It has won for you our very highest appreciation. We are grateful beyond all'expres- sion for your goodness in giving so liberally of your time in preparing the lessons. There never was a dull or un- interesting moment during the whole series of lessons. You have brought home to use in this Course on "Health and Home Nursing" many, many things that we never realized we didn't know. There are not many things that one can enthuse so unreservedly about: but certainly we arein.deed much wiser for tehinstructions regarding the sick—the rules of hygiene arid sanitation, the. need of proper vita- mins in our daily diets,—and for all these lessons we are greatly indebted to you.

V FARMER SHOULD AVOID A fine. looking cow—a top-notch producer! That is why Mr. A,clolph Hitler hates her. She is a vital war worker. This cow is a producer of "FOOD MUNITIONS" that strengthens and energizes the fighters and workers of Canada and Britain. The Canadian cow can produce MORE -MUCH MORE if she. gets all the proteins, minerals and vitamins needed for peak pro- duction. The need for more milk products is urgent.

"There's no trouble, mom," was the quick reply. "You know yourself things are always marked down after the holidays." A negro called as a witness in a case, started to pour out all he knew in a perfect torrent of words. The judge pulled him up telling hint he must first take the oath.

V IMPROVING FARMS BY LAND CLEARING (Experimental Farm News) In the improvement of existing farms, and in agricultural expansion,. the clearing of land is an important problem. On many existing farms, the crop acreage and farm revenue can be increased by removal of tim- ber and brush is the first step in preparing the land for cultivation• and crop production. Various methods are used in the clearing of land according to the tim- ber growth, soil drainage, and other factors. The equipment used may vary from a common axe to a powerful tractor brush -cutter. In the removal of stones, dynamite may be used for ' breaking large boulders, and a man- ure fork is often used for handling' small stones. . A. bulletin, entitled "Land Clear- ing" has been issued by the Dontln- ion Department of Agriculture. In his publication, information has been compiled on methods and' equipment or the removal of timber, brush and stones in land clearing operations. Among the topics dealt with in this, ulletin are: Cicaz'ing off timber and rush, stump removal, power machin- ry for land leaping, disposal of tLnnps, blasting, stone z'enroval, rainage and plowing. .Cpl i sof "Land Clearing." can be. b:lainecl from Pt'slicityt an•1 lxl en . oil Division, P^, inic eek, of Agriculture, Ottawa.
