It prevents the industry expanding to its normal limits. labor4, are auctioned. off to the highest b.. der,. still exists in Fraaee. Unlike the slave markets of old,.. French farm laborers willingly take part in the annual auetions. There is nothing inhuman or forced in their sale of their own bodies for a stated period of toil, for they get the sale money minus a fee for the auctioneer. As witnessed at the annual "Foire aux Valets," or 'Workman's Fair, at Chateauroux, the farm hands con- sider it a banner day of the year be- cause it brings new employers, new surprises—and often more money. On the day of the fair each autumn the laborers come in from the farms to the central town in seach of new employers for the coming year. Ex- cept in the minority of eases where the workers are satisfied with their former employers, nearly all seek new places each year, Many of them are engaged before the actual auction starts. Others pre- fer to wait until they are placed upon the auction blc;ek and the farm.own- ers bid for their services for a period which is usually set at eight months. If the worker is young and physic- ally well built he mounts the plat- form with pride. He flexes his mus- cles in a manner intended to impress the watching prospective employers of his high value as a farm hand. The laborers especially try to make an impression upon the farm owners whom they know to be good masters. They know and curry the favor of the farm owner who does not work his men too hard and who furnishes them with comfortable quarters and good food. The show of prowess is highly amusing to sightseers who gather in the square to watch the proceedings. The laborers are dressed in their best. The old men, who feel the years slipping away and wish to hide the tact from would-be employers, dye their hair and straighten up their shoulders to appear young and more powerful. If they succeed in impress- ing, they are sure to obtain a couple of hundred francs more for their ser- vices than they would otherwise. In 1929 the auctions showed that the average hire price for a period of eight months has advanced from 200 to 800 francs over the previous year. Women as well as men are sold, al- though feminine labor brings only about half the price of male. The modern trend to specialization A first-class laborer, sold on the on the farm is clearly exemplified in auction block for eight months' toil, one county in Ontario, where in ad - is worth about $120 or $125, while second-class workers, those who are slightly weak, old, or notoriously lazy, bring about $100 for the period. Master shepherds are worth about Courses in Horticulture The Ontario Agricultural College announces the following short cours- es under the auspices of the Depart- ment of Horticulture for the month of February: Fruit Growing, Feb, 3rd/fo 8th; Vegetable Gardening, Feb. 10th to 1,5th; Ornamental Horticulture, Feb. 17th to 28th. These courses will fea- ture a wide variety, of subjects and the discussions will be led by O.A.C. professors as well as other promin- ent horticultural specialists from var- ious parts of Ontario. O.A.C. Short Courses The increasing interest on the part of junior farmers in agricultural ed- ucation is evidenced by an enrolment of 166 in the short courses at 0. A. C, a decided increase over former years. The three months' course in dairying alone has 53 students, includ- ing two from Denmark; one from England and the balance from the Maritimes and Ontario. Prof, H. H. Dean states that the object of this course is to improve the uniformity and. standard of dairy products in On- tario. It covers. practical work in cheese and butter making and train- ing in dairy bacteriology and chem- istry. Enrolment in the poultry, live stock, agriculture and drainage cours- es is also large. The total number of young men in all classes at 0 .A. C. is now close to five hundred.

What has tripe done, either now or in the past, to make it the most con- temptuous, unsympathetic term in American rhetoric? asks a writer in Harper's Magt.zine. What, in short, is it that causes so many words, un- < related in themselves, to leap out and take hold as withering epithets of scorn and abuse or as glittering sym- bols of affection and respect? Why "spinach," "prune," "lemon," and "applesauce," and why, on the other hand, "corker" and "brick?" Why "He's the berries" as a term of esteem and "Give him the raspberry" as a term of contempt? Why, for that matter both "good" and "bad" .egg.? The most cursory study of the na- ture of slang must very shortly re- veal two basic facts—first, that the apparent origin of a slang term is very seldom its real one and, second, that the pith of a slang word arises not, as a rule, from anything in its own nature but from some aspect • that it holds for a certain group of . persons at a certain time. ized. lines.
