to map out a plan of organizing So
ciety of musicians to be called the
Philharmonic of New York and to
draft constitution and bylaws.
They proposed to have a very large
orchestra'-of not less than fifty men.
Mr.. Hill was making the trip to
study under the famous violinist and
composer, Louis Spohr, and 1T was not
until two years afterward that he re-
turned to America. When he met my
father the two of them revived the
idea Of the Philharmonic Of New York
and, despite the great opposition of
many, they persuaded the principal
orchestra musicians of the city to form
an orchestra, and the Philharmonic
Society of New York was launched in
1912.
when the tentative constitution
and bylaws, drawn up on the st.
James, were adopted. Mr.. Hill was
unanimously elected president and
my father ice-president of the or
ganization.
The thought that an audience
could be induced to listen to a whole
orchestral symphony was considered
absurd by many in those days, but
the president and vice-president of the
society were determined to make the

THE members of the society re-
ceived no salary and 1t was n dini-
cult matter to get them to attend re-
hearsals. They had to give lessons
and do other work to make a living
and, although a system Of fines was
later inaugurated to make them all
attend. 1t was a hard thing to get
them all present at the sans time.
Contrary to the expectations and
predictions of the dcubters, the first
concert was a decided success. 1t was
given December 7. 1S42. That
worthwhile programme was given

bers on it.

"The Sins Of the Fathers.1

Mr.. Lloyd-George's son, Capt. Rich
ard Lloyd-George, whose sudden pro
motion to a lieutenant colonelcy was
officially denied recently. has inherited
a fine gift of oratory from his famous

counted for his presence there.
Responding to a vote of thanks,
young Mr.. Richard said that Mr. Lloyd

TREATING ULCERS or C0RNEA
Touch All Parts of Sore With Stick of
Nitrate of Silver-Bathe With
Solution of Salt Water.

Ulcers of the cornea in calves may
be caused by several things, such as
bruises, assesses, or boards from fox
tail; or it may be the result of a Sc
we're attack of pink eye. You can tell
ulcers of the cornea from pink eye by
means of the discharge. Instead Of
pus, you will find an acid, watery fluid.
If it should be ulcer of the cornea, or
ulcers formed by very violent cases
of the pink eye, the treatment is about
the same. Take a stick of nitrate of
silver, sharpen as you would pencil,
get an attendant to hold the head of
the calf, keeping the eyelids back, and
touch all parts of the ulcer lightly with
the stick of silver nitrate. Wait a few
minutes and battle eyes with a solu-
ton of salt water
Repeat this operation in about three
days. Unless you have a distinct pro-
lection on the cornea of the eye, do
not use the caustic treatment. Battle
several times day with sulphate of
zinc, Is grains to half pint of soft
water. Protect the eyes from flies,
sunlight, etc.

The Ruffed Grouse, loo.

The pinnated grouse, or prairie
chicken, is by no means the only de-
siTable game bird whose extinction is
threatened in Minnesota. The ruffed
grouse, or partridge, is in even great
er danger It's growing scarcity has
been noted by many travellers along
country roads, who are accustomed to
seeing many of these birds feeding
along the way, especially in August
This year very few were SEEN where
heretofore they have been numerous.
1t is probable that the automobile
is in large part responsible for the
rapid disappearance of the ruffed
grouse, for the automobile has com
pletely changed the conditions under
which the bird is hunted. In former
days hunters went out perhaps once
a week, where now they can go every
afternoon. The radius of their actiy-
ity has also been greatly increased,
so that places that were once beyond
their reach are now within easy motor
ing distance. Thus what were prac-
tically game refugees are no longer
such.-Minneapolis Journal.

NEGLECT VALUE OF RECORDS
Cow Bought at Low Price Not Always
Best Investment-5est TO Keep
Track of Feed and Milk.

Is the cheaper-priced dairy COW
necessarily the better investment?
The question is well answered in the
following instance: A man wishing
a COW for dairy purposes called upon
a dairyman who kept milk records as
well as cost accounts. The buyer con-
fined his attention to two cows. One
of these would cost him SIS, the other
SITS. The former was in good condi-
ton, but the dairy characteristics were
not as fully developed as they might
have been; the latter was the direct
opposite. The records of the two
cows we're shown the buyer, but he
was not as much interested in records
as he should have been. He did not
consider it worth while to sit down
and figure out which would be the bet
ter investment.

War Causes Birds, Suffering.

That birds have suffered from the
devastating fire of the opposing hosts
in Europe there can be no question.
Captain Crawshay bears testimony of
this in letter to the Royal society
for the Perfection of Birds. Harriers,
he has noticed in France, have come
in for hot times" when gun positions
are located in low bottoms which form
the favorite hawking grounds of these
birds. "Partridges," he adds, Il some
times see scared by the bursting
shells"
Another relates the distress OF a
pair of swallows that returned in the
spring to the cottage which had hith
erto afforded them harborage, only
to find it heap of ruins. After dis
consolately flying round and round
as if unable to believe the evidence
of their own eyes, they eventually
discovered a suitable site for theil
nursery in a small military hut. A
great number OF such huts, it is pleas
ing to learn, have been used for this
purpose.

GIVE COWS SALT REGULARLY
Best Plan Is TO Have Box Handy
Where Animals Can Help Them
selves Whenever They Wish.

Don't forget to salt the cows. In
experiments it has been found that a
COW should have three-fourths of an
ounce of salt a day live weight, with
an additional six-tenths of an ounce
for each twenty pounds of milk pro
duced, to keep her in the best of con-
dition.
Animals deprived of salt become
emaciated and of low vitality, finally
suffering complete breakdown. Salt
should be provided regularly.
The best plan is to have a box con-
tanning salt where the animals can get
to it whenever they so desire. Either
fine salt or rock salt can be used, al
though we prefer the latter.

COLONY HAS FEW INDUSTRIES
Belgian Congo, After Thirty Years. Ia
Still in the Early Stages of
pevelopme It.

Belgian Congo, founded thirty years
ago, is still in the early stage of de.
velopment. So far practically no
manufacturing industries have vet
been established and. aside from the
important copper mines in the Ia.
tanga district, the only large indus
trial enterprises are the RAILWAYS and
river transportation services. II
may be said that all business activi-
ties in the colony are devoted to the
collection Of tropical products-rub-
ber' ivory, gum copal, palm oil and
kernels, cacao, etc.-and the railway
and river services are in reality only
accessories to these activities. having
been established primarily to aid in
the transportation OF these products
to the seaports. The gathering of rub.
Der in Congo has never recovered its
former activity, and in all probability
will never again be so rich source
OF income to the colony as it was pre-
vtous to 1912, The cultivated product
from the plantations in the East In
dies is superior in quality to the wild
rubber of the Congo. and, owing to
the active competition of the larger
plantations and better location as to
shipping facilities, it may be placed
upon the market at lower rates.

THE BUILDING
Of A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in Ii.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies Of
Western Canada. connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
Of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. If they
"reminiscences, and tell of the hardships
and the privations. why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo of
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life, one of the most pleasant
and prosperous of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western pyatries breed a high type
of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would oe his were
it not for the upbuilding influence and
character of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca.
madam prairie looks upon the result Of
his work. why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some of this
feeling of pride that took possession
Of Sir Donald Mann, vice president Of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg, when he said:
Il am not in the habit of giving adj
vice, but l have no hesitation of advis,
ing the young men Of Canada, every
