This member of the rodent fancily is so rare in these parts, that it is a good many years since one has been reported, and only a few citizens, it appears, recall having ever seen one in the locality. This squirrel was dis- turbed by telephone men, while work- ing in the St. Helens district. At the time, it was thought to be hiding ar- ound their truck, but could not be lo- cated. On returning to the village, the truck -driver stopped at Smith's garage, and the squirrel was discov- ered under the truck. The next mo- ment it was mounting the hydro pole nearby and paused midway up at the street light bracket. Donning his spurs, one of the linesmen ascended the pole,: The squirrel scampered , to the very peak of it and spreading out his parachute folds of skin, soared gracefluly across the main street to the tall eitn tree on the other side.

Planning the Horne Garden When the area devoted to the gar- den is limited, careful attention must be given to such points as distance between rows and between plants, so that all space may be used to advant- age. Each plant must have room to mature, yet gaps must be avoided. A study of rotation of crops and time of maturity is of great value in plan- ning the small garden. Such crops as radish and spinach may be grown as inter -crops between the rows of later maturing crops like carrots or par- snips. Late sown crops inay be plant- ed between the rows of early matur- ing crops just before the latter arc ready to harvest. Two or three crops of such plants as radish and lettuce may be grown on the same area. A succession of quick growing crops by planting at intervals is also desirable. Where lands is cheap or where the garden may be laid out in any shape desired, ease of enitivalioe sltt:uld be considered. All the rows may be plac- ed the same distance apart, just wide PAGE THR: CARE, is TOO C Kit TL PASSING on a hill is just one form of haste .. , that craving to drive too fast ... which is altogether too prevalent in .Ontario.
