Plowing or spading. up a new Piece of land is atmos. ear olnly going to be followed by a i .au•'a.rt crop of Weeds, u..!ess cultivation is main. tamed. This is rott difficult with a small piece of ground. One 'person can handle a quarter -acre of vegetable garden in Jpare time, provided. he is willing to devote an evening or so a week to it. ,If this time is not available then a much smaller pie' should be chosen, As a matter of fact, all experienced gardeners advocate a small, well cul• tivaited plot in preference to one larger and receiving less care. The .mailer plot, too, in+ the end will produce the best and the most vege- tables. If the original digging is followed promptly and regularly with from two to four thorough 'enitivat!ons, about a week or ten days apart, the weeds will get dis- couraged. To make sure, however, that the weeds are killed and not just temporarily put off from start- ing, it is well to allow sufficient time in between cultivation for the paste to germinate and start to grow.

Although it looks somewhat like a Ash, and is born and lives only in the ocean, the whale actually is the largest f all animals. It is thought ,that the whae'a remote ancestors were land antanats. There are several reasons for classing whales a animals. For one th'ng, whales are warm-blooded, Moreover, whales bring forth their young alive, nourishing their babies wth milk as do other mammals, such as cows and horses, Whales possess lung's, not gills each as Ash use for breathing, and have double circulation. The whale usually comes to the surface to breathe every 6 or 10 minutes, but is capable of remaining under water for much longer periods. The strueiture of Nee whale pro- vides farther indication of its kin- ship with land animals. The whale has a horizontal.dinned tail, as op• Posed to the vertical tail fins of fish. The whale's broad flat paddles are really modified forelimbs. Within the paddles may be found the Bones and joints, most of 'the muscles, etc, found in the human arm. The arm - bones are greatly ,shontened and the fingers mach elongated, having many more. joints than. our human fingers, but the structural resemb- lance is plain. Also, deep in the whale's body WeanesdaY, March Ofth, 3.84t • When you take the lid off that box of baby chicks, can't you see your next Fall's strong, money-. making layers?

Indeed, the whole skeleton of the whale is characteris- tically that of a mammal, the neck vertebrae being of the typical num- ber (seven) found in nursing.. creatures on land. There even are traces of hairs tai be found growing trent their leath- ery slain. In the process Of Chang, ing from land to marine animals; fur or hair evidently was discarded/ as a means of keeping warm, in favor of a thick Insulating layer of blubber, but the remaining testigea of hair provide a, clear indication of the origin of whales in land animals.. The skin, too, is free from the scales. found in most fish. r-- ICO Perfect Germination The 'Ontario Depantreent - of'Age:- culture 'Agri-culture is advising, farmers to. test their seed grain this Spring for .ger- mination, as much of the grain, being exposed so long: to + wet_ weather conditions last summer% was thought to have lost this quail'- ity.
