This means that all corn must .either be cut level with the ground and all remnants gathered and burned; or, if cut higher, the stubble must be ploughed under completely either this fall or next spring, and that any stubble or pieces of stalks dragged up again must be gathered and burned: If you are putting in winter wheat, remember that the field must first be cleaned from all corn remnants as outlined above. SUGGESTIONS FOR. LESSENING THE AMOUNT OF HAND-PICKING AND BURNING - 1. Cut the corn low. Low cutting attachments for binders are now available, costing about $20.00, On small plots, cut 'corn with a hoe not a sickle. 2. If the stubble is more than two inches high, crush 'it (thoroughly before ploughing by running a heavy roller or planker over it twice, lengthwise the rows; or disc it twice; or lift it out with a plough and level it with the harrow. Crushing the stubble kills many borers. 3. Use a wide -furrow plough, never a narrow. Tractosi ploughs should have a roller coulter and skimmer; walking ploughs a skimmer and a fin or high share or a knife coulter. Sometimes a chaitf or long wird is also necessary. 4. Never plough crosswise, but always lengthwise, of the rows. 6. Plough 6 inches deep, if possible, and run the last furrow before the stubble row as close to it as possible,•so that on the next round the stubble will all fall flat into the furrow and be ,buried completely. 6. Never plough when the ground is too dry to do,a good job. 7. Spring ploughing usually ,results in less picking, but fall ploughing, especially after crushing the stubble, saves time for other spring work. 8. When cultivating• in spring`,• use a disc, and in sowing a disc drill. Toothed imple- ments drag up the stubble. 9. Rolling in springbefore cultivating often helps to lessen the amount of stubble dragged up. PLOUGHING KILLS THE BORERS ONLY IF THE SURFACE IS CLEAN They nearly all come tip to the surface after being ploughed and, if there are no pieces of corn or stubble to hide in, they perish from exporsure or are destroyed by birds, ants, beetles or other enemies. SWEET CORN USUALLY SUFFERS MOST FROM BORERS; ' HENCE DO NOT OVERLOOK EVEN SMALL GARDEN PLOTS The best way to deal with them is' to leave them until spring and then pall the stalks up by the roots and all coarse weeds, and burn them; then plough or spade the -round. erson, whether'he receives this notice or not,;is required tom - ply Every pq uired to co ply with the Act. The he inspector has been instructed to enforce the Act without fear or favor. Nothing but thorough work will control the borer. Issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. OSWALD GINN, Inspector, Goderich, Ontario • WINGi•IAM 01,DV'A.NCE-1I ES ready received an evil initiation into life makes it seem that this mystery is connected with things he has been taught to regard as "naughtiness." Nowadays these mysteries can be taught in a scientific and non -irritat- ing manner by reference to the low- er animals—birds, fish, etc.—the so- called biological method of approach, The child becomes interestecl but not shocked. Gradually truth dawn lion him in a clean wholesome way, And all the Hind his curiosity is be- ing appeased . In satisfying their curiosity childrei••t ask hundreds of questions, Often they are anngytng, Often they, ask tlestions Wjich are ...irrichlt If not impossible, r t, answer. But dont' sidetrack tete child's cur- iosity. p:, i 'ii ,:.r•:v Try to ,ati&W6i till questions truth- fully and iii$dlligently. If you don't know, it is better to admit you don't know than to bluff it out. Children q• uickly catch on to trick- ery and when they do, their respect' for you is shaken or lost and you cease to influence then even when you utter golden words of wisdom. Not only keep your child's curiosity uttisIT ' , but keep it going. Develop it 'ane keep alive your own' Curiosity as well. Tie curious, for Instance, just how your' Noys's or girl's mind is develop- ing, )'if the emotional side is being fulfilled, lioW many curious problems are remaining, tmanswered. Be curious also as to the nature of the child's questions and what promp- ted them. In short, be as curious as the child is. SIMPLE EXERCISES 10 BEAUT- FY THE ANKLES (By Josephine Huddlestone) I do wish that every girls and wo- man would spend just half as much time beautifying the area from the knees , down, that she does painting her lips and blending powders. Undoubtedly this is due to the fact that powders, rouges, and creams make the beautifying of the face so easy, while the development of beau- ty for the legs requires several mon- ths of diligent work. There is one simple exercise that accomplishes two purposes, that of developing and rounding out the calf of the leg, and reducing the ankles at the same time. Surely, this two fold benefit will interest all of you. It consists of rising up on the toes, balancing there a moment, then" low- ering the heels to the floor again. Repeated ten or twenty times, morn- ing and night, it will do wonders for the contour of the legs within a few months. • Then you can walk up and down stairs on the balls of the feet. This also develops the calves of the leg and slenderizes the ankles. The ac- tion is practically the same in both exercises, the second suggestion being just a variation. Another thing of importance to the beauty of the legs and ankles is the new heel line in stockings. If you have rather large ankles, and legs that are unshapely when seen from the back, they can be made to appear smaller by wearing the high, sharply pointed heel line. A thin leg can be made to appear more rounded in the back by the square top -heel line, while the very scrawny leg can be consider- ably plumped out in effect by the wearing of the two 'point heel, ON SUNDAY EVENING There is no time more pleasant for entertaining than Sunday evening, no meal with which the hostess can slave more telling success than with the in- formal supper. There is no limit to the ingenuity which may be shown in evolving pleasant combinations of food, drink and decoration. One of the greatest blessings of the Sunday repast is the fact that it can be served easily and without strain on hostess or guest without the aid of a maid servant. Service without help should not be attempted for more than eight persons, although that number can be managed quite easily, By planning a meal that does not call for elaborate preparation and by doing all that one can the day before, it is a comparatively simple matter to have the table set, the food prepared and oneself freshly dressed, when the guests arrive. Simple Meal Best For a few guests it is pleasanter' and, in better taste to serve supper at.. the table. A meal of a few appetiz- ing and perfectly prepared dishes is much nicer than an elaborate layout of food in which the diners lose in- terest after the keen edge of their appetites has been dulled. A. housewife, who has but one com- plete set of colored. glassware may vary the monotony of her table by rising complimentary shades of napery and flowers.

Dere and There -1 (137) Grain handlings in the Port of Montreal this season passed the 200,000,000 bushel mark on August 30th, receipts and shipments being evenly balanced. Total handlings at that date were 16,353,592 bushels ahead of the similar period of last year. A twenty-six pound eight -ounce muskey, 47 inches long and 173/4 inchas in girtL, has been caught after an exciting battle near Pine Rapids on the French River, by Edmund Sisk..Ll...rt, of Chica.gn The giant has been entered in the Can- adian Pacific' Bungalow Camp Tro- phy Competition. The University of British Colum- bia at Vancouver has a new flag pole second only in height to that at New Gardens in London, Eng- land—the tallest in the 'wo:ld. Bot'a are one-piece poles of Douglas fir, that at Kew being 214 feet high and that at the University 206 feet high. The Vancouver Court House has one measuring 197 feet, while the Provincial Parliament Buildings have one measuring 165 feet. The Australian Government has Just completed a deal for eighteen foundation heifers and two bulls from J. D. McGregor and Sons, the widely known. Aberdeen -Angus breeders of Brandon. The animals will be selected from Mr. McGreg- or's Glencarnock herd by the head herdmaster of the Australian Gov- ernment and shipped by the Cana- dian Pacific Railway by way of Vancouver. This shipment apart from some purebred dairy cattle to the Orient from, British Columbia, is probably the first exportation of purebred cattle from Canada over- seas. Another link has been forged in the air express services' extending from the Gulf of St. Lawrence into the heart of Canada. The Cana- dian Pacific Express have under- taken an air express service be- tween Winnipeg; ' Regina and Cal- gary in co-operation with Western Canada Airways and' in connection with air mail routes This means that express matter shipped from England may be picked up from inr coming Atlantic liners at Rimouski, speeded by air via Montreal to Ot- tawa and Toronto, placed aboard westbound trains, trans -shipped to airplanes at Winnipeg, and deliver- ed direct to the consignee at Regina or Calgary, or placed on a train again If the destination is further west, putting the shipment many days ahead of the usual service. A. six and three -quarter -pound speckled trout, a 'monster of its kind, has been caught on the l'tipi- gon River by Philip L. Peterman, of Laurium, Michigan. This catch will probably win the Nipigon River Bungalow Camp trophy for the record catch of the season, for none of the fish previously entered in this competition approach it in size. Tthe winner receives a 811 - ver replica of a fish mounted on an Oak pannel and an engraved gold lapel button. Fishing on the Wipi. gon has been better this season than it has been for ten years. the regulation of the water level to pre- vent fluctuation has resulted in fish returning to their old haunts, and snort is noW as good as it ever e N N I N N N N 111mIII■lllm►IIIII ommllirlllrllillwnifil1►1®llllllId1 nfilI iffliIIIIlw11I®IIIlIII mithiw , SEND U YOUR EGGS WellingtonProduce Co., �.'.
