I was greatly in' sympathy with that objection. Packages so sealed were bard to open and if a staple flew while being pried open there was no tell- ing where it had landed. But house- hold supplies were not our only worry. Laying mash, which now comes in paper bags, was also fas- tened with staples -a bigger and stronger variety. One had to be very careful in prying theni off in case one of the staples might acci- dentally drop into the laying mash. Finding a needle in a haystack would be no more difficult than looking for a wire staple in a bag of laying Masii. And wire staples can hardly be recommended as a good supplementary addition to the laying ?tens' regular ration. One staple imbedded' in the gizzard of a lien could cause serious trouble, Which reminds me ... one time. we had a tooster-a fine, healthy specimenof a bird, who suddenly went off his head. He didn't appear to be sick but moped around on the roost. all day. He finally. re- covered. Some months later the rooster was killed to provide roast chicken for our table. When I cleaned the poor thing I found a three-inch nail stuck right through his gizzard -in much the same way as a Cupid's arrow is pictured through the heart. How the rooster ever lived is a mystery. Small won- der it sat around on the roost. And so, thinking of the nail, I was very glad last week to find our laying mash was machine - stitched across the top instead of being fastened with staples. Now I am hoping that grocers will dis- continue the practise of using little staples to fasten bags of raisins, currants, and other foodstuffs that come to the store in bulk. Well, we have run into telephone trouble. For months I have been worrying the telephone company to put new bells on our phone as half the time it was impossible to re- cognize the ring, with the result that I was always butting in on calls that were meant for other parties on the line. Finally we got our bells. Now when the telephone - rings it scares the life out of me ,-and also the dogs. So we have dogs barking and the phone ring- ing ell at the -same time. Well, that's all right in the day -time - we can get used to it. But Satur- day night we were dead to the world -and of course the telephone had to ring. I 'thought it was about two in the morning, and I knew Bob wasn't home so it isn't hard to guess what my first thoughts were. By the time I took down the receiver I was shiverings It was Daughter -and the time was 11.30 p.m.l Still early hours for city folk but the middle of the night to us older folk down on the farm. Daughter had tried to get us earlier ht the evening but couldn't get through.
