Nevertheless, Metchnikoff died at 71—a year only over the allotted three score and ten of tradition.

IN THE GARDEN Seed. While cleaning up one often finds some seed left over from last year and is tempted to use it. This is doubtful economy. Fresh seed, after all, costs only a few cents a packet, and yet all the care and work we put into our gardening absolutely depends upon the quality of the seed. Some seed, too, must be brand new each year or it will not grow, arid in all cases it must be properly and care- fully stored. And as for seed saved from One's own garden, it IS a most doubtful proposition, because it is almost sure to produce a mixture of all sorts of shades, colors and varieties. Indeed if the original seed used was from hybrids, as is often the case, the progeny will not resemble the parents at all. It is best to leave the breeding of new varieties to the plant scientists who know what they are trying to accomplish. Many of the modern varieties now sold come from hand-pollinated plants which are tended with precise care. An Herb Garden Practically all the common herbs can be grown in the Can- adian garden and usually in the poorest part of it provided it gets full sun. Grown as an- nuals, unless they are taken in for the winter, are rosemary. tarragon. sweet marporam and dill. Truly perennial are thyme, sage, chives and the mints (ap- ple, orange, Peppermint and spearmint). Parsley is peren , nial, but the finest flavor comes froM plants that are started every season. Soak the seed overnight to hasten germina- tion. *foots To enjoy As we Move toWards July the ,crease now in prospect is not expected to raipe bottled milk prices at retail, .Me'. Baker said, because dairies had already in- creased their retaill price by one,. cent a quart last spring, Supply and Price Promising in Hog outlook . Long run „prospects for hog pro- ducers continue to brighten. ,Last week the graded hog 14.11, fell to 109.3 thousand head down from the previoua week and from the same week a; year earlier. The drop in. production has been in the West. At mid-June gradings for 1963 in the four western prov- inces were down 30% from last year. Even with nearly a 10% increase in the East, total was down 3,6%, (over a quarter million hogs) from last year. After last year's high prices. this In- dicates that hog producers! re- sponse to good prices, has become. more moderate. -Bigger hog oper- ations and better *formed; farmers seem to be bringing More stability to supply, Present Outlook indicates the 1.7S market will add further stability to hog prodtction. Prospects there sug- gest the next two years will be a period of- fairly steady supply and good prikes ranging from .$2.1 to 523 (Corn belt, dressed equivalent.) At the some time' Canadian hog producers have several advantages over their US Corn Belt counterparts even though their feed costs. per ton, .may be higher. Canadian hogmen save an average of one more pig Per litter; leaner type• Canadian hogs require less feed per pound, gain.. Mr-. :no. Ilqliott main gardening jobs are over and we should just lean back and take things easy. With warm weather we should cut the lawn less often and a week- ly or 10-day= cultivation of flowers and vegetables will be all that is necessary. To con-. serve moisture we can mtach, With grass clippings, straw, ' and this also keeps down weeds, If we are going away on boll- days it is a good plan to shear off bloom from alyssum, petun- ias, etc., and a fresh supply of flowers will be starting when we return. Shrubs, fruit trees, vines, etc., should not be culti- vated or watered so that new growth will get a chance to ma, tare before fall, and- thus win- ter without injury. But all of this does not mean that gardening should come to a complete stop in July. Even at that date in most parts of Canada it is still not too late to make third or fourth sow- ings of such vegetables as beans, carrots, beets, lattice, arid in some areas even garden peas. They will grow quickly in the summer and should be ready for the table towards the end of August and early Sep- tember. Gatden Tour One of the greatest pleasures in the flower garden comes from a five minute tour. before the day',,, work begins, or in the evening. This not only gives you the satisfaction of seeing fresh neer blooms each day but also serves to check the condi- tion of every plant. A wilted stem. a curled leaf, a ragged edge in the foliage all point to damage in its earliest stage. If you get busy and kill that bug or water that drooping plant you can keep everything grow-ing and- preVerit injury from spreading to the Other plants,
