That Reveetie (aeon o Golf The only facts' definitely. established •s'entierning the game of golf are teat the game, la some primitive forna tees played in Holland at ;an early date UI(teat it was developed In Scotland before the middle of the Fifteenth Century into a popular game. An net of the Scoefiell parliement in 1457 was direeted against the playing of this sport, as Interfering with the impel, tent practice of arebeey. • Old Dutch paintings show that the Duteli nsed poste instead of boles in playing their "lKolf" or "Kolfje." This name is de- rived from a word signifying "smelt club." Jaynes IV of Scotland played the game about the year 1500 and made it a royal as well as ancient' game. There are other claims about the origin of golf that are not so well substantiated. One is that It was played by the Chinese as early as 1100 B. C.; another is that it was played in Ireland in -the time of St. Patrick, Another clahris that •the Roman game of "pagania," played with a crooked stick and a leather ball stuffedwith feathers, resembled golf. A game called bandy -ball or cainbuca, played in England since Edward III's reign, has also been mentioned in this con. nection, though it appears to be .more like hockey.' A legendary • origin of the game is that a il;cottish shepherd, tending sheep on a stony hillside, found amusement in • striking the stones •with his shepherd's crook, Deadly Tarantula Easy Prey of "Killer" Wasp Some insects are very ferocious. The tarimtulas, as Rene Bache points out, spin no webs, but rely upon their strength and agility for the capture at their victims, the latter including an occasional mouse or ground-nesttng bird; and their homes are burrows, usually in the side of a clay bank, lined with silk. The door of be taran- tula's house is set on a strong silken spring, and shuts with a snap when the owner has entered or comes nut: At home the tarantula is perfectly safe; the entrance of the burrow be - Jag so camouflaged as to escape even 'scrutinizing observation, but on its wants abroad, the giant spicier is al- ways in danger of attack hy the Kiire,r, - which is a species of wasp. Against this wasp it has no atierytmte 1110:111S of defense. Constantly turning this way and that, to face the enemy. it is inevitably taken, sooner or later, and stabbed with the Killer's en, venomed lance, and paralyzed. 'rho duel invariably ends with the death or total disablement, of the tiiIrtifl. thin, in whose body the Killer lays its eggs, in order that the Imes weeps, when they are hatched, shall have food to eat. Town of the Ugly Dodging Lovers of the tales of Hans Chris tian Andersen will probably agree that his story of the "Ugly Duckling" is one of his finest. What mnre natural therefore, when in Denmark, ager you have visited his home at Odense to journey to Kjoge, and when, Myra seek out the old and interesting caste, of Gi.sselfeld, where the story itette often stayed. Here the Ugly Duekrna first saw the light and not far away Is the castle of I3ergentved, where the swan was halted by the children. Al though, Kjoge is best known tod.l. for its bacon and sausage,lthe visitoz will find it a splendid nIil town wiii, a church of the Thirteenth eentine, named for Santa Ohms and erciy where old castle homesteads beside tee sea which will maee;it a scenic mem ory for years.

Get Rid of the Barnyard Boarders In preparing for housing the stock for winter, all surplus work horses, finished beef cattle, boarder dairy. cows or decidedly poor type heifers, old ewes and old sows should be cull- ed out and disposed of to the best advantage. Overhaul the Farm Plant Now is the time for farmers to pa.y attention to their buildings. Slacken all bands on stave silos; repair arty leaks in the rOofs, cheels up on storm sashes; fit them, and repair broken glass; clean out all trap gullies; tholeoughisr flush drains, clean out root cellar verttilators, fresh air intakes and. foul air outlets in barns, stables, piggeries and poultry houses; thor- oughly inspect and overhaul the wat- ee supply, if a pump service check up on the value, in a pressure supply see that all pipes and tanks are protected from frost. • Turkeys in Winter Breeding turkeys should not be confined to houses during the winter months but allowed to roam at will during the day. The only shelter that is •required for them at night is a straw barn or closed -in shed. •They should trot be kept in a draughty place, but any building that will pro- vide shelter from wind, rain and snow is quite eulta.ble. Never house turkeys with liens or in heated houses, be- cause colds which later develop into roup, are almost sure to follow. Dur- ing the winter months the breeding turkeys should re r zieee only limited ra- tions, as .they have a tendency to be- come over fat if well fed. Hard grain should be given in preference to mash or ground grains. Equal parts of oats, wheat, and buckwheat are quite suitable &leen the cold months, but when the weather moderates in sPrutg, the buckwheat should be dis- continued. Once daily during whiter is often etiough to • feed, and fresh water should be provided at least on - Well -Finished Beef Cattle «7i11 Never Stagnate Market "Market stagnation, in ity estima- tion," said Garnet 5.

It would seem that far- mers, having feed to do so, should feed tip all good stockers," Weekly Crop Report Thoesancls of barrels of apples were damaged by a severe frost, stat- es a report from Peel County, and, as a result the cider presses are running to capacity. Most farmers in North Simcoe will be rather short of roots this winter as the crop would aver- ages less than 50% normal. Shortage of pasture in many districts will re- sult in cattle going into winter quar- ters in poor condition. Sugar beet harvest in Kent County is about com- pleted and has been delivered to the factory in splendid condition. Lin- cole reports that condition of fall wheat has seldom been better than at present. In Froritenac the farmers have a big surplus of livestock' and a large number will have to be sold owing to the shortage of feed. In Temiskaming this has been the finest fall the farmers have had for several years for completing the season's work. Harvesting and threshing were over in good time and farmers have had ample time to get their fall plow- ing done. • Hints for the Poultryman In order to have pullets, laying at their best in November and Decem- ber, the months of high priced eggs, the following points should be observ- ed according to the Dominion Poul- try Husbandmen: See that the pullets have dry and bright quarters. - Have,the houses clean and sanitary without draughts. Give a well-balanced ration and be sure to give enough. Don't forget the green feed, pre- ferably clover or alfalfa. If you have rriilk give the pullets what they will take.

Bricoldoc ar- rived at Goderich on Saturday with 230,000 bushels of wheat and barley __— from Fort William. She was covered with ice from stem to stern, caused by the breaking of seas over the decks. Coming through the storm the windows had to be broken to give clearer vision. After arrival men were engaged to chop the ice front the hatches and eight hours elapsed be- foreeunloading could be commenced. Captain H. B. Hunt reported encoun- tering ice four inches thick on the - way down. The Bricoldoc cleared for the head of the lakes Sunday. There - was no difficulty experienced in en- tering the harbor.
