The solo work of the members was not of as high an order as some re cently heard in the same church but the combined voices of the seven were well blended and excelled in the soft harmonies of their negro spirit uals. Particular mention must be made of the npvel arrangements of the old favorites’ Swing Along, Battle of Jer- ichp, Gospel Train, and Golden Slip pers. The male quartette harmonized in Crying Holy Unto the Lord, and, Little Llze, I Love You, the latter number receiving great applause. In the latter part of the programme the singers were in plantation cos tume and sang many old southern melodies such as, Old Man River, That Lonesome Road, and Old Black Joe. As a concluding number they gave a humorous but quite imitation of the old steam the circus parade. successful caliope in ■ . —■ ■ I I EVENING AUXILIARY The regular monthly meeting of the Evening Auxiliary of the Wingham United .

HOME LAWN (Experimental Farms Note) The term lawn is a general one, but here it is being restricted to refer only to the average rural or urban lawn in contrast with the specialized lawn such as the bowling green or golf course. This distinction is be ing made because certain grasses that thrive under specialized conditions, will not succeed under conditions ex isting on the average home lawn. In order to appraise the value of any grass, it is essential to know the characteristics that air ideal lawn should possess. Briefly these are as follows: An ideal home lawn seeding must possess the ability to produce a firm, even sod, of uniform texture and good colour; it must be adapt able to a wide range of soil and clim atic conditions; it must be permanent, Your local dealer will be glad to1 toll you about ROE Complete Poultry Concentrate Wonder grow Hog Concentrate Approved Dairy Concentrate Approved Breeders’ Concentrate Approved Laying Mash Manufactured by Specialists for Farmers who want RESULTS.

Manning, Belgrave. •lasting over a long period of year; it ■must be aggressive, rapidly colonizing vacant areas, and thus preventing the invasion of undesirable grasses and weeds; it must possess the ability to with stand drought and the ability to thrive without too much attention. Lawn grasses may be grouped broadly under .three general headings, the bent grasses, the blue grasses and other grasses. Of all grasses, Ken tucky blue grass most nearly ap proaches the standard, of the ideal lawn grass. It thrives under a great range of soil ‘and climatic conditions, and is resistant to drougth, but nat urally reaches its best development in a rich, moist soil. It lias been re ported from various quarters as not thriving in acid soil, but this has not been the case at the Dominion Ex perimental Station, Fredericton, New Brunswick, where fertility and not acidity has proven to be the limiting factor. Kentucky blue grass produces a firm even god of fairly fine texture, though of course, not as fine as the bents. It is durable, permanent and aggressive, and requires the least care of any lawn grass. It is relatively inexpensive. It is recommended .as the most generally suitable lawn grass for Eastern Canada. Colonial bent also know as Brown Top, P.E.I bent, Rhode Island bent and New Zealand bent is a non-creeping fine grass generally suitable for the pro duction of fine lawns and particularly suited for mixing with Kentucky blue . grass. Its inclusion with blue grass increases the speed of obtaining cov er and the mixture produces a good dense, hard wearing surface. White Dutch clover should be included in all lawn seedings. A seeding of 2 to 3 pounds per 1000 square feet of a mixture of four parts Kentucky blue and one part Colonial bent is generally recom mended for Eastern Canada. To the grass seed % to % ounce of White Dutch clover should be added for ev ery 1000 square feet of surface to be covered. eagerly sought for and very highly prized. At the present time, howev er, the per capita consumption of sug ar is approximately fifty times great er than that of honey. This difference is rather surprising when one consid ers the comparative food value of the two products, to say nothing of the fact that sugar is being imported, while honey is being exported. Sugar, of course, is largely used in the man ufacture of other food products and. for sweetening purposes, while honey is most commonly used, as a spread to replace jams, jellies, marmalades or syrups. It is rather unfortunate that few housewives realize the fact that honey may be used in whole or in part to replace the sugar required in pratically all recipes, and that when it is so used certain qualities are im parted to the final product that sugar cannot give. In experimental work on the uses of honey in cooking, done by the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, it was found that cakes, cookies, etc., made with honey re mained fresh and moist for a much longer period than when sugar was used, and, where mild flavored honeys were used, to replace the sugar, the flavour of the finished product was much improved. When honey is used to replace sugar in any recipe, it must be remembered that approximately one-fifth of the honey is water, there fore the liquid portion of the recipe must be reduced by one-fifth. An other point to bear in mind is that the sweetening power of honey is at least equal to that of an equal quan tity of sugar. This is important when replacing sugar with honey in the making of soft drinks, ice cream, can dies or like products. Honey can al so be successfully used in the making of marmalade and jellies, and also in the canning and preserving of fruits. Those interested in the use of honey in the home should apply to the Pub licity and Extension Branch, Depart ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, for a copy of Pamphlet No. 161 N.S., en titled “Honey and Some of the Ways it May be Used.” HONEY.
