Their dog ran at the animal, yapping, but came back yelping when the deer turned on it. "Shoo, get out of here!‘ yelled the two boys. But the deer lookâ€" ed at them redâ€"eyed, pawed the snow, and charged. The boys ran and clambered to the roof of the boiler house. Swick got inside, where it seemed safer.

Over the diaâ€" phragm he flowed a thin stream of milk while he made it vibrate very strongly at different rates, the lowest being of 360 cycles a second, the highest of 3000 cycles a second. The effect was that milk which normally formed a hard curd, difâ€" ficult to digest, after treatment formed the soft and easily digestâ€" ed curd which is necessary for baâ€" bies and people with weak stomâ€" aC Buck Deer Trees Three At Sawmill If a loud enough noise is made while it is taking milk, a baby will digest it more easily, it was reported at the American Dairy Science Association.

Electrical engineers from every part of the province were present and heard Mr. Hogg‘s review of the prospects before the electrical industry for the coming year. U. 8.

As a result of the menace from dogs there has been a reduction of 75 per cent. in the number of sheep raised in one district in which the sheep are regarded as the best payâ€" ing class of livestock. Many sheep breeders in Canada are of the opinion that it is practicâ€" ally impossible to raise sheep profâ€" itably on account of the large numâ€" ber of dogs which are allowed to run at large. Drury Asks Right To ‘Shoo‘ Hunters DOGS AND SHEEP There are several obvious ~redâ€" sons why sheepâ€"raising has not so great an appeal for the Canadian farmer as the raising of swine. One reason was stressed recently by the department of agriculture. It is the menace of the prowling dog. Possibly some day our politicians will discover that what the people are longing for in public men who will keep closely in touch with pubâ€" lic feeling and public interests â€" not merely public as.centres about party questions, but public feeling towards matters that have no refâ€" erence to party politics whatever. â€" Guelph Mercury.

Windsor and Port Hope had the next largest representation among the group of experts, each of them claiming three winners. 31 Nations Plan Showing At Fair The only woman among the 23 expert winners was Miss M. J. S. Aldham of the Ormond Marksmen Club of Ormond. She not only placed fourth in scoring among the men but is the only woman in the province of Ontario to have captured this coveted prize which means so much to the outstandâ€" ing shooter. The honour of the highest inâ€" dividual score went to the wellâ€" known Ontario rifleman, Ellwood Epps of the Clinton Rifle Club of Clinton while the largest numâ€" ber of expert awards was won by shooters from Toronto. It requires outsianding marksâ€" manship to post a score better than 5860 points out of a posâ€" sible 6000 in this competition in which each marksman must shoot 20 targets from each of the standâ€" ing, sitting and prone positions. To gain the expert shield the shooter must shoot twenty posâ€" sibles, that is a perfect score, in the prone position, and twen‘y 98‘s or better in the kneeling or sitting position, and twenty 95‘s or betier in the standing offhand stance. This is no easy job under the best of cireunmistances, yet all 23 Ontario marksmen shot above 5900 in the competition and the highest scorer only dropped 53 points to end with 5947 out of a possible 6000. ‘ Only a small number of expert rifle shooters in Canada have ever accomplished the feat of scoring the required number of points :o attain _ the â€" coveted _ Dominion Marksmen Expert Shield Award, but Ontario can boast having 23 crack riflemen who have eapturâ€" ed this prized award in the last year.
