L. Budge. "RECESS AND AFTER FOUR" We hear the teacher rattle The ruler on the wall; Our slates are pileil``together And soon in line we fall. Jam Rath loads up his pop grin— An alder -berry limb; He hits Priscilla Sowler And that's six slaps for him. John Joe said, "You're another," Which George Vancamp denied; The water -pail tipped over— We hope by now they're dried. In Parrott's beaver -meadow, The butter -nuts were 'fine— 'sen minutes late! Oh dreadful! We were a sorry line. Jim Armour danced a fine jig; Ed Coultes, the jew's harp; ,The dust and broken plaster Made all the stove pipes warp. And there was Tom McBurney, Nephew of Andrew Black, 'The latter's sweet, large turnips He slipped into his sack. Matt. Harrison! Oh listen! A witty wag was Matt. There wasn't a bit of mischief, But he was blamed for that. Pete Wilson coaxed the trustees—. A magic lantern show; And also a ventriloquist— Such fun we rarely know. Joe Stonehouse was the hunter— Like deer we fled afar; Found Henry Edwards' sap troughs And kettles on the bar. "Some raft" said Charlie Wightman, One day to Aggie Bell, They just had reached the deep hole, When in they went, pell mell. 'Twas Lizzie Scott who won it— The prize for being good. The teacher praised and lectured, While like a saint she stood. Gow Dunbar was the headman, To crack the whip -and look! The tail swung off the island And ducked in Geordie Cook. Jim Walsh and Maggie Morton— Both had to sweep the floor. They said "We'd rather gossip"— Were kept in after four. Jack Fothergill was gallant; Joe Bennett, truly brave— Both crawled under the dark floor, "Feem" Turner's pen to save. John Fells had nice red apples And Fanny Black had none. Jim Nicol caught them eating, Both at the core of one. A score of many memories, Are these out of a host. Now to the Jolly Old Boys, Let's honour with a toast! Precooling Fruit. The recent transportation of early strawberries over long distances has called attention to the benefits of the precooling system. Precooling as the tern: is commonly used, denotes the removal of field heat from fruit after harvesting and before it is shipped to market. Unfortunately, with straw- berries as with other fruit, there is still the practice of picking and ship- ping fruit that is not fully matured, because deterioration is not as ap- parent as in mature fruit. Fruit is mature when it has reached the stage when the normal process of ripening will continue after the fruit is picked and enable it to develop full flavor. It is to enable the producer and ship- per to co-operate in placing mature, well -colored, full -flavored fruit with- in reach of the consumer, that Pre - cooling of fruit by fanning is recom- mended.
