New Idea Furnaces LIMITED INGERSOLL, ONT.

There are two ways tcb harraner a nail, One often, leads to a smashed thiiral); the other to the insertion of the nail, without ble. The correct way is to hold the nail with the,thumb and. fore- finger near' the bead of the nail. If the nail slips, the hammer head tends to brush thumb and linger to one tide with little damage. The wrong way is to support the nail at the base, This results in injury because the thumb and fore- finger are more or less stationary against the surface being nailed. If the nail slips the hammer descends and sashes thumb and forefinger against a send surface. * * * Cattle may be seriously injured by swallowing small pieces of met- al left around the stalls or in the fields. Bits of broken wire, nails dropped from workmen's pockets, old nhils from shingling jobs, nails left on window sills or on the ends of old boards where the cattle can get at them, are common causes of serious trouble. * * * Light Important in Seed Testing Standard. conditions must be provided for germination tests in a seed testing laboratory so that the results may be repeatable when the same lot of seed is test- ed at another time or in another laboratory. These conditions are necessarily not the same as condi- tions in the field, even if these could be duplicated in a laboratory because field conditions vary so much that it is impossible to know the conditions under which the seed is likely to be sown. Among the factors affecting germination that have been studied in the Seed Research Laboratory, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture, says Dr. C. W. Leggatt, is light. Some seeds are very sensi- tive to light and unless light is provided for the germinating seeds it is very difficult to get •a satis- factory test. It is true that in the field, see'ds are usually covered with soil and the amount of light reaching them is probably small. But the soil -contains various sub- istancea whOli' may take the place of light fOr promoting germination and temperature conditions may also have an effect.. Soil itself is not a very sat factory medium to use for a germination test because it varies so much. Lettuce seed is very sensitive to light, especially when freshly har- vested and even when it is not na- turally light-sensitive it can be very easily made so. This is done by placing the seeds on top of wet blotting paper and supporting a piece of glass above them covered by a sheet of blue cellophane and putting them in strong light. After two to three days, the normal germinating time, the seeds will be found not to have germinated if they are then dried they will re- quire light for germination. In these experiments with blue light it was found that if the blue light treatment was stopped be- fore the end of the first seven - hour period, it was much less ef- fective than if continued, a little after that time. Other related ex- periments showed that the seed was most sensitive to such influe ences at about seven hours after THE.MANUFACTURERS OF "Master. Plumber" WELDED STEEL Septic Tanks CONGRATULATE ED.

This type of thing has undoubtedly been the Cause, of • unsatisfactory tests witb. some kinds of seed in the past. Ir order to overcome the uncertainties of relying on natural light, Canadian seed laboratories are now equipped with artificial light which can be applied as needed. Other experiments with grasS seeds, many of which are light- sensitive, showed that not only must light be supplied, but it must be supplied at the right intensity: Lighting experts measure light in- tensity, in "foot-candles," which is the brightness given by a stand- ard candle at a distance of one foot. It was found that 200 foot- candle -light was a little too bright, and the intensities now recom- mended for use in seed germina- tion are from 50 to 175 foot -candies during the daytime period of tle test. For all practical, purposes, 100 foot -candlelight is satisfactory for most kinds of seeds. HYDRO HOME ECONOMIST Hello' Homemakers! Crisp, de- licious pickles with the same mouth-watering flavour that grand- mother's used to have can be made an easy way in your modern kit- chen.

Airborne Enemy August is th' height of the fly season and at this time of year the airborne invasion is trying ev- ery chink in our health defences. Flies spread disease with a prodi- gal band. See to it they are kept outside and away from food and eating utensils. Windows and doors should be carefully .creen- ed and sprayed with insecticide. Just because a fly is small doesn't mean he isn't dangerous. He's an implacable enemy and should be killed on sight. about 45 minutes. Stir frequently and pack in jars. Cool, then seal w*ith wax and cap bottles. Makes about 8 pints. Take a Tip 1. Use firm, fresh vegetables for piclding. 2. When vegetables are soaked in brine use bag salt—the tree running iodized salt causes brown scum. 3. Proportions of salt and wa- ter for brining is important to pre- vent soft or tough pickles. One cup salt to 2 quarts (10 cups) water is recommended. 4. Use cider vinegar for flavor and strength but use white spirit vinegar where color is important in clear pickling liquids. 5. In making pickles, use en- amel, aluminum or stainless steel cooking utensils. Discoloration will form from brass lids or copper - bottomed pans—also zinc tubs or iron kettles. 6. Whole spices do not discolor vegetables, while ground spices tend to darken celery, onions, etc. 7. Pickles keep well in a crock if covered and stored in a cool place. Relishes and sauces should should be poured. in sterilized jars and sealed. Store in dark cool cupboard. Anne Allan invites you to write to her e/o The Huron Expositor.
