Live Stock and Household
Science Judging Competition
Classes Well Filled at Blyth— Mies
Edna McCall and Miss Florence
Stewart, of Brussels, Win Second
and Third Prizes in Competition.
The above competitions were held
for the first time in Huron County.
on Wednesday, July 20th at Blytn.
The..ee competitions organized by the
Agricultural Representative's De-
partnumt, Clinton, and ably assisted
by the Institutes Branch, Toronto,
were new to many of the young men
and women of the country but, never-
theless, the attendance and interest
shown at so busy a season of the
year world indicate a great future
for this work.
While the number of boys taking
part in the competition was com-
paratively small due to the very goal
haying weather, yet the twenty that
turned out die] excellent work and it
is to be hoped that next year e more
favorable season will be chosen and
that a larger attendance may be re-
corded.
The beautiful .cup and silver medal
generously donated by Messrs. C. A.
Robertson and W. G. Medd for first
and second boys in all classes of Life
stock were won by Eldon Stoltz, of
Auburn, and Orval McGowan, of
Blyth, both members of the Myth
Junior Farmers' Association. Eldon
made the fine score of 433 points out
of a possible 500 while Orval follow-
ed closely with 430. Two orothers,
Robert and William Archibald, of
Seat'urth, tical for third place with
•.1.1 point§ each. Fifth place went
to Edwin Woods, Dlyth, sixth to
Stewart Middleton, Clinton, and
seventh to Wm, Mcllwaine, Gerrie.

The Household Science Judging
Coopetition was one of the best that
has ever been held in any' of the
counties, this not due to the fact that
it had the largest attendance of any
of the counties because in all only
twenty-seven girls turned out. Never
theless, the judges and Miss Lang a ,
the coaeh, remarked that the quality
of the work done has never been ex-
celled in their a*perienee. Over
twenty of the girls made a score .ef •
500 or better out of a possible G00.
Miss Melda McElroy, Blyth, carried
off top honours with a total score of
590, She wags/ followed by Miss
Thine McCall, Brussels, with 552,
Florence Stewart, Brussels, 551,
Louiee Mills, Blyth, 543; May Wood,
Blyth, 536. The results in the var-
ious classes were as follows:—
Nutrition—ist, Melda McElroy; 2,
Mary Cgrtwright; 3rd, Louise Mills.;.
4th, Edna 1GIcCall; 5th, Annie Gar-
rett; Gth, Grace Shortreed.

Tho bjsls' team for the Can'ad'ian
National Exhibition Inter -County
Household Science Junging Competi-
tion will likely be composed of Misses
McElroy, McCall and Mills, Mics
Stewart not being eligible due to the
fact that she has spent one year at
Macdonald Institute, Guelph, It to
expected that something good will
be hearts from this teen of girls when
they compete ,with the other counties
for high honours at the Exhibition.
Great credit for the results of this
first competition is due to J. It.
Ostler, Assistant Agricultural Repre-
eentative, who arranged for the class-
es of live stock and for the halls and
other things necessary for the suc-
cess of a contest of this kind. Miss
lye Langton, of the Institute Branch,
Toronto, spent the +better part of
two weeks in the county coaching the
various groups of girls in household
ecience judging. That she has receiv-
ed a good response is clearly indicat-
ed by the results obtained.
In the evening a supper was held
at the hotel in Blyth attended by a-
bout seventy young people as well
as the judges and others who assist-
ed at the contest. An excellent ad-
dress was given by W. K. Riddell,
Agricultural Representative, Bruce
County, who had previously assisted
in judging the live stock. Mr. Rid -
dell's remarks were not only filled
with humour, but contained a good
deal of advice pertaining to the or-
ganization and accomplishments of
Junior Farmers' Associations and
Junior Institutes. C. A. Robertson,
M. P. P. presented the trophies on
behalf of himself and Mr. Medd, i1?.
P. P., and also added a few remarks
of interest to the young people, Ad-
dresses were also given by Mr. Os-
tler and Mr, F. A. Wiggins, of Clin-
ton. The chair was occupied by Age-
icultural Representative Paterson,
Miss Langton announced the results
of the girls' competition. She was
supported in the judging work by
Misses Slitter, Elliott and Rowe of
the Institutes Branch.
It is to be hoped that 'in future
years greater numbers of young men
and young women will turn out and
take part itt these contests.
THE RAIN
The rain it raineth every day,
And spiles a mighty lot o' hay,
But tullnits, tapeta arum,
Did you ever see the likes o' them?
The rain it raineth every night,
The lowland corn has gat the blight,
But wit hour several million throats
Let's brag about our crop of oats.
The rain it raineth night and day,
Just simply let it rain away,
The apple crop, the beet, the spud,
All prove the proverb, "rich as mud."
It's raining still, but this I know
It snakes the rich, white clover grow,
White clover worth a mint of motley,
And that's the stuff makes milk and
honey.
Last year the valleses had their turn,
This year the fields had wheat to burn
Last year the cows went dry for
water,
Thie year a case of teeter totter.
If it were miry, we'd wish it wet,
Vice versa, we would grumble yet,
If it were cold we'd wish it hot,
Diseatisfitd no smatter what.
The indignant angels have obse?vad,
They call us mossbacks, nano de-
served,
A wink's about as good as nod,
So, altogether boys, thank God]

weapons, 11t"n:;lls and implements
were made of horn, home, leery,
wood, thorn, bamboo and fibre, Very
few iron implements are to be fount
amongst the pygmy tribes; they still
use arrows made front the midribs
o'f the raffia palet, 'feathered' with
tough leaves, itnd their bows are,
more often than not, strung with
cleverly cut bamboo and raffia fibre.”
The pygmy people live in dwellings
made of forest saplings, bent over, or
branches torn off and stuck in the
ground, with a few leaves thrown on
to keep off the rain, "Tie pygmies,
undoubtedly, represent the oldest
aboriginal race in Africa. In the
southern portion of the Congo Basin
we find the South African Itushmen
elenu nt—a somewhat divergent type
from the true force, pygmy."
Icor some time .lir. Darns lived in
the forests which are the heart of
their country, and useti the little men
for the entire collecting and carrying
work of his expedition. "leer my
part, I took a great liking to them
—their Intelligent, round, wide -set
eyes, their puckered lips and bird-
like actions appealed to me, They
boasted no worldly goods except their
small spears and bows and arrows,
Of housebold gods or any other gods
they had none. Carefree, indepen-
dent, clean, they are just nature's
children.
Out one day collecting in the for-
est, the author had a delightful ex-
perience of the pygmies' hunting sys-
tem. "I became aware of an exceed-
ingly melodious piping away in the
distance, which, on becoming more
audible as it approached, resolved
itself into a series of flute -like notes
of eonsiderable volume, very pleasing
to the ear. These were augmented
by various tap -tapping noises, but
nothing was to be scan among the
thick foliage and no other sounds
were to be heard. I gathered from
the native who stood beside me that
this was a band of Wamluti out
hunting; so we stood behind trees to
watch, letting the chase go by, al-
though, owing to the density or the
foliage, little could be seen,
"Presently, however, out caul:' a
little yellow dog, scurrying along the
track from which eve had stood aside,
the bell (trade from a hard seed -pod
with two wooden Clappers) attlach/A
to its neck, tap -tapping as it ran, and
then following it, a naked pygmy
holding a little bow and a :•twat of
arrows. Both soon disappl':tc'c•d, how-
ever, as quietly as they came, The
fluting was continuous and, as far ams
I could judge, 11115 the Mete men's
method of keeping the ,entre or '1
half circle. They evidently passed
through the forest in this formation,
with the idea of surrounding any-
thing their dogs tracked up for then,,
MS; pygmy flute -player being guided
to a certain extent by the bell of the
dog."
It would appl'a.r that those "little
red men" are possessed 'tf a keen
ear for music. Their dances "have an
impish quality entirely their own, As
soon in the glow of the firelight
round which they are in the habit of
dancing, with their wagging heads,
swaying bodies and drumming feet,
they take on an absurdly misshapen
appearance, their gestilres and move-
ments being at. one time ridiculous
and at others grotesquely obscene.
They dance sometimes in a Miele and
at other tinges in single tile,"
Curiously enough, these lowly lit-
tle people appear to be more ser-
iously minded than the taller ne-
groes. "They are even morose and
gloomy, like the gorilla and chimpan-
zee which many of theta so nearly
resemble, just as if the dark forest
had laid its chill hand upon them,"
The babies when born are covered
with silky brown hair which never
entirely disappear in after -life, but
which, one might say, is augmented
with a more woolly growth of coarser
hair. It grows abundantly, on moat,
but not of all forest pygmies, over
the whole body, and In some cases
even the back has a licit, growth."
The average height of the stales is
about four feet three inches and the
woman four feet.
