There’s a field of in terest for yop. It’s an education in itself to watch a cat play with a mouse. Observe just how far they will let the mouse get away, and then with ’a couple of well timed jumps they'll push the little creature over! and over and after rolling the day lights out of it, they’ll allow the mouse to stagger around and in get tings its bearings make another hope less dash for freedom. Does the cat have some streak of jungle cruelty dating back to the early ages when tigerish ancestors were the bane of the animal world? SuchansUch, our maturing -pup was industriously digging a new hole in the flower beds for the bone he had unearthed for a few digestive chews after the evening meal. Mother Nat ure never explains but should one of our leading magazines sign her up some time for a series of informa tive letters on her ways, I would like it very much if she would break down and confess why every dog has that pesky habit of burying bones in a good lawn or flower bed. Its inter esting nevertheless to ruminate on why all dogs have this inclination. A great man once wrote “He who lets his mind be idle lives an empty life.” Down here at Lazy Meadows I find that my life can be filled from morning until night. Leisure was not made for a man to be idle in both 'mind and body. There's the greatest contentment in resting the body and allowing the mind to delve deep down into the little nooks and crannies where the greatest treasures of men tal resources lie hidden, awaiting the call to come forth.

Complete Lubrication Comfort and Safety MOTORING ON COAL GAS New Engine Which Does Away With Petrol British Members of Parliament are shortly to be shown new types of motor car engines driven by high- compression coala gas which, it is claimed, operates as efficiently as en gines driven by either oil or petrol. Evolved at the National Gas and Oil Engine Company’s works at Ash- ton-under-Lyne, England, it is believ ed that the new engines may well re volutionize the fuel aspect of road transport. The importance of the development in wartime, when supplies of import ed fuel may be precarious, is realised in Government circles, where a keen interest in the new engines is being shown. A scheme for rationing rol in war time will be enforced. Already the United Kingdom Corporation is investigating the sibility of setting up gas-filling .tions in various parts of the country. These will refuel gas-driven lorries and gas-driven motor vehicles from cylinders containing compressed gas or from gas compressors on precisely the same principle as that used in putting air into tires.

MacLeod, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Dept, of Agriculture, Toronto. Toad Flax is a deep-rooted, persis tent perennial with erect wiry stems. The leaves are stalkless, linear, with out teeth or divisions. The flowers are about one inch long, pale yellow, dense clusters. ■ The weed propagates by seeds and rootstalk’s ajid is general throughout the province, especially on light, shal low soils, meadows, pastures, road sides and occasionally in grain fields. It spreads rapidly and complete erad ication is imperative. Badly infested pastures and mead ows, pastures, roadsides and occas ionally in grain fields. It spreads rap idly and complete eradication is im perative. Badly infested pastures and mead ows should be broken up and a short rotation with deep, thorough -cultiva tion followed by a hoed crop, smoth er crop or grain crop. Do not reseed until this weed is eradicated. If pro per cultivation is followed, it should be possible to kill this weed without the loss of a crop. Chemical spraying is recommend ed where cultivation is impossible. See your district weed inspector or write the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont.

Everyone living in this old world has plenty <6 become interested in. There’s never a neecl for anyone to say, “I wish something would happen.” Open your eyes and you’ll find a great many of the most interesting' things going on all around you. I was sitting on the back kitchen stoop smoking today and basking in some warm September sunshine be fore going down to the barn. It was then that it really struck me that the average man’s eyes are blinded to the greatest mystery and the most inter esting thing on this earth. That’s Mother Nature herself. Have you ever watched the contin ual round of life that goes on among the ants in a wood yard. If you look Closely you will see on a miniature ■scale a faithtful replica of any great city. In place of swift autos and lum bering truck's and busses there arc ants, all busy about ,their business. Watch for the mothers out for a glide with their young . . . the lum bering, working ants as they indust riously carry food or building mater ials . . . the slick, dandies that look to be selling stock . . . the lovebirds parading together . . . and so many others. In the distance was ’the “honk honking” of geese winging their way southward. Have you ever thought as you watch their drdcrly V-shaped flight of what instinct makes them go south each Fail? Have you ever tried thinking of the grandeur of scenery which they pass over on their pre destined southerly trip. Or perhaps you might consider the hazards of their trip to a warmer climate. Nat ure prepared them for the seasons By giving them a natural instinct to fly I DECREASED DYING FROM TUBERCULOSIS To-day the average white person at ages up to 25, has about one chance in 30 of eventually dying of tubercu losis. Barely 20 years ago the chanc es were twice as great. This is en couraging information given by one of the great insurance companies op erating in the United States and Can ada. This change is due to the un remitting efforts of anti-tuberculosis societies, physicians and philanthrop ic people working on this continent. As is the case with many affections the chances of eventually dying of tuberculosis for males of any age are substantially greater than for the av erage female of the same age. The chances of an eventual death for the 1 newly-born males are 35 in 1,000 while for females they ace but 25 in 1,000. For both sexes the chances in crease slightly as the child grows old er and readch a maximum of 37 in 1,000 at about 15 for the boy and 26 in the 1,000 at about 10 for the girl, At age 35, out of every 1,000, 32 will eventually succumb to tuberculo sis, while for females of the same age this disease will eventually claim 18 out of every 1,000. Tuberculosis still has an attraction for persons of mid dle age for at age 50 the figures for males and females are 23 and 13 res pectively. The foregoing marks a distinct ad vance over conditions prevailing in 1920 when 65 out of every 1,000 new ly-born males and 58 out of 1,000 new-born females were doomed to die. In 1037 the corresponding fig ures are 35 and 25. Practically the same rates of •improvement arc PPted-' for the older agds for each Sex, All these figtires hte fbf tvhhe people and isauce 2 5 Scouts Prevented Blaze That the Boy Scouts are continual ly on the job was indicated quite re cently, when two members of the Clinton Rover Scout crew by giving timely warning prevented a serious fire. Returning from a fishing trip up Wroxcter way they noticed smoke tistng from the side of the road and on investigating found that a brush pile had caught fire. They promptly notified the farmer who owns the ad joining fields and thctt assisted him in extinguishing the fire. 2 1 Boil the pineapple juice with a piece of lemon rind.
