animals were killed in the Fall of
1924.
This year a different plan was fol-
lowed, and the National Parks
Branch of the Department of the In-
terior called for tenders and Some
1,800 'buffalo, about which there still
hangs a tinge of romance, went on
t, he market like so many lengths of

ing at Wainwright and will place
buffalo steaks and other choice cuts,

plainsman, on the market for house-
holders to enjoy.
Canada's buffalo experiment, dat-
ing back to the purchase of 716 an-
imals from Michael Pablo, half-breed
rancher of the Flathead country in
Montana has been surprising in many
..,espects. The herd has grown be-
yond the limits of the park and it
has become necessary each year to
dispose of a number equal to the an-
imal increase, which is in the neigh-
borhood of 1600. For two years this
number have been shipped to the
Northwest Territories, where they are
turned loose with two herds of wild
bison already roaming there. These
animals have been moved in specially
strengthened Canadian National ca•t-
tle ears and specially constructed
scows, which take them from the
end of the railway to a point on the
Slave River where they are released.
Government wardens are on, patrol
over the Wood Buffalo reserve dur-
ing the whole Year to guard against
illegal shooting of the animals, and
reports from them indicate that the
plains buffalo alreac]y released are
doing well in their new location.

STAKED HIS FORTUNE'TO BUY
WAR SUPPLIES
How two notable Serbs stood back
to back in the defence of thier country
when the Great War broke out was
revealed on the death of the well-
known statesman, Nickola Pachitch.
e few days ago at the age of eighty.
Although a radical in his youth, being,
sentenced to death at one time and
to five years' imprisonment at anoth-
er, Pachitch finally became prime
minister, a position which he held,
except for short intervals, for over a
quarter of a century. When the
Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdin-
and and his wife were assassinated at
Sarajevo, on June 28, 1914, the Aus-
tro-Hungarian Governti'ient made de-
mands so humiliating to Serbia that
her "Grand Old Man' refused to ac-
cept them and war followed.
Zine other Serb in the story was
Dr. Michael I. Pupin, noted inventor,
and professor of electro mechanics at
Columbia University, New York.
It was Dr. Pupin's illimitable confi-
dence in M. Pachitch that prompted
him to accept without hesitation when
Pachitch, then Prime Minister of
Serbia, asked him in 1915 to purchase
locomotives and other machinery and
supplies for the Serbian Government.
The Austrians had been driven out
of Serbia, but Serbia was preparing
for another attack and was in desper-
ate want of equipment and supplies
with which to repel the next invasion.
Pupin, honored and wealthy, felt a
deep rooted sentiment toward his na-
tive land, and, Serbia havipg no
agency whatever in this country to
act for her, he pledged his fortune,
amounting to over $1,000,000. Ger-
many and Austria pressed Serbia on
the north and Bulgaria on the south,
and by October, 1915,'the little king-
dom was overrun.
"I was facing a critical situation,"
says Dr. .Pupin. "The Government
at Belgrade apparently had disappear-
ed from the face of the earth, and I
had pledged all I had to guarantee
dm this country the Serbian Govern-
ment"s credit. My financial affairs
faced disaster, but I never lost my
.confidence in Pachitch. As soon as
ke and hie shattered army had reach'
ed Corfu my financial embarrassment
-was relieved. The Ottoman Bank of
Paris sent me a eheck to make the
guarantee good." Until the Peace
Cofiference at Paris, Dr. Pupin and
Premier Pachltdh never had Met. Dr.
Pa in's international fame as a scien-
tie hed won the Serbian atatesman'ec
ad/titration, 'and the appeal for pux-
-chase of supplies in this country was
. snide- solely through correspondence.
At the beginning of 1918, the Serbian
War Mission came to Neild' York bear-
ing greetings to Dr. Pupin from
Premier Pachitch and assurances to
the AMericans that he 'lied tendered
evaluable service Serbia. In 1919,
-while the peace conference was in sea-
sion, there came 'another appeal from
Pachitch. fie believed that Dr. ?u

the Anglo-Saxon ..ittentail attitude,

Pupin to assist in the negotiations
concerning the boundaries of Banat,
of which province Dr. Pupin was a
native, and of Baranya. • Then it ap-
peared that the neg615ations concern-
ing Dalmatia, Istria and the Slovene
lands overshadowed the others. Dr.
Pupin was successful in convincing
President Wilson and other Ameri-
can delegates that Dalmatia, Istria
and the Slovene lands should be in-
cluded in the proposed Jugoslav
kingdom. The reedits are history
now, but they were not attained
without having to combat intrigue.
"But Pachitch never showed any
signs of perturbation on account of
these intrigues," Dr. Pupin said. "He
despised intrigues and never attached
any weight to them. He was firm in
his belief that the American dele-
gates at any rate would do the right
thing when correctly informed. I was
delighted that his trust in the Am-
erican delegates was not misplaced."
Dr. Pupin describes Pachitch as
"a true Serb of the heroic age, lib-
eral and democratic and a friend of
the common people, but neverthe-
less profoundly devoted to the royal
dynasty of Serbia."
"His advanced political views of
freedom and democracy," he con-
tinued, °`did not prevent him from
believing that the Serbian nation to-
day is not ready to be presided over
except by a member of a heroic royal
family. This explains why he was
not popular with the so-called Re-
publican party in the Jugoslav State,
which is very small in numbers, but
contains some of the most active and
intelligent thinkers of the nation. I
agreed with Pachitch and not with
them, and that is wiry I resigned
in 1917 from the Jugoslav commit-
tee in Washington as soon as I
noticed they were working in the
direction of a Jugoslav republic."
Reputed the wealthiest man in
Jugoslavia and even in all the
Balkans, M. Pachitch's private life
was a model,- of simplicity. His wife
before their union was extremely
wealthy in her own name, but the
statesman, who had devoted his life
to the service of his country, had nd
desire for luxury. He was a saint
in his home, Dr. Pupin says, receiv-
ing the homage of his children and
his grandchildren. In 1919, when
the peace conference was over, the
Jugoslav kingdom a reality and
Pachitch's work done, Dr. Pupin
then 61 years old, pleaded with M.
Patchitch, then 73 to cast off the
harness and rest. The elder smiled
benignly upon his friend and coun-
selor. "My boy," he said, laying a
hand on his shoulder, "I can't. You
know how it is." And Pachitch died
in harness at 80.
Perhaps no one among the amal-
gamated Serbs, Croats and Sloveness
mourned the passing of the pictur-
esque Pachitch more than Dr. Pupin,
whose condolence was carried in a
cablegram to Mme. Pachitch, once
his hostess upon an occasion when
she prepared and served a luncheon
with her own hands, as a comlpli-
ment to the distinguished Ser'bian-
American visitor that he might enjoy
"cooking like your mother used to do."
A landlord in a certain town found
it no easy matter to collect his rent
with unfailing regullarity.
One woman was particularly trying
in this respect, and he thought him-
self lucky if he only received from
her part of the rent due.
One morning when he called at her
house she offered him a half dollar.
"Is that all you've got for me?" he
inquired with a scowl. "You're so
much in arrears."
"Go on, now, and he satisfied," was
the reply. "You wouldn't 'have that
if my old man hadn't sold the back
door."

A farmer rode into a Middle West-
ern town and inquired of the first
man he met where he could find an
undertaker.
"An undertaker?" the man asked.
"Is there some one dead at your
house?"
"No, there is no one dead," replied
the farmer, "but my wife is pretty
sick."
'Well, then," the man advised,
"you want a doctor, not an under-
taker."
"No," said the farmer. "What I
want is an undertaker. You know,
I have joined the Co-ops, and we
have cut out the middlemen."
TURKEY AND PUDDINGS PRE-
PARED BY THE TON FOR
CHRISTMAS DINNERS
"Christmas shopping early" is one
of the slogans of the Canadian house-
wife, and it is a slogan which must
be followed also by the commissariat
of the Canadian National Railways,
in preparation for the heavy Christ-
mas traffic which means special
Christmas fare on all dining cars for
those who must travel during the fes-
tive season. Christmas shopping by
this department commenced months
ago, for the reason that whereas the
ordinary housewife has to worry a-
bout only one or perhaps two plump
turkeys, the buyers for the dining
cars have that worry multiplied one -
thousand fold.
The Christmas shopping list which
must be followed is no light one, for
the traveller on a Canadian National
train expects his meals, during the
Christmas season, to have that true
holiday touch which is given only by
the addition of certain special dishes
to the menu. Two of these alone,
turkey and plum puddings, require
forethought and preparation. At
Thanksgiving and again at Christmas,
several thousand plump turkeys are
required to meet the demands for the
special fare of diners; Thanksgiving
means the purchasing and cooking of
from four to five thousand birds and
for Christmas from fifteen hundred
to two thousand. This year, Christ-
mas travel promises to be heavier
than' ever before and it is anticipated
that the total number of these fes-
tive birds prepared and served will
be near the latter figure. As these
average about twelve pounds in
weight, an idea may be had of the
task which faces the dining car chefs,
working in their small kitchens on the
train, to prepare the h'olida$ meals,
with this aggregate of some nine tons
of turkeys.
Another big item in the lists is
Christmas pudding, of which some
5,000 will be consumed in dining cars
on the Canadian National System
durkrig the holiday 'week. This is
made from an old English recipe by
expert chefs, and here again consid-
eratiion of the individual demands that
While some of the puddings may be
made up in one or two pound sizes
-for parties, there must also be small
individual puddings for solitary din-
ers.
• Other items, for 'the "trimmings"
must also be provided. Raisins, nuts,
cranberries, apples, and oranges are
all necessary to complete the holi-
day metalb, and huge quantities of
these have been purchased, for de-
livery as required.
To the housewife, the recipe from
which the Ohrit;tmas puddings are
made May be of interest at this time:
Ilere it is, With quantities sufficient
to make six two -pound puddings: -
2 lbs. raisins; 4 lbs. currants; 2 lbs.
chopped suet; 2 lbs. brown sugar, 1
lb. bread crumbs; 1 -lb. flour; one
large carrot, grated; two tablespoons
groand ginger; 8 teaspoons cinnamon;
8 oz. all -spice; 2 nutmegs, grated;
citron ; %-lb. candied peel ;
rum o,brandy to be added if desired.

en, and mix thoroughly. Put into

the best practice. The application
of tincture of iodine will destroy any
of the common bacteria that may
gain access to the wound, it stimu-
lates healing and tends to stop minor
hemorrhage.
In nail and calk wounds there is
no agent that will give better re-
sults than iodine. Keep the injury
clean. If there is hemorrhage, soak
clean sterile absorbent cotton with
iodine, apply over the wound and
bandage. Early attention to wounds
will save your horse much needless
suffering, and make it easier for the
veterinarian to complete the treat-
ment. Don't be afraid to pour on
the tincture of. iodine. Keep your
fingers off the wound, and see that
everything that touches it is sterile.
A supply of iodine and absorbent cot-
ton should be at hand on every farm
where live stock is part of the farm
equipment.—L. Stevenson, O. A. C.
Keep the Pigs' Cool.
The pig, that is comfortable all the
time, is a profit maker. The pig that
is uncomfortable from any cause,
particularly overheating will not do
well. Gains in weight cannot be
made while he is using up energy
looking for comfort. Pigs kept in open
lots with no shelter from the hot
sun other than that afforded by the
fence, cannot make the same gains
as are made by pigs that enjoy the
shelter of trees or a sunshade. A
sunshade can be easily made by set-
ting four fence posts In a square
eight feet apart on each side, to sup-
port a roof frame of 2 x 4 or 2 x6,
which is covered over with hay,
straw or hoards. Hay or straw roof-
ing is cooler than boards. Dust can

,rock dip. Give the pig comfort or
he will sweat, walk and squeal.
There is no profit in such actions,
and you won't get three cents out of
every pound of grain that he eats if
You let him do it. The sunshade
will help.—L. Stevenson, Dept. of
Extension, O. A. College.
Cutting Down Farm Expenses.
The farmer roust meet his own
problems in a masterful way. Fall-
ing to do so, all efforts by the De-
partment of Agriculture in his behalf
will avail nu progress. To keep up
the desired standard of living on On-
tario farms the labor income must be
increased. Should the farm be earn-
ing all that it can, then the possibil-
ity of Increased income must come
from saving effected on operating.
Can feed bills be eliminated by grow-
ing better feeds on the farm? Some
Ontario farmers have done so. Can

ducer rows? Many Ontario farmers
have done so, and now use the ma-
chine wherever possible. They also

Why the Pigs Clough.
Thumping, cough, unthriftitiess
and digestive disturbances in pigs
from one to six weeks old are usual-
ly symptoms of the presence of lung
worms. Treatment of the affected
ones is of little value. If the number
of ascarids present In the lung is
large the little pig will soon turn up
his toes. If the numbers are limited
the pig may outgroty the malady.

per cleansing of the sow prior to falr-
rowing effectively prevents the
