Origin MUNSON. .Variations—Monson, Mansen. Racial Orig in—EngIIsh; also Scottish. Source—Given names'. Munson is a family dame" of quite simple and regular origin, but you'd hardly guess the given name from which it comes unless you were fa- niiliar. with the- manner in which the English of the Middle Ages abbrevi- ated. their given names'. Many of the shortened forms •of given names• were the same as those we use to -day, such as Dick for Rich- ard, }tarry for Henry, Ed. for Edward, Edgar for Edmond, and so on . But there was also a method sof using other syllables of a name than the, first for purposes of abbreviation and variation. This has vkrtuahl•y disappeared among English-speaking peoples', though it re- mains among the Germans among whorl Hans for John (from "Johan- nes") is widespread. Inniedieval England "Munn," "Mun" and "Mon" were regular variations of Edmond anal Edmund,- and the simple addition of the ending "son" to one or the other'of tlfese forms has given us ' the patronymics Munson, Monson and in some cases, through further varia- tion, Manson. Manson, however; is more likely to be of Scottish origin, a development of "Magnus -son." This is- the name of one of the s.epts or ,branches of the Clan Gunn„ that clan which rose to pro- minence in the fifteenth century, as the followers of George Guun, the Gaon, "C'iowner" of Coroner, a Listoric figure - in Scottis]vhistory. ° WELLER Variations — Crosswelier, Wells, Atwell.

GUSTAVE TOTT, Manager today, there would be few, if any, families bearing names in this group: But medieval England drew its water from wells; hence the family names of Welles, Wells, Welman, Atwell and Crossweller. Wells were important enough, and 'far enough a -part in the •days when family names began to form to: make Suck narnes quite widespread. Fami- lies which lived: in proximity to the wells quite naturally were -distinguish- ed by reference to the fact in tike eon- versation. of their neighbors. The name Weller- is a combination of the word "w•e11; and an old Anglo- Saxon word "were;" meaning "man." It is, in fact, exactly .the same, name as. Welman. In medieval English the use of the termination "er" was much more common than it is to -dace though the modern'use of it can by no means be cane.ddered. re -striated.` The name Atwell is a survival of an- other method of 'saying that a person lived near a well. The original form was "Atte Well," and such names as "Roger Atte Well" are quite common in the old records. The modern name of Wells may represent a shortening either' of Atwell or Weller or Welman. The "crosawel-ler". was one who dwelt near a across -well." It was customary in nieddeval En -gland to erect shrines. .with little .eruciflxes, here and there along the roadside. Often such shrines would be located at or near a well, and such places were known as "cross - wells." In 1925 there were 333 establish- ments in Canada manufacturing' pro- ducts from metals other than iron and steel. These included 11 plants pro- ducing aluminium and aluminium wares; 81 plants fabricating brass and copper products; 2-0 plants in the. white metal trade; 97 plants manufac— turing precious metal products; 108 plants making electrical goods; and 16 plants making miscellaneous articles from non-ferrous metals.

She called at every 0 house down the main road and I suppose she will stop here some day soon," megstioned the bachelor of the "Corners" as he sat down beside the door to enjoyhis after-dinner smoke and watch .the sun go down in all its .glory behind the wooded hills. "Why, weren't you at the meet - ging? Oh, no, 'it was held while you were in Toronto for the Winter - Fair," replied his sinter, who had come over just for a chat. And_go he had all his questions answered: "That woman" was a nurse, but a nurse who helped people before they got sick, as well as „when they had to stay in bed; a nurse who gave a lot of her time to the children- those who went to school and those who hadn't started yet and, most of all, the wee new babies just arrived in the homes throughout the Township. "The meeting was held in the Town Hall, and yon^'see, young Doc (you remember he's been Medical Health Officer since his father died), told us he could arrange without a cent of .cost to any 'of us or the Township,, to get a nurse to •come and give us hole for our- selves and our children, just like the farmers for years have been get- ting help in improving their stock and producing better quality of grain, - and every man and woman at the meeting wanted the nurse, so that's how she started." "Anel, Uncle, she was at the school to -day again, and I got a gold star," 'broke in his nephew, a young hopeful of nine years. "You got a star, and for what?" "Because for a whole week 1 had my chores done, my health chores, I mean; and you should hear the nurse tell us how easy it is to grown]) strong and healthy and be able to pitch ball and slug a hockey stick—Health Talks, she calls 'them; and the girls at school have lessons too, "Little Mother's Classes," and learn how to look after a little baby.

I was so weak for months 'that I could not walk across the room without a feeling of faintness. I had scarcely strength enough to stand up, and when. dressing would have to sit down two or three times. My face and lips were colorless, I had no appetite, and life did not seem worth living. A friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got six boxes. Before they were all gone I felt improved. My ap- petite was returning, color was com- ing into my face, and I was visibly stronger. I continued taking the pills and -.fully regained my former good health. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Piths a blessing to weak women, and hope my experience wi11 induce some other sufferer to try them."

The most convincing argument in favor of the purebred sire instead of the grade and scrub are the actual re ports which have been obtained from the use of both types: The following are actual experiences of farmers on their own farms:- A `farmer in Dufferin County.; On- tario, had a calf dropped March 18th, 1919, which he sold on December 12th of the same year at 23% cents per pound. This baby • beef brought $169.21. This calf was out of a -good grade cow which eves herself sired by a purebred bull. The calf was` also sired by an approved type of purebred sire. In the same 'stable on similar feeding and treatment at the 'same time was -a calf also out of a fairly good grade cow but sired by a grade bull. This calf was dropped Nov. 5th, 1918, and was sold on the same day as the calf already! referred to (Dec. 12, 1919). He brought 19 cents per pound or 4% cents less per pound than his stable mate by the purebred bull and he brought $174.80. He was 4% months older, had taken more feed and care, but did not have as good .quality and so was not as profitable as his better bred stable mate. These calves were exceptionally well fed, bat breeding counted -to the extent of 4,3a cents per pound and enabled the feeder to mar- ket his best calf at"very close to as march money in 43 months shorter time. This is a case where the feed- ing was right in both cases and where the purebred bull was directly respons- ible for the difference. The experience of a London Town- ship farmer, Middlesex County, with Make the best you can of the worst purebred and scrub bulls shows very you get. closely the place of the scrub sire. Six -- years ago he had in his herd eight very even purebred cows -that gave him eight bull calves from purebred sire. These were made steers and kept,until. two and one-half years old, finished ' on grass and when sold averaged $140 each. The next year the farmer was ailing and was uunabla to take his cows a distance to a purebred sire. A neighbor offered him the use of his scrub sire. The progeny from, mating from which five steers were kept, fed and marketed under the same condi. tions "brought $114 each, although there had been a slight rise in price during the year. This farmer stated that on the five steers he lost $130, in one year, and to the average farmer using, a -scrub sire on ten females the loss would be .$200, from 'a beef stand- point alone. If the slaughters of the scrub hull were kept in the herd this hoes Would show in their calves in less- er degree. This man claims that as soon as farmers keep an accurate pro- fit,ana loss account the scrub bull will disappear. A Peel County farmer's experience is as'followsi "Though we had been using•, purebred bulls for 'many years previous to a time about nine years ago, we yielded to teliptation on a growthy looking,; well-built grade Shorthorn for which we 'paid $35 at six months old.
