This thrust, or impulse, 'given by the heart, is carried right along the blood stream in the arteries, and can be lett at various joints in the body, no- tably at the wrist,'where it is called thep ulse • • The degree of blood pressure var- ies o P s e les in different people indeed, it ware les izt the same person, from hour to •lhour, depending upon a numberof factors, ' such as activity and rest. Variations in the blood pressure,. -within certain limits, are normal; out stop fussing. We say this, because worry and fussing only make the con- clition worse, Worry itself is a corn- mon-cause orn-mon•cause of increased pre'ssut•e. •An increased blood pressure may be due to one of many causes, If the heart loses some of its power to con- tract, the pressure is affected. Other. reasons for an abnormal blood press- ure are loss of the elasticity which healthy arteries have, or kidney trou- ble, or the occurrence of .some acute ar chronic disease. It is easy to see, therefore, that there are many condi- tions which are the real, underlying cauee of alterations in the blood pees- sure.

The farmer's one and only salvation to -day is, in lowering production costs under his control, i.e., on his farm. Farming has Changed Some appreciation of the change which has ,taken place in 'farming in Canada during` the past fifty years is afforded by the observations made on a recent0 ccasion by J. F. Dr. Booth, CommiSsioner of Agriculture.Ec no mics, Ottawa. In the early days of Canadian agriculture history, . .he points oitt, the farmer was a • self-suf- ficient producer andttin a small way a manufacturer. To -day -the fanner de- pends for existence upon his ability to produce commodities for market. He is no longer a technician who p'ro- duces :his own food and: manufactures• his own shoes, clothing, etc:, but in•-; stead is a business man who is depen-• dent upon a knowledge of both tech- nical production problems and the in- tricacies of .domestic and foreign trade and commerce—he .must have some appreciation of the problems in- volved in the 'assembling; ; grading,. transportation, storage, financing and marketing of his products - Cheese Grading The value of grading to the Cana- dian dairy industry as expressed by Dr. J. A. Ruddick, Federal Dairy Commissioner, amounts to a prem- ium over 1923 of "very nearly if not quite $2,000,000 per year," _The "Old Country" trade reports that as a re - stilt of grading quality has been int - proved, trading has been made easier,, and good -will toward Canadian cheese has been substantially 'devel- oped. Seed Production The objective of the seed produc- tion of the Federal' Department of Agriculture is a suitable and continu- ous supply for Canadian ' farmers through conveniently localized pro- duction. Digby and Yarmouth coun ties in Nova Scotia have produced X,- 700 pounds of registened and 2,500 pounds of commercial turnip seed for 1930; many thousands of 'bushel of seedoats registered haven pro- duced bee pro duced in the Maritime provinces, to- gether with considerable' quantiles of registered seed wheat and barley; while Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick have districts in which seed of a particularly high quality is available for Maritime supply during the 1981 crop year. Dont Overload With an abundance of low priced' coarse grains and wheat available Chere is an apparent tendency an the part of farmers to overfeed their mar- ket hogs. This is shown by the in- crease in the average weight of hog is the ideal market weight A, A. Mac- Millan, ac- ill t Chi h Sheep and a t, Chief 'of the S p a d Swine Division of the Federal Department of Agriculture, points out, With the price of lard what it is to -day, rela- tively lower than the price of bacon, it is the bacon type which means money to the produeet; Fanners )(mid watch hog feeding closely to guard against both light weight and excess fat—he must keep away from Back to the Farm A ilei significance attaches to the old familiar slogan "Back to the Fartn" itt the way the Broad ' Sow Policy enumerated by the Hon. R. Weir, Federal Minister of Agricul- ture, at the Royal Winter Fair, is working out. In the first month in full operation over five hundred sows of the select bacon type have been saved from slaughter, bred, and sent back to farms. Saskatchewan and Alberta head in the number of or- ders placed but keen interest in evi- denced all over Canada. • Sows of suitable type are provided by the far- mers at cost, with a further saving of one-half the cost of freight from the stockyard to the buyer's; farm. , Worth More In 1929 it took 125 pounds of lamb to buy a barrel of flour in the Mari- time Provinces with Iamb' nt- eight cents per pound and flour at ten 'dots - Lars per barrel. This year -with lambs at six bents per pound "net and flour at seven dollars pci' barrel it takes 'on- ly 118'pound of laiith to buy a barrel of flour.

Alfred,. first Lord Tennyson, was the son of an English Country clergy- man, the Rev. G. C. Tennyson, Ree'. for of Somersley, Lincolnshire. It Would be a task of some magnitude to reckon up the list ` of great men of our race, who have had similar origins, Funds were found to give him a sound education and put him through his arts course at Trinity College; Cambridge.' But •he had practical ex- perience of penury as a young man, and possibly bis sturdy common-sense and practicability owed something to that fact, While still .a youth, • a wealthy re- lative offered a comfortable fortune to Alfred or his brother Charles, one condition being that his surname •was to be adopted by his' heirs. Alfred refused point-blank., His brother was after some difficulty persuaded to ac- quiesce as Charles Tennyson -Turner, Alfred was destined to make the 'fern ily. name famous by his own abilities, Undoubtedly Alfred Tennyson was the greatest British' poet, of the,: last century. Na other :poet excepting. Shakespeare has been so commonly quoted, and 'none have exerted a greater influence upon the literature ;of his own and succeeding •ages. 'He acquired much wealth by his poetry, was •justly honored by Queen Victor- ia, . became poet -laureate .of England in 1850, and consented toreceice a peerage' in 1884. Born in 1809, during P the Napoleon- ic is wars; he died in 1892,•full .of years, riches and honor, • While only a boy he and Charles in 1850, and consented 'to receive a kindly welcome, entitled "Poetics by 'Two Brothers," At collcgie he had as fellow -students, Trench, afterwards Dean of Westminster and then Arch- bishop of Dublin, one of the greatest scholars of his age; Dean Houghton 1 g also noted for his .scholarly attain- ments, and the son of • Hallam the historian, Of these three companions the greatly beloved, sweetly temper- ed Arthur Hallarn died abroad in 1833 when Tennyson was twenty-four years old. That death implanted in Tennyson's niind a sorrow, which de- veloped into perhaps' the .finest.poet- ical •tribute' ever paid to a departed friend; in the noble series of poems entitled "In Memoriam." ' For seventeen• years the poet nurs- ed his grief, before he gave out to the world this splendid ; monument to his friend's 4 , t ds zt t cmar , The introduction Y. Th rodu elicit to it "Strang Son of God, Immortal Love," contains some noble stanzas,. and these have found their way into he hymnbooks. While deeply relig- ious throtighout, and speaking the language of an advanced scientific theology, this great poem is by no' means:a hymn, though there is. in it inspiration for many hymns. Hun- dreds . of sermons have beer) made from it, or have made use of it. There never has been a poet -laur- eate who took the duties of his of- fice more seriously than Tennyson, tor has anyone sitice his day succeed- ed in investing great events with the dignity of language which has sung theist into the public as he did. "The Charge of the Light Brigade,,` the 'Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington," the "Welcome to Alex. andra," the "See -King's Daughter gat from Over the Sea," are illustrations sif this, tris guiding principles he set for- ward in an early poem "The Two Voices," in 'noblest terms, as witness he following little extract: 'Waiting to strive a happy strife,. a war with falsehood to the knife, And. not to lose the good of life-- What is regarded as one of the principal unorganized industries of Canada is the work in conneet;on With the cultivation, harvesting and sale of blueberries. - No modern methods have been yet applied, It totals hundreds of thousands of pounds 1Ft volume of production and there are about. 600,000 lbs in cold storage at the present time, 131uee berry pie is it dessert that even Ii pititrus himself would have smacked his lips ever.
