Hearth Fire
Stories of Israel
('By Charles Malcolm)
(Continued from last week)
Chapter IV
A STORM BREWING
Farther and farther away Pram the
Garden of Delight—feather and far-
;thear away from God. 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.

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

"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.

ADULT DIET
Tt Is widely known that the diet of
growing children . znvwst contain cer-
tain food 'elements if the child is to
have a e'brlong, well -formed, body. 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

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,

to Dublin .exploded, hlowin,g the pump

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

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.
