The young mo- 'ther is told that the cold in the head, the crying, the restlessness, the up- set stomach or the diarrhoea are all ,due to teething. Blaming everything that happens :to the child on teething is just about .as ridiculous as is blaming all the ills, which may come to the middle aged woman on "change of life." These sweeping statements are not true and they may cause serious harm because 'they lead to neglect. At birth, each tooth lies in a cav- ity of the jaw bone. The teeth grow .as the baby grows and at about the seventh month the teeth begin to push their way through the gums. 'There are twenty teeth in the first set of baby or deciduous teeth. These do not appear all at once, By the THE ADVANCE.TIMES IME are reported to be preparing exhibits to show in the competitive classes at the World's Grain Show in Re - gine next year. One noted mangel seed firm at Norwich will send sam- pies of its chief product in addition to at least ten different kinds of ve- getable seed of their own growth in- cluding beets, n-cluding'beets, cabbages, radish, pars- nip, : sweet corn, spinach, tomatoes, beans and 'peas, cucumbers, squash and lettuce. responsible for the delay,.such as im- proper diet, Teething is a normal process and should not cause any real upset. Many babies are a little disturbed or fretful when teething and. their sleep may not be quite as sound at this time with the result that they are not as happy as usual, Again, many ba- bies, who are healthy show no dis- turbance at all, and the mother is sur- prised to see the white point which is baby's first tooth. Any real upset which occurs at teething time 'should riot b'e blamed on the cutting of the teeth. Condi- tions that arise then shotild be treat- ed just as if the child were not teeth- ing,. When the child is ill, the doc- tor should be called to find out the cause .of the illness. Particularly should mothers be warned not to con- sider a diarrhoea as being of no im- portance simply because the child is teething. If parents would realize that it is not safe to assume that teething is time the baby is one year old, he us- responsible for swhatever happens to wally has six teeth, the number gr aially increases until when he is two :and a half years old' the entire set of twenty' teeth should be .through., The mother' need not be alarmed if her baby does' not cut his teeth .at the ages given because children differ a great deal in the order and age at which their teeth appear. If the baby has not cut his first tooth lby his first birthday a doctor should :see him, as his failure to do so sug- gests that there is sortie condition ad- theirchild during the teething per- iod, many babies' lives would be sav- ed. At the present time, serious con- ditions go untreated because they are blamed on teething and considered as of no importance. Some of these conditions lead to serious and fatal results because of the neglect which follows wrong ideas about teething. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. • there were 300 flocks etrtbracing 100,- 000 birds, and to have this increased u 500 flocks for the1930-31. season shows a keen desire on the part of flock owners to improve their laying stock.. Corn Borer in Essex Despite an increase in the infesta- tion of Essex County cornfields by corn borer, County Inspector James Hedrick does not believe that dam- age this year will be heavy. He has completed an -inspection trip through the county and forecasts a good crop, of corn. Essex farmers have co-op- erated Heartily in the fight against the corn borer. The borers were comparatively scarce last year, due to dry weather, but the frequent rains this, summer have brought them back. Continuance of drastic measures to combat the nuisance is planned. News and Information For the Busy Farmer itFurnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture) Prize money for the special class of registered and certified seed at the _Royal Winter Fair this year has been increased to $1,666. Prizes for this class last year totalled $765 for elev- en sections. The number of sections for 1931 has been extended to 21, to include field beans, field'peas, man - gels, swedes, corn, garden beans, on- ions, beets and garden peas. Many farmers in Oxford Weekly Crop Report Reports from agricultural repre- sentatives regarding' crops and live- stock indicate that harvesting carne on very quickly and in many coun- ties haying and harvesting were be- ing carried on at the same time. Yields of grain will not be as high as anticipated earlier in the year, due to the prevalence of rust, smuts and hot, sultry weather during the season when crops were filling. Pastures are in good condition and still growing. A prolific corn crop will be harvest- ed, having shown phenomenal growth ih the last two or three weeks. Fruit prospects are excellent. Hogs Yield a Profit An Essex. County farmer is mak- ing a great financial successof hog raising at the prevailing prices. After selling a shipment of hogs for $2700 he immediately purchased 80 small pigs and 3500 bushels of mixed grain to be used as pork 'producer, and is at it again. If one farmer can make a success of this phase of agriculture there seems to be no reason why oth- ers cannot do likewise with careful feeding and attention. One farmer in Western Ontario kept exact records last fall of every pound of wheat fed his hogs and weighed, them to ob- serve gains. At the time of sale his figures showed that every bushel of wheat fed netted him one dollar and fifty cents. The opinion is advanced that even with wheat at 35 cents a bushel, if pork remains at $8 per cwt. the farmer will be able to secure one dollar a bushel for his wheat by feed- ing it. Boxed Peaches For West Orders for some twenty carloads of boxed peaches for Western Can- ada have been received through the offices of the Ontario Growers' Mar- ket Council, according to Chas. W. Bauer, „ Secretary. The Council is. making a determined effort to recov- er Ontario's market for fruit and ve- getables in the West. It is realized that Ontario lost. ground in this mar- ket through being . indifferent to the requirements of grade and pack. The Council's commercial representative was sent West some weeks ago to develop the market for fruit and the present orders for boxed peaches are the result of his efforts. Incidental- ly the prices are higher than could be realized for basket fruit, as basket packing is not a satisfactory method to be used for the western market. As a result, various Ontario fruit - growing. organizations are equipping themselves to pack peaches in boxes for this trade to other provinces. The Council's slogan, "Better Packing and Better Distribution," is meeting with enthusiastic co-operation by the ma- jority ofgrowers • Improving Poultry Flocks For the season 1930-31 there are approximately 500 flocks under in- spection in Ontario under the On- tario policy for approved farm flocks or breeding stations. This involves a total of around 175,000 birds. This policy became operative in the season of 1928-29, with 150 flocks, 45,000 County birds under inspections. In 1929-30 ca Wilk on the IAEFT of country' roads . , . Face the Traffic This rule is important at all times, but especially so at dusk and at night.'

I;;EC1P®LD MACCAU>LA"ll`, MINISTER OF HIGHWAYS Markets' Council Active Registration of all growers, to- gether with the products in which they are interested, will be one of the important steps in a plan under way to solve their problems by the recently -formed Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Markets Council. After gathering this information, the Coun- cil will undertake to study the .grow- ers' marketing problems and give ad- vice to each grower or growers'. or- ganization on packing, packaging and selling each crop in its season. The newly formed organization will be self-sustaining and owned by the growers themselves, and it will be purely advisory. Barley for Hens As experimental work continues, suitability of barley as a feed for lay- ing hens becomes increasingly appar- ent. The results of a series of stud- ies conducted over a period of five years show that barley will not only replace corn in the ration, but that barley -fed birds produce larger eggs at a lower cost. This is particularly true at a time like the present, when the bulk of the corn supply for poul- try feed has to be imported, and when barley is available at the lowest price in many years. Barley used for poul- try should be plump, heavy and of good quality; and when barley is fed it should be accompanied by a good grade of tested cod liver oil to sup- ply the vitamin deficiency in the bar- ley. Station -to -station ("any- one") calls between 7.00. p.m. and 8.30 p.m. local ;ime are on the low evening rate. Between 8.30 p.m. and 4.30 a.m. they are on the "night rate" basis and still lower. Nita was worried ... she could not imagine where she had lost her bracelet—in the hotel or on the journey home. "I can't think what I could have done with it," she kept telling her mother. "Why not telephonc.to the hotel,"'mother suggested. "It's after eight -thirty now and a call will only cost a few cents." Imagine Nita's joy when the hotel clerk told her that the bracelet had been found in her room and would be mailed to her right away. Thanks to her mother's suggestion, Nita's anxiety was re- lieved at once ... and the cost of the call was considerably less than her taxi fare from the station. Feeding Mose Cattle ciple «'hick goes to the core of the For the first half of 1931. the move- relationship between the world, its merit of store cattle from stock yards to country points for feeding purpos- es has more than held its own and is beginning to show a gain. For the week ending July 9 this year 1,333 store cattle went to meet lots as com- pared with 832 for the same week last year. For the year to date the total is 26,717 head as compared with Maker and its Redeemer. Sorrow and trouble are world-wide in. their dis- semination, and will be so long as sin haunts and infects the world of p men, and the refrain: "I need Thee, oh!

Mrs. Pasture for Pigs Supplying good succulent pasture for growing pigs is a practical way in which to effect economy in feed costs. As a result of a series of tests made at Brandon, Manitoba, the use of pasture over a period of years, made an average saving of slightly over 100 pounds of meal with each 100 pounds of grain. Every farmer will recognize that this is an import- ant saving, particularly if lie has to buy his grain feed. A number of pasture feeds were tried out and rape was found not on- ly to have the greatest carrying cap- acity but it also proved satisfactory from other standpoints. The rape should not be more than six or eight inches ':high when the pigs are turn- ed out on it. In turning pigs but on pasture the farmer should keep in mind that protection from burning sun or rain is 'necessary and for this purpose cabins should be provided, For the treatment of skin eruptions on pigs that have become sunburned the application of three parts used crankcase oil and one part of coal :oil will correct the condition.

Its writer, Annie Sherwood Hawks, was a country woman by birth, and early training, having been born in the village of Hoosick, Renaselear County, New York, U.S.A., in 1835. She had the advantage of an advanced education at the Emma Willard Sem- 1 inary in Troy, N.Y. She wrote a good deal of poetry in early life, but was always of a religious turn of mind,. being interested in Sunday School work from the time she completed her education. In 1859, being then in her twenty- fifth year, she was married to a well- to-do business man, Charles Hial Hawks, and moved with him to Brooklyn, where she lived until his death in 1888. . In Brooklyn she met the Rev. Dr. I need Thee every hour, Most Holy One; Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son. It has beet acutely observed that to be effective and therefore popular, a hymn should express a great theme in its first line or couplet. There is this much in the theory that as a simple matter of fact the great hymns of Christendom do ar- rest immediate attention by throwing out their main subject at their be- ginning, "Rock of Ages,. Cleft for Me," "Abide with Me," "Jesus Lover of My 'Soul," Just as I Aro," "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "0 God our Help in Ages Past," are casesin point. And it will be noticed also that all these renowned lines, particularize, and bring directly down to the individual sonic great attrib- ute of the Ditty, or express some well realized raced of the soul. Our hymn has this same vital qual- ity. .It expresses in its opening line a truth every soul will accept, a priti- Ev,i:ry phase of industry will be re- presented at the 1981 Canadian Na- tional Exhibition, Toronto, then removed to Bennington, Ver- mont, where she died in 1917 front heart failure at the ripe old age oft eighty-two. The hymn "I Need Thee Every Hour," was Mrs. Hawks' greatest production. She composed many other hymns, especially "Whol- ly Thine," "The Cross of .Jesus'=',' "Good Night" and "Why Weepest Thou." Although she is most widely known for her hymns, she has written many poems, but it is doubtful if any of them will outlive her best known. hymn. Probably her gentle, though always alert mind, would prefer that this should be her memorial. At any rate this pious, thoughtful country wo- man has given the world a hymn which will be used for many a year to come to express the devotion of Robert Lowry, an accomplished writ- devout Christians to Him who alone er of simple Sunday School hymns, can satisfy all the needs of the human who compiled or assisted in the corn- soul. 11$1$111 \ps■■I uIIImumIo8/M■lwlRMMalII[ m iii■ iii Maitland Creamery sa ■ Lima BUYERS ■ in 1 CREAM ■ g ■ a■ Pi ■ ■ NI ■ ■ ■ ■ .
