POINTS ON PEELING
While no one has yet found a me-
thod of eliminating the peeling of
fruits and vegetables, still there are
ways of cutting d.owtn on the time in-
volved. 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-

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"

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

stents,: namely, :Allegro con brio, An-
dante, :'Paco alle'greto and. Allegro -

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-

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. •

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.
