Mitchell, of Dahinda, Saskatche- wan, intended to try to win back the wheat crown at the Internatioual Show at Chicago, the New York Sun recent- ly published the following editorial under the hendiug "Who's Who In Wheat":— Montana supplied to the world its champion wheat grower last year when l.. P. Yates, of Fishtail, In that state, captured the title at the Inter- national Grain, Hay and Stock Show in the autumn in Chicago, but Canada does not Intend to let the honor stay south of the international boundary if its farmers can drag It north. The Dominion now announces that J. C. Mitchell, of Dahinda, Saskatchewan, who has already been cock of the walk three times ,will be a contestant this fall. Mr. Mitchell was not In the con- test in 1925, but he will bo on the shore of Lake Michigan this year. This international competition was instituted fifteen years ago, and Can- ada has taken the blue ribbon thirteen times. Seager Wheeler, of Rosthern, Saskatchewan, succeeded In !letting top place five times. Nobody else touches Mr. Wheeler's record in this achievement. Canada's hope this year has a typi- cal pioneer's history. He came to America 1n 1906 from Manchester, Eng- land. He did not have any capital. He took up n quarter -section of land forty miles from the railway and went to work. Now he farms 800 acres and is asking the C'anadiau Department of Agriculture to register a new potato he has developed which appears to be all that a spud can aspire to be. To- day a railroad crosses the Mitchell farm and the homestead Is a show place. Mr. Mitchell has spent very little time telling other persons that there Is no chance for a man to -day. He went out and made his chance. And he did not make 11 by loafing during the wheat seasons either. Big Family of Settlers. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Stundebeck, from Minnesota, have recently settled in the Humboldt district, Saskatche- wan, with nine children ranging In age from two to 19 years. They bought 960 acres of farm land in this district and came with several thousand dol- lars in cash and effects and farm equipment valued at $8,500. They made the trip from their home in Min- nesota in a motor car and motor truck on which was built a house largo enough to hold the big family, which is the modern style of covered wagon or prairie schooner In which settlers of to -day make their migrations, Its the old days the ox or mu:o-drawn covered wagon took clays or weeks to cover long distances, whereas now the motor driven prairie schooner makes the journeys In hours or days.

British Landscape Spoiled By Ugly Modern Houses England is becoming worried about Its countryside The English country aide Is famous, not only for its lovely landscape, Its hedges, meadows and parklands, but also for Its picturesque oottages, many of them hundreds of years old and of historic origin Many of these cottages, nestling close to the ground, their thatched roofs blending with the contour of the land, are now decrepit; and one by one they aro disappearing, to make way for modern houses of practical but ugly design. Post-war real estate "de- vatopmente" are sweeping away whole colonies of old-time English homes. Agitation against this "vandalism" has finally producecd a definite move - Imola to check it. A number of lead- Iing societies, Including the Royal Ste dots' of Arts and the Society for the Protection of Old Dulldings, is raising a fun of ;260,000, to bo added to from time to time, which will be used to repair and preserve all worthy ex - I amploa of rural architecture, so far as It is poselble. The fund may shortly be supplement- ed by the Government, which is con- templating a new 'housing bill, As foreshadowed, by Neville Chamberlain, , the Minister of Health, loans, will bo ;provided for the repair of cottage pro - j party.

A novelist, seeking nocturnal ad- venture, loafs one night upon a bonch in Hyde Park, London, Coming to- ward him he tccs n little man carrying - a huge bundle on his shoulder.- .._At .Victoria Gate the man is challenged by a policeman, curious to know the contents of the buudie. At first the little ratan is impudent but finally' tells the policeman he is on his way to his barber shop In Acton. In the rack he has a wax figure of a woman. Out of curiosity the novelist follows the mne to learn whether he is speak • itis the i: nth. When the man turns into a d:rectlon of poslto to the route to Acton ho challenges him. The nov- elist offers the man five pounds if he will report with hint to the police An - tion. IIle notices thnt the man's finger nails are stained with machine oil, NOW GO ON WITH TIIE STORY. A glow of hate hung in his eyes; if he had had a weapon I should have suffered; Indeed, his arta made a movement as if to strike, but he real- ized that I had eight inches and 40 or 60 pounds weight to spare. So the shoulder I held struggled, then sub- sided. In a sulky tone he said: "I had to tell the cop a tale. I don't see no 'arm in telling you I ain't a 'air - dresser. I'm an engine cleaner," "That's better. Well, whet do you want with this lay figure, then? Aro you going to make a mascot of it for an engine?" "Still, you're telling lies, and taking risks for it. You seem rather attach- ed to it. You tell are you paid ten shilling for it?" "Yes." "That's cheap; at least I suppose so, never having bought one myself. What do you think it's worth?" "Oh, I dunno." "Let's walk along and talk about it" We went toward the west. "Think again. How much do you think it would cost new?" "Couple of pounds." "Would it indeed? Look here: I've taken a fancy to it. I'll give you five pounds for it as it stands." "I ain't selling." "You're not selling for five pounds a thing you can buy new for two pounds. Really this is very interest- ing. The police ..." "Oh, 'ang it. There you are, talk- ing about the cops again," "I've got to. You've stolen that thing. You're a thief." "Oo are you culling thief?" "You." In a low tone, I added: "If you tell me the truth I'll let you off. But, just ono more lie, and I'll hand you over," There was a silence. Finally the little man cleared his throat, and in a gentle tone said: "Look 'ere, guv'nor, you don't want to be 'ard on a pore working man. You say you went to buy the thing. Well, I ain't so fond of it. I don't mind selling it, but I couldn't let it -go for five pounds." "How much do you want?" "Say a 'undred pounds." I lnughed: "Now, my man, I'm afraid you've given yourself away. Tell me why this figure's worth a hun- dred pounds. Otherwise, off wo go to the police station." There was a struggle in the man's mind. He probably thought of bolt- ing, for he moved toward the road, hut I stepped on the other side of him, Then he must have decided to trust me, for in a gloomy tone he murmur- ed: "You're a gentleman," At last, with fine frankness, he said: "I'il toll you all about it, But I can't do it 'ere, Someone might comp along. I'll show you something. Let's go up that' street." Ho nodded toward Inverness Terrace. "There'll bo garden or something." I followed him In silence, until we reached an empty house, We were fortunate; the front garden was separated from the road by tall shrubs. Behind some of those we established ourselves. Again the sack was undone, the ghastly boauty"ox- posed, looking strangely human and surprised, "I got aomo swag in 'ere," said the man. Fact is, a friend of mine and, me, wo cracked a little crib to -night, Do you know Charlie Vill, the bar- ber?" "Of course I know Chnrlevillo," In- deed, this was the name of tho most fashionable hairdresa in London, whose shop has stood at the corner of Bond Street for over half a century,, "Well, it's like this: Charlie Vill1 ain't only a barber. He does it bit of business with the fashionable dnmes while he's doing their 'air; now and: then one of thom gets into a bit of a mess, cards, and champagne wino, all that sort of thing, You know," ho went on with a confidential smile, "Sol they get short and want to raise a bit o' money on somatjting. That sort of woman, she won't want to bo seen coming out . , ," "Of a pawnbroker's. I understand." "You seo what I mean, They takes all sorts of stuff to Charlie y'iii, Jew- elry, gold plate, kniok-kitaoks what they pinch in their own drawing -room, And ho lends them money on 1t, Oh, 'e's a fly customer; cent per cent., that's what he charges them." 1 "I follow. You and your friends' indulged in a litt:e burglary rat' Charleviao's to -night, But I don't quite see why you took this young lady away with you." "Well, it's like this, guv'nor. I ex- pect you've 'ad no experience of crib cracking. If you 'ad, if you'd done a stretch, sante as I have, all along o' being careless like, you'd know that it don't do to go about London o' nights carrylug n sack full of money, and j things like that. You got to be care- ; ful. So when we'd got all the stuff together, my mate and I we didn't quite know whet to do; there was jewelry, that's nothing; one can put that in one's pocket. But there was lots of other stuff; gold snuff-boxes, silver sauce boats, combs all over dia- monds. It would have broken my 'enrt to leave it. So my mate, 'e 'ad an idea. We got 'old of two of these 'ere figures; the inside of the stand is "Wo shared out and each put his half in a lay figure." empty. So we shared out, and we each put our half in a lay figure, Then we put 'eni into tho sacks which we'd brought with us, because you never know, and off wo goes, each our own way. Like that, when the cop started asking questions, 'e didn't tumble to it," Ile pointed to the ground: "And there's my 'elf, If you say the word, you can 'ave it for a 'undred pounds." It wns very tempting to arrest the man forthwith; no doubt, by this means all the property would be re- covered, since tho other man could bo found. But I felt curious; after all, I knew many ladies who had their hair done by Chnr:eville; some were hard up; one of them had recently received from me a few valuable little presents which it would bo amusing to identify. So I said: "No, I'm not going to buy a pig in n poke. I don't mind doing a little business with you: if you think tho stuff's worth it, I'll give you a hundred pounds; I can't get caught, so I don't mind." He twinkled, recognizing a fellow crook, dragged at the canvas that was roughly nailed to the bottom of the figure, pulled it off, thrust his hand face. He fumbled in the recess, took up the figure, shook it; then, his mouth fallen open, he turned to me and said: "There ain't nothing in itl" • 11. For a moment the air was filled with the thin sound of his misery, When, however, he had said about a dozen times that he didn't know how it could have happened, I decided to bo a little rougher with him. "Look here, my man," I said. "You've tried to play a dirty trick on tae. You've tried to get a hundred pounds out of me by making me be- lieve that in this figure there was a lot of valuable stuff, and ..." "But there was," "Don't talk nonsense," "It must have dropped out," He searched the sack furiously, "What sort of fool do you take mo for? How could the things fall out when you'd nailed the canvas bottom on again? There never was anything in this figure; the only thing that up- sets me is that it's hardly any use handing you over to the police, since you haven't got any stolen goods .. . but of course you've got the figure; that's probably stolen goods. I think I'll gaol you for this," "Don't do that, guv'nor," implored the little man. "I think I know 'ow this 'appened. I'm a bigger fool than anybody'd think and I'll tell you for why, I put the stuff in with my own 'ands, Would 1 tell you a atory like that if it weren't true?" "Indeed I don't know." "What do you think I'd toll you I cracked a crib for 1f it weren't true? Ain't the sort of thing a cove boasts about to a stranger is it?" "That may he, But you say you think you know how it happened?" "Well, guv'nor, I don't know, but I think it must 'ave been like this, 1 took my'alf, and my mate took 'is'alf. We each got one of these 'ere figure:t off the floor. I filled mine. I 'ad to Because you really live with, your Lace Curtains, they should be Laundered in LUX EVERY hour of the day you see them.

There was about a dozen of them figures there, waiting to 'ave 'air on. What I think's 'appened is that I picked up one of them lay figures that was empty. And mine, what's got the stuff in it, is in Charlie Vill's back shop now, Oh myl this is a go!" "I shouldn't wonder," I remarked, "It seems very likely, I suppose you were in rather a hurry." "One always is in a 'urry in our business, My mate 'ad been nearly two hours opening the safe, and it 'ad got on my nerves like. When I'd got my figure full, I didn't 'ang about, 1 can tell you. I just 'opped it." Once more he expressed his misery, his re- sentment against fate, until I stop- ped hint. "Look here," I said, "this is all very well, but the fact remains that you've left the stuff behind, and there's no chance of you're going to get it." "Of course there ain't; it's too lato now; I 'aven't the nerve to risk it, and as for to -morrow night, they'll 'ave 'alt a dozen watchmen, with 'alt a dozen guns, so that it don't 'appon again when it's already 'appened."

IBOYER, For some reason or other poultry; writers steer clear of the subject of determining tho ago of fowls, They; may not know of a method, or they may ho afraid of advancing their pot theories, I don't know that I blame them, for I have searched and Search- ed the poultry hooka and magazines hut can find nothing, or very little,, that might bo taken as a guide, Once in a great while I have gath- ered a little data, and 1 have boon on the lookout for a number of years, It may be that there is no way; but then, on second thought, why shouldn't there bo? If wo can tell n horse's age by his teeth, why not the hon'B by some outstanding mark? First, there are the spurn. For years folks relied on the size of the Spurs, But I have found that that does not always hold good; besides, it is seldom we find a hen with spurs, and wo aro more concerned with the ben's age than we are with the cock's. In looking over some old English writings, 1 find that tho old Ent,*lash Game hens sported spurs just like the mules, and some of the five -toed breeds of hens found in Kent, Sussex and Surrey had spurs, and even do to -day, Anyway, this spur business applies to the male sex, and in excep- tional cases to the female sex. ANALYZING TIIE SPUR, The spur, like the horn of an ani- mal, rests on a bony part—the core— and is covered by a bony sheath which increases more or lesn in length every year. But the growth of theespur can bo hastened, or it can be checked or retarded by some accident. I had n cockerel that showed a spur large enough for a two-year-old bird; and I also owned a cock in which the spur never advanced beyond the cockerel stage. So there was no telling the ago by the spurs in those birds. Ordinarily, however, a cockerel that is not over five months old seldom has any spur, but if we look closely we find a scale that is somewhat larger than the others, at a point where the spur is to grow, In time this scale rises, and n knob is formed, at the centre of which there is a clearly defined point. When a cockerel k seven months old this spur may he one-eighth of an inch long, and four months later it will be about five-eighths of an inch in length, generally straight, with a rounded end, At two years of age, this spur may measure from one inch to one and one- eighth inches, with a curve upwards, or downwards. A year later it may bo from one and three-eighths to one and one-half inches, and have a curve, the end usually turning upward. Tho growth of the spur continues all through life, but the quickest advance is made during the :atter part of the cockerel age. After the third year the growth is very slow, but the spur becomes harder and thinner, I have had cock birds which; when four years old, had very long spurs, and in some cases t'htiso spurs curved or rolled upon themselves, So while spurs may bo our best guess in determining ago, there still is no nhsoluto guarantee. The next, clue I discovered was the color of the log. This is supposed to vary with ago ---a block leg becoming bluish, a yellow leg becoming pink or white, n gray or mottled leg becoming blue, and a pink leg turning red. Tho turkey leg in black when the fowls aro young, but it reddens corutpicuously as the bird grows older, The red color shows that the bird is no longer young, but how old it docs not tell. And in tho case of the yellow -leg her, .rho white or pale leg may indicate ago, or the pato color may bo clue to heavy egg production, as authorities on cull- ing would have us believe, Wo do know that with pullets the scales of the logs aro smooth, shiny, fine, hardly visible, very soft to the touch and hugging closely and firmly to tho leg. But each year these scales income wide►• and longer, and rise lit- tle by little, until finally they become hnrd and tough. Yet while by these scales we can distinguish the hen from the pullet, we have no guide to show us the years -old of the hen. Along comes it Canadian writer who tells us to look at the skin. If the flunk feathers of a young hen are pushed apart, he says, a silky,•long, light, extremely -thin down will he Been growing fairly regular *between the other feathers, which cover all parts of the body. IIe says the skin is of a uniform tissue, fine and pink, covered with a network of very fine, bluish veins. When the hen is over a year old the down and veins have disap- peared, and the skin is of n dull white eolor, dry, not so smooth or elastic, and somewhat mealy. A GOOD METHOD. ITero is n method which appeared in print some years ago, which sounds good: A six -months -old pullet, and even until it is 14 months old, will have the first secondary feather in its wing, near the nxile feathers, shorter than the rest, and the quill will be more central, bending in a short point, slightly prominent, There is but one secondary feather on each wing presenting these char- acteristics until the next molt, after which the second feather is also short- er than the others. In other words, after the fall molt, when the fowl is one and one-half years o:d (by which time the feathers are fully developed), there will be found two secondary feathers having the characteristic markings, a:though the bird completes its second year only the following spring, After the second molt—that is, when three or coning three years old —there are three shorter feathers in each wing. After each succeeding molt one more feather comes in short- er. What' is your method for determin- ing a.fow:'s age? THE SANDS OF TIME "Grannie," said Julia, running into the house excitedly, "Mrs, Eastman says sho doesn't want any more of her gooseberries, and that if you care for what aro left on the bushes you aro welcorne to them." "That's very kind of Mrs. East- man," said Grannie, looking up from her sewing. "We shall certainly en- joy the jam. You'd better go over tiow, Julie; they ought to be picked pat once, Take the big basket that }tangs under the stairs and a straw- berry basket. Then you can pick into the small basket and empty into the Urger one." Julia's. face fell. "Do I have to pick all tho gooseberries, Grannie? There aro lots of bushes, and they're so prickly!" "You like the jam, don't you, dear?" answered Grannie, "and I'm'going to make the jam, you know." "Yes, Grannie, I do," said Julia, giving her a hug and kiss, "and I'll pick every ono of them, you'll see, and I won't grumble another bit!" And off she ran. But when sho got to Mrs. East- man's gardens and counted the bushes —ten of thein—and looked at a:1 the berries hanging among the prickly branches, she didn't feel ,gtdite so courageous. She started on the bush nearest and picked a few berries. :Then sho lifted up the branches, one .71by one, to see how many more berries worn hiding underneath, Then she heaved a little sigh and set to work again. Somehow the little basket seemed to f1' 1 very slowly, and she couldn't he:p thinking how many mom bushes there were after this ono, and the task seemed endless. • Just then Mrs. Eastman came into the garden, holding a queerly -shaped glass, It was round and flat on top and bottom like n circle, and sloped to the middle from both ends, like two funnels .meeting in a point, and ono part seemed full of find sand, "hero's an hourglass, Julia," sho said, "Perhaps it will make the pick- ing easier. It takes the sand just an hour to run down from tho top half to tho bottom through the nar- row space between. Watch it run. It 'doesn't hurry but it doesn't stop. It just keeps right on and on, a few 'sands at a time, and almost before you know it, all the sands have run through, the hour tuts gone, .you turn the glass upside down, and tho•sands start running again," Julia took the glass and watched the sands falling, a few at a time, "They just keep right on, don't they?" she said. "What is it for, Mrs. Eastman?" "It was used for counting tinge be- fore there wero any c:ccks," answered Mrs. Eastman. "We'll set it on this stump where you can watch the sands run while you pick. When they have run out, you can turn the glass over and they'll start afresh." So Julia started picking again with the hourglass'for company, and things did go much better, Instead of count- ing the bushes or looking at the un- picked berries, she tried to keep up with the hourglass. L1 no time at all, it seemed, the little basket was fuel. Twice sho turned the hourglass. But before it needed another turn, the bushes were empty and there were seven quarte of lovely gooseberries in the big basket, "It was fun, too, Grannie," sho said, au sho showed the basket and told about the hourglass. "I wish we had one." I "Now that I think of It," said Gran- nie, "1 believe there Is an hourglass in an old chest up in the attic. We'll .have to find it." And they did. .itulia used it again when she topped anti tailed the berries for Grannie. And when the jail was made, she took Mrs: Eastman a jar and toad her what fun it was keeping up with "the sands of time," Fun in the Old Swimming Hole. Boys, did you ever talc or sing under water? It is great sport and another boy will he able to hear you very plainly quite some distance away. Here's how it is done. Place a wide- mouth pail over your head and sink dowel into fairly shallow water. The air in the pail will keep out tho water and have a tendency to pull you to the surface again, so it is necessary to hold on to a rock or something at the bottom of the pond, Now start to sing in loud, clear tones, or call out the -other boy's name. When this boy puts his head under the water some dis- tance from you he will hear tho song or his name very distinctly, as water is at very good conductor of sound waves. Candy Girls at Our Fair, i When the Woman's (;:ub 111 our town asked tho Girl Guides to tako I charge of tho candy table at their; annual fnlr last year, we thought it WAS going 'to be a tremendous task.1 We held n sleeting to discuss ways and' nncana, and while we were trying to think up n new kind of booth to build, Frances Alcock had a brilliant Idea. "Why have a booth nt all?" she naked, "I've noticed that the girls who take the candy round among the crowd in basket;+, ea they so often do, sell lots more than wo who stay be- hind the vomiter. Why don't wo plan to sell ours that way?" And that's what we did. Seven of the girls were asked to he sale9 girls and circa:ate among the crowd with their wares. Each girl wore a costume, and the igen made a • great hit. Margo Smith was the cutest little Chinese girl, with her Smooth black hair, with two hugo paper chrysanthemums tucked behind her ears and wearing Miss Sear's lovely red Mandarin evening coat. She sod T'nng flu T.n, the candy the Chinese children love to buy. We read about It at the library and then made it oureelvos as near like theirs as we could. It consists of several pieces of candied fruit and nuts run onto little sticks. W0 used toothpicks, candle cherries, dates and walnuts. Tho girl who sold the prolines was dressed like a colored mammy, with a big gay apron and a bandanna, She blackened her face, We just asked the folks who were going to make fudge to drop it in round wafers in- stead of slaking it in squares for her to seal. Maud Perkins made the prettiest Scottish lassie, with plaid skirt and short stockings, and she sold "toffles," which included caramels. Another girl dressed in a short white dress, with long curls, n blue sash and socks, was a French doll and sold bon bons. Frarces was the hit of the evening in her cambric parka and hood, as an Eskimo, A girl in a Swiss costume, a full red cheesecloth skirt, white blouse and black bodice, sod sweet chocolate, And we made the Turkish paste that Mabel Elliot, in scarlet trousers and fez, sold from her tray. It was not hard. The recipe called for a box of gelatin, a cupful and a third of water, two cupfuls of sugar and half a cupful of fruit juice. To make it, bring two-thirds of a cupful of water and the sugar to a boil and add the gelatin soaked in the rest of the water for a few minutes, and boil slowly for twenty minutes. Add the fruit juice, turn into a tin pan wet with cold water and let stand over- night, or until firm. I)ip the pan in hot water, turn out on a board, cut in squares and roll in powdered sugar. Some of us used orange juice with the grated peel and some lemon juice and made n pretty ye:low paste. Strawberry juice made pink paste, and one of the girls colored hers green with vegetable coloring.—Ella Pea- body. Does Trap -Nesting Pay? One of the important matters which every commercial poultryman must decide at some tinge in his career is that of whether or not to install and use trapnests. The decision is often the turning point around which a large poultry business builds success or failure. If one can first determine what trap -nesting wi:I cost and second what it will return, the answer should bo fairly easy. Trap -nesting is costly where any great number of 'hens is concerned. The nests cost considerably more, and more are usually required for ench,100 hens, because the traps are visited only at stated times, and a hen can- not leave the nest when she pleases, but must wait to be released. The time involved in making the regular trips to the trap -hosts is con- siderable, even under the most effi- cient arrangement. It is not unreas- onable to say that tho number of hens ono man can properly care for will be reduced at least one-half if he decides to use trap -nests. From trap -nesting one gets a very nearly accuratk record of the exnct number of eggs laid by each hen in tho flock. This makes possible a careful sort- ing of the hens on the basis of actual performance. However, except from the standpoint of one who is tryieg to learn how to judge hens, it is question- able whether trap -nesting for this purpose is worth while or worth any- where near what it costs. When one adds the cost of leg bands, record forms and additional clerical) work it is clear that the cost of get -1 ing a trap -nest record is high. Unless the record is used as part of a definite pedigree -breeding program it has little value. Hens can be sorted for production with it very fair degree of accuracy� without the use of trap -rests; and in the long run it is infinite:y more lm - portant to know what kind of sons and daughters ti hen will produce than' to know how many eggs she herself will lay, Summer plowing is not a pleasant subject—that is, if you have to use hones, Tito stubble ground is most always hard, the weather is hot and the flies are had, A tractor duen't mind hard ground and hot weather -1 and if it is n good tractor, there aro no flies on it. The point is, though, ground for fall wheat ought to be plowed as early as possible. The later you wait, the hewer the yield will be not, year.

Many homes are called semi -bunga- lows simply because their exterior ap- pearance suggests that the habitable second floor area is not equal to that of the first. Really, with the excep- tion of this rather insignificant detail, they aro to all intents and purposes two storey houses absolutely lacking 1n any form of semblance to bunga- lows. When one remembers that the chief characteristic of the latter type of home is ground floor bedrooms, the why and wherefore of the application of the term semi -bungalow to any one ane}a halt or two storey houses having all the bedrooma on the second floor is a bit perplexing. The floor plans for this house show that ono of the bedrooms and a bath- room are on the ground floor. There are two more bedrooms and another bathroom on the second floor, Bo that while the bungalow idea Is not quite getting an "even break" it is at least a compromise and one which assures much comfort and convenience. The foundation of stone or concrete is finished off with a dressed stone course above grade. The walls from the top of this atone course to the cor- nice line aro. veneer construction in rug or tapestry brick with white stucco gables. Stained cedar shingles lain on asbestos paper provide an attractive and serviceable roof. The central entrance opens into a good sized stair hall which gives direct access to the living and dining rooms. Tho kitchen is well lighted and laid out for the convenient arrangement of cupboards, refrigerator, etc., and also has convenient and direct access to the front door. Opening of the vestibule Is an outside lighted and ventilated 1 coat cupboard. The living room opens into a good Boy Fodder in a Barrel. Clams, green corn, fish, potatoes, game and almost anything good to eat can be cooked in a barrel after this fashion: Find a clean barrel and wash it. Gather clean grass or something of that nature that will not give tho food a bad taste. If it is dry, wet it. Build a good -size fire and heat enough stones to fill the barrel about one- quarter to one-third full, Place a thick layer of grass in the bottom of tho barrel. Drop the stones itn with a pitchfork or shovel. Keep a layer of grass between the hot stones and the sides of the barrel so"ns not to burn the wood. Cover the stones thickly with inoro grass. Put in a layer of corn or game, or whatever you have to cook. If them are several kinds of grub, put in a layer of each, with layers of grass between. Fill the barrel and cover it with two or three thicknesses of burlap or other heavy cloth. Tack it tight around the edges. In a few minutes the barrel will be spouting steam from every crack. In an hour boy fodder will be done to a turn. Potatoes and meat need more cooking, Enough food for twenty boys can be cooked in one barrel, When to Sell Cockerels. A somewhat novel test has been tried out at Cap Rouge, Que., experi- mental station. Tho object was to ascertain whether it pays better to sell surplus cockerels ns broelers, as fryers,, or as roasters. For 'three years forty-five cockerels of broiler size, from 1% to 2 pounds each were put aside each season. Fifteen were sold immediately, fifteen were kept until they averaged about four pounds each and the balance were sold around the middle of November, Tho fryers and the ronsters respectively gave for , the fifteen 80 cents and 5,43 More profit than the broilers, Dr. G. A. Langeller, the superintendent of the station, in his report for 1026, snye that tliough it is too early to arrive at definite conclusions it must not be forgotten that no account was taken t of housing room or of the poultry - man's labor; also the average price of I 48 cents per pound for broilers on July ; 12 was low compared with 81 cents for fryers on August 27 and 26 cents for roasters on November 15. ' Awaiting further data Dr. Langelior suggests! that farmera would probably do better 1 to sell all surplus cockerels at as early a date as possible. 141411 rd .:1 sized verandah, and the ground floor bedroom has conveniently arranged cupboard and bathroom, and is veil aultablo for the owners' room. On the first floor the bedrooms are fairly roomy and have good cupboards and ready access to the second bath. room.

Sew small chamois leather to the centre of a dusting cloth. Articles drawn up by tape or elastic are usually tiresome to wash. This is easily obviated by putting t1 small safety -pin at each end of the elastic, the artic:o can then be drawn out to full length and ironed. Tho pins will serve as bodkins to draw the tape as required. Boil new clotheslines before using therm. They will last longer, Get an old sunshade or umbrella, strip off the cover, enamel the frame white, and hang it by the handle, from a hook in the ceiling, over your cooker or range. You have a splendid drier ;or air•er which will hold a large quan- tity of collars, hnndkerchiefs, etc. It can be closed when not in use. i When dyeing stockings o1' socks also put into the dye a smaa quantity of darning wool, To make taint sauce quickly and Basi:y sprinkle with granulated sugar before chopping. A piece of zinc nailed over half the kitchen table, makes an excellent sur- face for chopping onions, etc., and can be easily cleaned, -Try adding mustard to butter before spreading sandwiches. Mildew on cheese can be prevented if a lump of sugar is placed in the cheese dish. If n piece of cheese Is carefully wrapped in a cloth wrung out in vinegar it wiii neither dry nor gather mold. To make boiled. bacon really deli- cious, told to the water a teaspoonful of vinegar, 2 cloves and a nutmeg. To keep a doorstep while in wet weather use plaster of paris instead of whitening. To prolong the wear of gloves place a small piece of cotton wool in the tip of each finger and thumb, To prevent jams growing moldy on top soak the parchment rounds in milk. To prevent milk from burning sprinkle a little sugar over the bottom of the pan before putting in the milk. To stop cabbage from boiling over put a piece of butter or dripping the size of a walnut into the water as soon'as it comes to a boil. To prevent soiling tho woodwork when cleaning brass knockers, etc., make n shield of stiff cardboard by cutting a hole the sane size and shape as the brass plate. To prevent cakes from burning place a shallow tin filled with salt at the bottom of the oven when bak- ing. To loosen glass stoppers, rusty screws, etc., pour 011 a little vinegar, then turn sharply. To hide nn iso:ated fruit stain on a fresh tablecloth cover with a piece of white stamp paper. Lemons will keep fresh for a con- siderable time if covered with water which is changed daily. Paint can be removed from windows with hot vinegar. Paint brushes which have become hard will soften if im- mersed in hot vinegar. To prevent grease from splashing when frying put n piece of bread in the pan and fry at the same time. If a little common sn:.t is put round the top of a candle before lighting, it will not drip at n:l. If one has cracked eggs on hand and no time to poach them, wrap them itt a twist of tissue paper and boil in the usual way. The dirtiest frying -Dan will comp clean if soaked for t1 few minutes in ammonia and water. To prevent salt lumps in a shaker place a few grains of rice in the shaker. To prevent silver from tarnishing put a few pieces of camphor into the drawer, To save time in hunting for spools of cotton, thread there n:1 on a wire (ordinary cotton -covered wire not string) and form into circle, Thur every thickness and color is nt hand,' and the thread will run quite easily. r; The grinding of the food in tho giz- zard may be heard by placing the ear close to the body of the fowl ut_nlght, while it is on the roost, Why doer. paper roofing wrinkle so after it is lain? IIero is what one plan ' thinks about it and how ho deals with the difficulty: The wrinkling is duo to heat expansion after the paper has been put on.

Religion is sometimes advertised in an undignified way A •?, preacher once remarked that if he would -4 stand on his head in the pu'pit he would . have no trouble drawing an audience. \ And if religious services are advertised as stunts and amusing perfnrmances, they may draw the crowd, but the crowd that comes from that motive does not gain much. The campaign above referred to purposes avoiding such tnethods. Their advertising will be of good publicity in that it will give information, it will pre- sent the truth, and will remind people o things they have forgotten. Most people believe in religion, but have forgotten how valuable it is and they need some re• 41 minder. But better than all advertising and more di vaiing to the soil is to Iktin to a minister wh' m vu are Fure has been called to peach the gospel of the Lnrd Jesus Christ, that he 'has entered on a di- vine mission, drawing Ii courage arcl in- spiration from a divine source.

The family first located at Clinton, later woving to the vicinity of Blyth. He was married to Miss Emma Eno, of Hullett, in 1896, and afterwards resided at Stratford for a coup- le of years. He had followed the occupa- tion of mason and was employed at Soo and other points, finally moving to Ed- monton, where his wife died in September 1914, the family two years later returning to Blyth. He leaves to mourn his loss, two daugh- ters, Mrs. Wm. Routledge, of Sault Ste. Marie and Mrs. Irvine S.

Tho mudefklpper or walking -fish, found to tropical African rivers, climbs the roots of the mangrove trees and makes his way along the muddy banks, tieing lets fins for legs. This fish is going through the same process that mil- lions of years ago resulted in life moving out of the sea onto the land. Secrets of Science, By David Dietz. Probably the most important single step In the evolution of life from our viewpoint is that life expanded from the ocean and took possession of dry land. All lite Is dependent upon water. 'Man Is just its much dependent upon 'water as is the fish. Without water, wo could neither di - .gest our food nor breathe. We think of breathing air. But the air must bo dissolved in the moisture In our lungs before we can snake 1150 of it, Creatures which live in the water absorb the air dissolved in the water. Tho fish does this hy, means of its gills. Tho gills aro thin membranes through which the air dissolved in the water is absorbed and taken directly into the blood. There have been many different in- vasions of the land by life from the water in the early history of the earth, Tho first was probably that of plant lite. Curtain sea plants which grew near the shorn were left without water when the tides receded, At first these died, but gradually plants developed with tougher outer skins which enabled them to hold more moisture within thems61ves and thus to exist for periods away from the ocean. Animals followed plants In the exo- dus of the sea, 13ome of the scorpions which crawled about the ocean bottom -mtide their way onto the land. These developed gills sunk far back into their bodies wvher'o they were protected from the rapid evaporation of the moisture. Crabs developed armored coverings over the gills which served the same perpos0 and enabled therm to leave the esu, Tho invaslon of land by worms is im- portant tor It is the constant burrow- ing of the worm which lod eventually to the making of fertile soil upon the land, Certain ones of these worms are also believed to have been the an- cestor of present-day insects. But the most important invasion of the land was the invasion by the fishes. In the case of the fish, the gills were gradually replaced by a haglike growth from the throat, the primitive lung swimming -bladder. Fortunately wo have an example still on earth to -day of how this came about, in Australia there aro certain rivers which dwindle to shallow pools in the dry season, Isere we find a fish known as the iung•flsh, which, when the water 4n the pools becomes stagnant and the air dissolved in thein becomes ex- hausted, rises to the surface and gulps air, Similar lungfish are found in parts of South America and Africa. An ancient fish like the prosont-day lung -fish is among the early ancestors of man, SUMMER NEAT HARD ON BABY No season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little cues as is the summer, The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand, the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes ho is ill, Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantutn, dysentery and colic aro most prevalent.

Tho fact that mouth infections and dental sepsis cause a vast amount of 111 health is now generally recognized and the value of a movement which will tend to prevent tooth decay and pyorrhea will bo appreciated by the general public. The popularity of the effort is demonstrated by tho fact that all the prominent health, educational and social welfare organizations in tho province, are co-operating in a most enthusiastic manner. Ono of the 'activities being organized is the pro- viding of free dental examination and advice; over a thousand dentists will have a part in this survey and it will be extended to every part of the pro- vince, In every section of Ontario those who desire will be able to get the service and in a number of districts free Xray pictures will also be avail- able. Tho general public educational cam- paign will consist of newspaper ar- tielos, motion pictures and radio talks. Public meetings and mass meetings for school children will also be held. The service clubs aro giving prizes. to the children writing the best essays or pre- paring the best posters on Dental Health.

Sangster, Poison Ivy. Ivy poisoning Is so prevalent this summer, It leads ono to auk: How many people know this plant, "the worst vegetable, skin poison in Ameri- ca?" It is native to Canada and Is commonly found in hedges, in dry woods, along country roads and, all too often, even In city parks, Poison Ivy Is a low shrub. The leaf is large, re- sembles that of the Virginia Creeper but is divided Into three distinct leaf- lets; 1t is of a bright green color which changes to autumnal shades. Children are quick to recognize it, and should not go where It is liable to be found until they can recognize it and know the danger of touching it. In the city of Hamilton the Horticul- tural Society, co-operating with the School Medical Officer, supplied a specimen of the plant to each of the city schools; this was used for teach- ing the children to know the plant and how to treat ivy poisoning. Cattle can eat poison ivy without any ill-effects, but dogs are poisoned by it. When a human being IR affect- ed, it shows as an inflammation of the skin immediately or within a short time after coaling in contact with the leaves, although Fome people are so susceptible that they aro affected if they merely pass the plant and do not touch it. The poison can also bo car- ried on clothing, tools, etc. What to do: Treatment must he prompt. Hot solution of baking soda, Qr vinegar, or salt (4 tap. to 1 pint) are recommended, as they are easy to get 1n any household. Good strong yellow laundry soap (because of the antiseptic action of the potash) is most helpful when used promptly to wash the parts affected; it is a wiso Precaution to carry a piece of this kind of soap in your pocket when going for a tramp in the woods, and to use it freely after an outing. In severe cases, apply clean cloths soaked in hot boracaic acid (4 tsp. to 1 pint), changing frequently.

The King and Queen of Great Britain and other members of the Itoyal Fami- ly, according to "The London Daily Mall," have subscribed to purchase for preeentatlon to the dean and chapter of Westminster Abbey a unique edition of Rudolph Ackermann', "History of the tbboy Church of St. Peter, West, minister," published In 1818. The work —one of the most splendid examples of an illustrated history --belonged un- til reoentiy to descendants of the All- nutt family, a member of which bought it from Ackermann. The history came to the notice of the Queen while she was visiting the premises of a firm of fine art dealers in London, and when informed of the interest which had been aroused since It came on the market her majesty Immediately expreesed the opinion that the proper future custodians of the two volumes should be the dean and chapter of Westminster Abbey. The edition which the members of the Royal Family have bought contains the eighty original drawings for which Ackermann commissioned eight lead- ing early nineteenth century artists, among them Pugin, White, Mackenzie and Thompson, The drawings, each singularly beau- tiful, aro Inset in vellum and depict views of the exterior and interior of the Abbey and the architecture in dlf- torent periods.

Her Experience May Help Chatham, Ontario. — "I want to tell you how much good your medicine has done me. Be- fore my baby • came I felt so weak and run- down that I could hardly do my work. M head ached cont My and I was so dis- couraged that I could cry from morningtiilnight. I had another baby just one year -nd a half old and t gave me a lot to 'do. So I thought 1 would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as 1 had read so much about it in the little books, I found a difference right away as my head was relieved and my tired feelings gone. My sister had been doing my washing and she continued doing it, as she said it might set me back if I started to do it again. It sure did help me and I had taken just two bottles when my baby came. He is a fine big boy, now nearly five months old. I am taking your medicine again and I am able to do my work all by myself now. I always recommend the Vegetable Compound to women, and especially to expectant mothers, as I believe they need help at those times."— Mrs, Oi wEa MENAHD, 64 Center St., Chatham, Ontario. p ahrom.rwawit •-• la ?AGE 6 -THE BLYTH ST ANDARU-SeptcmLer 2, 1.926 x++++++++++++++++++++44+414 4. 4.
