PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Nam/ J, Boyle
Where do cobwebs come from?
Back in school they told us that spid-
ers were responsible when cobwebs
appeared here and there in the house
or barn, I believed that, theory when
was learning my lessons but since
then I've come to the conclusion that
there must be another explanation for
all these filmy, dirty webs that seem
to appear from nowhere,
Just try taking a broom some day
in the cow-stable for the purpose of
getting rid of the cobwebs. You'll
find them draped all over the beams
in a way that reminds you of clothes
hung out on a clothes line. Those
spiders must certainly be productive.
You peer and crane into all the nooks
and crannies, convinced that you have
the whole thing cleared out as clean
as an old-maids hope-chest, You go
away rather proud of the way in which
you have disposed of that matter.
Come back the next morning and
look around. Sure enough the webs
have all re-appeared. They are new
pushed hay for the cattle down
through the trap-door. the cobwebs
will be all dusty and dirty just like
the others that you took down on the
night previous. The same thing goes
with the horse stable or the drying
shed.
The worst cobwebs of all are the
ones that appear over the trap dooi:.
Pushing up in the half-dark of the
stairway, you shove up on the door
and when the light strikes your face
you realize that your face is covered
with cobwebs. If you haven't shaved
they are sticking in your whiskers.
One will be drooped down over the
brim of your hat in the most madden-
ing manner possible.
Mrs. Phil has the same trouble in
the house. She'll go through the
whole affair with a duster and a mop,
determined to get everything in spick
and span order. Just as certain as
fate the next day when she shows
somebody into the front room, there'll
be a dainty cobweb in a •corner. A
man never notices such things but a
woman will literally sweat blood until
she has removed the cobweb.
My grandfather had a theory about
such things. He was convinced that
bad fairies were responsible for the
cobwebs. According to him they
perched up in dark corners laughing
while you brushed away the webs.
Then just as soon as you went out
they swooped down with little guns
and sprayed up another series to tor-
ment you. That is why he gave up
ever trying to get rid,of the cobwebs.
In that way he made the fairies dis-
couraged in place of being discourage
ed all the time himself.

Don't Give 1.we Stock
Ice Cold Water
For all cattle in winter, particularly
for •dairy cows, a liberal supply of
good clean water is necessary, and an
important thing is that the chill shoUld
be taken off the water before drinking.
As pointed out by W. D. Albright,
Superintendent Dominion Experiment.
al Farm, Beaverlodge, Alberta.,
"starey-coated, constipated cattle
vering hurrip-backed at icy troughs on
a bleak winter day are an object of
sympathy and a standing advertise-
ment for shrunken profits". If the
water is ice-cold, the animals do not
drink enough water, The small
amount that they do drink checks
natural functions, Results are consti-
pation, ill-thrift, and sometimes indi-
gestion.
Warm water is relaxing and subsit-
tines in part for succulent feed, Half
a pailful of tepid water has brought
many a horse around after an framer
sion or after a cold hard drive. Swine
do poorly on ice-cold drinks. A heater
in the drinking tank will not only
avoid much ice chopping but will con-
tribute decidedly to the health and
comfort of the farmyard stock.
BEES CONTRIBUTE
TO WAR EFFORT
(Experimental Farms News)
The bee may well look back upon
her season's accomplishments with a
great deal of pride. . Her contribution
to the war effort 'has been threefold:
(1) Production of honey; (2) Produc-
tion of wax; (3) Pollination of many,
fruits, vegetables and forage plants. -
The bees in 1943 provided Canada
with the second largest honey crop in
the history of the industry. The 82.5
million pounds of honey estimated for
the past season is an increase of 35
per cent over the previous year, states
C. A. Jamieson, Bee Division., Central
Experimental Farm, Ottawa.
Along with the increase in honey is
a corresponding increase of approxi-
mately 35 per cent in the production
of wax. As beeswax is essential in
the manufacture of numerous war
materials, this increase in supply is an
important contribution. War uses for
beeswax include adhesive tape fOr
sealing shells, waterproofing and pro-
tective coatings for shells, belts, coils
and machinery and as protective cov-
erings for fighter planes. Large
quantities are also used in war plants
for 'waxing cables and pulleys, in
polishes and in improving insulation.
By no means the least in value of
the contribution of bees is from their
extensive pollinating activity. The
economic value of pollination has been
estimated to be fifteen to twenty times
greater than both honey and wax. By
cross-pollination the bee assists in, the
production of oil bearing seeds, rub-
ber plants, legume seed, fruits and
vegetables.
The bees will also play air inifiortint
role in the post-war world by helping
to produce seed which will be shipped
to devastated countries.
