T h e Seaforth News Phone 84 CHEESE MEALS The fifth anniversary of the Na- tional( Cheese week will be held dur- ing the week commencing 'November 7. The object of National Cheese week is to call attention to the value of cheese as a: wholesome and eco- nomical food, and also to serve as a reminder that Canada is world- famous for its cheese and that cheese making is a leading feature of Can- ada's important dairy industry.

It reminds nue too much of home." , Notice toCreditors, 3 wks. for $2.50. DOGS OF' 'WAR A dispatch froth ;Harbin, Manchu- kuo, says: "Dogs had their day bete when Of them, trained for war, were ,paraded through the city ¢luring. defense demonstrations." Another from Germany puts the number of Pinschers, Rottweilers and shepherds being made ready for war at 1510,000. A battalion of dogs is attached to each German infantry regiment; it takes' (part in ,parades, and is ;drilled Ifitotn a training manual as punctilious as the manual of arms. In ;England, Major Richardson's famous dog school is an established :center, of military training. Dogs ;hag° gone forth to battle ever since man has hurled army against army. 'Wall writings of 4000 BC. silo* that the 'Egyptians used 'savage dogs to repel invasion. Against their foes, the Celts loosed. fierce dogs armed with sharp spiked collars. Eng- land's Henry VIII sent Charles V, of. Spain 400 English terriers, and "so courageously did they ;fight that the enemy were' thoroughly routed." Frederick the Great, first to 'see their :value in modern warfare, used collies as sentries, ambulance aides and mes- sengers—functions that dogs per- formed with distinction during the World War. I.0 the trench fighting in France, legions of dogs, ;both thoroughlbred and mongrel, were with the Red Cross and ambulance corps. Their senses of smell and hearing—eight times as acute as man's—enable them night or day to 'find the wounded who had crawled into [Obscure shell holes. The dogs were taught by practice with •dummies and live models to dis- regard the dead, and not to bark when they came upon the wounded. !Equipped with first-aid kits, they stood patiently by while the anpured, if able, helped themselves. Then, tearing off a piece of uniform, they dashed away to the kennels and re- turned with stretcher [bearers. Some d ogs saved hundreds of lives. One dog in the French army, after a two- day ;battle, nosed out 'five men who, wounded in 'the first hours, were so well hidden that no man would have found them. A Belgian police dog piled up a record of 2000 men saved in less than a year. The Airedales with the English forces excelled as scouts and sentries. They could detect odors and sounds • Grandma always was a keen shopper and quick to "snap up" a bargain ... but you'll recognize these BARGAIN OFFERS' without her years of ex- perience ... you save real money ... you get a swell selection of magazines and a full year of our newspaper.

They c'ouVd dis- tin,guish between the uniforms of friend and foe, and sokeen were their !memories that some of 'them obeyed, as many as 000 words. They were not afraid of ,gunfire; sent out on recon- naissance, they came back notifying the patrols ;by .low growls that Ger- man raiding parties had left their trenches several 'hundred yards away in the ,dark, They guided scouting expeditions to enemy machine-gun nests. In Flanders, the Belgians used their shepherd dogs to pull machine guns, claiming they were snore de- pendable than horses under fire ibe- cause of their 'flair for evading the enemy and keeping the .guns from capture, In Russia, northern Huskies, equipped with gas masks, carried hundreds of rounds of ammunition to thefront lines,' weaving their way through a deluge of ;bullets and gas. In Italy, dagS toted supplies to men in the high mountains, taking.. short cuts up passes too steep for horse or elan to climb. Dogs can carry am- munition up to 45 ,pounds; using a simple attachment, they can lay a tel- ephone wire. 'Today canine legions are being drilled throughout Europe. In Frank- fort, at the largest .dog school in the world, it is reported that the classes have a total attendance of 200 at a time. And at Jena the ' governnlent has a hospital devoted exclusively to its army dogs. France, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Bulgaria all have mili- tary colleges for dogs. The pupils are taught to go out on' reconnaissance; to get through dangerous places with messages and supplies; to transport machine guns and ammunition over difficult ground; to overcome an enemy by disarming him, tripping him and .holding him at bay; and to carry time explosives and gas bombs into enemy dines. PERENNIAL ASTERS OR MIOHAEL',1VIAS DAISIES (Experimental Farms News) Many persons are familiar- with the wild asters that .grow to: the roadside in many parts of Canada and it in from these and other wild species that the garden varieties .have been obtain- ed. In late summer the Italian Aster, A.amellus. blooms. The variety 'King George is one :of the best and has large purple Rowers on stems about eighteen inches tall. Later in the sea- son the New York asters (Novi-Bel- gil) commence to ;bloom. There area large member of garden varieties which vary in date of 'bloom and in the colour of the flowers, states Isabella Preston, Assistant in Ornamental ;Plant Breeding, Division of Horticulture, Dominion. Depart- ment of Agriculture. Some of the best are; Blue, Beauty of Colwall, Blue Gent and Feltham Blue; Pink, Alderman Yokes, Heather Glow and Pink Nymph; White, Mount ;Everest. These varieties should ,be divided ev- ery second year to keep them in good condition, The New England Asters are the hardiest and easiest to grow tut the flowers are not so refined as those of the New `fork variety. The plants are four and five feet tall and rapidly grow into large clumps so should be divided frequently, 'They are very useful for the back of peren- nial borders as` they remain colourful until late in the autumn. Ryecroft Purple has rich .purple flowers and Lil FardeU is deep rose. The new Dwarf asters are of recent origin and a proving very useful for rock gardens as well as for the front of the perennial border. The plants cover themselves with .flowers and add spots of colour in the, garden just when needed. Of the ones grown at the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa, the following were specially noted. Bluebird is one of the darkest and blooms late in September. Lady Hen- ry :vfaddocks is pick and blooms from August to November. Victor is one of the best early varieties being a plass of lavender flowers from the 'be- ginning of September to early Octo- ber, These plants do best in good loam which does not dry out. They flower well in sun or shade. Spraying with a tobacco solution is sometimes necessary in order to control aphis and a lace wing :fly which are some- times troublesome. Insect Ravages The European corn borer, as men- tioned in the September. Report, de- creased in number in Essex and Kent counties, 'but is still quite abundant there in some' localities. East of Tor- onto it is about the same, on the aver- age, as .in 19317. In Middlesex, Lamb- ton, Elgin and !Norfolk counties there has been a decided increase. 'Elgin and Lam'bton at present are the most heavily infested counties. White grubs are eery numerous in sandy sod areas in Hastings and Pe- terborough counties. As they are only in the first stage they will do meth more damage next year when they will be in the second year stage and therefore. tenger than In .119318.

Squash bugs are still numerous, es- pecially in gardens. Grasshoppers are more abundant than usual in almost every area visited. It is probable that if 'the weather next spring is favora- ble they may cause a good deal of da- mage, especially in waste lands, old pastures and meadows and crops im- mediately surrounding these. ,Zebra caterpillars in the northern part of Peel and a few other areas are very abundant on turnips. The variegated outworm and the greenhouse deaf tyer 'have injured some fields of celery in the Burling- ton area, Stored grain insects seemed to be decidedly more abundant in .farm ,gra- naries than in the average year. 'These insects are capable of causing grain to heat, Running the grain through a fanning mill on a cold day will take out the insects and allow the grain to cool down: Farm Interests Enlarged at the Royal Winter Fair 'The Royal Winter Fair at Toronto which opened on Tuesday, November 15th, to run through the 123rd, has a program of greater variety' in farm activities, larger prize .lists, and wider scope generally than at any Fair in its '117 -year history. In commercial and breeding horses, beef and dairy •cattle, sheep, and swine there promise to be larger en- tries than in .19317 and a good repre- sentation of American stables and herds is already assured. The prairie provinces, "coming back" with a large wheat and grain crop, are send- ing more stock than at any time since (1934, probably running to 35 or 410 railway cars, Distribution of ex- hibits among the three western prov- inces is also more even than at any previous time. Changes and improve- ments have been made in the judging schedules and in the accommodation. A much enlarged seed and grain show is listed with the hope that the fine condition' of the crops will per- mit the exhibits this year to measure up to the high ideals of its Promoters for making this feature of the Royal Winter Fair a leader on this contin- ent. Large entries have cone in from almost every province. In the poultry division the working farmer and the small producer .of eggs and poultry will find their needs catered For in the vast exhibit by the combined .poultry industry, Dominion Department of Agriculture, and man- ufacturers of equipment. This is a novel feature of the Fair this year and in itself should be well worth a visit to Toronto from any part of Ontario. The swine position appears to be getting brighter and pure bred breed- ers are enthusiastic about prospects this winter. They are, therefore, showing at the Royal to the limit of their pens. In sheep also, the steady increase in lamb consumption throu- ghout Canada and the widened mar- ket has encouraged sheep 'breeders to larger representation in the ten breeds that have featured the Ro_yal exhibit for several years past. As there are altogether 15;000 head of livestock, including poultry, turk- eys, ducks, geese, small pet stock (as well as ;6100 outstanding dogs.and 300 of Canada's 'best cats) the Fair gives every farmer a chance of seeing' very much in the 25 -acre space it covers. Owing to the considerably reduced production of alfalfa seed in the Uni- ted States this season, there should be a good demand for Canadian seed, states the Canadian Trade Commis- sioner to New York. The reduction in the United States alfalfa crop was caused largely by heavy infestation of grasshoppers in the' more northern producing areas and by excessive rains in regions east of the Mississip- pi. . The three 'essential" elements of fertility are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, These elements have re- ceived this name, not because they are any more essential to the growth of. crops than the other nine or ten ele- ments entering into the composition of plant tissues, but because they are the three elements which ; trust be constantly returned to the soil if its productiveness is to be n%aiittained Ontario, and Dunham counties, the `.under ordinary systems of ;fanning,
