Deep in the templed wilderness they lift their pipes on high. When swings the shining evening star into the spring -time sky— Their cloistered voices peeling forth in lilting lullaby. Throughout eternal aeons they have trilled their bridal lay Beneath the calm effulgence of the glorious Milky Way.— Their Mites attuned to silent prayer • ' amidst the reeds by day. And though of help it may not h.;ar a Where clouds of azure vapour float like incense through the night, .And perfumed scarves of cherry-. bloom unfold their pallid iigtit, And hosts of red -winged blackbirds flit "cheering" in sweet delight; Where broods the crane by the mar- shes' rim, And scented logs crowd the river's brim, .And the catkins are lighting their candles dim In the pillared nave of spruce and pine Where prayerfully creeps the arbutus vine And violets wander in purple line; By tickling roadsides and pastures damp Where the cows, turned 'feeth te. feee- darn, tramp. And the maiden -moon trims her sil- ver lamp; Through the haunting haze of burn- ing brush, Thrilling the solemn twilight hush, Drowning the notes of the mating thrush, AintIO Teach us to be worthy of freedom. Free from social wrong, free from individual oppression and con - 'tempt, Pure of heart and hand, despising none, defrauding none, Givhig to all men in all the dealings of life.

H. Joliesol V SUNSET FROM MOUNT ROYAL A gentle hush pervades the evening air, The sun, a glowing bal) of fire, Sink' down and fades from view; Then from the purple depths of night's expanse, Softly and glittering stars peep otit And brighten up the blue; Trees stir and whisper in the gentle breeze, White smoke curls up from each house top, And lights begin to .show; The rivers like two little brooklet. seem, They join and Way the scene That spreads out far below. —F. LL Johnson V WOMAN WOR K Bending down low over soft, sleeping faces, Washing and kissing and loving them all; Teaching them fine little courteous graces Building up memories for them to re- call, Making them laugh at the end of each tumble, Giving them rest, thus preserving their poise, Helping them never to fret or to grumble, — • • • Keeping up spirits while toning down noise, Soothing hurt feelings, yet fixing no I blame, Planning a pleasure where duty must I Iurk • Making them sportsmen in life's every game— Forming true humans— and that's woman's work. —Louise Comes Reeve, Legume Hay for • Dairy Cows The immediate need of protein sup- plements for livestock emphasizes the advisablitiy of every farmer doing all he can to grow his own supply. Thio is particularly true in the case of the dairy farmer as the dairy cow is able to make good use of the pro- teins from a wide variety of sour- ces, including coarse roughage& The first of these sources ;hat comes to'inind is legume hay. Alfalfa hay contains over 141k per cent etude protein; red clover, nearly 7.2 per rent; mixed alfalfa and timothy hay more than 111/2 per cent; timothy, hay, over '6 per cent; and corn silage only about 2 per cent. This emphae- izes the importance of an abundance of early eut, well -cured legume hay in providing home-grown. protein. As a general rule, one pound of hay and three pounds ef silage for every ;hundred pounde live weight of cow plus one pound of meal mixture for every three or four pounds of milk pro deiced is recommended in feeding dairy cattle. On this basis., a 1200 pound cow giving 40 pounds of milk would receive 12 pounds, of alfalfa hay, 3.6 pounds of silage, and 10 poUnds of a 15 per cent protein meal mixture. This is a sound recommendation in normal times, especially in good corn country, where a silo is available, and where the necessary grains, partic- ularly protein supplements, are avail- able to balance such a ration. How- ever, under present conditionsineee emphasis could bo placed on larger proportions ef good legume hay. For'instance a ration of 18' pounds of alfalfa hay, 30' pounds of corn silage, and '7 1-2 .pounds of meal, made up of equal parts oats, barley and wheat, would supply the same nut- rients. Similarly, a fifty-fifty ration of 24 pounds alfalfa may '24 pounds corn silage and only 5 pounds of the same meal 'mixture would step up the protein and maintain the total diges- tible nutrients at a satisfactory lea. eL 1 These results can only be secured with relatively high quality early -cut well cured alfalfa or clover hay. Any seeding down being planned for this year should be done with as large a percentage alfalfa and clover as pos- sible. 1 On the basis ef an average crop of two tons of legume hay and 12 tons corn silage per acre, the ration of 12 pounds of hay and 36 pounds of silage would require approximately 6.25 acres of hay and 3.3 acres of corn for each 10 cows to be fed. Similarly the ration. of 18 pounds of hay and 30 pounds of silage would require 10 acres of hay and 2.5 acres of corn, and the fifty-fifty ration would re- quire 12.5 acres of hay and 2 acres of corn. The second ration could probably be produced with the least amount of labour and most satisfactory results. v Childhood Memory To the 'imagination of childhood, there was a fearful fascination about Mr. Hawkine. As the town butcher, he had direct relations with death, sharing this distihetion with the fam- ily doctor and the undertaker; but Mr. Hawkins looked. his part. Off duty, the doctor was a friend of the family, while nobody could be a more cheerful person thanthe undertaker. when he was performing his second, ary function of selling golden -oak fur- niture. Recollection of Mr. Hawkins brings no picture of him off duty. He is in- separable from his shop. There he could be found, early er late, except on the mornings reserved for elaugh- tering. He was a burly man, with a black mustaehe, arms that would have done credit to a village black- smith, and a white apron streaked with the blood of his victims.. A small boy gave his order to Mr. Hawkins re- spectfully, for one never knew that he might not try the edge of his cleav- er on a human neck, if 'he was an- noyed. Actually he was a kind-hearted man. The custom was that an odd capper in change belonged to the child doing the errand, and Mr. Hawkins always saw that the odd copper, was forthcoming. Otherwise, the art of computation was for •him a toilsome task. The deftness that he displayed with his knife was not transferred to the stubby .and frequently moistened pencil which he figured outthe cash side of each traneaetion. Peace to his ashes! Gratitude for many an all -day sucker and liquorice stick makes one of his former cust- omers thankful that Mr. Hawkins never had to struggle with the intri- cacies ef the test charts provided for the guidance of retail .1n/tellers by the wisdom of the Wartime Prices and Tzade Board'. He could understand the diagrams of a side of beef, but the instructions for calculating pekes and percentages would have broken his spirit. One can picture him read- ing again and again the sentence "The test Chart is based on the formu- la that per cent x cents' per pound equals $ per hundredweight." He scratches his head, pushes back his derby hat studies the Chart again, looks towards the polite respesenta- tive of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board who is trying to explain it to him. Then Mr. Hawkins' hand rea- ches for his cleaver, and the curtain falls. Conserve Protein in Grass and Legume Silage (Experimental Farms News) To produce much needed protein on the farm, probably no procedure ex- cels that of ensiling alfalfa, red clov- er, soybeans or young grass crops. compared with corn, the ideal silage crop, whcih, in an analysis as Otta- wa, contains only L8 per cent of pro- tein, the above crops are very super- ior from, a protein standpoint. Alf- alfa contains 4.5 per cent probsin, red clover 3.8 per cent, soybeans 3.'7 per cent, and young timothy 3.0 per cent. As a matter of fact, the protein is so high in these crops it makes them somewhat difficult to ensile. Corn is easy to ensile because it contains relatively large amounts of readily fermentable sugars which are easily converted into lactic acid which in turn conserves the crop as silage. In the high protein crops mentioned above, the protein may be broken down into undesirable substances 'be fore enough desirable acids have Seen produced frons the rather sparse sugars in the erop. However, since the high protein content is eo use- ful in the feed, it is desirable to util- ize the crops as silage and this can be done very satisfactorily by care in ensiling and by, the use of pre- servatives. Making these crops into silage rather than hay is recommend- ed, particularly wen weather condi- tions do not favour hay production. Good silage can beernade from these crops without adding preservatives, if by cutting at the proper .stagcef - maturity or wilting slightly the mois• ture content can be brought about 65 to 70 per cent. With this amount of moisture, the production of lactic acid is encouraged. When preserva- tives include (1) Molasses (either cane or beet) at 40 to 60 pounds per ton of crop. (2) Phospheric acid, 16 pounds per ton, (3) Barley or corn meal at 100 pounds per ton. ,Grasses and legumes properly handled as silage will provide nutri- tious feed, especially high in protein with comparatively little loss. In contrast to hay making, ensiling is not so dependent on the whims os the weather •man. U. K. Praises Bacon It has been favourably noted throughout Britain that the high stan- dard which characterizes. Canadian bacon arriving in the United King - dem bas been well maintained during 1942 notwithstanding the great in. crease in. volume. This is all the more noteworthy, says the Canadian Trade Commissioner in London, when it is realized, that the elapsed time be- tween the killing of the hog in Canada and the purchase of the bacon by the consumer in the United Kin.gdom is many times greater than under peacetime marketing conditions. Lend Your Golf Clubs Many men in the R.A.F. School at Clinton and Port Albert have ex. pressed a wish to play over the course at the Seaforth Golf Culb, but have been prevented because of lack of golf clubs, Anyone who has clubs not in use, or would be willing to lend their clubs, would confer a great favor upon these service mot if they would leave any spare clubs at G. D. Ferguson's hardware store, or notify him where clubo might be secured when asked for. —Huron Expositor, Seaforth. • • 1 , • 1 i ,:,, ... =, ' ..: • .• • . . .- . , , •,.,.,'„::41MIIIIIMM--,f• , ' , • ., , ' '* ..• 441 AY-.
