He says: "Through the windmill, and by other agencies (until the time is reached when solar heat itself shall be cheaply transform- ed into electrical energy), 'batter- ies will be charged as motor for the plow, the harrow, the reaper and all other machines that now require the use of horses. "Even weeds may be exterminat- ed and plant -growth regulated by the same mysterious means, while scarcely anything can be more ser taint that not only will heat and light for domestic purposes be sim- ilarly applied, but that the farmer of the future will market his pro- duce and ride to church in elec- trically propelled vehicles." It is not safe in these scientific days to speak of anything in the future as being certain. Our auth- or had a good imagination but he could hardly be expected to fore- see -what really was going to hap- pen. Before the things. he prophesied had a chance of fulfilment in the way he expected, the internal come bustion engine was invented, mak-. ing possible things he never con- ceived. He would feel like a visi- tor to Mars might feel if he could visit a modern Ontario farm and watch a powerful tractor handle all the cultivation and harvesting, or a bulldozer levelling a .bush, each feeding on a few gallons of gasoline; or watch cows being milked and cream separated and water pumped for the stock by an electric power travelling over a wire without a battery in sight; or wander through the housewife's• do- main with its brilliant lighting, re-. frigerator, water pressure system, automatic washer, ironer, range, radio, and perhaps deep-freeze box. The poor man would be dumbfounded. Perhaps we ought to be, too. In- stead, our day seems to have come to the point where we think we have to have all of these to live. If gadgets added to our wisdom. we might feel easier in our conscienc- es. If they gave inner satisfac- tion we might have a happier world. But somehow they don't. And now we, in our turn, are doing the same sort of forecasting as our author friend did. Only we are substittating "atomic" for "elec- trical" in our prophecies of power. The world moves on, but each new generation repeats in its own way the experience of the old. Keep Flies Out Few people need to be reminded: that the common housefly is more than a nuisance; it can be. a dan- gerous carrier of such diseases as typhoid fever and dysentery. A single fly may lay more than 2,000 eggs in 301 days and in warm wea- ther the egg may emerge into an adult fly in less than two weeks. For the city home perhaps the best protection against flies is a well screened .house, always re- membering that a single door left open serves to make a house a flytrap. Children are often inclin- ed to leave doors open and the best answer is a spring which will close the door automatically. If flies do get into the house, a space or contact spray will give immedi- ate results. These sprays, of which there are many effective brands on the market, are of lit- tle residual value if sprayed on walls or windows and should be sprayed directly into the air of the room. For more lasting control a resi- dual type of spray should be used. It is seldom necessary to apply these sprays inside the house, but in such cased use only those -re- commended to indoor use. There are a number of chemicals on the market for preparing residual sprays and' the instructions on the THE wroti Emma District Obituaries GEORGE CAMPBELL CROMARTY. — George 11. L.

Fifty Years a] Changes on C (From the Owen Sound Sun -Times) We have been glancing through a book written in 1896 describing life on the farm down in York County. Farmers didn't have much to work with in those days. Their implements were crude, yet they believed themselves to be well• ahead of their fathers 1n both im- plements and methods. The single plow was being replaced by the sulky, the scythe and reaping hook by the mowing machine and bin- der, the Rail by the threshing ma- chine powered first by horses and then, wonder of wonders, by the steam engine. But on the horizon the great new science of electricity was pail peering. So the author of our book gave free rein to his imaging tion as he thought of the revolu- changes this new power See Me For Remarkably LOW.
