THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., AUGUST 5th, 1937. I Buckinqham FINE CUT London Sparrows Fed in Memory of New Jersey Woman Fresh Crumbled Bread Tossed to Birds During June, July and August LONDON. -- Today during the lunch hour two immaculately dressed waiters marched from a de luxe West End hotel, each carrying half a loaf of fresh bread wrapped in a clean napkin. On the smooth lawn of Embankment Gardens, adjoining, they solemnly crumbled the bread and tossed it to sparrows that quickly gathered. This act, performed daily during each June, July and August, rain or shine, is a living memorial in perpetuity to Mrs. Alexander Angus, a New Jersey woman who fell in love with London's sparrows 18 years ago. She died early last year. Her husband created a trust fund making an allowance to two of the hotel's waiters for feeding the birds daily during the summer, as his wife had done for many years. Punctually at 2.30 each afternoon they march out, dressed just as when they serve the hotel's wealthy clients, and keep the tryst of* the woman who lies buried more than 3,000 miles Different waiters get the job each year. This year they are Harold Osborne and Jim Hoggarth. They like the chore, and well they should. "It gives us a bit of air and sun and a welcome break in the luncheon rush," said Jim* "and besides we get an extra 'fiver' (£5 or about $25) from Mr. Angus' fund, which is handy. The hotel furnishes the bread. It's not leave-overs, no sir; >t's fresh cut from today's bread." New English Locomotive on First Run Portable Barnyard The boy or girl is not really educated who has never seen a farm, and the educators are becoming aware oi the fact. The parks department of New York is doing something about it, and is seeking to bring a glimpse of the country into the congested city s$£i:%- A portable barnyard makes a tour of the playgrounds, with three-day stops at each point: the red barn inside the wooden barnyard fence, with cow and calf, pigs, ducks, turkeys, all making jolly noises according to their kind. So successful has the experiment proved that a portable garden is also going the rounds of the crowded playgrounds, and the slum children are seeing for the first time, roses and marigolds, fuchsias and forget-me-nots, sweet corn and potatoes, all in their natural setting and some of '• |'M"">us stagy? ■ -'■"'Kt.h. --_ --New Uutlook. Slimmer Feeding Of Dairy Cows Cows Kent at High Level of Milk Yield Without Grain Production from dairy cows during the summer can be kept at a high level without the feeding of large amounts of grain or other supplement-tary feed in the barn, if suitable pasture is available. At the Dominion Experimental Station, Fredericton, "I harvest more wheat because I treat my seed with New Improved CEBESAH" Want io reduce root rots and other diseases--get bigger wheat yields --better profits? Then treat seed with New Improved CERESAN. "This dust..." says a recent Division of Botany report, "effectively controls the smuts of oats, covered smut oIbarley,andbunt of wheat. It also improves seed germination." Easy to apply. Costs less than 6c an acre.

CANADIAN INDUSTRIES LIMITED First of the new streamlined super-Pacific type locomotives intended to work the record-breaking "Coronation" expresses later in the year, the "Golden Eagle" is shown as it left King's Cross station in London, pulling the London-Edinburgh express, one of the heaviest and fastest trains of the day, recently. N.B., for the past two years the cows have been turned on fertilized pastures about the middle of May and grain feeding was discontinued on May 20. Production was greater after the cows had been on pasture one month than before they were turned to pasture. The feed cost of milk and butterfat production during the summer months was only one quarter as much as during the period of barn feeding. After the fertilized pastures had been grazed short early in the season, the cows were turned to the unimproved pastures to take advantage of the natural June flush of same and to permit the fertilized pastures to recover- .-Etee -^cr^lizad <Sfi*nr"Ci .^Ji^^' rested whenever it was thougnWiPf visable and advantage was taken of aftermath on hay fields, green oats sown for this purpose and unimproved pasture. In order to secure an abundance of nutritious pasture throughout the summer and thus keep the feed cost of production at a minimum, careful planning is necessary. Improvement of at least half acre of permanent pasture for each milch cow, by the application of commercial fertilizers and proper management, is an important feature. Yields of herbage at this station have been more than doubled by fertilization and the quality of the herbage has been greatly improved. Supplementary pastures are important even when permanent pastures have been fertilized. If hay crops, especially those containing clover are cut early, the aftermath will provide an important source of feed when permanent pastures are short. Oats may also be grown as an annual supplementary pasture. Good results with this crop have been obtained when the oats are grazed for about two hours each day, the cows spending the balance of the day on permanent pasture. When it is found impossible to provide suitable pasture, recourse must be taken to the more expensive system of barn feeding. Any roughage which is readily available such as hay, green oats and peas, green corn or corn silage may be used to supplement the pastures. It will usually be found advisable also to feed a small amount of grain in the late Summer even when good pasture is available, in order to insure the cattle going into winter quarters in good condition. Overcome Rust By Thatcher Whsat DAUPHIN, Man.--Plans are being laid for introduction of a seed exchange policy in Manitoba whereby any farmer can get rust-resistant Thatcher wheat for seed next spring. Hon. D. L. Campbell, provincial minister of agriculture, and members of the Manitoba Seed Growers' Association, discussed plans to prevent recurrence of rust in Manitoba at a meeting here. Mr. Campbell declared it would be a calamity to allow present stock of Thatcher wheat to escape from the province and at the same time he appealed for co-operation of all Manitoba in locating present crops of Thatcher wheat and have them field inspected to insure purity of the Watch The Hoofs Of Growing Colts The importance of keeping hoofs of the growing colt level and in normal shape and condition does not seem to be sufficiently appreciated. We judge that from the sad ccndi-tion in which we so commonly find the hoofs of the adult animal. Insjtead of coming down squarely uponj the ground, we commonly find them ed to one side or the other, oi and weak at the heels, or grownj out long at the toes, or steep and I in shapn. wvl notion-is inclined, so will the branj trunk grow and the m dition will persist through li: When it is remembered thai leg, above the hoof, is formei 1 of pillars superimposed one upon the other, the importance of havin g a level and sound foundation shoul 1 be apparent. If the hoofs are kept perf ictly level* and normal in every way the leg above will grow in the way it should go and not depart from the perpendicular or become so abnormal, in any way, that perfect action is impaired or destroyed. It is, tl ere-fore, advisable to bring the :olts from the pasture once a month and after standing each of them, in turn, on a perfectly level place and viewing the hoofs and legs from all angles, use the rasp just enough to remove inequalities and correctly level the walls at the ground surface so that the super-imposed bones will be in normal, natural alignment and position. In the process it is necessary and detrimental to cut away the soles and frog until new material is seen. It is legitimate to remove only those portions of the frog and soles that are naturally sloughing off, and that occurs only when the underlying horn is ready to take up its work. Unless wide-flanging walls are rasped, as suggested, they tend to split and should the crack extend into the "quick" and hoofhead (coronet), lameness will be likely to result and permanent faults remain. When one part of the hoof hurts, the colt naturally relieves pressure there by putting it upon the sound part, the consequence being that growth becomes uneven and the leg bones above are moved out of plumb and permanent deformity possibly forms.

When To Plant Raspberry Canes In the Kill or Hedge Row Systems During the month of September, or even as late as mid-October, raspberry canes may be planted witn as much success as in the early Spring before the canes have budded out. The distance at which the rows and plants are to be placed depends largely upon the type of training to be followed. In Eastern Canada two systems are in- general use, the hill system and the hedge-row. In the hill system the plants are set at least four by four feet apart, which permits, wth care, the use of a single horse cultivator either way. Where land is cheaper and the labor higher, the distance may be increased to seven by seven feet, permitting the use of a double cultivator and eliminating most of the hand hoeing. If the hedge-row system is adopted, the rows may be placed six feet apart, or wider, and the plants set three feet apart in the row. If the plants are checked in rows so that they will come opposite, a single horse cultivator may be used the first season and thus cut down maintenance costs by a considerable amount. /, WITH THE BOY SCOUTS Over 8,000 boys, said to be the biggest body of youth to ever leave the country at one time, will make up the British Empire contingent to the World Scout Jamboree, opening in Holland, July 31st. Thirteen special trains will move the boys to Tilbury, Yarmouth, Dover and Harwich, and here they will board eight steamships for the trip to Holland. In addition to the Scouts from all parts of the British Isles, the Empire contingent will include Scouts from Canada, Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Barbadoes, Bermuda, Hong Kong Gibraltar, Malta, Palestine, Northern Rhs-Jesia and Trinidad. A dog's yelp enabled two Parksville B. C. Boy Scouts to do their daily good turn. The boys were wandering near an old well, half caved in and 45 feet deep when they heard the dog's cry. Baiting a box with a sandwich, they lowered it into the well with wire. The dog jumped in and the Scouts pulled it up. Blue Springs Scout Reserve near Acton, Ont., the 100-acre property to be developed as a training centre for Ontario Scouters was formerly dedicated and opened July 21st. The main entrance to the Reserve is marked by a stockade gateway and reproduction of a pioneer days "block house." Lord Baden-Powell, World Chief Scout has been awarded the 1937 Wa-teler peace prize of $10,000 "for valuable services to international good will by means of the Boy Scout organization." The Wateler prize was founded by a Netherlander of that name who left his entire fortune to endow an annual prize to the person contributing the most valuable service in the cause of peace. Boy Scout World Census Figures for 1937 just compiled by the Inter-national Bureau, reveal a startling increase of 340,060, with a total membership of 2,812,074. This is the largest increase the movement has ever known. The world census is taken every two years. In 1935 the total was 2,472,014. Boy Scouting countries are now numbered at 49. Doctor Reedman, of the School of Hygiene, University of Toronto, says that the most recent studies show that the' nutritional value of milk is practically unchanged by properly conducted pasteurization, while Wilson, Minett and Carling in the Journal of Hygiene, publish their findings of carefully controlled obser- atJons showing that the nutritive value of pasteurized milk for calves is equal to that of raw milk. There has been considerable controversy for years as to the effects of pasteurization on the nutritive value of milk, fee stock argument of the opponent of pasteurization, whether or not he knows anything about the subject is that the process destroys the vitamin C. It has long been considered that the content of Vitamin C, (the agent concerned with the prevention of scurvy) was low and that milk is an unimportant source of Vitamin C. in the diet. The basis of Vitamin C in milk is the ascorbic acid it contains, and this article varies very little in different breeds cf cattle, with the stage of lactation or age of the animal. The variation is due to the character of the animal's food. In this respect the grass is the best, hay comes next, while silage retains from 12 to 15 p.c. of the original ascorbic acid for a period of six months. It is calculated that on winter ration a dairy cow receives \bout 9 grams of ascorbic acid daily in the diet, and on summer pasture considerably more. Milk alone, will not supply sufficient vitamin C in the diet. It is not normally required to do so. Oranges, tomatoes, (fresh, canned or dried), cabbage, lettuce, green peas potatoes and spinach, are all rich in the anti- Pasteurizaticn causes no appreciable injury to the nutritional value of milk and it must be remembered that the dangers of raw milk in the transmitting of disease far outweigh any minor objections to careful and efficient pasteurization.
