Toot of West Stree Deliciously cooked and economical, ~Iusist on Furniture Special HINTS ON LIVING. ROOM PIECES this length, as it is better fitted FOR A great deal of mouey is lost each gear in feeding calves on whole milk or Jetting them suck the-eow. This is. often due to the fact that those who practice such methods do nol believe good calves can be raised on skim milk. They rather picture the skim milk calf as being a sargll, un healthy, stunted individual that is ab sclutgly worthless. Many such case: can be found; however, such results should not be charged up to the skin milk, but rather to the igrorance oi carelessness of the feeder. It has been shown that as good calves car be raised on skim milk as with whele milk, They may not look se well for the first few months in life, but a the end of one year it is hard to tel a skim milk calf from one that has run with its mother. The skim mill calf .often makes a better growth ir tc take care of itself after being wean ed, The calf receiving skim milk learns to eat grain and hay fast and depends more on them for its food. Watch the Colt's Foot. Left to itself, the foot of the coli does not always grow according t the most approved fashion. There is need for the careful horseman ic keep close watch on the colt's hoofs. In stony or gravelly soil the horr usually wears off at the rate suf ficient to maintain the proper pro- portions, but.in black loamy soils the hoofs are little worn and growing fast they may become. unshapely. This way even result in a malforma tion in extreme cases. The usual remedy in case of suck unshapely hoofs on the youngsters is to shorten the toes with a rasp. The walls of the foot may also be round- ed a bit. A rasp and a knife in the hands of an enthusiastic novice, how- ever, are likely to be wielded so as to do mere harm than good. The good horseman is always a careful horseman. A toe too long is likely to 'make a pastern too steep. Wher the colt's feet need = attention |i should be given, else the eventua sale price is liable to be cut dowr considerably One should also re member that hoof horn, like al other parts of the colt's anatomy must be made out of the feed whicl goes in at .the youngster"s mouth. Freak of Nature. There was horn at Didsbury, Alta. on the evening of June 1st, a colt with a deformed head. The body o the colt was perfect, but the heat was of the same formation as tha of a sheep, with the exception of the lower jaw, which was shaped in the usual and natural manner. The ani mal was blind and had no nostrils the only method of respiration bein: through the mouth. The animal wa fed upon milk and was apparentl nealthy and strong, but only con tinued to live for about 36 hours. 1 appears that the mare was seared © sheep, and this is apparently the on ly reason by which this freak of na ture can be accounted for. " Unique Short-Course, In one of the counties of Illinois a unique short-course was recently held for thirty-six farm boys whe have never enjoyed the advantage of agricultiiral imstruction. A portion of the court-house was turned 'to : combined dormitory and class-rooni and local farmers who had had agri cultural collega training served as in- struetors. The results of the course were said to be tremendously satis- factory. This sounds like an emi nently practical idea that might be carried ont in many other districts Green Beetles Attack Com. The little green beetle, cousin to the cucumber beetle and the South- ern corn-root worm, is spreading in- to the great eorn states of the mid: dle west. The only remedy which can be used against the destroying pest ig to stop planting cornu for two years. Most of the damage is dene by the caterpillar-like grubs in the spring The eggs are deposited in the soil and hatch out in May and June. The jBrubs then gnaw the roots of the corn and destroy its fruitfulness. - Constitution of Dairy Cow. A strong constitution is indicated by large .nostrils, broad, stron muzzle, a deep chest and a roomy "middle. The wide muzzle and roomy middle are in direct relation to the feeding capacity of the individual, and the ability to consume a large amount of feed is a condition which is sought for in both the dairy cow and beef animal. This is true be- cause an increased consumption of feed in the case of a beef steer means an increase in daily gain. 4 dairy cow that is capable of consum ing a large grain, bay, and' root ra tion has a-higher milk yield than a cow with a similar milk test, a simi lar disposition and udder develop ment, but of inferior ing capa city. Large nostrils indicate a large lung surface, and a deep chest indi cates a large chest cavity with plenty of room for breathing. A cow with smail nostrils and a shallow pinchec chest materially lacks in constitut- jonal vigor. Breeding cows having this conformation, will transmit the condition to their offspring, and lack of constitutional vigor is one o! the predisposing causes of tubercu osis. In this connection, calves are of ten reared on skim milk, buttermilk or whey after the first week. If onc or two cows in the herd are giving off tubercle bacilli in. their milk, o the milk is being contaminated b manure.and dirt falling into the milk pail during the milking process, the skim milk which is as a call food will contain the germs of tuber culosis. This milk is very likely then to be the means of spreading tuber ' of the calf so The young st "0 if pen.

The Welshman's Cheese A type of cheese which enjoys great popularity wherever it is known, takes its name from the lit ie town of Cacrphilly, near Cardiff, in South Wales, where it was origin ally manufactured. For some con- siderable time its manufacture was confined exclusively to this area and and the sale and consumption « aot spread much further. Some five- ind twenty years ago, however, theese makers on the other side of he H¥istol Channel began to take an «terest in the Welsh cheese, anc aow by far the greater amount and yest quality cheese is made on the leep rich alluvial tracts in Somerset, 'ound about Highbridge, a little own which is the chief and central narket for Caerphilly. Weekly, or wice weekly, auction sales are held, it which the pitch of cheese may be wything from ten to fifty tons, de- pending on the time of year. Deal- irs attend these auctions in.consid- arable numbers, and purchase cheese to take into Wales to supply the great demand from the miners and others workers, who are very fond of it. For toasting, and for the prepar- ation of that delectable dainty known 18 Welsh rarebit Caerphilly cheese nas no rival that can come anywhere gear it, or so its faithful adherents assert. The cheeses are not very largé, generally about Tlb, or 81b, ih weight, measuring some 10in, across by 235in. deep They are xound and flat, with a smooth coat, which should, to be quite in the fashion, be cogted with a white mould. A blue mould on the outside was at one time favored, but now the taste is for a white one, Se If a blue one grows during the ripening period it is rubbed off, and some white flour or meal is rubbed over ia its stead, o fppart the~desired white appear- ance, On boring, the cheese is found white in color, free from holes, fair- y soft, but not pasty, while the oack of the iron shows plenty of fat. When pressed with the fingers, the ~heese feels fairly firm, yet rather 'rubbery"--and the coat is smooth --not wrinkled. When sold, which 8 usually when they are ten to four- ieen days old, the flavor is pleasan- ly acid, but rather curdy, and to some people somewhat weak and in- sipad. But when quite ripe--in five or gix weeks--the flavor will, if the :heese has been well made, have im- proved vastly. It will then be rich wd full, and should find favor with he most fastidious of cheese epicu- res. Selecting Cows. Since the dairy farmer is a manu- facturer, it would seém to be wis- dom to look the more closely after ost, especially as he does not ex sect the selling price of milk to soar Assuming that the farm is in good sondition and carefully handled, what does milk cost per hundred pounds? That can be ascertained only by keeping records of each in dividual cow This is all the more necessary be- cause "men (and row) were deeéliv- ers ever." They may appear to be good, heavy producers, but their value as economical only be determined when their yield of milk and fat is checked up by the scales and tested. Of what use is it when the factory pays. 95 cents per 100 pounds to keep cows whose milk costs $1.26 per 100 pounds just for feed alone? This is what often hap- pens till cow-testing is taken up. Milk and feed reeord forms are supplied free on application to the Dairy Divi- sion, Otawa. It is quite possible to have one dollar's worth of feed return two dollars' worth of milk through good cows, that is, cows selected by test. This is both economical and profit- able milk production, The average cow is not an economical producer, because she has not been selected, but, like Topsy, 'just growed." A dairy farmer will prove his bysiness ability as a manufacturer when the herd is composed of economical pro- ducers. Make each cow pay a good profit --C. F. W.

Constitutionally, the Ontario and Dominion govern- ments are separate, with certain rul es that' uphold that principle, and, while some incidents in recent years tend to draw the interests of the dominating parties in each into the same boat, a .safe distance must be kept between the two, Upset the balance by a too close relationship, and we have in Camada the begin- nig of a demoralizing political ma- chine such as exists in the United States, and which enables yellow Hearst newspapers, trust combina- tions, and political graft to degrade lin a great degree the mational life lof the country.

In the meantime we can leave the matter in Sir James Whit- ney's hands, trusting that the com- servative leaders in the Province of Ontario "will recognize the necessity of calling strong men to their coun- ells, of leaving weak ones where they belong, and of running this province as their own good sense dictates." market erel, | Need Of Markets. loswego Herald The butcher and the grocer -are-not to blame for the bigh cost of the ne cessifies of life, They are vietims of an artificial, round about method food distribution.
