"PINNING IN" YOUNGSTERS.
It is impossible to get a really good
night's rest when you have to get up
several times to cover the children.
Pinning them in was suggested, but I
found that it had to be dono properly
or they couldn't move freely and torn
blankets and uncovered babies would
be the result. I have found the follow-
ing method to be very successful:
Use the large safety pins and pin

changes from day to day that are de-
cidedly out of line with the average,
for the week in which those days olia

As an illustration, though the aver-
age daily feed consumed by 100 chicks
in the fifth week was a little over
2,400 grams, they dropped from 2,540
grams on one day to 1,450 grams on
the next. Similarly the milk consum-
ed varied in that week all the way

that arrangement before.—F. E.
CALL FOR ME.
Youngsters have a sociable fashion
of calling for each other on the way
to school, but I have found it a habit
to discourage. I now let my dafighters ,
depend for companionship on the
schoolmates they chance to meet after
they start off, instead of having a
crony stop regularly. Some of our
callers, having very early breakfasts
themselves, come when we were just
about to sit down tothe table, and my
daughters got jumpy and impatient to
be off and, consequently, unabe to eat ,
a proper meal.
Another girl, with a tendency to
tardiness, kept my eldest daughter
nervously waiting for her in the
mornings and often within a few sec-
onds of being late with her. Other
times one of my girls would linger for
a friend who did not happen to be
going to school that day.
Altogether, it was an upsetting
practice, a constant irritation, and I
had to discontinue these morning calls.

PRACTICAL HOME WORK.
My school daughters are being help-
ed in writing, spelling and arithmetic
by way of our grocery -store order.
Before leaving home, the girl going
with me takes the order down from
dictation. While I shop else -where,
she goes to the grocer's and buys these
things, affixing the prices, adding
variable quentity, and suggesting that
perhaps one of the reasons for differ-
ences between poultrymen in their
ability to grow chickens well is to be
found in the success which they attain
in keeping the chickens steadily at
the business of consuming feed from
day to day._

which rests upon the heavier pad or

nightgown. Use a pin over each shoul-
der, close enough to the neck to keep

each top corner of the cover and one
on each side opposite the knees. The
child can move or turn easily; the
corner pins keep the back covered al-
ways and the blankets are not torn.

Storage of Vegetables on
the Farm.
STORING CABBAGE.
Danish Ballhead is a good variety
for winter storage, on account of its
_compact, hard heads. The cabbage to
be stored should be sound and free
s •
from disease and injury. A good, uni-
formly cool place around - 33 deg. F.,
where a fair degree of humidity may
be maintained, is desired. When cab-
bage is kept inside it is best piled on
slatted racks not more than two heads
deep. Outside, the crop is stored in
various forms of pits arid trenches.
Sometimes, the heads • are cut and
stored in A -shaped pits as used for
roots, or the plants, roots and all, may
be pulled and stored roots down in
the shallow trenches. Around the bed
a frame is built and banked up with
earth, while over the top sbraw or
other material is piled. Ventilation
should be provided in all pits, trenches
and root cellars or store houses.

The Tree People.
(Write in your own adjectives.)
Behind Anna Belle's house there
were deep woods with a little path
running through them that led to a
big rock.

path, and then settle herself cozily
with her back against the — rock.

One day as Anna Belle sat reading
in that — place, she had a very

looked up the trees were moving also.

Fertilization of Tobacco.
A statement of considerable import
is made by the officer in charge of the
Tobacco Division of the Dominion Ex-
perimental farms (Mr. C. M. Slagg)
when he says in his report for 1925
that the use of lime in tobacco fertil-
ization has in all cases lowered the
yield and quality of the resulting crop
at Farnham, Que. The use of com-
mercial fertilizers in conjunction with
manure gave .an average yield of two
hundred pounds more per acre than
manure alone as well as leaving a net
profit of approximately twenty dollen
per acre more. It is also stated that
last year's comparieon ot various
manures in tobacco fertilization gave
highest yields with sheep manure, fol-
lowed by cow, poultry, horse and hog
manures. The statement, however, is
added that since the soli useet. ahis
experiment was somewhat viable,
the results secured are not considered
reliable. The semi -hot bed has been
found at the Farnham station well
adapted to the production of vigorous,
early s.eedlings.
per cold storage conditions for several
weeks. Many market gardeners store
quantities which arc pulled late in the
season and not fully matured. The
plants are removed tialia `cool cellar or
frame, whete they are stood close to-
gether and the roots covered with
moist sand or loam. When outdoor
frames are used, too much covering
ventilation will cause hwith improper eating and rot-
ting of the heads.

LIQUOR advocates claim that Ontario will get thousands
more tourists if it goes wet on December 1.
These are the facts:—
The Dominion Government Report for 1925 states:
Ontario under prohibition had 1,290,000 motor tourists.
New Brunswick under Prohibition had 476,555 motor
tourists'.
Quebec under Government Sale had 111,983 motor tourists.
Government Sale means increased liquor sold and consumed, with
increased dangers.
DO you want our highways thronged with hilarious joyriders and
campfollowers of the liquor traffic?
Do you want to encourage and promote reckless driving upon the
highways on the part of our own citizens?
Don't be fooled. Make your vote count againit these dangers.
