In other words, it took twice as much pressure to pack flail cut silage. to the same density as chopped silage. Silages cut by the two meth- ods did not differ in, quality as' determined by chemical analysis. However, there was more spoil- age near the top of the silo con- taming lightly packed, coarse-cut fodder. This was caused by more trapped air in the silos with a lower density of silage. * •* Bothered by bats? Bats often establish colonies in attics and walls of dwellings in rural areas and become a nuisance. But, advises the Canada De- partment of Agriculture's Re- search Branch, bats are harm- less and useful. creatures that feed exclusively on night-flying insects, many of which are des- tructive pests. Get rid of the bats, say the researchers, but don't destroy them. An effective repllent is two to five pounds of naphthalene flakes scattered in spaces oc- cupied by. bats. If applied dur- ing warm weather; reports claim, this will prompt 'bats to leave — even 'in daylight. They will stay away as long as the naptha- lene odor persists. After the bats have been evicted, all openings three- quarters of an inch or more in width, such as small crevices • around the eaves and at the bases of rafters, should be filled. Cracki at the base of the chim- ney.should be filled with cement. If these openings •are not closed after the bats "have' been driven out, the supply of naptha- lene must 'be renewed periodi- cally to prevent their•return. Fumigation will kill bats, al- though use of poison gas is rec- ommended'.only as' a last resort. Hydrocyanic acid gas, although highly 'effective, is ,also extreme- ly poisonous to human `beings and should be applied only by a licensed fumigator. Deadly BlossoMs Kill Hundreds In Assam,India, the bamboo. blossoms only once every' fifty years. Tribespeople living in re- mote villages amid dense barn- boo 'jungles dread this event be- cause it brings a plague of rats and this leads to famine. Worst-hit are the Lushais, hill-dwelling tribe, which exists largely on rice crops raised by the women. Valleys, thick with bamboo, separate this tribe's villages, arid last year the bam- boos flowered again. eFearful of their periol, the Let- shais pleaded with the Indian government for aid, But the gov- ernment said that such stories about starvation following the bamboo bloom were mere tribal superstition. But the Lushais knew better. When the bamboos last flowered, malnutrition and disease ravag- ed their villages. And now tribal families are nee again grappling with sitni- let disasters because the rats, which greedily eat the blosaerts, Multiply so fast that they swarm -over .the villages, devouring na- tive crops. Already, more than sixty tribes-people have died. And the. Indian government which ignor- ed warnings sent by Lushnt 'chiefs, has Dist spent $5,000,000 to fly rice and other foodstuffs to the starving villages. The villages. are almost corn- pletely isolated, except for twist- ing jungle tracks, But though besieged by rats and dying be- cause of pestilehce, the Lushai's refuse to leave their traditional haunts, superstitiously believing that :Stich plagues ate the wilt of their gods. .://, ./ d.:.:P:i.. 5 v /: * ONE STEP FURTHER — Beating swords info plowshares is fine. but 'farmer William,A. Weller of Portersville, has gone one bet- ter. He's turned a plow into a mailbox holder. Raising pullets on a restricted ration has all the earmarks of an economical feeding program but there are some disadvan- tages. According to Mr. A. T. Hill of - the. Agassiz experimental farm, B.C., a flock of White Leg- horns raised on restricted feed- ing returned 33 cents more per bird after their first laying year than those on full feeding. In a similar test the previous year the group on restricted feeding returned 20 cents more per bird. • * However, before restricted, feeding is adopted, Mr. Hill says there are certain points that should be considered. Restrict- ing the feed adds to the cost of labor, and the birds are more susceptible to enteritis, black- head, and smothering. * * On the other hand, laying- house losses are lowered and the eggs are larger when the pullets first 'come into produc- tion, thus reducing the number of peewee eggs. Further, the rate of development and start of egg production from early- hatched chicks Can be slowed down. This could be egg' benefit to the commercial egg producer and more praticularly to • the hatchery supply flock owner who is primarily interested in eggs that are large enough for encuba- Hon.

God Desires Steadfast Love Hoses 4:1.3, 5;15-6:6, Istemary Selection: I desired, mercy, and not sacrifice, and the Innowledge of God more than burnt offerings, Hosea Goa through His liosea, re- inked the people of Israel for their sins. In our lesson he Pee cially mentions swearing, lying, killing, stealing and committing adultery. These sins are very common today. False swearing is used to confirm lying state- ments. There is also much of the swearing in the more commonly understood meaning of taking God's name in vain. Go into some buildings where only men gather, such as government buildings, express offices of rail- way companies or trucking com- panies, or sport centres and you will probably hear the names of God and Jesus Christ used its a blasphemous manner a dozen times in five minutes. Murder would be more prevalent if looks could kill'. John wrote, "Whoso- ever hateth his brother is a mur- derer." 1 John 3:15, As for steal- ing, large stores expect to lose a lot that way, not only from customers but from their em- ployees. Adultery is increasing. In Hebrews 13:4 we read, "Mar- riage .honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremon- gers and adulterers God wilt judge." Many youth are ignor- ing this order and are indulg- ing in the intimacy of marriage before marriage. They thereby defile themselves. Israel was carried into capti- vity because of their sins.

Meet the bottle-nosed dolphin. a slVedy (up to. 35 knots) and small (5 to 14 feet long) member of the whale family. Known popularly as the porpoise, this mammal has been under obser- vation since 1049 by neuro- Physiologist John Lilly, wiles( work is financed by the Office ol Naval Research. Five years ago, Dr. Lilly sent five dolphin brains to Johns Hopkins University for extensive study. Though the analysis is not completed yet, Dr, Lilly said in Washington re- cently, it is clear that "man is no longer at the top of the heap as far as brain structure is con- cerned." According to Dr. Lilly, "the cell counts in dolphin brains are the same as our own per cubic centimeter. This means their brains are not only larger (by 40 per cent) but first class as well." The Johns Hopkins brain study backs up Dr. Lilly's own inde- pendent findings about dolphin IQ: They are fast learners — only one lesson is required to teach them to avoid electric shock by flipping a switch with their beaks. More fantastic, Dr, Lilly found that dolphins not only talk to each other in a lan- guage of whistles, squawks, and buzzes ( their voice can weave twenty identifiable noises into thousands of complex "words"), but can even imitate English in Donald Duck voices, All of which makes Dr. Lilly wonder about "the intriguing possibility of intellectual com- munication' With this aquatic ani- mal. This research can give us . . . . experience in dealing with extraterrestrial creatures — if we. ever meet them." But he doesn't minimize the difficulties of communicating 'with dolphins either in their own language or in English. "What do we have in common with each other?" Dr.. Lilly asked, "They live In a different universe. Even testing their intelligence is diffi- cult, because what are you going to test? Compared with me, a dolphin is a genius in the water, but he would 'be a moron in the Library of Congress," In summer cottages irregular ceilings and dormer windows in & rook can be made less appar- ent by using a single 'colour on walls and ceilings.

Ancient WI NW scribes' eases Boys Used To Have After-School Jobs It's barely possible I am about to eXpound a great truth. I got- to thinking about it while water- ing pansies the other morning. I don't like to sell'too—many pansies, because 'every time you sell a pansy -you, sell a trowel of the farm with it. But they bring in a Springtime penny, so I bas- ket some up and put them by. the road to catch :tourists. And I have to go'out once or twice a day and giVe them a drink,- and as I was doing this I said to my- self, "What am I watering pansies, for? That's a boy's job." 'And, of course, there was no boy. I don't know where to ap- ply to make a plea for the re- storation into our affairs of the youngster who came around -looking for something to do. Per- haps it's too late. But I think we'd better find him, or our economy will soon collapse. It's a matter of continuation of the arts. How is- anybody going to know how to water pansies unless those of us who know show somebody? But who is there to show? I don't want to start any arguments about mini- mum wages and social better- ment — but I 'almost think I could. ' The general trend has been. to discourage -the youngster from the sort of thing I mean. Some jobs for youngsters are illegal. Others are dissuaded by public attitudes. And, it isn't exactly working out the way they thought. Do you think I'm going to pay $1 an hour for a boy to water pansies, even if he wanted to? Which means that they have not legislated wages at all; they've merely legislated pansy-watering out of business, and deprived some boy of the wonderful. chance to be associated with me — not only for the companion- ship offered, but for the oppor-• tubity to learn so • many things a boy needs to know, and can best learn at the odd-job game. The word is "exploiting." The new system is intended to pre- vent folks like the from exploit- ing the boy. The only trouble .with this notion is that we didn't know we were being exploited. When I think of all the after- school jobs I had, every one of them a lesson' in both vocational training and the humanities, and every one of them exploiting file shamefully, I•think the exploita- tion was well worth it. I mowed lawns and shoveled snow, of course, but'there were other jobs. In the first place, - which is no, longer so, we used to go hunting for them. We'd go- to the door and knock, and •ask. I found a job that way with Miss Foster, maiden daughter of a long line of ships' captains,, who • had nothing' to do but live on the family fortune •and keep the big white house pretty. She said she'd give me a try, and after- wards she said I was, a good worker. In the fall I helped her tip down her rosebushes and cover them, and all winter I looked forward to bringing them out again in the spring. Carrying a silk parasol, she stood behind and told me how to prune them, and I am as good a pruner as you'll find. She wasn't backward about finding fault if I did some- thing wrong, but'she was equal-' ly eager to show me the right way. Miss. Foster, by all standards, was above reproach, and there was never the slightest thought. in all the town that she 'would "exploit" a small boy! True, she used tcefish around in her purse trying hard to find a coin that was worth more than five cents, apologizing much if she couldn't, but sometimes by rare luck she'd find a dime. he always accom- panied payment with• a little preachment on the importance of being faithful and reliable. I suppose you'd have a time of it, today, explaining to a labor and industry•commissioner what a fine thing it was to get a job in a blacksmith shop! We used to race for that one, when school was out, because the blacksmith often chose the first boy to ar- rive. Some days he'd have a stack of new iron to lay in the racks, maybe Some shoes to size on tile wall pins, At least the place always needed sweep* ing up. It was wonderful to feel you were part of this business, particularly when somebody brought in a green Western horse and the blacksmith would have a light on his hands to get n shoe tightened. If he "exploited' us in terms of hours and wages, he paid dearly with, the excitement and lore that went with it, A black- smith shop is a place a boy could cheerfully work for free and feel well paid. At least you could wear a beautiful ring made from a horseshoe nail. Somehow I never felt at all exploited if, after a couple of hours of brisk work, the blacksmith said busi- ness hadn't been too good lately, and all he had for me was a few coppers. To think of all the things I did! I cleaned out cellars and sheds, stacked firewood, washed stormsash and put on screens, picked berries, and ran errands. One year I got a chance to paint all 238 blinds on the Marsden Mansion, one at a time over two boxes. On rainy days the paint- ers would help, but I did the rest by myself. I got 100 an hour for that, including instructions from the best boss painter in town. I probably got used, but I also learned to paint. And this was true. We learned how to do things — willingly and with increasing skills. We learn- ed the importance of doing as we were told, and the import- ance of the tricks in every trade. There is even a trick to water- ing pansies. We learned what tools were for, and how to use them. And I guess, too that in those days money was still worth something, and the nickels and dimes we laid by were thought to be adequate. I'm sure I thought so the day I bought me • a bicycle.
