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

ittle mercantile towns and of the ships
which rode at anchor before them
gave work to the mills.

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.

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.

Woman Buys $7,000,000
Hotel, Runs It Herself
When.tidi'ngs appeared among busi-
ness news that a. Mrs. Kramer had
purohased a $7,000,000 hotel in New
York and proposed to run it 'herself,
a lot of eyebrows flew upward. Wlhat
would women think of next!
But you cannot hrs eaMrs. Kramer
by' rneteioning the thought that the
hotel business is supposed tei be a
orale business. She has nice, quiz-
zical eyes, and she looks at you, and
says: "So I've theard. That seems
strange to me, I'd say it was an oc-
cupation peculiarly and particularly
adapted to the talents of women."
She doesn't add anything self-asser-
tive ahout, whether it's supposed to
.be a man's business or not; she, at
least, is going to run her recent pur-
chase herself.
Ask 'her how it feels to own a ho-
tel that is 28 stories high and has
1,400 rooms and for which she ,has
just paid .$3,000,000 in cash, above a
mortgage of $4,062,500 and she laughs
slightly and says. -"Why I feel just
the way I did yesterdiay-last ween-
do
eek
do you think I ought to feel any dif-
ferently?"
Of course, Mrs. Kramer did know
what a 'hotel was, and how it was
run, before she signed the papers in
the Lindoln deal- Her husband., Max
las s owned another hotel, a
thick distant from the newly acquir-
e one. and sthe 'had' helped him with
gat one. But of course it wasn't
really like this. First of all, she is
'twice as busy with the new one
than she ever imagined anyone in the
world could be.

To Control Sow Trbistle
Atter harvest' cultivation is the
cheapest and most effective method
of controlling Perennial Sow Thistle,
states J. 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. After (harvest
cultivation pays big dividends in as-
suring larger succeeding crops and
better returns. Kill weeds wthen they
are weakest. Plan now bo work all
infested fields which are not seeded
down_

Her first act of ownership was per-
haps the most typical of her approach
to the job. "I made out all the checks
tor the hotel staff. 1t was the hest -
and quickest way I could think of -
r) familiarize myself with the names
of the employees. I don't see how a
person can work effectively with a
staff of associates without establish-
ing a basis of acquaintance with them:
We hope to be friends among our-
selves, if we're going to make the ho-
tel a place the public will find friend-
ly„
The biggest factor to be overcome
in running a ,hotel is its intrinsic im-
personality, its tacit implication that
the hotel guest is n number, an item
in a great regimentation:
"I don't think you'd say I am con-
templating a lot of ,i$novations," Mrs.
Kramer said_ "Let us call them the
addition of little touches here and
there. For instance, do you have
any idea how large a proportion of
men like a flower for their button -
boles, when they set out on their
business day? 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. You may
say that it,won',t take the bouquets
long, at that rate, to be bedtraggled•in
appearanee. Well, we'll replenish
them. We feel it is worth whatever
it costs. People remember such
things -and where they found them.
And of course such ideas are so
adaptable. Adaptable _,to the Wagle
House in a town of 8,000 population
just as well as in New York."
Favorite Recipes
There's the matter of recipes. Peo-
ple remember where they get food
cooked as they particularly like it, too.
For instance, your correspondent
knows of three 9i'otels-ofle in New
York, one in Boston, one in Los An-
geles -where cold rice pudding, of
the kind winch was a wonderful part
of childhood days -is to be had -
made ,thesame way, flavored the
same way, the same consistency. No
recollection of the floor plans of the
hotels where they serve it whatever,
hut a constant and thrilling mental
Photograph of the way the item looks
on the menu cards in each of the din-
ing rooms -and what the dish looks
like when it is served.
"Any time a guest eats something
in our hotel he particularly enjoys,"
Mrs. Kramer says, "he is at liberty to
give the waiter bis name and address
-and the recipe will probably get to
that address before he does. We
think°t.hat sort of thing sets our ho-
tel off from allirothers, in pleasant: re-
trospect -and leo is an idea worth
cultivating,"
Mrs. Kramer was born on a ranch
in Mexico. Her grandfather was Gov-
ernor of the Province. Her family is
of French, Aztec, and Spanish stock.
She was educate[,i in the United
States and in Europe. She has con-
ducted a dress sIi'op that was famous,
in Paris, and another in New York.
"My job is really only to back up
my husband's job,". she says. And

respect to smoothing. the wheels of
progress --she is certainly going to at-
tempt to find. out.

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.

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. -
