PRINCIPALS OF GRADING
The grading of rano produW1§,
is hafted as .the priseptlle that it
is sound business to claestry live
stock in su011 a Way that the eon -
Mailer will be able to recognize
and purchase quality protlueLa, 'mid
that the price premiums whish the
consumer will pay for the bsteei'
grades should be returned lo th

proven the value of the theory in-
volved in the grading int:._tpie
Grading activities have bean tt
tremendous incentive to quality
production, with resultant .price
be•neiit to pl•nducere.
GATHER EGGS OFTEN
Eggs should be gathered at
least twice a eey, and three limes
daily is better miring hot weather.
The tlaue of one gathering should
be just betare dark o1' as near to
it as practicable. This last
gathering may not produce a
great number or eggs, Mee since
broody hens will commonly search
out the nest con:alning eggs after
the clays' laying has ceased, failure
to gather late in the day is ' a
common •source of distinct deterior-
ation,

in the coolest part of the • cella'
if no other cool spot is 'ova:la''le,
as soon as gathered, Eggs should
net be put Into cartoons or cases
immediately if this can be avoided,
The ideal container for cooling
eggs is a wire tray. A wire basher
is bile next best, and perhaps. the
most praotical. These baskets are
't'aste paper containers,

a great deal or trouble is usually
experienced with hairlessness in

Photographing Home Made
Hollywood Miniature 'Sets'
This was not photographed In the wilderness but on a table top In the
home of an amateur photographer. The "lake” is a ,mirror.
A S ALMOST every motion pie-
ture goer knows, the Hollywood
audios are continually fooling us
these days with scenes photo-
graphed in miniature, such as a vil-
lage street, a castle in Spain, a
rural winter snow scene, a ship at
sea, an airplane wreck and what net
else. So cleverly are these miniature
"sets” designed and photographed
that in the picture their lack of re-
ality defies detection, and when we
are let in on the secret, we do not
mind at all. Indeed we admire the
achievement.
Have you ever tried :creating
miniature scenes yourself and
photographing them with your
own camera? It's fun. Depending
upon your skill, artistic ability and
the materials you employ, you may
construct and photograph miuiattlre
sets In your own home that will
rival the semblance of reality
achieved in Hollywood; or, if you
prefer, you may create scenes df
fantasy, comedy or burlesque to
compare with a "shot" in au animat-
ed cartoon.
For a "still" camera, this is really
nothing else than table -top photog'
raphy, such as has long been prac-
ticed by amateurs, but which new
Is photographically much easier for
the amateur than it used to be, bo -
cause of the recent introduction for
Lome use of more powerful artificial
lighting. At least for tabletop pho-
tography you can very cheaply with
two or three of these brighter home
Rood light bulbs rival the lighting
equipment of Hollywood studios,
and, what is More, do good Work
with an inexpensive fixed -focus cam-
era, provided you use a portrait at-
tachment to secure the necessary
close-up focus,
Constructing one of these sets re-
quires, of course, a certain amount
of time and patience, with the ex-
pense depending upon the materiae
you put into it. Very amusing
scenes may be created, however,
without introducing elaborate de-
tails. Here are a few suggestions
for the materials:
White or light gray cardboard
makes "sky"; a mirror snakes a
lake; twigs and small plants make
trees and hedges; moss serves for
grass; chalk, salt or flour for snow;
toy automobiles, trains, boats, air-
planes, houses, human and animal
figures may be obtained at the five-
and-dime store. If you are handy
with tools, you can fashion various
"props" yourself, using soft wood,
or you can use plastic modeling
materials.
A few points relative to the pho•
tography:
Working at close range, the depth
of field of the leas is not likely to
be great, so, m building your set,
peep the elements within as elsort a
distance, front to back, as possible.
Yon get the best effects by using
the lens at a small opening. Better
make about three "shots" of a set-
ting, varying the exposure time, to
be sure of obtaining a perfect nega-
tive. Focus exactly.
You will have a lot of fun play-
ing with the light. Sometimes a
single strong flood light will give
you what you want, Again, you may
want one figure to stand Out brit•
liantly with everything else sub -
clued, For this a large piece of card-
board with a Bole in it will provide
a spotlight. Panchromatic film gives
the best rendering.

Soil Test
The matter of soil testing has
been prominently to 'tile fare i11
some counties for •salve time,
Da'. Christie, the president of the
Qaial'i.o Atgricultural Calelge la .dist.
cuiaa n'g the situation recently,
stated that while soil cle»tetio I is
not such a se1'loue matter in On-
tario as tt ie iu NOM ,harts of the
West, it Is common knowledge that
lrially Ontario 'cans have been
alined and mired until there is
but .111110 fertility remaining.

100 years, In some cases there

farms have become increaslugly
Preduotive, But on the other hand
many have been thoroughly mined,
softs have become poor, hard to
work, and give low yielding crops.
And then as Dr, Christie has cx.
planned there are the farms on..
which good practice has been fol-
lowed but in spite of that fact,
fertility has become unbalanced.

To The •Farming Men
Out of the soil whose life 1s ever-
lasting,
You bring our visions to reality:
You, prove to ns that seedtime fol-
lows harvest,
Aud earth produces fruit recurring,
You tend for us the roots of life im-
planted
Deep in the land, that from the pa-
tient sod,
We may have life and sustenance
and freedom—
And what is more you give us
faith in God!
Long, long before the bridges traced
the skyways'.
And chimneys scattered shadows in
bright air,
When there was only gentle grass
in Eden,
And little labor, yon were walking
there!
Through ninny ages while men
mined and bladed,
Learned much of ideas and sears
and singing stream,
And harnessed light to re-create
tts lower,
Some gave bile food -some wrestled
with the dreamt.
Oh, you who know so well the
earth's rich secrets,
You are the heart of all the work
we try;
'Tis you who give us strength for
attempting
To !Hake a world whose spires shall
sweep the sky.
Your hands lie deep !a
which creation
Takes nourishment, the while its
vision goes
To seek a higher plane of federa-
tion.
Yours in the truest
bestows!
