Four horses had been killed in a
railway accident and an owner and
his trainer had rushed to the scene
to identify their horse,
"That isn't him, nor that," they
said, pointing to the two horses
stretched out beside the line. They
wandered on and saw another.
"That's not him either. But there
he is," said the trainer, pointing to
a fourth horse.
"Blimey, that's hits orright," said
the owner. "Same in death as in

year that passes. There has always
been plenty of hard work to con•
tend with on the land but until re-
cently there was a sort of unhur-
ried steadiness in connection with
all the work that had to he Clone.
In haying time a, farmer cut only
just a -few acres of bay at a time.
Then it urns raked aitd coiled and

Maybe every ntoruin when c the

peated until all the hay was stored
in the barn, If it rained no one
worried very much—the coils were
turned over, and soon dried out
again.
And then cause the harvest—
three horses on the binder; one or
two Elan in the field, stooking the
sheaves as they fell, keeping pace
with the binder if they could, It
was generally hot, hard work but
always there was a sense of satis-
faction in looking over a field of
grain with all the sheaves neatly
stooked, :1 farmer was often judg-
ed according to the way he stooked,
Caine tante for drawing in ... load
after load was taken to the barn
and moved away. Children who
were old enough were often out in
the field helping Dad. Event those
who were not big enough to really
help tagged along just for the tun
of riding home on top of the load.
In those days there was little dan-
ger in the field. In most cases the
horses were used to the children—
even au eight-year-old could drive
the team over to the next row of
stooks. Field work was a sort of
family affair. Even soother helped
occasionally — although not too
much, as everyone realised moth-
er's main jolt w•as to keep a hungry
family well fed and well cared for.
Pretty soon the barn would be
full—waiting for the thresher, But
there was no real hurry—the grain
was out of the weather and could
wait until the machine came along.
Threshing time , .. and neighbours
changed with neighbours as the
machine moved from one farm to
another. Again it was, hard work
but friendly cooperation cased the
work, After a good meal—remem-
ber those 13 pound roasts of beef?
—no wonder the older hien were
content to sit around the dining
table talking about what crops had
been like in other years. The
younger step would generally con-
gregate outside, jolting, laughing,
swapping yarns and staking plans
for the next ball game.
Perhaps in outlaying districts of
Ontario this is still the pattern for
farthing, especially where a grow-
ing family can help with the work,
But around here there have been
many changes—the old way of
farming will soon be a thing of the
past. At a rough guess I would
say sixty percent of the farmers
have their hay bailed now and the
number of crops being combined
is on the increase. It sounds like
alt easier way of doing things.
Physically it may be but it is cec-
tainly more risky and harder on
the nerves, especially in "catchy"
weather, More hay moist be cut

were possible to get a baler or coin -
have their hay baled now and then
would be fine, but always there
is a period of waiting your turn—
waiting, which generally results in
someone losing out on account of
the weather. Incidentally, right
now we are waiting for a combine!
Farming is getting more mech-
anized every year. Young farmers
seem to like to own and operate
their own forage -harvesters vtsters and
combines. Older farmers depend
on hiring balers and combines to do
their harvesting for them.
Fes. agriculture uas made tre-
mendous strides during the last
decade. We have gained a lot but
somewhere along the line I feel
we have lost something to. The
late Professor Graham often spoke
of farming
as "a way living."
livin :'
Now it has become merely a way of
"staking" a living. It is a business
just as much as keeping a butcher
shop or running a garage—except
that the unpredictable still happens
occasionally. For instance, Partner
and I were away about 15 minutes
this Morning. While We were away
our nine heifers found a weak spot
in the fence and were having a
grand time in a field of clover. \Ve
didn't have much trouble in getting
them out as they are such pets. they
follow us around like a litter of
pups. Yesterday I had the car in
the yard and was sitting there with
all the windows open. Presently 1
was surrounded by heifers, Three
of them put their heads through
tate window. That was all right
until they began licking the uphol-
stery. l chased them away but in
a few minutes they were back
again so I let them stay until their
curiosity was fully satisfied. Then
they wandered away of their own
accord,
"Rocking Bed" For
Polio Patients
A "rocking bed" can take the
place of the "iron lung'•that makes
it possible for some polio victims
to breath. According to Dr, Jessie
Wright, consultant on acute polio-
myelitis. the rocking bed was de-
veloped in .1946. The whole bed
seesaws on electrically controlled
rockers at a regulated rate. By
adjus*ing the rate and degree of
the see -saw movement respiration
can be varied, The rocking bed is
not intended to supplant the iron
lung, tvbich is indispensable in
cases of severe chest paralysis, but
to help patients breathe outside the
iron lung foe gradually increasing
periods end so hasten progress to-
ward independent breathing,
Another approach to the prob-
lem presented by the iron lung
comes from the Mount Sinai Hos-
pital of Philadelphia. Dr. Victor F,
Syttinsky and Dr, James O. Brown,
assistant, have developed a nerve -
grafting operation to restore acti-
vity to a diaphragm paralyzed by
poliomyelitis. So fat' the operation
has been performed only on six -

Great Killer Snake
_._ It
It was in 1923 that the Austral -
inn snake which later came to be
known as the "taipan" leapt into
fame, when naturalist Bill McLenn-
an, who was on a bird -collecting
expedition on Cape York Penin-
sula, encountered two very large
and ,aggressive venomous snakes,
near Coen, Oneof these specimens
was more than 10 ft, long -the big-
i2.st venomous snake recorded
b.tn Australia, And they had tre-
mendous fangs—nearly / in. in
length— and in one, at least, the
fangs appeared to be double.
Years elapsed, and no snore specie
mens were secured. For more than.
three years the writer lived with
the nomadic tribes in the wilds of
Cape York Fenninsula—about 1,100
mile snorth of Brisbane writea
Donald F. Thomson in The illus.
trated London News. As I carte to
learn the native language, I heard.
the aborigines speak in awed tones
of a great killer snake, known as
the "taipan"—thick as a man's arm,
that attacked savagely and without
provocation—and to the native
mind—worst of all—a snake that
had one orange -red eye. In vain 1
offcre almost fabulous rewards lit
knives, axes and tobacco, for a tai•
pan, living or dead.
But one night a native dog wax
bitten, and died very quickly. I
captured the snake, placed it in a
cage, and carried nut a post mon-
tem on the dog. The post-mortem
was interesting. There, at last, was
the taipan. I "milked" this snake-,-
and
nake=and within a few weeks she laid a
clutch of seven eggs—elongate in
form, with blunt ends, enclosed in
soft, parchment -like shells.
The taipan was like no other
snake I had ever seen. It had a
long narrow head, a whitish upper -
lip, an orange -red eye, and the
scales of the body were not smooth
but , t rigid, almost keeled. In attack
g
it assumed a terrifying attitude—
.for it would errect its tail in the air,
often lashing it ,menacingly and,
muscles tensed, raise its body lit
loops, sometimes' several inches
clear of the ground.

the meanest man in the world. He
hypnotised me into thinking 1 was
a canary and then gave me birdseed
for breakfast, dinner and supper."
The magistrate could hardly be-

"Is that true?" he demanded.
The husband glared. "1 don't
consider that was mean," he said.
The magistrate was flabbergas-
ted.
"You don't think that was
mean?"
The husband shoot: his head.
"No, I do not, your worship," he
said "I could have 113pnotised her
into thinking she was a sparrow

for her own food!"

year that passes. There has always
been plenty of hard work to con•

cently there was a sort of unhur-
ried steadiness in connection with
all the work that had to he Clone.

Then it urns raked aitd coiled and

Maybe every ntoruin when c the

peated until all the hay was stored
in the barn, If it rained no one
worried very much—the coils were
turned over, and soon dried out
again.
And then cause the harvest—

two Elan in the field, stooking the
sheaves as they fell, keeping pace
with the binder if they could, It
was generally hot, hard work but
always there was a sense of satis-
faction in looking over a field of
grain with all the sheaves neatly
stooked, :1 farmer was often judg-
ed according to the way he stooked,
Caine tante for drawing in ... load
after load was taken to the barn
and moved away. Children who
were old enough were often out in
the field helping Dad. Event those
who were not big enough to really
help tagged along just for the tun
of riding home on top of the load.
In those days there was little dan-
ger in the field. In most cases the
horses were used to the children—
even au eight-year-old could drive
the team over to the next row of
stooks. Field work was a sort of
family affair. Even soother helped
occasionally — although not too
much, as everyone realised moth-
er's main jolt w•as to keep a hungry
family well fed and well cared for.
Pretty soon the barn would be
full—waiting for the thresher, But
there was no real hurry—the grain
was out of the weather and could
wait until the machine came along.
Threshing time , .. and neighbours
changed with neighbours as the
machine moved from one farm to
another. Again it was, hard work
but friendly cooperation cased the
work, After a good meal—remem-

—no wonder the older hien were
content to sit around the dining
table talking about what crops had
been like in other years. The
younger step would generally con-
gregate outside, jolting, laughing,
swapping yarns and staking plans
for the next ball game.
Perhaps in outlaying districts of
Ontario this is still the pattern for
farthing, especially where a grow-
ing family can help with the work,
But around here there have been
many changes—the old way of
farming will soon be a thing of the
past. At a rough guess I would
say sixty percent of the farmers
have their hay bailed now and the
number of crops being combined
is on the increase. It sounds like
alt easier way of doing things.
Physically it may be but it is cec-
tainly more risky and harder on
the nerves, especially in "catchy"
weather, More hay moist be cut

were possible to get a baler or coin -
have their hay baled now and then
would be fine, but always there
is a period of waiting your turn—
waiting, which generally results in
someone losing out on account of
the weather. Incidentally, right
now we are waiting for a combine!
Farming is getting more mech-
anized every year. Young farmers
seem to like to own and operate
their own forage -harvesters vtsters and
combines. Older farmers depend
on hiring balers and combines to do
their harvesting for them.
Fes. agriculture uas made tre-
mendous strides during the last
decade. We have gained a lot but
somewhere along the line I feel
we have lost something to. The
late Professor Graham often spoke
of farming
as "a way living."
livin :'
Now it has become merely a way of
"staking" a living. It is a business
just as much as keeping a butcher
shop or running a garage—except
that the unpredictable still happens
occasionally. For instance, Partner
and I were away about 15 minutes
this Morning. While We were away
our nine heifers found a weak spot
in the fence and were having a
grand time in a field of clover. \Ve
didn't have much trouble in getting
them out as they are such pets. they
follow us around like a litter of
pups. Yesterday I had the car in
the yard and was sitting there with
all the windows open. Presently 1
was surrounded by heifers, Three
of them put their heads through
tate window. That was all right
until they began licking the uphol-
stery. l chased them away but in
a few minutes they were back
again so I let them stay until their
curiosity was fully satisfied. Then
they wandered away of their own
accord,
"Rocking Bed" For
Polio Patients
A "rocking bed" can take the
place of the "iron lung'•that makes
it possible for some polio victims
to breath. According to Dr, Jessie
Wright, consultant on acute polio-
myelitis. the rocking bed was de-
veloped in .1946. The whole bed
seesaws on electrically controlled
rockers at a regulated rate. By
adjus*ing the rate and degree of
the see -saw movement respiration
can be varied, The rocking bed is
not intended to supplant the iron
lung, tvbich is indispensable in
cases of severe chest paralysis, but
to help patients breathe outside the
iron lung foe gradually increasing
periods end so hasten progress to-
ward independent breathing,
Another approach to the prob-
lem presented by the iron lung
comes from the Mount Sinai Hos-
pital of Philadelphia. Dr. Victor F,
Syttinsky and Dr, James O. Brown,
assistant, have developed a nerve -
grafting operation to restore acti-
vity to a diaphragm paralyzed by
poliomyelitis. So fat' the operation
has been performed only on six -

Poliomyelitis often damages the
phrenic nerve, which provides the
nerve supply to the diaphragm,
When that happens the diaphragm,
which is the "breathing muscle"
that operates the lungs, ceases to

Great Killer Snake
_._ It
It was in 1923 that the Austral -
inn snake which later came to be
known as the "taipan" leapt into
fame, when naturalist Bill McLenn-
an, who was on a bird -collecting
expedition on Cape York Penin-
sula, encountered two very large
and ,aggressive venomous snakes,
near Coen, Oneof these specimens
was more than 10 ft, long -the big-
i2.st venomous snake recorded
b.tn Australia, And they had tre-
mendous fangs—nearly / in. in
length— and in one, at least, the
fangs appeared to be double.
Years elapsed, and no snore specie
mens were secured. For more than.
three years the writer lived with
the nomadic tribes in the wilds of
Cape York Fenninsula—about 1,100
mile snorth of Brisbane writea
Donald F. Thomson in The illus.
trated London News. As I carte to
learn the native language, I heard.
the aborigines speak in awed tones
of a great killer snake, known as
the "taipan"—thick as a man's arm,
that attacked savagely and without
provocation—and to the native
mind—worst of all—a snake that
had one orange -red eye. In vain 1
offcre almost fabulous rewards lit
knives, axes and tobacco, for a tai•
pan, living or dead.
But one night a native dog wax
bitten, and died very quickly. I
captured the snake, placed it in a
cage, and carried nut a post mon-
tem on the dog. The post-mortem
was interesting. There, at last, was
the taipan. I "milked" this snake-,-
and
nake=and within a few weeks she laid a
clutch of seven eggs—elongate in
form, with blunt ends, enclosed in
soft, parchment -like shells.
The taipan was like no other
snake I had ever seen. It had a
long narrow head, a whitish upper -
lip, an orange -red eye, and the
scales of the body were not smooth
but , t rigid, almost keeled. In attack
g
it assumed a terrifying attitude—
.for it would errect its tail in the air,
often lashing it ,menacingly and,
muscles tensed, raise its body lit
loops, sometimes' several inches
clear of the ground.
