The observation is offered that as the stand ard of quality of milk rises.foreign milk and milk products of unknown clean» liness could very well be excluded. The cost of producing clean milk from tested herds is necessarily higher than for ordinary or average farm milk. The Empire Marketing Board have been studying this progem and in their .recent report on iry research Many are the stories told of pet seals. Here is one related in The Book of Animals: A boy living on one of the wilder parts or our northern coasts had a baby seal given to him by some fish- ermen. It was about a fortnight old, 'and in a few weeks it was perfectly tame; followed him about. ate from his hand. and showed evident pleasure .whenever its master drew near. It was fond of heat. and would lie for hours at the kitchen fire. It would nestle close to the dogs, who soon got used to their strange new companion. But when the winter came on the supply of fish grew scarce. for the boats were often unable to put out. So the seal had to go short and soon milk had to be given it instead. But it drank so much that the boy’s parents decided that the animal could not be kept any longer. So he and a friend rowed'out a couple of miles from shore. one day, and gently dropped the seal overboard. But instead of 'frisking with delight and diving out of sight. the poor animal showed great distress at being left. It swam after the boat with cries so piti- ful that at last the, rowers stOpped pulling~and lifted the creature in, and took it home once more. Of course it became a greater favorite than ever, and there was no more .talk'of “getting rid of it.” 1 The distance covered by this long drive was so unbelievable that a group of Boston and New York writers got a tape line and measured it. From the home plate to the point where the ball struck was exactly 508 feet. That distance is givenâ€"in some re- cords,obut the personal recollection is that it 'was even longer In any event, it was undoubtedly the longest drive ever made with a baseball bat.
