For many ménths we have had messages from Rome and Zurich, and even from Amsterdam, travel- fers' tales and stories by neutrals, friendly to ourselves, encouraging the notion that Austria was likely soon to break. The 'constitution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with its mixture of reluctant Slavs and unwilling Italians, not to go deeper in pointing to-the slumbering ele- ments of discontent, have suggested that some day or other there would be internal trouble. The food scarc- ity has often beca exaggerated, but its effect has beea cumulative. It is not only that disappointment has followed digappoingment. Grant- ed that the condiiions somewhat im- proved; there would be the fact that the people living under straightened conditions so long would be less able to bear reductions which might not be so severe as those they had en- dured before. The .agreement with Ukrainia and the virtual conquest of Roumania raised high hopes in the. enemy coun- tries. Now it is certain that for this year at least that"expectancy was ill- founded. The accounts of riots in Vienna and- élsewhere, the disclo- sures in prisoners' letters of depres- sion and the spread of Bolshevikism with the return of prisoners from Russia may all be symptoms of a big change. Yet, we have so often been led to believe that the awaken- ing was near and there has been after -disturbance a return to appar- ent tranquility and obedience, that something like indifference has come to be felt over this sort of news. It is declared, however, that be- hind the newspaper reports there are now solid facts. These may be summed up in the sentence that Austria was never before so serious- ly affected by her conditions. The situation, therefore, should be watch- ed closely. It may develop quickly, or it may not develop at all. To use the words uttered by a statesman who should be in a position to gauge the matter, 'Anything may happen, or nothing may happen." That sounds like a platitude, put anony- mously into cold print, but coming from the source it does, it has great weight. The alarming state of the food situation in Vienna is described In a despatch to the Berlin Tageblaft from its Vienna correspondent, who says: . "The daily rations per head are fixed at approximatdly three ounces of bread and flour substitutes, one ounce of meat, less than a quarter ounce of fat, two and a ball ounces of potatoes, three-quarters of an ounce of jam, and a quarter of an ounce of war coffee, making the total daily allowance seven and three-quarters ounces." These rations may be supple- mented by recourse to secret chan- nels and by the payment of exorbi- tant prices, the correspondent' de- clares. For example, flour can be secured by paying the eguivalent of from $4.50 to $5 a pound; meat at from $5.75 to $7, and horseflesh at $3.50 a pound. Meals at the middle- class restaurants cost---$3.50." Facts About the Moon. The apparent size and brighiness of the moon depends uron ifs near- ness to the earth, anc the biggest and brightest full moon we have en- foyed this century was that. of Jan- uuary, 1912, which came as near to the earth as any moon can ever come--about 221,520 miles, that is Lto say. For another moon to rival that we must wait until 1930. The greatest distance the moon can ever recede from the earth is 252,830 miles; when, of course, she appears smaller and dimmer. The phases of the moon, since she shines by reflected sunlight, depends upon the continually changing posi- tion with regard to the earth. It is because of this that the horns of the crescent moon in its first quarter al- ways point to the left, while in the last quarter the position is reversed, the horns then pointing to the right. - She always turns the same face to use so that what the other side looks like we do not know. The probabil- ity is, however, that it does not dif- fer ihaterially in appearance from the one we are acquainted with, for the moon i8 a cold, dead world, a huge mass of burnt out slag. Being destitute of either water or air it is, of course, quite incapable of sustaining any sort of animal or vege- table life. . The so-called "man in the moon" is really a group of extinct volcanoes, some of them more than twenty thou- sand feet nigh. + The moon exerts comparatively lit- tle direct influence on the earth, ex- cept insofai as regards the tides; which are due almost entirely to its attraction. Its reflected heat is_al- most negligible, being somewhere about 185,000 times less than that of the sun; while the light of the full moon, notwithstanding its ap- parent. brightness to the sun's light, is as 1 to §18.000.~--Suffolk Gazette, ers ---- Self-Imposed Exile.

Dry Cows, Young Stock and Pigs. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) WEET cider is unfermented apple juice, and hard cider is fermented apple juice. To get the juice the apples are either ¢fushed or ground in a cider mill and the juice expressed from the pulp. The fermentation of apple juice, or any other fruit juice, is brought about by the development in it of yeast. Yeast cells are microscopic plants invisible to the naked eye and are always present on the surface of truit. When the fruit is crushed to get the juice many of these yeast cells get into the juice and if these are not destroyed they will induce fermentation. : Consequently, in the manufacture of sweet cider we must destroy the yeast cells that are present and pre- vent others from getting in. The sur- est way of doing thid is to pasteurize the juice immediately after it is ob- tained from the fruit and store away in well-sealed containers. In the case of cider the pasteurization pro- cess means heating the juice to 170F. for ten minutes and then filling into containers that have been scalded and can be tightly corked. Care should be taken not to let the tem perature get above 170F. during pas- teurization or the character of the juice will be injured. The juice Is then stored away at a low tempera- ture to allow it to clear. - ing the fresh apple juice to ferment in the cask. The fermentation is nat- urally induced by the activties of the from the sirface of the apples. As, however, there are various kinds of yeast cells, and also many mold spores liable to be on the fruit which may injure the quality of the cider, spoiling the flavor, it is a good plan to control the fermentation either by first pasteurizing the juice and then' adding a good yeast or simply by adding a good yeast tc the raw juice as soon as obtained from the apples. --Prof. D. H. JonesG, O. A. Coliege, Guelph, - 2 How Winter Rhubarb Is Produced. The production of rhubarb in win- ter has become of considerable value among gardeners. It is easy to 2 it certain methods are followed. f one is making a permanent 'business of rhubarb forcing, it is necessary, each year, to set ott a new bed as plants once forced are of no further value. In the spring large .roots should be dug. split in one bud sec- tions and réplaced in rich molst ground. Durifig the growing seasod they are kept Cultivated and free from weeds. - In the fall they are covered with manure. Next spring a second bed is planted as before. That fall a large part of the first bed is taken up leaving sufficient to replant another bed the next spring. The roots are taken up the last thing in the fall before the hard, freezing weather comes and are placed in piles in a shed where they can easily be got at during the winter, but will remain frozen. About Dec. 1st take in a sufMcient number of roots, place these bud side up on the floor of a warm cellar--about 68 to 70 degrees «and cover with an inch of sand. Be sure to fill in all interspaces. Keep this sand moist. About a week later the buds will begin to swell, and in from four to six weeks, depending upon the heat of the room, the cool- er the slower growth. starts -- you should have rhubarb ready for mar- ket. After these roots are exhausted throw them away and put in more. If a constant supply is required make a new bed every two or three weeks during the winter. Be sure to keep all lights dimmed. Put burlap or brown paper over the windows to get the bright pink color so much de- sired. --A. H. MacLennan, Ontario Vegetable Specialist. Shenld Cows Be Fed Turnips? This is an old question about which considerable' difference of opinion exists. If my reader is Scotch, he or she will likely answer the question by saying, "Yes, as Scotchmen, turnips, and good farm- ing are three things usually found together on farms in Ontario. There was a time when butter buyers were not so particular about 'the flavor of butter as they are at present. It is common to hear wo- men purchasers on city markets, say to farm butter-makers, Your bit ter is turnipy," which is sufficient to cause a los of the sale. Creamery- men object very strongly to "turnipy cream." While 1t is is true that some careful feeders are able to feed quite large quantities of turnips to cdws giving milk, without causing any serious trouble, there is always danger, which can best not feeding these to un If they are grown MANUFACTURE OF CIDER MMU IN STOCK.
