Roads Hard Hit This hasbeen a long, hard .winter, but it's near its end—we hope. At any rate, the .snow, is disappearing from the highways. And its disap- , pearance has• brought to 'light the fact that the hard surfaced high- ways, county roads, and town streets have been pretty hard hit. That- is not only true in this dis- trict, but we believe it is the same story over the whole province. Whole sections of pavement have been heav- ed by thefrost, while other roads and streets have been badly pitted, and still others are full of holes. Fortunately there was not a great deal of frost this winter, but when roads are plowed to the surface, the frost does get in. The hot sun in the daytime and the 'freezing at night does not improve the situation as far as road ' surfaces are concerned either. All, in all, it looks as if the govern- ment' and county repair bills for roads this spring would be a consid- erable one: Of course the govern- ment will be the hardest hit, but as it has declared its intention of .carry- ing on the governmenttax of 11 cents on' every gallon .of gasoline , used by motorists, it will have more than - enough to be able to meet the repair bill, providing it applies the money raised to that source. Year by year traffic is increasing on our roads and highways. Not only that, traffic is increasing just as fast in weight -as it is in numbers. The half -ton and ton -trucks are the ex- ceptioh one 'meets '• with now on the highways. Their places have been taken by the five, ten and twenty ton " trucks, which are as common today on our roads as the motor cars. And the size and weight is upping all the ' time. It is quite evident that the'present hard surfacingmaterial on our high- ways will not stand up very long un- der the weight and speed of present day motor traffic, which means wider- and better roads over an ever in- - • creasing ' mileage every year. In fact mist of -the cement :highways that were laid down ten or twenty years ago, and which at the ' time were thought to be permanent, have dis- intregated' and will have to be re- built. , However, everyone wants good roads, and if their demands' are met —and public opinion will force the issue—the taxpayers must expect to pay the price required, but they should get all that they pay for. • Why Not Here? We notice that the council of the Town of St. Marys has taken action to permanently _ maintain the shade trees 'whieh, line its 'Streets. It even maintains a'tree nursery from which small trees are taken to plalit in place of old, diseased or broken trees. Why could not stick . a plan be f ol- lo•wed in Seaforth:? Our tree -lined streets are not surpassed in beauty by any town in. Ontario But that beauty will not last . forever. In fact it is beginning to fade now and- has been for several years, and what is left is entirely . due to the foresight of our pioneer =councils, and not at all to those of recent years. . On'°a number of our streets, par- , titularly • Goderich Street on the main highway,'' the mapletrees lin- ing the street on both sides, have pas"sed their maturity. There are gaps here Ind there; many are dy- ing; ;one are dead, and a great many of them retain only a fraction f their former sutnmer beauty. Why waft inti] tit majority have gone?Why n t start Bulling and re - Placing now? Nothing would en- ,large .the. town's, place on the Ontario wap,more, nor as cheaply. But it is time a start was being made. • In The Legislature There have been some pretty warm times in the . Ontario Legislature since the.session opened a few weeks ago. And, what is ' rather peculiar about these warm spots is that they have not been occasioned by the Op- position, but by the Premier, his Cabinet Ministers and government officials. - The Minister of Highways had a run-in with - the Speaker of the House, and the Speaker forthwith resigned. More than that, his resig- nation was accepted and a new Speaker has been appointedin his stead. - Then the Premier hinted that Cab- inet Mthisters were shirking their duties in . the Legislature, and 'were not assuming the full ,responsibilities of their departments. • As, a ,conse=., quence, he had entirely too much• to do and to• oversee. But Premier Drew's main wrath has been directed in and out of the '. Legislature against the Toronto Daily -Star and its editor, Mr. Atkin- son. ` The courts recently settled, at least for the time. being, Mr. Drew's libel action against that paper and its editor. ' But apparently the Star, not satisfied with winning the first round, has continued to publish edi- torials, while not of ' a libellous na- ture, seem to have got' very far un- der the Premier's skin, and he has - taken violent objection to thele, both in the House and over the air. There is no doubt but that Mr. Drew has some cause to be" angry, but the things he hassaid about the Star are both impolite and vehement .and his outbursts have proved em-. barrassing to his friends, if they • have not also weakened his cause. We would not for a moment offer what would seem to be a rather'. ab- surd suggestion that Mr. 'Drew should follow the example of the Dominion Premier in this or any= thing else, but the newspaper .situa- " tion regarding both is very similar. Almost daily, for years, the Toron- to Globe and Mail has been directing trifling and sometimes miserable edi- torials • at Mr. King. But Premier. _. King has ignored them completely, which mustpain the Globe and Mail editor to the same extent as the " tirades of -the Ontario Premier have tickled the editor of the Star. At the same time, Mr. King's attitude has certainly raised him in the estima- tion of the Canadian people. • The Children's Hour Most of the older ' generation of today, and possibly more -of form- er generations, are familiar with Longfellow's poem, `The Children's Hour": Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Gomes a pause in the day's occupa- tions,' That is known as the children's hour. I hear in the chamber above me The patter of little feet, The sound of a door that is opened, And voices soft and sweet. From my 'study, I see in the lamplight' Descending the broad hall stair, ' Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, And Edith with golden hair. (Etc.) But that was along, long time ago.. There is another kind of Children's Hour today, so aptly described by Stoddard King in the Spokane Spokesman Review: Between the dusk and the daylight: When the broadcasters step up their power, Comes that large and magnificent shambles That is known as the children's hour. The wee ones) huddle together In time for the evening scare, To chill their juvenile marrow And curl their innocent hair. Then over the waves of 'ether To fill their sweet long dreams Comes tales of terror and torture And seventeen kinds' of screams. yrs 4ort IutereStlnti #teMS piCite4 tram The Espositer of after and, tWenteefive years ego.

In the majority of cases it was found that the animals had gained access to orchard sprays and either ate grass wet, will spray drift, or on which spray had. dripped from trees, or drank water on top.. of flotation sul- phur barrels, or had access to wa- ter' contaminated In other ways from spray materials. In several cases the level of arsenic in stomach contents, in milk and urine was fatally high, Horse Responds To Good Treatment There are ,.similarities, between horse and tracts)), power. • Both need a teorough overhauling in preparation for heavy work in the spring; and, both meed ' a gradual breaking) in to heavy work, says. J. G. Stothart, Divi- sion of Animal Husbandry, Central Experimehtal Farm, Ottawa. With the horse it is its general condition, feet, possibly teeth, and the harness, that will need attention. It is possible• on the general farm to keep the horses in good) condition on light regular work during the win- ter, but when horses are not worked, some thought should• be given to get- ting them ready for the heavy ,work in spring., About two weeks to a` irionth ,before heavy work .starts the feed should be increased. It should be increased, gradually to put on some extra flesh as well as tone the horse up generally. While' the horseis regarded as a iamb animal, actually it is not dumb at.,all. It responds tremendously to care and "Oonsideration. It should . be handled and groomed regularly. Much of the wintencoat can be ' removed by constant grooming,. and if this, is one sweating too much when' heavy work starts will be avoided. To improve the pulling power and; often avoid lat. ea lameness the horse's feet should be trimmed, If a horse does not put on weight, with good, feed and light work, it is possible that his teeth •are not right. If this is so, the teeth should be'filed so that the horse will get the besf.' advantages from the feed. Irl, addition to .overhauling the har- ness by washing, mending and oiling, it is important that harness be ,pro- perly fitted: Nothing hinders the best performance of a burse more than an ill-fitting collar. It should be neither too big nor too iniall, batt such that will allow en even disitabution of the pull on the shoulders. For the first few days of heavy work •the con- dition of the shoulders should' he watched carefully and; the face, of the •cpIlar ,should be kept clean. to. avoid grinding dirt into the shoulders:' Loss, of time through breaks and in, jury to the horse can Often be avoid- ed by the proper care and fitting of the harness. - Potato Food Values " The 716a -way to serve food, vaInes in potatoes is to soak them in their skins. Of the choice between boiling them or baking them, • boiling con- serves more 'vitamins. Even, if -pota- toes are to be served parsleyed, mash- ed, creamed, hash -browned, or in sal- ad, start them on their way boiled in their skins. ' When raw potatoes are called for in a scallop or soup, keep the peelings thin, and peel the •potatoes just be-, fore costae**. If allowed to soak, the potatoes lbse some of their nutrition- aI value. 'On occasions when they have to be peeled hhead'• of cooking time, pat them in salted water. Serve them quick -cooked and steaming .hot.

G. Stoth- art, Divis#on of Animal Husbandry, Central Experinien•tal ,Farm; Ottawa. As the yearly cost of maintaining the sow has to be charged to'the litter or • litters she raises, and as. it takes, al- most as 'much feed, the main item'of expense, for a sow to raise and' wean on•Iy five pigs as it would if she wean- ed ten or a dozen, it is obvious that the number over whish' this, 'cost' is spread is particularly important.
