DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Sir,—Kindly allow me space to put in a word for country children with regard to daylight saving. We will leave out of the question those whose parents have large herds and machines and men to help (such as " A Cockie's Bet.ter Half" has), and consider the case of those less fortunate, whoso parents milk a comparatively small herd, say, from 25 to 35 cows, and all thn family has to help. These have usually few conveniences, and the children have to riso and help, and often on spring mornings have to get the cows in by wading through frozen mud. They often have little time for breakfast and just have to bolt for school. Some children not only have to ride fair distances, but to put in one to two hours in or around tho cowshed morning and night. In short, dairy farmers' children have to rise early in order to let town children get more sport. The daylight is there in any case for all to use. Another Country Mother.
