men.
"But—
'After an eligible male pursues
me, sparing me no end of •affec-
tion and vague promises, the friend-

Not Snowdrifts, But "Mold -Drifts" — This model "town", built on a
large culture plate by GE engineers at Nela Park, was left for a
few days in a warm, humid atmosphere. Mold began to grow—
the some kind Mama sometimes finds on stale bread. But a small
germicidal lamp was left shining on the model. No mold grew
where the lamp's ultraviolet light shone, but in the shadows
cast by the buildings and trees, green and white mold grew
-apidly and thickly. The effect was the same as in late winter,
when snowdrifts in the shadows remain unaffected by the sun.
So the "snowdrifts" in this picture are really "mold -drifts."

We haven't raised any clticicens
at all since we acquired Honey,
our little cocker spaniel. Several
times have wondered what would
happen had we tried since spaniels
are essentially bird dogs. Honey
proves it—she simply ignores squir-
rels but site chases sparrows: pig -
sons• and starlings as if to the
manner ,horn. So what would she
have done with chicken?- Partner
says Honey has recently developed
other habits so he has nicknamed
her "his great protector." Recently
we have had two little heifers in
the backyard' and whenever, Part-
ner comes up from the barn they
cane running towards hint. Honey,
apparently, thinks they are out to
attack Partner—so Honey puts the
calves to rout—or tries to.
• Well, we still haven't got chick-
ens but we did move twenty., old
hens from the barn pen over to the
brooder house..Since then I have
been taking Honey with me when
I feed the hens—right into the pen
itself, She sits just inside the door,
after being told to "stay there," and
she watches those bens with a
mournful, curious eye, She is only
too glad to conte out when I do
1 suppose she thinks "what's
the good of going in there if I'm
not allowed to retake the feathers
fly?" However. I thin!: it is pretty
good training. If, and when, we do
have chickens again, honey will
have learned by that time that
certain kinds of bird life are not
meant for her to chase or play
around with,
We moved the old hens to snake
roost for some New Hampshire
pullets ivhich we bought from a
neighbour. Tltey are nice birds—so
tame and quiet' you would think
tacit one had been raised as a pet.
Funny the difference there is in
the different breeds of birds. Speak-
ing from out, own experience we
find Plymouth Barred Rocks are
good, general purpose birds, al-
though they feather slowly and go
broody very quickly,
!White Leghorns are nervous bid-
dies and fly all over time perm if
they are startled in any way. Even
scattering time ' scratch grain will
often scare Ibsen, They lay well
but are not much good as table
birds.
Light Sussex feather quickly, get
to be a good weight at maturity
— and are the most persistent
broody hens I ever knew, We had
then[ once—and once was enough.
N.H.X.B.R. hybrids are quiet,
good layers and not too heavy or
too broody.
New dlantpshires—their peculi-
arities we have yet to find out as
this is the first time we have tried
them,
Well, I' suppose the weather for
the holiday week -end did not please
anyone but the farmer—and we
certainly needed rain. Personally
I thought anything was better than
that spell of unseasonable heat. 85
in October—that surely is one for
the record] Incidentally on the
hottest day our supply of winter
coal arrived. Bob was home for
the . weekend but daughter and
cousin Betty went to Buffalo,
Sunday night a friend and I went
to the 60th[ Anniversary service of
a village church where this friend
of mine was brought up. The
church was packed to the doors,
morning and night, despite the fact
of it being a terrible day—cold;
windy and wet.
Somehow the- spirit of by -gone
days seemed to be there — days
when the little village church was
the cetifre of community life. Many
who had once belonged to the son-,
gregation but had since moved
away were back for Anniversary
Sunday. Friends who had not seen
each, other in years met and talked
together once again. The special
preacher was excellent,- Speaking -of
the way in which different people
meet adversity he quoted words to
this effect—"The greatest loss is
wasted sorrow, It is terrible to have
paid so great a price and bought
nothing," He was referring to
those who have lost someone very
dear to them and who spend the
rest of their lives nursing their
grief , "wasted sorrow," We
have all cone in contact with just
such persons, haven't ave? Fortun-
ately there are others, who through
their own sorrow, have, developed
a greater sympathy for their fel-
lowmen—and greater opportunity
for service, .•

Jacob's family numbered 70
when they settled in Egypt. Four
hundred years later there were
about 600,000 on foot, that were
men, besides children. They had
grown to a mighty host, This was
in spite of adversity, A new king
who had not known Joseph feared
this growing nation, He set task-
masters over the Israelites to afflict
them, "But the more they afflicted
then[, the more they multiplied and
grew." That is a significant state-
ment, They were God's chosen
people and they prospered in ad-
versity. It is useless to fight agalnst
God. The Psalmist was right when
he said, "Surely the wrath of man
shall praise 'Thee," (76:10).
Then came the time when the
people of Israel began to., sigh
unto God because of their' bond-
age. "And God heard their groan-
ing, and God remembered His
cotenant with Abraham, • with
Isaac, and with 'Jacob." The die-.
ciplines of adversity had moulded
them ,into a station, Some, remem-
