Dairy farmers in Central Ontario will be hit by the reduction in the yield of fodder corn as grain, yields on many farms in this section were also below normal and a large num­ ber are finding it necessary to pur­ chase feedstuffs in an effort to pro­ duce a normal supply of fluid milk this winter. The European corn borer was much more numerous this fall in the eastern part of Ontario and in the County of Essex, but in the areas where drought occurred, an improvement is reported. For in­ stance, in Norfolk County, where drought was intense, borers were only about one-third as numerous as in 1933, from this cause. The amount of damage caused by these animals var­ ies greatly from year to year, de­ pending largely upon their avail­ able supply of food. Galvanized wire screen makes the most effective protection. The initial cost is high, but as it only has to be placed once and will last for a large number of years, it will be found cheaper in the long run.

Horseshoe Pitchiu For the first time in many years a large part of Old Ontario was vis­ ited by a severe drought last sum­ mer. The more obvious effects of this lack cf rain has been, of course the .curtailment, of crop yields, but there were other serious effects which were not so obvious during the dry spells but are showing up now. ■ According to a report made by Trof. O. McComkey of the Ontario Agricultural College, “farmers in some sections of the province have been experiencing difficulties be­ cause the feeds grown on their farms are too low in the essential miner­ als to maintain healthy stock. Ani­ mals show symptoms of mineral de­ ficiency tro-ubles by depraved appe­ tite, i.e., chewing bones and sticks, lack of thriftiness, decline in milk production’, and breeding troubles. An analysis of 105 samples -of hay 'from different farms in Ontario showed that the protein content ranged from 5 per cent, to 21.75 per cent, and the calcium content from .22 to 3.99, while the phosphorus content ranged from .08 to .22. Ac­ cording to recognized authorities on this subject hay should contain at least .16 per cent, phosphorus and .7 of calcium. The above survey shows that some farms are producing hay which is 4 times higher in protein than others . and that a considerable percentage of the hay is too low in the essen­ tial minerals to maintain healthy animals. Where drought has occurred min­ eral deficiencies will be more acute during the coming winter. Feeds will probably contain less phosphor­ us than usual, and it will be a wise precaution to start feeding a recog­ nized mineral supplement early in the stable feeding period to prevent trouble and loss. Turkeys in Winter Breeding turkeys should not confined to houses during the winter months but allowed to roam at will during the day. The only shelter that is required for them at night is a straw barn or closed in shed. They should not be .kept in a draughty place, but any building that will provide shelter from wind, rain and snow is quite suitable. Never house turkeys with hens or in heated houses because colds later develop into roup are sure to follow, months receive have a if well given in preference to 'ground grains. Equal parts oats, wheat and buckwheat quite suitable during the months, but when the weather mod­ erates in spring, t’he buckwheat should be discontinued.

J. CLATWORTHY hold club over we need GRANTON PHONE 12 Mice Injure Orcliards ■One of the (greatest hazards in growing of an apple orchard is the danger of girdling by mice. 1 This is especially true in orchards under sod culture, although even orchards uu*- der clean cultivation are frequently subject to considerable damage Clothes do not make the man— so we have been told ever since we were old enough to wear garments Nor do accessories and garnishes make the food we eat—another tru­ ism that we .have heard much of since we were old enough to cook. On both o;f these scores we have a little corner of our minds which says contradictorily, “Maye clothes don’t make t'he man, and maybe gar­ nishes don’t make the roast, but. they go a long way toward maiking life more interesting.” We have to look to the part of our mind which won’t accept a truism as wholly true. Then we start to think of food without garnishment, plain and unembellished. It would still be food, no dou'bt, but t'he joy ■of eating’ it would be gone1. We would not feel a little wave of pleasure at seeing a lovely dish appear before, us, colorful and attractive in ar­ rangement. We wouldn’t think of our menu as a color picture into which each food must blend. We wouldn’t have the joy of achieving something new and different in the way of a garnish that would make our friends say, “Susan is so origin­ al. I wish I could think of things that a million other people hadn’t thought of before me!” No, food wouldn’t be the same without the little touches, he furbelows, the plus gestures, the added attractions. Cookery wouldn’t be fun if we did not put the accent on accessories. For Soups—creamed ones espec­ ially—croiutons, of course, pop corn if you like, cheese toast, grated raw carrots, toasted shredded almonds, Rice Krispies, salted whipped cream grated cheese or tiny cheese cubes, whipped cream cheese, finely choppt- ed green peppers and the good O'ld standbys, parsley and paprika. Be sure to keep your min'd’s eye color­ conscious and accent your light soups with bright garnishes, your gay soups with light garnishes— grated raw carrots on potato soups, salted whipped cream on cream of tomato. 4 For Salads—tiny pimiento rings or strips, finely chopped green pep­ pers or chives, shred.s Of Swiss cheese all bran, match sticks of carrots, wafter thin slices of sweet pickle, sl’ces of hard cooked eggs or finely riced yolk, grated raw 'beets, nuts whole, shredded or chopped, water­ cress, curly endive, tomato slices', thin- strips of truffles, celery hearts, chicory, tiny cubes of cream cheese, anchovy fillets, lemon with fish sal­ ads and parsley—long may it wave! Just to show you what the little touches can dO' for food, we give you a ready-to-eat breakfast cereal, add a bit of fussing, and presto! we have a creation that makes breakfast fun for even the sleepiest of us.

Former Exeter Girl Now a Resident of Czechoslovakia A journey to Czechoslovakia, re­ luctantly taken in 1927, and a pros­ pective year’s residence that has stretched into ten, form the back­ ground for the ILouis Hornat, a . „ . 1 who has become a devoted and loyal resident .of the ' country. I Mrs. Hornat was a recent guest in London. She went abroad from Winnipeg, with her husband, who was born in Czechoslovakia. But she comes of Western. Ontario stock. She is a daughter of Mr. and 'Mrs. Wm. Down, now members of (family, who ty, and she .Mrs. Clive 'Trothan, of Elmwood av­ enue, London, is a sister of Mrs. Hornat; the Misses Emmaline and Pauline Down, of Reetorj” .street, are her aunts. With these relatives she was recently a guest before sailing to rejoin her husband in Czechoslo­ vak!. Freda Hornat didn't want to go to Europe, she told th© Free Press. She was appalled by the prospect of strange country, a strange people, an unknown tongue. When her hus­ band was transferred, by the C.P.R. from Winnipeg, to his country, it was her grandmother who told that she must go, too1, stuff of which 'Devonshire are made. And so, on the last day 1927, Louis Hornat and his rived in Prague. Channing City “Looking back in my mind on this romantic of cities, I find myself at a loss for words with which to •describe its charm." Mrs. Hornat said. “Inexpressably beautiful is the 'fairyland situation of this city on the Vitava, with its line of un­ even heights, picturesquely crowned by the castle. In the “Old Town” the narrow, cobbled, stone alley are 'full of mystery. The shops are vaulted, a type of achitecture in 'use hun­ dreds ef years ago. Many .of them are ever 500 years old. Old Prague is full of ancient palaces and chur­ ches; narrow staircase streets and beautiful gardens.” The Hornats went to Ceslkiy Krurn- lov, the town in which Louis Hornat was born and in which his parents still lived. “They took me to their bosom and were very kind to me in every way, though at first our conu versation had to be carried on with hands and eyes.” (Freda Hornat was terribly home­ sick.
