* One aspect of your marriage to
*' the older man you have evident-.
* ly not considered as seriously as
* it deserves:
* As his wife, you will be expect-
* and make then your own. You
* and snake the myour own, You
* will have to behave in a more
* mature manner than is natural,
* and be honestly concerned in
* their interests and activities in
* other words, be one of them.
* Discuss this with him frankly and
* seriously, and find out whether
* he believes you will be a social
* asset to hits. If he thinks you
* will, he should bring them to call
* on you, and begin including you
* in their invitations.
* Otherwise, I'm afraid after mar-
* riage you will find that he will
* continue seeing them—and
* without you. You can foresee
* how miserable that would be.
* You must not be so possessive
* now. It is in execrable taste for
* you to "go after" him when he
* is with theta. He is going to
* resent that interference (for that
* is what it is) and besides it
* makes you and him look ridic-
* ulous before then all.
This is only one of the dangers
* in marrying a man so much old-
* er. Don't ask, nor expect him to
* give up his friends. He has no
* intention of doing so, nor should
* be. It is your job, I repeat, to
* make them your friends too. If
* you cannot, you'd better not go
* through with this marriage.
* It would be well to settle this
* matter immediately — before you
* break finally with the boy in the
* army. That, however, you should
* do soon, for it is not fair to
* continue to encourage hint.

Was there ever a haying season
like this one? if so, we can't re-
member it. The last three days
have been tvomlerful-- hot sun and
good drying weather -•- so, Part-
ner has a big field of hay already
for the baler, who is supposed to
conte in today. And what happens?
This morning we get up, find there
is a heavy dew, cloudy sky and the
weather forecast is for more rain.
Here's hoping the sun will conte
out and chase away the dew, and
that we can get the hay baled be-
fore it rains.
There are plenty of thingi hap-
pening on farms these days that are
hard to understand, For instance,
there -is better pasture than we have
had in years, yet milk production
is down, also the butterfat content
of the milk — all of which is nat-
urally reflected in the producers'
returns. This state of affairs scents
to be pretty general, yet we do
not find it mentioned in the dis-
cussion last week by the Milk Con-
trol Board concerning the revised
consumer prices.
Then there's the Hessian Fly.
Just over a week ago I went to
the back of the farm and upon my
return I told Partner the Hessian
Fly wasn't in our wheat. 1 don't
think it was at that time but a
few days ago Partner found it
there alt right. And a better look-
ing field we couldn't have wished
for up to that time, Some of the
fields we have passed oa the road
are a heartache—only a thin sprink-
ling of wheat stalks left standing
in an entire field,
Mosquitoes are still my No. 1
problem' We have a few cherry
trees at the back of the house —
Ear1y Richmond—a sour cherry
that makes good pies, Among the
trees there is orchard grass. It
is still 1ohg and thick even though
we did hafse the cows there to pas-
ture for a few days. And, of
course, where there is grass there
are also mosquitoes. They attacked
Inc in swarms when I started pick-
ing cherries. What to do?
couldn't let those cherries go to
waste. Suddenly I remembered a
bright idea one of our neighbors
had—taking the electric fan out-
side. So I hunted around until I
found enough extension cord to
reach ,from the woodshed to the
cherry trees, I set the fan down
in the grass and watched the mo-
squitoes fly angrily away. Not very
far away but far enough that I
was able to pick my cherries with
comparative immunity from bites.
Bred To Be Tough
United States clog -lovers are pay-
ing as much as $1500 for fine speci-
nnens of English bulldogs. In recent
years the breed has shot up in popu-
larity. Canada, Australia and Italy
are three other countries where
fantastic prices are being paid for
bulldog pups.
They are dear enough in Eng-
land. Eighty to a hundred dollars
each was paid for a litter of five,
sired by John Blockbuster" re-
cently.
The bulldog and the mastiff were
among the first distinct types of
dog.
Bulldogs were originally bred for
baiting bulls.
A bull, tied by a length of rope
to a stake, was left to defend him-
self against the attacks of the dogs,
Each dog was trained to creep
within springing distance, seize tate
bull by the nose and hang there,
If the dog did get a hold, the
hull would try to free himself by
throwing the dog up in the air and
dashing hint to the ground. The
dog had to land on his feet, other-
wise the bull would trample hint to
death.
The training the dogs had to un-
dergo and the nature of their 'work
made them fierce and headstrong.
They were faithful enough as
friends, but terrible enemies.
Their undaunted pluck and utter
disregard of pain, together with
their tenacious grip were qualities
rightly feared by those who did
not understand their nature.
It is as well that they are not as
fierce to -day. Luckily, modern bull-
dogs are trained to be quiet and
obedient.
LEGAL ADVICE
Said the lecturer on law: "If you
have the facts on your side, ham-
mer theist into the jury, and if you
have the law on your side, hammer
it into the judge."
"But if you have neither the
facts nor the law?" asked a student,
"Then hatrmer the. fable,, an-
swered the professor.
While I was busy canning cher-
ries we had a wonderful surprise.
Partner's brother at La Cave sent
au 11 -quart basket of blueberries
which he and daughter Betty had
picked themselves. My, were they
good! Colin said it had taken them
only two hours to fill the basket,
the berries were so plentiful. Now
those -same berries are in jars, ex-
cept the ones for immediate use.
Blueberries have a flavour all their
own. Blueberry pie ... could any-
thing be nicer? I wonder how far
south blueberries can be grown.
Does anyone know? I often won-
der if they would grow in the
rough, rocky hills in this district—
that is over the "Mountain."
And do you know, I have a name
for our mountain now — "Mystery
Mountain." I offer that suggestion
to the Geological Department of
the Ontario Government free of
charge! One day, looking over
towards the mountain it annoyed
me to think it didn't have a proper
name other than the Escarpment.
Then I began to wonder what name
would be suitable, "Greenhills?"
No, that wouldn't do. Sometimes it
looks more black than green. As
I watched the sun was chasing
shadows across the hitherto sombre
slopes. Everything was sparkling
momentarily in dancing light. The
next minute it was impossible to
recognize either trees or buildings.
The contour of the escarpment was
as dark and mysterious as night.

Well, I started this column at
6.30 a.m. Now it is 2.30 p.m. The
baler has been running for five
hours and it hasn't rained yet. We
hope when it is baled we can get
it into the barn before heavy rain
has a chance to ruin it. But you
never can tell.
Yesterday a minister said on the
radio, "Small- annoyances in our
lives often crowd mat the more
important things of life." How true
that is. Here are we, worrying
about getting our hay into the
barn, and yet, compared with what
is happening in Kansas, Korea
and Iran, what have we to worry
about? But there is another way
of looking at it. Too much con-
cern about things beyadd our con-
trol can undermine our own effi-
ciency. Maybe we should conceit -
trate first of all on snaking a good
job of tidying up our own back-
yard.

Jane Andrews..
The other day I was walking
with a: friend through her garden
and remarked to her on how well
her eggplant was looking and
how fond nay family and I are of
that vegetable — or is it a fruit?
To my astonishment she told ane
that she only grew eggplant be-
cause she liked its looks, and never
thought of *eating any.
* *
Of course, I told her of what
a treat she was missing, and recom-
mended a couple of methods of
cooking eggplant the way they do
it down in French North Africa,
where It is considered a real deli-
cacy.
Eggplant With Cheese and
Tomatoes
Peel the eggplant and cut in
long pieces about one inch thick.
Let stand in salted water for at
least one hour. Dry. Put pieces
of eggplant in casserole in layers
with tomato sauce and grated
cheese, finishing with cheese. Bance
in moderate oven (350-375 deg. F.)
about 30 minutes.
* *
Tomato Sauce (for the Eggplant)
Wash and cut up one pound ripe
tomatoes. Put in a saucepan with
a little fat, one small chopped on-
ion, pinch of thyme, one bay leaf,
small piece of parsley. When cook-
ed to a soft mush, strain.
* * *
Eggplant Bread
Peel and salt eggplant, rut in
pieces. Fry in pan with lard and
two or three pieces of garlic. Make
a thick white sauce (4 tablespoons
butter and 4 tablespoons flour to
1 cup of milk), When sauce is cold,
add 4 eggs and some chopped pars-
ley. Mash the eggplant, mix with
the sauce and season to taste with
salt and pepper. Bake in loaf pan
at 300 deg, F. for 45 minutes. Turn
out, serve with thick tomato sauce.
• * * *
The recipes which follow all
come from down in the West In-
dies and the quantities given are
not quite as exact as the more
scientific cookery experts would
reconunend. However, I don't
think you'll have much trouble fol-
lowing the directions, and I do
believe that you'll find then well
worth following too. •
Stuffed Peppers
1 1b. minced steak, or any cooked
meat, minced
Small piece minced ham
4 chopped olives.
1 teaspoon capers
3 teaspoons tomato paste
1 chopped hard -cooked egg

ingredients together. Boil peppers
five minutes, then stuff, Bake 30-
45 minutes in moderate oven (350-
375 deg.F.), using a little water
or tomato sauce in the bottom of
the baking pan. Makes enough to
stuff eight small peppers.

To the youth who had recently
graduated from College with a de-
gree, I offered ray congratulations.
He thanked me and then added, "It
doesn't mean a thing, if I can't
snake money." If he meant that
holding a college degree does not
provide money for rent, food and
clothes, the truth is obvious. But
if he meant that a degree is of no
value unless it is used to increase
one's earning capacity, then some
of us will hesitate to agree. The
value of a college education ought
not to be measured by one's in-
come. However, in this material-
istic age many think of education
only in the light of its increasing
one's earning capacity.
The rich man in our lesson,_.
thought of life in terms of posses-
sions. When the great harvest had
been stored away he would say,
"Soul, thou hast much goods .laid
up for many years; take thine ease,
eat, drink and be merry." Imagine,
a man's soul being at ease because
of riches] Man is overbuilt for this
world. Augustine. was right, "God,
Thou hast trade me for Thyself,
and my soul is restless, till I rest
in Thee."
The rich man never reached the
hoped -for -ease. Ile thought that
more'pbssessions would procure it.
But it did not. God said, "Thou
fool, this night they soul shall be
required of thee." How much did
he leave? He left it all.
Paul laid down an important
maxim, "If any would not work,
neither should be eat" We were
slow to learn the meaning of this
in its application to the fellow who
comes to the door with a hard -
luck story. But after one, of them
robbed ottr house in our absence,
attd another suddenly disappeared
after we had helped and secured
help, we learned. Both men finally
were imprisoned for other thicery.
Now we assure ourselves that it is
not just a titan who docs not want
' to work before we assist him,
