Long handled tools save
stooping and backs, and often
do the work just as well and
a lot more quickly. It is stir -
prising bow accurate and quick-
ly one ,can do thinning and
weeding of even tiny stuff with
a long -handled sharp hoe or cul-
tivator provided the same is
narrow or comesto a point. The
D -shaped dutch hoes are excel-
lent things for killing weeds
and loosening up the top soil,
but one must be careful in us-
ing too close to sprawly vege-
tables and flowers. There are
all sorts of tiny rakes, trowels
and cultivators, With any of
this equipment the work will be
cut in two if the edges are kept
sharp and clean. An old file will
be handy.
Soil Building
If the vegetable garden is a
fair size and a little bigger than
we really need for the whole
season, it is an excellent idea
and a labour saver to set a strip
aside and plant this with some
cover crop like buckwheat, oats,
or clover, sown fairly thick and
broadcast. Soon this crop takes
over, chokes out the weeds, and
we let it grow for several
weeks. Then when a foot or so
high and still green, we have it
plowed or spaded under. In
thisway we save ourselves the
trouble of constant cultivation
to keep the weeds down and we
do something more, we add
valuable humus and fertility to
the soil. It is really amazing
what a few cover crops turned
under will do in the way of
loosening up the heaviest clay
or adding what is termed body
to sandy soil.
Year Round Enjoyment
The average European expects
to get pleasure and food out of
his garden every day in the
year..Of course his winters are
usually much milder, but we
can learn a great deal from
these experienced old country
people just the same. In far too
many cases the Canadian gar-
dener thinks just of a . few
months in the summer and even
less when it comes to vegetables.
It's a feast. or famine. A few
weeks when the lettuce, spin-
ach and radishes are just right,
A few days of feasting on green
peas or fresh corn, a little longer
for tomatoes perhaps, and cu-
cumbers and melons.
That's pretty wasteful gar -

a similarly marked bullet in
his teeth. The trick has been
branded a hoax, but six magi-

barbecue Sauces Dress Up: spring's Chickens
By DOROTJii MADDOX.
The barbecue season is almost here. Here are recipes for two
special sauces which are delicious and di:erent.
Broiled Barbecued Chicken (2 servings)
One and one-half to 21/2 -pound chicken, 7/s cup melted butter.
If chicken is frozen, thaw, Split chicken into 2 halves, Rinse
in cold water. Dry.
Break hip, knee, and wing joints. Pour lemon sauce (see
below) over chicken and allow to stand one hour. Drain.
Pull leg and wing to the body and hold in place by skewers
to make a compact piece, Season with salt and pepper,
Place on broiler pan 6 to 7 inches under heat source.' Brill
slowly. Turn every 11 te, 15 minutes and brush with melted
butter, Repeat for 40 minutes or until tender.
Lennon Sauce
One clove garlic, a/4 cup salad oil, 1/y cup lemon juice, 2 table-
spoons grated onion, r/a teaspoon salt, % teaspoon < pepper, 7%4
teaspoon dried thyme.
Ham sauce is another special treat for serving with chicken..
Chicken with Ham Sauce (4 servings)
One chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, ready -to -cook weight; 3 table-
spoons cooking oil, 1 cup diced onion, 1 cup slivered, cooked hare;
2 tablespoons flour, 8 -ounce can tomato sauce, 3 -ounce can sliced,
broiled mushrooms, .'/s cup concentrated' orange juice, 1/a tea-
spoon salt, 3/s teaspoon pepper.
Cut chicken in serving -size pieces, wash and dry carefully.
Heat oil in large heavy skillet or Dutch oven over moderate heat.
Add chicken and brown quickly on all sides, Remove from
skillet. Add onion and ham.
Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes, Blend in flour,
add tomato sauce and mushrooms, orange juice, salt, pepper.
Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils.
or Your Table
,Springtime barbecue is a zestful treat for alt when tangy lemon
sauce is used to marinate the bird.
Return chicken to skillet, cover and simmer gently until meat is
tender, about 15 minutes, turning and basting occasionally.
Serve with hot. rice, spaghetti or noodles,
Bening. With the many varieties
we have today, it is possible to
spread even relatively short sea-
son things like corn, peas and
spinach over w eek s. This
spreading can be further •ex-
tended by planting each variety
and type at least three .times,
first earlier than usual, then
about the average time and
finally two • or three weeks
later. In this way we get far
more volume and far higher
quality, too.
Handling Slopes
Except where the garden lay-
out is very tiny, a sharp dif-
ference in levels can be really
into an advantage. Here we can
use something different, like a
rock garden or a series of steps
or a stone wall perhaps, or a
hedge. We use these to break
the connection between the up-
per and lower level. This will
add to the attractiveness and
individuality of any layout.
The general plan is to make
both the upper and lower parts
level, then take up the differ-
ence between in one slope. If.
there is a very big difference, a
wall will probably be necessary
with steps corning down. But
quite a difference, up to three
feet or more, can often be ab-
sorbed by a rock garden or even
a- combination of shrubs, trees
and flowers. The shrubs and
trees, of course, hold the sloping
soil, especially during spring
run offs.

Ventilation of barns requires
more 'air circulation during the
spring and fall season than dur-
ing the winter. When the out-
side temperature is 40 degrees
above zero, 6 to 10 times more
air is needed than at 20 below
zero, according to W. Kalbfleisch
of the Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa. Under mild con-
ditions natural flue ventilation
is inadequate but fans can pro-
vide a positive movement of
air.
The primary purpose of barn
ventilation is to remove mois-
ture from the building, When
tht cold, outside air is moved
through a barn it picks up a
large amount cf moisture. In
contrast to this the outside air
in April and October is normal-
ly damp and does not pick up
much moisture when passing
through the barn.
* *
At an outside temperature . of
40 degrees and a barn tempera-
ture of 50 degrees, about 100 cu-
bic feet of air is • required • to
remove the moisture .produced
by a • dairy cow. For a barn with
25 cows, a .fan should have a
capacity of at least 2,500 cubic
feet per minute' operating on a

At . a temperature of 45 de-
grees, approximately 150 cubic
feet is needed per head or rough-
ly 4,000 feet for 25 cows. Above
this temperature, the air re-
quirements increase so rapidly
that it is advisable to open all
doors and windows to secure
sufficient ventilation.
* * *
To handle small amounts of
air during the• middle of the
winter and a large volume in the
spring and fall, it is desirable
to use two or more fans in large
barns. With this arrangement
one fan can be operated in cold
weather and all fans during mild
weather.
In smaller barns of less ,than
30 cows, it is more economical
to use one fan with a double
speed motor or a unit having
belt pulleys of two or three sizes.
By this means the air flow
through the barn can be regu-
lated and the danger of cold
drafts reduced during the cold
weather.
1Viillions of board feet of tim-
ber are destroyed annually by
forest insects. To combat this de-
struction, forest entomological
laboratories have been estab-
lished in all timber producing
provinces of Canada, Pest con-
trol is not a simple thing and
there is still much to be learned
in this field of research, The
coming World Congress of en-
tomology to be held in 1Vlontreaii
next August, should' give lead-
ing scientists from all over the
world an excellent opportunity
to exchange iclees on the sub-
ject.

Extensive killing of trees by
lee!. eating insects such as the
spruce budworm is the most
conspicuous type of damage
'caused by forest insects. Epi-
demics of this nature may be so
widespread and resulting tree
mortality so great that it is im-
possible to salvage dead timber
before it begins to deteriorate.
Wood beetles and ambrosia
beetles, aided by sap -rotting
fungi, cause rapid.. deterioration
of 'standing dead trees. This
vastly increases the difficulty of
carrying out profitable salvage
operations.

is caused by such pests as the
white pine weevil, and Euro-
pean pine shoot moth.
Depletion of the seed supply
of valuable coniferous trees is
caused by a number of insects
which attack the developing
seeds and cones. This type of
injury has assumed greater im-
portance in recent years due to
increased demands for forest tree
seed both at home and abroad.
One impostant pnase of forest
research is the operation of a
forest insect survey. This infor-
mation supplies a continuous
record of infestations and their
periodic fluctuations in all parts
of Canada,

Natural control measures are
presently being studied and used
in conjunction with chemical
control. Parasites, introduced
from abroad, and a virus disease,
have effectively controlled the
European spruce sawfly, .Not
many years ago this insect was
rated as the most serious threat
to the spruce stands of eastern
North America. Also a European
virus, introduced in 1949 to com-
bat the European pine sawfly,
has been used successfully i1•r
aerial spraying operations to
protect plantations of Scots pine
in southern Ontario. Introduc-
tion of predacious insects is an-
other means of natural control
which has shown some merit in
recent years. Some species have
been imported from Europe to
combat the balsam woolly aphid
in the Maritime provinces.
How They Live bn
The PhiHHpines
Behind the mountains of Bag-
uio, .the summer capital of the
Philippines, a mother's work be-
gins even before the stn has
risen,
While the leaves in the fruit
• yard drip with dew, Doneii pre-
pares the family breakfast. Her
pot of sweet potatoes is sup-
ported by three. stones.arranged
in a triangle and set on a firm,
level spot. Direct heat comes
from the burning firewood ar-
ranged in between the stones.
While breakfast is being cook-
ed. Doneii's husband is out in
'the rice fields doing whatever;
important work can be done in
the cool of the morning.
A little before mid-morning,
he arrives from work and break-
fast is all ready for hire. He
eats his sweet potatoes and after-
wards a cup of hot rich cocoa
bought from the village• gro-
cery store or from fruit pods
of the cacao tree which grows
in the back yard. After Doneii
serves her husband, then she
eats with the children.
How Doneii can keep her
days' and weeks' work in order
without any memo calendar is
sometimes a wonder. Two weeks
ago, she noticed that her sweet
potato patch in Dontog needed
to be weeded, there were cu-
cumbers ready to be harvested,
and a little space to be replant-
ed with corn. She must return
after seven days and today is
the eighth day.
Since Doneii expects to stay in
the patch until late afternoon.
she must bring her lunch. From
the meate which she salted and
preserved by drying in the sun,
she gets a few slices and roasts
them in live charcoal. She, wraps
this together with newly cooked
red rice in soft banana leaves
and places this lunch in a small
bamboo basket. As tor water,
there is a spring found not far
from her vegetable and potato
patch.
On 'the way to work, Doneii
'plays her bamboo musical in-
strument.
Aside from harvesting, weed-
ing and planting, Doneli tills
the ground around the roots of
the sweet potato vines. She also
takes mental note of the condi-
tion of the fences around the
patch. If 'they need any mend-
ing, her husband must know
about it.
The afternoon now gone, Don-
eii leaves for home, and gets
there before her husband does.
Her -basket empty except for her
lunch is now filled with sweet
potatoes, cucumbers, a head of
yellow squash, string beans, a
hand of bananas, and even fire-
wood.
As soon as she arrives home,
Doneii prepares for the evening
meal. Aside from rice, she also
cooks vegetables. She lets a pot
of water boil and puts in chick-
en meat chopped into s m a 11
pieces. Irish potatoes cut into
cubes are boiled with the meat.
When both are tender, Doneii
adds the green beans which she
cleaned and broke into thirds
while waiting for the meat and
potatoes to cook.
As an end product, Doneii has
vegetables, meat and soup, the
last of which has the flavor of
the different ingredients which
were cook e•d in the boiling
water.' The soup is equivalent
to canned soup which the mod-
ern house -mother buys from a
supermarket, opens, and heats
in a few minutes. For dessert,
Doneii's family has either ba-
nana, pineapple, or papaya -
whichever fruit is in season.
While Doneii does not have
dish towels, she does not stack
her dishes in an improvised cup-
board. The dishes are dried out-
side in a rack set beside the
water jars.
When the family is out in the
fields so that the meal is cooked
outside, the plates are washed
beside a running brook. Soft
green grass leaves are as effec-
tive
as sponges and sand is ttsed
as a substitute for soap. The use
of the sand on the enamel plates
is just as effective as any
cleanser on silverware, china-
ware, or glassware.
After diene r, the family •
gathers around a fire and there
is a give and take of stories as
well as news of village events
which have taken place .during
the day, When bedtime comes,
Doneii brings out a wide mat
and spreads it open on the floor '
which is made of clean and
polished "rono" sticks woven
and held together by rattan
vines gathered from the forest.
The floor of the hut is a few
feet above ground, level and

The Gospel for All Men
Acts 11:1-18
Memory Selection: 1 percel'vea
that God is no respectolr o
persons: but in every natio*
he that , feareth bin, and
worketh righteousness, is ae-
cepted with him. Acts 10:34-
35.
Jesus in his last interview
with his disciples said, "Ye shalt
receive power after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto
me, both in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea, and in Samaria. and
unto the uttermost part of the
earth." Their first witness was
at Jerusalem. After the martyr-
dom of Stephen they were scat-
tered throughout Judea and Sa-
maria. So far their ministry was
to Jews. But the command had
said, "Unto the uttermost part
of the earth." That meant that
the Gentiles were to hear the
Good News of the Saviour. To-
day's lesson relates' how God
spoke to the devout Roman cen-
turion telling him to send for
Simon Peter. Peter had to be
prepared for the coming of the
messengers by a vision also.
Peter overcame his racial pre-
judice and went to the Roman's
house. God poured out the Holy
Spirit upon Cdrnelius and his
friends just as he had upon the
Jews. Peter was prepared to
face . his Jewish brethren and
related the wonderful experi-
ence. He said in conclusion,
"Forasmuch then as God gave
them the like gift as he did unto
us, who believed on the Lord
Jesus Christ; what was I, that
I could withstand God?" They
all agreed, "Then heth God also
to the . Gentiles granted repen-
tance unto life."
Every race thinks itself super-
ior to all others. Paul said, "Croc.
-hath made of one blood all
nations of men for to dwell on
all the face of the earth," Some
races have advanced more ra-
pidly in the development of the
earth's resources. The Gospel of
Jesus Christ is for all.
Recently we noticed a picture
of Jesus with children of differ-
ent
ifferent races about him. The white
child had a favored position. It
a Chinese artist were doing such
a painting he would give the
yellow child the preferred posi-
tion. Jesus actually loves the
black child as much as either.
Letus not despise those of other
races but huinble ourselves un-
der the mighty hand of God,
there are several reasons for
this. Under the floor are kept
baskets, gardening tools, thta
mortar and pestle. Also, one
finds a bench or two which any
foot traveler is welcome to use
when he wants to rest on hitt
way to a distant place.
The raised floor keeps stray
animals like chickens and doge
from entering the house. Prowl-
ers are likewise discouraged
from gaining entrance.
The stepladder is raised in.
the evening when the whole
family retires, lowered in than
morning, and raised up again
and kept in 'a secure place when,
the family has gone to the fields.

that God is no respectolr o
persons: but in every natio*
he that , feareth bin, and
worketh righteousness, is ae-
cepted with him. Acts 10:34-
35.
Jesus in his last interview
with his disciples said, "Ye shalt
receive power after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto
me, both in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea, and in Samaria. and
unto the uttermost part of the
earth." Their first witness was
at Jerusalem. After the martyr-
dom of Stephen they were scat-
tered throughout Judea and Sa-
maria. So far their ministry was
to Jews. But the command had
said, "Unto the uttermost part
of the earth." That meant that
the Gentiles were to hear the
Good News of the Saviour. To-
day's lesson relates' how God
spoke to the devout Roman cen-
turion telling him to send for
Simon Peter. Peter had to be
prepared for the coming of the
messengers by a vision also.
Peter overcame his racial pre-
judice and went to the Roman's
house. God poured out the Holy
Spirit upon Cdrnelius and his
friends just as he had upon the
Jews. Peter was prepared to
face . his Jewish brethren and
related the wonderful experi-
ence. He said in conclusion,
"Forasmuch then as God gave
them the like gift as he did unto
us, who believed on the Lord
Jesus Christ; what was I, that
I could withstand God?" They
all agreed, "Then heth God also
to the . Gentiles granted repen-
tance unto life."
Every race thinks itself super-
ior to all others. Paul said, "Croc.
-hath made of one blood all
nations of men for to dwell on
all the face of the earth," Some
races have advanced more ra-
pidly in the development of the
earth's resources. The Gospel of
Jesus Christ is for all.
Recently we noticed a picture
of Jesus with children of differ-
ent
ifferent races about him. The white
child had a favored position. It
a Chinese artist were doing such
a painting he would give the
yellow child the preferred posi-
tion. Jesus actually loves the
black child as much as either.
Letus not despise those of other
races but huinble ourselves un-
der the mighty hand of God,
there are several reasons for
this. Under the floor are kept
baskets, gardening tools, thta
mortar and pestle. Also, one
finds a bench or two which any
foot traveler is welcome to use
when he wants to rest on hitt
way to a distant place.
The raised floor keeps stray
animals like chickens and doge
from entering the house. Prowl-
ers are likewise discouraged
from gaining entrance.
The stepladder is raised in.
the evening when the whole
family retires, lowered in than
morning, and raised up again
and kept in 'a secure place when,
the family has gone to the fields.
