The fat may be in the form of butter in the sandwiches or in 'e liotitle of whole milk. The sweet may be .pure '.lhoney or simple cookies or a sandwich filling of homemade jam or jelly, or, if y-ou are sure it will only, be eaten with the noon lunch, a piece of pure candy. Starches will be provided in the bread and cake, and the protein will come in the sandwich filling meat, eggs, cottage cheese or store cheese; or perhaps in baked beans or peanut butter. If you use the latter use it sparingly, bearing in mind that the oil is very difficult of digestion. Use bananas very seldom if at all. Bananas properly ripened may do no harm, but as this condition -seldom ex- ists it is llettey to avoid :them. If yea spend two hours now planning hmches . tor the school days, you will save yourself time later "lien you are hur- ried, and add. to your child's probabil- ities of good health. ' 'Don't let your child's future be spoiled by, a sn'btched up lunch, made up of what is left on the breakfast table, Sugar -Beet Syrup. We have. had several inquiries ask - Ing how to make sugar -beet syrup. Here is the method: When ready to make syrup the top- ped beets are cleaned by soaking a few minutes, then scrubbed with a coarse, stiff brush, The next step is tt cut then into slices as thin as one- sixteenth of an inch, if possible. A butcher -knife may be used, but a cole- slaw cutter or some other slicing de- vice is more convenient. The sliced beets are placed in a tight barrel and just enough hot water to cover them -boiling water, if pos- sible—is poured in at once. The bar- rel is then covered with several thick- nesses of canvas to hold the heat. The sliced beets are allowed to soak for about an hour. The barrel is agitated from time to time without'being.,un- eoverecl to bring out the sugar from the beets. The liquid is -then drawn off, strained through several thicknesses of cheese -cloth, and placed in a kettle or other vessel, ,in which it is boiled slowly until it 'hes evaporated to the thickness desired. It is important that the boiling be sleeve and the process will take several hours. The work may be' done outdoors, if desired. Be careful not to scorch the syrup. The ecmn which rises to the surface of"the liquid is skimmed off to remove the strong, beet -like flavor. The syrup is bottled or cannod while hot and sealed to prevent molding. It ,is dark in xolor, but has a pleasant flavor, Caring for ilousePlants. Your first consideration will be the soil of your plant. It should, for most plants, he composed of one part loam, one partleaf mold or vegetable mat- ter and one part coarse giiitty Fiend; if there are large roots, a greater pro- portion of loam will be required. Keels your soil ahvays well stirred up on top, and under no consideration follow the advice you sonetined hear 'tea bake it" Fertilizer is usually not needed for new plants, but may be added to in- vigorate old soil. Either decayed. cow. manure or bone meal brings satisfac- tory ;j•esults. A recipe for a good fertilizer made at home is one part nitrate soda, one part phosphate soda and one part sulphate potash. Mix ithis thoroughly in a gallon of water and ripply. one-half .pint. to an eight - inch pet. "Be careful in putting it on the soil not to touch the foliage with it. The second and meet ,important con- tiideration is drainage•. If surplus water is allowed'to stand in the bot- tom of the pot, it turns the soil sour, Many, many plants. die -for -this reason. Not only have a hole in the bottom of the flower pot, but put a coarse layer of gravel, broken ,brick or stone in the bottom. If you want to use a glazed crock, use it only as an out - aide covering for an ordinery flower cot. Sometimes little files appear on the surface soil, which are an indication of worms deeper clown near the roots. A. cup of fresh (hot air -slaked) time, snixed in tell quarts of water e and ap- iolled all over the soil, will usually kill these energies with two.

Put your plants in another room when • the sweeping is being clone or else cover thein up with a cloth. Never pot your plants in pots too big for them under the supposition that they will expand to fit them. Rather put them in smaller recep- tacles. Iyhen they outgrow these re- pot them. In order to- do this take out the plant with all its soil and place it as it .is in tt larger pot and apply more soil around the edges, but be careful not to put: in too 'nude More house plants are grown from slips than from seeds. To do tine take a branch half ripe and cut a,slip three inches long. Take off all the leaves except the upper two and root it well in wet sand several inches thick, put- ting one and one-half .inches of the slip under the sand. Keep this fllor- oughly moist.' When the roots begin to grow put your plant, with its sand, into a pot provided with other soil, Some slips, such as oleanders, lemon and ivy, will root in water. Perhaps the greatest enjoyment in raising plants is derived from plant- ing "bulbs. Order your bulbs ' this month—hyacinth, tulip, narcissus, daffodil and Hip—whichever you pre- fer—and put then right into a soil composed of one part ordinary garden Ioam, one part. old cow manure or bone meal and one part sand, all thorough- ly. nixed. Keep them well watered anti allow thein to remain in a cool, dark place till their roots are formed. This process usually takes about six weeks. If you use new pots, soak them thoroughly before using. Cider Apple Butter. Peeled and sliced apples may be cooked in the boiled cider to make the butter in one operation, oy they may be made first into apple sauce, which is then cooked in the boiled cider. With apples of coarse' texture the latter method is no doubt preferable, but both make equally good butter. Cooking should be continued until the cider and apples do not separate, and the butter, when cold, will be as thick as good apple sauce. The thick- ness is determined at frequent inter- vals by 'cooling small portions, It usually takes about equal quantities of sweet cider and peeled and sliced apples to make butter of the right consistency. Two of the 'essentials of making good apple butter are long, slow cooking (four to six hours) and constant stirring. If sugar is used it should be added after the cooking of cider and apples is two-thirds done. About a pound of iiiither white or brown sugar is the usual amount to each gallon of apple butter, but more or less (or not any) may be used, to suit tee taste. Apple butter is spiced according to taste, a half teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon, cloves and allspice being used for each gallon. These are stirred into ,it when the cooking is finished. While still boiling hot, apple butter should be packed into hot sterilized glasses, glass pars, or hermetically sealed stone jars, with tightly fitting covers, rind should be sterilized, Lecture vs, Flogging. "Spars the rad and spoil the child" isn't the motto in Meoriland, for the Maoris will never beat their children nor allow them' to be beaten, , If a boy does wrong, his parents scold him thoroughly and try to con- vince bim that his naughtiness is mak. ing them unhappy, The Maoris say that/by beating a child you make him Bard and callous, and that tear more good can be done by a quiet and serious talk. A good spanking Is soon forgotten by the average youngster, of what- ever nationality he is, but a lecture will certainly make him think. If, 'at school, a young Maori is punished by his master, the parents remove their child from that school and send him to another, so thorough- ly are they against the idea of car• poral punishment, est Skate -Sharpening Tool Fro - duces Hollow Edge.

The next moment he"had hastily risen, caught Vail liy the arm and, wielding the revolver wrenched from the other's hand, hurried him out through the unresisting crowd to the bevy of park- ed tnachiltee. "Not yours, Val!" he chattered "Everybody knows it. Take the uta chine of the fellow you plugged, Ove With a jerk be threw in itis gears and t shot :away. Val watched him out of sight, Then witha start be hurried down to the connecting road, It was a homely mountain product, narrow, sandy, jut- ting' forth with immovable rocks, and lined with a pair of 'deep canyonlilce ruts, But he took it gratefully. As he went along the srin came up salmon -reel, deflected in at million leaf Mops, sparkling on endless spider webs strung like white nets on twin - betty, wintergreen and eiiuquefoil, Below the road zigzagged an ice-cold mountain stream, eleiir a$ glass, mus- ically slapping over glistening rocks, moving indolently through fern -bord- ered trout pools,_ lending a cool, damp r tang to the air, here somewhere.

Help me get this self-starter started. All right. Get back. Keep low for Pete's sake!" The engine had broken into a roar. Backing violently around a green• sedan, they went shooting out into the pike. It was fifteen or twenty minutes later when the car stopped, Val, lift" ing his head from the rug of the ton- neau, found above him the green leaves of an apple tree, They were still in the country. i'Ljsten, Val," sniff Lou, hurriedly, turning from the front seat. "I've been doping this thing out, We can't go back to town. Every cop will be looking for you." "Lou!" begged Val wretchedly. "I didn't want to kill him! "Too late now, man, to talk abort that!" declared Lou, "The thing is to get away before they hang you—if you can, If they catch me, it'll prob- ably mean ten years as an accomplice. But I'm going to help you as I prom- ised. A minute ago I•thougltt• of a place in Dauphin county, Just the spot for you.

Here comes somebocly's lights. .I'm going to try to get you up there to -night" For an 'hour Val lay on his back on the bottom of the car, his head thumping froth rock, rut and gutter, his calves jolting on the slanted ton- neau cushions. He heard nothing above the roar of the car, saw nothing but a continually Clark sky, and an 'occasional flashing tree, smelled only a blend of leather, varnish, rubber rug dust and occasionally a whiff of Lou's cigarette. His back grew man- iacal with aches and cramp. His shoulders seemed caked with rheuma- tism. Suddenly he heard Lou give a sharp exclamation. He opened Itis eyes. The illuminated branches of trees above the . car told him they were passing through a city or good-sized town. The tires- were purring softly as on asphalt. Gradually the car carte to a stop. "Hello!" he heard Lou say nervous- ly, "What's the matter?" Hugging the floor be heard no reply for a moment, then felt the heave of a heavy foot on the running board, "Sorry, but I'll have to get your name." "James Barth," fabricated Lou smoothly. ."What's the idea V..' "Where are you going?" "Up the country, fishing" "Sorry to be personal; but that mus- tache --excuse me.

"Have a cigar. slope you get that coin." ' The engine spun, and the car leap- ed forward. Some minutes later Lou turned his head soberly. "He must have been'blind'not to see you." Vat didn't answer. His senses wore stun- ned with the realization that there was 85,000 reward on his head. In vivid sequence he saw himself in a cell—itis -name and picture on the front page of the Journal, his stand in the crowded courtroom, his mother crying down below, the judge's im- partial black frock, the unperturbed, placid jurors, the foreman rising to deliver a verdict, Feverishly he forc- ed his eyes apart, pushed up on one, elbow and tried to blot out the mental scenes with the actuality of passing country; Some hours later, at Lou's direction, he rose painfully to a sitting position and looked about, It was dawn in an unfamiliar forest valley. No human habitation was in sight, To the right towered`a•level bulk of mountain, to the left another, Stiff in shoulders and knees, he clambered down to the ground, which appeared to be red and sandy, "Can't let you go that way!" de- clared Lou positively. "Tear off that collar and, tie, and come along till I fix you. up presentably," Whentwenty minutes later they came back from the stream, Val 'felt complete physical' confusion added to mental chaos, His Suit was torn and stained, caked with mud and duet. So were his shoes and' hat, His 'collar and tie; with -his collar buttons and li'nke, had been stuffed into the soft cavity of a brown stump; The letter's in his pockets had been burned. Itis sleeves were rolled up, and hnutds, Pace, arm's and neck had been stained with juice from :forest leaves and rub- bed with dust. "Your road's down here by that bridge," directed Lou.

When he reached the little valley beyond, he halted hungrily. Two or three slab buildings dominated the cuttings. Nearby stood a silent sawmill of the portable type, with its inseparable pile of sawdust,' neatly layered tiers of railroad ties and lumber, and a pile of jumbled slabs. The strong wine fragrance of green lumber, chestnut predominating, came to his nostrils, blended with the pun- gency of burning pine and the inirnit able aroma of coffee and bacon. A. tanager stoppedits robin -like carol from a ,standing hollow white oak and dropped like a burning coal to a dogwood twig the level of Val's head, from which it alternately ,inspected him and displayed its incomparable coat of red and black.

If you were asked the question; "What animal can. Jump the highest?" you would; In all likelihood, guess wrong. It is the •whale!

Wasps and bees, though so much alike in appearance, have quite dif- ferent habits, Wasps are arrant thieves and cowards, while bees are real "gentlemen." The best way to destroy wasps is to pour a..little tur- pentine or benzotne into their hole. Then every inhabitant will quickly die. During the autumn some wasps will be ,found with very long antennae or horns, These are the males or drones, and are stingless. Bees will only sting when they or their hives arenttacked, Their aim is to preserve their colony. A bee hatched in early summer does not live"to eat the stoney it gathers, as its average life through the busy season is not more than six weeks, Only those born In late autumn live till the spring, 'When bees are attacked, they will willingly give their lives in. defence of their rights, Wasps' stings are straight, and can be withdrawn with- out injury to the insects. Bees' stings aro barbed, and bees using them generally lose their Iives; Are your eyes open? What. new, beantiful, or interesting object did you see to -day ? SKUNK FARMING IS PROFITABLE SHOULD ATTRACT FUS FARMERS,. anching Could be Carried on Ss c essfully in Every. Sec- tion of•Canaca. A. great steal bee been said from time to time advodeting the exteeseace of the clotuesitc proitagatlon of Crum. lea's fur bearing animele In Ytew of the possible ctetuletlon clue to Mandate ons settlement and' the inereasing "prices to ba derived from' furs during the past few years. The advantages of the artificial raising of ,tete fox, beaver, muskrat, specifically, have been pointed out, sol here it is pro- posed to devote a few wards to that much abused animal, tete siuunlc. The fact that ,rho animal is to be found in practically every part of the. Ameri• pati contiuent, and that the pelt has sold as high as ten dollars, is suf- fleient to attract the attention of fur farmers and. induce a study into the feasIMliy and advantages of the in. dustry. Proved Successful Elsewhere. Many years ago Ernest Thompson Seton, the well known nature writer acrd naturalist to the Manitoba Gov- ernment, advocated a more extensive artificial propagation of the skunk, and himself bperated a most success- ful ranch of this kind, Because large- ly of a prejudice against the little animal and its method of defense, skunk ravening has never been firmly established in Canada as an industry although the advantages and possibili- ties are obviously so great. Success on other parts of tite American con- tinent and elsewhere have demon- strated the feasibility of establishing the industry, firmly and profitably in the Dominion. The skunk is widely fohnd over the Canaclian Dominion in ovary corner and nook where it can find food suited to its needs, and notwithstanding the fact that it is persistently ]muted, trapped and worried by dogs, it con- tinues to thrive and multiply in close proximity to settlements. The animal is neither timid nee vicious and is practically omnivorous, devouring large quantities -of insects, including grasshoppers, crickets, beetles and caterpillars. In aptivity, the feeding is very ecanomicai,.the diet consisting of meat, fish, cooked cereals, vege- tables and milk, The food problem is most easily solved where the raueh is established within reach of a hotel and the contents of the daily garbage can will feed a couohlerable number, Multiplies Rapidly. The skunk multiplies rapidly with titters of from six to twelve, the period of gestation being eight weeks. Des• tenting may be performed when the animals aro five weeks old and ail possibility of future nuisance be eliminated, but in domestic raising this 1s not really necessary, contrary to general belief, as the animals- be- come remarkably tame and friendly With those handling teem and never bring into play the powerful weapon nature has given theist except when belly frightened by some Intruder. Skunk ranching could be success- fully carried on in practically every section of Canada for the animal Is in- digenous to every paint and would find his natural conditions wherever a farm was located. In wire enclosed pens of suitable land the animals will make their awn burrows and dens and need little attention beyond feeding. The demand for pelts is steady and general, and the high prices prevail. ing during tete past few years make skunk ranches very profitable con. •`erns and augur a successful future for any development along these lines. •5- ._,--, A Long Journey.
