Here was everybody enjoy- ing the riot of colour in late- blooming gardens and along comes Jack Frost and spoils it all. One day lots of colour; the next a sorry looking mess of. black leaves and stems. But I suppose everyone was on the alert for frost and rescued what- ever it was desired should be saved. We did anyway -- so now the garden has moved in- doors, My "redding up" operations have been temorarily suspended by other jobs, and also by visit- ing and being visited. Monday night and Tuesday I was in To- ronto; Wednesday and Thurs- day in Guelph; Friday and Saturday back in harness, mak- ing up for lost time with our guests. Yes, I actually went away while they were here, Awful, wasn't it? But you see our visit - ore come and go as they please. If we have previous committ- nments before they come they jeer move in and make them- e lvei: at home. That method simplifies everything for every- body — and so far as I can see it is the logical method for busy people. Partner has his own way of entertaining. He generally has a few jobs lined up at which the gentleman of the party can assist, You see, we have not yet acquired a tele- vision set so we can't while away the time that way, Who wants to "while away the time" anyhow? With two men an the job I now have a nice new clothes- line ready for next washday. I wonder --- why is it so hard for a woman to get a clothesline fixed? When Art and Des moved into their new house it was sev- eral weeks before Art had "time" to put up a new line. It was just the same here. I bought new galvanized wire months ago but as long as the old rusty wire didn't collapse Partner couldn't see that a new line was neces- sary. Men must be allergic to clotheslines. Thank goodness my worries in that respect are over for awhile — or they should be with a new wire and two new ports. Our twin heifer calves are coming along fine. Partner has decided not to sell them for veal but raise them for breeding pur- poses. That, of course, brings up a controversial question . , . are twin heifers sterile? For years old-timers advised us not to keep twin heifers — they would never get in calf ... so they told us. We believed it until we found it to be false. Some time ago we kept twin heifers and they each bad a family. In one case twins were also born to one of the twin heifers. So that's one theory exploded. Now we would like to know if there is any proven theory as to what causes feather -pulling in pullets. Last year, as I may have men- tioned before, we bought ready - to -lay pullets. Some of them had lost a lot of feathers before we got them but we thought new surroundings might prove a distraction and break them of their had habit. Not a bit of it —they kept it up until they started killing each other, se then we sold the whole pen: This year we bought pullets from the same farmer — same age and same breed. They have never lost a feather. The farmer who raised them thinks that last year the feather -pulling SHORT CUT TO POPULARITY—Nancy Wichlei ignores her pet French poodle to gaze at her other pet—a llama.

This year's chickens were brought along with an ordinary coal -brooder stove and gave no trouble at all. What is your theory? Honey, our cocker spaniel is now unexpectedly proving the truth of another theory, You may remember that Honey is now a city dog. Honey and Dave are almost inseparable. One will hardly move without the other, in spite of the fact that Honey gets some awful mauling from Dave. We have always under- stood that cocker spaniels were good guard dogs for children but we had an idea that Honey was too friendly with everyone to be much of a protector. Well, the other day Daughter had to go to a funeral and asked Mrs. iT MAY BE YOUR LIVER If life'a not worth living it may be your liver It's a fact!

In due time Dave wakened from his afternoon nap and Mrs. ran down to pick hirp up, But Honey snapped, growled and showed her teeth and refused to let Mrs. come anywhere near Dave. Eventually, with Dave's help, Mrs. - - - got Honey into a more friendly mood and all was well. She wouldn't have acted that way if Dee had been there. But since Dee was out out Honey evidently thought it was her duty to take over. My niece in Deep River has a cocker spaniel who acts the sante way as Honey. He sits out- side by the baby carriage while the baby is asleep and woe be- tide anyone who comes near that buggy. So, mothers with young child- ren, if you want a guard dog for your infant better try a cocker spaniel. But don't overfeed him or he'll soon be as broad as he's long, When Dave's cookies go overboard it is Honey who gets them. She is always on hand watching hopefully. As a result she is like a little round, honey - colour, furry barrel. HAPPY CHOICE "Aren't you ashamed of your- self?" asked the temperance reformer. "Day in and day out you are in a stale of alcoholic intoxication. "Already you show the symp- toms of a man on the verge of delirium tremens. And I under- stand that some poor girl has been foolish enough to accept your proposal of marriage. I shudder for her, and for you." "Never mind, old chap," re- plied the hopeless case, with a grin, 'The girl I'm going to marry is a snake charmer."

Co -researchers Dr, Heinz L. Frankel-Conrat and 'Dr. Robley Williams, made the experiment. It was hailed as "an utterly fantastic discovery on the borderline of life" by Dr, Wendell M.

Atright, rod -like objects are "rebuilt" viruses, constructed with inert protein and nucleic acid parts of the virus in an alko•- line solution.
