Farmer Holds Key
To -Better Hunting
',The hunting possibilities of the
average sportsman'lie in the hol-
low of the farmer's calloused hand.
It is upon' his land that good or
poor hunting is• to'be found,—,and
for this reason heho1ds the key
to good hunting in his pocket.
Farmer -sportsman: r e la tions
have been the subject of many a
lengthy ; discussion in.sportsmen's
meeting for , a number of years,
but the subject 'would disappear
from the agenda if only the indiv-
idual sportsman would do some-
thing about it
The sooner the sportsman gets
out of the "nodding acquaintance”
category: and, places himself on an
all -year-round friendship basis
with the' farmer, the sooner he will
enjoy better hunting. The farmer
is the 'keeper of the' key to good
hunting. In fact, he holdsthe key
to any hunting at all. True, .all
wild game belongs to the crown,'
but the control of most of it's
habitat is vested in the owner or
tenant of :the land. Toe farmer
can lock 'the door to all hunting
on his land, or he can, as he us-
ually does, be exceedingly gener-
ous with his hospitality.
There is an easy approach to the
use . of the farmers magic key.
Thisis simply through the use of
common courtesy. The farmer is
a busy, and peace -loving man. It
is no pleasure for him to stop in
the midst of his work and force
a trespassing hunting party to re-
tire from his land. More often
than•not he suffers the insult for
that is just what- trespass really
is—in silence rather than have any
unpleasantness. But he doesn't
forget. He knows his 'rights and
soon "No Hunting" signs appear on
the borders of his land. '
The farmer hikes friendly, court-
eous company. He resents being
"talked down to" by self-styled
"big shots". from the city who have
very little knowledge of his pro-
blems and care nothing about
them. He'll generally meet friend-
ly overtures more than halfway.
But he'll stand just so much high
batting and the `Click", the
key is turned in the lock of hunt-
ing privileges and Mr. Discourt-
eous finds himself looking for oth-
er hunting grounds.
The matter of making friends
with the farmer is an easy and
pleasant undertaking. All you
have to .do is to practise the code
of courtesy all of us have been
taught anyway. '

Hello Homemakers! Our first
resolution of the new year, namely,
to read 'Margaret'Aitken's 'Hey
Ma, I did It," and Claire Wallace's
"Mind` Your Manners," had to be
shelved while we get on with the
work -a -day business of answeri}ig
queries.: There seems to be' numer-
ours people who are' learning to
use their electrical Christmas pres-
ents, What a pity to receive ap-
pliances without instructions or a
w grranty. • If this has happened
to you, write the manufacturer
for both the guide and the. card.
In many instances the instructions
are all too brief so we hope our
suggestions will help you.
TAKE A TW
1. Read the manufacturers in-
structions carefully and follow
them -exactly -to get- the' most
efficient use and longest poss
ible service from your equip-
. Ment.
2. If you hear an ominous grindin
the electric motor or note thr.:t
the appliance is not working
properly, stop it immediately
and check to see whether ser;.
vice or adjustment should be
made.
3. Decide on the repairs you can
do and the service of the elec-
trician.
4. Plug the electric cord into ap-
pliance first, then into outlet.
5. Disconnect appliance by grasp-
ing the plug at the outlet --don't
yank the cord.
6. Set all controls according to
manufacturer's instructions.
7. Never put heating units, cords
or motors in water.
ELECTRIC DISIHIWASHERS
1. Dishwashers should be installed
with a convenient cut-off `valve:
If there is not a tap on your un-
it' you should be able to turn
off the water at the main sup-
ply line. This should be clearly
marked, so' that anyone can
find it quickly.
2. If dishes do not come out of
the dishwasher clean" and shiny,
then next time see that the
dishes are scraped well, ' the
water piping hot (150 degs,) and
the proper, cleaner is used.
3. Soap powders or cgombination of
soap and detergent prevents
washing action of the machine.
To prevent spots on glassware
and silver the water should be
softened using a calgonite pow-
der or the crystals tiedsecurely
in a bag if there is no container
in the machine. Watch for dish-
washer powders on the grocer's
shelves.
4. To save costly service use cau-
tion when putting cutlery in the
silver basket: set ,securely in
place with handles down. If one
piece gets pushed over into the
impeller there is trouble. By the
way we do not place hollow
handled sterling pieces in the
machine.`
5. If a film appears on the dishes
the condition may be due to the
mineral content of •• the " water.
' Check on the amount of soften-
er to'use by measuring, the .pow-
der into 2 qts. "'of water. It
should feel slippery as you pinch
it. To remove film rub all parts
except gold paint With lion ami.
min fact we suggest giving your
dish -washer the benefit of a
good deal by cleaning dishes
with mild cleansers 'before you
ELECTRIC. LRONERS
1. Practice ironing fiat linens first,
then put one piece after another
through the machine without
raising the ir'o7ler—mind your
fingers. If you iron clothes with-
out folding (where possible) the
fabric will last longer and y.
Will be making wise use of iro
ei..
2. If clothes have to • e
through repeatedly to get th
smooth then fluff the paddi
and decide- • whether the fabr
'is damp enough. A spon
squeezed out of hot water a
rubbed over dry parts will hel
3. If the ironer cover is scorch
at one end, check your iron'
technique; you maybe favou
ing the left side. Try to u
both sides evenly.
4. Wash the muslin cover once
month and bleach if necessa
5. If too much soap has been le
in the clothes the iron will pr
