The deceased lady who was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrse John 'Lanxon, 0'f the Huron road and later of .Clinton, was born in England but came to Canada with her parents as a clhvld. For about 30 years she had been residing in Detroit. Her relatives' here were shocked by news of her death as they thought she was recovering. Death was due to an abscess at the base . of the brain.

He was then told that he was a government official who had been rent up to collect a tax—it must have been an income tax—and showed a list of the moven on -whom he' was to call. The lax was not a heavy one and Mr. Rattenibury said he would pay the whole shot, about $60, Mag- istrate Andrews thought, it was, and depend upon the settlers to refund to hint.

A HEALTH, SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA ., THE OSTRICH According to ' popular belief, the ostrich, in the presence e of danger, hides his head in the sand. He acts as if he could avoid danger by fail - 'ng bo *e it. •A•s we are net fam- iliar with the ostrich, we are unable to discuss his habits. 'We refer to his 'head -hiding :proclivities because we wish to point out that there are, in the human family, a, larger number who display this ostrich -like attitude of Tee -using to look at conditions as they exist. It is surprising how many people there are who, although they feel that there is 'something wrong with them, refuse to go to their doctor for fear he will tell them' that •they'have the very disease which they particularly dread. They seem to 'believe that as long as they have not lbeen told the truth, they can retain some. :hope'that the danger will somehow pass them by. In other words, they try to es-, cape' the danger of disease by refus- ing to see it or to be infoniped of its pretence. Such an attitude is to be condemn- ed. It leads to much unnecessary worry 'because, in mama cases, there is no 'basis for the fear, and finally when, as the result of a m'edic'al ex- amination, this is known,. a load of worry is lifti•d 'whhich might have been got rid M long before. The most serious and unfortunate result, however, is that this refusal to learn the truth may allow disease to. progress to such a point that it is difficult or impossible to cure. It is during the early stages • of . disease that proper treatment has the most to offer in the way of cure or in the prevention of more serious develop- ments. No one wishes to have cancer, tub- erculosis or ,any other disease. But if a person has unfortunately fallen 'avictim to disease, the sooner he is aware of the fact and the sooner he secures -ndequate treatment, the bet- ter it is for him. We cannot avoid the unpleasant thing, of life by act- ing as -if they did not exist. We can- not banish disease 'by: ignoring its presence. We progress becaias'e we are intel- ligent. . We succeed in our war on - disease by We, .our intelligence which allows us.'toeonsid'er the facts and to act acco'Pdingly. • When our actions are likeethas'e of an ostrich. we simply descend to the animal lev- el and fail to usle our intelligence to guide us. 411 134 b . 11P l one estitaated tha'• t'he flee f1 r 40:- .000 *lee 1>uald bone,, or marlue PAW tete die the fiend, The 1oa+ds Honey saes fullof nectar aald its' hturlen, (back to the hive.

Bees Need Water That bees require water far' the 'earing of brood is a well establish- ed fact .and has been known, but 00 often neglected, since the time of Aristotle, perhaps' elven earlier han that. During the spring and erly surn'm'e'r when there is lithe or no nectar to be gathered (bees will he seen collecting, water from the. belting ' snow or from any other :tierce available, .often flying long istances to obtain it, and many d'y- ng in the effort. All apiary man- pulations during the early part of he • season ate for the pura,se 'of onserving the' energy of the bees and to stimulate brood production. Any unnecessary effort on the part f the bees is a loss to the beckeep- r. An adequate supply of pure wa- er, easily 'accessible to the bees is s essential as food and protection at this trove of the. year. An article appearing in a recent bee journal +uotee two experiments showing that n one case, 20 colonies of bees took ip 132 pounds of water during a period of four weeks, while another ,;roup of 12 colonies took up 112.6 rounds. This does not take intq ac - aunt •the amount obtained frown ources other than those measured.

The water supply should rte placed in a warm sheltered spot within the apiary and kept filled with water until after the main honey flow has started. Honey—The Original Sweet IFroml the beginning of time man's most important tooth seems to have been his sweet tooth, not his wisdom tooth. He cuts it soon after birth and it remains ,with him to the grave. Honey is the delicacy; which first; satisfied the human craving for sweet. It has since been used by all peoples as a„ staple article of food. In ancient Egypt and Africa honey was 'considered so important a food that it was offered to the gods in re- li'gi'ous ceremonies and bees were re- garded as sacred. The chief attrac- tion of the Promised Land to the Is• ra'elites lay in the fact that it was a land "flowing with milk and honey." :Ancient Babylon claim's the origin- ation of the "honeymoon." When a new sun-dried brick home was built to receive a bride and groom the ba'icks osier the door were Smleared with honey. For twenty-eiight days after the marriage this sweet aroma clung to the house 'an'd from' it the man and wife were expected to ac- quire a sweetness which would tem- per the remainder of their married days. ,Honey in 'olden' clays was served with locusts, with oatmeal, and with spring miens. The ancient counter - .pant of the "apple a day" adage was that he who ate homey and spring on- ions before ibreakfas't need never worry about his health. Meats were baked with honey, breads made with it; wines fiftvo'ted with it fruits sweetened with it.

'1 THE HURON EXPOSITOR • Read and Advertised in' by Seaforth's Local People and Merchants ed from the maritime prdv'inces where seasonal changes seem less variable than in other districts. The average sugar content for the juice for the last five years has been 17.4 per cent. with a, minimum of 13.:1 to a maximum of 20.3 per cent. In those districts, where conditions are consistently favourable and a i g tr content of" 17 to 20 per cent. can be maintained with a purity of 80 or more and'yields of 10 tons per fere obtained, sugar beet culture rom an -agricultural standpoint''m'ay be said to be a profitable u'ndertak- ing. There are, however; many other factors to he considered before reach- ing a decision as to the advisability of establishing the beet sugar indus- try in any district. A good yield of high quality 'beets is only one of many that make for suc,ccss or fail- ure in this enterprise. , Owing to the comparative new- ness of the industry only about 43- 000. acre's are sown... yearly with 30,041.0 in Ontario and 13,000 in Al- berta. These areas produce approx- imately 11.0 per cent. of the total sugar consumed in Canada yearly and • epresents a return of about three million dollars to the grow- ers.

Division of 'Chemistry, Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa, during the past twenty-five years, frons' twenty- four districts situated in all of the nine provinces a good idea of where in Canada sugar beets can he suc- cessfully grown has been obtained.

The pro- duction of fine -rooted crops such as cereals and hay are especially well adapted to clay soils. When to Apply Fertilizer The opportune time at which fer- tilizer applications should be made ti ill 'be determined to some extent by the nature of the crop of, the clim- ate and of the fertilizer materials employed. Speaking generally,. most of the phosphatic and• potassic fert- ilizer: should be applied during the final cultivation of the land prepara- tory to seeding. The nitrogenous fer- tilizer may be applied' at the same time, or when seeding; though some prefer to reserve a portion (assum- ing it to be in immediately available form) for application as a top -dress- ing later on. Phosphatic fertilizers, intended for fall wheat. should be ap- plied in the fall but solulble nitrogen- ous fertilizers, like nitrate of soda, should ibe applied to the wheat in the Management Of Clay Soils The management, ploughing, drain- ing. fertilising and ether tillage op- : ration' for clay soils is fully dealt •.vith" n n bulletin on crap rntatiet::; in Eaarrn Canada issued by the Po - minion i)epart.i ent of Agricuitu e, (iit,;Wa.

Clay soils owe their special char- acteristics largetly to their fine tex- ture. Their large water -holding ta- pacityl and poor under -drainage is the immediate result of this texture. As a secondary result, they are li- able to he slow in warming up in he spring and seeding May conse- ',uently he delayed. The activity of bacteria which prepare the nitrogen of the soil for the use of t,he pbu.t.s may he retarded also because of the lack of air and the prevailing low temperature. For general farming, therefore, everyt'hin'g possible must he, done to secure good surface drain- age when the expense of tile drain- age is unwarranted. (lay soils hake easily and readily form clods, making cultivation difficult even under good ,methods of management. Lack of organic matter in'creas'es the tem4- ency to become cloddy. Ploughing and other tillage opera- tions roust •ire conducted when the soil has the proper content of mois- ture„ that is, when it is dry enough not to puddle when worked.

Immediately after their ap- plication to the thoroughly prepared land, the fertilizers should be incor- porated with the surface soil by means of harrowing or light cultivat- ing. In the.. treatment of pasture and hay lands, the phosphatic and potas- sic fertilizers may be sown . before spring growth followed by one. or more dressings of a nitrogenous fert- ilizer during the early' part of the growing season. Basic slag, when usedefor this purpose, should prefer- ably be applied in -the fall. Ili seems desirable to emphasize the fact that fertilizers cannot fully play their part in crop nutrition un- less the soil is in good tilth. It should. be mellow, nvarm, moist and well aer- ated, and these favourable conditions will, be promoted by furnishing hum- us -forming material (as in barnyard manure), drainage„if ,n'e'cessai' , and a thorough frequent working of the surface soil. The mechanical -condi- tion or "drilla'bility" of fertilizer ma- terials and fertilizer mixtures is an important property towards their un- iform dis'trihution.
