| Th The different sheep breeds and LMC!] wgation to wool grades were discussed at some length at the annual meeting of the Ontario Sheep Breeders‘ Asâ€" sociation, and the general idea seemâ€" ed to be in favor of the finer wooled breeds in view of the existing aeâ€" mand in the, textile trade. Geo. A. Telford of Perth, in his address as president, pointed. to the change. in demand in favor of the finer grades since the conclusion of the war when the manufacture of army supplies of woollen clothing and blankets ceased almost entirely. He advised producâ€" tion of the finer wools on a larger scale, and strongly advocated the breeding of pureâ€"bred sheep rather than grades in Ontario. The members were practically unâ€" animous in their expression of approâ€" ‘val of stringent legislation for control of the dog nuisance, and a suggesâ€" tion by one member that the Provinâ€" elal Government be asked to grant €xemption in the case of sheep dogs was voted down by a large majority. The motion in favor of a more strinâ€" gent Act to prevent adulterdtion of feeds and of having the Department of Agriculture administer the Act, which had been adopted by all the other live stock associations where presented, was animously adopted by the Ontario sheep breeders. The secretary gave a review of .the coâ€"operative handling and sale of wool in Ontario, showing that the work accomplished had had great effect in securing better prices for the wool growers who disposed of their wool in this manner, than were received by those who disposed of their clip priâ€" vately. Proper care Oof L‘ceces ui ell20. 000 and expert grading done at the central station at Guelph had been responâ€" ‘sible largely for the higher prices obâ€" tained. _ In discussion of the Feed Adulteraâ€" tion Act. D, Sutherland, M.P., South Oxford, stated that there now exists means of providing satisfaction to farâ€" mers with regard to the analysis of feed purchased, in the arrangement whereby samples are analyzed free if sent to Ottawa, and if these samples are found adulterated with harmful weed seeds the manufacturer is liable to prosecution. . Mr. Hoadley, M. P. P., Okatoke, said that the law was satisfactory, but its administration anything but satisfactory. AN INGERSOLL HOLSTEIN HANGS UP NEW RECORD letin A new champion in the fourâ€"yearâ€" old class of the Record of Performâ€" ance has just been reported.

As écfive-yea.r old she produced in the Record of Performance test 1,108.175 lbs. butter and 25,598 lbs. milk, standâ€" ing third in butter production amon£ all Canadian Holsteins in this test. The Snow family shows splendid type as well as production, and is a eredit to Mr. Rivers, who has bred all its members. Several Snow heifers have also made excellent official and semiâ€" official records and are very promisâ€" ing for ;uture honors.â€"Friesian Bulâ€" & The annual meeting of the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club was held last week in Toronto.

The Imperial Order of the Daughâ€" ters of the Empire has taken a keen interest in the question of the choice of a national flower for Canada more especially as it relates to the selecâ€" tion of a flower for planting on the graves of Canadian dead in France and Flanders. The following comâ€" munication from the Imperial War Graves Commussion addressed to the Overseas Club and‘ Patriotic League at Aydwych, London, Eng]a.nd, which has reached The Gazette through the kindness of Professor R. B. Thompâ€" son, of Toronto University, indicates that preference is shown by the Imâ€" perial War Graves Commission for the Cornus Canadensis popularly known as Dwarf Cornel or Partridge Berry. ‘"‘The Imperial War Graves Comâ€" mission acept the kind offer of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire to. supply seeds of the Cornus Canadensis, for planting â€" in cemeteries in which members of the Overseas Military Forces of Canada, fallen in the war, are burjed. The national Association of Coâ€"opâ€" erative Live Stock Shipping Associaâ€" tions will probably be represented by a lecturer whose aim will be to further the work of state and national organiâ€" zation. The Cornus Canadensis is a beautiâ€" ful flower, and most appropriate for planting over the graves of Canadians. The Commission would be able to raise plants from seeds in their nursâ€" eries in France. All consignments of seeds should be forwarded to the above address, and addressed to the Secretary (Works), Imperial War Graves Commission". A fee of $10 is to be imposed o Jersey ‘cattle imported from the Chan nel Islands, so as to make possible r«. exportation of these cattle to the Unit ed States. C. F. Bailey addressed / the club members on the Royal Winter Sshow He said that of the $400,000 which was to be raised by the live stock men $300,000 was already, in sight, and there would be no difficulty in raisâ€" ing the balance. ‘"This building," he said, "will have a capacity of 700 horâ€" ses, 1,600 cattle, 900 hogs, 900 sheep and about 10,000 poultry. In addition there will be sufficient room for the display of dairy products and utenâ€" sils and floral displays. There will be diningâ€"room accommodation and provision for the holding of public meetings. Good results are already beginning to apear from the nationâ€"wide orgaâ€" nization of coâ€"operative live~. stock marketing associations in the United States. They propose to hold short courses for local association managers at each one of the large live stock terminal markets. The federal bureau of markets state agricultural colleges and other public and private interests connected with the live stock industry will be asked to furnish speakers and demonstrators. The courses suggestâ€" ed are as follows: 1. Market Grading (a) Grading on the hoof. (b) Follow up at packing house to observe how grades kill out. (c) Relation of grading to coâ€"operaâ€" tive shipment. S THE DWARF CORNEL It may be added that Miss Mary E.

Scores of these markets have been establishâ€" ed along the roadside in many of the counties within a radius of about 25 miles from cities such as Toronto, Hamilton, St. Catharines, Brantford, London, etc. City folks have been able to motor out to these places and purâ€" chase fresh farm produce every week, besides enjoying the pure air and scenery of the country. wWAYSIDE MARKETS In this connection Mr. G. A. Hodgâ€" son, President of the Ontario Motor League, has received a communicaâ€" tion from the Unionville. Wayside Market Community, stating that this market place, which is situated a few niles from Toronto, has been most successful, and city motorists _ have taken advantage of buying their butâ€" ter, eggs, vegetables and other farm products direct from â€" the producer. Two years ago, Mr. Hodgson addresâ€" sed a gathering of the farmers in that district and outlined a system which might be followed in establishing their proposed wayside market. The sugâ€" gestions were at once acted upon with the ‘result that the farmers in that section have materially benefited from the patronage of city dwellers. In most cases the outward appearâ€" ance of the animal bears no relation to the degree of infection. The diâ€" sease frequently develops so slowly that in some cases it may be months, or even longer, before any symptoms are shown; therefore be on the safe side and have your herd tested.â€"U. S. Department of &@griculture. The word "economical" was applied a decade ago, to a person who was exceedingly careful about expendiâ€" tures, and about the use and abuse of purchased goods and articles. The economical man or woman was parâ€" ticular about laying out his or her money so as to secure the most for the outlay. There was eguafl care exâ€" ercised that the purchase be used for the longest possible time with the least possible wear and tear. And the culmination of all this foresight and taking thought was in putting the remains of the purchase to the best possible use in some other capacity. Ten years ago, the term was apâ€" plied to a class ofâ€" men and women to which each of us hoped most deâ€" voutly we did not belong. To be econâ€" omical in this sense was considered one of the things nice people could not be. This ~‘"cityâ€"toâ€"farm" idea is . also working well in many other districts, and with the improvement of the highways the high cost of living will undoubtedly be lowered by the operaâ€" tion of these roadside country markâ€" ets. graze Tuberculosis may beâ€"introduced inâ€" to x healthy herd by any of the folâ€" lowing means: Addition, of an animal that is afâ€" fected with the disease.

Exâ€" actly that.. The people who are really bconomical:. not mean, or tight, or economical, not mean, or tight, . of close or stingy, according to the old use of the word, manage to get along very nicely, and while regarding the high and still rising cost of. living, meet it eye to eye, and calmly say: "Gome on you old H.C. of/L., try a bout with us!" The first step in being economical, whether in business or in the houseâ€" hold, but especially in the latter is the consideration of a budget. That looks formidable, but it is simply this: Let the lady sit down, with a piece of paper and a pencil and set down first of all her income from all sources. This may consist of the weekly sums contributed by her husband and memâ€" bers of her family. It may consist of payments of interest on bonds _ or mortgages, or it may be the prosaic sums paid weekly by boarders. Under the total of this sum, let her set down the amounts that must go out weekly as she now runs her houseâ€" hold, to the grocer, the butcher, the baker, for heat, light and water, for insurance, for clothing, for boots and shoes, and so on, through the list of the real necessities for the daily and weekly life of the home. Supposing the two sums coincide. Then she is not economical. She is spending too much. For there must be a margin for the unexpected. And a ten per cent. margin for the unexâ€" pected is but a very small one. But in all probability you will ery out at the suggestion of working. All the world is turned against the idea of work toâ€"day. Everyone is looking for the realization of an ideal life from which work shall be eliminated. Yet the great minds of the day have graspâ€" ed the greatness of the crisis that faces mankind and they®are crying aloud that work and only work can save the world. It is so much easier to jog along in the old rut, too. Far easier to take the receiver down and listen to the butcher telling you that he will send you the regular sirloin steak, than to try to make him understand the sort of brisker cut you want, and then cooking the latter when it comes, watching the greasy spatters spoiling the surface of your immaculate range. You have not experimented enough with a piece of brisket to know that you can brown it in your double roastâ€" ing pan, place it in the oven overnight and take out a piece of meat in the morning with gravy and dripping that King George would relish. Workers are Ssavers. No one who works and creates according to a preâ€" conceived plan, even in so small a matter as the proper cooking of a piece of meat, is going to â€" tolerate: wastage. And the natural opposite of wasting is »saving. No woman â€" can serve two masters, either she must be a waster or a saver. Those women who, through the study of economical methods of runâ€" ning their households, whose budgets are flexible only to the degree of safeâ€" ty, they are the workers, the savers. It is upon their shoulders that the burden of keeping the world safe for democracy is resting. C. P.R. IN THE WAR The figures revised to. the end of January regarding C. P. R. employees who enlisted and have been given emâ€" ployment on their return from overâ€" seas, are as follows: Total reBorted as joining the army, 10,931; dead, 1,063; wounded, 2,050; reâ€"employed in the service, 6,586; other soldiers given employment 8,728; total soldiers given . employâ€" ment to date, 15,314. s Perhaps you have to start in and educate yourself. Are you looking forward to the spring cleaning and saying to yourself, "We simply must have a new rug for the parlor! And that chiffonier in Jim‘s room makes me sick ‘when I think of the one I saw, etc., etc, And really, you know, I can‘t see a suit I would wear under eighty dollars." You know how you commune with yourself, wondering at the same time how you are going to carry out all your plans on the inâ€" come you have. â€" Supposing the sum of the expendiâ€" tures excbeds the income. Now it is of no use to blame the H. C. of livâ€" ing.. It is of no use to deride the profiteers, or to find a scapeâ€"goat on the outside.,The mirror will reveal the guilty party. Right at this point is where the axe must be taken to the budget. Cut out sirloin steak and substitute boiling and stewing meat. Cut out baker‘s cakes and pies and substitute plain home made biscuits, scones and bran fruit loaf. Cut out twelve and fifteen dollar shoes and substitute plainer, but more serviceable footwear at half or less than haif the price. ‘*You, madam homemaker and housekeeper, educated them to their present tastes, didn‘t you? Then it would be a splendid achievement on your part to uneducate them, as it were, on that line, and educate them on the new one.
