As a general rule three times the diameter of the seed is the proper depth to sow.. This means merely pressing things like lettuce, turnip_s' and radish into the soil, but covering the larger seeds such as corn, beans, peas and 'beets to a depth of about an inch. With flowers, the finer sorts like Alyssum, and Poppies should be sown on top of the ground and barely pressed In. Some of these very fine seeds are Ilest mixed thoroughly with a little dry sand and the mixture sown, te avoid sowing too thick. Bulb and tubers such as potatoes, gladiolus and dahlias are put in from six to eight inches. Thinning is just as import- ant, With flowers the rule to follow is to allow half as much space be - Omen as the plants are high. In ev- ery seed catalogue the height of the mature plait is given. Suppose one is working with the ordinary type Zinnia. When fully grown this will be a bushy plant"' about 1S inches high and almost the ,same across, therefore it should be thinned to stand about ten inches epee-. Not -only will such thinning result in stouter plants but they will also be more bushy and symimetrical. Even the quick growing leaf lettuce and radish should be thinned, though an inch between plants will be enough. Beans, peas and corn being big seeds are sown at the proper distance, that is at least three inches apart and in the case of corn in rows, six inches. Two inches apart will be enough for beets and carrots. Of course this does not allow full . development but when the plants begin to fill up the space, half of them should be 'taken out and used. Equipment. Gardening is very inexpensive ie the way . of necessary- equipment. With a rake, a small hoe and a spade one can. accomplish wonders, though if the place is a large One, it is ad- visable to have a few more tools. At this time, of year, a string and a , few stakes for making straight rows will come in handy. One of, the small garden tractors which culti-: elates, seeds and even plows will take the place of a horse. Later on when it is necessary to cultivate once a week, first to conserve the moisture and secondly to destroy weeds, a five toothed hand cultivator costing less than two dollars *ill save hours of time with the hoe. Of the latter im- plement there are several sizes avail- able. Some are pushed ahead and being very shari. they shave off rweeds• beneath trees and close to rows which are usually hard placed to reach with the ordinary hoe. ‘• A digging fork in ordinary garden soil is to be preferred to a spade. For the flower garden, a trowel and hand digging fork about ten inches long • will be found useful, Climbing Vines. Of the flowering sorts of climbing vines, the first to bloom is the Wistaria. This, comes out with the daffodils. Early in the spring, with sometimes a second cropof flowers in August.

The fragrant blue -flowered wistaria is followed in floral display by climbing roses growing over trellises, arbors, or pergolas. Two varieties of clem- yes are recommended, thr: Jackmanii, which produces huge purple bloom out little foliage and therefore should te planted with another vine, and the Raniculata furnishing a sheet of white starlike fragrant flowers for alt,ut two weeks. The scarlet Trum- pet Honeysuckle is another splendid ptrmanent vine, Its foliage, a deep green, conies early and is retained late, therefore making it an ideal •creen. It flowers freely and is very fragrant. The silver lace vine blooms luring late summer and is a. rapi(l. grower. There is nothing betti„r for covering walls of brick or stor-e than the Boston ivy in the warmer dis• tricts of Canada, and the special clinging type Virginia creeper in dis- tricts where the climate is more rig- .»-ous. If one wants a vigorous and rapid grower, when once establiShed, the Dutchman's Pipe will fit,in„well, producing huge leaves of a light green. For those who want a .i•creen in a hurry, there are plenty of an- nuals from which to choose, such as the Cardinal Clinsber, Cdbaea, Morning Glory, Gourd, Climbing Naturtiums, Canary Bird Flower, Scarlet Runner Bean, and Hiimulus, a rapid growing Japanese type of hops. • Garden Fruit. • Some people desire to include some fruit 'with the garden. A summer apple like Yellow Transparent, As- trachan or Melba can be chosen for d:ssert purposes. or Duchess for cooking; for all, Wealthy; for early winter the McIntosh or 'Delicious; and for late winter, the Northern Spy. In the Prairie Provinces or Northern Northern Quebec or Ontario, there are some new hardy typesas well as good crabapples available. Among sweet cherries, Windsor, 'Bing and Tartarian are recommended, while Montmorency and Early Richmond are standards of the other type. Clapp's F,aVerite is one of the best pears,coming very early, while Bartlett is a good later sort. Plums are grown almost anywhere in Can- ada, as well as currants, raspberries. strawberries, .blackcaps. thimble ber- ries, Logan berries, and gooseberries. Grapes are fairly hardy, and among the best are the Lindley, Brighton and Delaware. Sow Good Seed. One of the best services rendered by the experimental farms is the testing of varieties of grain to de- termine their suitability to particu- lar areas. That this work ,has been extensive and satisfactory is indicat- ed by the general adoption of varie- ties that were first distributed from 'the farms. Outstanding example.; are Marquis and Garnet wheat in the West. and 0. A. C. No, 44 and 0. A. C. No. 72 oats in Ontario. In the face of all this. -attempts are made at times to push the sale of .54€4:.d from the United States of so-called new varieties at fancy prices on the. claim -that fabulous yields may be obtained. About a year ago a car- load of an inferior sort was sold in central Ontario at $1.35 to 32 per bushel, even though it graded No. 3. This leads A. H.'Martin; of the Crop and Markets Branch, to state that not one variety ever introduced into the province by high pressure sales- mich-,thas ever been equal,to the. stan- dard varieties already grown. Another matter to be kept in mind at the seedin'g season is that quality counts, either in home grown or pur- chased seed. Experitaents at the- 0. A. C.. prove that large plump ker- nel yields 20 per cent. more than light or shrunken seed. These ex- pmments also how that an addi- tional outlay for plump seed will in- crease. the Yield from 10 to 15 bush- els per acre, which at the present price of 40 cents per bushels for feed oats means a cash increase of from $4 to $6 per acre..

The telegraph clerk changed Peking into Peiping and my mother failed to make out where I would geldb:e.l. al if you talk Ohie.a with a Chinaman, use the new formulas: China, capital Nanking, principal centers Peiping, Shanghai, etc. Not only wars and revolutions have changed the map of the country, but also evolution, "peaceful" penetration and diplomatic intrigues. The visitor who returns to China after. an absence of several years is amazed at first 'at the profound changes that. have taken place. It does not take him long, however, to realize that the old face still lurks behind the new front. The chauffeur who drives the taxi is essentially the rikshaeman of former days, who de- spises you if you show yourself too friendly disposed towarde,him or tip him too generously. ,Peking has been wiped off the slate, but ithe ancient capital of the manchu emperors is still there, the same as it was hundreds of years ago swarming with people, caravans of camels solemnly trotting through the marvelously carved wooden gates with its thousands of merchants, its clouds of dusts and glorious monu- ments and unsanitary smells. IL may call itself Peiping, but it has pre- served its ancient character and this conservatism is symptomatic and symbolic of young China. IJ Shangihai the students are attir- ed in western clothes. At Nanking the Chinese women dance in dresses that leave arms and back bare. At Jehol the loudspeakers -shout the stock exchange quotations 'and the very heart of Szechuen may he reach- ed by airplane. Yet China, the etern- al, is more present than ever. She is the source from which young China draws her strength, endurance and intelligence. Peking is dead! What does it matter? Long live Peiping! The visitor who collies from Europe lands at Hongkong. Travelling from Hongkong to Canton, the same vision follows him all along his route; bent women, each with a ehild safely tied to her back, break stones and pave the roads, supervised by their lords and masters, who sit and smoke and .epit and frequently enhance their or- ders by a few well -aimed blows. The 'women groan, while the children look on with complete indifference. Involuntarily I think of my Chin- ese women friends at Tientsin, Nan- king, Shanghai,' those elegant, well- groomed, educated women, adored by their lovers and respected by their husbands. The, women who in the large Chinese centers attract atten- tion by their waved heads, their neat attire and their large feet. Those are the' representatives of modern womanhood in China, the forerunners of Chinese feminism. They aro num- ei•ous, of course, yet they disappear among the two hundred million wo- men of China. One must beware of exaggerating the importance of the intellectual wo- men of China. In the interior of that immense country the women, although naturally intelligent and very capable in the management of their household, are illiterate and to- tally ignorant, especially of the move- ment intended to emancipate them from man's domination. They go on as their mother and' grandmothers had done, and this is the true face of 'Chinese womanhood. ! The overwhelming majority of the Chinese people live in utter misery.

One day I visited a large factory built aecordingeto the latest require- ments of technique and industrial hy- giene. I was impressed by the pro- gress. But stepping out of the fac- tory, something urged .me to take a look at the factory situated nearby in a rather old building. There I saw little children, of perhaps six or seven years, tied to the looms, compelled to sort silk ten hours a day. I saw women who continued to work, their back curved, while they were nursing their babies. Many of these women were pregnant. The lack of light and fresh air was ap- palling. ‘In utter dismay I walked out and that same night brought the •sub- ject up before a few very progres- sive university"eo-eds with wham. I was hailing dinner. These women were supposed to hold very advanced ideas on social' mutters. But rely in- dignation found no response with them. Very politely they went on re- peating formulas which meant noth- ing to them. And I realized, as never before, the immense callous- ness and „indifference of the !China- man toward his neighbor. How is it passible to speak of modernism and progress in a country, where individ- ualism is almost equivalent to an- archy and whose people are deprived of any social sense? Every Chinese province lives its own life and speaks its own lan- guage. It is not unusual to hear two Chinese students conversing in fluent English. One comes from Peip- ing and knows only his own dialect, while the other speaks Cantonese. To come together they have fo re- sort to a foreign language. There is no cohesion and" no contact be- tween the single parts of China, as there as no contact between the in- dividual Chinese. It is impossible to make ;a - Chinaman believe that one may do something for other reasons than personal interest. He will nev- er believe you. '• An Englishman„ impressed by the sufferings of the laborers in the stone -quarries, wanted to be lelpful. He brought food and wine to the un- fortunate men, chained to wheel -bar- rows so heavy, that to Mee them they were obliged to advance creep- ing on all fours. He offered to dress their wounds. None of the men would accept his help. They were sure of his evil intentions, for why else should he wish to help them? Large, imposing -looking, modern steamers navigate the upper Yangtze river and shoot over its rapids. On board, the wealthy. Chinese merch- ants in European attire and their be- jewelled wives clad in the latest French models play bridge, dance and drink coektails. They,. talk politics and economics and one .marvels at the rapid strides China is making on the road of progress and ,ffiechaniza- tion. 1But from the deck of the steamer one sees thousands of old-fashioned junks, slowly moving 'up -stream hauled by naked men, who are tied to the rocks and whose sore feet leave a trail of blood behind. In the picture of modern China the poor devils are far more numerous, than the lucky devils, .but ' nobody speaks about it. China is wiser than our countries. Our people • suffer from the tyranny and incapacity of, governments and ruling' classes, they lament and protest. But a millen- nary experience of suffering has taught the Chinaman that protests are of no avail. There seems no initiative nor spirit of action left in the Chinese people. To act is the privilege of the young, and China is very old. So old, indeed, that one wonders whe- ther the builder of her new house will ever rise from among her own sons. A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE qANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA MUSCULAR ACTIVITY ' Life begins in one minute cell. This cell grows and multiplies until we have the millions of cells which make up each human body. In the process of growth and development, these cells .become differentiated one from the other, depending upon what function they assume. In the body we have nerve cells, muscle cells, connectlee tissue cells to name but a few. These cells make up, the various 'tissues and or- gans of the body. They all have a common -origin in one cell, and throughout life they remain interde- pendent. The only way to have health is to have a body which is strong and well in all its parts. Dis- ease or abnormal states in any one part affect the whole body. "Heelthy," "stecing" and "erierget- ie" are adjectiveg which we use to describe the Person Who has the abil- ity and power to do things. Such a person has started life with gond tissue cells and has, by proper liv- ing, developbd strength and energy —the hati'health.

There is another definite relation- ship between the vital organs and the large ,mluscles. Run or walk quickly, and you will find the rate of the heart has increased and that breathing is quickened. In other words, there is a close linking -up between ,museuier activity and or- ganic activity. This is a most important point to rememlber. It (means that through- out life we must ,maintain a proper level of muscular activity if we are to keep the vital organs functioning at their best. Children need play. They need to use their large me- dles. Youth requires physical activ- ity. The adult needd such physical activities as are suited to his age. The human body goes to pieces when it is not used.

And some men just grate upon you. Age No Objection' Is there an age limit to the achieve- ments of man? We hardly believe it. Men of all ages, frinnt fifteen up- ward to the eighties, have distin- guished themselves in all fields. It would, therefore, seem that neither great youth nor old age is likely to prove an impediment to real talent Victor Hugo was awarded academ- ic honors at the age of fifteen. Joan of Arc was seventeen years old when she liberated Rheims and crowned the king of France. Alexander the Great delivered the !battle of Cheer onea at the age of eighteen. At nineteen Franz ! Schubert composed some of his best songs and Paganini was only twenty-one When he held audiences spellbound with his magic violin.Otto Weininger was twenty-four when he wrote his fail -sous book "Sex and Character." Shortly after he committed suicide. Charles Lindbergh made his epic flight across the ocean at the same age. At the age of twenty-five Michael Angelo created his glorious "Pieta" which adorns St. Peter's in. Rome. Charles Diekens was twenty-five when he made us the gift of his "Pickwick Papers." At twenty-six Mozart wrote an op- era ad Philip Reis invented the tele- phone (1860). Vasco da Gama was thirty when he showed the world the ocean route to India. At the age of 'thirty-two Heinrich Hertz discovered the elec- tric waves and thus paved4the way for the sensational discoveries of the Curies. At thirty-four Luther had written his ninety-five 'theses, and 'Carl Maria von Wever had composed his famous operee"Freisehutz." Dante began to write, the "Divine Comedy" when he was thirty -five -- in the middle of man's life span, as he said himself. At thirty-five Tor- ricelli invented. the barometer, Raph- ael painted The Sistine Madonna and Napoleon proclaimed himself Emper- or of :France. Joh. Kepler discovered the laws of the planetary system at thirty-eight. Lessing wrote one of his best .plays at the same age. Forty is the age of wisdomi. Mo- hammed had the divine revelation pf the Koran at the age of forty and Magellan sailed around the world, for the first time in history. Prefessor Emil VoniBee-rin,g was forty when he inVersted blood -serum therapeutics. In the forty-five year class we find the composer Offenbach, creator of "Helen of Troy," and Dostoievsky, finishing his "Raskolnikoff." At forty -.six Leonardo da painted the "Last Supper" on the wall of the refectory of the convent Of Santa Maria delle Graze in Mil- an. Lafontaine's imrtnirbal fables were written when he was fey -eight, and Sir Walter Scott wrote "Ivanhoe" at the eamee age..

We all know what developed from his casual observations. After that the roll call becomes a little scanty, although Beethoven gave the World his Ninth Symphony et the age of -fifty-four, and Profes- sor Ehrlich discovered Salvarsan at the same age. In the fifty-seven year class only Immanuel Kant distin- guished himself 'by writing his "Crit- ique of Pure Resissm."

But he wa'4 hided a little too old. nflexibk Tyrant essislmeneesease At least one half Of the tales eir- ciliated abroad about the Russian dictator Stalin are the invention of Soviet representatives in the western capitals. 'This may -sound strange hut- it is comprehensible when we bear in mind that until recently the major- ity of Soviet diplomats abroad were ardent Trotzkyiets. Trotsky has nev- er' forgiven 'Stalin his defeat and humiliation, Beaten on his own ground, the only weapon that is left to him to -fight Stalin is his pen and this he wields -ver Y ably. But in the longrun wrath `and envy are bad weapons in the cal struggle. Sooner or latter, the truth imposes itself, A great "enany people, 'althoug4 they do not sympathize with bolsh- evik policies, view the situation nn - partially and are interested to know the truth about the Red Dictator. The usual replies to their questions are: Stalin is a coarse brute, a crude pol- itician. He persecutes the elite of the party and is supported by a clique of upstarts as cynical and ob- ecure as himself. Morally he is a monster and intellectually he • ie nothing. Yet it is important that the world should know 'Stolen as he really is, with his defects and qualities, nei- ther of which are email. For in the understanding of Stalin's character lies the clue to the understanding of the Russian situation and to its im- mediate possibilities. The men who rule Russia's destin- iee to -day are not pygmies. Whether we wish or not, we are compelled to admit that Stalin and his assistants are men of a caliber far superior to that of the old regime. The atten- tion of the world is focused on Stalin more than on any other political per- sonality of our time. For he is an outstanding personality, this son of a Tiflis cobbler who, almost over- night, became the undisputed ruler of more than one hundred and sixty million people, that is about one- sixth of the population of the 'earth. It is eloulStful whether there is in the world a' ruler stronger, more powerful and More influential than Stalin at the present time. IMillions of people worship him as the new Messiah, the prophet of the Golden Age. They are proud of him and rejoice in him and will follow him blindly always and everywhere. At the same time, other millions, in Russia and ,elsewhere, pronounce his name with scorn and hatred and look upon him as upon the cruellest ty- rant the world has ever -known. In Stalin's , immediate 'enteurage they do not like him and well 'he knows it. He rules by the fear he inspires and -solicits neither cordial- ity nor affection. They all tremble before him, for his glance has a freezing quality that is not without effect even upon the most audacious individual. • Years of privations and hardships have undermined 'Stalin's health, but not his working capacity. His an- cestors Jed the simple life of manual laborers, which is to say that Stalin's nerves are sound. His face is fur- rowed with wrinkles, an unmistak- able sign of his intense inner life which he, however, carefully dissimu- lates. In his face only' his eyes are alive; they are blue but when they are flashing angrily they darken to black. His moustache covers a firm and cruel mouth and his chin is carv- ed of stone. ,Stalin's simplicity in dress, bear- ing and way of life border S on pov- erty. He does not like publicity and prefers to keep in the shade as much as possible, a trait which he no doubt inherited from Lenin, who'had a horror of public exhibitioree. The Russian dictator is an unusual- ly silent man. Even at conferences and Cabinet meetings he rarely says a word until everyrbody else has ex- pressed his opinion. When he has listened to them all, he dictates his decision or in a slow and assured voice gives an order that may affect the destinies of ,mtillions of human beings. There was a time, however, when Stalin talked a good deal and even laughed heartily. That time has passed. His stereotyped smile is a mask. As 'soon as he is alone, it falls off and his face becomes grey and motionless like that of an an- cient stone carving. The life he leads in his little apart - •merit in the Kremlin is almost ascetic. He occupies two modestly furnished rooms, In one of which his eldest son from a first marriage used to sleep on a couch. Now the young man is a boarder at one of the colleges where he shares the life of the other un- dergraduates, that is, lives in great poverty. By understanding with his fetcher he does not avail himself of any of the privileges reserved to the children of the Soliet dignitaries. The other room, was occupied until recently by Stalin, his wife and their two little children. His wife has cued since: She was commonly known to everybody in the Kremlin as 'Nadia" and was a woman of excep- tional sWeetness af temper and char. aster. The only luxury that Stalin allows 'himself is an Occasional glass of wine—tfor like every true Oaneasian he loves Wine—and his pipe. Ho likes to sit smoking in his armchair for a quarter of an hour and this is his only, relaxation from work. At home he speaks even less than at his of- fice and his family is more taciturn than hinnself. His mtealso used to be brought up to him from the Kremlin restaurant reserved for the higher' dignitaries,'' but for some time past they have been specially prepared for hint at home, for fear of poison. For the same reason he never drinks import- ed wine. During his work he con- sumes enormous quantities of tea which his secretary prepares for him. As far as his revolutionary past is concerned, Stalin is irreproachable for no matter what we may think of his adeas and policiee, we must ad- mit that ,before the revolution his life had been one long, courageous and disinterested battle. Unlike many other famous bolshdviks, he refused to escape abroad for safety's sake. He knew hunger and thirst, •prisons, torture, corporal punishment, - exile and extrerile poverty. Hunted and persecuted, sometimes victorious and sometimes defeated, this man has had the hardest experiences a may •. could have: Although he has a family, Stalin, has never had any personal life. Not that he does not lave his family, on the contrary he loves themdearly 4n his own way, but family worries could never fill his life. More than ever Stalin gives the impression to- day of not having any private inter- ests, of being merely a Imachine cap- able of a remarkable output. As he trusts his own judgment blindly and ignores the torments of 'doubt; he has no pity on anything or anybody. His idea is that the great- er the, cause, the more victims and sacrifices it demands. To reach his goal he would not hesitate to saeri- fice the whole Russian people. 'Lenin was right when he said that in Stalin lived the soul of an oriental despot. iHe is the only man in Russia who knows his job thoroughly to the last detail. Possessed of an extraordin- ary lucidity Of mind, he is of course aware that fromt'he road he has chosenthere ean be no return. He is also aware that he must fall when his hour strikes, but in the Meantime: he functions like an axe that is cut- ting off the heads of the hydra of the • past, or better like a battering -rant •-pounding- against the door of the fus ture. Already a hole is made inthis door and Stalin 'S fate•depends upon the size to which it will grow and the rapidity of the process. One cannot help feeling that the country.needs him; less and less and that there' may soon be nothing to do for him. One thing is sure: the Russian people cannot continue for- ever to bear the yoketo which he has harnessed them. The present generation will surely get tired of sacrificing itself for the children and children's children. The clay will come when they will craim for themselves some of the good things of life that they help to build for coming .generations. 'Stalin, Man of Steel!

Back -to -Farm Movement The present increased employ- ment of men on farms is a definite step toward minimizing the unem- ployment situation, declared Dr. Christie, president of 0. A. C., in a recent address. He referred to the fact that more boys and eniore men as farm 'nesereagere on salaries had •been placed on farms this spring than in any like period for the past ten years, "These boys and men are being welcomed back to the farime and they are looking for- ward to a good home, healthy liv- ing, and a ,emlall but -eteady wage.
