pl_ies-`sent from (latiada and partly by pureliases from tli'é'“'i_itiirls" of the /Xssociation. During the year 1916 among the extra comforts provided \vere 280,000 pairs socks, 12,500 flannel shirts; 1,600 gauze shirts; 4,500 mufflers besides numerous other articles of use oui the battlefield. _

About 11,000 bales of an average weight of 56

pounds of coinforis of variotis kinds werc sent by thc

/\ss0t-iation to the different units at the front exclu- sive of parcels forwarded by mail. in addition, the Associatidn has provided a grainaphonc to practically every large intit at the front, a portable eincmatograpli to each brigade, a baseball outfit to each unit, besides other athletic material and articles for recreation pur-

poses.

In their work the .\ssociation has been greatly as-

sisted by the Dominion Branch, of whieli Mrs.

The balance at the present time has been much reduced owing to heavy expenditures during the win- _te-r_for 'extra comforts and to obligations in connec-

tion with the extension of the hospital. 'l`here is no,

_i ;;.iThei_late justin McCarthy, one ol' 'the most pro- found political observers of his time, used to say that as applied to the parties in Britain, the names Conser- vative and Liberal were frequently misleading; that ilfwas often the Liberal party that stood for reaction, the Conservative party for reform. If the author of the "llistory of Our Own Times" could have studied Cnitadian pftrliamentary records during the past iiventy years, how much more' appropriately could he have applied the same observation to the political par- --ties over here. We are reminded of this by something Mita( appeared the other day in the Toronto Globe.

.'\ bulletin recently issued by the Dairy Division of

the Doininion Departincut of Agriculture directs at- tention to the loss caused through keeping unprofi- table cows. lt instances the case of a herd of eighteen cows iu_()ntario which gave ati average yield of 7.494 pounds of milk, 3.4 test and 259 pounds of fat. The individual tests varied from 3`to 4.3 per cent of fat. (hte cow gave lo,42o pounds of milk, another”seven years old gave only 6,290 pounds, a difference of 4,000 pounds. One cow eigliteen years old gave 270 pounds of fat while a t\vo'year old gave 237 pptinds. The highest yield of fat was 337 pounds from a seven year old; another seven year old gave 205 pounds.

These dill'erences are to be found in every herd.

\\-'hen they are discovered by the only method there is, namely, the individual test, the prudent farmer dis- penses with thc ttnprolitable boarders that eat more than they pay for. \Vhcre there is no individual test it is easily possible to have one or more cows that Ut-.fi all_ the 'profit the best cows are yielding.

In these days of expensive feeds the unprofitable

cow is ayseriotis source of loss. _There is only one rei- medy _foi°_."ii, find out the unprofitable ones and beef them. `Cbod_ cqivs.t€a-l1_;'b`c'.fed‘l1t a profil; poor ones are :i`se_riou.s los‘s_:_tn¢_l an unpardonablc waste under present c`t.in_ditions._`;
