You will find it a much easier task to save if you keep your "Spending" money in a Savings Account with The Bank of Toronto. There it is safe and can he drawn upon when really needed. A reluctance to draw from that account will grow upon you, and protect you from many needless expen- ditures. R. P. BELLAMY Manager FEVERSHAM Once the saving habit is acquired, the account, with its earnings of interest, will steadily grow to a sub- stantial amount.

Care Bef -re Lambing Important â€" How to Help In Cases of I'oor Delivery â€" A Good Ration for ^ K-.ves When Raising Lambs. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) THE two main factors contrl- tributing to a satisfartoiy lamb crop are tiie proper feeding and care of the .siieep during the six months previous to lambing time together with care and detailed attention given lo the flock during the lambing nerlod. Plenty of exercise coupled -ylth "r.ffl- cient amount of the right kind of feed to maintain the ewes i.i good thriving condition will usually result in the birth of active rugged lambs, for which the mother will have a sufficient supply of milk. In practic- ally every flock, no matter how well cared for, the attendant must be on hand frequently, day and night, dur- ing the period the lambs are arriv- ing. A little attention at the proper time often results in the saving o£ not a few lambs. Absolute dryness and freedom from draught are very essential for the flock at lambing time, and when -the lambs are expected in March or even early April provision should be made for reasonable protection from the cold. * Wool balls in the stomach is often the cause of much loss in young lambs. This trouble as well as diffi- culty In getting the lambs to nurse may be avoided by clipping away aii loose and dirty wool from around the udder and quarters of the ewes. It must be borne in mind that at this time the ewes, heavy in lamb, should be handled gently, otherwise serious loss may occur from ewes slipping their lambs. Provision should be made for a few small pens located along the warmest side of the building. The ewe about to lamb is much safer separated from the main flock and in cases of diflleult parturition, weal< lamlw, ewes disowning their lambs, and numerous other difficulties tliat may arise they can be looked atter a great deal more satisfactorily when confined in «s»iall enclosures. It not infrequently Happens that a ewe has difflciilty in delivering her lamb; this is more common in the case of young ewes with their tirst lanil). When the lamb has come forward I'ar enough so that the nose and front feet are in sight and tlie liead is unable to pass tlirough tlic ewe should be assisted by gentle pulling on the forefeet. If this fails smear the inside of llie vagina well with linseed oil; this has the effect of softening and allowing the opening to stretch, and will, imless the case is a very severe one, give relief. No action should be taken until it is reasonably certain some assistance is needed, and before investigating the hands should be perfectly clean and disinfected. Lambs may be born weak and ap- parently lifeless, more particularly in case of difficult delivery. These may be revived by quick action on the pwt of the attendant. First re- move the plilegm fiom the moulli, then hold the mouth open and blow gently a few limes lo start lung ac- tion. Ne.\t lay the lamb on its bflly and gently beat it on the sides next to the heart just back of tho shoulder. A ewe may lose her lamb and siill have a supply of milk. She may be given a lamb say one of twins or an orphan lamb tielonging lo another ewe lo raise. This may be accom- plisli by .skinning the dead lamb and throwiug tlie .skin over the one to be adopted. A ewe may take to another lamb when held and the lamb allow- ed to suck. Especially is tliis true where a ewe has a full flow of milk. When a lamb is born dtu'ing a cold spell it may become so thor- oughly chilled as to require atten- tion. Place the lamb in hot water until well warmed, rub dry, then wrap in a cloth and place beside a fire until restored. A lillle warm milk '.altcn from the mother sliouUl be givon ns soon as the lamb will take it. A few drops of whiskey in a little warm water may often prove beneficial. Ewes, like dairy cattle, vary a great deal in tho amount of milk given. In case of single lambs the motlier may have more milk than the lamb will take for a week or more, the lambs may be nursing on one side only and the other side will become inflamed and caked. Either hold the ewe and allow another lamb to nurse or milk out. In case the udder has become hard bathe with hot wat(^ for five minutes with a woollen cloth, dry thoroughly and apply (warm) pure melted hogs' lard. Ewes should be fed sparingly, especially of grain, for a few days after lambing, as soon as they are safely over tho effects of lambing Ihey should be gradually brought up to full leed. Clover or alfalfa buy, together with a grain ration of oats and bran should give results. If .oots or good quality silage la available Ihcy will supply Ruceucency and add variety to tho ration. All lambs Bhould be docked and the male lambs, other than those in- tended for breeding purposes, cr.s- Irated at from ten days to two wofko' old. Following is a good ration for ewes when raising lambs: â€" Oats, eight parts. Ilrun, four parts. Oil cake, one part. Hoots, four to six pounds per day. Oood hay. Uimbs started on >4 pound per (lax will give a good account of ihe food consumed. â€" Percy SackvlUe, O. A. College, Guelph. THE STABLEIN WINTER Keep Your Dairy Cows Comiort' able and Clean, *-*..'.ji -^.â-  A laying hen requires grain, meat nr milk as well as gieeu food dur- ing the winter months. Spray the Place With Whitewash â€" Add Some Germ-killer â€" Fill In All Broken Window Panes, and Provide Other Ventllntioiiâ€" Care of PlanU In Winter. (Contributed by Ontario Department ot , Agriculture, Toronto.) THE period of long, cold winter Is here. Of necessity, our milking cows must have special protection from the cold, and at the same time must be made as comfortable as possible. v^ The whole of the Inside of the stable should have a thorough clean- ing. The dust and cobwebs should be swept from the walls, ceiling and windows; the windows should l>e thoroughly cleaned, also ihe man- gers and stalls. Then spray white- wash all over the inside, except the windows. To the whitewash add some disinfectant such as a carbolic acid preparation, or a chloride germ- killer. This will kill disease germs, _ lurking in dark, damp places and maintain the health of the animals, which Is at the foundation of profit- able milk production. The next step is lo put in all brok- en window lights, but where the owner thinks he cannot afford to buy- glass at the present high prices, a piece of coarse cloth, s'uh as an old sack, may be tacked o\ er the win- dow space. This will provide some ventilation in a stable not otherwise ventilated. Cow stables need ventilation in winter by having the foul air remov- ed and fresh air introduced without a draft directly on the cows. A sim- ple way to do this is to hinge all windows at the bottom and allow them to open inward, so as lo shoot the air toward the celling. There should be a V-shaped board at each side or end of the window, lo pre- vent the side-draft. Foul air outlets should extend below the ceiling of the stable, and preferably have two Inlets for foul air â€" one near the floor and one at the ceilin?. as in tlii.s way the foul air is removed without cool- ing the stable too much, by simply closing the top outKt. No system of cheap ventilation works automatical- ly. They all require some attention. Other points In stable preparation are to have all ties secure so that a. cow may not got loose; repairs to mangers and gutters should be made so that they may be kept clean and sanitary without too much labor. Litter and feed carriers are great sav- ors of labor in looking after a herd of milkers during the winter. In a word, make the cows com- fortable and lessen the labor of stabling cows by having them sani- ^ tary and convenient, with as many helps as possible in the form of ma- chinery. â€" Prof. H. H. Dean, 0. A. College, Guelph. Care of PUuits In Winter. Water growing pot plants only when they need It, then water theiu thoroughly. When the soil begins lo get dry ana powdery on tho sur- face, or when tlio pot is lapped with the knuckles or a knife handle and it emits a ringing sound, the plant requires water. Give sufficient water so that It runs out throu.eh the bot- tom of the pot. Water plants in the morning in cold weather, not at night. Use tepid rain water, or water that has been exposed lo air and sun for a day or two, if possible. The water should bo lukewarm, about 50 to 60 degrees F. in winter. Humidity in the atmosphere is one of the main requirements to be successful with plants indoors. Place pans or saucers of water on the heat- ers or registers. A steaming kettle or pot of water on the stove is a great help in this respect. When the pots become full of roots, or where the soil is poor, worn out or exhausted, liquid fertilizers can be given plants. The soil should be moist, not dry, or very wet, when the fertilizer is applied. There are several good plant foods soJd at seed stores. "Sterling Worth Plant Tab- lets" or "Bouora" are both good. Half an ounce of nitrate of soda dis- solved in a little warm water first, and cold water added to make one gallon, also makes a fairly good fer- tilizer for pot plants. Apply once every week or ten days. Spraying with water will help keep down Insect pests. A fine spray thor- oughly applied to all parts of the plant is necessary lo be effective. Plants having very rough hirsute fol- iage, should not be sprayed or spong- ed, especially in winter, only the plants having glossy, j^labrous fol- iage. Insect pests Increase and thrive best In a dry, warm atmosphere. For aphis or green lice, while fly, red spider and thrlp, "Sulpho-Tobacco Soap" is a good remdy. Black Leaf 40 is also a good remedy for most Insect pests on house plants. Soapy water or a solution of whole oil soap and tobacco water are beneficial for scale insects on plants. Slake about one-halt pound ol fresh lime in a pail of water, allow it lo settle. Give about a teacupful' of this solution once or twice to each plant suffering from earth worms. Put frozen plants in a dark place at once, temperature about 4 5 de- grees F. Do not touch the leaves- Sprinkling with ice cold water la beneficial. â€" W. Hunt. O. A. College, Guelph. A Chat About Chickens. In very cold weather to make the hen comfortable and to keep her in good condition teed (a little at a. time, but often. In dry .straw or other litter) some kind of mijed grain. Milk to drink, or eboiit a pound of meat or its equivalent in beef scrap eacii day, is required to supply material for the building of the egg white for twenty hena.
