Of course, militaristic and pacifists alike some- times advance extravagant argu_ inerts in favor of their own particu- lar view. But the fact is, the peace and war issue is one of the greatest issues in the modern world and ev- erybody is thinking about it more or less. A correspondent wrote to me tho other day asking: "How can we pos- sibly expect nations to live at peace with each other when it seems ab- solutely impossible for individuals to do so? Every family has its squabbles troll. the g14Pest •4r friend@ quarrel Ideasfonal1y", my friend *rote, Mid then went on to cite instances from his own family., Now, on the face of it, theze does seem to be the germ of a perfectly reasonable argument there—an argu- ment against the possibility of peace which to say the least, seems feas- ible. But if my correspondent had only taken time to think deeply enough, he might have seen that it is rather a foolish argument when it is probed into. Think of it this way—there is no reason why people should be ex- pected to see eye to eye with each other in everything just because fate has decreed that they should be born into the sane family. Children of the same parents often, indeed al- ways, have physical differences, and they are naturally mentally different also. It is foolish to imagine that, simp'y because they have been born born of the same parents they have therefore been physically and ment. ally- east in the same mold. Very naturally, they differ in thought and in outlook even although they may have many things in common. And that is exactly as it should be. Nor is that any obstacle to living harmon- iously together. At least, it ought not to be. After all, we must be willing sure- ly to recognize that, agreement does not necessarly mean seeing eye to eye with each other in everything. That is a point that is often overlook- ed. Agreement means, rather, each party to the agreement conceding to each other of the other parties to the . agreement, the right to his own op- inion, conviction, and point of view. We can only be in agreement when everybody agrees to give everybody else freedom to carry on his own af- fairs in his own way and as he thinks best. Remembering that, there is one thing that would help us to attain ito the ideal of peace quicker than anything else, and it is the all round .adoption of the spirit of tolernace and non-interference in the private af- - fairs of the other fellow. In other words, the old motto "Live and let Live", even 1 it is a bit trite and time worn, is a good one. It is one that we need to practice in family, social, religious, commercial, political and international lite, It is just wonderful how far the practical application of it would take us. At all events, the world would be a much better place to live in 1 only we would all learn to obey that New Testament injunction which bids us "Study to be quiet, and mind, your own business". Unique Display At The C.N.E. The Men of the Trees organization has a very interesting booth this year at the Canadian National Ex- hibition, at the West end of the sec- ond floor, West annex to Coliseum, in the group including educational and handicrafts exhibits, which you are very cordially invited to visit, The booth contains a very valuable collection of beautiful photographs of British, tropical and American trees, which were first shown by the parent society in London, Eng- land—the ,exhibition being opened by General Lord Allenby; also an in- teresting set of photographs of Ont- ario trees, which are particularly beautiful and historically interesting. There is also attractive posters which have been kindly lent by the For- estry Department of the Province of Ontario, A11 those who love trees, and those who are interested in planting them for beautifying Canada as well as for food, fruit and nuts, are cordi- ally invited to become members of The Men of the Trees, and to learn more about the organization at the booth at the Canadian National Ex- hibition, where officers of the or- ganization are in attendance and welcome you cordially to the exhibit. Founded in 1922 by Richard St. Barbe Baker, The Men of the Trees is an international society of tree lovers. In England, the chairman is Colonel Sir Francis Younghusband, IC. C. S. I., supported by Field Marshal Viscount Allenby, G. C. B., the Rt. Hon. Lord Clinton, Colonel R. E. Crompton, R. E., C. B., Lady Georgina Mure, Sir John Stirling Maxwell, Bt., William Taylor, Esq., Professor R. S. Troup, F. R. S., and many others of international reput- ation. The Honorary Secretary is Mrs. Guy Winfield, 32 Warwick Road, London, S. W. 5, the Honorary Treasurer, the Honorable Mrs. Grant Duff, 10 Mulberry Walk, London, S. W. 3. The movement has made steady progress during the past eight years, with the result that the Men of the Trees have gathered to themselves thinking people throughout the world, who recognize that the art of forestry and the creation of a uni- versal trcr.-sense is essential to the progress and well-being of mankind. The Men of the Trees is a volun- tary organization to plant and pro- tect trees; to encourage Arbor Days and ceremonial tree planting as liv- ing memorials; to support legislat- ion to develop forests and parks and tree protection; to advocate living Christmas trees rather than ruthless slaughter of our forests; to visit famous trees, forests and gardens; to hold meetings and exhibits of tree paintings, photographs with com- petitions, lectures and broadcasts.

The adverse influences upon clover are f Cattle lack of drainage, lack of lime and soil acidity. Much waste goes on where high priced clover seed is put into land so sour that clover bacteria cannot thrive. Farms in this condi- tion rapidly decline as they are de- nied the medium that would enrich. there and their owners. Alfalfa has somewhat a similar bis- tory; the only difference between them is that clovers are suitable for short rations and alfalfa fits in -where longer rotations are necessary. But like clover, alfalfa will not grow on Thereis no reliable guide to age in cattle, as although the teeth are generally regarded as indicators, their condition is so affected by the character of the grazing or feed that it is impossible to place faith in them. A calf has eight small teeth in the jaw at birth. When 15 or 18 months old the two large central incisors make their appearance. At 2 1-4 to 2 1-2 years the next permanent teeth. a wet soggy sell or on a soil that has show up. The third pair will be re- I a hard pan under the surface for 3 placed at about three years, and at or 4 fent with underwater undrained i four years the cow has it mouth full away. Alfalfa cannot be grown of permanent incisors, With advancing age, the teeth wear down and become loose, and spaces show between them, This makes it more difficult each year for the animal to maintain condition,' even on good grazing, and necessi-1 tates more Mand feeding. The teeth! )nay wear right down to the gums, without"•falling out. But should they loosen, they are best drawn, and the cow handfed until the gums harden.I A rough and ready method of cont- puting age Is sometimes adopted. The rings on the Born of the COW I are eouixted, and ]t is estimated that the animal has had a many calves as there are rings. upon a soil that is deficient in lime or that upon which cannot be grown any other crop or where there is insuf- ficient fertility. The roots of alfal- fa and clover fill the soil with organ- ic matter, improving the condition of the soil and sub -soil. Their roots of.. ten penetrate down to the distance of eight feet in their search for food. Clovers alfalfa and all leguminous plants are soil improvers; the more they are grown the better the land will be where they are grown thus contributing to the building up of the rest of the farm. They are dual pur- pose plants, they feed tete soil and the cow in the barn at the same time. The Winter killing of clover is lar- gely climatic, but much of its evil ef- fects can be overcome by under -drain- ing and liming, and getting land in fertile shape to resist the climatic condition. Winter killing of clover does not however effect its utility as a soil improver when plowed under. "I have nothing to Lear from any- one."—Benito :Mussolini.
