begins to boil over,
Now Is Best Time
To Plant Peonies
* * * Peonies are general garden favor -
TAKE A TIP:
To make a flaky pie -crust more
care must be taken than in, mak-
ing a crumbly crust. Very soft
fats do not make as nice a flaky
crust as the firmer fats (lard or
shortening).
Sift flour and measure, Acicl salt.
In mixing the ingredients for cold
water pastry be sure the shorten-
ing and water are cold.
Cut two-thirds of the fat in, using
two knives — one in each hand
"pencil style," or pick and drop
pieces of fat with some flour until
mixture is like coarse oatmeal,
Sprinkle a little water on at a
time using a fork to toss the mix-
ture together,
;When the mixture can be mould-
ed together place on a slightly
floured board arid roll out with a
floured rolling pin, Dot on pieces
of the remaining fat. Fold and
roll up hi wax paper. Place in up-
per part of electric refrigerator
for at least 15 minutes.
Divide into portions for, the num-
ber of sheets and rolls out, raising
at the end of each stroke.
Shift the sheet of pastry around
a couple of times while rolling
into a circular shape. Then flip in
half shape which makes it easier
to lift a pie plate; unfold and
press into shape of plate. Prick
several places to prevent "bub-
bles." Put in Oiling.
Roll out top crust quickly, Make
slashes or cut-outs for steam to
escape. Lightly dampen the edge
of the lower crust. Place top on,
trim with sharp knife using a
downward stroke, or clip, with
shears to within % inch of plate
and fold under.

Ing. Add cold water by spoonfuls,' between the forefinger and the

under a great variety -of climatic
conditions. They will not grow well
in poor, sandy soil nor in a position
which is flooded for any length" of
time in spring.
September is the best time to
divide and transplant peonies, but
they should not be moved more often
than once in five years unless there
is some special reason for doing so,
says Miss Isabella Preston, Horticul-
tural Division, Central Experimental
Farni, Ottawa. Choose a fine day for
digging up the plants and take care
not to damage the roots, which in a
large plant may go down for a foot
or more. The leaves of the plant
should be cut off before starting to
dig, the loose earth removed from
the roots which should be kept. ex-
posed to the ah' for a few hours,
Wash off all the soil with water. Ex-
amine the root carefully in order to
find out where it can be divided with
as little damage to the tubers as
possible. A very large clump can be
divided by forcing a digging' fork
down into the centre, but smaller
ones can be forced apart by hand.
Each division must consist of a
tuber with two or three • eyes; '"but
divisions consisting of several tub-
ers with six or seven eyes are better
for the ordinary gardener.
Before planting, the ground should
be well dug and if possible some well
rotted manure added and well mixed
in. The root should be placed so thbt
there is about two inches of soil
above the crown, Too deep planting
is frequently the cause of peonies
not blooming. A mulch should be put
on the first year after the soil has
frozen, but when the plants are well
established no mulch' is necessary.
The leaves should be cut off each

and volume of credit are matters

Canada's Chartered Banks exist to perform
two main services:
1. They receive the savings and other
funds of the public, who thus build up
bank balances in the form of savings and
current accounts.
2. They advance short term loans to
persons or enterprises needing money and
able to repay within a stated period.
Along with these main functions
the banks, through more than
3,000 branches and sub -agencies,
render a large number of other
important services related to local
and national needs —services
which have greatly increased as
a result of the war.
But the quantity of money in
existence in the country at any
given time, and the volume of
credit, are matters of high
national monetary policy. The
nation's own central bank, the
Bank of Canada, determines them
The Bank of Canada makes ex-
tensive use .of the Chartered
Banks' facilities in giving effect
to these policies.
The Chartered Banks' responsibility, clearly established and regulated •
by the Bank Act, is in the realm of commercial banking—that is, to
receive deposits and to serve the needs of trade and industry,

Keep Feed Bags

Many farmers ma.y ]:now 11
temptation when mixing live story
rations to get the feed bag open in
a hul'rY. Instead of opening the seam
by cutting the string, they may slash
the bag.
It is not only illegal now to de-
stroy or even to mediate a jute or
cotton bag, bzt it is unnecessary..
Bags need not be torn by handling
with ]rooks; they can be lifted by
hand. They need not have their fibres
'weakened through storing in a damp
place; they can be well shaken and
hung over 'a wire hi a high. dry ,J.11't

But even better than storing empty
bags In the barn is to get them back
