S a comprehensive conclusion from our investigations, we have i`ound that if all the buildings in rural Ontario were rodded more than 95 per cent. of the unnunl` dtunuge to buildings by lightning would be prevented. The method by which this conclusion was arrived at wan as follows: In 1012 eighteen insurance companies in Ontario kept special records for us; from their reports we learned that out of every 7,000 unrodded buildings insured by them 37 were ` struck by lightning, while in every ` 7,000 rodded ones only two were struck by lightning. The rods pre- -vented damage in 35 cases out or an expectancy of 37, showing an em- ciency of 94.7 p.c. Since that we have determined the einciency for the years 1913, 1914 and 1915. The rt-mIll'R for the four years are as time. Port McNicol1 was honored with visit from 11 number of well-known farmers living within :1 raidius of ten miles.

Year. of Rods. 1912 94.7 1913 92.0 1914 99.8 1915 88.9 Average for four years 97.2 To apply these gures: The report of the Superintendent of Insurance shows that in 1912 the insurance paid on losses caused by lightning was $262,282. No doubt the actual loss exceeded the insurance by per- haps 1-3 or 59. If so, the actual loss was $350,000 or over. 94.7 per cent. of this equals $331,450, which represents the saving that would have been effected that year if all the buildings had been rodded. Investigations along similar lines in Iowa have shown an eiciency of 98.7 p.c. for rods in that state, based on the report of 55 mutual com- panies each year for eight years. In Michigan the efciency of lightning rods has been shown to be from 98 to 99 p.c. 'I`hnsm fpw facts. which are all mat- 99 These few facts, which ters of record in published reports, establish beyond question the conclu- sion rst given, that if all buildings in rural Ontario were rodded 95 p.c. of the annual lightning damage to buildings would be eliminated.- Prof. W.

It has been found that un- der conditions prevailing during the hot dry months of mid-summer the ewes will drop on? considerably in their milk ow. The lambs receive comparatively little nourishment and it is better for both ewe and lamb for them to be separated. When the lambs are removed from the ewes th-ey will miss little the small amount I of milk they would receive and will soon learn to depend upon pasture. They should receive the very best pasture available. Nothing ts in bett-er than a patch o_f rape sown at _ the proper times so as to be ready 'for pasture when the lambs are wean- ed. Care should be exercised in turn- ing the lambs on the fresh rape to avoid bloating and probable death. 7 If no rape is available fresh clover will give satisfactory results. In ad- dition to pasture a feed of grain once a. day will push the lambs along to 8. good nish. At no time should it be necessary to feed over one-half pound of grain per day to each lamb while _ on pasture.--J. P. Sackville, B.S.A., Ontario Agricultural College. U365 Ul. L'Iuu.B (I-l.l\J Ibehtvinlnuun The drastic regulations set forth by the Canada Food Board lately, have caused much`anxiety to many people who feel that they must now choose between either being consid- ered unpatriotic, or going without suicient food to nourish their bodies. mhiu 1': n minfalrnn idea, In their This is a. mistaken idea.

Fresh vegetables not only contain a. high percentage of water---a neces- sary requirement or our bodies--but, also, a large amount of mineral salts and acids which act as blood puriers and body regulators; they also serve to prevent too great concentration of food and thus aid in the digestive process. Dried vegetables on the oth- er hand, are rich in tissue-building material, dried peas and beans con- taining as much protein as our best cuts of beef, in addition to contain- ing a large percentage of starch. While fruits are usually noted ing large percentage or starcu. While fruits are usually more for their avor, mineral mat- ter and water than for anything else, still we must not forget that bananas. dates, gs, raisins and prunes are high in food value, some containing as high as 60 p.c. of sugar. For this reason they are a valuable substi- tute tor cane sugar. They might well be given to children in place of can- dy, and when served in combination with puddings, or salads, reduce the Imount of sugar needed and add much to the value of the dish. vmsnmhinu nn fruits: should form much to the value 01: me man. Vegetables and fruits should form a large part of the diet during the winter as well as the summer months, and it is therefore to our advantage to see that they are can- ned ordried at the proper time for future use.

He was born in 3. dyer's humble home, at Nizhni-Now gorod, as Alexei Maximovich Pesh- kov, and was brought up as an or- phan by his maternal grandfather, 9. religious miser. He became a. tramp and helper to a. cook on a. Volga boat. He baked bread in a noisome cellar. i He wandered with the vagabonds whose chronicler he was to become. He trudged through the Caucaui. labored in railway yards, and herded with the erce, half-tamed Eypsleg` and Tartars of his stories. He became so much at home with these wastrels of civilization that he felt uneasy and estranged among intelligent peo- ple." Yet he secretly longed for goodness and beauty. He had not yet, however, reached the point where he could lay his hand on the social enemy and say: I have you nailed down. You shall no longer blind me to the truth! After he be- gan the delivery of his message he had still to learn, how to analyze aright, to discover causes and sepa- rate them from effects.

The young men of the better class went forth to live with the peasantry, to organize them into secret revolutionary groups known as "The Will of the People. But Siberia swallowed hundreds of the young reformers, and the doors of the prisons of Schlusselberg and SS. Peter and Paul were ung wide open to admit hundreds more. Gorky, himself or the people, helped Rus- sia, as time went on, to see the faces of the masses lled with courage and glowing with strength. With truer views and the power of self-expres- sion called to his aid, he changed as conditions changed. He joined the Social Democratic Party in a valiant effort to remedy the social order, but his reforming zeal brought him to the Russian reformers usual rate, the prison. In 1905 he appeared in America to collect money for the revolutionary cause. Returning to Europe, he lived on the island of Capri in virtual exil-e until 1916, when he returned to Russia.

He sees the com- ing of a. new order, when th-e people will have won their rights and shak- en themselves free from social dis- abilities. His later work is perhaps too doctrinaire even for Russians. A philosopher and an artist, his art has sufered through his Socialism. Rus- sians there are who would rather ex- change his newer gospel for his bi- zarre characters ot the underworld, and the cross sections of Russian civilization, peculiarly his own, with which they were not familiar until he introduced them. But the sub- merged tolk hav-e nothing in com- men with the mission of the Gorky of the hour. (lirectlon. ' The hydro current was turned to the lumps on the streets at Allis- ton on June 1-Lth.
