Peel and halve them, hollow the center, and fill, with any of the following: crab meat and French dressing; currant or mint jelly; cottage cheese topped with mara­ schino cherry; Roquefort cream cheese; Philadelphia or pimento cream cheese fluffed up with a bit of milk or cream, to which mixture add chopped nut meats; anchovy paste: chopped green pepper; chopped stuffed olives; chopped celery; pulverized ginger snaps. Onion salt, celery salt, paprika and lemon juice give a dash of flavor. If mayonnaise is used, beat in a little cream or whipped cream. If pears are properly ripe,' the flesh will yield to gentle pressure of your thumb; if not ripe, keep in open air in kitchen until ripe, even if it requires several days, as in* creased juiciness and flavor is worth the wait.

Fisher If there was one event I enjoyed more than another in the delightful days of my boyhood it was those col­ orful two days of the Wingham Fall Fair. I got a rare thrill out of the entire show aryd at the age of six­ teen was one of the prouiTexhibitors, To watch the officials in serious cau­ cus here and there, in groups of two or three, bearing with pride upon the left lapel of their coats, the import­ ant word “Judge”, gave me an insight into human character. And to come across a bearded son of Turnberry whose red badge bore the word “Dir­ ector” was to be inspired with rev­ erential awe. I was greatly interest­ ed in seeing sheep judged. Here again, part of the John Dinsley meth­ od seemed to prevail; as the sheep­ owners holding the innocent animal by the neck, first with the right hand and then with the left, fluffed up the wool with the idle hand to make the sheep appear. larger than it was. There was much activity along this line as the judge was approaching. How true the Scriptures are, “Mari looketh on the outward appearance,”' and even in profane history we find that Pliny said “It is the natural pro­ pensity of man to falsify.” The judge arriving looks critically at the quad­ ruped and- the hopeful herdsman dares one more fluff-up as the sheep says “Ba!” The judge feels strongly''with his powerful grasp of the hand, to make sure that living mutton is actu­ ally back of the wool and then holds a mumbled conference with his fel­ low judge. To eye sharply the judg­ es, it would appear that laughing Jack preferred number five, while laughing Jim liked number which case a red ticket was the neck of number three. Thinking of sheep reminds sheep-shearing, which was a very in­ teresting outdoor sport. Boys around Lucknow — little fellows — used to straddle the sheep in the water and have great fun; and if expected home for dinner sharply at twelve they were there on the tick. I mentioned my brother once or twice in articles and I cannot refrain from telling here a joint incident in our illustrious lives in'the long ago. Among John’s multi­ farious equipment for the prosecuting of his various undertakings was a pair of sheep-shears. One fine day in ear­ ly summer I was commissioned to be his ‘helper at this art of clipping sheep. It took place in a field in Lower Town to the left of Cameron’s corner. The field was grassy but quite uneven and contained a" consid­ erable number of small shrubs, but few trees. As I remember the occa­ sion there was but one victim to come under the spell of the springy shears on,,that warm summer afternoon. We got the sheep down on its side and it was my unvaried duty to keep its neck to the ground while John clipped and clipped away. It was the first “necking” I had ever done, and too much cannot be expected of an am­ ateur. John, as in horse-racing was going a fast clip. The sheep was ir­ ritable as a teething baby and pant­ ing like a horse after a heat. We were both bending over it like lovers looking for fish off a bridge. By this time the fleece was almost half off and, as in a barber’s chair, a shift was necessary to accommodate the clip­ per, so the sheep had to be shifted to get at the other side. Without warning, she sprang from my feeble hold, to her feet and dashed down the field, John ran after the sheep, vainly calling “Nan, Nan, Nan.” I ran after John. We circled the lumpy Flavorful Baked Apples Tn baking apples, select Apple quality, and bake in baking dish (not tin).

Surround apples with syrup made of sugar and water flavored with lemon juice, or melted cinnamon, candies; or syrup made of one cup maple sugar and 1% cup water and 2 T. sugar. Bake in slow oven until tender, basting sufficiently. Serve hot or cold in own syrup with cream or whipped cream.

John chased his fleeing* female with the old time speed with which he ex­ celled himself ai shinny. ’ The sheep having headed to the east was now bounding to the west and had placed of her snow-white lingerie on bush after bush in rather a care­ less fashion. As she was now, she would scarcely be passed by motion picture censors for a reel. Initially we got her at bay, looking as though she had been out the night previous. If her mother could have seen her she would have been ashamed of her. Eventually the rest of the fleece was clipped off and the multitude of frag­ ments gathered from the bushes. From that day forward I always understood why it was that slivers various sizes, are to be found woollen underwear. Easter Report, S.S. No, 7, Morris Honours 75%. Pass 60%.

The new variety has been named “Kabott” and was obtained as the result of several years selection within a mixed lot of seed which originally came from Man­ churia. . The new variety has been tested on a number of the Dominion Experi­ mental Farms and was, found to be about 10 days earlier in maturity thap the Canadian Mandarin variety. At the Lennoxville Experimental Station in 1936 the new variety created such a favourable impression that requests for seed have already been received from a number of farmers in the vi­ cinity. Kabott is a yellow-seeded var. iety qapable of producing good yields of fodder or seed. Only a limited quantity of seed of this new variety was obtained from last year’s crop and it is being used to increase the am- In the year of grace 1700 Parlia­ ment enacted the following tasty bit of legislation: “That all women, of whatever age, rank, profession or de­ gree; whether virgin, maid or widow, that shall from and after such act impose upon and betray into matrix mony any of His Majesty’s subjects, by means of scent, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops or high-heeled shoes shall incur the pen­ alty of the law now in force against witchcraft and like misdemeanors and that the marriage upon conviction shall stand null and void.” The doctor met Mrs. Brown in the street. “How is you husband sleeping now Mrs. Brown?” lie asked. “Did you give him the sleeping draught?” “Yes, sir,’ ’she replied. “You told me to give him the amount I could get on a small nickel, but as.I hadn’t any silver I used five pennies and lie’s been sleeping for five days."
