To city, Town and Village Dwellers in Ontario
Vegetable arden.
for Every a. erne

effort Britain and her
armies must have ample
supplies of food, and
Canada is the great
source upon. which they
:wen 'rely. Everyone with a few
-- square feet of ground call',x `•�contribute to victory by

Four Patriotic Reasons
' for Growing Vegetables
x. It saves money that you would otherwise spend for
vegetables. -
2. It_lielps to lower the "High cost of living."
3. It helps to enlarge the urgently needed surplus of
produce for export.
4. Growing your own vegetables saves labor of others
whose effort is needed for other vital war work.
The Department of Agriculture will help you
The Ontario Department of Agriculture appeals to
Horticultural Societies to devote at Least one evening
meeting to the subject of vegetable growing; manu-
facturers, labor unions, lodges, school boards, etc., are
invited to actively encourage Itotne gardening. Let the
slogan for 1917 be, "A vegetable garden for every home.”
Organizations are requested to arrange for instructive
talks by practical gardeners on the subject of vegetable
growing. In cases where it is impossible to secure suitable local
speak( rs, the Department of Agriculture will, on request, send a
suitable than.
The demand for speakers will be great. The number of available
experts being limited, the Department urgently requests that
arrangements fornr:cting; be tirade at once; it'local speaker* cannot
be secured, send applications protnptly.
The Departn?eut suggests the formation of trice] orgaulcatiene to
stimulete the work by offering prizes for best vegetable gardeue.
It is prepared to aseistin any possible way any organization tint
may b: condnetiug a campaign for vegetable production on vacant
lots. It will do so by sending speakers, or by supplying expert
advice in the field.
To any one interested, the 1)epartinent of .Agriculture will sciel
literature giving instructions about implements nece:saty and
methods of preparing the ground and cultivating the crop. A. plan
of a vegetable garden indicating suitable crops to gro1k', beet
varieties and their arrangement in the garden, will be cent free of
charge to any address.
Write for Poultry Bulletin
Ilens are inexpensive to keep, and you v i11 be highly relaid in
fresh eggs. Write for free bulletin which tells liuw to keep hens.

11'11e board illustrated was suggested
by a device used by a "sandwich man,"
and proved practical for use in the

aliced, are placed in the hollow portion
of the board and moved against the
edge at the right, under the 'knife.

CANADA'S WHITE ESKIMOS
Strange, Fierce Habits of Humorous
Northern Dwellers Described
After passing three years in the
Arctic regions, George 1'f. Wilkins, an
Australian who was a member of the
Stofansson Expedition, arrived in
England with a choice selection of
stories about the so-called "Blonde
Eskimos" with whom he lived a con-
siderable time. "The Blonde Eskimos,"
he said, "are quite untouched by West-
ern civilization, and their habits and
customs are essentially primitive.
They are not a long•lived race, and
fifty years is perhaps the normal span.
Human lift is very little valued
alnon.gst them, and what civtliced
people elaes as murder is regarded as
a more or less harmless eccentricity."
Visiting a camp where he had made
friends with an Eskimo a few months
before and not finding flim, Mr.'Wil-
kins inquired otter his health. Ile
was told that the roan was dead, and
the planner of his (tenth was this.
One day the l'•sslcimo earns across a
member of the tribe fashioning a knife
ant of the native copper which is
found in this region. Tfe chaffed him,
it appears, on his want of skill. "You
don't know the first thing about mak-
ing a knife," he said, he effect. The
artificer said nothing until bo had
finished his work, when, rentarking
"I think it is a pretty good knife,"
he, plunged it into the breast of the
crit.ir,. Tho T skiwus have a keen
sense of humor, and this incident was
much appreciated.
Tbere is a ceremopy of marriage
among these Eskimos, but apparently
the number of a man's wives is limited
only by his capacity to support them.
The regular price for a wife is a rifle
or 12 mouths' hard labor in the ser-
vice of the prospective bride's family.
It is only rarely that a rifle eau be
obtained from the Indians to the south,
and the price paid for it, in skins,
practically represents a year's activity
in hunting. Some of the more opulent
Eskimos possess three wives. 'One is
chosen for her personal attractions,
another for her prowess as a- hunter
and fisher, while the third does the
housework.
