Thirdly, when pitching your tent, locate it so it will receive the rays of the early morning sun. This will have a warning effect on cool days and will help dry off the night's rain or dew. Fourthly, to carry •off water during a rain storm dig or scrape out a small trench 'all around. your tent close to the sides. Re- member• to slacken off the guy ropes if it starts to rain. This will save the tent pegs from be- ing pulled out of the ground by the shrinking of the canvas and ropes. In a wind storm hammer the pegs well down and tighten the guy ropes. AND most important;.-in order to prevent your tent being ruined by mildew, make certain that it is bone dry before packing or storing away. 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. SS;,, "PUZZLE COMBINED FORCES-Farms and factories combine. to contribute port of the nation's food supply.

HEFAIN FRONT Jokt 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 almots an endless variety of fillings, I remember the long line of UP SHE GOES-With an assist from Little Ricky Da'Oarr",°vNo:' 360 gets ready for its,Aast,ride, nboard a truck trailer.

'Toro ratite , novv74' 1.11-*,,(1 A 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, * * Details of these Methods of feeding growing turkeys are outlined in a mimeographed latilletiri entitled "The Feeding and Management of Growing Turkeys."

Moses instructed the - Judges and officers of Israel as follewst "Thou shalt not wrest 'Ittigment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift cloth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the right- eous." As I write, the United States Congress is investigating gifts received by a presidential aide from a rich industrialist. The government recognizes the truth of the Scripture just quot- ed. When they hear of such gifts they suspect that undue favors have been granted. The Missionary Standard 'of February, 1957, tells of Judge Li Wan Sung of Seoul, Korea, who became a Christian. He was a central figure in a city court case involving a bus company. He decided in favor of the company. *The next day officials of the company presented shim with a gift of candy and fruit. Under the fruit he found packets of money. He decided that this was a "belated" bribe to insure fa- vorable for the company in the future. He sent for the men and said, "I cannot accept the money.

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.
