compared with about 30 per cent in 1930, so that the actual plant food sold in mixed fertilizers in 1930 was at least eight times that of 1924. The trend seems to be toward higher analysis fertilizer containing- less filler and more plant food at lower cost to the fariner. The trend in demand, also, is for the fertilizer containing the higher percentage of plant foods, Alberta Takes Lead Alberta . has the distinction of be- ing the only province in Canada pro- ducing registered alfalfa seed, reports the Seed Branch of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. The first successful attempt to grow this seed was made several years ago by the. C. P. R. Land Irrigation Company, using the popular Grimm strain on irrigated'land in the. Brooks. district. Most of the alfalfa produced in this district is now registered, being grown under the rules prescribed by the Canadian Seed Growers Associa- tion, including inspection ' of the growing crop and the cleaned seed by officials of the Dominion Seed Branch. The seed has developed an enviable reputation in other provinc- es and has found markets abroad, quantities having been exported to both Europe and the United States. About 330,000 lbs. of cleaned seed was produced last year, andof this 80 per cent will be sold as Register- ed, with the balance No. 1 and No. 2 grades. W. E. ANDERSON IS MY NAME.

For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times By Jessie Allen Brown Eggs Spring is the season when most eggs are used on the table. At this time "they are cheapest and people welcome them as a change. Eggs have been so cheap this winter that consumption must : have increased Fresh eggs were so cheap that it was not worth while to store eggs. It is an ill wind that blows no one good. Cheap eggs have been hard on the producers, but have -been a blessing for the consumers. I have heard sev- eral women say that they never have used as -many eggs for the supper meal, as they have this year. I am sure that 1 have never used as n1any:: e not At about: 80 cents a dozer I have resisted the temptation to put" an ex- tra one in the pudding or the pie; I have added them to cream sauce;' two or three extra have gone in the omelet; and soon, None : of which, would I have felt I could afford if eggs had been their usual winter price, Eggs are one of the very best of foods and the more of them you use in your cooking the better for your family. Eggs contain all the elements necessary to grow ,a chicken, so, if you think about it, you will see why they are such a good food. The high percentage of Calcium, consequently milk and eggs, when taken together supplement each other, and are very. valuable foods. Eggs contain con- siderable iron, as well as protein and fat, and of course all the other el- ements to a lesser degree. They also contain all the vitamins. To Cook Eggs The chief thing to remember in cooking eggs is to keep them at a low temperature. If you are boiling eggs do not have the water boil rap- idly, Have the water boiling when the eggs go in, then reduce the tem- perature and cook them in gently simmering water the required num custard will not separate. In making 'bet, of minutes. The .time to be cook- a boiled custard, be very careful to have the heat very low and stop cook- ing the custard just as soon as it begins to coat the spoon. Baked Custard 2; cups scalded milk 3 eggs cup sugar 118 teaspoon salt nutmeg or vanilla as desired Beat eggs and sugar slightly, add salt, and add the scalded milk very slowly. Pour in a buttered dish and set in a pan of hot water and bake at 325 degrees until seta Test with a silver knife. If it comes out clean, This finest 'Orange Pekoe tea costs less than others `Fresh from the garden and horny and difficult to digest. Custards Custards are very easy to make, but.judging from the many watery custards served, you would not think so. They are an egg mixture, and therefore must not be subjected to a high temperature. There is no ex- cuse for a baked custard to separate and to be part whey, when served. The dish in which the custard is be- ing baked should beset in a pan of water, and the oven should not be too high. If you take these simple precautions, I gaurantee that your Smutty Wheat Menace.. Some pertinent facts with respect to the smutty wheat menace in West- ern Canada are cited by the Division of Botany of the Dominion Experi- mental Farms, who urge practical and economical home treatment for the control of "Stinking Smut (also'. known as "bunt" or "ball smut"). Grain inspection- records show that the volume of smutty wheat increas- ed front 1,012,094 bushels in 1927 to, 4,042,239 bushels in 1929; or from 2.6 per cent to 16:5 per cent in the Dur- um varieties. Formalin treatment, which will ensure the crop against loss, can be applied at a cost of 35c per fifty bushels.

Eggs cooked in this way will be cooked evenly and will not be hard on the outside with the centre wat- ery. Coddled Eggs Put the eggs in boiling water and let it remain over the heat, until the water returns to the boil. Remove them at once and cover closely un- til cooked. Seven minutes will cook it through and the egg will neither be hard nor yet watery, but will be gently jelled. This method of cook- ing. eggs is the best for the babies. It is much the nicest way of "boil- the custard is cooked. Never let the ing" an egg, for grown-ups too, water in the dish boil, Custard which Pried Eggs has been thoroughly chilled makes a Fried eggs are more difficult to delicious dessert when served over digest than eggs cooked in other ways. This is partly due to the fact that they are fat -soaked and partly due to the high temperature at which they are usually fried. Grown-ups, with healthy digestions, can usually digest fried eggs without undue dif- ficulty, but they should never be giv- en to children, to people of weak di- gestion, nor to convalescents. Om - lets and scrambled eggs, which are usually cooked in the frying pan, should .be cooked at a very low tem- perature. If not, they become hard fruit, such as pineapple and bananas, alone or combined, or canned peach- es.
