LINKS SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY

American business men agree that
applied science and industry must be
linked together in this country by
stronger bonds than have heretofore
existed If American industry is to meet
the new conditions and to take full
advantage Of the new opportunity cre-
ated by the war.
But that thought Is not new,"
said DR.. Samuel w. Stratton. father,
creator and director of the bureau of
standards, when he was drawn into a
conversation on the subject. "In fact.
we have been getting ready for ten
years for just such conditions as exist,
and we were doing so without any
thought Of war, either"
In other words. for ten years a
large part of the efforts of the bureau
OF standards has been directed toward
being helpful to industry and COM
merce. "For," said Doctor Stratton,
"there Is hardly a branch of industry
that is not tied up In some way with
considerations nf standards -

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention Of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows great in
crease In the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. HI also said the i'm
provement In quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter In outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 80 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year In 1915. There was an
increase of over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced. as against the
previous year. about 100000 lbs. In
crease In dairy butter and over 25.000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,150,444 lbs.
and it brought an average price Of 23c
per lb.; Of creamery butter 5,839687
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 728, ,725 lbs. which sold at
an average price Of 15c-the total
value of these three products Is given
as $2,780.69 In addition to which the
milk produced Is valued at $325, $50
and the cream at $15S,827. the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lb. and Of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry 1t is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now Is corn, Of which the
1915 production amounted to 190,132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,815 tons; Of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number Of cattle In the province
is given as 831 ,0O5, which is an In
crease Of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA. 1t was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons Of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston. Alberta, creamery In 1915
paid Its patrons a rate Of 27hc per
lb. for butter fat and had a profit re-
malning over all expenses of $5,5S4.
The creamery during season dIstrib-
uted among farmers $6l, III and manu-
factured 258,0OO lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2sA cents.
The development Of the dairy indus
try Of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of a prominent
dairy business here. which In 1915 pro-
duced 2.525, 600 lbs. butter. an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market In all
parts Of Canada and this year will en-

BEAUTY OF HOME GROUNDS
BY H. ". SHEPARD.

The immediate grounds about the
farm or home dwelling can be made
beautiful and sanitary as few other
places can. The home grounds should
De ample, as large as is consistent with
the size of the dwelling. and much
larger than most farm home grounds
are.
An acre is not too much. Some may
think that an acre of ground is too
much to waste on simple dooryard,
but II must be remembered that this
part of the farm is where the farmer
and his family live and spend great
er part Of their time. and that the bet
ter the home grounds the better will be
the life of the family.
1t Is a wrong estimate of life and
property to be forever making money
to enlarge the farm In area, buying
extra tracts of land for future use,
and not improve and make the best
.of the little spot where the wife and
children must spend nearly all Of the
best part of life.
Some look forward to and prepare
too much pleasure to come and do not
expend any means on making the pres
ent the very best that 1t can be. They
let the home grounds and surround
lngs remain shabby and unimproved,
expending the extra money on prop
erty to be handed down to children, or
putting 1t in the bank.
This is wrong when there is any
neglect in home Improvement, II the
children need help. by all means they
need 1t now while they are helpless
more than when they grow up and will
be able to fully care for themselves.
perhaps much better than we ever
shall be able to care for them.
They need the comforts, healthful-
ness and beautifying influences Of
good home and surroundings In order
to make them healthy, strong, beauti-
full and good. These are infinitely bet
ter than inherited real estate, per-
sonal property or money.
The child whose home life Is perfect
for physical and mental development
will 70 out into the world with rich
heritage. If the home Is beautiful and
attractive the child when grown older
will love to come back to visit the par
ents who made the home.
The grounds surrounding the farm
dwelling should be well drained and
graded to suit the location. The main
open part Of the space should be
lawn of good grass and be kept mown
low at all times, so that air and sun
light may purify the soil.
The lawn is for use. to walk and
play on, and should be laid out with
that in view. Keep off the grass"
may be all right for city parks, but
the home lawn is green-carpeted out
door floor for everyday use.
Abundance Of flowers, shrubs and
trees are essentials for completing the
picture, but flowers and shrubs must
be massed in clumps and borders
along the sides, and the trees must
be grouped In one place, preferably
the rear or somewhat removed from
one side of the dwelling.

FRENCH THROW A RING
OF FIRE AROUND CITY

PARIS, July 11.-Tho situation
remains unchanged on the somme
front. The war office statement Of
Tuesday says 1t has been ascertained
that south Of the somme the French
in the last two days have taken more
than 1900 prisoners.
On the Verdun front the Germans
launched an attack at o'clock Tues
day morning on the French positions
from Fleury to point east of Che
nois. They succeeded In penetrating
advanced French trenches at some
points but we're expelled Immediately
by counter attack.
West of the Meuse there was ac-
tive artillery lighting in the. neighbor-
hood OF Avocourt and Chattancourt.
The French continue to report sat
isfactory progress in their great Of
fensive in Plcardy. Mondays oper-
ations again were confined to the
southern echelon, which has consoli-
dated and extended its hold upon the
northern plateau opposite Peronne.
Hill 97 is Taken.
The outstanding French success of
the day was the capture Of all the
German positions on hill o. the
highest point of the plateau. The
first French rush on Saturday car
ried the INTO the western slopes OF
this hill on which they made
good their footing but their
troops waiting there had been
stopped until adequate preparations
permitted an attack on the farm

more speed and fewer casualties.
They are now in full possession Of
this height from which they LOOK

Return from Camp.

After spending two weeks at
Camp Kanawha near Charleston,
Company's A and X, and the First
regiment band, of the state militia,
arrived home at Z o'clock Tuesday
morning. All the boys are in fine
shape physically and are much better
soldiers than when they left the city.
The boys of Company A, who left
here wearing civilian clothes, made
a much better appearance when they
got off the train all dolled up in
new khaki suits. The two weeks
spent at camp did much to put the
raw material in shape for regular
work and the 100 or more men who
arrived home Tuesday are capable
of going to the front at any time
II needed.
