Henderson of town brought to this office a branch, pick- ed from •his own berry patch bearing a cluster of large, well formed ripe raspberries. How is that for a record in this part of Ontario? These ber- ries were on display in . our office window for several days. If any of you can beat this, just drop in and tell us about it." The above is front the Wingham Advance -Times. On several occasions people have brought samples of ripe raspberries into this office and one lady told us a week or so ago that she had picked enough to serve' her family f tea.,There is an cm ever -bearing type of raspberry which will go on bearing until the frost comes. That is the kind this lady has in her gar- den. It is when one of these vines are found among the ordinary ones that it is thought so out of the or- dinary. SOME CURIOUS RETURNS Farming and gardening, contrary to the idea of some that they are dull, uninteresting jobs, are 'in real- ity full of adventure. You plant your seed and trust to luck, or the purity of the seed, that they will re- produee thein: kind, and they usually do. But sometimes there's a surprise. in store, as was the case with Mr. Howard Shobbrook, who bought some tomato plants last spring from a local dealer and one, of them, in- stead 'of developing tomatoes sent out yellow blossoms, which develop- oiled into prickly seed pods, the whole plant being covered with sharp. prickles, a giganticlike thistle. Mr. Shobbrook brought a bit of the plant into this office and Representative MacLeod is sending it in to ,Guelph to have it named. 1VI,r. Shobbrook also bought some pumpkin seed and planted it, one vine therefrom bringing forth the sort of table squash which look like vegetable dishes. This was a dark- skinned one, not at all the color of the golden pumpkin, but we assured Mr. Shobbrook that they are really Very good to eat whencooked, and .some people cook them in their skins, from which they can be eaten AN ENJOYABLE PARTY A pleasant little party was held on 'Thursday evening in the Murphy Lodge rooms over the Public Library, when a number of the friends of Mr. S.

Mrs. Fred Rangy won the ladies' first and Mr, Stewart Taylor the gentlemen's first prize; Mrs. R. MacDonald took the ladies' booby and Mr. F. Bawden the' gentle- men's booby. Wlhen the games were concluded the ladies .served refresh- ments and at the conclusion of this Mr, A. W. Groves called the company to attention while he read the follow- ing address: "To Mr. and Mas. S. Castle: We are assembled this evening as a company of your close friends and admirers, to offer our felicitations on the most important event of your lives, that of establishing a home of your own.
