Easy to spoil Babies-Some Advice For Mothers.

A baby six months old should spend

at least sixteen hours in sleep, and after that. unt-il the child reaches the school age, one half of every twenty- four hours should' be devoted to sleep. Young children have not sufficilent 1lld'gn'lent to be allowed to decide for themselves' when to go to bed and what to eat. If they did, they would not need* mothers to care for them after they ,were able to walk. But thesechildren do need mothers who realize their responsibility enough to inake an effort_to ‘lsarmwbat ls best for their childfeii. It‘should` be con- sidered even more necessary for a prospective -mother to*-study how to he a mother' than it is for s, young woman to study to be a teacher or stenographer.. lThe._cere» of babies is too important to be .left to tradition and' superstition. - V ' -

As with the horesless carri- age the tractor will displace u number of horses on many farms, no doubt. but it wiili replace the poor horses, not the beet. It cannot, even if ii fulfills all the expectations of the manufacturers drive all the horses off any real farm. Every farm has work for horses that -the tractor can- not. do. Winter, with its teaming makes the horse secure. Certain farm work al'l the year increases this security. The only question is, how many horses will tractors replace- Time will tell. The tractor is likely to prove a valuable power, and, like the automobile, is here for good, but this need not "scare" any llorsemali who breeds the right kind of horses Canada is a new country. ln the ne-xt. few years thousands of new farms wllil be brought under cultiva- tion requiring more horses, for every farm must have them no matter what other power is available. There is a scarcity of horse-s in ‘Europe, which will -surely increase the demand here eventually. The United States has sent hundreds of thousands to the war zone. and demand is keen in thai country.

The heavy horse is a necessity, sl.

is the tractor. There is work for both and each will make the' other more work. Again we. say the horse will stay, but breeders must remember that the day of_ the ‘facrub" is past Breed the right kind and do not worry

Home study is perhaps the mosl

conclusive test of a. boy's seriousness of purpose. lt is only by the exer cise of his own will to study at home away from the association of a teach er, that a' boy gains that control ove: himself, that ability to do unpleasant but necesary things, that sense o‘ personal responsibility so necessary to a succesful life.

BAKED PRUNES.

Wash one pound of prunes and soak

them three or four hours in a little water. Put them in a been pot, cover with boiling water, add one scant cup of sugar, three cloves and s. stick of cinnamon, cover and 'bake slowly un `til the prunes are almost candied. Serve cold with whipped cream. _

Don’t forget that a good cream

Doll’t forget to sllelter your illu-

Ullliiflry when you are done with it. Under it tree or in a fence corner is a very poor place to leave a machine. Rusirnlld decay ruin a machine soon- el' than use.

Don’t forget that a small gasoline

engine will do small jobs more quick ly and easily than you can do them.

Dc-n't forget that an open we-ll ol

oil on any machine you use. Oil rc duces friction and friction means wear. A properly oiled machine will run longer' and easier than a poorly oiled one. Oil is cheaper than neu machinery or repairs.

Don’t forge-L that an open week oi

Don’t forget that every weed which

ls allowed to go to seed means sever- al weeds next year.

Don’t forge-t the birds. lf you will

GET HIGH AVERAGE IN HENS_

Better have a good average than a

phenomenal one; better have good sized eggs than small ones which necessarily must come from the fam- ous 200-egg layers. It is pot natural for hens to give large egg records and large- eggs. at the some time. That fact is proved by the two-year" old hen which lays fewer eggs than she does lay are of a generous size’ Strive for quality more than quanity.

_ DISEASE OF CALVES.

Scours is the most common com-

plaint of the young calf and is in- variably caused by overfeeding sour or stale milk at varied tempera- tures. Prevention is in every case batter than cure. On the first symp- toms of the disease appearing the milk ration should be immediately reduced to -half. If the trouble still gets worse give a drench of one to two ounces castor oil ill a pint of milk. Care is necessary in bringing up to a full-riltion again, which must be dons very gradually. Acouple of raw eggs will also be found useful lu checking the disease. The use of lime water, one part to three parts of m_i|k, will often prove of benefit.

cans Fon l-losses. '

A horse accustomed to hard work

and good feed- should not be ,heavily fed during a rest. Probably no grain at all, or at least a very small quan- tity should ‘be given on Sundays and other rest days.

Wash and oil the collars occasion-

ally. Two minutes work at the end of the day is sufficient to keep the sur- face of a collar clean, soft and pli-

' able. A damp sponge and a cake- of

harness soap kept in the curry comb box are the only equipment needed. Shoulder galls are due- to one of two things. , Dirty_ or ill-fitting collars. There is no excuse for either.

Water should tllways be given to

horses before and not after feeding. , lf they are allowed to drink immedi-

ately after a meal, the water is liable to wash some of the undigested food into the intestines, and produce indi- gestion or collc.

Grooming should always be attend-

ed to, Horses left ungroomed and un- dried are liable to skin ailments, Bore backs, 'collar galls, and parasi- tic affections. Chills and illness also follow in the wake where anim- als receive faulty attention in this respect. Half an hour twice s. day oil grooming is'-time well spent.-

Proper ventilation of stables is ab-

solutely necessary il lung diseases and other trouble-s are to be prevent- ed.

Many a valuable horse has -been

lost through carelessness in pastur- ing after in hard duy‘s work. The tealuster ahnuld_ fc-eil his llorse wcll and get them nicely cooled before turlllllg tllem on to pasture for the flight.

Fix things lrl the stuble so that the

llorse which is inclined tc- gllaw will have i-lomething to make him tired it he tries to get his tectli illto it. Tin ill pretty good to tack over every edge of board that is exposcil.

(ic-ids in ,horses must be broken ill

time. It is dangerous to work hors- es when they are suffering from cough and difficulty in swallowing or losis of appetite. They should ill all cases be kept in and trcuteii.

THE GOOD HORSE lS_SECURE

Quite re»ccnf_ly many farmers have

been heard to remark that tile horse was doomed as a factor in Canadian agriculture. We would not care to go so far as to give utterance to such a belief. True, the automobile. and rightly so, has replaced hundreds and hundreds oi’ light horses, but it can- not replace them all_ The farmer who rides in his- “car" in summer is mighty gilad to draw -the lines over the back of his trusty "driver" and tuck him- self c0mfost¢bi»r-in-- his high-bodied cutter when the snow is two feel deep onthe concession and piled fence high on the side lines. For win- ter country transportation the auto- mobile isn’t in' it. For the good roads in summer the horse is fast becoming s. back number. Folly it is for the man interested ln "cars" -to claim

as foolish is it for the horsemen to say that the motor has no effect upon the horse business". There is and oil- ways will be a market for cars and horses both, and both must be improv- ed as the years go by. A high-class saddle' horse, the- best of the carriage class, and the fleet-footed 'roadster will always be in demand in limited numbers for riding, driving, and show- rlng purpose-s. The point for the horsemen to rcallize is' that. nothing but highlclass stock will do. The aut- omobile has driven the cull into otlli- vion. The best is the only light horse that will meet ready sale.

DEAD GAME SPORT.

The American Horse Breeder

some time ago suggested a friendly race between the two veteranydrivers, Dr. J. 'l`. Jenkins, of Charlottetown aged 88, and E. H. Greeley, of Ells- worth, Me., 84 each of whom is still actively connected with the racing game. To encourage such an event the Cllarlotte. N. B.. County Ag- ricultufal Society has. offered a liber- al purse to -these gentlemen to com- pete for the race to take place on the lst July. on its track at St. Ste phen, N. B. Dr. Jenkins tells The ous.-dlnu »thnt,hc is suite willing to meet Mr. Greeley at St. Stephen as suggested provided the race is sche- duled for some time near the Halifax meeting so that he can go from one place to the other. The lst of July will not suit him, as there are races at home on that dats in which his

Use Only Best for Next Generation is Hog Raiser's Advice.

William Gilbert, of Alberta. writer

as follows: Durlllg tlrmes when hogs are high in price. tllere is generally the tendency tg jump illto the business too quickly and too heavily. The pur chaser is too anxious to consider thc future, .than to consider' the merits o. the stock he -is buying. One of the greatest detrirnents to the hog bus! ness aflecflvug both the breeder and the purchaser' is the buying ol' y0llIlS immature brood sows as the l'na.l0I‘ll-5 of buyers are not sufficiently insistent in demanding size and ASB- l Bhll myself numerous young sows against my better judgment at the request o_ buyers for' young che-ap stock and 1 frankly ad'mit that we breeders do noi

sows or hours.

lt takes size. age, bone and consti

tution to raise the quality of stocl which pays, and a very serious draw back is using the type of y0\lllB D03” which the majority of buyers are satis fled with. It is an injustlce_to the animal as well as to the breed to use him at live or six months old, his vitality -is checked before it is propel' ly developed, and the boar is speedily considered worthless. li’ buyers -wert more particular as to the size. age etc., we would soon find' more oi’ the high quality quick-growing kind oi hogs. _ ..

Anothcn- point in buying a hos if

that the breeder- as a rule lluptet three or four prices. You migllt asl- why is this? As a rule the avcra${ buyer will select the lowes: price only expect the some quality of liog quotel at the lligher price; while tile buyer who demands a good quality hog at r good price, generally gets satisfactior as he demands the best and is willing to pay extra for it; and the breeder will very often go out of his way ti cater to this kind' of business. Thr quality is an important factor -in flxinl the price, lt _takes money and cx~ perience to improve quality in any stock. so if the standard of the farm hog is to be improved. we have go’ to mate for size. bolle vitality. prolific breeding, easy feeding. and' then therr is money in the hog business at low prices.

.FEEDNG THE DAIRY COW FOR MOST PROFITABLE RETURNS

Dairymen who bring their cows to

the highest stage of production dur- ing winter months must aim stimulat- ing summer condl-tions. This ls more easily said than _ii'one. During late spring and early summer the dairy herd reaches the highest production, and the quality of the product is su- perior to that of other seasons. Lux-

Clover or alfalfa hay and' corn silage make ideal coarse feeds for the dairy cow. These feeds will produce al fair flow of milk with- out graiils.

All cows are not of the some tem

Deranlent. Some put the extra. feed on their backs instead of in the poll. On this account a study should be made of the requirements of the'in- dividual animal. ln the best bred herds cows vary in their.productivl~ ability, therefore to obtain the great- est profit, records should be kept of both milk and feed, and' tests madr- occasionally to ascertain if it would pay to increase or decrease the grain. The cow should have all the goofi qualify rougllage she wants but tha graln may b_e regulated by ber pril- duction_ The following feeding _stan dard', based on rations which have given excellent results in practive, is taken from Hcnry's "Feeds and Feed ing." As previously stated, a 1,000 lb cow requires .7lbs. digestible pw tein and it total of 7.925 pounds diges tlble nutrients for her maintenance' to this should be allllcd .286 pound digestible rlutrlellts, of which ,011 _poulllls uri- protein, for each. pound or three plvr i-ont. lllilk. For each pound of 3_6 per conf. milk .316 and .04i~ must be aiideil' respectively, and for 4 per rent. milk, .3¢6 pound's and .054 pounds. This would make the total nutrients required by a cow giving 50 pounds of 3.5 per cent. milk, 23.79 pounds. A rule followed by some dairy nicn is to feed about one pound br i-oucentratcs per day for each pound' or butter-fat givell the week, 'i‘hua_ a cow making 14 pounds of buttdl 'iz week would be fed 14 pounds of con ccntrutes daily in addition to tlu- roughnge she requires. When whole nlilk is null-keted. a rule is to feed one pound' of concentrates per day for

clit kinds oi' lrillti-_rial wliil-_ll are in' each follr pounds of milk produced.

According to this'a cow giving 50 pounds of lnllk per day would' reqtliro l2l,§ pounds of concentrates, mild-~ up of glnins and mill feeds. to balsncr the ration. These rules are only-all proximate. Keeping records of feril and nlilk and doing a little. expsr' ‘mentlng is the- preferable method. Eacll dairyman must study the ind! vidual cows in his herd. The feed which gives best results with one may not prove so satisfactory ,jw_ltll~a.nli- ther. Balanced lations containing thi' proper proportions of the djlffermlt nutrients can be made up from _a.gf-_cgi variety of feeds., The`refor`e,..} tgi- dal-ryman should first consider-_wh 1 he is growing on the farm and ;.ff,'n_s~ cessary purchase those con,c_snt`rat¢f which furnish nlost protein.

Of course their cows might do better if fed some concentrates, bu' in order- to be profitable, the mill: yield would have to increase suffici- ently to pay for the extra feed', which would have to be purchased on the open market.

Therefore u ration with s nutrltlv" ra'tio of 116.2 is made with silago, 40 lbs., clover hay 5lbs., oat chop Zms. barley 1lb;_ bran lib.. and oil calte 2 lbs. For a row giving 40lbs. of_mll" per day the following gives fairly good' satisfaction: silage 40 lbs., hay 10lbs_, oat straw 4lbs_. cottonsesl meal, or oil cilke meal 2lbs..,_ bran 4 lbs., oats Zllbs.. and barley-2'lbs. ' A ration with it nutritive ratio of llboiif 1:5_8 is c-ompilod with silage 30lb| alfalfa hay 12lbs_, mangels 20l‘bs., oai chop Slbs., barley meal 3‘ibs. For heavy production, about a pound' 0 oil cake per day might profitably bc ail’ded_ .
