Luckily Judith was not like her in that re- spect. "I cannot see the use of offending people," she was in the habit of say- ing. "If you don't like them, why for heaven's sake leave them alone, but mother always thinks that nobody can judge her except by her own standards." As a matter of fact, it annoyed Lady Olaucourt, who bad a sense of the proportions, seeing a woman who had no need to have her parties done for her, making use of someone else "He Is the â€" 'the Firm' don't you know," she said smiling, "ray hus- band's partner. The mines are all his; oh, surely you must have heard of him; the mant who cornered the diamond mines In South Africa?" "If he Is your husband's partner of course I have," if you mean Lleb and Oolling, why of course. I often hear about them from LorcT Eustace Trent." "Unfortunately my husband and he don't get on very well. It is an old story. It began at the time they start- ed the Elfeubein Mine.

Someliines I remind him that they had dined at the Olaucourts, Mrs. Oolling had asked Lady Judith In an undertone If she could come to lun- cheon the next day to meet Mr. Lieb, and I-ady Olaucourt, coached by Jud- ith, had told Mr. Oolling, with an in- solence wiilch was inspired by her dislike of the man, that the whole success of his party depended on the presence of Mr. Lieb, which aston- ished him not a little, for his pose had been to look down upon Lleb. "We've all heard such stories about him, that of course, we are dying to know him," she told Mr. Oolling, for when Lady Olaucourt undertook to do a thing she not only did it thoroughly, but generally overdid it a little bit. "Evidently," she thought. "Judith means to marry him." Under ordin- ary circumstances the Idea would have disgusted her, but she was beginning to think that It was a case of anyone now, and she was growing weary of chaperoning Judith. She had reached an age when she liked occasionally to go to bed early, and to entertain cronies of her own, en petit comite. The next day Juditli found herSelf at last face to face with the African millionaire, her hand in his. As Mrs. Coiling uttered the words: "Mr. Lleb this is Lady Judith Roach," some words of Swinburne, (for Lady Judith had Inherited her father's taste for books, and read in- telligently), leaped to her mind: The third great wave ' That never a swimmer shall cross or climb. Ypb, it seemed as it the man were the third great wave in her matri- monial sea. only she was determined not to let it submerge her this time. She believed in luck, and specially in Ill-luck.

That the loss from tuberculosis in swine is increasing in Canada is showu by the following table, re- cently published by Dr. Torrance, Veterinary Director-General. The figui^es were obtained from the ab- attoirs under the Health of Ani- mals Branch, where a careful re- cord of all cases of tuberculosis in swine is kept. They show the per- centage of swine affected with tu- berculosis for the years named : Year. 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 Percent. . 8.90 11.60 12.69 13.41 13.72 In some parts of Canada the per- centage is higher than in others, *s for instance : Per- Per- Per- Per- Per- cent, cent. cent. cent, cent 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 Essex Co. 16.28 2L41 21.49 26.72 28.00 Kent Co. 24.57 26.31 25.45 30.27 32.00 Ont Prov. 10.46 13.86 14.84 16.05 19.15 While these figures show that for the whole Dominion in 1914 nearly every seventh hog was affected with tuberculosis, and for Ontario near- ly every fifth hoR, it does not mean that all the animals affected are un- fit fur fo<jd. Generally, the disease was found to be in its early stages and confined to one or two glands. Nevertheless, increasing preval- ence of tuberculosis calls for at- tention.

Thi.s trouble, commonly called colt distemper, affects horses, but rarely mules and donkeys. It is such an infectious disease that nearly ail horses contrtfct it when colts, and usually remain imniiine to future exposures. The cause is a very small organism or germ, which enters the system when a healthy colt conies in contact with a diseased one, or when fed and watered in infected vessels. The seat of trouble is largely restricteti to the respiratory organs. Tile animal eats little, and doe; not care to take much exercise. ,\ little watery discharge frequently appears from the eyes, and about the same time a watery discharge from the nostrils, which soon be comes thicker and yeiloTver in col- or Usually the glands between th.» hiwcr jawbones become enlarge^! and undergo suppuration, with a rupture of thoni and free discharge of pus.

Protect Hawks and Owls. In some parts field liiice and i other small rodents cause consider- \ a/ble damage to grain and forage crops, and young orchards have to be protected against them. The chief enemies of these rodents are the hawks and owls, and yet thes'.- birds are m&st persistently perse- cuted. Thanks to the various agri- cultural colleges, farmers are be- ' coming more enlightened and there- fore better farmers. It is estimated that each hawk or owl kills an average of a thousand mice a year, a saving of at least | twenty dollars to the fanner who.ne property it selects for its residence.
