"Dear Anne Hirst: Six months ago, I discovered that my hus- band was seeing another woman. , I told him he must give her up, or leave our son and me, He promised he would not see her again, and so did she. Now I find they did not stop meeting —and she tells me she loves him, and doesn't think she is breaking up my home! Incidentally, she owns her home, holds a good po- sition, and gets an allowance for her child. We own nothing, not even our furniture. "Last week, after a long per- iod of unemployment, my hus- band got a position. I've been working to help out, but we are behind in aur bills. He says when we're on our feet again, he will leave! ...

I've tried everything but nothing helped. Once I pretended I had a date, which did seem to upset him. I believe there is good in him, and I have faith. He says he loves our boy, but I don't know. . Now I am thinking of moving out, and letting him go. It wouldn't be any worse torture than seeing him dress to take her out, and not even pretending he isn't! What do you advise? S, M. 0."

We were just anout to go back to each other when her Dad broke us up again. He won't let her out of the house (he's afraid she'll come back to see me) and he has threatened to shoot me if I go there. "Neither my wife nor I want a divorce, but her Dad is going to make her get it anyway.... . I asked him to come down and talk things over, but he won't even do that.

After all, * she is married to you, and * should be able to see you it * she wants to.

When attending a church wedding and the usher places you in a seat where you haven't a good view, isn't it all right to change your seat? A. No. The usher probably has his instructions as to seating, and you should remain where you are seated in order to avoid any possible confusion. * Q. Is it all right, when dining in a public room, to wipe off the eating utensils with the napkin? A. Never! If one notices that the utensils are not perfectly clean, one should always call the attention of the waiter to this and have them exchanged for clean ones. * * * Q. Is it proper for a business man to rise when a woman visi- tor enters his office? A. Busy though he might be, the man can certainly afford to rise when a woman visitor en- ters. He does not rise, however, if the woman is an employee of his company. 1 ,��, \ tu HRONICLES 1N a CU/er,doiir ' P C1nrku ',,„n,on, Last Wednesday this distriet, in company with many other districts, all the way from Tor- onto to Niagara, experienced a terrific electrical storm lasting several hours, For over an hour I watched dark, forbidding clouds gather in the east and I was fervently hoping Partner would be through milking be- fore the storm broke, Suddenly the cows began bawling. Are they somewhere they shouldn't be, I wondered? Or is it one of the heifers with her head caught in the fence again? I ran out to investigate but there was noth- ing wrong that I could see, So I went down the barn — may- be Partner would know what all the bawling was about, He did, "It is Jane," he said, "with a new calf, out in the back pas- ture. We shall have to get her home — can't leave her all night without being milked, not in the shape she is in — too much chance of milk fever." 1 said nothing, although I was almost petrified, Go after a cow and calf and the storm likely to break any minute! But you know how it it — a good farmer thinks first of his livestock — and for a job like that•^two people are better than one. So presently we were out in the pasture, I watch- ing the clouds which Partner didn't seem to see at all. Jane soon led us to theback of the field where she had hidden her calf, Then began the slow jour- ney home, Partner driving Jane and the calf ahead of him — except when they decided other- wise — and I keeping back the heifers and dry cows that were also in the same pasture, As soon as we were in the back lane cows from the other field came racing 'over to the lane fence t0 investigate, You never heard such a bawling setout. Finally we got Jane home, and, after much twisting and turning, into the stable, with the calf close beside her. Then I left Partner with the sweet job of milking Jane while I headed for the house. Before I reached it thun- der was cracking sharply over- head and the rain came down in sheets. It almost seemed as if Providence had held back the storm until our job was done. The next morning . . , fields flooded, creek running swift and strong like a spring freshet, tree limbs scattered here and there; on some farms bridges and culverts had been washed away and a few hydro trans- formers had been blown out. Of course we had hay out — a big field cut but not raked. In fact the alfalfa in this one field is so heavy it will be enough to see us through the winter — IF we , can get it in. But that is a big "If," in fact farming these days is one big if after another, But there is still hope of farmers making out all right if we can keep our overhead down. And that is the biggest "if" Of all. With labour costs and capital in- vestment so high the margin of profit is naturally very slim. Wheat going down and bread going up is another little prob- lem that is hard to fathom. Yes, I know the answer can be found in world trade agreements, and in the U.S. embargo on dairy products, but it all seems very involved to average farm folk — and so little we can do about it — except to keep down that overhead. But how? The ur- gency to get things done has taken the place of everyday economy; saving time has be- come more important than sav- ing money, if you know what I mean. That is, we Often spend a lot of money to save a little r time. Keeping pdce with modern methods of farming is also an expensive business, For instance, the Oshawa district is planning a bulk milk collection system, The initial cost to the producer for equipment so that he can take advantage of this scheme will run from $1,600 to $2,200. In ad- dition farm lanes and loading yards must be put in good con- dition to accomodate the 10,000 pound tonic -truck necessary for collecting the milk, One ollicial agreed the benefit to the small shipper would hardly make up for the investment required. So what happens to the small shipper? Then we have the pro- posed Co-operative Mills Sur- plus Plan at Toronto, the esti- mated cost ofwhich is $250,000. Come on, Tiossies if you want anything to do with that milk plant you had bolter get busy. It will take a lot of mills to finance an undertaking like that. How- ever, it may be that more cream will soon be bought by Mrs. Housewife, "if" an experiment now underway in the U,S. should prove successful — that is, dried cream powder, which they claim is as kood as fresh cream, when mixed with water; and of course it solves the problem of keeping cream sweet. So perhaps the Milk Surplus Plant will borrow the idea and put dried cream the idea and put dried cream powder on the Canadian mar- ket before the chain stores start importing it from the States.
