PROFIT

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. It is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

Methodist, and in after life Mr.. Spencer,
when asked whether he had originally
held some creed and then given 1t up,
eaiu that his mind had always lain out
side Of the eorthodoX creeds. sse
4 UNIVERSITY AND EARLY CAREER.
+ Spencer never succeeded as q typical
university man. Yocabularies and an
cicnt literature were not 10 his liking,
and though he took an exceptional stand
in science and mathematics he felt that
the usual university training was not for
him and so left to- pursue his natural
bent. After leaving the university he
first taught and then for eight years
worked as civil engineer, but with the
cc.llapes Of railroad building In England
which occurred In 1876, Spencer found that
he had to begin life again. He had AL
ready written some trenchunt articles
ard had begun work on his Social
Statics,", (which appeared In 1850 the
object Of which was to base tho writer's
PRACTICAL views Of the nature and scope
OF government on a coherent set Iof. flrst
principles. In this work are to be found
the germs Of the pregnant speculatlons
which were to lead to tho far-renchins
eosnical generalization which. like q
magnet gathered to Itself the scattered
fragments OF scientific thought
From 1850 to- 1860 he toiled on steaullS,
and In tho latter year began his great
work, Spencer's Synthetic Philosophy. :.

Tho passing Of Herbert Spencer re-

Darwin is dead, Tyndal is dead Huxley
1,as now gone to the great beyond, and
now Spencer has given UP nEnosticls
FOR knowledge and has solved the
mystery that lies behind the 4crceds." The
papers have been Justly filled with re-
miniscenses and eulogcs OF this mans ir-
'donitable courage, both physical and IN ~
tcllectual. Born on April n. 1920. Herbert
Spencer was, like John Stuart Mill, the
special object Of his fathers training,
but unlike the. great political economist
young Spencer's mind WIS allowed to de-
velop naturally, and SO atA the age 5of
seven, though he could reason CLEARLY
urd had already acquired great love for
M tural history, he had not learned how
to read. The whole atmosphere OF Her
bert spencers youth was calculated to
stimulate his reasoning faculties to the
Highest, but not to give any dogmatic
twist to his life. His father and IS
mother attended different churches. the
one being a Quaker and the other a
