and are plotting to do you an injury.
These surmises may bo merely fig-
ments of the imagination and if the
truth were known, the people whom
you suspected had no unkind thoughts
of you at all. Another thing to re-
member is that frequent bathing of
the body is absolutely essential if one
is to keep in perfect trim.
In these winter days we have a
tendency to spend too much time in-
doors in superheated atmosphere.
What could be more healthful and in-
vigorating than a brisk walk in tho
open air. Walking is an exercise that
everybody can indulge in, and there
is no better recreation. Still, there
is not half enough walking done, even
in the country. The automobile is an
asset of course, and brings conven-
ience and comfort to every home
where it is in use, but when a person
develops the habit of riding every-
where, even short distances that could
easily be covered on foot, then the
automobile is little short of a menace
to health. I have heard Wren who own
cars admit that for their health's
sake they would be far better off with-
out an automobile.
A powerful aitl to the preservation
of health is relaxation—of both hind
and body. If we have business cares
or worries connected with the daily
grind, we should as fat- as possible,
put therm awns, when evening comer
and enjoy the fellowship of family or
friends or recreation or books. The
mind needs a rest as well as the body,
and this applies to women ns well as
men. Of course there aro instances
where it is difficult to get rid of worry,
, and responsibility at special times, but
ns a rule, one can, by systematizing
his or her work, find time for relaxa-
tion.

Thrilling Honeymoons.
A well-known big -gauze hunter and
his wife have just returned from a
honeymoon spent in the village of a
hitherto unknown Central African
tribe.
Ono of the most remarkable honey-
moons was that spent by Major Cot-
ton and his wife, who, immediately
after their marriage in Nairobi, slit
out on foot for the mysterious Moun-
talus of the Moon, on whose perilous
slopes they spent a year among can-
nibals and gorillas before returning
1 to civilization.
Even more thrilling was tho wed -
' ding journey undertaken by Count
do Losdaln and his bride, who plung-
' ed into the heart of China on a dan-
gerous expedition that took then) over
mountains 20,000 feet high and into
Plume where white people had never
previously sot foot.
But the most hazardous undel'tak-
ing of this kind was the ill-fated voy-

KEEP RATS HUNGRY.
The number of ruts in a place i
always in direct proportion to th
available food supply. if n farm, 1
house or a !x11.11 is overrun with rats
it is evidence that some cne is goner
ous with rat food.
e'
Well-fed rats multiply rapidly and
always increase to the utmost limit
of the available food. If the daily
rat rations will support, only twenty
lean rats, there will. be no more, and'
no fewer, rats in that place. When
the numl,er ex:eeds the food supply,
their ill -nourished bodies fail to lc'-
produee, and disease takes a heavy
toll of them. That is true of all ani -
male, including man. You cannot in
any t'ir'curllstaneeS raise more fish in
u pond Chau the food there will feed.
A farmer noticed that during the
summer there were very few rats
round the barns, and that even they
had hard pfrking to live. The granary
was rat. -proof, The chickens got no
more than they reeild eat in a hurry.
A few rats survi•-:(1 by foraging in
the fie:d, and pries But soon after
the big mows vs es stored with un -
threshed wheat '1e, rats began to
come. Jt was (•.!r'y winter before a
thresher %vas a,ai:ab and by that
tines the barn \\•a.; alive with rat., --
hundreds of rat:, bis' rats and little,'.
rats bl'v'd Ore : !:(1 gra; C•?`f Yvn
could heir :hem squc.ling and
scrambling in the rt.• :,r. Thr:;; ran
boldly round ur:,';''r fort. A few
months later a well -'ed rat was hard
to find. The few that the farmer trap-
ped made little difference, but the
threshers came and beat out the grain,
the straw was sold and hauled away,
the wheat was locked in the granary.!
Beyond question rats will migrate..
That farmer's rats had to move or.
starve; so one dark night they just,
went away, no one knows where, but
most certainly to some place where
they could get food.
The moral is that, if you keep rats'
hungry, you can keep thern scarce. A'
hungry rat is ea y to trap, a famish-
ed rat takes poisoned bread with a
gusto; so the best way to get rid of
rats is not to have any.
Keep every bit of rat food securely;
covered. Put the chicken feed into tin
boxes or iron barrels and keep the
rovers down. Feed the chickens, not
the rats. In other words, feed the;
chickens no more than they will clean'
up. Nothing encourages rats more!

where the fanner and his wife, their

income on their farm is from the sale

"We all drink milk," said the moth-
er, "and I use plenty of milk in cook-!

When I hear farmers talking about

THE CIIARM OF T}IE EVERGREEN
Evergreen trees of the various var
reties cultivated for landscape decora
tion give a feeling of richness, par
ticularly for large grounds. They re
quire, however, more thoughtful' car
in placing than do deciduous trees an
shrubs, They have the importan
alue of presenting a striking appear
since at all seasons of the year. It
the winter months, contrasted with th
white of snow and the grey of leafles
twigs, the dark green of the conifer
suggest warmth and cheer, In sura
nrcr their heavy green and so:id op
pearance against the paler leafage o
deciduous trees present a fine con
t.l'ast. A natural grove of spruce
firs, pines, and cedars present a pie
turesquo appearance. The study o
one of these is often a help in ar-
ranging a planting plan. Even with
such assistance, skill is needed to set
out even a dozen conifers. Too great
a variety is seldom as satisfactory as
two or three species presenting di-
versified contrast in shapes. The more
numerous the species, however, the
greater the diversity in skyline and
composition, Conifer evergreens aro
the deep tones of the pictures of out
of doors. As contrast to a background
of buildings, low foreground or horti-
cultural adjunct the shadows they
cast have great decorating value.
-1 will give a home an enviable distinc-
- tion and charm.
The choice of suitable varieties of
- evergreens for the planting of the'
e home grounds is 11 matter for very,
d careful consideration. Some of the1
t many varieties available on the mar-'
- ket are more suitable than others for
1 the climate and soil of this country.'
e. Both Macdonald Co:lege at Ste. Anne:
s de Bellevue, near Montreal, and the
s Ontario Agricultural Co' -'lege at
- Guelph, have had wide experience in
- the use of various varieties of ever-,
f greens for campus planting. The lists
- recommended by these two institu-I
, tions do not differ widely. Together
- they include the following: Globe
f Cedar, Thuja occ. globosa; Globe
Ware's Cedar, Thuja occ. globose'
Warreana; Oriental Pyramid Cedar,
Thuja Oriental=s ikota pyramidalis;
'Virginia Juniper, or Red Cedar, Juni-' 1
perus virginiana; Swiss Juniper, Jun
iperus suesica; Savins Juniper, Jun-; 1
inertia saltine; Prostrate Juniper,
Juniperus prostrate; Dwarf Mountain' d
Pine, Pinus rnugho; Japanese Cypress,' b
Rctinospora plumose filifera; Japan-'
ese Cypress, Retinospora plumosa;! g
Canadian Yew, Taxus canadensis; i 1
Japanese Yew, Taxus cuspidate.
Some of these varieties, beautiful as
they are, may, if left to themselves,
lbecome too large for the space theyi
1 are planted to occupy, Any of them,
however, may be kept dwarf by sys-
tematic pruning. This, however,
should not be done later than July and Ir
preferably in the month of June,-- f

HOGS
Nut long ago a farmer penned up
a sow which was soon due to farrow.
Before she was placed in the farrow-
ing quarters she was accustomed to
sleeping around the straw pile.
1s was considerably against her de-
sire to enter the pen, but she was
forced to go into the quarters with
which she was unfamiliar.
For a long time she was unsettledand tore about frantically seeking an
exit. All of this was brought about
just on the eve of farrowing. Even
after farrowing she was still restless,
During tho farrowing she trampled
several of the pigs to death,
The mistake this fanner made was
becnsue he did not accustom the sow
to her quarters a week or so in ad-
vance of the farrowing date. Hogs,
and especially mother "ows, usually
become very fond of regular quarters.
In such quarters they are much more
quiet than when confined to a strange
place.
Without a doubt the sow's condition
of mind has much to do with the ease
of farrowing and the success of the
litter after farrowing.

Too many evergreens make the pic-
ture too dark and dismal, Use of the
lighter shades of green will help to
offset this difficulty as the selection
of white pine instead of Norway
spruce near a dwelling. In the group-
ing of the various conifers care. should
therefore be taken to avoid the intense
forms of color. One needs space to
adopt the evergreen as a decorative
feature, In small areas one conifer
can dominate the scene or a group of
a few can be the central figure of a
large planting, It is well in either
case to lay out a planting plan,
choosing carefully of the varieties to
be set out and to snake their arrange-!
meats fit into though not mixed with
deciduous varieties of trees and 1
shrubs. For best effects it is most
satisfactory to keep to two types of
vegetation, quite or nearly apart ex-
cept when definite differences of vege-
tation are desirable in order to work
out a plan calculated to improve the,
picture through the inequality di
light and shade. There are many
types of decorative evergreens in cul-;
tivation, but the spiry sorts as Irish

ful as accents ill the formal. garden,

A -DUTCH COLONIAL HtOM1
DIt1SIGNED BY W. W. PURRDY
There is perhaps no other type
of home wllicl► has proved so popu-
lar in the last few years as that
of the Dutch Colonial. In the plan
hero illustrated, the center hall
has been reduced to the minimum.
'chis home, planned for a corner
lot somewhat lower in tho rear,
and i11 order that the owner might
tithe advantage of this, the garage
was placed under the sun -room.
In doing this, however, it was
necessary to raise the house some-
what higher off the ground than
usual. In order to overcome this,
a small terrace was provided for
across the entire front. The small
stoop has been slightly projected
in order to provide for a vestibule
and the stairway landing and soil
leave room for an arched opening
between the holland dining room,
similar to that of the hall and liv-
ing room.
Interesting features in this plan
are the passage from the kitchen
and llvlug room, which open di-
rect into a fair sized breakfast
room, French doors also lead
frons the living room into the
sun -room. In addition to the rear
entry, there is also provided space

The Fragrant Garden.
Someone has said that we are fast
drifting toward an age of flowers
that will have no fragrance, and this
is accounted for by the keen desire of
1 growers to produce larger flowers.
No profusion of blossoms, no exqui-
site coloring or beauty of form can
compensate for a lack of fragrance
with most flower lovers, How dis-
appointed we feel when shown a rose
of rare coloring and perfect form to
' find that its satin petals yield no per-
fume, One may tire of brilliant,
showy flowers, but the sweet-smelling,
' old-fashioned ones will never lack ap-
preciation. No quality in flowers
strikes tho chord of remembrance with
so true a touch .of fragrance. When
the rose is mentioned, we at once as-
sociate it with sweetners. We love
flowers for their fragrance even
though they are not very beautiful,
but when they are fragrant as well
as beautiful our enthusiasm knows
no bounds. Plant the old-fashioned
fragrant 'flowers even though the
catalogues tell you wonderful tales of
the beauties of the newer ones of im-
mense size. The smaller flowers have
usually the sweetest perfume,
Sweet peas, mignonette, stocks,
heliotrope, carnation, lilies, pansies,
lily of the valley, lilacs, honeysuckle,
and roses, aro deliciously frangrant.
Some very beautiful roses are not, but
the following are fragrant and beau-
tiful: Frank. W. Dunlop, Madam But-
terfly, Gruss au Teplitz, Sunburst,
America, Hoosier Beauty, Columbia,
Paul Neyron, ]1 Inge. Edouard Hcrr•iot,
Mde, Ravary. These are only a few
of the fragrant roses, but it is a good
list to plant when beginning, The
charm of these will urge you to in-
crease your list,—Jeanatte Leader,

Suppression of the Cutworm.
Tho cutworm is no respecter of
plant, soil or district. Its suppression
is therefore a necessity everywhere,
and the method recommended by the
Dominion Entomologist is by poison-
ed bait composed as follows: 20 pounds,
of • Iran and half a pound of Paris
green well mixed in a wash tub while'
dry; a quart of molasses dissolved in l•
two or three gallons of water and the
bran and poison thoroughly dampened'
therewith, For small gardens can be
used 11 quart of .bran, a teaspoonful of,
Paris green and a tablespoonful of
molasses with sufficient water to thor-
oughly moisten the bran. Shorts or,
middlings in place of bran can be
used. In gardens containing rows of
vegetables, advises the Entomologist,
the mixture should be scattered thinly
along on either side as soon as cut-!
worm injury is noticed. Flowering
plants can be protected by placing a;
small quantity of the poisoned bran'
around, but not touching, each plant. 1
The bran should be scattered after'
sundown so that it will attract tho
l
pest when it conies out to feed at
night. In small gardens, when cut-
worm injury is noticed, the worm can
generally be located about air inch be-
low the soil and within a few inches
of the plant so that it can be destroy-
ed by hand,
The crop of a week-old chick holds

Home Education
"The ChIId's First School Is the Family,"--Frocbel,
Jaunts With Our Children —By Edith Riland Cross
Do you ever enjoy a jaunt in the
woods with your children? And do
you share an interest with them In
the things of nature, in God's great
out-of-doors? ff not, you should re-
member that parents, living in rural
communities where there are no kin-
dergarten, can give their children
much they would get in a city kinder-
garten by taking frequent trips with.
them. One of the greatest purposes
of the kindergarten is to awaken the
child's observation, to acquaint hire,
and to teach him his relationship to
the people with whom he associates,
Nature lessons serve this purpose.
First help your children to know
the many land and water birds. Keep
a list from year to year of the birds
seen and the elates on which they ap-
peared each spring. A bird guide and
a small pair of field gasses are help-
ful on 11 field trip. Teach the children
to know the songs of the birds, too
by taking them just at dusk to listen
to their calls,
If these calls are translated into
words the children can more easily
distinguish one from another, From
childhood I remember that the brown
thrasher says, "What would you give
mo for my tail, my tail? A sixpence,
a sixpence. 'Tain't enuf, 'tain't enuf,
A shilling, a shilling. Cut it off—cut
it off. Tr -r -r -r -r -r- (the saw)," The
meadowlark says, "Teakettle, tea in
tho teakettle." Kildeers, phoebes, and
chickadees say their own names, The
robin- says, "Cheer up cheerily,"
Birds' nests should likewise be
studied and the kinds of places chosen
by the different birds for' their Montes.
Instill through such knowledge a de-
sire on the part of the child to pro.
tect the birds and their homes, and
thus further th we rk of our bird pro -
;cc ivo so; ieties.
Along with the birds, study flowers
and trees. Let the children have a
wild flower garden at home and teach
them how to transplant it from the
woods and tend it. In this way have
them become familiar with twenty-
five or thirty of our most common
wild flowers and trees, A good flower
guide would be serviceable..
An added joy to the wood trip i�►;.1
of course, the picnic lunch. How tho
children love to help build the fire

love the freedom of it, too? There is
no better time to become real pals
with your children than when close
to nature.
On a jaunt it is always n splendid
idea to gather specimens to bring
home. The children sometimes busy
, themselves for days making things
from their collections. hach specimen
has its story to tell, and this further
contact more clearly impresses the
characteristics upon the child's mind,
Aside from the purely educative
purposes of our jaunts, I would far
rather have my children remember,
when they aro grown, that mother
could almost always take time to go
to the creek with them than have then
remember whether or not my house
was always dusted and ready for
callers,
Above all help the children realize
that back of the wonders of nature
which they see there is a kind Heaven-
ly Father watching over each and
every thing Whom we mu et glorify
for these great blessings.
Tonsils.
The tonsils are small bodies that
hang at either side of the back of the
throat, When they are in t1 state of
health, • wo aro not aware of them,
but when unhealthy, as they too often
are, they can cause much discomfort
and Buffering, The mouth and throat
are constantly occupied by all sorts of
ol'ganisms that, generally speaking,
tiro quiescent, but that cften conspire
and give great trouble, and the ton-
sils naturally conte in for then:' share,
In sore throat, for example, the
brunt of the attack may fall upon the
tonsils, and then we have what is
called tonsilitis. The tonsils become
inflamed and enlarged, and swallow-
ing is exquisitely painful; there is also
fever, a poisoned condition of the sys-
tem and all the other accompaniments
of sore throat. Although the fever
of an attack of tonsilitis seldom lasts
more than a day or two, the resu:t is
generally weakening, probably be-
cause there is no way to keep the
poisonous products from entering the
general system. When anyone suffers
with repeated attacks of tonsilitis the
small crypts or pockets that chiefly
characterize the tonsils become en-
larged and give shelter to all sorts of
harmful nutterial, which not only
affects the health by being absorbed
oto the system but also gives rise to
ermanent bad breath.

affection of the tonsils and of the sur-
rounding' parts. It is generally a
suppuration of the tissues round the
tonsils, and its terrible pain is caused
largely by the swelling of the parts --
a condition that not only mattes swal-
lowing a torture but also slakes the
liatient feel as if he were about to
suffocate. As soon as th0 abscess of a
quinsy is ripe it should be opened by
the surgeon; in that way the sufferer

But a strange coincidence, not SO
often noted, 18 that on the very day
of the very year which saw the birth
of the Lincoln child in a log cabin in
Larne County, Ky., !mother infant, des-
tined to bo a great emancipator of

cry' in its mother's arm in tho town,
of Shrewsbury, England.
On February 12, 1809—Lincoln's
Natal day—Charles Darwin was born.
Thus the two greatest men of the
Nineteenth century—men who in their
respective spheres have never since
been matched—began life together in!
thne, though ,far apart in space and
station.
Lincoln struggled against the handi-
cap of poverty in order to get an edu-
cation and itt himself for his great ser-
vice to humanity. Darwin struggled
against the handicap of privilege that
ho might free himself to follow the
gleam of truth. While others tell
again the inspiring story of Lincoln,
lot its on this page devote a few words
to the story of Darwin. His father
was a physician and the son of a
physician; his mother the daughter of
the famous Josiah Wedgwood, artist
in pottery, a woman of culture, Charles
was sent to the famous school of Dr,
Samuel Johnson at Shrewsbury, whore

Diligently they sought to drive into

and classic literature.
