A Bad Accident An accident occurred on Friday on No. 4 Highway near Arva, which might easily have had more serious consequences, when a heavy truck of the Canada 'Packers, Ltd., with a load of eggs and butter, got out of control through locking of the steering gear and took to the ditch. It made two complete somersaults and scattered the, cargo, which was a total loss. The driver, N. O'Brien, escaped with only minor injuries but Charles Shan- ahan, who was along with him, sus- tained a severe. scalp wound, deep lacerations of the flesh of the left leg and many smaller cuts from broken glass, and a badly bruised body. The truck was also almost a total wreck.—Clinton News -Record.

Colgate in the Mail and Empire) • "What am 1 offered for this fine set of Mason china—(hardly ever 'w- ed? What am 'I offeared now?" And as the beguiling voice of the auction- eer dies away, his, questioning glance looks into the faces and over the heads of the curious and intent group of habitues 'brought together by a common impulse and the lure of the unexpected bargain, "Who will give nee a bid to start the sale?” 'His tone is urgent. "Will somebody bid twen- ty-five dollars?" •Silence. "Twenty.' A pause. "Eighteen. . . fifteen twelve. . . . ten. ?" "Ten!" says some one. "All right, we'll start it at ten then"; and away it goes. Finally the bidding comes to a stop, and, since no , amount of pleading or persuasion on the part of the auctioneer can coax it on another dime, the gavel falls to mark "the third and last timle." The •lot falls to a woman in the group, a •dealer, who doubtless already has in her min'd's eye a prospective custom- er at a good price. Big Prizes Drawn. !Occasionally one shears of big priz- es -drawn from the lottery of the aue- tion room. Only last Spring, when the estate of an old English family was wound up and the effects sold by auction in Toronto, several early family portraits were put up. Of the lot none brought more than twenty- eight dollars, frame and all. In the group there were said to be a BeRchey and two or three Raelburns. .One of the alleged Raelburns was afterwards examined by a London authority on eighteenth ' century paintings who pronounced it genuine and of eery geed quality. Thus for an expendi- ture in this instance of fifteen dol- lai^s plus the cost of cleaning, the buyer had a canvas which was worth, let us say, anywhere from $5,000 to $1:0;000, depending upon the. state of the markzt. Naturally, such plums are rare; but the fact that they do occur lends to certain sales the keen excitement of a horse' race. • I once heard of a dealer in an antique shop in St. John's Wood, London, who disposed of an ancient Chinese jade toad for three poends. The orna- ment, an exceedingly scarce one, of which there were but one or two of the kind known to exist, was after- wards bought by the British Museum for £3,QQ9•. The sale of course had nothing to do with an auction; but it might well_ have had. Just as an illustration: Box of Trinkets. At an auction held in the city some months ago, among some odds and ends of household gear was a rather attractive though •unperetentiou.s jewel box which contained several trinkets, including a woman's ring set with a white stone which later the auc- tioneer's assistant jocularly pro- claimed to be a diamond. In• reality it was though he did net know it at the time. IIm spite of some rather good-natured chaffing, the box and its contents were bid in by an astute buyer willing to take a chance, at ten dollars. His faith• was justified. He later sold the box to a local jewelry firm' for $30, while their, valuation of the ring, which .be de- cided to keep, was $250. If there is a moral to this story it is •that auc- tioneers themselves are som,etirres de- ceived as to the value of the goods they.,sell. At another time I saw a fine old Eniglislh lacquered grand- father"'s clock, bearing the maker's name, sold for $40; a Louis XVI cls k inlaid with brass, for $21; and a •beautiful Queen Anne china cab- inet, inlaid with marquetry, for $18. Since these pieces were bought by dealers, it is evident that they 'were worth much more than the prices paid for then All the good for- tune extant is not shared by dealers, however. A friend of mine was able to bid in three pieces of old Georgian silver—a sugar m,uflipeer, 1817; a honey jar, 1796; and a pepper shaker 1782, of beautiful design and work- mlanslrip, for 823.50. One piece of the lot was afterwards valued by an authority at $60, so that he did not do iso badly. One Other Minor Tragedy. 'At times the careful buyer may pick up quite good paintings and sketches as well as oth;r unconsider- ed trifles for, very nominal sums. Neverthelees, it is not well to buy everything which appeals, however desirable it may seem or however deep one's purse, else there is the risk of turning one's home into a mps•eurm or junk shop. The acquisi- tive itch more often has to be sub- dued than encouraged. Still, it would have to be a hard-hearted buyer who could resist the temptation to acquire sik mahogany Chippendale chairs, which were knocked down at $52, merely the price of one good chair. Modern reproductions though they were, they were yet so faithful in line and form and delicacy of vary- ing as to recall the originals of the master cabinet nmaken+. Ordinarily they could not be bought, I suppose, for less than $240. And they were worth every cent of it, for they were in excellent condition. One of the minor tragedies of the depression, perhaps.

THE HURON EXPOSITOR PLACES YOUR; MESSAGE,, BEFORE THE MOST PEOPLE ' FOR THE LEAST MONEY E HURON ExposITOR McLean Bros., Publishers Seaforth - Ontario current of tragedy seems to run through the auction room. You do not see it, you sense it. Of homes broken up, of death' and 'desolation, of sudden descent from riches to poverty, of 'hasty removals as fate or fortune intervene, of goods left in storage and forgotten by their own- ers, of families dissolved and the ties of many years unbroken. Mute, Inglorious' Annals. The mute, inglorious annals of many families and their descendants are revealed by the tell-tale contents of the auction room as customers with greedy or appr$ping eye strive to separate the,wheat from the chaff, the wanted from the unwanted, the useful from the useless. But such speculation is'likeiy to lead to a dead end. More cheerful and pertinent is it to enquire how many families are being rehabilitated wiroh slender outlay through the ministering ag- ency of the auction room; how many couples are starting life with good thing, that ordinarily would he be- yond their reach. How many har- ried housewives who knew all there is to know about elastic currency are able to buy a long -needed chair, or rug, cir lahor-lightening gas stove. Who can tell? Like money, the auc- tion room is a circulating medium. The things that come from homes go hack to homes; and thus the cycle of their lives is complete and their use- fulness indefinitely prolonged. But the warning tap of the auction'eer's gavel.breaks upon our meditations. "How much am I offered for this fine brussels carpet?" And the cycle of his new day begins again. Canadian Carnivorous Plants There are three native carnivor- ous, or flesh -eating wild plants in Canada. While the great majority of plants obtain the nitrogen neces- sary for their growth and develop- ment from the nitrates in the soil, the three Canadian species of which the Pitcher Plant, the Sundew, and the butterwort and Bladderwort are representatives, resemble animals from the fact that they use the bod- ies of Insects and small animals for this purpose. Although these plants possess chlovophytl--4•he green color- ing substance of plants which is es- sential to growth—and can live for a• time at least, without organic food, it has been shown by experrnient that some of therm thrive better and increase more rapidly in weight when supplied with small pieces of animal flesh. The leaves of the Sundew are covered with tentacles which secrete a sticky fluid in which insects are firmly held and die. The tentacles also secrete a substanre like pepsin which digests the hely; of the inse 't, the digested products being gradual- ly abSorhed by the leaf. The process of digestion of the Butterwort is sim- ilar. The Pitcher plant• collects rain in which insects aro eventually drown- ed, being prevented from crawling out by the smooth surface of the tub- ular leaf and the downward pointing palisade of bristles which bars exit. The bladders on the leaves of the Bladderworts, which are mostly wa- ter (plants, are provided with a valve opening inwards and forming a sort of trap-door, fringed with bris- tles. So sensitive are relapse bristles that a sudden touch cauNs the blad- der to expand violently, thereiby suck- ing in- small ,aquatic animals, such as crustaceans, which are unable is es- cape. They eventually die- and,•••,•are completely absorbed by the plant. Selecting The Laying Stock It is advisable to start selecting the laying stock just as soon as pos- sible after the pullets are furry fea- thered out. First of all, select all pullets from your laestt i ratings. That is, the pullets selected for laying stock should befrom clams that have laid at least 175 eggs averaging 24 °uncles per dozen and better still, from dams hating 200 eggs to their 'credit sired by a cockerel whose dam has laid 200 eggs per year with an average of 24 ounces per dozen. 'W'hen you have selected all 'the pullets from your best layers and put them on a separate range, they should be gone over: two or three tidies again before they are placed in their winter quarters. There are three ty-p?s, of pullets us- ually found in the flock. The first is the clean-cut., deep-hodied, closely - feather -ed, angular bird that is al- ways alert. The second is the round- hodied, lease -feathered. sluggish• bird that fattens readily and very seldom probes to he a profitable egg pro- ducer, 'Then one will -generally find a few that are perhaps a combina- tion of the two types just mention- ed. Pt is well, then, to select the lay- ers from the first, type or group, put them on a range by themselves and perhaps go over them once or twice again before they are put NO their winter quarters. It isextremely ad- visable in the interest of economic production to satisfy 4 -ourself that you are not retaining in the laying flock pullets that do not conform fairly closely to the first type prev- iously described. 1:xperienen has taught us that the individual that con+fornts to the egg producing type is one with a deep body, as measured from the front of the 1,reast-hone to the centre of the hack; a deep graduallly tapering flat side, wedge shape; a long, straight back carrying its width well out to the base of the tail. The keel or hrcast hone should bo large and parallel with the hack. A ,good frill breast, • and plenty of width at the pelvis are desirable. Po not nvemlook the. head as it is an excellent index of quality. The head should be clean-cut, medium in length, creep, wide and more or less flat, the width increasing pniformly from 'beak to a point directly behind this eye. The eye should be large, hrieat and pro!minrmt. A smooth, clear. lean skin over the face is de- sirable. The natter of selection is 'made easier when the birds" are of uniform size. Therefore, it is good practice to try to have all hatches come off within as short a periods as possible. At the Experimental Farm, Nappan, it has been found that from April let to 15th makes a very suitable per- iod. Use only good sires, preferably pedigree birds and select carefully the laying stock and you will find that the poultry flock is one of your most profitable sources of farm rev - Ham and Bacon Exports to G.

Complete sta- tistics on the number of `feed+cr cattle now available, present weight, num- her and approximate date when cattle are finished, method of marketing to' he followed (drover, Stockyard, direct export•, etc.) and a comparison with the situation a year ago have been gathered.
