Boyle “WHISTLING” had been, storming for a weekIt .and Winter gave its only an odd peek at the cloudy sky before pouring down more snow to swirl up across the roads and .make impassable drifts, We had. spent the night doctoring a sick horse . . . the baby was cross with her teething problems . . . and I had gone down to the roadway to see if by any chance the mailman had made it through with two days’ 'mail. He ’hadn’t, and in one of those irioods when the world looked black and depressing I lingered to light my pipe. Everything Was quiet, as if the noises of the world had been smoth ered by the blanket of snow that lay so deep over everything. The silence was pierced by the shrill and not al together unmelodious sound of whist ling . , . “WheOee . . uh . , . eee . . oh.” Then in a moment the Higgins boy appeared over the hill. They say, that there’s something in whistling just like there is in a con tagious disease. That certainly applied .to the whistling of the Higgins boy . , , and as he came up beside me, grinned and stopped his whistling long enough to say, “Pretty nice day, isn’t it?” * *1 went through the day whistling that odd little tune that didn’t even make sense. But somehow it was cheering and the more I Whistled the less I thought about the troubles of the day. Watch for the man who’s whistling and I’ll venture to say that you'll find that he’s happy. I always think that Spring is a time live Go around a farm on these days and you'll find men doing anything from repairing harness to cleaning grain, whistling away mer rily. Sugar bushes are cheerful plac es too and the bubbling of the liquid syrup in the dark kettles suspended over the crackling fire, the clanking- clinking sound of the sap pails and the sound of men whistling every thing from Old Black Joe to the Blue Danube Waltz, makes a symphony of sound that in my estimation is mighty hard to beat. Whistling came into being when we were lads of about ten years of age. We hadn’t bothered much with it in younger years when our lips seemed too dry and our control of the whist ling ability was very poor. Going on a fishing trip on a 24th of May a full lipped whistle seemed to come to our lips, and for the whole day we fright ened the timid fish away from ani lines by the queerly' discordant sounds which we produced. Tunes didn’t mean anything. We had a little tune of our own that took a great deal of improvising. Grown men who could whistle were great subjects of interest and the questions flew thick and fast as td how a person could get a whistle that sounded like something. Our elders seemed to impress the fact that you had to be born with a musical instinct before you could ever get anywhere as far as whistling "was concerned. Back in those days every comiiiuft; ity had at least one lady or gentleman who entertained at garden parties and lawn socials by whistling through one or two selections. They always had frills on their whistling and trilled off into little side sweeps that were al most majestic. For days afterwards the back fifties rang with the s'ottnd of their imitators. Whistling was always a pastime on the way back for the cows. It seemed to go with a summer evening with the crickets rasping away in the hayfield . . . the bullfrogs croaking out a song to the sun sinking in the western -sky . . . and all the other summer sounds, I never think of whistling as Sir Marry Lauder did when he said he. first worked at a place whore the own er made all his help whistle while they worked. They were picking strawberries. ® Humorous aspects of whistling in clude the “eating a soda-cracker” and then whistling “How Dry I Am” con test . . which is a regular feature of our village fair. Whistling makes you happy . it some t.ime. CLEAN SEED BED . THE BEST INSUR ANCE FOR CROPS Escalloped Onions and Cheese 2 4 4 2 % 1 !4 1 % Melt butter in top of double boiler. Add flour and blend.

A, Derick, Cereal‘Di vision, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The fanning mill, which was once referred to as the farmers’ “plant breeder,” helps to maintain the high, quality of a crop, as well as to offer a means of keeping weeds down to a minimum. The work done by a'fann ing mill is threefold. First, the dirt and trash is removed by the -upper or scalping sieve. Second, the- “wind blast” gets rid -Of chaff and light, poorly-developed kernels. Third, -the small seeds such as pin oats, shrivell ed grain, and weed seeds, are separat ed by the lower sieve. The, power cleaning plants which' are so well distributed throughout the grain growing areas are usually equip ped with modern machines which not only remove foreign matter, small in ferior seeds, and weed seeds, but also grade the sample according to size and separate different kinds of grain. None of the cereal crops requires cleaning and grading so much as oats, which contain large number of small kernels known as pin oats, and many light poorly filled grains in unfavor able seasons. Off-coloured grain, which may give the appearance of being unsuitable for seed, may often be cleaned and grad ed into an excellent seed sample. It is sometimes better economy to clean up- a poorly coloured sample of home grown grain than to purchase seed elsewhere. There is’always the danger of introducing other varities as well as weed strangers when seed is brought in from another source, un less it is registered or certified as to grade and variety. The preparation of seed for spring sowing should not be delayed, for with the usual rush of spring work, the job of cleaning seed may be left undone.
