Good cutlery is the first.re- quisite. Have plenty of paring knives and see that they have good cutting edges. A du'tl knife wastes both the time and food, since it is more diffi- cult to make thin paring. Paring knives with gay enamelled • handlles make the ever -recurring peeling pro- cess a bit more colonful.. ;Stainless. steel knives are good in that they re- quire no scouring. IIn the 'next place, why ,peel -things when it is not necessary to do so? ,Apple sauce is quite as good trade from unpeeled apples and requires much less time. Wash the apples, ,Quarter; reprove the cores and any blemished parts, Cover with water and boil till .soft, Mash through the col- ander. The shells will stay in the col- ander while the .pulp will go through, There is less waste this way than if the apples are peeled, since only a thin part of the skin is discarded, Young carrots, oyster plant, and shni'lar vegetables should be scraped much as new potatoes are, 'This re- moves only the outer film. IBoiling potatoes in their jackets should be muchmore generally prac- ticed, .as paring them after they are cooked is a niuch speedier process. To peel onions, scald then in much the same manner as tomatoes and the outer skins will then slip off easily. PARTY PEARS. Peel pears which are ,firm and whole and with the stem on. Or, if desired,' the pears may be peeled, cut in half lengthwise, stent removed ,and core discarded. Cook slowly until tender its a sufficient quantity of water to which an equal quantity of granulated sugar has been added and to which green vegetable coloring also has been .added. Add the coloring matter a 'little at a time. ``.A small bunchof mint leaves, in addition to the coloring, may be added and the Mint flavor cooked intd the pears, afterward straining out the leaves ,when the pears are tender. The pears cooked without mint should be served on a ,glass dis'h with mayon- naise made with l'em'on juice instead of vinegar, or mayonnaise to which a little lemon juice has'' been 'added. Iif the pears have been cut in half, place the hollow side up and lay in it a maraschino cherry, and serve with the lemon -flavored mayonnaise.

It mustn't be supposed, though, that restraint and unselfishness are the only virtues required of a great symphony orchestra. Sometimes end- less -patience is demanded as weli— notab'ly from the man who plays the triangle. 'Not infre'quen'tly the tai - angle player, owing to a lack of dats or "notes" on his music, is obliged to sit in complete idleness, sometimes for hours, while the oboes and violins exe'cute the enost intricate movements and simply cover themselves with glory. Needless to say, this self- expression requires great strength of character, and weak triangle players sometimes break d'o'wn under 'the strain and, when 'the conductor isn't looking, play their' triangles surrep- titiously. This is considered to be very bad forst in triangle •circles, par- ticularly as detection mean's ex- pulsion from the orchestra. 1I1 may be asked by readers with triangles of their awn Why "this pretty instrument is so •neglected by the great compos- ers. 'Why are thereto beautiful pas- sages arranged for the' triangle, as there are for the violin, and the piano, and what is vulgarly called the 'wood- w'ind,' This is answered 'by a gifted am- ateur :triangle player, who was once priviliged to ask (Wagner, with whom she !happened to be having tea at the •time. "Tell me," she said, putting down leer cup and looking the famous com- poser squarely in the eyes,"w'heh you make up those pieces of yours why do you never put in a. snappy bit for the 'triangle?" "Eth " said Wagner,t obviously tak- en aback by this unexpected question. s"Olh, you heard mief" said the lady, defiantly for site had 'the courage of a rat, when 'cornered. "I said when you snake np those, .pieces of yours, why do you never put in a snappy bit for the triangle?". "Oh," said Wagner—rather sulkily my. aunt thought. !Still, s'he•was not a woman to be defeated easily in argument. Without more ado She 'carried the 'fight into "the enemy's camp," "'W'el4, why don't yott, anyway?" she asked archly. "Is it because the triangle doesn't make enough noise for 'you?" "Yes, it is if you must knowp' snap- ped 'Wagner, perfectly' furious to be caught out like that by a mere wo- man. 'And, without another word, he turned his ,back on my aunt an'd :be- gan to compose ,ntagnilficent "crash" for the cymbals, As y'ou can guess, my Aunt lost no time int telling 'that story to her City friends, and it twaan't long before it was going the rounds of the Stock Exc'h'ange, with, I am sorry to say, certa'in rather rislque additions, typic- al of'the business world, that caused my relative the gravest annoyance. And now, !before 'leaving the sub- ject OE triangles, iI hope for ever, I should 'l'i'ke to recall .a little incident of my old symphony 'orchestra days when I was once (privileged to share a imusi'e stand 'with 'a triangle 'player, and so 'cath speak of these men's feel- ings from person al experience: During a whole symphony by (Brahms, •consisting of :four ,move- stents,: namely, :Allegro con brio, An- dante, :'Paco alle'greto and. Allegro - Phis triangle 'playerwand tI' had only seven niggardly ,little notes to (play between us, and, naturally, we were most dissatisfied with our lot. (However, at Ifinst we were 'too proud to reveal •our true feelings; and all through the iAllcgro con brio we'nod- ded and smiled to each other as if we hadn't a care in The world. (Right in the middle o'f'the Poco al- legretto, though, My companion put 'The world wheat conference after many weeks' nego'tia'tions on Friday finally reached an agreement. It sets a maximum of 5160,000,000bushels for export from the chief exporting na- tions, including Canada, and -fixed tentative four'-nronlbh average world price at w"Eich the chief importing nations will undertake to reduce -their customs duties. This world price level to be attain- ed before the '-importing countries are asked to revise tariffs is roughly 9054 cents a bushel in Canadian funds, more than 20 cents above the prevail- ing price. Prime Minister ,R. B. 'Ben- nett of Canada observed it is a higher figure than ,some of the exporting countries like. IIn addition to' setting maximum for exports 'tram' the big overseas pro- ducers, the Danubian basin exporters and Soviet Russia, and fixing the world price level to measure customs reductions, the agreement calls for guarantees against increased domestic production in the importing countries. They also undertake to maintain the quality of their breadstuffs. For the year 19313-34 the exporting countries agree that the export maxi- mu'm allotted between them should be 560,000;444 bushels. For the follow- ing crop year, the exporting countries with the exce'p'tion of the Soviet Un- ion, agree to reduce their production by 115 per cent. The .representative of Russia• stated that while the Soviet would sign the agreement, the Soviet was not enter- ing itito the agreement to limit pro- duction. It was entering into 'the ag- reement as between exporting coun- tries to limit its export to centain fig- ures, The Danubian States, chief Eur- opean exporters, made declarations fn. the same sense, SEVERE STORM 'Floods imperilled parts of the east- ern United States and at least 45 dead were counted in the path of a runaway hurricane that raged tip from the tro- pics and whistled away into the tSt. Lawrence Valley.

THE TIGERS OF THE SEA T wonder 'whe'ther all then have the same personal hatred of sharks that d found among the sailors .1,encounter- ed in Polynesia, asks a writer in The !Record of tan 'Adventurous [Life (With some it annoutts almost :to ana- .nia, The remembrance of one adventure with sharks 'quite destroyed 'the nerve of a very 'fine young Englishman named 'Boyle, who left the islands in consequence, He ,had come from the great, island of Vanla Levu in an op- en boat with two 'other white men and 'three natives. It was blowing hard and the sea was rough, outside the reef. So Boyle, who was a very good seaman, sat up steering al: night, 'while Cameron, the owner of the boat, and the•others slept,' There was a full moon, and it was one of those beautiful 'fresh nights enjoyed in the islands after the rainy season, Nothing could be more de- lightful, although as hour after hour 'passed !Boyle 'became weary and sleepy. 'At• last, after twelve 'hours of continuous watchfulness and care, the boat was in smooth waiter, inside the •Ovalatt 'Reef, ;where, protected by the mountains, it felt comparatively little wind, 1B•oyle, therefore, gave up the tiller to Cameron, saying as his last words, "'Gusts 'will came down the gullies; whatever you do, don't fasten the sheet," and fell fast asleep: IHe woke suddenly to find the boat careened 'over, !Guessing what had oc- curred, he whipped out his 'jackknife) and cut the siheet that Cameron had foolishly cleated. It was'too late,.The boat sank, and all began to swift 'for their lives. The three natives soon forged ahead, and Boyd, who was an excellent swimmer for a white man, was in advance of his careless con- pan'ious. As the swam on he heard a shriek 'behind him. One of them had been taken down by a shark. On he went, striking out, if ,possible, more vigorously 'than before. Then he 'heard a second shriek of pain and horror from behind, and knew that the other of his friends had gone to the voracious creatures. He was now swimming alone, for the natives were a Tang. way off by this time, and every ripple he heard in the water, every swish of the wind that went by, he thought the rush of a shark's !fin through the waves, or the sound of the creature turning over to grip him, 'A whole mile of this al- most un'bearslble anxiety did he und- ergo until !finally, worn out with ex- ertion and mental strain, he had just strength enough to drag himself to the shallow water, whence the natives quickly pulled hint out. His 'nerves were so shattered that he could not endure sailing again in an open boat and he speedily left for New Zealand, IA still more exciting shark incident that occurred about the sante time af- fords remarkable proof of the loyalty and .discipline of the natives toward their chiefs, 'Tui 1Levuka, the chief of the island of'Ovalau, was out in a :big double canoe with a crew of forty- five .men when a sudden storm came on and capsized them in waters that were known to 'be infests with sharks. Immediately the natives shade a circle round their chief, joining hands :and keeping themselves afloat with their legs while he swam inside the ring so 'formed quite comfortably. A shriek and a groan, and clown went one dative, The two next to hint joined their hands again over the em- pty place. Another was taken in the same way and again the circle was completed as if none were missing. A third disappeared, and once ,more silently, and 'as it were automatically, the narrowing circle was reconstitut- ed with 'Teti Lemke still safe in the midst. "Another for Hector" was nev- er replied and acted upon under more gruesome' circumstances. The surviv- ors could hear the swirl of the :water as successive comrades disappeared and could see the blood of •the victims swashing up round the circle as the sharks devoured then. !Finally, ,after the slaughter had been going on far a long time, native .canoes cams up and took 'Tui ILevuka and his much reduced band of follow- ers an board. Only twenty-seven out of the original number of forty-five remained. The whole occurrence .made no particular impression on the 'Fiji- ans, nor were the survivors thought to have done anything unusual. • A FO'LDING BOARD IAt psaotical inexpensive ironing board can be made from a board 32 inches long, '115 inches wide and one and ane-iquanter inches thick, Taper it 'toward one end .attt round it off.

FEEDING FOR 'PROFFITiABL'E MILK P'RODUICTION QExperimeu'fai 'Farms Nate) IProlfitaible milk production requires careful 'plannin'g of the feeding pro- gram for the entire year. Et is essen- tial that tcoiwsahave an abundance of palatable nutritious ;feeds in order to ,produce nnillc in Targe 'quantities and this feed ,must be obtained 'at minim- nm' cost in ander to make .a 'profit on. prevailing low ,prices of dairy prod- ucts. culls is produced during the sum- mer more cheaply than at any other season, so provision should be• made to have an abundance of pasture dur- ing the entire summer. In most cases the permanent grass ;and clover pas- ture is satisfactory for early summer. The yield and quality of permanent pastures can be greatly improved by top dressing with fertilizers, Informa tion' regarding pasture fertilization may be obtained by writing to ,the Superintendent, ,Experimental Station, Fredericton, 'IN,IB, During the last summer and early fall, provision should be made for grazing the aftermath on 'fields of clover and timothy which have been cut early for hay. !'Where this is im- practicable, annual crops such as a mixture of oats and (peas can be graz- ed or 'the pasture can he supplement- ed with a feed.of hay each day in the barn. At the 'Fredericton 'Experimental• Station, the ,milch 'ca'ttle obtain the hulk o'f their summer feed on pasture, 'When the 'permanent pastures begin to dry up, the cows graze on the af- termath from :hay :fields. Grain is fed in limited quantities to maintain the milk flaw at a reasonable level throughout the year. .When ,pastures are luxuriant, the milk flow will be good 'without feeding grain but when'' production begins to 'go down, it is wise to feed about .1 pound of meal to every 6 pounds of milk produced. 'This helps to maintain production and the rows enter winter quarters in much 'better condition to continue profitable production during the winter. THE GARDEN. ;Large groupings cif one species or color are not advisable for the ` small garen. Such masses tend to reduce the apparent size of the border, while the predomination of one color will lessen the effect of smaller quantities of other colors. `Straight rows ani squares Of plants are also to 'be a- voided. Ilii each species is planted in a drift, eheckerlboard effects are ab- sent and the mass effect is improved. For the small garden six 'large speci- mens of a species to aborder should be sufficient to give effect. An un - ,sightly bare spot will result when a large group of one species is out of 'bloom. The different kinds should he grouped according to season, so that the flowers or good 'foliage of one will screen 'the fading of another. (Plants with dependable 'foliage, such as heuchera, astil'be, and funlcia, may occupy the front positions in the border, Such plants as the .Oriental poppy and the old-time bleeding- heart, both of :which die away soon after flowering, should be placed so that their ripening ,foliage will be con- cealed. Color is just as important in the small garden as in the large, and more difficult to handle. Since the garden- er will want a variety of plants, they must 5e- carefully arranged so that clashing colors will be separated. Plants with white, cream -colored, buff yellow, blue, and lavender flow- ers, and those with gray foliage, will act as pacifiers in the garden. Two- color and other very simple color schemes should be avoided. 'Where there are several gardens, it might be interesting 'to devote certain gar- dens to certain calors: But in 'the one and only small ;garden such simplicity of color usually results in monotony, sant limits 'one's choice of plants. iA .scheme of blues, lavender, pink, rose, pale ye4lolw, violet, and •white, with perhaps a :clash of orange 'for ihiglh-light, is interesting and allows the use of a great many species, The •colors might ibe ,arranged in the fol- lowing sequence: white, :blue, orange, cream, lavender, pale yellow,, more :cream -color, pink, more blue, rose, and white. IA tri -colored edging com- posed of white allyssum, buff annual phlox, and blue vis'caria, would be ef- feetive. llif 'thtis array of color seems too gay, an edging o•f nepeta mussini might be used for the sobering effect of its gray !foliage.
