Unusual Vegetables, , The chief comiplaint the ra ierage Old Countryman voices in regard to Canadian vegetable gardens is the lack of variety. In Great Britain and Continental Europe generally this kind of a garden. is an almost con- tinuous ontinuous source of supply the year ' round.,Of dowse with Canada's rig- orous cimate such a thing is hardly possible but as a rule the average gardener does not produce anything like the variety that is possible. Veg- etable experts point out that there is , no excuse for running out of lettuce early in the •sammerr, 'dor , eicamlple, when after the season for the leaf variety,head lettuce could• be grown and then during the hot weather the Cos type. The latter is a compact, conical shaped type which defies the heat. •Like the head variety it should be started fairly early probably a week or two after the first leaf let- tuce is sown For the "greens" en- thusiast a few plants of Swiss Chard will provide an abundance of meals. It is worth investigating as is also Broad Beans, which Dome along a- bout mid-surmuner and later, Brocol•li, a sort of refined cauliflower, Koli %ts. ;1;1 \r-;-'=2 _r!1 flce 1t(l;' Raba, a refined turnip and redr' cajb- bage and yellow tomatoes will lend interest to the aegular types and provide a slightly event flawvbx In many plates egg !Plants and .peppers can be grown and will be appreciated. They must be 'started early indoors. The ' red type of tihe latter can ;e be used as a piemento filling for sand- wiches. Ln the melon family, will •be mealkzneloris and 'wlatenmebons, ...eer- tainn varieties of which can be pro - (aced in a surprisingly wide area of Canada, there is also the little indi- vidual Acorn. or 'lralble Queen squash which is a big improvement over its rather watery ancestors. Leeks add variety to the onion family and ten- der white radish lengthens the sea- sons for this vegetable. In the regu- lar egilar lines the season can be greatly extended by using very early as well as very late types. In garden peas for example, the time of maturity will vary from about 5.0 days to 7i5. Instead of ,planting only one variety it is advisable to include at least three. Early sowing is essential but in certain parts of the country a fall crop with a quick growing variety is also possible. In corn, the very early 'Bantam• types mature weeks ahead of the regular season and some of , the late both white and yellow kinds are on until frost ar even af- ter. Perennial Flowers °saner or later the average garden- er will come to the question of per- ennial flowers. Even with a very small space at his pr her disposal there' is a big advantage in having something of a more or less perman- ent character. With perennials there is something to build the rest bf the gardenaroun•d and there are less like- ly to be long "blank periods when there is no bloom available. After a few years general advice will not be needed because the gardener' will gq ' on extending here and there, spec- ializing to some extent in favorites, just as the same person will do in building up a• private colecti•on of books. About a dozen different var- ieties will make a fair' foundation and in the following list it should be remembered that there ,are literally scores of colors, and types for each: Height Blooms Delphinium 4-6' July Phlox 2-4' August Hioliyhlocks 5-8' July -Aug.

Before the war, there was a great dell of hypocrisy which was (destroy- ed by the Stern. realities of a life and death struggle. Tt was not until the vital importance of man power came `bo be understood that the public be- came informed as to one grerup of dis- eases which, for genre atiojns, had been sapping the .life blood of the na- ttiope • 11h4r history of the world night be • written around the diseases which have afflicted mankind. Early in the Old Testament, we read that one of the venereal diseases had made its ap- pearance. Since that time, history re- cords many references to the efforts made to central sytpiiilis and gonor- rhoea. As we have said, the history of mankind and the history of disease go hand in hand. Smallpox was un- known in North America until it was introduced by the early settlers. It is estimated that fully one -'half Of the North Amerilcan Indians perished from this disease introduced by the white man. 'Such (being the case, it seems but justice, if it be true, as most observ- ers believe, that syphilis was brought back to Europe by the earliest dis- coverers. True it is that it did then appear in a most severe and destruc- tive farm, as if it were a new disease attacking for the first time. What the Great War accomplished in this direction was to allow us to view the two venereal diseases which are major enemies, and, instead of adopting an ostrich like attitude, see them far what they are. We cannot get anywhere in fighting disease un- less we Brow the strength and weak- ness of our enemies. The strength Of venereal disease has been that the .public fwere left un- informed as if there. were something to be ashamed of, something not to be mentioned in polite erociety. Its weakness is that proper treatment is effective. The earlier proper treat- ment gets under way, ,the sooner will results be obtained. Some 'progress has been made, and progress will be accelerated in proportion' to the frank- ness with which the situation is fac- ed. Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- 'sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will the answered pdrsonally by let- ter. i>a HEADACHES Pain means that some injury is be- ing done the body. The body may suffer from certarr) forms of injury without experiencing pain. The sev- erity of the pain may have no rela- tionship to the severity of the injury. For all practical purposes, we may take it as a safe guide that pain is a reliable sign of dsnger in that it in- dicates harm or injury to the body. 'One form of pain with which most people are familiar is headache. Il?leadeehes,, like other pains, mean that something is wrong inside the body. There are many varieties of headache described as sharp or dull. frontal or occipital (front or back of head), morning or crten'ing. 'Headache is the most common symptom which we experience.

Your system is thus kept clear of those impurities which, allowed to accumu- late, lower the whole tone of the sys- tem: is practically no illness which may net give rise to 'headache. It is of- ten the first evidence of the onset of disease. Even more .often it is the rersnult of indiscretions in eating or drinking, Mack, of exerdise, constipa- tion, or neglect of some other health need of the body. If 'e headache is 'severe or annoy-. big, it is .quite natural that relief should ibe sought In many ways, the public are informed as to how relief from pain miry be secured by the use of this or that drug. Drugs, however, are of value" only when ipro- perly used, that is, when .prescribed by sommdane who knows the condition of the patient anal the action of the drugs. The. victim of headache who knows that his headache has resulted from obviorus causes from predates experi- ence has no reason to seek medical aid. 'If it is exercise or fresh air he needs, then he knows where to get these; he cart look after his diet and elimination if they are at fault. There is another group of persons who, in spite of taking reasonable care of their bodies, suffer from per- sistent, severe or reputed headaches. Such a person is very foolish to re- ly upon self-medication. These forms of headache are sd often a symptom of abnormal states inside the body that he should seek the cause rather than merely treat the headache. One of the most ecrnmion cause of headache is eye -hi -lain, which can be relieved by Properly -fitted glasses and in no. other way. It is obvious that if a particular headache is a symp- tom of anaemia .or nephritis, or if it is due to emotional causes, if the treatment is to be successful it must be directed towards the responsible cause. Do not overlook the possible ser- iousness of headache. Attend to it promptly and prroperly, and save yourr- self trouble. /9 5 "TH''' CAR THAT HAS EVERYTHI\G" A 90 HORSEPOWER SEX ...A 100 HORSEPOWER STRAIGHT EIGHT FOR 1935, Oldsmobile offers a low-priced, 90 -horsepower Six, and a 100 -horsepower Straight Eight... more beautiful than any pre- vious models ... more brilliant in performance ... more lavish in improvements.

'Many contest pens are pro- ducing eggs this season weighing 26 onrnnees per doyen,. Getting Ready For the Lambing Season Lambing is the shepherd's berevrelst, and it is also his most exciting time. Everything must, therefore, be in readiness for the coming Of the new creep. ' Ewes heavy in lamb require more pen and feeding space, if laver-Crowd- ingand losses are to be avoided. Two feerb of feeding space is the minimum required. Large flocks should ibe divided by putting the ewes expppected to lamlb firet in the warmest and most com- flontaJble pen. Vee the floor level, dry, clean and w bedded. If passible provide equipment for making individual lambing pees. Folding hurdles are very handy for that purpose. The ewe is much quieter if kept alone. Pruning Should Be Done During the Dormant Season Pruning, , as practised rby the com- mercial fruit grower, should have two essential objects: first, to train the shape or growth of the tree in a (specific way, and second, to influence the production and quality of the fruit.

To Make spray Cheaper and more effective the trees should first be well pruned and, if bbd, should have the rough bark scraped doff the main branches annd'trunk with a hoe. In most cases the (best spray to use is a 4 per cent. lubricating oil emul- sion. This may be used alone, but it is usually wiser to combine it with a3.6.40 Bordeaux mi'x'ture. The meth- od of making both the emulsion and the Bordeaux is given on the spray calendars. If fuller directionis are de - eared, write to tihe Department of Entomology, O.A.C., Guelph. jComvmerreial lime sulphur at the Strength of 1 gallian to 7 of water, may be substituted, for the oil and Bordeaux, but is more costly, un- pleasant to u'se and requires More care to' give as good results. San Jose' scale attacks all fruit trees except sour cherries and. Kief- fer pears. It also attacks currant bushes. Peach trees and pears should be sprayed just as soon now as passible.
