HEAVY FALL OF WET SNOW
MAKES TRAVELLING
DISAGREEABLE
Looking at the weather this, Wednes-
day Manning, one remembers the cold
spell of last week, and almost - wishes
it would return,
Late Tuesday, and apparently all
through the n ght, a heavy, blanket of
wet snow fell on this district, and by
all anpcarances• may keep it up most of
Wednesday, Streets are heavy as the
wet snow piles deeper and ears are get -
Cue' stuck,, . Very probably concessions
and si leroads are clogged. The hydro
keeps flickering, and with the wet snow
heavy on the wires, it may go off any
moment.
Cold, frosty weather may be hard on
the coal tbin, but as a rule it eliminates
the rossibil'ty of too much snow, and
We believe tends towards better health
than mild, slushy weather.
The regular meeting. of the Young
Adult Club, which was held on Thins

of Goderich, presented the results as
a hushed audience listened. Mrs, Saun-
ders spoke at length, offering friendly
criticism as she reviewed the portrayal
of each part in the six plays. She crit-
icized the stage settings which did -not
portray the proper setting for smile of
the plays, but this was due to Jack of
experience on the part of the sponsor-
ing group, as Mr. Spciran admitted.
She also critized make-up of some of
the actors, \who appeared too youthful
to portray their parts properly. Dic-
tion-, clearness and stage manners also
counted i11 their judgement.
The Play, "Bird On 'The Wing," pre-
sented by special permission of The
Samuel French Company, of Toronto,
by the Londesboro Young People's Un-

\\rhat weather! Night before last we couldn't sleep because of the
high winds, rain and thunder. Last night the weather forecast was for
zero temperature — but it only got down to 8 or 10 above in this
district — which is far better than having it so unhealthily mild, Anyway
we don't think we have anything to grumble about — not when we turn
on the radio and hear reports, from other parts of the world, of earth-
quakes, hurricanes and an avalanche. By comparison we are lucky —
except that even here we have one volcano to worry about — World
War III. We know it is seething and boiling on the inside — will it
erupt and send its scorching lava to all parts of the world? That is a
question that no one seems ,able to answer right now. But we all know
that when a volcano shows signs of activity within it generally ends
up with an eruption, There are also times when the trouble inside
quietens down and remains quiescent for a long, long time.
Well, I have a promise to fulfill. Because of the extraordinary
interest sitowi► in the Boer War song, I told you if I ever did get the
whole thing I would include it in this column, NovtI have it — and
how I got it is most interesting. One of my readers sent it — she had
it among iter clippings — and it had been cut from the old Toronto
Globe at the time of the Boer War! Not only is the poem interesting
but so also is an editorial on the b;icl: of the clipping — apparently there
were plenty of armchair critics even in those days, It says—"Ladysmith
is not defensible at all since Boer guns can be mounted from high
ground in three concentric circles and brought to bear against the
Britisli camp, Neither Ladysmith nor Glencoe ought to have been occu-
pied but some position south of Tugela and nearer the seas , , , , the
British Staff has exposed itself to the risk of serious defeats — now
a force of 150,000 men will be required before the two republics can be
conquered and held." '!'here was more than that but all pretty Watch
along the same line — all of it critical. But now for the poem—
"THE ABSENT-MINDED BEGGAR"
"When you've shouted Rule Britannia, when you've sung "God Save the
Queen. When you've finished killing Kruger with your mouth
Will you kindly drop a shilling in my little tambourine
For a gentleman in khaki ordered south?
He's an absent-tninded beggar and his weaknesses are great,
But me and Paul must take him as we find him;
He is out on active service wiping something off a slate
And he's left a lot of little things behind him.
Duke's son — cook's son — son of a HUNDRED kings
Fifty thousand horse and foot going to Table Bay
Each of 'em doing his country's work, and who's to look after the
things
Pass the hat for your credit's sake and pay — pay — pay!
{, *
There are girls he married secret asking no permission to,
For he knew he wouldn't get it if he did;
There is gas and coal and vittles and the house rent falling due,
And it's more than rather likely there's a kid,
There are girls he walked with casual; they'll be sorry now he's gons,
For an absent-minded beggar they will find him:
But it ain't the titne for sermons with the winter coming on—
We must help the girl that Tommy's left behind him,
Cook's son — duke's son — son of a belted earl,
Son of a Lambeth publican — it's all the same today;
Each of 'ein doing his country's work (and who's to look after
the girl?)
Pass the hat for your credit's sake and pay — pay — pay.
There are families by thousands far too proud to beg or speak
And they'll put their sticks and bedding up the Spout,
And they'll live on half o' nothing paid 'em punctual once a week,
'Cause the•man that earned the wage is ordered out.
He's an absent-minded beggar, but he heard his country's call,
And the regiment didn't need to send to find him.
He chucked his job and joined it — so the job before us all
Is to help the home that Tommy's left behind him.
Duke's job — cook's job — gardener, baronet, groom —
Mews, or palace or paper shop — there's someone gone away.
Each of 'em doing his country's work (and who's to look after
the room?
Pass the hat for your credit's sake and pay — pay — payl

Let us manage so as later we can look him in the face
And tell him — what he'd very much prefer —
That while he saved the empire his employer saved his place
And his mates (that's you and me) looked out for lien,
He's an absent-minded beggar, and he may forget it all,
But we do not want his kiddies to remind him
That we sent 'em to the workhouse while their Daddy hammered Paul
So we'll help the home that Tommy's left behind him. , , , , , , , ,
Cook's home — duke's home — home of a millionaire —

RUDYARD KIPLING
So there you have it, friends — and judging by the length it's little
wonder no one could reuneniber it all, Incidentally you will notice is "Son
of a HUNDRED kings" An here is an interesting item. One correspond-
ent tells etc that Kipling wrote the verses specially for sotne organization
that, was trying to raise money for the folks "the absent-minded beggar
left behind hint," 11was recited with great effect, by one of the leading
actresses of the 'day, at a big meeting in London. The musical setting
came later.
So now 1 think that takes care of "The Absent -Minded Beggar" --
and thanks a lot to those who helped in the hunt.

As your children grow, the
prejudice will probably lessen
considerably.
But the fact remains that for
you to consider such marriages
has shocked yot:r grandparents
more deeply than you can know.
It is likely that they, too,
have weighed the importance
of the difference in faith, and
the social future of the children •
that may be born to you. Also,
they are wondering how wel-
come you two - will be in the
families of these lads, - and
whether you will be forced to
adopt their customs and tradi-

accordingly, (Have van stet

fact that you ttvo, at 16 and
18, take a long chance that what
you feel is really a love that
will last, through the years, at-

Mule Stuff
"As stubborn as a nude" they
say, but the common belief that a
mule will not work unless stimulat-
ed by a whip and srong language,
was rejected during the war when
Wren of the 14th Army had good
reason to praise it.
In the steamy heat'of the Burma
jungle where trucks could not pass
and horses died front heat exhaus-
tion, the mule plodded on, carrying
ammunition and vital supplies.
To -day the mule is dying out.
The tractor has taken over its
tasks,
The stafetuent that "a mule will
do the work of six horses" may be
true, but a tractor will (lo the work
of twelve.
The mule is a hybrid, a cross
between a horse and an ass. Male
donkeys are called jacks and fem-
ale donkeys arc called jennets.
The cross bctwecn the jack and
the horse mare produces the mule,
while matin a stallion and jennet
produces a hinny.
A mule resembles its father in
appearance and its mother in size.
A mute will not only cat coarser
food but will thrive under condi-
tions that would kill a horse, He
twill find ruuttgli to cat w,u,c any
other animal save a goat would
starve to death.

,Korea's Great Gifts
'To Our Gardens
Writing ,in 'J!orticulture,' Leo -
pore Bingley, tell about Korea's
,gifts to gardeners, Onc of them is
the hardy spirea blooming Tike a'
floral fountain, which graces many
..an Ontario lawn in spring—the
Korean bridal wreath, And with
larger flowers and more spreading
growth than the Chinese variety,
two .of our hest forsythias, opulent
with golden blossom, also origin-
ated In Korea.
In 1902 n plant hunter explor-
ing Korean waysides came upon
a flowering shrub with rose-
coloured buds and waxy, pure -white
flowers. Its fragrance was clean
and spicy, the • essence of spring
Itself. No flute was est in intro-
ducing the plant into North Ameri-
can gardens where it seems to have
taken kindly to soil and climatic
conditions, It is the mayflower
viburnum (Viburnum carlcsi). 111
his book on Plan( Hunting, Erocst
Wilson says that if Kofea had give»
us none other than this lovely
plant, that land would merit the
lasting graittude of gardeners.
"Let me state emphatically," he
adds, "the species is a native of
Korea only, and unknown in China
or Japan to which coudtries it is
persistently referred , , It has
accepted our soil and our climate,
added beauty and fragrance to our
lives, but, in the beginning, the
Power which distributes plants to
mankind ordained that this parti-
cular bit of loveliness should grow
wild only for those people who
lived in the Land of ,horning
Calm."
One of the gents of the barberry
family is a native of Korea, and
can be recognized by its leathery
leaves, sometimes reaching a length
of three inches. It produces flowers
in inch -long racemes and its
berries are a radiant red to brighten
autumn days in the garden.
Waysides and gardens in milder
zones south of the border and in
British Columbia, have their spring
days glorified by masses of rho-
dodendron blpssoms. English lanes
and hillsides arc adorned, with the
great Bowel's produced . on the
salve lofty shrubs. Many of the best
varieties' originated In Korea, One
of them, distinguished by its pure
pink blossoms, • was found by the
earliest of Korean plant bunters,
Ilaron Alexander Schlippcnbach,
in 1854, Ile found the shrub which
has beeu named for him growin/
in tens of thousands oil clic lower
slopes of the Diamond Moulitains,
Another gorgeous rhododendron
with fragrant flowers of rosy -purple
delighted plant hunter J. G. Jack
when he discovered it growing on
Mount Poukhan, near Seoul, in
1905. Seed was collected in quantity
and taken to the United States
where it. flourished.
Korea in peacetime is a rich
field for plant exploration, and
Ernest _Wilson writes glowingly of •
the treasures found there. Lilac
time, which for many gardeners
and flower lovers is the crowning
glory of spring, owes Much to
Korea. It was Wilson who intro-
duced the earliest of our lilacs to
bloom (Syringa oblata . dilitata).
Open panicles of flowers, pink and'
fragrant, distinguish it, and it has
foliage dark and leathery which in
autumn days brings a second joy,
for it colours brilliantly,
In recent years fall gardens,
lengthening the season of bloom
most gratefully, have been gay
with a host of new chrysanthe-
mums. Many of them are Korean
hybrids, It was tlic good fortune
of hybridizer Alexander Cummings
to stumble across a wild Korean
species with white, daisy -like
flowers, which became a receptive
and pliant species for breeding.
This Korean daisy became the dom-,
inant parent in the development of
of many recent i►ybrids, But the
list of Korean originations in other
plant varieties could go on .indefin-
itely.
Speaking of our debt to Korea,
Cummings writes: "Korea, asso-
ciated with much of our fine gar-
den material of today, looms large
in the history of garden chrysan='
themums, both ancient and recent.

Make Your Spring Hat a Spring Tonic
BY EDNA hRL11:8
IN sprung,a young woman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of hats.
But the .wisest pf women direct their attention towards the
often troublesome matter of selecting headwear long before the
first daffodlllpokes its head above the ground.
A hat can ,make or break your spring outfit. It must at once
suit. your personality, tie in with the color of your ensemble, flatter
your features and enhance your general appearance.
Too often women are swept off their feet by a single virtue in a
hat. For example, while the color may be a perfect match or con-
trast,
the shape of .the hat may leave much to be desired.
Picture hats, 'for instance, are particularly complimentary to

women with long slender faces but do little for naturally round
faces.
Hats with horizontal lines, like the one at lower left, are a boon
to unusually tall women but a liability for women who are short.
On the other hand, turban -type hats aid high heels in coming to
the rescue of women who wish'they were a little taller.
In choosing the color of your spring hat, don't trust your. memory.
11 you want the hat to match your outfit, take a swatch of material
with' you on your hat -shopping trip.
And,. above all, ask yourself how long you will truly •look for-
ward to wearing the hat. When you try Won, does it seem to give
an 'added lilt to your step?

New Light On Question Of
What To Wear In Cold Weather
Prof, M. E. Barker of the Uni-
versity of Arkansas dispelled widely
held beliefs as to what makes cloth-
ing comfortable,
Piling one layer on other layers
doesn't do nearly as much good as
we think, he finds, Two layers of
cloth do not -give twice the insula-
tion value of one layer, but only
about one and one-half times as
mueh. ACC011iinti to Barker, there
is little the insulation
value of a piece of cloth whether
it is n►adc of wool, cotton, rayon
or any of the synthetic fibers, so
long as the thickness, structure,
color and density are the same, He
assumes that • the cloth is dry and
'that there is no wind. Heat loss
through damp fabrics is from two to
five times as. great as from the
same dry fabrics,
In ridiculing the notion that many
layers of fabric arc preferable to
few, well chosen, Professor Barker
pointed out that Eskimos wear only.
two relatively thick layers of cloth-
ing weighing together about ten
pounds. On the other hand the
Artily, to get the sante insulation
value, uses approximately thirty
pounds in some seven layers. Pro-
fessor Barker nevertheless approves
of the Army's idea for the reason
that when multi -layer clothing is
worn, it is mulch easier to shed
some garments and thus adjust the
insulation to the amount of heat
that mast be lost during periods of
exercise. Besides, the insulating
value of cloth increases more rapid-
ly than thickness, tip to about one-
fifth of an inch,
Compromise Needed
Barker holds that the well-dressed
outdoor man should'establish a good
compromise in lightness, economy
and' warmth,- This can be achieved
with moderate - weight, closely
woven synthetic fabric for under-
clothes; a really closely woven thick
wool cloth (24 ounces) for shirt
and trousers; a thick quilted coat
of mixed wool •and feathers, and an
outer windbreaker in the forst of a
parka of two layers of water-
repellent cloth,
The windbreaker should be made

of cloth so woven as to stop ordin-
ary wind current yet allow the
body's normal perspiration to es-
cape in the form of vapor. If the
cloth layer next to the warm skin
becomes damp, the heat loss is
nearly as great as if all the clothing
were wet, On the other hand, a
wet outer layer has much less ef-
fect in increasing heat loss, Keep,
unde;Iclotig dry and you will be
t m orta le, is Barkers admoni-
tion.
Barker regards the body as an
engine which can generate enough
heat every hour to raise the temper-
ature. of five pounds of water 100
degrees, This heat' must be' dissi-
pated, The average- adult human
body has approximately twenty
square feet of surface from }which
80 per cent of the heat energy must
be cast off regardless of- outside
weather conditions,
DIfference in Temperature
'he ra?e . of heat loss is influ-
enced by the (jjfference in tempera-
ture between the body surface and
the outside air and surroundings,'
the insulating. value of the clothing
the wind velocity to which the body
is exposed and the amount of moist-
• are to be evaporated of the surface
of the skin. There are also such
minor factors as the compression
or tension of the clothing, the type
of outside windbreaker layer, the
manner in which closure is effected
to prevent stray air currents from
reaching the body surface or from
pentrating the space between the
layers -of clothing that surround the
body, the thickness of the individ-
ual layers of fabric that compose
the clothing, the composition, emis-
sivity and structure of the cloth,
"To be comfortable in windy, cold
weather outdoors," says Barker,
"you must wear dry clothing in
coinparatively thick layers; the
ankles, wrists and neck openings
must be 'closed to exclude thermal
convection currents, and the out-
side windbreaker layer trust be of
closely woven cloth with a smooth
surface, yet it trust. permit out-
ward diffusion of water vapor from
the body,"

New Ideas About
Fertilization
Seldom does a year go by with-
out a gardener trying something
new in the line of plants or their
care. Any method which poves
successful from the viewpoint, of
a better display or saving time is
certain to become a part of his reg-
ular practice, writes E. L. Far-
rington in the New York Times.
New varieties of roses in the 1951
catalogues remind me that I mulch-
ed my beds of this flower rather
heavily with coarse compost last
spring. The results were highly
satisfactory, for few weeds ap-
peared and there was little need for
cultivation. Town restrictions re-,
dnced the amount of water I could
use and although I regard ade-
quate moisture as one of the ' es -
roses,. the plants did not seem to
suffer, All in all, the coarse but
not wholly disintegrated compost
proved as good a - mulch as any ma-
terial I have ever tried.
A neighbor who was committed
to 'organic gardening to the ulti-
mate degree had grown swcetcorn
successfully under a sawdust mulch
for several years. Last summer his
corn refused to grow. The plant'
food needed to meet the demands
brought about by additional bac-
terial activity was undoubtedly not
there. I find that .grass clippings
provide the only mulching material
which does not need to be supple-
mented by extra feeding,
* *
Whether or not my unusually
good yield of• tomatoes resulted
from my use of aluminum foil as a
mulch, I would not know. In other
years, I have mulched with grass
clippings, which I considered a
good practice, but the aluminum
foil may have special advantages.
* * *
Last summer, too, I picked more
blueberries than usual. In past
seasons, the birds 'got more than
their share of berries in spite of
all the scare -away devices I could
find. The robins and starlings ig-
nored all of tltcnm. In 1950, I put
in effect the simple plan of covering
thirty bashes with a gtleat tent
under which i could walk and
work. The tent was made of dis-
carded tobacco cloth in two 30 by
40 foot sections bought for a song,
* * *
The cloth was stretched over
wires held in place by water -pipe
posts six' feet above the ground,
Clotheslines , were stretched front
post to post at ground level and
the tobacco cloth fastened to there
with clothespins. The result in
terms of crop was perfect. To be
sure, the hurricane which carne
along in late summer ripped the
clout into strips but the picking
season wasover then and I can buy
cloth for next year,
Certain planting procedures also
lead to increast harvest. I have
come to the conclusion that lettuce
plants should stand a foot apart in
he row if they are to head well.
In order to gather lettuce all sum-
mer, I grow it in a coldframe,
which is not covered but does give
protection from hot winds.
* * *
Whether fall plowing or' seeding
with a cover crop is the better
practice is still an open question.
One or the other is needed if the
garden slopes, for winter snow and
than is commonly realized. Plow-
ing leaves the ground rough and
probably destroys many insects,
they have been dug under in the
spring, -
* * •*
Early digging or plowing under
of the cover crop is important, A
neighbor ,who planted winter oats
let them grow until they resisted
all his efforts to turn than under
the soil. A power, cultivator was
the last resort. Cover crops may
not be as satisfactory for the gar-
den which is started early. They
undoubtedly retard warming up of
the soil in spring. Yet I continue
to sow rye, perhaps because I like
to look out on that pleasant patch
of green during the winter.

Jersey has two large safes. Onc

$500 Per Night
For "Magical" Bed
A bed fitted with a motor, which
in the morning `pounds the mat-
tress until you are thrown out on
to the floor, is now being made
in Chicago, But novel beds are
not a modern invention.
The main property in an im-
mense fraud was Dr. Graham's
"Celestial Bed," made by him in
1779, Costing $60,000, it was sup-
ported by twenty-eight glass pil-
lars and from its depths came the
strains of vocal and instrumental
music. .
Graham claimed that childless
married couples would have heirs
as a result of sleeping on it, and
for this privilege he charged the •
gullible $500 a night.
Beds which must have given
thicr occupants nightmares were
designed by the ancient Egyptians,
who sculptured their couches in the
forst of animals,
One such bed is half in the shape
of a hippopotamus and half like a
crnrod'le, with menacing teeth made
of ivory,
bad dreams must also have been
the lot of those who slept in. the
bed-rhamher built for Metternich,
the European statesman, in 1820,
Two beds represented a grotto,
on which lizards, toads and bats
were modelled in gilt wood. Placed
in an alcove, they were lit uy a
lamp in the form of an owl, the
light shining eerily through the
bird's eyes. .
Eastern monarchs usc4 to have
beds supplied for the use of more
1ltati two people, and so, surpris-
ingly, did some of our own an-
cestors,
The Great lied of \\'arc, built
in 1400 to the specifications of
Warwick, the King -maker, was .
twelve foot square and seven and
a half feet in height. When it
stood in the "Saracen's Head" at
Ware for a time, as many as 12
people at once used to hire it.
Sometimes beds have played an
important part in public life, Car-
dinal ,Richelieu used to travel in
his.
Six men were needed to carry
the bed, which was so enormous
that the walls of a town had to
be breached to make room
In fourteenth -century England,
when a prince or noble brought his
bride home, a beautifully decorated
bed was prepared by special offi-
cials, After the wedding night, this
bed was given to the officer who
had got it ready.
Beds have often been a source
of inspiration. Alexander the Great
lay on his couch to issue strategical
directions and not so long ago so
did Mr, Churchill.
In bed, the famous barrister, F.
E, Smith, wrote most of his books;
Milton thought out "Paradise Lost"
and Glinka, Donizetti and Rossini
worked on their musical scores.
A pity that on these cold morn-
ings we can't all follow the ex-
ample set by these great'inen,
PERVERSE GENT
One cold morning the native was
seen, dressed in his nightshirt, vig-
orously chopping kindling. His
neighbour, amazed at the brevity
of the old hian's clothing in such
severe weather, asked, "I-Iow
come?" •
The ratan never missed a lick
i11 his chopping as he replied: "For
the last 70 years I have always
dressed by a fire, and I'll be dad
gummed if I'm gonna stop now."

i;vcr since they brought in the
"no overtime" rule in hockey we
have been kicking mildly and, of
course, fruitlessly, We had two
reasons for slaking suck protests.
The first was that the cash cus-
tomers pay to see a contest played
to a finish, and that when a gauge
ends in a stalemate they don't get
full value for their money.
* 7 7
This view, which we arc by no
means alone in holding, was laugh-
ed at by the top brass, lip to a
couple of seasons back most big
league rinks had More customers
than they had accommodation and
if they were satisfied, who were
the rest of us to be squawking?
("The customer is always right"
iliay be the motto in 50111e lines
of business, but in the sports
dodge, the only time he gets con-
sideration is when he starts staying
away in large numbers.)
* *
Our other reason for not lik-
ing the "easy draw" system was
that it increased the possibility of
some tears, sonic time, scraping
into the playoffs without having won
a single game, (You don't think
this could happen? Well, as of this
writing, the New York Rangers ate
just two points out of the fourth,
or final playoff position; and over
one-third of their 41 points have
conie from Mexican standoffs cr
ties.)
► * .y
When this point was brought
up we were informed by all the
high-power executives, and all their
high-pressure mouthpieces, that
supposing they did allow, say, a
ten minute overtime period, there
would. be just. as big a percentage
of draws at the end of seventy
minutes as we now have at the end
of sixty.
* * *
We listened. We held still. And
if some of us were •saying to our-
selves "Oh Yeahl" we were doing
so under the breath. But now it
would appear as if we could say
it -as well as "Sez Your" right
out loud -that is, if statistics re-
cently released by the American
Hockey League have any meaning,
* * *
Officials of the American Hockey
League this season restored the
overtime period "to cut down the
tie gapes." (It is interesting to
note hat the AHL was hit by the
plague of wide open spaces of
empty pews earlier and hafder than
the National.) If neither team scores
in the ten minute extra session
the game is a tie; but it ends im-
mediately if either club gets a goal
before then.
* *
And has it worked? Well, the
nine clubs of the American League,
up to January 25th, had played
only 38 tic games this season. The
National League - which has no
overtime provision and only six
clubs - had played sixty tics.
Maybe President Clarence Camp-
bell of the NHL can explain it as
merely a coincidence, or some such.
Maybe not.
* .,
*
One thing Campbell or any of
the other big league apologists
cannot get away from is the fact
that, one evening a couple of weeks
ago, Chicago Black Hawks played
to a grand total of 6,122 persons
-slimmest crowd since they moved
into the giant Stadium 23 years
ago. Now they're trying to say that
the sole reason or this is the poor
showing that the Hawks have been
snaking this season.
* * *
As to that, Chicago has had
lousy teams for years -more of
that sort than good ones -end yet.
season after season, they enjoyed
sellout attendances. So isn't there
just a bare possibility that there's
something wrong with the game
itself, the way they've tinkered

Losing By A Head - English jockey E. Mumford appeared
to be attempting a headstand as he fell from his mount during
a recent handicap steeplechase at Birmingham, England.'
Neither Mumford or the horse, Culworth Lass, were seriously
injured.
• with it and gimmicked it up, "Too
little and too late" was a states-
man's way of summing up a certain
with it and gimmicked it up? "Too
much and too soon" is our per-
sonal idea of what ails hockey, It's
a great game, although possibly "the
fastest sport on earth" is a slight
exaggeration. But even were it twice
as good a gallle as it is, it still
wouldn't be strong enough to slop
over into the- baseball season at
both ends, and especially in a coun-
try where, to ninety per cent of the
population, it is still an alien pas-,
time. * * *
Which is just what hockey has
been attempting to do.
Go Without Sleep If •
You Want To Get Fat
Research statistics show that
with longer nights you go to bed
a little earlier and perhaps sleep a
little sounder.
Physicists have been puzzled by
the riddle of sleep. Now the
searchlight of science is flashing
into the darkness in which we
spend a third of our lives, The re-
searchers have even discovered the
source of sleep. They have proved
we never sleep like logs and they
declare that we dream every night,
whether we remember the dreamt or
not.
Deep down at the back of the
skull is an organ no larger' than
this printed lettering, It is the
centre of sleep. While we slumber
it is awake and alert. When it
drowses we resume activity.' The
sleep centre must wake before we
sleep. Scientists proved this when
they brought a fine platinum wire
into contact with the sleep centre
of a dog and administered a mild
electric shock. Instead of the dog,•
leaping into startled action, he im-
mediately went to sleep,
9 Medical men have believed for a
long time that drowsiness is caused
by carbonic acid gas in the blood,
consequent upon the slowing down
of the blood stream, They have
watched sleeping persons as in cas-
es in witch the skull has been
trephined (opened) and the brains
exposed to view, The heart beats
more slowly, the blood pressure
falls, the brain is left with a poor
blood supply.
This happens and you arc asleep.
If only we knew how, perhaps we
could measure and weigh that
something in the blood, That the
blood itself becomes charged with
sleep was proved when a dog was
kept awake for a considerable per-
iod, A sample of blood from the
sleepy dog was injected into an-
other which was wide awake.
Promptly the second dog went to
sleep.
The existence of a "Sleeping es-
sence" seemed similarly to be indi-
cated when experimenters subjected
a number of students to wakeful-
ness tests, At the end of four days
without sleep the students were

Some people need less sleep than
others because they sleep faster!
Edison could be content with two
or three hours of sleep because his
physical exhaustion and mental'
tiredness were repaired at a higher
pace than those who need a good
deal of sleep.

"rte-rxantivation" is the hit; %vord
around Ottawa, \Vashington, Lon-
don and various other points; and
perhaps a spot of re-examination
right at honk, and right now, might
not he a had thing for many ('8n8-
(lian farmers to indulge in.
\Vhy not cit down and give a
few honest thoughts to your way
or farthing: Ask yourself such ques-
tions as these; "Uoes 111y method
of farming suit nay type of land;
Docs it make the best 11 c of my
time and labour? 1s it in line with
any ability, also my like; and dis-
lilces??" .

Farming successfully simply de-
mands such 1'c -examinations of old"
methods. You Won't make money
just because you farm as you
always have done. .Plenty of people
found that out thirty or ra years
ago,
"I went along losing a thousand
or more dollars a year," says one
farmer; recalling the years which
followed world \Van' one. ''1110.
I figured that it was just the de-
pression, 811(1 that things were
hound to get better before long."

But that depression lasted close
to twenty year's; and as you'll recall
thousands went broke while wait-
ing for ole( farming methods to
start making 1110110y again.
"Well, times finally did change,"
that sank farmer says now, "and
for tett years you just couldn't
help making money.'.' But from the
tone of his voice, a listener could
pretty well tell that he thinks (111105
may very well be changing once
again,
The exact methods which made
plenty of money in the last, ten
war years may fail you badly now,
as costs continue to rise; The fact
is that comparatively easy times
may very well have introduced
some mighty poor business methods
into farming. So why not take time
this winter to scrutinize your pre-
sent methods? It may take a day,
It may take much longer, But it
also may serve lie keep you pros-
perous and out of financial trouble
in the years to come.

Are you a dairyman— a cash
grain' farmer—a cattle feeder—or
(lo you go in for raising pigs? Let's
try taking each class separately,
(• * 5'
FOR THE DAIRYMAN: The
dairy cow is a huge consumer of
high-quality rough feed, Therefore,
dairying is perfectly suited to
farms that have lots of grass, with
small fields that can be planted to
corn or other crops for silage. It's
the sort of farming for the small
farm with plenty of year-round
labour,
•
For the farmer with that kind of
place—and the necessary buildings
—there is no question about the
sort of farming, Neither grain, pigs
or beef cattle would be as profitable,
But dairy farming is not liniited to
one type of place, Any farm with
good land can be made into a dairy
farm. A large place with rotation
pastures can,produce the bulky
feed. But—anit's a big but—you
must have the labour.
* ,y
The problem the dairy fanner
should give greatest attention is
milk and liiltterfat production per
animal, Recent studies, prove that
one cow producing 400 pounds of
butterfat makes more profit over
feed cost 111811 four cows producing
200 pounds of fat per animal,

So production per cow is sou10-

FOR `I'IIE GRAIN FARM FM:
Rich level land is list fitted for
grain raising, I t tray he almost an
essential on farms with no build-
ings for livestock. It shits the elan
who Has no particular love for farm
animals, or mucin knack in handling
1i1110. Men who like to plow under
big crops of sweet clover or other
green fertilizers can 1nalcc it pay
and still keep up their land. 1f
y'ou and your farm do not fit these
qualifications, you should consider
some change—such as pit; raising,
which is easily started 011 grant
.farms. You Nate the hog fad. Mul-
tiplication and expansion is rapid,
.And it requires less capital than
other livestock projects,
*
FOR '1'111. 110G RAISER:
Raising hogs • is best suited to
farms which produce lots of oats,
corn and legumes, Hogs mostly eat
concentrated foods. Success re-
quires a certain amount of capital
to invest in fences and proper
equipment. Good hog raisers like
the _animals, and so soon learn
how hest to take care of then(.
* *
If your farm produces (log feed,
and you have fairly good luck with
pigs, think deeply before going
out of that line. For it is cstiulate(I
that good hog raisers get front $120
to $1 50 for each hundred dollars'
worth of feed consumed,
However, not all hog raiser's
make that sort of money—or nearly
all of then(, Suppose you only raise
four o0 five pigs per litter, or 810
pestered and plagued by disease
season after season. In that case,
consider some other sort of live-
stock before you are sunk. ,
+ * *
The hog farmer, like the grain
fanner, can shift to either beef
cattle feeding or to dairy faritg.
The switch to cattle feeding is not
too disturbing. But, in either case,
more grass and less corn will be
needed,
Things Were Bigger,
Brighter, Tastier- Then
My earliest recollection is of the
garden and orchard,of 1113' grand-
father's house, The outstanding fea-
ture in this memory is the tallest
tallest apple tree I have ever seen,
apparently of a patriarchal age, but
bearing in great quantities wonder-
ful apples, the like of which I have
never found; golden yellow in color,
pear-shaped and of an unparalleled
sweetness and flavor. I have sought
ill many markets for the lineal de-
scendants of these apples of Iles-
perides, At times I have seen
sonic nearly as golden in true and
pear-shaped somewhat; but the first
bite destroyed hope, Good apples
they,,might be, but not the same,
In this comparison I ant not like
the German woman who, living in
her old age in America, complained
that in this country the mirrors
were very inferior to those she had
used years before in Germany.
Others besides myself have remem-
bered those apples and sought vain-
ly for their equals. Wound all
around this venerable tree Was a
grapevine with coils climbing cold
clutching it from trunk to top
branches, and this vine bore quan-
tities of luscious grapes. Perhaps
the grapes and the apples worked
out some sort of Burbank process

of their own, accounting for the
unique flavor of both, A long loop
of this grapevine formed a swing by
vrhick one might explore the air to
what scented a great and perilous
height.
My grandfather's honk was like
a New England farmhouse, sur-
rounded by e ga:'den of old-fatshion-
e(l flower's, andthere were many
fruit trees. '('here were black ox -
heart cherries and, if memory plays
nuc 110 tricks, cherries, to he al
the:r best, should be eaten in the
tree ou which they grow. There
were bushes of red raspberries,
What I have said of the apples
compared 10 ordinary apples ap-
plies also to the raspberries; but
this comparison of ancient alul mod-
ern ponlology may be influenced by
the former's advantage 1(1 having its
specimens g0 direct to "tile consum-
er, I will concede that the flowers
in this garden may have been no
111000 beautiful than the flowers of
this present (lay and generation, and
that tie butterflies then were not
much L'a'ger or more brilliant 111
color, The bees, however, I ant
sure, wetre bigger and more threat-
ening, and I affirm without hesita-
tion that modern caterpillars and
grasshoppers are unworthy of their
sires. Apparently there have been
changes in the floral kingdom, too.
I never see nowadays such things
as fuchsias and bleeding-hearts.
What they tell ole is honeysuckle
growing around the cottages in
summer resorts, a yellow flower
well enough in its way, is not the
honeysuckle of childhood's happy
'hots', '.['he latter was a cluster of

the sunshine o[ the present, is not
inferior to the mid-Victorian article,
but in our garden and orchard it
had exceptional .material to reflect
upon and consequently appear at its

branches of a cherry tree or from
the higher altitudes explored in a
