THC COW IN MEMORIAM COULTHARD I" loving mem- ory of a dear wife and mother, Alice Coulthard, who passed away Novem- ber 21st. 1929. No one knows the silent heartache. Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that is borne in silence, j For one we loved so well. Every moment we do miss her, Sadly do we feel our loss. Dreary is our home without her, Help us. Lord, to bear our cross. Sadly missed by Husband and Daughter. 80 TONS TO THE BUSHEL. How much water docs it take to grow a bushel of wheat? When someone asked us this question we answered fifty gallons, thinking that would be a liberal estimate. Then we were told to work it out and see for ourselves how silly our answer was. Well, we have worked it out, and we admit that we are somewhat staggered. First, let's take a good wheat growing area. The area around Re- gina will do. On looking up meter- ological records we find that the nor- mal rain fall in this area is just \ under fifteen inches a year (trans- I lating the snow into rain). This ! means that on every acre of land 54,450 cubic feet of rain fell. Now , a cubic foot of water (so the editors , of our technical newspapers tell us) weighs 62 pounds. That meant that 1.C88 tons of water fell on each acre. ' The average yield of wheat in the Reginrx urea in a ten year period was 21 bushel?. Thu-j each bushel of wheat tojk SO tons of water to grow.

A TIMELY ADDRESS Addressing the St. Thomas Kiwanis Club. W. R. Reck, superintendent of the Rideetown Experimental Farm, predicted that when the present, period of depression and reduced prices for farm products hd passed 8'boi't ten per cent of those in the agricultural industry whom he de- scribed as "fair weather farmers" would be out of business, while the farmers who weather the storm would be thinking more seriously than they ' have in the past. He declared that j it takes periods of depression to mako farmers realize the importance of -ullinp th" unorofttablp cows from Ihoir herd;* and the boarder hens from their flocks. He criticized the doctrine of reduced farm production, ft the same time advising that the "ftntr should endeavor to produce in"); as much train on a smaller a<rpco and <levote the other land to production of roughage- and pasture. The cow is u female quadruped with - ;'!t-) voice end a countcnn-jc i-i v-hic!- there i; no Kui!e.

The VCVMT cow i.-, called a calf, and i is used in the :r:anufact.uro of chicken i salad, The LOW'S t:iil is mounted aft and has n universal >oint. It is used to disturb mat .'auding flics, and the tas- sel on the end has a unique cdi: nation- al value. Persons who mill; cows and come often in contact with the tassel have vocabrlaries of peculiar ard impressive force. The cow has two stomachs. The one on the ground floor is used as warehouse and has no other function. When this one is filled the cow re- tires to a ouiet olace where her ill manners will occasion no comment and devotes herself to belching. The raw material thu~ conveyed fn* the second time to the interior of her face is pulverized and delivered to the auxiliary stomach, where it is con- verted into cow. The ^ow has no imnpr nlaro. All of her teeth are parked in the lower part of her fare. Th ; ' arrangement was perfected by an efficiency expert to keep her from c-nmming things up. As a result she bites up and gums The beautiful fall weather is ap- 1 predated by all. We have certainly had a lovely fall. Sir Winter cannot ! be far away and he may greet, us ! any dry.

There are two general types 01 | pr.iasites :cmnicn to sheep, namely internal and external. Of the tw , types, the internal parasites are the most deadly ^s s"viouj infections by this type are usually fatal. StomacU worms and tapeworms seem to be thi most common rv thH vriety while ti<'l;s and l::c are present. These kinds of parasites can be <** foctively controlled by dipping. Sheep which are well fed and kept j under sanitary conditions are in a better position li withstand narasiu; infestation because of the higher re sistancc. If the pastures are rotated, this will also be a meaure of pre- vention. Manv losses in the lamb crop ;an also be prevented by drench ing breeding ewes before they are turned out on pasture.
