I may be engrossed with the problem of whether to keep the steers over for feeding this winter when she’ll bear down into sight with a steaming lad­ le asking my opinion of taste as to . whether the pickles need more of a particular kind of spice. The screen door is literally black on the outside with flies. They’re all attracted by the odour of cooking and sweet syrup and biding their chance to get in. No matter how en­ grossed Mrs, Phil may be in her pre­ serving tasks, she is still guardian of the screen door and a person has to chase all the avenging horde away before he can enter the sacred domain of the kitchen. Should you escape her eagle eye and walk in with a thousand pesky flies, it means one thing .... get busy with fly-swatter and eradicate them. Her conversation on the party these days is limited to chats on the qualities of certain varieties of fruit; .... the new kind of quart sealers that Tim Murphy is selling down at his store in the village .... and some new recipe that’s she’s going to try with her pickles. In the evening I am grumblingly constrained into the service. While Mrs. Phil stands poised on the cellar steps with the light I must grope through the semi-darkness of the fruit cellar and add to the plunder. The peaches must go on the swing­ ing shelf .... the pickles have a place in that old cupboard .... and the apple-sauce goes on the first shelf over the table. Should I forget my­ self and. consign one load wrong place, it may mean at some future time. Just like last year. I was preoccupied about something was taking down the beets and in place of putting them on the table where I was told to I absent- few but the line to the trouble sort of when I for her [Jw Enjoy a Day or Two Here!I rK rr • Hill Attend Western Ontario's bright, busy, up- to-date exhibition* the gathering place of . big crowds and all that is best in agricul* ture, industry, home and other exhibits. | PRIZE LIST - $32,000 W. D. JACKSON, Secretary 139 rESTElB GTiF1 »i * sharply if I had mindedly slipped them up on the small swinging-shelf where the pre­ served pears are kept, Mrs. Phil ask­ ed .me rather placed them on the table and I as­ sured her that I did, thinking to rec­ tify the mistake on a subsequent trip. However they remained on the shelf. At supper time during a January evening I was told to get a sealer of pears from the shelf. Down I went and groping around reached up and picked off the first quart I could find. The light of the kitchen lamp revealed that I had brought up beets. Trying to hide the matter and know­ ing my own guilt I stuck off back for the cellar, but Mrs. Phil remem­ bering the incident took the sealer back herself. This year I am being watched quite closely to see that an incident of that nature does not happen again. But all in all I enjoy canning and preserv­ ing time.

Stanley Hall, principal of the High School, had written the following regarding these’ hair like snakes. He also supplied us with a sample which can be seen in our window. The Hair Snake or Hair Worm are often found as parasites in grasshop­ pers, crickets and other insects. They are by many uninformed people be­ lieved to be horsehairs that have “come to life” by soaking in water. The Rain Worm or Hair Worm (Mermis nigrescens) belongs to the Gordiacea or Hdifworms which is us­ ually considered as a group in the Round Worms or Nematoda phylum. They are long, thread-like worms. The adults occur mainly in fresh water and are often found in tangled masses. The writer has seen them in large numbers In small pools along the beach at “Bruce Beach”, The ad­ ults pair and the female lays eggs usually on plants under the water,, The eggs hatch into small worms or larvae. The larva bores its way into the host and lives in the body cavity until full grown, when they escape1 and become mature. | I ........................ I PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J.
