There has been so hutch snow the last few clays our lane is just about plugged full.

Too bad—it began to look as if this was One winter that we could say we tvere tsevr•r 'batt in all winter. Not that the storm cause- ane much inconvenience—the worst 1 am likely to do is go for the mail. Put I feel sorry for people—espe- cially the women—who are looking after chickens at this time. It is no fun trailing back and forth through the snow to the brooder house. 1 have done plenty of it, so T know. And somehow the more it storms the more necessary it seems to make frequent trips—even to getting up through the night. Sometimes brooder stoves have a way of getting too !tot when it is very windy. Fven• if you are sure yours will be all right yon Still have it on your mind, Stoves are hard to regulate unless one has a • pen that is absolutely windproof. One young fanner said to me the other day.—"There is more work to rais- ing baby chicks than T ever real- ized!" E laughed. r imagine that is what a'lot of people find the first tine they tackle the job by them- selves. But theta -it has its com- pensations. There is nothing quite so fascinating as working with little chicks. But 'because • they are a lot of worry, and take up so much time —and because we are not getting , any younger—we are doing things the easy way—buying our chicks half grown. But yet every time I hear someone talking about baby chicks I wish I had some! Sounds as if I am hard to •please, doesn't • it? However, a few days of this kind of weather and I shall be quite content to let aneeee wt,a-wnr,t; them have my share of chickens as well as their own. By the way, here is a tip for anyone using an electric brooder. if you have trouble in getting red light bulbs just take an ordinary 15 or 25 watt bulb, hold it by the screw part and twirl it atoned in a can of red paint of enamel. Hang it up to dry and presto! you have a red bulb as good as, and cheaper than, any you can buy, Well, it looks as if margarine is becoming the $64 question, doesn't it? And yet r have a feeling it Quits 70 - Year - Old Mate, --- After five years of married life with Harry Ford, 70, Mrs. Eleanor Ford, 20, was awarded a divorce in Chicago on the grounds of cruelty. She testi- fied that he struck her during a quarrel resulting from his jealousy. The two were mar- ried when she was 15 and he was 65, will all straighten out its time. just wait until the hot weather comes and people find that margarine has very poor keeping qualities. It is easy to understand why housewives are latiying it now—it is the only appreciable way in which they can cut down the cost of living. Later on, when there is a price drop on other foods, butter will probably corne hack in full force. Personally, 1 see nothing against mararine as a food. When I was in England during World War I, we used it all the time. Since mar- garine went on sale in Canada we have tried it in the house just to see what all the fuss was about. We don't find it objectionable, but we do find it very tasteless. Mar- garine toast is a far Cry from but- tered toast. But for those who want it—well, let thein have it. When there is a noticeable down- ward trend in the cost of living there will not be the same demand for a butter substitute. In the mcantinie, if farmers "go broke" over the margarine issue, the storekeepers will soon know it, When farmers are hard -up their buying power is reduced to essen- tials. This is reflected by sales dropping off all along the line in manufactured and non - perishable goods. lndustry begins to feel the pinch and the spectre of unemploy- ment rears its ugly head. But when farmers prosper the whole country prospers. So, dear town -folk, if you think the farmer is making a for- tune— which he isn't — don't be- grudge hien his taste of prosperity. His welfare is your welfare. Buy margarine when you feel you must, but come back to butter when you can afford if. We need to give and take—this, poor old world could do with a lot more give and take than ft gets at present. We are all de- pendent, one upon the other, town folk and countryfolkalike—and at is poor policy to bite the hand that feeds yon. HOW CAN I?) Q, How can I prevent ice -cube trays from sticking? A.

In 1857, when the law Iaid a heavy hand on boxing, special trains boasting with a howling, fighting mob. groaned out of Fren- churclt Street Station for Southend at three, one morning. All knew the journey .would be exciting. At every Balt police appeared on the platforms to search the car- riages for the two "pugs" who were to bight that day for the champion- ship at some secretly arrandged rendezvous: Tom ,Sayers and Wil- liam Perry. But who would have thought -of looking for the ,brawny muscles of a prize-fighter beneath the skirts and flounces of a "comely female?" When the train stopped at Til- bury a dock laborer, carrying his mid-day meal in a red -and -white handkerchief, managed to squeeze between two of the watchful "peel- ers" and board the train. True, he was a big man, his nose was at, his ears Lumpy and disfigured, but most nest. eanoms. sae k. room for this workman," they cried, prising him into a compartment. Thus the two fighters were en- trained Truncheons and. Stampede Over the riot of the hill carne a posse in their white trousers, blue coats and glazed top -hats. There was a wild, headlong stampede. Sayers and Perry were hauled off in a boat ender the very truncheons of the irate police. Ostensibly heading back to the opposite shore -- to outwit the police—the 'ships cruised down river to effect another landing where a friendly fanner loaned a meadow sheltered by a row of sheds. Within half an hour the ring was erected. and the terrific fight began, it lasted one hour, forty min- utes, until Perry's face had livid weals down both cheeks and both his eyes were nearly closed. Sayers had made pugilistic history. A. lit- tle over the welter -weight limit, he had thrashed a fourteen -stoner, and for the first time in the English prize ring a man under eleven stone because heavyweight champion. ...Mr, James Brady writes vividly of these and other famous fighters ---frons jean Belcher and Tom Cribb to Langhans and Heenan — in "Strange Encounter=." Some of the fights were even between women bruisers. At one in London, in 1795 which lasted one hour, twenty minutes, with "Gentleman" Sohn Jackson and Dart Mendoza as se- conds, 11ary Ann Fielding, of Whitechapel, floored her opponent, a Jewess, more than seventy tunes. When two porters, Wigtnore and Johnson, fought near Camden Town in 1805, Wigmore's wife seconding him, was so annoyed at his giving in after fifteen minutes that she at once challenged Johnson's second, a man named Leveret, and soon they were going at It hammer and tongs.
