I'm glad di snowed the other ilaY.
In fact It brought a great relief tQ
our place when' late in the afternoon
great big flees of snow started
rumpling down out of the sky. For
„days a little girl with golden yellow
hair has been worrying ardently • • •
overtime in fact. She was worrying
.about the fact thiq there was no
snow.
Each morning" you could hear her
tiptoe arose the bedroom and stand
at the window. We almost fancied
that we heard her groan of disgust
dis-
gustingly a sent. At breakfast, noon
. . . becaoeil the snow was still and night meals, Patricia Ann mon-
opolized 'the talking. Her 'questions
ran something like this: "When do
you think/ it will snow, Daddy? . . .
Moramy, how can Santa Claus come
in his sleigh with the •reindeer if
there's no. •snow? Do you think • it
will snow tonight, Daddy? Can San-
ta Claus drive a car .like ours, Mum-
my? . . . and so on.
I watched a• dull cloud roll up out
of the western sky and felt the air
getting cold. The sight of it made
me wonder about snow . . . and sort
of smile at how Patricia Ann .would
react to it. I went on back into the
horse stable to do some work on a
horse -collar and a half hour later
-Mien I came out the snow was com-
ing down in big, fat flakes.
I could see a little face glued to
the window as I was ipoing up the'
lane. She wasn't missing a single
thing about the snowstorm. The wor-
ried look was gone and as the kit -

reflected in her'faCe.
When she went to bed there was a
slight creaming of tbe grotuld • with
snow. She went off With the hope
•that in the morning site would be able
to start right in sleigh -riding the
big bill. Her hopes were dashed to
pieces the next. morning, however,
because the snow was all gone.
Breakfast was a complete failure . .
dinner was little better, but then the
miracle happened. It started snow-
ing and she insisted on trying to
sleigh ride on the fraction of snow
covering the grown& nupm Was a
real success.
Since then the snow has stayed
with us. I'm hoping that it will stay.
It solves the whole problem of trying
to make up reasons as to how Santa
Claus might be able to come without
the help of .sno,w. I tried to explain
it by saying. that they were magical
reindeer that flew through the sky,
landing on housetops. I was pinned
down oa that one. How could the
sleigh land on a rooftop if there was
no snow for it to land on? The ex-
planation that he might use a plane
may be all right for a little boy, but
it definitely doesn't fit into the mind
of one young lady.

• Keep this Christma.s merry still!
As if substitutes could change us in-
to Scrooges!.Why it's a date -to start
us off on new adyentures. This
year, , when love and friendship have
taken on a deeper meaning, is the
time of all times to light the Christ-
mas candles and open wide our hearts
and homes.. '
We can capture the GhriStmas spir-,
it with the old simplicities, those
homely things; love and laughter; .a
goose that's crisp and golden, a bowl,
of fluffy mashed potatoes and a dash
of color in each dish—scarlet red
cranberries, creamy orange turnips,
and rich brown pudding. May the
heart be grateful for these things.
,• Then join voices, sing the joyous
carols again, loud% and clear, and "let
nothing you dismay."
The world's awry, but make this
Christmas merry still. Another year
who ,knows how dear may be the
memory of this day. '

Mrs. C. D .asks: "At what tem-
perature should eggs tkn stored?”
Answer: Eggs left inya warm.kit-
chen for a morning can become "old-
er" as far as quality is concerned
than eggs left in refrigerator or a
ventilated place at 38 degrees for sev-
eral days or weeks. Do not store
eggs this month—let us share those
available—the hatcheries will require
the best ones.
Mrs. M. M. says: "Why do stored
beets lose their color when peeled
and sliced but fresh ones do not—can
this be prevented? I prefer to peel
them because tjaey are then ready' to
serve with the potatoes and Minced
meat steaks.
Answer: Add a half teaspoon of
vinegar to the cooking water.

It intArest to note that the Me-
rees which were pruned tbe
la
kipout mid-December just be-
for-, the cold spell, showed more in-
jury than those pruned the first
week in December. Older McIntosh
trees in another block of the same
orchard,pruned in October did not
suffer from winter injury. Location
and cultural treatments were not con-
tributing factors and .there appeared
to be just as much injury on trees
pruned under one treatment as/ an-
other. In an orchard near Whitby,
practically all the Fameuse trees 30
years of age, that were Pruned the
first three weeks in December, were
injured severely. The bark loosened
all around the trunks of these trees
and, in some, well up the limbs. Trees.
pruned in November and after the
,first three weeks in December in the,
same orchard showed little or no in-
jury.
These experiences indicate that
sevecre winter injury resulting often
in complete killing of the trees may
occur if apple, trees are pruned just
prior to unusually low temperatures.
It is clear that apple 'growers cannot
afford to take the risk of fall and ear-
ly winter pruning as the penalties
are often very heavy and may even
be disastrous when whole blocks of
orchard are killed' out. To, be an the
safe side no pruning should be done
in the fill and early winter. In East-
ern Ontario and Quebec no pruning
cuts should be made L.until early
March..

Canada Made Miracle Possible if

Maud, C.B.E., Secretary to the Min-

Agricultural Conference how he and
his colleagues appreciate the part
Canadian farmers are playing in pro-
viding Britain with 'bacon.
With the \collapse of the Low
Countries in 1940 and the consequent
loss of bacon supplies from across the
channel, there was no possible alter-
native to obtaining baqpn from Can -
Ida, if Britain were to continue fight-
ing. "A miracle had to • happen, if
the British Ministry of Food were to
keep people fed, and we of the Bri-
tish Ministry of Food were to keep

he said. /For most of us it consists
of tea, toast with little margerine to
spread on the toast and less marma-
lade to spread on the paargerine.
Then therels porridge which, because
,s4 the milk shortage, is rather thick.
Did we not have the four -ounce bacon

Dairy cows require from 'one to two
ounces of salt daily. It may be fed
in the meal mixture by adding one
pound to each 100 pounds of meal,
or it may be fed separatelY.
Never overfeed is one of the prin-
cipal rtiles for feeding dairy cattle.
The cows should be fed according to
the individual needs and desires of
each animal. Because sudden chang;
es in feed may cause not only loss in
gains or production but wilt often In-
duce ailments, the cows, shotild be
fed regularly as to the bourse of
feeding and the character of the feed.
