DIES AS HE LIVES “I have seen many deathâ€"beds and in the large majority of cases the dying. man on woman, has given thought to the future . To a certain extent Dr. Osler is right when he says a man dies as he lives. The man who‘lives a careless life may die a careless death, and a blatant unbeliever may cling to his unbelief, ithough there are exceptions. One .was the thief on the cross. But if Dr. Osler really means that the fu- ture,is not in the mind of 'the dying person, I think he is decidedly wrong. When death is due to apoplexy, the brain functions may ,be suspended at once, and there may be no time for thought, but where a conviction of death preceded death itself, then be yond is not forgotten.

Where any twenty, patrons of a factory will agree to weigh the milk from each cow on three days during the month through the milking perâ€" iod, and furnish themselves with scales and sample bottles costing about two or three dollars complete. the Minister of Agriculture announced that the testing will be done free 0! cost to the patrons. As the Depart- ment is anxious to assist farm rs in organizing; ,Mr. J. A. Ru dick, Dairy Commissioner, Ottawa. will be glad to hear from any progressing farmer or factory owner in any com- munity relative to this most impor- tant matter, and will arrange for meetings to discuss the question. ln Denmark, the home of. agricul-. :tural co-operation, there have been testing associations since 1895. and there are now nine thousand iamers 'having their Cows tested systemati- cally.'. Similar work will payihere and pay well. Wherever such work lhas been done, the average produc- tion per cow \has speedily been raisâ€" ed twenty-five and even fifty pounds of butter per annum. Surely there are hundreds of farmers, painstaking and thoughtful, willing to show a. 1 little enterprise for an almost certain‘ return of fromfive to ten dollars zmore than atfl present from each cow per year. In some illustration testing under- taken in 1904 and 1905 by the Do- minion Department of Agriculture it‘ was shown that very poor returns are received from any cows. there- fore the urgent need of cow testing associations is apparent. Valuable practical bulletins on the subject are available and will be sent free to any applicant. As an instance of what subStamial progress‘is possible when individual cows are tested, a farmer near‘Lrawâ€" alls\'ilI(-, Que., furnished a striking i1- lustration. .I In 1896 fifteen cows werq giving an average of only 131 pounds of butter, In 1900 tests were Commenced of each cow separately, the milk being weighed regularly. In 1904 twenty cows wene kept (on gthe same land which when purchased in 1881 would not decently keep nine cows) and the average production per cow was 254 pounds of butter. This increase of 123 pounds per cow can be attained on many other farms. In Michigan, an aSSOciatiOu was or- ganimd in September, 1905. Canaâ€" dian farmers need to take this mat.- per up quickly and seriously. Probably every farmer in Canada would like to obtain more profit, from each individual cow in his herd, but at present there is lack of co- opa'ation amongst farmers to ac- complish this object.
