Field Crors OF Canada.

The census and statistics office has
issued its preliminary estimate Of the
total value of the field crops of Can
ada for the past year, as compared
with the finally revised estimates of
1916 and 1915. The estimated values
for 1917 represent the prices received
by farmers and are calculated from
current market quotations. According
TO this preliminary estimate, the total
value of all field crops for 1917 Is
placed at $l,0S0, 0,GS7 900, as compared
with SSSG, ,494000 in 1916 and SS25,37O.-

Goats Milk Is Favored.

Everyone who Is at all acquainted

Of the milk for infants and invalids'
use-Onc of the first points about the
milk goat that presents itself, asserts
Il writer. The goat is practically free
from tuberculosis. According To the

Industry (U. s., covering federal in
spection OF animals slaughtered for
food there We're inspected during the
eight years, 1907 to 1914, inclusive,
5T9,6l7 goats, Of which not II single
animal was condemned for tubercu-
loSls. This fact alone should be the
strongest argument in favor of the
milk of the goat. The cream globules
OF the milk of the goat are smaller
than those OF cows milk, and because
Of this milk being condensed the cream
globules are contained in n more per-
feet state of emulsion than the cows
milk. An argument in favor of stcr-
lllzed milk Is that authorities agree 1t
Is actually moro easily digcsted than
Is the fresh milk, this referring to

THE "a. P.U

The great American news-gathel>
ing and distributing organization
known as the Associated Press was
IN" product of many minds, but the
credit for the origination of the idea
is usually given to Moses Yale Beach,
VINO was born in Wallingford, Conn,
lIl years ago today, Beach started
lille as cabinet maker early invent
ed rag-cutting machine, and for
seven years was a paper manufactur-
er. In 1888 he bought the New York
sun, then new and struggling pen
ny paper from its founder eniamin
H. Day. AS publisher of The Sun.
Beach suggested that all papers in
New York pool their news and sell
it to outside papers - This was the
origin Of the cooperative news.Eath-
ering movement which has developed
into the worldwide organization of
today. Gerard lIallock was the first
president and DR. Alexander Jones
the first manager of the "A. r."
The plan was followed in other sec
tions and the New York Associated
Press exchanged news with the New
England, Western and other "A. P.'s"
In 1882 the fraternal relations be-
tween the New York and the West.
crn organizations ceased and for Il
time they remained rivals. but soon
settled their grievances and combined
their resources.
The Associated Press is recognized
as the only real wsgathering agcn-
cy in the United States and readers

dispatches, right up to the very min

HESITATION DANGEROUS

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Dec. %
Correspondence of The Associated
Press THE anti.aircraft barrage is
today the most dreaded enemy weap'
on which the airman has to face in his
flights over the lines. In the midst OF
sea of bursting shells, the airplane
bobs up and down like a ship in a vio-
lent storm. The conclusions which
the shells make in bursting produce
swift succession of air pockets and
air bumps, and it is absolutely impos-
sible to keep machine steady
through them. Meanwhile there is the
strain of knowing always that the
next instant one of the thousands OF
flying shell splinters may reach vi.
tai spot in either machine or pilot.
Yet it is not possible to avoid fly
ing through barrage at times. The
latest type of anti-aircraft guns can
place a barrage as high as $4,000 feet,
and it is not practical to turn about
and try to climb over the barrage. 1t
takes a very highly specialized scout
machines to climb to $4,000 feet, and
the heavier machines cannot achieve
that altitude under any circumstances.
The longer the airman hesitates to
run the barrage. the longer he is eX-

point where the range is calculated to
nicely almost instantaneously by
processes of triangulation and. there
fore, the flyer who hesitates is lost.
The only thing he can do is to take his
change, just as a ship at sea takes a
storm and accepts its chances of
weathering the gale.
Next to the barrage, the most fear

A BOOMERANG

With Germany's peace advances to
the Bolshcviki gradually assuming
the form of a boomerang which may
even send the Russian army into nc.
tion again and thus spoil the pretty
military plans the Teutonic empire
has built up upon the apparent col.
lapse of the northern republic, it is
well again to consider the often. but
not too often, repeated fact that
there can be no satisfactory peace
with the present German rulers.
The German war aims, whatever
may be their statement by the kaiser,
the chancellor or anyone else in of.
1cial authority, are obviously undem.
ocratic and, as such. unacceptable by
the allies. Count Czernin recently
proclaimed the general formula of
no anneXations, no indemnities" and
the first tangible display of the work.
ing out of this came at the Brest.
Litovsk conference when the Huns
proceeded to demand Poland, Lithu.
ania and COurland
