ii THE SHIIIII EIIIIIISE

At the Agricultural Hall yesterday;

afternoon the students of tho Short Course were given ample opportunity

for judging dairy cattle, a number of; classes of Ayrshires being shown for ‘ judging purposes. The cattle were of very high quality coming from the herds of Messrs. McRae and Sim- , mons. After a. thorough inspection of 1 the cattle the students were afforded ' an opportunity of giving their plac- ings and their reasons for such. Prof. Robertson. who was present, then, went over the animals giving their correct standing, and showed numer- ous polnts of value in judging to the students. Prof;=Reid went over the class more minutely substantiating Prof. Rcbertson's decision. Mr. Mc- Itae's "Milkmaid 7th" was then brought into the' ring and Prof. Reid

showed fa-pyernber-ot~»olnts about this valuablé an mal in form, strength and quality, which indicated high produc- ing capacity. He pointed out the pos- sibility of improvement of animals, no matter how good they might be. as was shown by the fact that Milkmaid's ` daughters were going to he better than herself. This 'should encourage breed- crs to greater endeavours. The se- cond class of Ayrshircs was then brought in and gone over, Prof. Reid giving the final decision, after the stu- dents had judgcd them, advancing lu- cid reasons for such. Tho last class was two year old heifcrs, which were cxcellent representatives oi' the breed, one being reserve champion ut St. John Exhibition last fail. Prof. Reid going over the animals answered many

questions put by thc students.

A couple of Ayrshire bulls were

taken in for thc purpose of showing the type which should be looked for; in a good dairy sire. Mr. Reid men- tioned a number of points which ap- ply to the bull as well as the cow. One , should look for greater weight audi better muscular development, a good_ neck ami head, heavier shoulders, und 1 all fore paris showing masculinity

from shoulders hack These should bc the same as in the cow, a strong back und loin, with a deep barrel and a long, wide, full quarter, with thighs showing good muscle. The indivi- duals shown were both excellent ani- mals, coming from strains noted for high production. 1 In ull' the afternoon proved to be highly interesting and instructive. and | the students by the knowledge gained . in the judging of dairy cultic, should be in a far better position when they return to their homes to select and improve their herds for dairy pur- poses.

Professor Ross took up the first of n

series of lectures on the “Feeding of the Stock” with the students oftlie Short Course in the forenoon. I-le be- BBD by Sibling that .plants were the mX~ BOIDEIISED ADS.

it was necessary to know something of the growth and structure of plants in order to understand theln ns the food of animals.

“The plant” he said, “gets part of

its food from the soil and part from the air. _The former is taken in through the roots and dissolved in water and meets the former in the leaves. The leaves are full of 'fac- tories' for 'manufacturing' plant food out of this raw material and the lar- ger the green leaf on any plant the more food ,ls being 'manufactured.’ The raw material out of which plant food is made are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, potassium, sulphur, magnesium, iron,.etc. The plant can- not convert one of those into another; all it can do is to group them together and huihi up compounds. Some of the compounds that plants build up are known by the common names ol' starches, sugars and fats, which we include in the group name of carbo- hydrates, because they are carbon mid water chemically combined. An- other group that is built up is called the protcid group.”

Professor Ross explained the mean-

ing of these terms and gave familiar examples of each. “For instance, the chief constituent of lean meat is pro- tein; in fact, icuii meat is almost wholly protein, which is one of the proteid groups. Now plants, us l sintcd, gather material out of the soil und build up compounds. Animals eat. the plants, break up some oi' these compounds and recornbiuc them in a more complex way. The plant cnn- not change one element into uuothcr nor can thc animal. All t.lie uninutl can do is to break them up and rc- comblne them. We start now with plants as the food of animals. Just as plants can only make use of sol- uble materials, so it is with animals. This barley, this hay, whicltl hold in my hand must be made soluble before it is of usc to the animal. The animal chews it to cut it. up as finel_v as pos- sible, in order that the juices which are excreted from the various glands muy act tipou it, and it is these juices that render all kinds of food soluble. The soluble or digested parts then pass into thc blood and are taken from the blood to build up the animal. Un- solublc or uudigested food is wasted. in fact it is worse than wasted. It is thc cause of most of the diseases which affect. animals.

“’l`he next question is wlint-does

the animal do with the food it di- gests? I iueniioncd this lust. night und I think it will do t'or me to make the statement without elulu>ruting lt. The cow requires part of the i'ood to keep her \vurn1, purt of the food to repair tho wear und tear of the body and the remainder, if’ there is any re- mainder, gocs to the production of milk or of beef. You will sec now when wc mention food we mention something that is very complex, made up, as the chemist. would say, of cor- bo-hydrates, protcids und other sub- stances. Now the question is: What part do each of thcso play in thc nul- mal economy? Well that shall be the subject of my next talk and l will be glad to have any questions from _von on whut I have already said." As no questions were asked the class wns dismissed.

This morning feed judging will be

continued till 11 o'clock. From li till 12 Professor Reid will lecture on live stock. In the afternoon Guernseys will be judged and at 4 o’clock there will be a lecture on Field Crops. ln the evening at 7 o'clock Professor Ross will address the stud_cr_tls.

Lords met to-day, a mouth earlier than the House of Commons, chiefly to hear from Lord Kitchener a reveiw of the -military operations for the six weeks since Parliament was prorogued. While the speech of the Secretary for War contained nothing of a sensa- tional character, and little that is not already known, it was listened to with rapt attention by a distinguished gathering or peers and pceresses, members ot' the llousc of t‘ommons and public mon.

Lord _Kitchener read his speech

Of the army which comes directly

under his command, the War Secre- tary told of a surprise reverse suffered by the Indians at Givenchy on Dec. 20, when they lost' a trench, which they afterwards regained, and he added, "the British line thus resumed since then has been entirely main-4 tn.ined.”

LONDON, Jan. 6.-War Sesretary

Kitchener seized the occasion this af- ternoon at a meeting of the House oi' Lords to inform the nation of the pro- gress of the war and of the military situation, so far as military exigencies permitted. The House of Lords had 5|-eassembled for a brief session. Ad- dressing lt. Lord Kitchener said: I. “During the month of December the Allied forces made progress at vari- ous points, but the tide of battle ebbed and flowed with varying success. in spite of unfavorable weather the French army matic noteworthy pro- gress to the East. of ltheims in South- ern Alsace. Notwithstanding the transfer of German troops to the East- ern theatre of war, they left sufficient strength to hold their trenches in the West. Germauoperations in Poland suffered a severe check and it is evi- dent that they realize the infinite dif- ficulty ot' winter operations in Russia. One of the brightest spots in the mili- tary operations during December has been the extraordinary achievements of the gallant Servian army. _Last night we received news" Lord Kit- chener declared, “of a Russian victory

operations. The much talked of ad- vance of Turkish forces against Egypt up to the present has not materialized. The situation in South Africa has un- dergone a most welcome change, Gen- eral Botha. having handled the military situation there in a masterly manner and stamped out the rebellion. ’l‘he result has given us great confidence in the future success of any opera- tions he may undertake."

Lord Kitchener praised the coolness

and courage of the people oi' Scar- borough, Whitby and Hartlepool dur- ing the recent German raid on the East coast, and remarked that “no military advantage can be gained by these wanton attacks."

The homeholders’ canvass thus far

has resulted in the registration of 218,000 men who are willing to servo lf called upon, said the War Secretary.

He continued: "The great advan-

tages which Germany enjoyed by rea- son of her superiority of numbers and war preparations have certainly dim- inished while the Allies daily are in- creasing their resources in such a way as to enable them to prosecute the war to a triumphant end."

In the course of his address Lord

Kitchener paid a distinct tribute to the Canadians, referring to the Prin- cess Patricia Reglment as "the fine Canadian regiment."

SIIIAIAARY 0F TIIE SITUATION

(Special to the Guardian.)

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Apart from the

Russian victory over the Turks in Transcancasia, which was described in a despatch to the Russian Embassy from Petrograd as complete, interest in the warfare now lies in the stub- born fight which the French and Ger- mans are carrying on for the roads to Cernay and Muelhausen, in upper Alsace.

in the battle in that region, which

has been raging for a week, is de- iscribcd in a Berlin despatch as the most violent ofthe war. The Germans succeeded in regaining one of thc trenches thcy had lost, but on the whole the French reports show the French maintain tho advantage for every bit of which they had to fight, in tuany cases with the bayonet. Along the rest oi' the western front the battle continues to ebb and flow.

On either side of Rbeims, and par- ticularly to the east of that harassed city, the French, according to reports, daily push their lines a few yards for- ward, while in Argonne, where more hard fighting is going on, first the Germans and then the French capture ouch other’s trenches.

Another region where the French

are nibbling away at the German lines is in Wocvre, where the gains reported by them last night and again to-day must, when consolidated. go u long way to render the German's long occupation of St Miliiel, on the liieuse, less comfortable.

The Russians with 'ull their other

fronts to cover i‘ound another army -wli.h which to take the offensive ngulust the Germans' position at Mia- wa on the East of the Russian fron- tier, and report the capture of a vil- lage on tho road to that town. The Germans are still hammering at the Russian line drawn directly across the roads to Warsaw from the West but, they report, with less force behind them.

in Western Galicia they were rc-

lnforced by Austrians and held up the Russian advance near Gorllce.

ln Southern Poland wet weather in- tervened nnii rut 11 Swv to fishline. .

Neither side moved there owing to ` ,high water and mud. The Russians

,drove the Austrians through the snow ` 'covered passages of the Carpathians ‘and out of Bukowina, dealing in ue-

tail with remnants of the Turkish ar- Imles in Trans Caucasia, which are re- iported either routed or surrounded. Tho Turkish dash into this far-off pro- vince of Russia is described as an un- wise manoeuvre. Military operations in winter are difficult there at any 'tlme, and with the severe winter rag- ing this year there is little chance of the poorly equipped Turkish troops succeeding in their efforts.

Altogether the Russians pngaged Turks in ten pitched battles, in many cases knee deep in snow.

' Russians allowed them to approach

them at close range, which completely

OTTAWA, Jan. 6.-It is understood

in militia circles here that the second Canadian expeditionary force will leave for England early in March. it is expected that all necessary .equip- ment, rifles, etc., will be available by next mouth, and the force will be ready to embark by the last week in February or the first week in March.

Although no official information is

given out here as to the plans of the War Ofiice in connection with the Can- adian troops, there is reason to believe that a brigade, at least, of Canadians will be sent to Egypt to assist the Aus- tralian, British and indian troops there in the offensive optrations against Turkey.

Just what use is to he made of the

nine regiments of mounted rifles now being raised throughout the Domin- ion, is not ascertainable at present, though it is believed that some of them will go to Egypt since the nature of operations now proceeding in Europe in the Western war arena render cav- alry of little use. Probably a portion of the mounted troops being raised will be retained in Canada for home defence purposes.
