I was deathly ill at times, and for a while I hated my Husband terribly. I screamed bloody murder at him, wished I'd never seen him. He never lost his patience. "He kept house himself, hired a girl to do the laundry. Every day he told me how much he loved me, and what a sweet little woman he Inarried ... I did not understand at first, but I could see that he was sincere. Many times he dried my tears, and whispered sweet things in my ears. The doctor ordered care, iso- me, and my husband saw that I got it, "For nearly two months after the baby came, I had to have a nurse.

Making Oil Can Spout Longer The Ice Woman Cometh --Chris Landon, a Miami Beach, model, is wearing over $2,000,'000. worth of diamonds from the collection of Romanian Princess Rristavi-Tchicherine.

Declaration of pork products as surplus, and the decision to dump millions of dollars worth of other agricultural pro- ducts on the export market at prices below cost. And then along comes Louis Bromfield, well- known author, and owner of Mal- abar Farm in Ohio, and. tells a Canadian audience that bad farm- er's are largely responsible for low farm prices and that "during the next 25 or 30 years bad farmers will be eliminated, leaving only the farmer who is a scientist, a special- ist and a bt,siness-man." From other reports we notice a trend towards encouraging farin- ing on a large scale. Does that mean the gradual ousting of the 100 - acre farmer? Surely there is room for both types. In business we . have our Eaton's and Simpsoli's; Woolworth's and Kresge's-all of whom help promote competition. B h ld b 'h tt kicking a matt when he is down. Falling markets are bad enough but to insinuate that farmers have been short-sighted and are them- selves to blame, is adding insult to ,injury. It makes me think of the plight of an old soldier in think. Barrack Room Ballads - "I done my six years' service. 'Er Majesty sez: 'Good day - You'll please to come when you're rung for, And 'ere's your 'ole back pay; And fourpence a day • for baccy- an' bloomin' generous, too; An' now you can make yet fortune - The same as your officers do." Farmers, too. have done _ their yegra of service -so now they can be discharged and left to their own devices But if there should be an- other war-- then the farmer would get a lot of back -patting once again, and the old soldier be encouraged to rejoin the army. !'here is another aspect 1 don't likc in the present mix-up-aild that is the depressing effect it must have on the younger generation. For years, now .-vervthing has been. done to encourage young folk to stay on the farm. In fact, w e had come to the place when the rising generation was beginning to realise that farming might not be such a bad idea after all, But what encour- agement is there now, when almost every day something comes to light which seems to spell blue ruin for the farmer? Personally, I don't think things are that bad, because there is more to farming than dollars and cents, but that knowledge is something which comes only with the passing of time, Some years ago Partner and t at- tended a meeting near here. I think it was in the 30's We listened to several speakers telling farmers how to get the best returns for their work -just as we are being told today. Then Professor Graham, formerly of the O.A.C., spoke briefly. Dr Gra- ham -did not dwell on the problems confronting farmers but stressed the fact that 'farming was a way of living.'" There was more inspiration in his few remarks than in all that had been said before, It may be nec- essary for a farmer to be a scientist, a specialist, and a business -pian, but he is also an idealist and a philoso- pher -or he wouldn't be a farmer. And his idealism, and his philosophy of life will carry him over the bumps when science, specialization and business ability have let hien down. I was amused when I read in the paper that Louis Bromfield was pre- sented by the Canadian Author's As- sociation with a copy of Peter Mc - Arthur's "Ili Pastures Green," 1 wondered what these two would have in common -Louis Bromfield, farm efficiency expert, and Peter McArthur, well -loved friend and i champion of the ordinarq, everyday farmer.

Twice As ,Shaggy As The Chickadee adee Among the whiter . birds which patronize a feeding station, few have a more ingratiating inanner than the little downy woodpeckers. They are like bright-eyed, shy, slightly awk- ward youngsters trained to mind their manners and watch their words. They are dressed in black and white bib -and -tucker, and the boys among thein have red caps. They come to the grain board in swooping, little bursts of flight perch there, look around, and choose perhaps one seed. Then they spot the suet. That is their meat, literally. They work around it like acrobats, in every conceivable position, pre- ferably upside down, And then they are off again, usually to the nearest apple tree, where their chisel -beaks probe unerringly to the dormant larvae of borers waiting for spring. The downy is only a little larger than a chickadee, but he is twice as shy. He comes seldom to the feeder when other birds are there, and he is .)lie of the few birds which sel- raise a ruckus over food. Perhaps he knows that there is enough, if not plenty, to be had by working for it in any orchard, even in win- ter. Certainly be is not one to take all his meals at the free counter; he comes and goes as lie pleases, even at the suet box, And he is provident enough to find himself a home in a hollow tree and spend the winter nights in that smug shelter. If there is valid criticism of the downy it is that he is too quiet. His song is simple, with no more than a dozen notes all told. But it is a sweet song, double sweet in winter, and its quality is good cheer.
