The following is frinn the pen of . G. C. Mary 'Wihite, a" journalist on the staff of "Ontario Fernier." • "Oh for the gate and the locust lane, and dusk and dew, and home again. --Madison °mein. • . • There are men of vision in Huron County. And men of vision are not • visionary men. Visionary men are generally men who could do wonder - fu if -they have a way of stopping at the if. As someone', with rather a sarcastic ,tongue, said once, "their wishbone is where their back - bone ought to be." But inet of vision are not like that: They look behind studying the re- cords of the past. They look for- ward, and they, use the precious min- utes of the present to make their dream mane true, Happily, beethse the Agricultural Representative, and his ,assistant, Mr. D; A. Andrew, are rich in what may be called apprecia- tive sympathy, I met some of Huron county's men of vision, and saw their handiwork. And, some of them are re -clothing the land with trees; end one has raieed with his own hands, a monument to • the pioneers. To the last first, His name is Robert Bell, and in the days when Huron was a'forest, his forefathers carne,from Stirlingshirt in Scotland,. and hewed a home from among .4a,lie timbered acres that lie ilisiliismia d;o.illatirtitzsie oaw thand yalley s aniong Or', Western counties.

But before flee, the schooling; 'I had was only intbrinittent--three and.sometimes four months in the year, perhaps." Farmers need more - ..education than they sometimes get," Then the talk shifted to the mein - oriel, which may be seen on the cer...: ner of the Saran, where four vieji.S. meet.

Behind the pil- hie, in a- corner of the field, are ce- ment reproductions of the' old log roller ,that the forefathers' used; of the.V-shaned drag, with its iron teeth, which helped to put in the first crop- after the timber was cut down, bil-t- before the -"Stumps had been re- moVed-the -seed was .just 1/nattered on the ' land and the long, pointed drag nosed -round . and between the stumps, dragging it in, of the maul that was used for splitting rails, and the free that ent1the shingles for the first log house. . "I have a great 'heart for tbe old farm that my father took from the wilderness," -he said, "and for the *pioneers, They were wonderful folk, and some Of, them hardly got the foundatiens' laid in this new. •country before they were called to another world.

Is it necessary to say that though as a boy, Mr. Bell deelared, he tad had little -sclueeling, as the saying goes, that he is educated in the tru- est sense; that he is not only well read, but that he has a fine, imaging - tion, and that creative individuality that is quit‘absent from those who have won colleve medals for the amount of the inside of certain books - that they have absorbed, but who have neyei- had en original thought in alt their imitative lives? .,gm. 1,6 5Ps5 1.11" S11 IRVt 8TER3 WANTED 15 .

It is the -beekeeper's 5business, therefore, to realize that prevention is betterthan. Cure and to take care that robbing does, not start, As sweeto- are' the root of the trouble, they should never be ex- posed in the apiary even though during a heavy flow they might re- main there untouched. With this in mind- the beekeeper, early in the season, Should see that hives ,containing dead colonies have the entrances closed and that they are removed from the apiary sat'soesi as possible , also that the hive -en- trances of weak colonies are reduced in size as this gives these colonies a bitter chance to defend their home. Where there are' queenlese colonies, he ought -to requeen them soon, for a colony without a -queen does not make a stout resistance, When little or no 'Actin: is coming in and the bees are searching everywhere for itr tol- ony exruninations should -cease entire- ly. If, however, they. must be made, make them brief and cover ab supers' temporarily removed with robber- cloths or sacks. to removing honey with bee -escapes, let him see that ail - cracks between the supers, above the eSetpes are closed, otherwise the un- gearded supers will be quickly,robbed out; also that when the supers are re- moved for extraction they arg cov- ered immediate/y. It is necessary that his honey -house be made bee - tight and its windows screened, Later in the season when feeding for winter let him give the syrup.late ;r the afternoon or in the: evening and snake sure that the feeders do not leak. , 93y ebserVance of these sugges- tions the beekeeper will be saved - much trotable, for robbing once start. edis sometimes very difficult to stop, A. 51. sV.

When a, man is in a violent hurry to got on, and has a specific object in view the attainment of which de- pends on the completion of his jour- ney, the difficulties which interpose themselves in his way appear not only to be innumerable, 'but ;to have been called into existence especially for the occasion.-Dickees. The difficulties which meet some women -seem to ,be many but son -le of them get surmounted , all right. A woman of a lleating• and Engineer- ing Company sounds funny but that is just what an enterprising. woman, Mrs. Olive E. Frank QS Buffalo is. lArS. Frank, who is a niece of Mr. T. O'Neil ef town went into the of- fice of a big Heater Company when she left High "gchoel.a few -years ago and applied herself so well to learn- ing all there is about heating' that she is now head 0.2 a big company of her own. A recent article in one of the big Buffarlo papers tells les. Frank's stor,t1 very interestingly. We quote: - - - "Recently when the new Liberty Bath building was being planned, KU. Frank designed the heating plant and installed it. Her company, the 0. E. Frank Heater and Engin- eering Co, with main offices, and plants in Buffalo, has agencies in six- teen of the largest cities in the Unit ed -States, has installed - eating plants, many of special design, in aula 9-11/Y year arid itsex;etrc,alict different 9f the contry-and it Mrs. Frank.is president of the pony and. besides directing its policies personally designs:: most of. its pro- ducts and whenever a particularly, desirable beating contract is to be obtained,, turns star salesmen' for the Occasion. „ The jumt to owning a ,heating company and beingknown isa every section of the country as a 'heating engineer of unfuleal ability did not come all at once, however, Mit Frank says: . 'When I took the. job with }Toward & Alberger, I had -"rust left .school and thought it pretty gond to.lifird something that would pay inc nebn0,* if- not much. I managed to get:15171the first felir veseks without being fired and then I soon began to think of something else. 'My work as a stenographer brought me into totch with the com- pany's salesmen and .geadually I learned something about selling heat- ing equipment. I studied as much as could of the particular product we handled and hoped some day that ki should be given a chance to try sell- ing. I was eventually, and for twelve. years I was general sales nutnagek of the company. My work as sales - manager took me all over the couo.. try and I got to know the trade pretty thoroughly.' Mrs. Frank <had cherge of all .the company salesmen and 82 out-of- town agencies. During -the war she wai,called to Washington and super- viseork for the United States gav eminent, In between dines the fouril time-. to get niarried. Aikeut two years ago, Mrs. Frank decided to give tm her career and stay home: Shelled only been free of her duties a few menthe when fiends advised her to enter business for her- self. • Besides learning all about selling when she was with Howard & Alberger, she had also studied heat engineering so thal, she could ‘1:allc her line' intelligently. , The Liberty Bank job was the first her company undertook. Many jobs ae large and larger have been ob- tained by her ccifhpany since then and Mrs .Frank has built tip a national ' organization. e, 'When I started I did everything,' she says. 'I had to1 had no money but had a big acquaintance in the trade anti I just went Out andi'got alt the !business I could handle.' Muck of the work of the Frank company is designing and installing special heating, coaling, condensing and heat exchanging equipment. Mrs. Frank has !built an experimental 'sta- tion at the..F.Iuffelo plant on Milburn . street, where she conducts her own experimental work. • In len lirs Frank was admitted to tneMbersbip in the American En- gineering society." ' • Given a good chance women can do almost anything. A woman- swain the English channel a -couple of weeks ago, beating the best record made by a man by about two hours. The kulLbed, shokt-skirted girl has been wont to imagine "herself the .. most up-to-date lang in the universe but her comes along an authority,who says she is ,but following fashions foiowed by the natiVeg of Fiji.- Ratu Mali Halabogi, a native of Fiji, who has been visiting on this tontinent, saythe present styles are but a mimicry of the styles of aboriginies of his native -land. He says: "The girls and women used to des e more modestly. Now the girls' dresses are short, the way the dresses of my people are. You have borowed many tustonis from us, dna of them is,, bobbed hair. The girls of the poly- • nesian ,people have. worn their hair bobbed for many years. 1V1y people with black faces use paint to make them blacker. I notice you people with white_ faces, powder them to pike them whiter."11 I . The 'alkalies used lo make home laundry' work a little easier are: washing soda, lye, borax and am- monia. . , loll 1 Ammonia is a volatile alkali an& used in washing natural coloured woollens, especially if they are very dirty or if the water is hard. Use one tablespoonful .to one gallon of water, but be careful not to use it for coloured articles as it draws the. colour. .. . Borax 15 a white 'alkaline powder which softens water and is, not in- jurious to .toloured goods. It die- thives in boiling .weiter but not in cold, and should be used in the pro- portions of one tablespoonful of bor- ax to a gallon of water. , It stiffens the article slightly • and one table- spoonful of,borax added to eight of starch gives a gloss to linen goods; mixed with water it removes wet tea and coffee stains. Washing soda softens water; it unites with grease thus aiding in the cleansing of very dirty' „clothes- Its disadvantages are that it causes sol - euro to run, weakens delieate cottoi or linen fibres; shrinks woollen mat- erials causing'them to become hard and felted, and hurts the skin, mak, ing it red and sore. Always dissolve it in hot water before using for loam - dry purposes, otherwise it may in- jurethe clothing. Soda should be kept covered, as it becomes stronger - if exposed to the air which evapor- ates the moistui`e in it. Soda solution is made by dissolv- ing one poiand 'of washing soda in oro quart 015 boiling water. Boil soda in water nail dssolied then cool, bot- tle and label. Ilse one tablespoonful to each gallon of :water for washing coarse, dirty clothes, also for boiling them.
