The people had foi+gotten about the Garden — and about God. And they were living to be such olds peb'ple! And the long- er they lived the worse they were! The people were 'beeomisrg so very bad .that God d'eci'ded to shorten. their life. They thought only of evil. Now, God had created man in Hit own image—but man was not much like God by this time, and God was very sorry than He had made m'an `at a11, . He was th;e only creation that was net goad, and God knew that He would be compelled to destroy man and, if mean. must be destroyed, then the things which were made for man might as well be destroyed, too. bSo 'God determined' to do that. But, there was one 'man who was not wicked as other men. He was a righteous man, and walked with God —a perfect man in his day. God -would net destroy this man, Noah, but would tell him all His plans—a great flood would come and destroy (everything except what was in a boat which Noah could build if he would. Noah was given instructions, and be set to work. Timbers were brought from the forests; hewers and carpenters were hired and the work was rushed along. People came ev- ery day to see the 'big boat being 'built so far from the water! It was a 'big boat! Wider than the street, as high as the church, and as long as a city black — and re) water in eight. The people wondered how Noah was going to get the boat to the water. They asked him! They iau•ghed! They laughed and laugh- ed! It was the biggest joke of the year! But Noah went on building the boat. Every day as the carpenters work- ed, Noah told [the people what was going to happen --abut they would not listen. Noah arranged for getting some of all the different kinds of animals to take into the 'boat with him --animals which 'the. people had never seen be- fore. Such funny looking things! And the people laughed some mare. One day the bloat was finished. The animals were driven into their plac- es. The carpenters were paid off. Then Noah told his family to get in- to the boat. Last of all, Noah went up the gang plank—and just before he pulled the gangway into the boat, he gave one more invitation to the people to come with him, for God had said that there would be a great -flood! But the sky was blue, the gentle summer breezes moved the leaves in the trees ever so little, turning them in the soft sunlight. Everything was perfectly lovely outside the Ark (as the big boat was called). So the people just laughed. Some of thein waved "Good-bye," and wished him a ,pleasant voyage—then turned away -with the crowd and laughed! Noah stepped inside the Ark, and .closed the door. That evening a wind sprang up. A stiff breeze drove some light clouds across the sky. Heavy dark clouds were seen on the horizon, A little sprinkle of rain began to fall. The people pulled their coats up around their shoulders and hurried home. • (Continued Next Week.) The Bees Need Help The honey -gathering season has • ended and the bees are now' prepar- ing, in so far as they possibly can, for the coming winter. They will, however, need some assistance in ca- rder to survive the long cold months that are ahead. During the summer months the bees worked feverishly to gather enough honey to sustain them through the following autumn, win- ter and spring. In most cases the amount stored far exceeded their're- quirements end the surplus has been taken from. them. Unfortunately, there is a [tendency on the part of many beekeepers to take from the bees an unfair proportion of their stores, thus placing them in danger oaf starvation before new supplies can be obtained the following year, To ' pack bees away for winter without an adequate food supply is to court disaster. It is far 'better to find liv- ing colonies with a surplus of food in the spring that it is to find colonies •dead or depleted through starvation. During the autumn months, the col- . onies are •producing a large force of young '.bees that must survive the winter and continue the activity of the colony next spring. For this pur- pose a large food supply is needed. Should the supply be insuffildent ' brood production is curtailed or stop- ped entirely, thus weakening the col- ' ony when strength is of extreme im- portance. After brood rearing nor- mally ceases the consumption of food is greatly reduced mut does not cease entirely. At the end of September, ., or early in -October, every colony should have at least forty pounds of well capped honey or sugar syrup for winter use. Any deficiency in this amount must be made up by giving combs of sealed honey or an equal amount of refined sugar made into syrup. Bees also require protection o You Remember (Continued from Page 2) "And what's that?" asked the merchant, "An auger that will bore a square h•ole." The first things tqo (grreelt pea -stone on entering the store were groceries to the 'left. with a prominent sign above the shelves with the wined wards, "Cosgrove's Pale Ale"; dry gaodls to the right with a head trim of emibreideries and laces, much in use in those bygone days. In the centre '6f the store was the cashier's desk and farther back to the left a larges spacious •private of- fice. Well towards the rear of the build- ing were steps leading to the 'base- ment which contained boots and shoes, crolc'kfeiry, tabioring and ready-made clothing. 'At the centre back a 'stairway went up to the millinery department. The office of the Dominion Tele- g•raph Company was in the store building, li'kewi'se the past office, while the town hall was in the sec- ond storey. In an adjoining one -storey build- ing, a large sign across the upper front announced' that in it were kept furniture and stoves. We might al- so add that he had an undertaking business. Two more stores were added' later, one of them containing a big stock of hardware. 114x.. Kidd Is credited with having 'had the name Carrionbrbok changed to Dublin, owing to the fact that maul matter !for (Cariiontbrrook /often got interchanged, causing certain annoy- ance and delay. The new name was ad.opte'd ort July 1, 1887, at which time the place with a population of 750 was made a police village, with J!bseph Kidd being elected one of three trustees, he being chosen by the other two to act as "inspeotling trustee." Besides the stores,, he became own- er of three saw mills, -also a stove and heading and cooperage factory, all operating at the same• time, one being in Goderich. Another venture was the tope'ratibn of salt works in the village, which began work in 1875. This undertaking is worthy of be- ing an article in itself for another time; suffice it to .say here that the pan for evaporation was the largest in Canada, and the consumption of wood for fuel was about 4,000 cords annually. He bought the International Salt W,r1,s, located at Godleri'.ch. about the year 1885. It was he, also, who was respon- sible for the big frame flour mull that was one of Dublin's active in•- dustri'es for some years. It was de- stroyed by fire and was not rebuilt. Agriculture and timber were other industries in which Mr. Kidd became deeply cohcerned. He not •only be- came owner of 'hundr+eds of acres of land in proxinvity to Dublin, but Nought timber lands in the region of the Georgian Bay, making, in all, about 3,000 acres. In the heyday of his career he as- sumed the responsibility of supplying the Grand Trunk Railway Company with timber to construct neva: arc•: cattle-guard:s along its line south- eastward from Goderich. He alsio provided timber for the constructio•n of the international bridge at Fort Erie. Mr. Kidd's residence in Dublin, his barns and stables, were considered to be unexcelled in extent, convenience ard beauty. within a radius of many miles. He was defeated once in running as a Conservative candidate to the House of Commons in 1875, for South Perth, although his influence and popularity gave hint Mare votes than was regarded the strength of the party. We have been bald that Mr. Kidd, after a strenuous day's work, liked to spend an hour or so with con- vivial friends. 'He frequently would go home about midnight, take what was called a rig,htcap, go to sleep 'on a sofa, and awaken about 4 o'clock, quite refresh- ed to begin the duties of the day. On many an occasion he is re - water] to have been at the .timber camp in Logan, north of Dublin, be- fore the lumberjacks were astir. One frosty winter's morning, long before daylight. he had one Of 'hie teamsters drive 'him on a tour of inspection. The sleigh had no box. The driver sat on the front bob. His 'boss, en- veloped in a huge buffalo coat, fur cap and gauntlets, s.at on the hind rne. A buffalo robe was tucked a- bout shim. 1Hle s,houtte'd to give the horses plenty- of rein and they were off at a lively pace which soon changed to a gallop. At rather a sharp curve, on leav- ing the matin road, the sleigh skid- ded, leaving Mr. Kidd in the cold, deep snow. The 'teamster, who enjoyed a prac- tical joke, finished thetrip without him. Returning later, he found his em- ployer standing in the centre of the road, voicing his thoughts at nothing in particular and to everything at large. The pitiable thing is that right in during the winter onths and as they are unable to provide this for them- selves it must be supplied by the bee- keeper. Protettion can be given by either packing the bees' in well insul- ated packing cases or moving the apiary into - a well constructed cellar or •dugout.

It is not so generally accepted that ithe diet of those who. have attained • adult years is also im'pertantt, We are largely creatures of habit. A suitable diet in childhood is not only of importance to the child, but out of the proper feeding of the child grows a habit which, oarraed lnto adult life, means a sensible selection of food at all ages, and thus, a real, comitribulti'an to adult health. The ill effe'cbs of a deficient diet are nob so readily seen in the adult as in the growing child. Neverthe- less,, it is equally true that a balanc- ed diet is essential to physical vigor at all ages, and that it does make a difference what kinds of food adults eat. About one pint of milk a day should be used, either as a beverage or in any other form. A simple way to increase the use of milk is to drink a glass of milk at lunch or at another meal. Milk is the most near- ly perfect food we have, as it con- tains many' of the food essentials and is valuable alt all ages. Meat. fish and egg's supply most of the proteins which adults require to repair the worn-out tissues of the body. The older we grow, the less protein we require. It is wise to re- duce gradually the intake of proteins which are expensive. foods and which when taken in excess of the body needs, must be excreted. If physical activity declines with age, as it usually does, it is Obvious that less of the floods which are the source 'IV energy are required. Some whole=grain cereal or bread, limited amounts of butter, cream and other fatty foods, with some of the natur- al sugars in the form of 'honey, mlo- l.asses or maple syrup, will meet the energy needs and' provide some min- erals and vitamin -s. In addition to potato, •'the diet should include, each day, one green leafy 'regeta'ble, such as cabbage or go, each day, some fresh or dried fruits or tomato, fresh or tinned. A variety of goods, which includes. the regular, daily use of vegetalbl•es and fruits, together with a pint of milk will meet the needs of the nor- mal adult. The amount of food re- quired depends upon physical activ- ity. Atlter forty, the food intake should be limited so as to keep the weight down to th•e average. Eating too much or too little, or failing to choose the right foods leads to poor health if nothing worse. Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by let - t( r. tSoillDrift Control While individual effort is usually very effective in controlling soil drift- ing, and every farmer should adopt the best known control measures on his own farm, the most successful re- sults will undoubtedly follow the adoption of community action. The importance of this community action will be readily understood from the fact that an area of unhindered, drifting soil usually -expands (very rapidly. Moving particles of soil are not always brought to rest by colli- sion with stationary soil particles, and in 'many cases the latter are taused to join in a general move- ment under the influence of high winds. The most carefully rplanned and executed control measures may- be entirely ruined if the soil has . to withstand the combined action of wind and drifting soil from adjoin- ing unprotected areas. These facts show the necessity for community ac- tion if a maximum degree of success in the control of soil drifting is to be obtained. While the control of drift- ing on any farm is primarily the concern of the individual farmer, his success may be aided .or hampered by the action of his immediate neigh- bors. Storing Farm Machinery Proper care should be exercised at all times to protect the large invest- ment in farm machinery from rapid deberiera'tion.v Heat, moisture, wind, frost and direct sunlight are the most destructive elements encountered by farm equipment. Storage means protection against these deteriorating effects during the inactive life of the machines and has the prime of life reverses began their unmerciful work. And they worked hard and fast. The Josephine Kidd, one of his bug boats, was destroyed by fire in the 'rnte'rs of Lake 'Huron. Another tug 'owned by him was wre'ck'ed in a 'storm. Immense log blo•ofs were scat- tered hither and yon, The engine that pumped brine through iron pipes about five miles to Dublin .exploded, hlowin,g the pump house to pieces and killing the en- gineer. His fine residence was destroyed by fire. In short he lost all his pro- perty and business enterprises of which he had been justly proud. The climax came one memorable day while he wept bitterly; but the spirit within him was masterful as tine following declaration would indi- cate: "I dbn'.t know why all this has be- fallen me but I'll win it all back yet I will." 4 If there were big roti beak in the eighvbles Joseph Kidd certainly was rams of them. been forbad to be the greatest aingl'e fadtlor hi tpxolonging the life of farm machinery. . The most active period of deter- ioratlon is during the soap of ma- chine us.e. It is' important, however, to protect maohiinery the year around` from the effects of weather. Gener- ous use of paint on all wood and mesh -- al parts, wherever the original has worn thin, and the removal to a dry steed of all slats, canvasses, knives, plough -shames, cultivator teeth. etc., immediately the machine is out of use; will help prolong the useful life of the implement. Pack all bearing with the correct grade of lubricant. Cloves all expos- ed metal parts worn bright from use with crankcase or treasmissiion oil before putting th'e maehi'n'e aside floe a few days. 'Phis will keep ,out all dirt and mo'is'ture from the 'bearings and off the wearing surfaces, thus preventing excessive wear due to rust. Clean all seed from drill boxes, make sure that all dirt is removed hem plough or one-way disk bottoms and that they are well greased be- fore leaving. ,A111 srtraw, grain or weeds should be tbor+oughly cleaned from binders, combines, .separators, cultivaboos, disks, etc., before greas- ing and painting for storage. Bright sunlight and moisture cause exposed wooden parts to warp and crack. paint applied early will pre- vent this destructi'o'n. Metal parts exposed, w -ill rust and wear; grease or paint will save these surfaces. Fall Planting of Perennials Generally speaking, fall is the ideal season for planting most perennial fiowerin.g plants. This is especially true from the standpoint of soil .con- ditions, as there is yet warmth en- ough to promote healthy root action and the moisture content is not high enough to make the soil pack .too hard when walked on. Many people consider spring is the only season in which planting can be successfully done, with the results that they find such a pressure of general work at that season that all intentions for new plantings have to be omitted. -With the exception of tender'varie- ties, all spring flowering perennials should be planted in the fall. If they are planted in the spring, flowering is often delayed for a full year. As perennials occupy the same ground for a number of years, it would be well to reme•m'ber that the time and labor spent in thoroughly preparing the ground before planting time will be the best possible assurance of suc- cess. Perennials have to withstand extreme heat in summer and the op- posite extreme in winter; thetrefora, deep rooting should be eneolireged This may be accomplished: 'bY deigklin0 the. soil to a depth of eighteen Ma- es, and enriehen'ing the subsoil either with peat or barnyard manure. Those -who have etudaed' old world methods of gardening will probably have noted tat deep preparation of the soil is a cultural .praetice used even with many annual crops, and it seems to provide re§ults offered, by no other method. Diggtirigs to •a depth of 18 inches is a laborious pro- cess, however, and will probably be avoided by many. The necessity for humus is emphatic, and it can best be added before planting in the form of well -ratted barnyard manure. When manure is not available, peat is an excellent substitute, 'but will be rather expensive where a large border is planned. Color schemes are sometimes sde- sired but this nesessitabes extensive knowledge of plants, and the begin- ner will probably derive more satis- faction from a border of ye ixed plant with various flowering seasons. For. beat effects varieties should be plant- ed in clumps of three- or more and straight lines or gradated heights a- voided as much as possible. While the tallest plants should be toward the back of the border, an occasional clump of the taller ones may be in- terplanted among the lower -growing varieties to relieve the monotony of a too even view. A number of the spring flowering plants bloom early, and for this reason they may be planted almost anyplace in the border as their period of blooming is over before the taller growing varieties have attained enough height to hide then. Among the early varieties that may be used for this purpose may be mentioned Goldentuft, Wall - cress, Perennial 'Candytuft, Blood- root, andq Leopardbane. This list is by no means complete and the above varieties are only a few of the real •early -flowering sorts. Plautin:g should be done carefully, as slipshod work may mean the lass of the plants. All plants should be well firmed, because this eliminates the risk of drying winds reaching the roots. The soil is sonvetimes rather dry at this time of year, and such being the case all plants should be watered immediately after planting and a mulch applied to prevent ev- aporatign of moisture. Besides con- serving moisture, a mulch will pre- vent heaving of plants during seasons of alternate freezing and thawing weather. For this reason a mulch is recommended whether the soil is wet or dry. A complete list of perennials re- commended for fall planting will be supplied upon request by the Domin- ion Experlimental Station, Hariraw, Ontario.
