Inti 'the little ole at its foot the train plunges, and wh't;lq tlt`o wornl'a tail -light is mashing OW in France its steaming head is already in Spain. 1s midnight, Th a are four hours to wastes 8eautitul hundred -franc notes have to be exchanged for silver (or lead? five -peseta cart wheels. One lovely picture produces, alas! but ten enmity medallions. Titere is just room in the hotel to steetch one's limbs on a narrow pallet covered with a greyish sheet. In the corner of theroom is an egg -cup for washing. Te water in the adjad'ent jug is tepid. The window gives on to a six-foot court: through ,the cracks of the opposite window comes a smell of garlic: in the courtyard below a man plays a guitar. Out in the cobbled; climbing street many men at their doors play many guitars. It is terrible that their travel -worm audience should be so unappreciative, but they do not seem to mind. There is a cafe pitched on a terraee of cliff; its feet paddle in the silent summer sea. Overhead are Chinese lanterns; within, guitars. The waiter brings caffe frio and a copy of "Las Noticias." There are some English dancers at the El Dorado, but they will not dance better in Barcelona than in London. Dancers are, unlike other artists, impervious to their sur- roundings. The guitars thrum on. The warm air and the whirring in- sects are more tolerable here than in the hotel. The waiter bringe an- other caffe frion, but it is quite hot by the time I wake to drink it. The Spanish train is wide and flat. Two soldiers, in patent leather hel- mets, caricature of Napoleon's hat, eye me. The only privacy in the cao- riage is the seat back that makes the man's head in front of me body - less. At Jerona there is time to eat a cold pancake with a strip of fried fish in its lolling jaws, called, sep- tentrionally, "sandwich." The train is eager to set off, and bustles. The guard whistles—a pause,—the station master has his hand on the rope of a ship's bell, The engine hisses its im- patience The stationmaster tolls, the train's doom—three slow rings. The guard whistles. The engine's hiss mounts to a joyous scream. We roll out. At each halt the whistle - toll -whistle formality is observed, pre- cisely, methodically. Even a Latin country has its formulm. At Barcelona the hotel bus bumps like all hotel buses. The dark-skin- ned porter is a Swede. The hotel is in Bogueria. In my room is a mas- sive mahogany dresser. On examina- tion it seems to be a sink with run- ning water. Sad illusion; the water falls from a pint tank above into a quart pail below, and in the basin there is no plug. I find -a restaurant, and, later, a cafe in the Rambla alias Flores, The street is broad, like a southern inter den Linden. Trams pass on each side of a wide walk, beneath tall trees. There are masses of roses, gay kiosks on which lie the great newspapers of the world, and coffee -colored :ron chairs. Towards the Plaza Catalonia the eye sees nothing but flowers. On the street, at a table, I sip the un- varying caffe frio. I am assailed by beggars. In ten minutes thirty-five stop before me, asking bread or money; some bring deformed child- ren as proof of their poverty. I dis- pose of sundry pesetas. It is grat- ifying to be thanked por l'amor de Dios. It is night. The Rambla has emp- tied itself of its crowds. An occas- ional tram clangs its way home. A yellow moon goldens the trees. Weary citizens sink into the coffee -colored chairs. In Barcelona, in the summer, one does not go to bed: if weary one hires a chair on the Rambla and broods. But my northern mind re- volts at such inconsequential repose. The night is the time for the shelter of roofs, of blinds to keep the mys- terious, terrifying unknown at a distance. I return to the .hotel. The Swedish porter is surprised that I want the key of my room. I climb. Outside one of the doors a pair of gross male boots lurches beside two nestling feminine shoes. The floor of my room is of red stone. I might be in Holland, in a Pieter de Keogh irterior. The window gives on to a little balcony. In the moonlight the railings are rust -.red. Sleep? No, sit rather in the cool light, wonder- ing what this Spain is with its flower- ing streets, its squalid alleys, its formality, its inconsequence, its lux- ury, ita terrible beggars; once a world empire ,and now a courtly factor in the accomplishment of the world's peace. i PUDDINGS Two of a dozen "Quick" Desserts Deliciome - Nourishing Prepared is a mamas. \Add milk to the contents of aackage of -INVINC- IBLE Quick Pudding.

The reports further state that the farmers are feelingvery optimistic and feel assured of a good harvest. GRADING EGGS The "Regulations Respecting the Grading and Marking of Eggs" ef- fective July 7th, are a further evi- dence of the unique position Canada has taken in poultry work. The new regulations extend the standardiza- tion of eggs to those intendbd for domestic consumption. No other country has as yet attempted to take such a step. The original regulations covered export, import and inter -provincial shipments but it is now provided that every case or container of eggs ship- ped or delivered either on consign- ment or bought for resale will have to be marked on both ends with the name and the class of egg contained therein. Provision is made that any producer of other person dealing in eggs may delegate his right to candle and grade to the first wholesaler or retailer to whom the eggs are ship- ped or delivered, in which case cases or containers must be marked with the words, "Ungraded Eggs for Ship- ment Only," This regulation will not apply to shipments or deliveries di- rect from producer to consumer. An allowance is made of six and one-half (8>,t) per cent. below grade atsted apart from breakage. In the event of any complaint as to grade this must be made to the vendor within twenty-four hours of the receipt of the eggs after which time the liabil- ity as to the eggs being below grade will rest upon .theperson on whom the eggs are found. Consumers will be, particularly in- terested in the regulations which read as follows: "Every case or container of eggs that is exposed, displayed or offi3 for sale by any person selling or d livering eggs direct to consum- ers in a public place or manner shall be marked, labelled, tagged or ac- companied in conspicuous letters with the name of the class and grade of eggs contained therein." "No per- son shall ship eggs or cause eggs to be shipped or delivered or. displayed fur sale in cases or containers which are'marked or labelled or tagged with the name of any class or grade speci- fied in these regulations unless. the quality and weight of the eggs con- tained therein la equal to or better than such class -and grade," and "No person shall buy fgr sale or resale or expose; offer fof sale, or sell eggs which are unfit for human food." In other words eggs must be candled and graded according to the Canadian, Standards before being offered for sale, A regulation which is of special import to producers is that which provides for 'those receiving eggs on ccnsignment or baying eggs for re- sale making returns for these eggs on the basis of the Canadian Stan- dard grades. This particular regu- Iation does not apply where produc- er* market their eggs in less than fifteen dozen lots in any one day.

(Contributed o!�eutre,Tornte) 1t le generally rehliaed that horns on cattle are a disad�'antage, and that both feeding :and dairy cattle are improved by dehorning,. 1n that they are prevented to a great extent thereafter treat causing each otho Injury. Deharued cattle also mingle together more gptetly and annoy.and disturb each 'other leas while feed Ing and drinking; and as a result make better gains. Another advari toga of dehorning Is that in shippin fat cattle to market the danger of Injuring aid bruising each. other is lessened and consequently reducee- the waste incidental to the removal of bruised parts from the carcaesea: after sladghter. The economic waste_ and lose. though bruises inflicted by horn thruejs before slaughter la much greater than Is generally rea-. Used. Bruises from this cause are •known to Incur a wastage In some shipments of about one per cent..of the dressed oarcassea, Incidental to the trimming and removal of the bruised parts. The deborning of bulls renders them more tractable and eaally man- aged; -and removes the menace of goring and seriously injuring atten. dente and others. The practice of preventing horn growth In young cat- tle overcomes the objections of .those having sentiments against the oper- ation of deborning adult cattle. This procedure Is becoming generally popular and ib being practiced to an increasing extent In calves. Caustic Potash Treatment ton Calves. The development of horn growth can be effectively prevented in oalvea by the use of caustics applied to the "horn battens or nubbins" soon after birth. To be successful the oper- ation should be dons when the calf la two or three days old and, at least, before It is a week old. Before appl/Ing the caustic It is beat to clip the hair from around the little "horn buttons" en the head. The little "horn buttons"then mole - 0 are toned alightly and rubbed thoroughly for a few seconds with either caustic potash or caustic soda. After a abort time has been allowed for the caus- tic to dry, a eecend application 1s given as before. The caustic Can be obtained in small white sticks, about the size of a. pencil, and one end should be wrapped fd paper or cloth to protect the fingers while applying it. Two or three applications of the caustic, properly done, are sufficient to destroy and prevent the home from ever developing. The akin arot%%d the treated spots should ne smeared with a little vaaeline, and the calf should be protected from rain for a day or more after treatment. This is to prevent the caustic being washed oft the treated spots and spreading to the surrounding akin and into the eyes. Cutting With Knives. When oalvea are allowed to• go without treatment until they are sev- eral weeks old, and the "horn but- tons" have developed into projecting knobs, the caustic treatment is not sufficient to entirely destroy growth, and may permit an irregular growth of horn to develop. At this age, the best method is to remove the pro- jecting horn knobs by cutting them off at their base, close up to the head, with a sharp knife or with a pair of calf dehornera. In the case of male calves intended to be kept as bulla, many prefer to defer the deborning operation until about the age of two or three years, or at a time when the horns are almost felly developed. The deferring of the operation to this time in the case of bulls generally makes them still more tractable than if deprived of their horns while young. In the case of _ steers and heifers not deprived of their horns while calves, they should be dehorned before they reach the age of three years. In dehorning grown animals, It is essential that they are properly secured and re- strained for the operation. For this purpose the animal to be dehorned should be securely fastened in a rack or chute or a solid stanchion- Once the animal le securely fastened, the horns should be removed with as little bungling as possible. tieing Saws or Strong Shears. For removing the Borns, either a sharp ingot saw or a pair of Key- stone dehorning sheave may be used. The dehorning shears are moat com- monly used, nevertheless the saw Is quite satisfactory and serviceable for small numbers. The main feature is to do' the operation as quidkly as possible' and to remove'.the horn slope up to the head, about half an inch below the hair line, thus removing tbat•much of the akin with the Born. If this lie not done there Is a llkeli- oary gowre- gularbod of horn8 takligsecondplace, th formofIring projecting horn $tubo which are un- desirable and spoil the animal's appearance. After the horns are re- moved, no further treatment Is, as a rule, required, unless there is severe bleeding. In cases of severe bleed- ing, the core ,can be smeared with tar and the opening packed with P1060 of absorbent cotton, or with a ,plane of clean cheese cloth. This dressing can be allowed to remain for a day and then removed and the Parts washed off with antiseptic solu- tion, such-ae a two per cent. solu- tion of ereolin or lysoi. With regard to the best time of the year for de - horning adult cattle, It may be done at any time other than during fly time in summer and during aero weather in the case of cattle winter - Ing outelde.--O, D.

In all the cases Investigated the sick animals had been fed sweet clov- er hay or ensilage wlich'had been damaged by excessive heating or moulding. "Sometimes the change produced hi the hay has been so alight that the farmer has either not seen It or has thougbt it to be of no consequence It Is frequently, diffi- cult to make the owner believe that such slightly damaged food la respon- sible for the serious disease of his animals. The Prevention of Mould. Whether the mould which is so generally found to the damaged feed is the ultimate cause of the disease 1s not a matter of great importance. Its presence is a danger signal which must be heeded. It can be said with certainty tbat 1f the hay shows no mould in the mow,_and the ensilage no mould in the silo, tflat either can be fed with safety. How then can the mould be prevented? For the moat satisfactory methods of culti- vating and harvesting the reader is referred to Bulletin 296 of the On- tario Agricultural College. Apart from the moulding which may occur in the field due to damp weather, or in the mow due to insufficient curing, there is another way which must be considered. It is the develobment of mould due to the moist air rising through the ceiling of the cattle stable below and settling out on the hay in the mow. This, f feel sure, has been the cause of mouldy hay In 8ever'a1 cages 1t must be prevented by either a tight ceiling or putting a straw bottom in the mow. Com- mon salt seems to be of real value in checking the growth of moulds in the hay mow. From fifty to one hundred pounds 1s• required for each ton, and this must be sprinkled uni- formly through the hay while 11 is • being spread In the mow. Good Sweet Clover Harmless. Many experiments have been con- ducte*i in the feeding of eamptes of good as bad sweet clover to calves and rabbits. The animals receiving the damaged food almost always be- came 111 and died. In no case has there been any sickness In the ani- mals ted upon good sweet clover hay or ensilage. In one experiment two calves were fed an exclusive diet of good sweet clover ensilage over a period of six weeks and both remain- ed well. Rabbits have been fed on sainples of bad sweet clover hay which were taken from the same hay mow.. Those which received the good hay lived while those which received the bad died. In tlonolueion. The use of sweet clover for hay la risky, because if moulds And ether organisms grow In the bay It may become a highly poisonous food. The ten cent instrument; so fre- quently peddled at the country fairs, which is supposed to serve half a dozen purposes from opening tin cans to drawing a three inch screw, rarely does more than two things well, and that is all that should be expected tor the money, e'iweet clov- er has proved to be an excellent soil - builder, a good ensilage crop, and to make valuable pasture.
