So here I am, sittingat my desk, ready to give the highlights of the week, while from the kitchen comes the sound of dishes being rattled -dishes which actually, am not washing. Altogether it has been quite a week -trying to work in a bit of gadding along with the pickling and canning: And that isn't' just as easy as it might be. But we managed it. After all we don't want our visitor to go back to England without see- ing something of Canada other than our hundred acres * * * One day we went to Guelph. Did $ bit of shopping in the morning so Cicely could see what our Canadian stores have to offer and then, after a restaurant lunch we went up to the College and gave most of the build- fngs,a quick "once over," including the veterinary college which I had not visited before. Cicely was very favourably impressed with our O:A.C,; thought the buildings were good, the grounds nicely laid out and very well cared for. Once she re- marked -"Of course it is all very new, isn't it?* That, of course, is a comparison one always comes up against with visitors from the Old Country. Canada's oldest buildings are admittedly "new" as compared with the historic abbeys, churches, castles and cathedrals in Britain, many of them dating back to the eleventh century -and many still re - I TEST YOUR 1.

Even ,the old Bar Gate in much -bombed Souhanlpton still stands unscathed. * * * The scenic grounds at the Guelph Reformatory were very much ad- mired; for one reason because labour, which might otherwise have been wasted, had been put to good use. And surely something worth while would penetrate to the inner being of men who worked on such a grand piece of creative work. An- other place of interest to us was the Guelph Roman Catholic Church . , a beautiful structure . majestic, im- pressive. How could it be otherwise situated as it is upon a high hill overlooking the city to which all eyes must turn irrespective of re- ligious beliefs, ' * * * Another day we went to Hamil- ton and of cour.e there the Rock Garden was the plain attraction. We had another friend with us that day and how I enjoyed seeing both friends enjoy themselves wandering here and there among the Gardens. One of them said she would be quite happy to stay there all day. How- ever, there was something else I wanted them to see so we went on to the city, parked the car on a side street -i pesky parking meters for me -and then visited Hamilton's justly famous "Gift Shop." There we feasted our eyes on all kinds of beautifu' imported china. It pleased Cicely immensely. As she put it - "I don't think people in England w.iuld mind using cracked cups and u'ility dishes nearly so much if they ciuld only see for themselves this wonderful displa; of fine china, proof beyond doubt that Old Eng- land can still make and deliver the goods even in this chaotic post --war world. We hear so much about our exports but this is the first time I have really seen what is being made both in china and in dress goods. Somehow it gives me new hope for the future. * * * Well, I can hear the kittens being talked to that means the dishes are finished and the kittens are now enjoying a luscious meal of bread and warm mills. They have separate identities no and respond -more or less -to the names of Matthew, Mark, Martha and Mary. Whiskey is a very good mother. She knows exactly where she wants to take them, and why. Sometimes I open the kit"U,..1 door and in walks Whisky wtih the four kittens trail- ing behind her. Matthew is always in the lead while Martha brings up the rear. The way Whisky trails her offspring around reminds me very much of Daisy and her pups in "Blondie." It is funny to see them boing through a small space by the woodshed door and always in single file.

The Very "Latest" In Mobile Libraries The newest thing in library ser- vice is the York Township book- mobile -a library on wheels. Con- fronted with t h e problem of providing library service for this suburban section of Toronto, the York Township Public Library Board, with the assistance of re- gular government grants for public libraries, decided that only a book- mobile would adequately cover the large, scattered area. The bookmobile is a large bus - like unit, with the exterior color scheme of canary and green. The interior is decorated in ivory, red and black. Red leather -covered benches and a small writing table are furnished for the librarian's use. The travelling library is equipped with two folding -type doors, pro- viding an entrance at the front and an exit toward the rear of the bus. At each of the ten stations where the bookmobile library service is operated, a specially designed pad- locked electrical outlet is available for use. A special electrical con- duit at the rear of the vehicle is plugged into the electrical connec- tion, thus providing the bookmobile with heat and light in the winter and cooling fans and light in the summer. The roof is equipped with four double glass skylights. The whole of the vehicle is specially insulated with two inches of insula- tion. * * * The interior of the bookmobile resembles a well -arranged alcove in any library.. Long rows of shelves, from floor fo ceiling, hold approximately 2,200 books on a wide variety of subjects, including some of the latest and best fiction. Children's books number 900, adult classed books 700, and adult fiction, 600. A weekly time -table is followed, consisting of ten stops in different parts of the Townships, with all but one for two-hour periods. They arc arranged so that both adults and children may take advantage of the service. The staff consists of a librarian and a driver -assistant. On busy stops assistance is given : by one or two high school students.

Thrips may stunt the plants; a swarm of .leaf- hoppers can bring mosaic; and corn borers have a way of eating into the stems. But the prospect of good dahlias has become much better since the production of DDT. Applied as a - dust or spray it will control all three of the above-named pests. For aphids, nicotine should be added. Once every ten days is the general recommendation. i' * * Now is the time to get ready for that strawberry 1 ed you're 'planning for next year -in fact you shouldn't waste any time. The bed must be well dug and fertilized. Put in at once, pot -grown plants have a fine chance to establish themselves for the winter; but don't forget that they must be well watered through- out the fall. * * * There are lots of folks who con- fuse the harmless Virginia creeper, or woodbine, with poison ivy and give it an unnecessarily wide berth whenever they come across it. Actually the two are easily dis- tinguished. The creeper has fewer aerial roots, which branch at the tips and bear nearly circular discs where the tips come in contact with a wall, tree trunk or other support. But the most noticeable difference is the compound leaves. Those of Virginia creeper have five leaflets branching from the leaf stalk, in- stead of thethree as on poison ivy, and each leaflet generally has a saw- toothed margin. "You can shake hands with five fingers but not with three" is a good aid to memory. * * * Do you grow phlox in your garden? Then it's worth• while knowing that if you cut off the first clusters of hardy phlox just as soon as the blossoms fade it will prevent their going to seed and also encour- age late bloom from the side shoots. * * * The majority of gardeners rarely get more than one or two pickings of cucumbers before the quality be- comes so poor that they are of little use, and often the vines die com- pletely. Cucumbers grow readily, but are subject to so may insect at- tacks and diseases that many con- sider them a difficult crop to grow. Cucumbers grow best in light, well -drained soil, where they get plenty of full sunlight but are pro- tected from the wind. Selection of the right varieties for your location is important, and they require heavy fertilization. The worst enemy of this crop is the striped cucumber beetle which sometimes come in such numbers overnight that they kill the plants completely before injury is even suspected. Although it's too late to do anything of the kind this year, the only real' protection is to cover the plants with a cloth or wire screen when the seed is sown, and • leave it on just as long as possible. Such protectors pay for them- selves because they can be used for several seasons and reduce the cost of insecticides. Plants not receiving such protection should be sprayed with rotenone or cryolite as soon as they're above ground and until the beetles disappear completely. During the bearing season plant lice are destructive to cucumbers. Dusting or spraying with nicotine, pyrethrum - or rotenone once a week before the leaves curl will help hold such pests in check. Like most vine crops cucumbers grow well aver a mulch that is deep enough to con- trol weeds. They also like to climb on a trellis or support of poles. Four poles, placed about four feet apart round each hill of cucumbers can be tied together like a tent, and with a little encouragement your cuctnnher vines twill climb to the top. This makes the vines easy to spray or dust, and the cucumbers easy to harvest. Pick your cucum- bers just as soon as they are ready, whether you intend to use them int - mediately or not. Any left on the vines beyond this period prevent new fruit frons setting. * ,k And here's an old lady's advice on choosing a gardcuer: "Look at his trousers. If they're patched in the knees, you want him. If they're patched in the seat, you don't."
