A famous doctor once said : " Encourage your child to be merry and to laugh aloud ; a good , hearty laugh expands the chest and makes the blood bound merrily along . Com- mend me to a good laugh - not to a little sniggling laugh , to one that will sound " right through the house ; it will not only do your child good , but will be a benefit to all who hear , and be an important means of driving the blues away from a delling . Merriment is catching , and spreads in a re- markable manner , few being able to resist the contagion . A hearty laugh is delightful harmony ; indeed , it is the best of all music . A DIPHTHERIA HINT . At the first indication of diphtheris in the throat of a child close the room , then take a tin cup and pour into it a quantity of tar and turpentine , equal parts . Then hold the cup over a fire , so as to fill the room with The fumes , says the Scientific American . little patient , on inhaling the fumes will cough up and spit out all the membranous matter , and the diphtheria will pass out . The fumes of the tar and turpentine loosen the matter in the throat , and thus afford the relief that has baffled the skill of physicians . CHAPPED HANDS . During the cold weather the hands are ex- become tremely liable to chapped and rough , and , in consequence , look red and ugly , but with a little care , and the use of a reliable cream , this can be altogether avoided . There are many preparations sold for this purpose , but the following is a simple recipe that can easily be made at home . Mix one ounce of witch hazel with twenty drops of tincture of benzoine , and if desired , a few drops of scent to give it a pleasant perfume . This mixture should be rubbed well into the hands whenever they are washed , at the same time taking care to press back gently he cuticle around the nails . Besides having a softening effect upon hard skin this preparation also acts as astringent , and is a great protection against further chapping , an THAT " HEAVY " LOOK . The habit of breathing through the mouth often gives a dull , stolid expression to the face . Many a girl would be pretty but for that heavy look , " as her friends describe it . A loosely - hanging mouth takes away all the brightness and alert expression from a face , and , what is vastly important , it is extremely unhealthy to breathe through the mouth . Slight cases of adenoids can often be cured by the practice of correct , deep breathing , and anyone with a delicate throat should spare no trouble to check the bad habit of mouth breathing . From the point of view of looks alone it is worth doing . THE ROSS GAZETTE THURSDAY AGRICULTURAL NOTES . BY A PRACTICAL FARMER A SURPLUS MILK SCHEME . One of the most interesting attempta yet made to deal with surplus summer milk is the co - operative scheme launched in 1912 under the title of the Cheshire Milk Pro- ducers Depots , Limited . A milk factory was taken at Balderton , near Chester , on the estate of the Duke of Westminster . JANUARY 8 , 1914 .

The general opinion seems to be that Colonel Hughes has been blinded by the military shows he saw while abroad last summer . THE HOUSING PROBLEM . Mr. Henry Tollemache ,. president , has just recounted to subscribers their first year's ex- periences . He said they estimated having to deal with 1,000 gallons of milk per day , in stead of which the quantity was 10,000 gallons . They were supplied with 1,250,000 gallons in nine months , and they had to start ten temporary depôts .

Put the trussed pheasant on top of this , with a little dripping spread over the breast of the bird , then let it get nicely browned in a fairly hot oven . Next take up the bird and remove some of , if not all , the fat in the pan , return the pheasant , season with salt and pepper , and add two heaped - up tablespoon- fuls of peeled and chopped tomatoes , and one and a - half gill of gravy or good brown stock . Cover the pan and let the contents cook gently for about fifty minutes in the oven or on top of the stove . Untruss the pheasant and serve it whole , or cut up in the casserole , or dish up neatly on a hot entrée dish . APPLE TART AND CUSTARD . - Peel and core about three large apples , elico them up in a small piedish ; add a little lemon - peel and a tablespoonful of sugar , cover with pastry ; brush the top of the pastry with cold water , sift sugar over , and bake a nice golden brown . See that the apples are well cooked . If they be cooking apples the tart will take about half an hour to bake . To make the pastry for the tart , take three ounces of butter , lard , or dripping , six ounces of self - raising flour , and mix with little water into a stiff paste ; roll it out on a pastry board , pult some pastry around the dish , then cover the top . For the custard use an egg , a teacupful of milk , a dessertspoonful of sugar , and a little flavouring .

They hear the rattle of their numerous engagements , like pebbles in a gourd , and suppose because they are busy with triviali- ties that their lives are full . Never is vacuity more fraught with self - deception . The full life is not of necessity the fretfully busy life . A life can be busy over infinitesimal trifles . The well- sense of leisure . The filled life may have a empty life , the life that has no mighty and com- pelling purpose , may well fear the pull of the void . He stands secure whose life has found poise and assurance in the fulness of peace and power . THE PRICE OF LIBERTY . Liberty means responsibility . " Some young people want liberty in the mistaken idea that it means freedom from everything in the nature of obligation . But that is licence , not liberty , Liberty always fulfils , and respects , and exalta law . It shoulders burdens , and marchandise unworthy of it cannot keep it a day . HIS BEST . INSURANCE OF LIVE STOCK . It was recently stated that there are in existence in England and Wales about 1,000 societies for the insurance of pigs , about 130 for the insurance of cows , and about half a dozen for the insurance of horses . In the month of June every year there are in the bountry approximately 8,000,000 pigs , which must be worth some , £ 10,000,000 . Less than 2 per cent . of that valuable property is in- sured ( except against loss by fire ) . We are told that the ordinary large live stock in- surance companies do not find the insur- ance of pigs a profitable business , and there- fore do not encourage it . In many parts of the country , however , the insurance of pigs against death from die ease or accident has been successfully under- taken by small societies formed by the pig owners themselves . A society in an ordi- narily healthy country district might expect to have an average casualty rate of well be- low 5 per cent . of the insured pigs , and the actual average lose in existing societies , both registered and unregistered , is about le . 10d . per annum per pig insured . As regards cows , the experience of eighty- six cow insurance societies in different parts of the country show the average death - rate to be about 2 per cent . per annum of , the cows insured , and the average loss , after de- ducting income from sale of carcases , well under 5s . per cow per annum . Of course , there is always the possibility that , owing to a succession of bad years , the losses may case it considerably exceed the insurance contribu tions of those years , and in euch a may become necessary for the society either to draw upon its reserve or to make a levy upon its members . But the secret of these small societies ' ability to pay their way in most years is the close supervision which they are able to have over their members . • BRAN AS A BULLOCK FOOD . Bran is not much used in this country as a cattle food , but experiments undertaken by the Edinburgh and East of Scotland College of Agriculture , with the object of contrasting the feeding value of linseed cake , wheat bran , and a complex mixture which contains both of these ingredients and others as well , indi- cate that , on the whole , the most profit is obtained by the use of bran . The Chairman pointed out that there were 250,000 farmers in England and Wales , of which a number only , from 25,000 to 30,000 , were members of the Farmers ' Union . That was a very poor percentage , and he hoped it would be increased largely before long . They scheme , and it was for farmers to get to had everybody looking at the national land know exactly what it was , and then put up their backs against it , if it did not suit them Dealing with the rating question , he said that 71 per cent , of the cost of education was paid by the local ratepayers in some parts of the country , 86 per cent , was paid by farmers for main roads , and they paid 61 per cent . of the county police rate . With regard to the poor rate , why should farmers pay 91 per cent . for the upkeep of the poor- law unions ? Where did the money go to ? Was it to the poor or to the officials ? ( A voice : " Officials ! " ) With regard to asylums , was it the inmates or the officials who got the 68 per cent . which farmers had to pay ? The farmer had to put up with bad seasons , and yet he was shot at in all sorts of ways . In reference to the Tuberculosis ( Cattle ) Order , the Chairman quoted from a report of a farmers ' meeting at Yeovil , where it was stated that the cost of administering that order was more than had been paid out in compensation : 8,162 animals had been slaughtered , and the compensation paid was £ 3,246 78. 2d . , while the cost of administra- tion was £ 8,552 10s . 7d . Of the number of animals slaughtered the report stated that only 22 were found to be giving tuberculous milk . That was an order which farmers ought to have stuck their backs up against . The Farmers ' Union had very little to say about it ; they did say something , or else the order might have been more stringent than it was . What was required was that far mers generally should combine and organise . and if they did that thoroughly they could alter the present state of things . MARKETS . POULTRY . Ross , Thursday . There was a great de mand for dressed poultry , and trade was brisk all round , with a fair number of dealers and buyers present . Dressed turkeys made The report upon " town - planning , housing , the aboli- NO DRINKS BY MAIL The question of whether or not Postmaster- General Pelletier was going to allow liquor to be W.C.T.U. Intoxicating liquor will not be allowed carried by parcel post has been settled for all timo to the unbounded joy of the Dominion " dry " towns who were calculating on getting to be transported by parcel post . Citizens of ahead of the municipal authorities and having their spirituous beverages imported without secrecy have already begun to cover their heads with ashes . Asked by an inquisitive preas what his reasons were for the mandate , Mr. Pelletier gave two reasons , the first , that he did not want to put temptation in the way of the postal employees ; and the second , becauso there were many places where the sale of liquor was prohibited because the people had decided that it should be so . " Am I going to thwart their wishes by allowing the transmission of liquor by parcel post into the districts where the people have said they do not want it ? " he asked . WHICH IS HIS DUTY ? An amusing action , of obscure origin and apparently without prospect of an early end , occupied the attention of the Practice Court before Mr. Justice Charbonneau . The suit is one in which the journal Le Pays claims the sum of $ 10,000 from L'Action Sociale , the Quebec clerical organ , on the grounds of an alleged libel published in the latter consisting chiefly of the statement that Le Pays was an anti - religious paper . Amongst the charges laid against Le Pays by L'Action Sociale are the following : Ridiouling Christian virtue ; favouring Mormon doctrines ; championing the love affairs and drunken out- bursts of Verlaine ; championing the nude in art ; upholding the lloen'ious romances of alzae ; preaching free love ; favouring anti religious views regarding the origin of man ; vilifying religious education , upholding anti - religious writers such as Flaubert , Anatole France . Liderot , Gabriel d'Annunzio , Mightelet , Victor Hugo , Renan . Tolstoi , Bebel , Marcol Prevost , and others ; and , worst of all , claimtog that theatres and moving pietur shows should be kept open on Sundays . Justice Charbonneau remarked that he wn refuse to sit on the case if it required his reain of the authors mentioned , on the grounds that h The Very Best THE 018 & REG ? PER LB.

" What had luck to do with such a marcher as that ?. He outpaced HOW TO CLEAN CARPETS . An excellent mode of cleaning carpeta which will brighten the colours and refresh the pile is to use soft soap and a little cream of tartar . They should be boiled together for several hours , poured out , and left to form a jelly . When you are about to clean your carpet or hearthrug , have ready two clean it up the hills . flannels , a large pan of lukewarm water , and the prepared soap jelly . Rub a portion of the carpet ( do it in bits , cleaning and rinsing one bit before treating further ) with the jelly , and when the dirt is removed rinse well with clean water , taking care not to make the carpet too wet . Rub it as dry as possible to prevent shrinking . If the day is warm , open your windows wide ; if chilly , burn a little Shut up the room , and the next day your carpet should look fresh and beautiful again . A carpet will last much longer if it is cleaned from time to time in this way , and is not allowed to become too dirty before it is washed . The dust and dirt are easily re- moved if they are but recently impregnated in the pile , and with the daily use of a earpet - sweeper , labour is considerably lessened , an alien queen .

Wall fruit trees which have been pruned and cleaned should be carefully tied up to the wires or nailed in as the case may be . In fan- trained trees the bottom branches must be brought out quite horizontally , and the re maining ones trained so as to taper gradually upwards . When dealing with young trees that are to be fan - trained cut out the pantre . stem , for to allow that to grow to the top of the wall and the branches to radiate from it is totally incorrect principle . By removing it at first the growths that break out from the other branches will cover the walls , and soon fill in the centre if judiciously pruned and trained in subsequent years . Prune back white jessamines severely to near the older wood , except when the Although autumn is the best time for strongest young shoots have to be nailed in to planting , no doubt there are many who extend them and cover more wall space .
