EDITORIAL RARAGRAPI-US. ---Ilan, Martin Burrell, Minietor of Agriculture, has under consideration a plan by which the important in- dustry of poultry raising will be strengthened and developed, and has recently appointed an officer to take charge of this work in Prince Edward Island, *** —There will shortly be published a book of immense value to the agricul- turists of Canada. It will deal with the forage plants, especie,Ily such plants as the clover, ete, Thiswork will be beautifully illustrated and Hon, Martis Burrell has authorized the publication of a very large edition. Oopies will be placed in all rural schools in Canada, and will be supplied to farmers at the nominal sum of fifty Cents. —The Government of Canada has paid out of current revenue a loan of $0,142,000 which matured on Ootober lst. This is a somewhat rare exper- ience for Canadians and one which appeals to them, Under another re- gime a growing revenue was regarded ae an excuse to indulge in greater ex- penditure and a further extension of Canadian, credit with a, view to bor- rowing. The present Government is using growing revenues to pay off debts and reduce the annual interest chargeable on the country. Increased confidence at home and abroad will be the result. —Arrangements are being made be- tween the Dominion Department of Agriculture and the Ontario govern- ment whereby greater assistance will be given for encouraging the produc- tion and use of high grade seed grain. 0o -operation with the Canadian Seed Growers' Association along somewhat new lines will result, it is hoped, in an increased quantity of registered eeed grain being available to the farmers. Seed inspection work is being pushed more vigorously than ever before. More inspectors have been employed and the various districts have been covered more thoroughly. * * * --The half -yearly financial state. ment for the Dominion which has been issued shows that Canada's fin- ances were never so prosperous as under the guiding hand of Hon, W. T. White. A careful and progressive policy is being followed. A striking feature ,of the statement is the de- crease in Canada's debt by ten million dollars as compared with a year ago. The revenues for the six months from March 31 to Sept. 30, amounted to $81, 375,650. This is an increase of $17,309, 126 over the same period in 1911. The increase is at the rate of 27 per cent. It is expected that the revenue for the year will reach the record-breaking total of $170,000,000 if the present rate of increase is maintained. * * * —During the past summer the fruit inspection service of the Dept. of Agriculture evidently extended and completely re -organized by Hon. Mar- tin Burrell. The result has been seen this fall in the most efficient fruit in- spection Canada has ever had. At the last Dominion Fruit Growers' confer- ences great stress was laid on the im- portance of the proper grading and marketing of front and the need for more extended inspection, especially at points of shipment and of fruit coin- ing in from the United States. As far as possible the ideas of the fruit grow- ers have been followed in the re -or- ganization. The country has been divided into five inspectoraI districts as follows : Maritime Provinces, Que- bec and Eastern Ontario, Western Ontario, Prairie Provinces and British Oelumbia. In addition ,to the five chief inspectors fifteen tempoary in- spectors have been added to the stair, NO MORE GRAY OR FADED HAIR.

The only sures way to deternine the better cows from the poorer ones is by weighing the milk and testing it, Weighing the milkof each cow every i day may seem mpracticable, but there is nothing on the farm that is more .practical or of more value. It is a business proposition. A farmer p a who keeps record of his herd will snake over $50 netprofit$that will not. tell a cow for a "' in a singXi4 year. Dairy farrap.ere the world over are the most prosperous farmers, and there is a reason for it. A dairy cow p na Is the mom:reductive 0 ail l~a r animals. The common cow is capable of producing 5,000 pounds of. milk yearly, or over two and one-half tons, To one who has never kept a record of cows this may seem incredible, but thio amount is only common. Well bred dairy cows produce 8,000 pounds y of milk early OA an average, and it exceptional eases cows have produced over twine WI mount.

Games of the Senses. Many people have enjoyed the Observa- tion Game, where thirty or more articles are placed upon a. table or hung upoii as clothes -horse, and, at a given signal, ex- posed to view for sixty seconds, while each person tries to remember the various ob- jects displayed. At the end of the main ute the trial of memory begins, by the guests writing upon paper the names of the articles they saw. This game can be varied by - the testing of all the senses ; for instance Feeling. Place around the edge of the dining table articles of all sorb, sizes and shapes, blindfold the guests and lead them to the table, allow them, to walk once, slowly, around it, feeling of each object for a1 given length of time, then cover the ob. jects, take off the blinders, and write the name of the articles that have been. felt.
