'J. he Cavaliers discovered that the heath hen was excellent for roasting on .a spit before the huge fireplaces.

Thomas Morton wrote in 1637 that the bird is much "like our plteysant hunne of: England of excellent flesh and delicate neat." Tlie heath hen, however, was the pot Invitee's prey. It flew in a straight line and rather slowly on 'flushing and It had an unfortunate habit of congre- gating In large flocks in .open spaces. It was extinct an the mainland as early as the Civil war, but still flour- ished on islands. 1.3ird loners called attention from time to time to the fact it was dwindling, and in 1025 there was a heath hen conference in New England in an elloctt to save the pip tinted fowl.

American colleges had their foot - hall during that period. 'The frrst in- tercoltegiate game was played be- te eon Princeton and Rutgers on Nov- ember 6, 1800, the latter having 26 men on the field to the former's 21.

Vitamin C is destroyed in all canned Frauds with the sole exception of canned tomatoes. Oxidation (ex- posure •to air), and long rookingg will destroy Vitamin C canned tomat- oes. /When they are canned commer- cially, they are processed in the can and are net exposed to air, and they are cooked fair a short ',line at a high telly '...titzc. I:ivcstigation has shown that h • :. ;'.,nr •q tomatoes have -lost ost the V,t.unin t', while commercially canned toniato::s have retained it. Our chief reasun for using canned i(unatoes several days a week, throu- ghout the winter, is to add Vitamin C to the diet, so for that reason I buy all the canned tomatoes we use. At that, they are the cheapest winter source of Vitamin C, Following Father's Footsteps Father is frequently to blame for food dislikes of the children. He says that he does not like a thing, so im- mediately the children think that they do not like it, either. If mother does not like it, it never gets on the table! Just at present we have a sixteen - year -old lad visiting us. He was good and hungry after swimming, the oth- er evening, and cleaned up every bit of a salad. When he finished, he re- marked, that he was surprised to find that he liked cucumbers. He said he had never before tasted them, as his father did not like them, so he thou- ght that he did not like them either. Another evening, we had a diced cu- cumber salad, and when he had fin- ished his second, or maybe his third helping of it, he asked what was in the salad. When he found out, he said that his mother would certainly be surprised to find that he liked cecum- hers, A good many food dislikes are bas- ed on some imaginary reason. Par- ents should be very careful about ex- pressing dislikes for food as children are natural imitators. They do not seem to the so quick about develop- ing the good qualities, but they cer- tainly pick up the bad ones in a hur- ry, Green Tomatoes Pickles There is usually a surplus of green tomatoes, as frost is very apt to come before the tomatoes have a chance to ripen. Sonee of the green tomatoes will ripen in the house, if the vines are uprooted and hung in a dry place. Another method of ripening them is to take off the vines and wrap each tomato in paper. They are better than nothing ripened this way, but n, method compares with Nature's rc . own method of ripening in the sun. Here are some recipes for using the green tomato. Fried Tomatoes Cut tomatoes in thick slices, dredge with flour and fry in the frying pan ;in /rut fat. Season with salt and pep- per. "These are especially good with steal;, chops or bacon.

It is sad, but \ve say no, automatically, without ev- er stopping to think, Many of the things the children ask to do, they could do just as well as not, only, we say no, on general principles, and then have to stick to it. You may think that you are not runty, but try it to -day and every time the children ask to do sonietiting, just hesitate be- fore you answer, and if you are going to say no, think and see if there is any real harm in it and if possible change your answer to yes. Think first before you answer and then do not change your mind. If your child- ren' try your patience by everlasting- ly coaxing to do soi'nething, it is your own fault nottheiits, so lose patience with yourself, not thein.'

HOME PLOWING COMPETITION The Huron County Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture is this fall conducting a Houle Plowing Coinpetition among the junior farm- ers of the County. We have thought for some time that the boys in the County have not been taking suffic- ient interest in good plowing and this is apparent when we consider the very small number of boys who take part in the annual Comity Plowing Competitions. In order to interest our young farmets we have arranged for a competition in which the plow- ing is done on the home farm on which the contestant niay be Avarice ing. The following are the more impor- tant regulations governing this com- petition: 1. This competition shall be open to all young men in Huron County 26 years of age and under, 2. The following classes are sug- gested:— Class 1—Sod, Single plow with shimmer, at least three acres in a block. Class 2—Stubble, or any land oth- er than sod, single plow with shim- mer, at least three acres in a block. 3. Contestant may enter in either of the above classes but not in both., 4. There must be at least twee strikes and two finishes in each class_ Average depth of furrow to b;: six inches, Headlands left unplowed. 5, Contestants must have plowing ready for inspection by November 5th, 1931,';, 6. . S ub.t rrti•1 . a ,z cash prizes I will be awarded in each class. Entries must be in by October 1st, 1931, and contestants should apply to the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, Clinton, for entry forret and full list of rules and regulations eevt:rn- ing the competition.
