Boys And Girl Many are the uses in agriculture ts which boys and girls can be put. Many are the pleasant and profitable ways in which they can be employed. Many, 00, are the lessons that can be taught. Svery method judiclous- 1¥ made use of means inculcation of love of country, encouragement of laudable ambition, and profit to the 'nation, School gardens, school faire, competitions in cultivation, production and stock judging. are all means to desirable ends, and are all means towards keeping the young- sters at home and on the farm in af- ter life, and all tend to the improve- ment and mainténance of the welfare of Canada. Last year boys and girls devoted their attention in considerable mea- sure to productive patriotic work. The lads cultivated vegetable garden plots, the harvest from which was sold and the proceeds turned into Red Cros and other funds. The lasses knitted and sewed to give com- fort to the soldiers in the trenches and ald to the wounded. They also helped their parents in the good work of the day. Their young minds could hardly recognize the splendid, the noble, the magnificence of the tasks in which they were engaged, They hardly recognized that they were also adding to the wealth of the country. But they were. . Ev- ery potato they grew, every pair of socks they knitted, made Canada so much richer. The effect of their in- dustry spread all over the empire. They little knew théy were heroes and PE Ac aA A eo Two Good Ayrshire Records Two remarkably good Ayrshire re- cords are reported by W. F.

Springbrook Myrtle, In the three-yeat-old class, gave 13,210 Ibs of milk and 565 Ibs, fat in 366 days, and Lenore 2nd in the two-year old class, 12,052 lbs. milk and 524 Ibs. fat in the same in Agiclure | heroines embryo. But again they were. Few of them probably figured out that a thousand of them, each producing ten dollars' worth of ve bles or expending ten dollars' WONT of labor in making useful arti- cles, were contributing ten thousand dollars to the capital of the country. But once more they were. At the same time they were profiting them- selves and their native land to an ex- tent that cannot be measured in gold and that knows no limitation. School programmes issued for the present year abundantly indicate that the good work is to be continued. Sa- tan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do was the significant warn- Ing of the olden times, In Canada to-day there is no room or occasion for an idle hand. The smallest can do something and should do some- thing. Half an hour a day would see something accomplished, some- thing that in after years the boy and the girl would look back upon with pride and satisfaction. nile organizations are an encourage- ment to the service, while boys' and girls' clubs are distivetly useful, while the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides are beyond estimate in righteousness of principle and teaching, there are heaps of room for individual effort There is grand opportunity also for the adult to encourage and further that effort. There is none so poor, and, beyond babyhood, for so young, that at this crisis in the affairs of the empire, 'hie or she cannot do some- thing, however small, to help forward the great and good cause.

The Motherless Foal 'At a meeting of the Nottingham and District Shire Horse Society, held at Welbeck Hotel, Nottingham, recently, it was decided that the Secretary should act as a medium whereby. uiembers tould communi- cate the loss of a mare or foal and make inguiries as to whether any other breeder in the district had a Similar misfortune. The advantage of this was that possibly a farmer in one district might lose a foal and another farmer in a different local- ity lose a mare. If the two farmers were put inte communication the man with the mare might be able to purchase the motherless foal and rear it, While juve- : ------------ A Good Herd and a Good Feeder An excellent working dairy herd! is that on the farm of Mr. Thomas H.

For two reasons, dairying maintains the fertility eof the land. First, because in butter there is almost no plant food of val- ue; and, second, because 90 per cent, of all the grain feeds purchased for the cow, as well as 90 per cent. of all food raised on the farm and fed to the cow, is returned to the farm, With barnyard manure and an oc- casional crop of clover, the land will remain productive indefinitely. When We stop to think of it, whenever we sell wheat, corn, or oats, and get one dollar, we sell about 30 cents worth of our farm. When we get one dol- lar by selling butter, we sell less than one-half a cent's worth of soil. The land owner who makes his money selling the soil fertility, and in 10 or 50 years leaves the farm worn out, is not a farmer, but a soil robber. He holds the same relation to the soil that a timber thief does to our forests. The tillers of the soil 4H § ih i ? il C. Good near Brantford.
