Here is an interesting item prepared by the Milk Utilization Service of the Dominion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch: “Is cheese eaten for its flavor or for its food value?" The low per capita consumption of cheese in Can- ada clearly indicates that the majority of people do not recognize it as a muscle-building food in concentrated form, but consider it merely as a con- diment or garnish. It is interesting to note that one pound of cheese supplies almost as much protein and fat as one gallon of mill: and, in addition, has a high calcium, phosphorus and vitamine content The muscle building foods at limited in number, and, since it is nec- essary that the diet contain a percen- “tageot this type of food. cheese should ’be more extensively used, particularly fata timewhenheaithandatreng'th {must be maintained an a lowmd food John Wilberforce Hobbs, who has Just been made a director of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, is a typical Canadian and equally typical of business success. his new directorship be- ing added to a series of executive connections with some of the most important business and tin- ancial concerns in the Dominion.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE This is the time of the year when it becomes important to the farmer to know fairly accurately the quantities of grain he has available for seed or other use. A rule of thumb for deter- mining the quantity of grain in a bin, which proves very reliable, is supplied by the Dviision of Field Husbandry of the Dominion Experimental Farms. To estimate the amount of grain in a bin multiply the length by the width, by the height of the grain in the bin to determine te capacity in cubic feet and then divide this sum by 1%, which will give the contents in bushels. Care must be taken to see that the grain is lev- elled off to ensure accurate measure- ment. The Review of the Live Stock Mar- ketand Meat Trade for 1931, just issued by the Markets Intelligence Service of the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture states: “The commercial meat animals in- dustry weathered the year much bet- ter than any other major branch of farm industry. Indeed saleable live stock and with this of course, we must include poultry, was to its possessor the saving factor in the year’s business on the farm.

It: origin was Emir e1 Baagh, which is Av- ablc for Lord of the Sea. The term ‘captain’ comes to us direct from the Latin caput, meaning head. The coxswaln was originally the man who pulled the afteroar of the cap- tain’s boat then known as the cock- boat. Cockboat itself is a corruption of the word coracle a small boat used for Commodore is nothing more than the Italian Commendatore. or commander. Frequently we hear about “Davey Jones.” There was, of course, no such person, but should you speak of Duffy Jonah’s locker you have the original phrase. Duffy ts the West Indian negro term for the spirit of Jonah. The term “dog watch” is a corruption of dodge watch, the dodge being an ar- rangement to prevent men being on du- ty every day at the same hours.

He holds that most peOple do not think “even ten minutes a day.” This is analogous to a thought of Montaigne’s: “The majority of people are too lazy to attack a problem with more than a charge or two." Of course, there are subjects too vast for even studious minds to master. Taine stud- ied human society in the attempt to arrive at some acceptable principle of government. At the end of twenty years of such study he said he had found only one principleâ€"that society is a vast and complicated thingâ€"Exchange.
