In August a party of scientists will climb 14,000 feet into the Swiss Alps in an effort to talk to Mars. a For in August Mars, which ordin- arily is about 250,000,0oo miles away, will come within 35,000,000 miles of the earth. Only once in about 120 years does, the warlike planet . come within this easy nodding distance; and the chance is golden for our hounds to strike tip a speaking acquaintance. .According to the scientist the Mar- tians are thousands of years ahead of us in experience and intelligence; and we stand a good chance of learning a lot of things from them. just how even our wise men will make their language intelligible to us, or our language intelligible to there, is a question that has not been eluci- dated. Perhaps some form of mental - radio -telepathy will facilitate the inter- change of ideas without the hamper- ing- accompaniment of words. We are betting that August will. come and go without any message from Mars reaching us. And the world will probably be just as well off if we win our bet. 1111111111111111111111111i1111121110111fM111■■/ll1■llrl111®til1111■/®11111111111 ■ ■ ■ ■1 ■I ■ ■ ■ ▪ . ■ ■ u ■ , .THE HYDRO SHOP ®, .:e Sell — cClarys Electric Ranges Moffatt ,Electric Ranges Hydro Lamps Hotpoint Appliances Right., Our Work is the Best. e que.rantee Everything We Sell. ingham Utilities rlvOltord *oek I "x11 *mimosa' imam ;ii, 41. 77 . 11,..

I like toget off of the highway And drive over roads that are strange, Explore some unfrequented byway Unmapped and unmarked, for a change; Away from the signboards and traffic, Away from the smell of the gas, Where there is peace most seraphic Aid nobody's honking to pass! The roads may be crooked and nar- row And muddy or rocky indeed, Th'e sort that is certain to harrow The soul of the man who wants speed; It's all in the way that you view them I don't greet bad roads with ac- claim, And yet I find waa.dering through thein Adds zest to the motoring game.

As ; pasteurized, cream butter will keep very much better than raw cream butter, it would pay to go to the extra trouble„of pasteurizing the cream when the butter is going to be held for some time. now to Pasteurize. To pasteurize, place ` the can or, cream in :a larger vessel containing hot water. Stir the cream gently until the temperature comes up to 000 F. Hold it at thattemperature for at least ten minutes, then cool it quickly to a low temperature. Hold iint g coldit. for a few hours before churn Churn' at 'a temperature low enough to bring the butter in nice firm granules. Avoid overchurning. Wash the butter twice"and salt;in the usual way. Work the butter a little to mix in the salt, then let it stand in a suitable place for a few hours before finishing the working. Have the butter of such firmness that it will stand sufficient working so that the salt will be evenly distri- butedly, and that it will be close in body and not show water pockets. Tlie Best Storing Packages. As: butter keeps best in large pack- ages, crocks, tubs and boxes are used. The crocks should be in goodcondi- tion, free from breaks in the glazing, and should be well scalded before using. Tubs and boxes should be coated with paraffine wax and lined with heavy parchment paper. Put the butter in in small pieces, pack solidly, using a butter packer or a wooden potato . masher. Pack each piece by working from the cen- tre outward. Pound well around the edges and -in the corners so as to avoid having- holes.. When th,e box is filled, level off the top and fold the ends of the paler over. If a tub or crock is used place a circle of archment paper on top. p Make a paste by moistening some salt with a little cold water, and srpead an even layer over the top of the package, then fasten down the lid i hither Packing and Storing Hints. If using crooks it will be necessary to cover the lid with two or three ply of clean Wrapping paper and tie it $,,eutte ..

The temperature should' be low and even. Butter made in September is not subjected to heat like the June butter:. • Those- who make butter in June for holding and, have not a good. place for keeping Iee would find' it to their advantage to place it in -a cold storage if there is one in the vicinity, The saving in ,quality, would more than pay the storage fees.—Depart- men of Extension, 0.

'Alfalfa, to be harvested properly, wants to leo put up while it is still a trifle green, as it will retain the leaves in this state, pack oloser in the mow and be a better and brighter color when fed. It is a common practice to cut the hay in the morning as soon as the dew is off, and then rake into bunches late in the afterhoon•,..after- it has thoroughly wilted.

They are the marks of His footsteps who walks the wait- ing hills, for ever the brown earth quickens wherever His strong touch thrills. How they spring into being, beautiful, bright and sure, wherever He presses His fingers, the lilies of God stand pure. I follow Him out on the hillside, away from the haunts of men; I am a child of the Maker, who clothes the world again. 0 it was barren in winter, it seemed that God forgot, for only the pure, cold flowers' of ice lay upon wood and grot. But He is abroad in the springtime—grow. strong my feet to go wherever His grass is springing, wherever His wa- ters flow. He takes me often with Him, He makes the world to sing, and He and I together rebuild it every spring. For every year in glory, and never twice the sante, He lights be- fore the eyes of men His hillside altar flame. -BOB ADAMS. 90.4 GwRn�ru Music Lessons ou , Brass and Reeds sstruusents.
