HOARDING
In the golden . wonder
Of' an Autumn wood,
Ankle-deep in painted, leaves
silently I stood
To watch a small swift squirrel
store hie Winter food.
I would be as thrifty
in a different way,
Putting bits of beauty by
now the year's are gay
Food to keep, my spirit
when Life's tildes/grow gray.
If I may but harvest,
ere my Summer flies,'.
Friendships indissoluble,
memories to prise,
I shall challenge Winter
with laughter in my eyes.
—Molly Bevan.
If there is one thing more than
another of wbich youth is prodigal
it is the only thing which itis impos-
sible to hoard, time, the stuff. of
which life is made up. So anxious
are we when young to experience all
that is to ,.be experienced; so eager
to see what the future has in store
for us; se careless of the experience
of the moment and so sure that the
one just around the first corner will
be more thrilling, that with ,prodigal
hand we fling carelessly- from us the
preeious moments ,seareely deigning
to notice their passing.
As we grow elder we learn that
hours which once pass, no matter
how foolishly spent, never return;
we learn that even though we would,
in a belated eagerness to improve
the moments stay it a bit, that time
is the swiftest -moving thing with
...11111111M111101•10. MIIMMI119•10,6•101,10...00•1•,
which we work; that this •hoer with
which we dea'I is swiftly gone and
we, must begin using up another one.
Then' it is that we begin to under
stand that if we are to accomplish
anything we must improve time as
it flies. Wiouid we acquire an educa-
tion, then we must apply ourselves
to our tasks,making that our chief
thought. Would we build up, strong,
self-reliant characters, then we must.
bend our energies' toward that end;
would we store up friendship, then
we must cultivate the friendships
which are ours to -day.
1 am not one of those who imagine.
that as a child is brought up so. be.
or she will remain unto the end of
life. Although the up -bringing pf a
child has a great deal to do with the
character the adult will have, yet if
that child has it in him he can later
become very different .if he so wills.
If a child is badly brought up it will
make it harder for him to build up
his character later on .and lie may
never become quite the map he would
have been had his training been
different, but if he has the stuff in
him he can so train himself, or so
respond to the training which • the
experiences of life afford, as to form
a fine, worthwhile character.
It seems the natural tendency to
waste time in youth but that is no
reason why anyone should settle
down later to a mere half -lived sort
of life. Time is always at our dis-
posal to use or to waste. We can
plan to live every moment of it to
some purpose or we can go wasting,
it until life is all used up that way.
It is up to u$ individually.

NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR
THE BUSY FARMER
' n
( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture )
Plans are going, ahead for the
tenth annual Royal Winter Fair,
termed the .Commemorative Show,
November 18 to 26, when the choic-
est of Canadian field products and
livestock will be on display.
The International Plowing Match
is being held near Peterboro this
week, Oet. 13th to 16th. A. good
piece of land was selected a few
miles south of the city on the high-
way running toward Port Hope. As
the location was central for several
counties, the usual local events were
thrown cnen to residents of Peter.
boro, Durham, Vietorta and North-
umberland. The last three days of
the competition are open to the
world. This event never fails to
draw a great throng of farmers and
the present year is no exception.
Injurious to Wire Fence
Many times the advice is given
in the fall of the year to "-burn out
the fence rows" to get rid of harm-
ful weeds and insects. This, no
doubt, is a good policy from those
standpoints, but it should he kept
in mind that it is distinctly
harm-
ful to any type of wire fence.
Zine melte at a comparatively low
temperature and the heat from
burning grass or 'weeds is often sufe
fieient to scorch the protective coat-
ing and will probably' shorten by
several seasons the useful life of the
fence.
Tobacco Prices Lower
Purchase of the record flue -cure
ed tobacco, trop in the Norfolk.
Elgin-Oxord area began last week
The top price has dropped from 40
cents last year to 80 cents a pound
this year, with the prices for inferior
grades correspondingly low. Owing
to the fact that the tobacco is of unix
formly high quality, the average
price should be at least 25 cents a
pound. Wihile the price is a disap-
pointment to the growers and will
have serious results in many in-
stances, it will have a salutary effect
upon the industry in that it will
prevent undue expansion next year.
The acreage in this district has
climbed from 200 acres in 1926 to 20,-
000 acres in 1981. The crop this
year was estimated at 10 minim
pounds and the anticipated revenue

The Rog a
h gM Market
A review of the hog market sit-
uation states that there is no justi-
fication for the practice which has
been- all too' general thisseason of
trying to beat the market by sell'
ing off light -weight unfinished hogs
to gam,a few cents per pound at
Current prices,, The principal effect
of such practices has been to:demor.
aline the market • and force prices
much below what they otherwise
might be. _ With Canadian hog pricesi
dra5tically',realigned both to suit
domestic conditions and export mar-
ket prices the common sense prac
biee at present is to finish hogs up
tothe proper weight, around 200
j rinds. Thisis one effective way in
which todevelop a steady hog mar-
ket, to regularize marketings .and at
the same time to improve quality.
Proper Ration Needed
A. hen may lay a few eggs early
in tlhe geeing without receiving,
much feed or attention or she nisei
lay at the end of the season wh
feed may be picked up in the field
but the hen has not yet been devel-
oped that will lay without the proper
ration during the fall and winter
months. A good mash is important
ie the hens are to lay, and it should
be before the birds all the time. If
any one of the neeessary elements
required for the makingof eggs is
absent, production is impaired. Pul-
lets require a little different mash
than the old hens and it is a mistake
to house them togther and have
them feed from the sante hopper.
Home -graven feeds with the addition
of some purchased concentrates may
be mixed, or a commercial mash may
be purchased that will supply the
necessary ingxedients to the bird.
Chickens will pay dividends if pro-
perly housed and given the right ra-
tions.

When to Apply Lime
A test of the soil should be made
to make sure that it requires lime.
If the soil proves to be 'acid then
the answer to the question when to
apply lime 'plight be "when you
have time." Lime is for the bene-
fit -'of all crops in the rotation, but
particularly of benefit to legumes.
The best time is possibly just bee
fore sowing a egrain crop that is
seeded dovin with alfalfa or clovers.
Lining law plowed for fall wheat
which is to be seeded "with clover
in the spring is a convenient and
satisfactca'y practice. Lime is not a
fertilizer, but simply neutralizes
the acidity of the soil and should
lis thoroughly •worked into the soil
during the preparation of a seed
bed to become efficient. It is poor
business to farm land that is lack-
ing in lime and strongly acid in re-
action. The productive power of
the soil is reduced when it be -
conies acid. Correcting tbis condi-
tic+i with the use of ground lime-
stone increases the efficiency of
tete• manures and fertilizers applied
mid therefore contributes to the
cutting down of costs of crop pro-
duction,
Buy Clover Seed Now
Farriers anticipating the pur-
chase of clover and alfalfa seeds,
would be well advised .to do so
now. The situation is that there
are many Ontario growers who are
in need of ready mash, and wino will
accept sacrifice prices. Obviously,
then, this would seem to be. the
titre to buy cloven seed, rather than
wait till spring when prices may be
considerably higher.
in the purchase and sale of small
seeds, the Dominion Seed Act re-
quires that such seods must be sold
by grade. The Dominion Seed
Branch will examine samples free
of charge.

British Apple Market
Not for many years have Ontario
apples eoimnanded` such excellent
prices on the British market, and
this year a greater quantity of ap-
ples will be sent overseas than ever
before, Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minis-
ter of Agriculture, declares- Cold'
ntr,••age, grading and careful packing
have resulted in the selling of On-
tario apples on the British market
fin' front two to four shillings a bar -
more than,thb Virginia apples and
from four to eightshillings a bar-
rel more than the. product 1f Nova

and in other forms," states .Han.

The' Potato Situation
The. delegates at the recent Po-
tato Growers' conference came to the
the conclusion that the potato situ -
teen can be cleared up providing
there is. a combined effort on the
part of the producer, the trade,. and
the consumer, es follows:
"That the producer send to mar-
ket only the high grade portion of
his crop." The quality of this
year's crop averages very high, so
the amount of potatoes left on the
farm would not constitute a grave
hardship to the farmer,
"That the trade feature Ontario
graded potatoes exclusively until
such time as our home-grown crop
is exhausted." With the ungraded
potatoes left on the farm, the deaI-
er will be able to serve his custom -
ere with potatoes of a quality
which leaves nothing to be :desired,
"That the consumer do his, or
her part, by insisting on being
served with nothing but Ontario
graded potatoes."
Grain Show Postponed„
Owing to general conditions in
Western Canada, the world's grain
exhibition, which was to have been
held in Regina In 1932, has been
postponed until 1933. The decision
was announced by Hon. Robert Weir.
chairman of the committee, only af-
ter mature deliberation had been
given every angle of the situation.
More than two score countries had

A Prolific Apple Tree
An apple tree that will give 24
bar'•els of first-class apples this year
is the pritie of Kenneth Cameron of
Lucknow, who has one of the Finest
orchards in Western Ontario. It is
a Spy tree and Mr. •Cameron's per-
sonal favorite in his 300 -tree or-
chard. In the past 13 years it hap
produced 193 barrels of saleable ap-
ples and is to day a splendid, heal-
thy specimen cf the, Spy variety. Mr,
Cameron, one sof the most ardent
oi'c$iaadists in Western •Ontario,
sprays his trees five times a year,
and cuts the grass in the orchard for
a mulch. He fuses more' than 1,500

WHY NOT TRY THIS COAL OUT?
We agree with the Alliston Her-
ald that the present is a niost`6"ppor-
tune time to introduce Welsh coal
into Canada in large quantities, "The
chief reason for buying Welsh coal,"
cleclares the Herald, "is the vast 'a-
mount of energy that .it contains.
Welsh coal at $18 a ton is cheaper
than Pennsylvania coat at $15 a ten,'
without the depreciated dollar and
pound entering into the calculation,
The British coal is cheaper because
there is more heat in it. Welsh ,.
coal will give just about teethe the
length of heat -producing fire that
Pennsylvania coal will. give. The
prie difference between Welsh and
American coal has practically .van-
iehed since a Canadian dollar in °the
United States is now worth only a-
bout bout 90c and in England it is worth
about $1.15. This makes a spread of
25c between the two, standards .of
value, quite sufficient to make up
the difference between $15 and $18
a ton coal." The Herald suggests
that someone take the initiative and
import a few carloads for distribu-
tion in Alliston. This idea might be
profitably carried out in every On-
tario town.—Simcoe Reformer.

ADENOIDS
Adenceds, are growths which are
sponge -like in consistency, and which
develop in the passage which joins
the nose and throat. They occur at
all ages, from early infancy to adult
life, but they aro most commonly
found in young children.
The presence of adenoids is fre-
quently responsible for what appears
to be a chronic head -cold, with a
•tionsiderable discharge( from the nose,
The child who has adenoids will
likely be bothered by a cough and
snuffles during the cold weather,
because of the location of the ade-
noids, they may obstruct the Eus-
tachian tubek which connect the
middle ear with the throat, Ade-
noids are the most common cause of
ear -ache in young children. If the
condition is not treated, it frequent-
ly leads to disease of the ear and
permanent loss of hearing.
Breathing through the nose is.
the right and natural Way to breathe.
1f the adenoids are large, the child
will become a mouth -breather he.
cause their growth will block the
nasal passage and prevent breathing
through the nese. Certain serious
results follow. To begin with, the
child has the uncomfortable feeling
associated with a head -cold.
Continued mouth -breathing, "which
means that the nose is not being us-
ed, results in a high -arched palate
and the deformity of the chest known
as "pigeon -breast, and almost surely
there is some disturbance of the
proper, orderly arrangement of the
teeth in the upper jaw.
In advanced cases, the child has a
characteristic appearance—tile ade-
noid face. The open mouth,, the small
pinched nostrils and thickened upper
lip all give a fish -like, stupid ap-
pearance. The voice may have a
nasal twang, in young children, bed-
wetting may be a symptom.
The spongy adenoid growth pro-
vides an excellent breeding -place for
germs, This is helped by the
mouth -breathing which brings un-
prepared air into the throat and
tends to dry out the tissues and so
f lower their resistence.
` The child with adenoids inay seem
to be mentally doll, and this is not to
be wondered at when it is eemem-
' bered that Iris head feels stuffed up,
his hearing' is interfered with, he
likely suffers from ear -ache, and he
is quite possibly 'being poisoned by
germs which are present in the ade-
noid growth.
Any child who is a mouth -breath-
er, or who suffers from repeated
colds or ear -ache should be examin-
ed ton see if adenoids are responsible
and if so, to have them reproved. The
sooner they are removed, the bet-
ter it is for -the child. • .
No child need suffer the handicap
and -danger of adenoids. Their com-
plete removal is a simple surgical
procedure and is 'the only suitable
treatment.
