And it is to help in spread- ing a cheery outlook respecting agri- culture that the birthday party is be- ing held. A birthday greeting, neatly en- grossed with the child's name, will be sent if parents or guardians will write to the Royal Winter Fair of- fices, Toronto, giving clearly the child's fall name and address, with rier which has kept them at home for tilde exact date of birth and year. In some time past. A buyer recently ar- addition eligible children who are able rived looking for dairy cattle, prere - rented a letter of credit for $1500 and was given a deposit account of $1650. Thus the present prospect Is that a considerable demand for Canadian live stock will develop.

This 'fact has caused the Provincial Ento- mologist .to send out a warning mes- sage to all Ontario corn growers, urging upon them the necessity of cleaning up their corn fields more thoroughly than ever. Some growers have the idea that the borer has been beaten. They are wrong, The borer will never be beaten. The best that the farmers can do is to keep the bor- er so closely under control that the damage from this pest will be as small as possible. If there is the slightest let-up in the precautions ta- ken oken by the growers to clean up their fields, the borer will take advantage of it and multiply at an alarming rate. to attend the Winter Fair will be given a complimentary ticket in their own name entitling them to free ad- mission to every department of the Fair. for market should be placed in small penned enclosures, provided with plenty of water and grit and kept clean. They should be fed heavily on whole corn, • the best medium for the fattening of geese, and about two weeks' hea';y feeding should fit them for market. Twenty-four hours be- fore killing geese should be starved, !but given plenty of water.

Bauer, secretary of the Growers' Markets Council, points out that they have disposed of the crop to the public this year without any great' dependence on the winer- ies for an outlet. Growers who held back the cutting of their grapes were rewarded by a higher price, Mr. Bauer does not eblieve that there has been everplanting if the growers will continue to develop the fresh fruit market', in fact he predicts that there may not be a large enough crop to meet the demand for Ontario -grown grapes next year. The speeial efforts and advertising campaign to self this fresh fruit east and west this year, undoubtedly brought good results. Boys' and Girls' Contests The year 1931 marks a new era, in Boys' and Girls' Club work in On- tario. Early in the year new policies were issued in connection with the following club objects: Calf, swine, poultry, garden, grain, potato and canning. As a result there were 220 boys' and girls' clubs with a total membership of 5068, carrying on ac- tive programs during the year. On October 19th teams representing the swine and cattle clubs held their pro- vincial competitions. Six swine and twelve cattle clubs took part in the contests and in each case a team was composed of two club members ,be- tween the ages of 16 and 20 years. The winning team in. the swine de- partment was from Lennox and Ad- dington and scored 995 out of a pos- sible 1200 points, while the runners- up from Durham. scored 908. The competition consisted of judging of four classes of swine and manage- ment and marketing of 'swine. The Peel County Holstein Club was high team in the• cattle competition, scor- ing 1601 out of a possible 1200 points. The Cattle. Club teams ,judged four classes of cattle and answered ques- tions on management and care of cat- tle. The winning teams from Len- nox and Addington and Peel will re- present Ontario in the national con- tests at the Royal Winter Fair.

Insome pares of Europe the ciiseover t is oriel- ited to the inmates of a monareere in Arabia who had discovered that their goata after browsing upon the eoffee berries were decidedly lively, Prompted by curiosity they decided to taste the berries to tinct out if they would be affected in the same war.. They tried chewing the berries am: boiling theberries, but the result wile not satisfactory, They then roasted the berries and found out that it navy, them a delightful flavor. Pilgrims to whom the monks gave shelter and food were pleased with the new bev- erage and spread its tame. The French have preserved the following picturesque version of the legend: A young goatherd, Kaldi, noticed one day that his goats, whose deportment, up to that time. had been irreproach- able, were abandoning themselves to the most extravagant prancings. Kabir attributed this gayety to certain fruit or berries. Be picked and ate• the berries and became the happiest herder in Arabia. Scientists Delve Into Secrets of Upper Air • Until recently we knew very little about the higher parts of the atmos- pnere which surrounds the earth. The growing importance' of hying and the development of the science of weather forecasting have made It nec- essary for us to know something more about the upper air. Kites carrying delicate measuring instruments were tried first, but these soon gave way -o halloos filled with hydrogen. With balloons, heights ofi from 15 to 20 miles !lave been reached, and a great deal of valuable inforninplon has been col-. torted. Tiny instruments are attached to the balloon, aiad when It bursts these are brought to earth by a. para- chute. The fact that shooting stars are seen at heights up to almost a hundred miles showed that the atmosphere must extend . to this distance. Shoot- ing stars are tiny pieces of stone or metal from space, made white hot by he friction of air.

A glance at the lines printed. herewith showed how thoughtfully Dr, How put into words the thoughts that come into most minds as we pass through these rapidly alternating days of sunshine, rain, gloom and chill. In 1879 Dr. How, now well known as a powerful preacher and a success- ful worker amongst men was trans- ferred to East London and appointed` a suffragan (or assistant) bishop -to the Bishop of London with the title Bishop of Bedford. For several years hei did splendid work there, be- fore his appointment as Bishop of Wakefield, He died in 1897 at the age of seventy-four, having been born, the son of a lawyer, at Shrews- bury, in 1823. But so exacting is the work of a bishop in modern times, that after his consecration he wrote no hymns, although he had undoubted talents in that direction. As it is we have near- ly sixty hymns from his pen most of which find place in one or other of I ourlanguage. nth cf hm� the ) The tune St, Alphege was written by H. J. Gauntlet, Mus.

In 1871 the Society for Promoting Christian knowledge rc published a col- lection of hymnsunder the title "Church Hymns," which had a wide circulation in England for a time, but which was unable to make a perma- nent stand against the many editions of the popular "Hymns Ancient and Modern." Not that Church Hymns was with- out a strong appeal to lovers Of good tunes and tci those who loved to min- gle the old favorite words with flew hymns by modern writers. The S.P. C.K. appealed to all the well known hymnologists for assistance and as it happened that was • a ,period when many of ottr most valued hymn writ- ers were still at work. Among otlicrs who at once came to the help of the grand old Society was the Right Reverend William Walsh- aln How, then Bishop of Wakefield in Yorkshire who had achieved a fine reputation es a writer of practical, useful hymns. In 1864 there had appeared a little volume of hymns entitled "}Iyrnn for Saint Day and Other Hymns" cont - piled by a layman, the Layman soon being revealed as the Rt. Holt, 1rarl.
