Barley and Wheat, containing all tn

them to powder form, with perma-

action of the Malt fcrnents on the
milk, its digestibility was markedly
increased over ordinary milk, so as
to render it easily assimilated by the
weak stomach of the infant, the in
valid, and the aged.
This we'll balanced milk food was

because Of the impossibility of obtaining
good milk at all times and in all places

DREVIOUS to 1883 it was neccs-
sary to add milk to all prepared
L foods for the infant and invalid,
in order to make properly balanced
diet. But it was difficult and often
impossible to obtain good milk in
cities and tropical climates.
The vital problem of how to supply
reliable milk for people of all ages
in any climate that would be avail
able at all times, was finally solved
by HORLICK of Racine, Wis,
US A., after years of labor and ex-
pertinent.
HORLlCK discovered a process OF
reducing fresh milk by careful cvapo-
ration in vacuum to a powder form,
which contained all the valuable con-
stituents of fresh milk, would keep
indefinitely in any climate, and yet
be soluble in hot or cold water.
This was the first time in history
that milk was reduced to a powder
form, soluble in water, retaining its
natural qualities when dissolved, and

SUGAR Acreage In India.

British midas sugar cane acreage
is from 6 to 10 per cent larger, accord
Ing to the second official crop estimate
for 1917-1S. This forecast Is based, on
reports furnished by provinces that
contain 90 per cent Of the sugar area
of India, and these reports indicate an
acreage for the crop of 2,565, 900, as
against an estimated 2.34O,000 acres at
the corresponding date year ago. an
increase Of 10 per cent. AS compared
with the final estimate (2,414,OO0
scres) for 1867, the present estimate
shows an increase of per cent.
The Indian Trade Journal states
that, while the crop was affected to n
certain extent by heavy rain and floods
in low-lying areas In parts of the Unit
cd Provinces, the Punjab and Bengal,
and by disease and insect pests In
some Of the eastern districts Of the
United Provinces. the prospects of the
crop, on the whole, are good.

TRACTORS USE in SCOTLAND
American Machine ~ Popular Among
Larger Farmers--Demand 10 In
Excess Of Supply.

The use Of tractors In Scotland for
farming purposes has increased re-
markably during the past two years,
and the present demand Is far In ex-
cess Of the supply, writes Vice Consul
r. r. Pottle. Dundee. The very high
prices and costly upkeep Of farm
horses, added to the heavier expenses
for labor, have compelled the larger
farmers to be on the lookout for the
best type Of utility tractor.
The necessary points seem to be:
Sufficient power with a reserve;
strength and simplicity Of construc-
ton; ability to run on common paraffin
with economical consumption capa-
BILE of being operated by one
man; toughness and durability of
parts; easy adjustment; and abll-
ity to pull harrows, rollers, cultiva-
tors, etc., over broken ground.
A local farmers association has
stated that 1t would be difficult for
any other class Of farmers than those
cultivating more than 100 acres to
make use economically of tractors, I'M
less the smaller farmers can combine
to use one tractor among several of
them.
There Is no doubt that tractors have
come to stay, and 1t Is only question
Of a short time until a hiring system
will be found which will work con-
veniently and economically in much
the same way as In thrashing. Sew
eral American tractors already are on
the Scottish market, in limited num-
bers on account of import restrictions.
but experience has given the Scottish
farmer great confidence In any Ameri-
can make Of farm machinery. and
doubtless there will be great demand
for American tractors after the war.

PROTECTION FOR HOGS

70 protect your hogs from
tuberculosis and to make sure
that your feed will be turned in
to meat instead Of fertilizer:
l. See that oil milk, especially
all skim milk from the creamery,
Is pasteurized or cooked before
1t Ia fed to the hogs.
2. Keep your hogs from fol-
lowing dairy cattle, unless the
cattle are tuberculin tested.
Keep them out Of the COW lots
and barns. and keep dairy drain
age out of hog lots. Hogs can
follow steers without much dam
ger.
3. Give your healthy hogs a
chance to keep healthy. Give
them clean, well-drained lots
and plenty Of fresh air, sunlight
and clean water. Shelter them
in well-llghted and ventilated,
sanitary hog houses. Keep the
houses clean and use plenty of
whitewash and dlslnfectants.
If there was tuberculosis In
your swine last year, 1t is safest
to get rid Of that herd, especially
the breeding animals, and raise
clean hogs from fresh stock
