It is readâ€" ily admitted that the average cow does not produce as much milk as. she is capable of giving, and many] dairymen keep one or more cows that do not even pay for their keep.â€" Cowâ€" testing shows which cows are worth , keeping in the herd and gives eviâ€" ; dence against those that should be | eliminated from the herd. ‘"The. proâ€" | gress of cow testing,‘" â€"~bulletin 58,i Dairy and Cold Storage Series, _ by A.

ELIMINATING \THE POOR CowW That agricultural wealth is increasâ€" ing every year is obvious from the fact that each year sees increased settlement and new areas made proâ€" ductive, with a consequent augmenâ€" tation in cropâ€"production.© With the settling of new territories, the peneâ€" tration of railroads, and other advanâ€" tages which follow in its wake, land paturally increases in value, numerâ€" ous farmâ€"buildings spring up, farmâ€" stock is introduced on a large scale, and more agricultural implements are needed and utilized. 000; implements at $387,079,000; and farm live stock at $1,296,602,000.

They will probably be the very first to take this matter up. They will make a schedule of household exâ€" penditures, and to a woman, adhere to it whensit‘is placed in their hands. It is the women who are going to make things count in the economic situation that is facing the country. The woman who is big enough and grand enough to take a stand as an individual, who is broad enough to declare "My home is my castle, I shall order it to suit myself, without reference to one single thing but the amount of money on which I can get thibest sort of home for my man and my\children." â€" Got Rid But as they strove and struggled, as they wrestled with the forces of naâ€" _ ture, and as they succeeded in taking more and more from her jealous hand, they were doing something ‘of infiniteâ€" 1y more value, i they were building | character. _ Their prosperity might be | measured in dollars and cents, small | and insignificant indeed, in compariâ€" ison as wealth is measured toâ€"day, but l they had a wealth of soul, from which ]they paid the debts entailed by their |lives, and which they bequeathed to |their children. | Many of this second generation, } grayâ€"haired and bent, were at the fair i this year. Still more of the third genâ€" ’eration were present, and it is mainly l to this third generation that the words |"Work and Prosper" are adaressed. much what labor does for a man‘s daily life, it is the strength labor supâ€" plies forâ€"the spiritual life that counts. "Work and Prosper‘" is not addressâ€" ed to any class in particular to the exâ€" clusion of some other class. It is not addressed to men r.ore than to woâ€" men. The woman who plans her caily work, who uses her brains to conquer the systematic arrangement of her home, is a far finer and nobler woâ€" man than she whose aim is to find those devices by means.of which she can escape work. The third éeneration hasâ€"foundsciâ€" ence its ready Handâ€"maid, to relieve it from the pains and labor of gaining a livelihood. The third generation has found science just as r€ady to provide means for it to play. This generation is growing too fond of riding in autoâ€" mobiles, and too slow at seeking some soul strengthening labor. It is not so What sermon do these log houses lteach? First, they speak of a people so daring that they left the known for the unknown of the Canadian wilâ€" derness. They tell of a people who faced and conquered years of hardâ€" ship and of seemingly unending toil. They recall lives that were lived out in surroundings ~the coarsést and hardest, surroundings â€"that supplied not one of the conveniences that are to be found in the modern farmhouse. They speak of an existence that had mainly for its object the grasping of a subsistence from the soil, the wrestâ€" ing of a home from the encroaching bush, the struggle to secure a mainâ€" tenance for a family of growing boys and girls. Work, these people had, and v little else they had, and their pr perity was but a comparative term Scattered â€"through the County of Peel less than three miles from Brampton, may be seen replicas of this very house.

I stood on the glorious lawn sloping to the water‘s edge from the Horticulâ€" tural Building, and listened to the serâ€" mon, the silent sermon that was being preached by two objects, on this very same text.

When the various pictures‘ were thrown on the screen in front of the grand stand at the evening performâ€" ance one saw again ‘"Work and Prosâ€" per."

The granite pillar that stands on the site of old Rouille is a hint to every man and woman who can read: Be a fortress within yourself. Be the commandant, be the garrison, be the fighting force to offstand any attack from without. Stand armed ready to repel the grim invaderâ€"idleness, and his batman, extravagance. There is another silent preacher on the lawn at the C.â€"N. E. It is the monument that stands on the site of old Fort Rouillé. In the days when Toronto the magnificent, was but a handful of French traders, the agâ€" gressiveness of the individual had not deteriorated. Every man and every woman in Canada was an individual, an outstanding individual. Canadian life has changed until society is but groups. of individuals, one group deâ€" pending upon the whims and often the fallacies of another group. "What are the Joneses doing? We must do the same." Women are going to get over that sort of thing. One class of women, the savers, are going to get the idea that they are responsible for the nonâ€" savers. That is where such organizaâ€" tions as the Women‘s Institutes are going to help the country. think of a man who had bought a car, tied up every last cent he had in it, and who when he had a breakdown a few miles from town, could not find enough money to have a garage take his car back to town for repairs.
