First Jobs There are several practical gar- dening jobs that can be carried out now regardless of how -low the mercury happens to be in the thermometer outside the kitchen window. For extra early blooms and vegetables, seed is sown in- doors or in hotbeds now and a• few weeks later when the weather turns warm, plants are moved to perm- anent quarters outside. The average gardener, of course, has not the time or the equipment to provide a lot of early started plants. It is more convenient to purchase from commercial sourc- es later on. But for a few early zinnias, petunias. asters or toma- toes, eggplants, melons and such things, it is not great trick to grow a few in a shallow box in a sunny window or even a larger quantity in a home-made hotbed or cold frame. In regard to the latter, one is well advised to get a good government bulletin telling all about how to build a hotbed or cold frame which are usually set up on the south side of the house outdoors. For the window box, flower pots or a wooden box about three inch- es deep will be needed. Put some sand in the bottom of these for drainage and then fill up with a mixture of fine rich soil mixed with a little sand. The seed is sown in rows a few inches apart, the whole watered frequently and carefully and placed in a sunny window. The box or pot should be turned about occasionally to keep the plants You canFgo MLou[ v IF you Feel au -1n These days most people work under pressure, worry more, sleep less. Thia strain on body and brain makes physical fitness easier to Tose—harder to regain. Today's tense living, lowered resistance, overwork, worry—any of these may affect normal kidney action. When kidneys get out of order, excess acids and wastes remain in the system. Then backache, disturbed rest, that "tired -out" heavy - headed feeling often follow. That's the time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodds stimulate the kidneys to normal action. Then you feel better—sleep better—work "'better. Ask for Dodd's Kidney fills at any drug counter. 53 from becoming spindly and it is well to check growth and harden off by gradually exposing to lower temperatures before we finally transplant outside. In these win- dow boxes one can easily grow a hundred plants or so with little trouble and in so doing have abun- dance of planting material to make a fine show of flowers or produce a few really early vege- tables. Garden Plans Another early job, and one that can be undertaken immediately, will be a rough plan of the flower garden we intend to have this sum- mer. In this planning all th s needed is a Canadian seed cat logue, a pencil and some paper. This planning should not really be classed as a job at all. It is really a pleasant way of putting in a win- ter evening. In this planning we note the time and color of bloom, the height of the mature plants, and the general effect we wish to produce. For most garden layouts the in- formaI design is best. This suits the small space at the disposal of most Canadian home owners and it tends to make the average gar- den more interesting. The general plan is to have a lawn in the cen- tre and foreground with the shrub- bery and, flowers arranged in ir- regular clumps all along the sides and at the back. This is,. where the height of ma- ture plants and time and color of bloom is important. We don't want small things like alyssum, portula- ca, dwarf zinnias and marigolds hidden by bigger, taller plants and we don't 'want all the bloom com- ing on at one time. The seed cat- alogue lists all these points and also tells us about the color and .whether the varieties are hardy or tender. With this precise know- ledge we can plan a pleasing anci'+ practical layout, have our fences and walks screened but not our windows, ,'and -also have so,niething in bloom from early spring` until late in the fall. We will also know what we can safely plant outdoors even while there is some risk of frost and what we cannot plant ' safely -until all danger of cold wea- ther is over. In these catalogues, too, are list- ed flowers for special places, slopes, dark shaded corners, and things that ever prefer poor soil or rocky footholds or wet feet. No platter how unfavorable—we ay think the location. there is sofne thing listed in the catalogue that will grow. NEXT WEEK — Lawns, Sweet Peas, Nursery Stock.

The following item from The Huron Expositor, March 25; 1881, spotlights certain data from the market -place three-quarters of a century ago: "Local markets are: Red fall wheat, $1.93 to $1.05; white, $1.02 to $1.04; oats, 35c to 37c; bar- ley, 60c to 70c" ' It seems to this reader that when one stops to consider the king-size dollars in 1881, contrasted with'to- day's anaemic 'half-pint' dollars, the initial payment by the Cana- dian Wheat Board .in 1956 (i.e., $1.40 for a bushel of No. 1 North- ern, basis in store at the Lake- head or Churchill or Vancouver terminals) is a. modest figure. Of course, as more than one edi- torial hays indicated, there is a wide gap between ,the price of wheat and the price of bread.

When you pay all bills by cheque on your Current Account, you receive back, at the end of each month, all your cancelled cheques as well as a bank statement showing every withdrawal and every deposit you have made. The cancelled cheques serve as receipts—and are accepted in court as evidence of payment of the amount shown. Furthermore, they are much easier to file away than receipts and take less room to store. With them and your bank statements, you'll find it far easier to get an exact picture of how you spend your money.
