WING RAM ADVANCEMMES PAGE SEVEN• * * The Eve of St. Valentine's is favor- able for love dreams! If a girl pins a bay leaf to the four corners of her pil- low and one leaf in the centre, she will most certainly find herself walking with her sweetheart in that fair land where the Sandman is King. At least our fair ancestors believed, and who would be so bold as to say they were wrong? Custom prompts us to celebrate our awareness of the "open secret" . by pretty representations of hearts and arrows; though, alack, our modern sophisticated cards are not always just what they should be. But then, even Victorian Valentines were not always as kind as one could have wished. Here is one that must have caused many a tear to some maid- en:. Sit and stitch, from morn till night, For it's all you are fit for, you ugly fright; You need never think to marry, For no man would incline To have a needle driver ^For a Valentine, An 'Elizabethan poet phrased it much more aptly when Ile wrote of his beloved: "My lips I'll softly lay Upon your heavenly cheek, Dyed like the dawning day, As polish'd ivory sleek: And in your ear I'll say, 'Oh, thou bright morning star! `Tis that I come so far My Valentine to seek," Penalty Brooks, Overtime 13, Wingham Johnson ,.Q1 14, Brussels, Rolles. 7,08 Penalties, Lowe, Cruickshank Lineups, Wingham-Goal, Zulauf; defence, Gorbutt, Cruickshank, centre, Foster; wings, Pyin, Baker; alternat- es, Brent, Brooks, French, Fry, John- son, Logan, Brussels-Goal, Gillis.; de- fenee,,Lowe, King; centre, Rolles; wings, Riley, Willis; alternates, Nich- ol, Scott, J.

FARM BEST PLACE TO RAISE GEESE The raising of a flock , of geese on the farm can be made a profitable un- dertaking because geese are compara- tively inexpensive to feed and are al- most immune to diseases common to other barnyard fowl. They require only cheap houses and the cheapest feed the farm produces. Where there is plenty of grassland, breeding geese will get along nicely, from early spring to late in the,fall with little grain feed- ing. Geese are grass eaters and will leave grain in the feeding trough to pluck the tender grass when it is avail- able, says 'A. G. Taylor, Poultry Div: ision, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. During ,the winter months when there is snow on the ground and the supply of fresh green feed is not avail- able, the geese should be supplied 'with a handful of mixed grain each day and as much well cured 'alfalfa or clover hay as they will consume. If the hay is out green and well cured, they will eat both the leaves and stalks, They pre- fer the leaves and an attempt should be made to provide them with as Much of this as they require. They will eat leaves of lettuce, cabbage, potato peel- ings, turnips ,carrots or almost any green vegetable. When this green feed is fed, it should be supplied fairly lib- erally and the grain ration restricted accordingly. Grain may consist of oats, barley, corn and wheat of equal parts, and the best time to feed it is early in the evening. About the end of February or early, 'in March or about three weeks before the females arc wanted to lay, a wet mash should be fed twice daily and the grain feeding as before. This change in feeding practice' should commence Just as soon es the weather starts to get mild and laying will commence in about three week's time, Geese should be mated one male to two or three females, and this should be done preferably in January. A bul- Itin on "Goose Raising" explaining the method of selecting breeding birds and .how they should be handled can be obtained by writing to Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Goose eggs should be hatched either by the goose or by barnyard hens as they do not hatch well in modern in-. cubators, Goslings are easily raised, require very little attention, and a gos- ling once hatched and properly started is usually another goose in the fall. The farm is the natural habitat of the goose, in fact no other surroundings can make goose raising for market a paying proposition, ST, VALENTINE'S DAY There is a tradition that the little god of Love was once stung by a bee and, in startled fright at the unusual pain, dropped his bow and arrow and ran to his mother full of protest and tears. Aphrodite, however, merely smiled and told him that he, who was respon- sible for hurting so many people every day of the year,' should have small reason to complain at a single wound from so inconsequent an insect, It is of little use trying to discover why the perilous day should ever have been associated with the unfortunate Bishop Valentine who, in the second century. was first chastised and then beheaded-but February 14 is solidly entrenched in the hearts of the love- lorn as Lovers' Day, and will probably remain so forever. * * * One of the quaint customs that the Victorians firmly believed was the 'be- lief that the first boy that a girl sees on leaving her home must be her Val- entine for the' year, and would have the right throughout the ensuing twel- ve months to ,demand many a charm- ing privilege. Some fearful ladies could not be per- suaded to leave their homes on Feb- ruray 14 until they had found out be- yond doubt that there was no chance of an unwanted encounter, • As far back as 1754, we read of this maidenly anxiety: FOR PIPE OR • ROLLING YOUR OWN HURON OLD BOYS ANNUAL MEETING Junior and Senior Asiociation Joined The Forty-Fifth Annual Meeting of the Huron Old Boys Association of Toronto was held in December and under the new plan a Committee was elected from whom the officers of the Association have now been elected, The principal business at the Annual.
