Tangy
Salads
are easily ob-Piquant salads
tained by combining tangy flavors
to stuff fresh Anjou pear halves.
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*

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

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

From that day forward I always

A new variety of soy-beans,, pro

Plants, Experimental Farms Branch,
Dominion Department of Agriculture,
will be distributed for the first time
this coming spring. 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

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."
Young man: “Why do you keep a
parrot?”
Very Old Man: “Because I like to
hear it talk. The parrot is the only
creature gifted with the power of
speech that is content to repeat just
what it hears without trying to make
a long story of it.”
