Some fine caulihower was shown at
many of the stalls and brought from

s1.OO ADAY FOR FOUR.
Food Supplies Purchased For Fam
lily of Four Persons.

These meals were planned for their
economic value-economy of money
and economy of food material-and
are designed to supply without waste,
to family of four enough food to
build the required amount Of body It's
sue and to furnish energy for body
processes and external work.
The family in this case, consists of
a man employed in an Office, his
wife and two children, a girl Of seven
and a boy of four. For the benefit
Of the children, a generous amount of
milk is provided, and as much fruit as
the allowance will permit.
Fruit, vegetables and cereals, and
milk, which is rich in calcium, are
the cheapest means of furnishing an
adequate amount of mineral matter
for the children No meat is provided
for the child of four, as his require
ment is much better met by the other
foods and by an egg given to him as
often as possible. While the needs Of
the growing children have been upper
most in mind the food selected also
furnishes the requisite amount of nu-
triton for the adults. Some con-
cessions have been made, however, to
the appetites already formed by furn-
ishing meat for the mans breakfast,
and coffee and tea for the breakfast
and dinner of the man and the woman.
The items given below are for one
days meals, and the prices quoted are
those Of current in most communi-
ties. 1t will be noticed that in Alex

MIst.ke Cost s2o.ooo.ooo

The temporary loss of an important
paper once cost this country nearly
$20,000,000. This was in connection
with the famous Alabama incident in
the American Civil war.
The vessel was quietly constructed
at Birkephead, and launched on May
is, 1862. Then, and not till then,
suspicion of its true character was
aroused, and a case was prepared for
the law officers opinion. But the mes
senger entrusted with the papers put
them in the wrong letter box Two
days passed before the mistake was
learned, and when orders were tele-
graphed to stop the vessel the Ala
bama had steamed from the Mersey on
a voyage of destruction for which we
had to pay something more than the
price of elegram.-London Chroni.

BY Prof. J. T. ToRMEY.
'isconsin College Of Agriculture

The manurial value of any fertiliz-
ing substance depends upon the
amounts of fertilizing constituents the
material contains. The most common
constituents that are generally re-
quired to replete soils worn out or ex-
hausted through cropping are nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, and potassium.
Cash values are placed upon these
constituents and the market value of
any commercial fertilizer is based
upon the amount of these constituents
that is found In the fertilizer.
The value of nitrogen in a fertiliz-
er is 10 cents per pound; of phosphor-
ic acid, 5 cents per pound, and of pot
ash, cents per pound
Feeds vary in the amounts OF these
various constituents and the amounts
OF the different constituents appearing
in the manure of animals depends pri-
marty upon the amounts of the con-
stituhnts in the feeding stuff upon
which the animal was fed. Animals
fed far different purposes reserve diff
frreut amounts OF the fertilizing con-
sutAents Tor various purposes, and
consequently void varying amounts.
For example, the growing calf will
keep more of the nitrogen for tissue
building purposes and somewhat more
OF the phosphoric acid and potassium
as mineral constituents for building
purposes. The dairy COW utilizes quite
a large amount of material in milk
production. The fat steer voids in his
manure a larger percentage of fertil-
izing constituents than either the calf
or the dairy COW, because he has his
body all built and is storing fat, which
does not contain any of the three ele-
ments found in our fertilizing mate
rial.
The following table from Henry's
Feeds and Feeding serves to show
the amount of fertilizing material ex-
oreted by the various animals.

it took place was an instructor in en-

One day, in a recitation he gave out
this question to class of cadets:

has fallen down. You are ordered by
your commanding officer to put it up
again. You have under your command
a sergeant and ten privates of the en-

Each cadet, after long consideration
and much figuring over the derricks,
blocks. tackle and so on. evolved a
different method

wrong. You would simply say: Ser.

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times of March %.
1912. in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress, says:
AT the present moment eight ship
loads Of European immigrants are
afioat for Canada. while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with lis during
labor troubles win be marked this
year. There is no such startling rec
ord of our loss to Canada. Our citi.
zens quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t is because Canada is
following in its neighbours footsteps
that it is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which its neighbor is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings OF the past
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of s39,000,o0o, and on Thurs.
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits of
$SS,000,000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly We find single road allot-
ting ten millions for work OF its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing in their
high-priced American lands.
"A st. Paul dispatch says that with.
in fortnight two thousand carloads
of farm animals and machinery have
passed toward Canada, the property
of men who expect to pay for their
farms with the first crop"

MANNERS WAIT ON LEISURE
Modern Day Discourtesy Seemingly
the Result of the Universal
"Rush."

The young lady who described a
burglar the other day as a perfect
gentleman" wasn't very far wrong.
For burglars are among the few per-
sons who can afford the time to be
perfect gentlemen.
Gentle manners have had their high
est development in periods when time
was of smallest Importance. The
elaborate code of the French courts
was the substance of ease. It was
bred with the care which only leisure
can provide. The gallantry of the
ante-bellum South was as famous as
the ante-bellum hospitality The one
cost nothing of time as the other cost
nothing in effort. While people have
been struggling and humping and
showing in az" and subway trains in
New York, the people who rode in the
crosstown horse cars-relics of an cas-
Ter decade-have been practicing a
politeness which, by contrast with the
boorishness so painfully evident else
where, was touching and exquisite.
The patroI S of the horse cars were
those with time to spare
The rush of modern American life is
not an excase for bad manners But
it is an explanation. We cannot preach
economy of time without forcing
economies in other things-and among
these are thoughtfulness and consider.
