They \yore the work of out- siders. \Vho were the outsiders, arid whence did they come? '!'here wore• various th(•o'Ies afloat. at, one 1In1'. Some ar,erihed the mounds to pyra- mid -erecting Egyptians, some to tiro Lost Tribes of Israel, There were those who supposed them to have been the relies of the wandering' Norsemen who came to this country with Leif Ericson. 'These theories havo all been discarded for lack of evidence, It is 0014' taken for grunt- ed that the mounds were reared by (140 Mayas, and that some time not later than the fifth century the Mayas had imposed much of theft' civilization upon the Indians! then living In Canada and the United States. Racially the 1Jayas were much the salmi as the North American Indian:!. They were 1 highly civilized a11(1 \veil organized power living In what is now Southern ,Mexico and (lualr- .111a1111. They were tr'ade's and par- ticularly valued the pearls which havo been so frequently found in the mounds. It was their desire for pearls that probably led thein north, and it was Prof. Perry who pointed out that fifteen hundred }'ears ago tho mussel beds in a thousand streams in/Eastern North America would bo well worth searching, for pearls. These shell Ilsli are stili gathered for the so-called mother- of-pearl, but not for the pearls them- selves. Nowadays this search would not pay, but probably It paid when the fish were 11111eh more 111111e1'OuS owing to an absence of pollution. But how about the mounds? What do they mean? As E. E. Free observes in the New York Times it, 114 improbable that the Mound Builders spent most of their time in building mounds any nlo'0 than \1'o spend most of our time In building houses. But if our civili- zation were wiped out, the most lasting luemorfals that \would re- main would bo the heaps of brick and concrete and stole that marked our activities ns house builders. Some of the hounds indicate that they may have been built for pur- poses of fortifleat7lon. Others were probably places of worship. When one of the Mayas died far from home, he chose to • have his grave In a mound, and in, the tomb wero placed those sacrificial offerings that seem to' havo universally accompanied mankind's early ideas of a God and I{4)' tie f the Universe. It is possible that before all these mounds aro ex- cavated Soneth1n1.; will be tumid, 'souse record, perhaps some writing, that: will tell us what else the Mound llttllders did except employ the In- dians in mussel fishing anti rearing the strange protuberances 'which have given 1.h0111 the name we know 1110411 by, Suclt records have .been. !';umrl further sou11,-f01' it 18 believed Ihnl fhn n.,lh, 'n nP 1 ii`n innnn of Un,"t THE ROYAL OB'-il:It\'AT01tY. 11r, Jackson 'I'c'll'; 'Sonu't tiIiig About whits Is Don(' nt (to'oi wicl►.

BUTCIIERING AND CURING MEAT When we grind sausage, wo use our auto to turn the grinder, Wo brace tho ear, so It will bo perfectly steady, then jack up the rear wheels and place the sausage -mill by the jacked -up wheels, Bo surd to have the shaft of the grinder in 'lino with axle of auto. Wo put tho grinder on blocks so n receptacle can bo placed to catch the sausage, With bindor twine wo tie the handle of grinder to spoke of wheel, Ilavo a person sit on each end of board to which grinder is attached, then start motor, putting in second gear, In this way meat from seven good-sized hogs can be ground in a half-hour or less.—F, B, If help is scarce, use this method In scalding hogs: Take n galvanized - iron trough largo enough to hold car- cass, Set it in cement so you can build a fire un•:or it to heat the water. On ono side build a platform on which to stand and on which to lay carcass to be cleaned, To this platform fas- ten two ropes near enough to the ends of trough to balance the carcass, and long enough to reach down to the bot- tom of tank and hack to the operator, Place hog on these and lower into water, then roll out, which can very easily be done.—E, C. C. Plait Balt pork: Rub each piece of meat with the very best grade of salt (to insure penebrntion), Pack meat closely in a barrel and let stand over- night. The next day weigh out, for every -100 'pounds of meat, hen pounds of salt and three ounces of saltpeter, • Dissolve in` four gallons of boiling water. When this brine is cold pour it over the meat, cover the meat and weight it down. Keep the pork in the brine until used, Sugar -cured hams and bacon; Rub each piece of meat with snit and lot drain overnight, then pack closely in a barrel, hamosabienhoulders in tho bottom, using strips!' of bacon to 1111 the top, For every 100 pounds of meat there should be added eight pounds of salt, three pounds of brown sugar and three ounces of saltpeter. Dissolve these in four gallons of water and cover the meat with this brine. For summer use, boil the brine anti let cool before using. Leave bacon strips in the brine from four to six weeks, and hams from six to eight weeks. Dry -cured pork: For every 100 pounds of meat, weigh out five pounds of salt, two of sugar, and two ounces of saltpeter. Mix thoroughly and.rub thio meat once a day for three days, using one-third of the mixture each day. Pork cured thus and • smoked will keep through the summer if pro- tected from flies. To keep flies away, wrap meat in heavy paper and put into muslin bags, Before i, ening tho neat into the bags, remove Lite string from each piece, Wrap tho string twice around tato top of each bag before tying, Paint the bags with a yellow wash, made of one ounce of glue, three pounds of barium sulphate, one and one-fourth ounces of chrome yellow, six ounces of flour, Half fill a pail with water, mix the flour, breaking all lumps, Mix the chrome yellow in a quart of water (in another pail), add the glue, then pour into the water containing flour. Bring tho mixture to a boil and add the barium sulphate, stirring all the time. hot the wash stand for a day before using. Never stack moat in piles after yellow wash has been applied. Dried beef cure: Get tho tender side of the round out of n good fat beef. For every 20 pounds of beef, take ono pint of salt, one teaspoonful of salt- peter and one-fourth of a pound of brown sugar, Mix these well, rolling out all tho lumps; divide into three equnl parte and rub well into the beef for three successive days. Turn beef daily in the liquor it will make, It should not mnlce much, but what there is rub into and pilo on tho beef. Rub n little extra snit into tho hole cut for the string to hang it by. At the end of a week hang in a dry, rather warns place, till it stops dripping, then in n cooler dry place. Do not smoke it; it spoils the flavor. Before flies come in tho spring, wrap in paper, and put it into a stout bag with n string out to hang by. Il it molds some through the summer, scrape and scrub the mold off and always trim the outsido before chip- ping. Headcheese: Trim all meet from the head and soak overnight in water con- taining a little salt, Then cook with hearts, tails, tongues and feet, or any of tho other trinttnings that you do not have other use for. Cook until the ment can easily bo separated front the bones, Dip off liquor and chop ment fine. Return )Hent to kettle, sea- son to taste with salt and pepper, cover with liquor and boil about -15 minutes longer. Pour the mixture into a shallow pnn, cover with cheese- cloth and weight down.

An especially useful and practical division of the Dominion Experiment- al Farms is that of the Illustration Station, of which last year there were no fewer than 1411 in operation. Eight are located in Prince Edward Island, 13 in Nova Scotia, 17 in New Bruns- wick, 38 In Quebec, 8 in Ontario, 8 in Manitoba, 23 in Saskatchewan, 10 in Alberta and 14 in British Columbia. Where possible, superintendents of Experimental Farms and Stations have charge of the work and in other places supervisors are appointed, all practical, competent and experienced men. The idea of the Illustration Stn - tions Is by actual demonstrations and guidance to aid the farmer in every branch of agriculture and to take di- rect to hint what experiments, re- search and experience have taught. For this purpose, the Illustration Sta- tions are located on privately owned farms best situated to allow the farm- ers in the district to observe and note what is going on. New or improved varieties are introduced and surplus sood is sold to adjoining farmers, Last year in this manner Mr, 'J. Filter, •Chief of the Division, in•his report, just published, states that 20,948 bushels of seed grain, 8,636 bushels of seed potatoes, and, 9,399 pounds of grass and clover seed were disposed of, Fertilizer for Potatoes.

Spain, Italy, Czecho-Slovakin, New 'Zealand, Australia, India, Burnish, Egypt and the United States are countries which have aleeudy signified their intention of participating in tho World's Poultry Congress to be held I In Ottawa in July, 1927. Many morel acceptances will follow the issuing of I the official invitation, which will got from Canada to over one hundro:11 governments, Tho first Congress, held nt Tho llaguo in 1021, was OM first 1Vor:d Congress of any body of investigators to be calved after the war, 'Chis no doubt helped to bring more official attention to the "hen," particularly so because of the place, she took as n food producer during tho period of Short supplies front 1914 to 1918, Tho president of tho World's Poul- try Congress in 1927 will be Mr, Ed- ward Brown, F.L.S., of London, Eng- land, who is president of the Inter- national Association of Pou:try in- structnrs and Investigators, He has recently visited Canada, and in speak- ing of these Congresses described tho first at Tho Hague as n wonderful example of organization, and the sec- ond nt Barcelona last year as wonder- ful from tho standpoint of its exhibi- tion. Tho standard has been set, and Canada must make the third Congress in 192' an outstanding example of what an international congress should bo, and In addition try to let the dele- gates see and realize that Canada is a nation—young it may ho in nation- hood—but, one whose ambition knows no limitations, and whose hospitality is offered wholeheartedly. Tho Congress crest depicts n fowl standing on the world, which may be taken ns emblematic of tho position enjoyed by poultry to -day. Poultry is more widely bred thnn any other class of livestock, and poultry products find a place in every home, Such an in- dustry is worthy of the fullest recog- nition by the government of the na- tions. It is to -day receiving that recognition, and the World Poultry Congresses are an evidence of this, Enthusiasm and realization of Can- ada's opportunities and responsibil- ities are necessary tn, success in 1927. Ono paper has said, "The whole of America is behind thin undertaking. Tho statement is true, but the respon-I sibility for making the Congress at success, for making the delegates feel at Monte and wanting eventually to, stake Canada their home, for united effort by each and every province, and; for welding another link in the chain of poultry progression, rc,its with spect, Canada.

Fall plowing has given much larger yields on clay land than spring`'plow- ing in experiments at the Central Farm, described in the Report of the Dominion Field Husbandman, In 'one case the fall plowed land produced 14.01 tons per acre of corn as com- pared with 9.14 tons by tho spring plowed land. In fact the fall 'plowed land gave somewhat larger yields than land plowed in August and again tho following spring, or than land plowed in August and ribbed up in tho i porimental Farnm, Ottawa, tatoes, then multiply by eight, and A Congress committee is being cut oft tho right-hand figure, Tho formed in each province, and the re- sante rule works for apples.

"And my rug doll, Arabella," said Knthnrine, "And a broomstick," snid little John, "I don't care whether Arabella is in it or not, hut I do want a broomstick." "Once upon a time," said Unclo John, "there was a broomstick. Ile was a tall, thin fellow, who looked exactly like any other broomstick, and he lived in one corner f o a grocery store." "1 guess it was Mr. Parsons's," said little John, '"None other," suid Uncle John. Mr, Persons has a store And sells a lot of things; Ile does them up in packages, Ho ties them up with strings. Mr, Parsons has 11 broom, Tho broom it has a stick. And with the two ho keeps his store Extremely span and spick. "I don't see what my rag doll Ara- bella can have tb do with a broom- stick," said Katharine. "Be calm,"- said Uncle John, "and you soon will," "I suppose," said Katharine, "It 'was something that happened some day when Mother had taken, me mar - !toting, and I had taken Arabella." "It was something that may hap- pen," said Uncle John. "And after it has happened, this is the way people will tell about it. Katharine, they will say, had left Arabella on the counter just over a barrel half full of sugar, and Mr, Parsons was just about to fill the barrel by emptying another half barrel of sugar into it. Mr, Par- sons had lifted up this half barrel of sugar, for he was a strong as wellets a merry groceryman, and was just about to pour it into the other half barrel of sugar." . • . "Arabella fe:l in!" cried "Jimmie, "Arabella fell into tete, sugar," ""Tho way it looked," said Uncle John, "was as if just as Mr. Parsons `lttnrted " to pour tho sugar Arabella jumped oIT the counter into the bar- rel, And .Mr. Parsons couldn't stop pouring. 'Dear met Dear me!' saki Mr,'Pnrsons, 'Tho do::'s hl the sugar barrel!'" "Way out of sight,!" said Jimmie. 'iArabelln was completely out of. sight," snid Uncle John, "And there stood !Catharine and her .mother and Mr. Parsons all looking Into the' sugar' barrel. And then Mr, Parsons; who; was not only strong and merry but, thought quielcly in an emergency, looked about for something to get Arabella out with. And Itis cyo fell on tato broomstick, So he got ' the broomstick and washed it nice`y with, soap and water, and dried it on tho roller towel in tine hack room, and i puehed'it down in the sugnr,-and.je4 round ti:! he found Arnbella, And then he poked Arabella over to one side of the sugar barrel, and then he got the end of the broomstick under Arabella • and lifted and lifted, and presently Arabella come out of the sugar so that Katharine could reach her.' And what do you think ICatharine said?" "What did I say?" asked Katharine? "What did she say?" asked little John, "She said, 'Oh, you sweet thing!'" said Uncle John, Plowing Wide or Narrow Furrows. i.n oxperiments conducted at the Central Farm comparisons have been nada between • p' -owing furrows 8 inches in width and plowing 10 -Inch furrows, Tho yields have been prat•. Heftily as largo with the wide as with the narrow plowing, according to the Report of the Dominion Field I[us- hatndman, distributed by the Publica- tions Branch, Dept, of Agriculture, Ottawa, It should bo emphasized, however, that in both wide and Har. row plowing it is necessary to do n good job, cutting and covering all the lnnd and not allowing the plow to jump out of the ground and leave parts unplowed. ,Careful Egg Packing Pays.
