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 per- petuity 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. Punctu- ally 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 away. Different waiters get the job each year. This year they are Harold Osborne and. Jim Hoggarth. They Iike the chore, and well they should. "It gives us a bit of alr and sun and a welcome break in the lunch- eon rush," said Jim, "and besides we get an extra 'fiver' (£5 or about $25) from Mr. Angus' fund, which The hotel furnishes the bread. It's not leave-overs, no sir; it's fresh cut from today's bread." Portable Barnyard _The boy or girl is not really edu- cated who has never seen a farm, and the educators are becoming aware or 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 areasi A portable barnyard makes a tout of the playgrounds, with three- day stops at each point: the red barn inside the wooden barnyard fence, with 'cow and calf, pigs, ducks, tur- keys, all making jolly noises accord- ing to their kind. " So successful has the experiment proved that a portable garden is also going the rounds of the crowded play- grounds, 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 them in various stages of growth-- New Outlook, Summer Feeding Of Dairy Cows Cows .

N.B., for the past two years the cows have been turned on fertilized pass tures about the middle of May and grain feeding was discontinued on May 20. Production was greater af- ter 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 unim- proved pastures to take advantage of the natural June flush of same and to permit the fertilized pastures to re- cover. The fertilized pastures were rested whenever it was thought ad- 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 pas- ture for each milch cow, by the ap- plication of commercial fertilizers and proper management, {3 an import. ant 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 im- portant even when permanent pas- tures have -beén fertilized. If hay crops, especially those containing clo- ver are cut early, the aftermath will provide an important source of feed when permanent pastures are short. Oats may also be grown as an an- --nual supplementary pasture. Good re- sults with this crop have been ob- tained 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 pro- vide suitable pasture, recourse must be taken to the more expensive sys- tem 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 supple- ment tho 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 rondi- tion, Overcome Rust By Thatcher Wheat DAUPHIN, Man,--Plans are being laid for introduction of a seed ex- change policy in Manitoba whereby any farmer can get rust-resistant Thatcher wheat for seed next spring. Hon. D. L. Campbell, provineial minister of agriculture, and members of the Manitoba Sced Growers' As- sociation, 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 whaat to escape from the province and at the same time he ap- pealed for co-oneration of all Mani- toba in locating present crops of Thatcher wheat and have them field inspected to insure purity of the seed.

We judge that from the sad condi- tion in which we so commonly find the hoofs of the adult animal, Instead of coming down squarely upon the ground, we commonly" find them cant- ed to one side or the other, or low and weak at the heels, or grown out long at the toes, or steep and stilty in shape and action. As the twig is inclined, so will the branch or the trunk grow and the misshapen con- dition will persist through life. When it is remembered that the leg, above the hoof, is formed of pillars superimposed one upon the other, the importance of having a level "and sound foundation should be apparent, If the hoofs, are kept perfectly 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 im- paired or destroyed. It is, there- fore, advisable to bring the colfs from the pasture once a month and after standing each of them, in turn, on a perfectly level place and view-- ing the hoofs and legs from all angles, use the rasp just enough to remove inequalities and correctly level the walls at the ground surface -s0-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 nat- urally relieves pressure there by put- ting it upon the sound part, the con- sequence being that growth becomes uneven and the leg bones above are moved out of plumb and' permanent deformity 'possibly forms.

In the hill system the, plants are set at least four by four feet apart, which permits, wth carey;the use of a single horse cultivator either way. Where land is cheaper. and the labor higher, the distance ma be increas- ed to seven by seven fee! permitting the use of a double cultivator and eliminating most of the hand hoeing, If the hedge-row system is adopt- ed, the rows may be placed six feet apart, or wider, and th plants set three feet. apart in the Yow. 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 mainten- "ance costs by a considerable amount. sadly, auditing his wife's check stubs.

Boy Scout World Census Figures for 1937 just compiled by the Inter. national Bureau, reveal a startling in. crease of 340,060, with a total mem. bership of 2,812,074.

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, son, Minett and Carling in the Jour- nal of Hygiene, publish their findings showing that the nutritive value of pasteurized milk for calves is equal to that of raw milk. There has. been considerable con- troversy for years as to the. effects of pasteurization on the nutritive va- lue of milk. The stock argument of the opponent of pasteurization, whe- ther or not he knows anything about the subject is that the process des- troys the vitamin C. It has long been considered that the content of Vita. min 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 lactation or age of the animal... The variation is due to the character of the animal's food. In this respect the grass i8 the best, hay comes next, while silage retains from 12 to 15.p.c. of the original ascorbic acid for a per fod of six months. It is calculated that on winter ration a dairy cow re- ceives ~bout 9 grams of ascorbic acid daily in the diet, and on summer pas- ture considerably more. _ Milk alone, will not supply suftic- fent 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 antl scurvy vitamin. Pasteurization causes no". apprec: fable injury to. the nutritional value ~of milk and it must be remembered that the dangers of raw milk in the transmitting of discase far outweigh AY while Wil--- of carefully controlled observations. breeds of cattle, with the stage of any minor objections to careful and efficient pasteurization, -- By John W.

Why People Keep To The Right Letter in London Times:--As the vast majority of pedestrians may be trusted. to look carefully before step- ping off the pavement into the road- way, whether they are facing the traffic or not, is it necessary to legis- by altering the long-established and natural' custom of keeping to the right? B-sed, it would seem, on the instinct of self-preservation, people have been prone always to keep to that side. While the left, and more vulnerable side of the body, was na- turally, protected by a shield, the right hand and 'side were kept clear so. as not to be hampered in drawing the sword for defense or attack, Was "there not a tendency in ancient war fare. for opposing forces to edge away to the right when approaching each other, which further illustrates the natural desire? An interesting sur- vival is to be seen in the marriage service, when, at the conclusion, tha bride walks away on her Lusband's left - side,. instead of occupying the post, of honor on his right hand, clear- ly that his right hand may ke free to defend her, if need be. The time seems almost overdue for any regu. lation to be issued, but one can only hope that if anything is done, the old custom of keeping to the right will be maintained. Working Women's Interests To Be Well Looked After fight on a nation-wide scale for leg- islation to "promote and ovatec! the interests of working women" were made by the United States Wedera- tion of Business and Profess'cral Women, in convention here. While the women prepared fo. the legislative battle for equal right with men, they also-laid plans for gain- ing, greater voice in national. state and local government. . the United States is that it 's Lased on the maintenance of the st:tus quo. If we wish to show the vest of the world that this policy is not purely a selfish one, and if the country itself is to be convinced that, in the 'I=st resort; the status quo is worth fight. ing. for, we: shall need an Imperial policy both more progressive towards the backward peoples whom we rule and more l'beral towards the nations outside the"Empire.
