Use Of The Compass
In The Bush
Getting lost in the bush at any
time of the year can be much
more serious than most people
realize. So it's wise to remember
that having a compass with you
isn't an automatic and magic
protection against getting lost
unless you have been making
proper use of the compass. A
compass that has been in your
pocket all day might just as well
be left at home. Because the
chances are that it isn't going to
do you a bit of good to wait until
you're lost and then consult your
compass. Once you're lost, it may
not help much to know what
direction is north or south unless
you have been consulting your
compass previously and are cer-
tain of the direction in which you
have been traveling before you
got lost. If you have wandered
aimlessly from camp without
noting the direction you took in
the first place no compass can
point the way back home. So
whenever you are traveling in
unfamiliar bush ,country, con-
sult your compass frequently
on the way from camp and it
will always tell you the way
back. But if you wait until you
are lost, your compass then may
be of little use.

Picnics, in Vnrnpo,
And In .119.1.;;41.4.4
I have returned here recently
from a sunny holiday in Spam
with an idea of adding aaatro-
nomie interest to Lendon's parlcs
and. Mao's.. It's the Spaniah
"4'Oytxrreria," a. portable shop
rather 'WO a large Punch and
.Judy lacalt. which purveys a .cle,
lightful confection called "Letitia-
res."
The churreria is usually kept
by a husband and wife. Sitting'
by a fire of glowing red coala,
-the .Senora pours a batter into
a funnel and turns a handle. The
cream mixture comes out like a
long fluted sausage and is fried
in steamnig fat, Crisp and brown,
in rounds like a cualed hose pipe,
it has a luscous smell which
usually attracts buyers. before it
With a pair of scissors the
Senor cuts the confection into
pieces of four or five inches
long, dips them in powdered
tugar, and puts them into a
pointed paper bag.
It's a favorite Spanish break-
fast, but makes a , popular
"elevenses" for English visitors
who are not used to waiting
for Spanish lunches taken in the
middle of the afternoon.
The churreria holds its own
in the old fishing villages of
Spain though the American-style
ice cream parlor is taking its
place in the more sophisticated
tourist centres. 0.
Having eaten picnics and hotel
meals in southern France and
Spain for a fortnight I feel that
the . often-maligned English food
can give points to both Spanish
and French.
Here I realize I raise contro-
versial issues. I still feel the
English aandwich is one form of
food which takes a lot of beat-
ing, "Sandwich" is a word which
appears on most European menus,
Yet. good London snack bars
have pride in .the content and
comeliness of a sandwich and

cartons left in a Spanish coach
by the English people who had
been given peeked lunches by
their hotels, They abandoned
the cartons and went in search
of more interesting fare in a
restaurant,
The so-abed "sandwich" wa.l
the chief item in those packets,
This was a hard, rather dark
brown oval loaf slashed in half
with a slice of fat ham overhang::
lag its longitudinal slit, It w its
placed in the bag with one or-
z,nge (rather small and sour for
a country which sends such good
citrus fruits to England.), an un-
ripe peach, a few cherries, and a
triangle of processed cheese,
writes Melita Knowles in The
Christian Science Monitor.
In talking of picnics, how,
ever, I am reminded of one
which I enjued in northern
Portugal which could not have
been bettered had it come from
Fortnum and Mason, London's
prime and royal purveyors of
picnic hampers.
The lady of the hotel accom-
panied us in person. She brought
with her the head waiter and his
two assistants.
We went through five courses
from the hors d'oeuvres to petits
fours, with all the ceremony of
the hotel dining room, except
that we kept our places in the
coach.
Spanish families I have noticed
seem to have little time for cere-
mony in their picnics. Each mem-
ber takes his loaf cut in half
with an omelette stuffed into
the opening, and walks around
eating it. Fruits in season follow;
also consumed while perambulat-
ing. If the family is on the sea-
shore, father often catches fish
which is cooked over a wood fire.
A very different affair from
the French family picnic, the
accoutrements for which fill the
boot—or trunk—and rack of the.
auto. Trestle tables are cover-
ed with damask or linen table-
cloths; each of the grownups,
and sometimes the children, sit
on chairs. The table is filled to
overflowing, and the meal fol-
lows the pattern of a formal meal
at a French home.
So, tanned with Spanish sun-
shine, I return'-to English picnics
in lovely St. Jame's Park. I eat
the crisp green lettuce, the beet-
root, tomato, and hard-boiled
egg with the inevitable cucumber
sandwich, kept cool in an in-
sulated tartan bag.
The lake with its myriad wild
fowl, the banks of blue del-
phiniums and pink geraniums-
-all is soft and muted compared
with the vivid hues of the Span-
ish landscape.
Just two things I think Iwould
give London the best of both
worlds — a little more sun, and
a churreria.
Fishing Mistakes
One of the most glaring mis-
takes made by many anglers is
possilary the careless_ way they
approach a fishing spot. Here is
a tip to improve your fishing.
Come up to your fishing spot
quietly and with tact whether
stream or lake fishing. If in a
boat don't bang the gunwale
make 'noise. Drop 'the anchor
slowly and without splashing.
Far too' often we heat- the re-
a rnark, faorn rneful fisherman
when he has frightened a big fish
out, of exposed shallow water
"You should have seen the big
one I scared out that' time!"
LUCKY FELLOW"!
Two friends who hadn't seen
each other for a long time,
chanced to meet on Main St.
"You are looking very happy,a
said Joe.
"Why shouldn't I," said. Bill.
"I have a good job, fine home
and the best wife in the coun-
try."
"Well," said Joe, =Sing. "I'd
be happy too if my wife, was in
the conntry."

The information is based on
Dominion Bureau of Statistics
figures.
This means that the horses-
per-farm ratio has nosedived
from 4.85 in 1921 to 1.36.
And still the downward trend
continues.
* • *
At the same time, the increase
in tractor sales has been phe-
nomenal. There were 47,445
tractors on Canadian farms in
1921, and today there are over
half a million.
* * *
Economists point out that in
the overall picture, horses still
have the edge on tractors but
the gap is rapidly narrowing.
Latest calculation revealed 0.869
tractors per farm.
Taking DES figures on trac-
tor sales, the agricultural ex-
perts estimated that the Cana-
dian farmer had an average of
1.005 horse power at his dis-
posal in 1921 and two years ago
it had increased to 15.642.
* * *
The switch to mechanism-isn't
confined to Canada. In the
United States there are more
tractors than horses.
And, according to a dispatch
frOni Food and Agricultural
Organitation, United Nations,
the horse population of Europe
in 1955 was an average of 30
per cent below the pre-war
level. „
On one thing the experts
agree: Mechanization will dras-
tically thin the ranks of the
horse, but will never completely
stamp it out.

The extent to which coarse
grains are used in broiler ra-
tions should be dependent on the
price-energy relationship.
John R. Hunt of the Central
Experimental Parin i says, that
frequently* arid especially in cer-
tain sections Of the country, bar-
ley and oats are cheaper than
Wheat and born. iloweVer, they
have the disadvantage of a loWei
energy content.
4, 4, A,
The loW energy of barley arid
bath, mainly due to the high
fibre content of the hullo re-
duce§ the energy ValUe Of each
pound of feed. Nevertheless, it
is possible, according to Mr
to concentrate the energy'
in these feeda, by pelleting the
diet or by dehulling the grairtS
to lower" the fibre content of
the toqd,
Pelletirig ex periments have
shown that as much as 50 per
tent of the broiler ration May
be barleY,. provided the ration'
is' pelletecl. however, if barley,
is us ed 10 a large extent iri
broiler' rationsi, carcass finish
may be sacrificed slightly.
Experiments have also shown,.
that when corn is replaced by
dehulled barley, the growth of
birds receiving the dehulled
barley ration does not equal
the corn fed birds. Apparently
the chick is not able to utilize
the energy from barley to the
same extent as it can from corn.
* *
Analysis of these two feeds
indicates that they should have
comparable amounts of energy.
Researchmen have incorporat-
ed starch splitting chemicals
(enzymes) into the feed to aid
the chicks in' digesting barley
starch. Tests frequently show
beneficial results from such treat-
ment.
* *
Although this method of re-
leasing the energy of barley is
very promising, further research
is necessary to establish the
cause of lack of growth-response
to enzymes in certain cases.
In the highly competitive
business of raising turkeys, pro-
duction costs must be kept down
without sacrificing quality or
quantity of feed.
There are a number of feeding
systems that can be followed, in
Western Canada, according to
a report from the Experimental
Farm at Swift Current, Sask.
* * *
Listed were: all mash, mash
and whole grain, pelleted con-
centrate mixed with whole grain.
Some growers, if they have
grinding and mixing facilities,
prefer an all mash diet because
of the uniformity it allows. How-
ever, wind loss of feed under
exposed conditions can, at times,
be considerable.
* * *
The report noted that while
it is possible to have an en-
mesh diet pelleted, the process
adds to the cost and is avail-
able only to those growers rea-
sonably close to a feed mill.
* * *,
Mash can be added to powder-
ed protein-mineral-vitamin con-
centrate and fed in' conjunction
with whole grain. But it is diffi-
cult to make a satisfactory mix
on the farm:
* 4, 4,
With use of whole grain and
a pelleted concentrate, it is
simpler to make a uniform mix
of pellets and whole grain and
in addition there is no loss from
wind. This system also
ates the cost and trouble of
grinding grain,

GAVE HER FITZ
Charming Helen Fitzsimmone
attributes her happy marriage
to Fat Freddie (Giant coach) te
a plate of fudge. As a girl, she
lived in Indianapolis One day a
little colony of ball players
moved into a vacant house across
the street, They were all nice
clean-cut young fellows, and
naturally they kept giving het
the eye. But Helen only had
eyes for Freddie — who studi-
ously ignored her.
Finally, she decided to do
something about it. She made tin
a big batch of fudge and sent
it over on a plate. Sure enough
some time later the plate was
returned in person — by Fred-
die.
"Gee," smiled Helen happi-
ly, "I'm so glad it was you who
brought the plate back,"
"Well," said Freddie, "we had
to draw straws to see who'd
do the honor."
"I'm so glad you won," gush-
ed Helen.
"Lady," replied Freddie, "I
lost."
