Often on cluiet..r days I visited a Nether - tet and'en wibjo lived on the other side of ;J n terdem, in the village of Worm- •prvieer by the River Zaan. He was Myyaheer 'Mars, a schoolteacher. In this spare time he painted,' looking jolt like the typical artist of one's imagination in bis brown velvet jack- et and flowing neckerchief. His fav- orite subject was the broad level -landscape of the Netherlands v.ittli Mies on the horizon. He had reale himself a reputation • with his draw- • ings and paintings of windmills. His atelier, built by himself, was on a small, green island cut out by little irrigation canals. There he would sit and paint his beloved mills and there he taught me their secret. Before us stretched the green plain of the Netherlands, checkered with in- numerable squares and lined with the narrow canals. From their banks. each well clear of the next, rose the milts. I could fancy that they were giant studs fastening the picturesque image of this landscape to the blue sky. Sometimes their sails revolved slow- ly, then again so rapidly that it would Seem venturesome to go near' them. The sails •face in the same direc- tion; the millers see to that every day. for the cap which carries the sails can be turned about and is set according to the wind. Thus the mills stand in the Nether- lands landscape, taking their part like human beings in its everyday life, grinding corn into flour, pulping pa- per, ar sawing, wood, whichever may be their metier. The code of the mills has been handed down by the millers from generation to generation_ The sails of these mills could send mes- sages in oihde bun ds of years _be- fore telegraphy was invented; By the ,river iaatu, Where 'the paint- er Mars lfvied,= -the Netherlands be- comes the perfeet- rnilllaad. Here in times past were the home ports of merchant ships that sailed, the world's oceans. The needs of these busy lit- tle ittle mercantile towns and of the ships which rode at anchor before them gave work to the mills. Broad is • trhe stream of the Zaan. The old houses that look so plain from the -streets turn their opulent. curved, -wooden gables toward the riv- er. Here and there on them one may see a date 'harking back some hun- dreds of years. Yet these houses are all inhabited. Their occupants con- tinue the enterprises bequeathed them by their farmers and forefathers - merchants, seamen, or millers: In the Zaan district every mill has its recognized name nowadays just as it always has had. . There are "The Domicile," "'Rae Prince's Court," • `But - ober," "Young Princess," "The Honey Pot," and many names such as "Jos- iah Josiah the Hero," taken from the Bible. Sometimes the first owner has left his -tame to the mill. Our present highly technical age has, of course, narrowed the circle of the mill's activity just as it has of every other traditional handiwork. Mynheer Mars and I often discussed the future of the malls when I visited him in his studio among the many little canals. The mills belonged to the landscape around him: as mrreh as the trees and bushes did.

Every miller used • these. sheets', rolling up their,.eorners 'much or little, to make his own more or less secret code, which he used to communicate with his family or with his men. When, for some reason. the was de- tained at home, he needed' only to ,look out of . the;. window to know what news there was from the mill. And tt eventually the mill worker let the dre,wrope hang down from the plat- form beneath the circling arms, the driller knew 1ihat his mill was still grinding but that the'corn was com- ing to an end; he would have to look for more work. The ancient language of the mills on the '?lean is founded in this way on the needs of shrewd, hard-working business folk, but it can also be gay and cheerful, When the arms are ;hung with colored streamers and with wooden and cardboard figures of cup- ids and cherubim which swing in the air shining With gold paint or bright with color, you do not need to be adept the language of the mills to know th t here some joyful event has` happened -a birth or a marriage.

D. McLeod of -the Orops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Orin tario D.epartment``of Agriculture. "The creeping rootstalks of the Perennial1 Sow Thistle are tb their weakest stage right now," said Mr. McLeod. "Heat, sunlight and dry weather are our best partners." Mr. McLeod advises 4leep plowing immediately after harvest. The land should be allowed to dry thoroughly for two or three weeks without culti- vation. It is pointed out that surface soil is separated from subsoil; mois- ture is cut off and rootstalke are hol- low and milky and cannot stand 'beat and dryness. Follow later with the broad", shares on the cultivator to get any plants that remain. Shallow plowing, cultivating or deep discing vain kill young summer an- nuals and induce seeds bo germinate, states Mr. McLeod.

Well, we have fresh flowers on the tables in the dining rooms all the time and, contrary to .he tradition that no one is suppos- ed to touch such bouquets, we have them particularly areanged so that a men can always nits out a carnation or a cornflower or a button dahlia for h's buttonhole -without drawing any back looks from anyone.

Roadside Weeds MUNE Farmers and city dwellers alike will agree that country roads are the show windows of Onto largely responsible for advertising products of the soil. If roads are marred by aa unsightly growth of weeds, tourists get a bad impression and urban residents lose faith in rur- al Ontario as a producer of agricul- tural products second to none in the world. There are seven good reasons why roadside weeds should be wiped out of existepce. They are (1) 'infest ad- joining farm lands; (2) spread plant diseases; (3) are dangerous to traf- fic; (4) will .gather and hold snow; (5) clog ditches' on roadsides and thus hinder the flow of water and proper drainage of the road bed; (6) are dangerous from a fire standpoint; (7) are unsightly to residents and tour- ists alike. The Weed Control Act of Ontario states roadside weeds must be de- stroyed before seeds mature. The municipal' council, through its road authority, .is responsible for .seeing that this work is done. Proper grad- ing of roadsides and 'removal of stones, stumps and brush will' enable the road authority to do this work -quickly and efficiently. A thick seed- ing of a good•grass mixture will make a thick sod whioh prevents weeds from. obtaining- a 'foothold. Chemical weed killers have proved efficient and many mun1cipalitiesthave greatly improved county and town- ship roads in a weed clean-up via the chemical route. Maybeyour municipality has help- ed you out ie. this manner. If not, wthy not? Don't forget the municipality is re- sponsible for eradication of all nox- ious,weeds within its boundaries. Pio farms and are r Growing Pullets on Range The most satisfactory place to rear pullets is on range land, preferably at some distance from ea main poul- try plant. Gress or cloy r sod melee excellent range for hr c ``ckens, but if these are not available, an effort should be made to provide green feed by sowing annual crops such as oats. Chickens reared under good range conditions are usually more vigorous' and more profitable layers than those reared under crowded conditions where•trhe yards are bare most of the summer. At the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Fredericton, N. B., chicks are placed in portable brooder houses di- rect from the incubator. The chicks are given a yard as soon as weather permits in the spring, after' the hous- es have been moved to ground which was seeded "with clover the previous year. When the chicks are about 10 weeks of age, the pullets are given a large grass or clover range and re- main there until they show signs of coming into production, when they, are placed in laying houses. Range shelters provide ideal accom- modation for pullets or cockerels dur- ing the summer. A . shelter measur- ing 8 x 10 feet with an eighteen -inch post, constructed of 2 x 3 inch ma- terial and fitted with seven roosts will hold about 100 pullets. The sides "and ends of the shelter, should be cov- ered with one -inch mefh chicken wire to give protection from animals at night. Range shelters, feed hoppers, drinking troughs, etc., tithould beenov- ed several times during the summer to prevent excessive, contamination around them. It is also a wise pre- caution against bete spread of disease to set the feed hoppers and drinking troughs on wire screen raised a few inches off the ground. International Plowing Match on October 11 to 14 If interest displayed by farm ma- chinery firms is any criterion; the In- ternational Plowing Match to be held at Minesing, near Barrie, October lt, 12, 13 and 14, will undoubtedly be the most successful since this event was started in 1913. Requests for space have been pouring in to Secre- tary J. A. Carroll, Toronto, for some time, with the result there will be a truly "ten•ted city" eprixg into being at Minesing next month. The demand for space has increased to such an extent that this canvas "Main Street" will extend to nearly a mile, the long- est and best in the history of the match. Over 100,000 attended elle match last year at Fergus and: even larger crowds are expected at Mine - sing. While it is only natural that farm- ers will be particularly interested in the machinery exhibits, manufactur- ers have net forgotten the fact that these tillers of the soil will be ac- companied by their wives, and there will be a large display of home con- veniences particularly applicable to farm homes, and every one well worth seeing. The local committee in Simcoe County of which J. T. Simpson is sec- retary, has been working purposefully for months to -make this year's match the best of the long line of success- ful matohet. Over 1,000 acres. of land have been reserved far demonstra- tions, parking and the 600 or more contestants, who will vie with each other for the $5,000 in prizes offered by the Ontario Plowmen's Association. This generous prize list is again at- tracting the cream of Canadian plow- men which means that visitors will witness the best plowing in the wforld at the largest plowing match in the world. - Farmers should make a note of the dates, October` 11, 12, 13 and 14, and "How come you don't like the girls?"
