"The wisest men that ever you knew Have neverdreamed it treason To rest a•bit—and jest a bit, And balance up their . reason; To laugh a bit—and chaff a bit, , And joke a bit in season." There is something, so heartening in the anticipation of a holidaer. Even a half holiday in which one mends stockings and does odd jobs' seems to -help a lot, and when it means a week or so or more, away altogether from the general routine why it looks Iike a- little bit of hea- ven in anticipation. One's holidays very often do not come up to expectations. We may not be able to plan very exciting ones, but no matter whether they are altogether satisfactory or not, a holiday should serve to pep one Jup to take on regular responsibility a- gain with new zest. I remember reading once of an old deacon or someone like that coming arong a river one day and expressing regret when he found his minister aimallimmous Men and women interested in e career or in living a full, rich and happy life know that the first essential is a university training. Why not plan to .attend a University of the highest standing„where students work for their degrees and where each student receives personal attention?

Yes, , said 'the old' man, "butt ` 1; play only for the glory, of God.” "Well,'_'` inquired the minister, "do you leave your fiddle strung all -the time?" "Of course I don't,e snapped the old man, "it would ruin the strings" "And so it is with the human body," said the minister', "it must some- times have relaxation if it is to do, its best work. I have just slackened the strings for a spell." , ,Some holidays are not used with discretion; they are wasted in so far as they might build up the tired body. If one's •body is timed rest is what is needed on a holiday. But if it is that one has been confined too much, has not had enough physical exercise, perhaps an active holiday is what is needed. Walking, playing games, swimming, all the active out- door sports, if not parried to excess, ought to be helpful. One of the mod. ern -summer activities which I do not believe tend to help build up health and vigor is dancing. In the first place this exercise, which in itself might be good for the body, is usu- ally done to the strains of exciting music and young people are likely to become over -stimulated. And ip the second place it is usually done in- side, where there is often a lack of air, and carried on fa alto the night, when folk would better be sleeping. • If dancing were done on greens, in the open air, and during daylight hours, as it used to be done in olden times, I wouldn't have -a word to say against if. Day time sports, start- ing in the early morning, say about seven o'clock, and then long, restful hours of refreshing sleep is what would really constitute a helpful holiday. "An 'old fogy!" .1 can hear mutter. Well, erhaps so; but just ask your family doctor if I'.m not right. . Those who, cannot arrange a holi- day, and many cannot manage it, should try to vary their work a bit in some way. Sleeping in a tent in the back yard, oe on a porch, is a lieip; having meals in the garden or an a side verandah makes a little variety; getting up and doing one's work in the early morning and then taking a long rest in the heat of the day is another Way to vary the mon- otony. Everyone would be the bet- ter of changing their routine during the summer' just as much as pos- sible. In this way the feeling of be- ing on a treadmill and not being able to get off it, which makes life wearisome, is changed to a feeling of freedom and aliveness. We should not allow ourselves to become ma- chines. We should be masters of our souls, And we can be, no mat- ter how much we are down by cir- cumstances, if we keep our spirits :free.

The farmer tequires feeds, fer. tilizer, limestone, bindertwine, oi'I, lumber, machinery and a host of other things - to manufaeture $arm products. The farmer also has lo consider the weather which is a very uncertain; factor, Therefe(re cost of production of farm products is an unknown quantity, as every case is different. While he cannot control the weather, the farmer can control costs of raw materials. T1ie time to estimate feed requirements is dfter the harvest, not after the home-grown grains are fed and it suddenly dawns on the feeder that he must buy. Fertilizer require- ments may readily be estimated be- forehand. Other empor ta'nt items may •be estimated and purchased to advantage before required. Bulk buying is best. It costs the feed man more to sell a bag of feed than a ton. It will cost the farmer less to take his own delivery in most cases. The credit system is conductive to extra costs and should be avoided. Farmers will do well to stick to pro- ven commodities and standard mater- ials until new ones- have been tested. Although recent heavy, rains re- tarded haying operations and flat- tened .out fields of grainin. many dis- tricts, the harvest 'is progressing nicely. Yields of fail wheat were re- ported excellent, while pastures have improved considerably due .to the fall of moisture, Root crops are coming on rapidly and corn is doing especially well in tnost counties. Oats and barley promise a heavy yield. Apple scab has been difficult to control this year due to the sultry weather. The potato crop looks good and there is every indication of a heavy yield. Experimental Plot Work Field inspection tours of demon- stration experimental plots in East- ern Ontario by 0. A. C. officials have been in . progress during the month of July. Crops in general in this section are particularly good and response of crops to fertility treatment is quite marked, Especial- ly is this true of potatoes and wheat. In a fertility test conducted by the 0. A. C. Department of Chemistry in Bruce County, new potatoes have been running 110 bags per acre. Hogging' Corn Saves Feed In a series of tests the practice "hogging" corn; i.e., turning hogs i to a field of mature corn to feed show that material economies meal feed are possible and that th returns from hogs so fed 'are suite atantially greater than the cost growing the corn. The type of ho developed is entirely satisfactory the practice of "hogging" saves eon siderable labour in feeding; and it supplies considerable grain for growing hogs at a time when farm grains are most scarce. An ample supply of fresh water must be avaiI- able on the hogging lot, and tank- age supplied by a self -feeder is de- -- sirable. oe n - r in e of g.

County Sheep, Dipping Week Halditnand County . has set a good example in the way of a County Sheep Dipping and Drenching Week, which was conducted this spring. Fifteen demonstrations in dipping and drenching were made at the var- ious dipping tanks in the county, more than 3,200 sheep were treated for external parasites and about 80 per cent for internal parasites. The response to the campaign was be- yond Acpectations and farmers ape. pear to realize the value of giving their flocks the •best of attention, The campaign was carried out in co-operation with the Ontario and Dominion Livestock Branches, and under supervision of A.-0. Skinner, local agricultural representative, Fertilizer and Sow Thistle The 0. A, C. Department of Bot- any is Conducting an experiment to test various methods for the eradic- • ation of sow thistle. In the expert' Ment one-half of each plot received complete fertilizer, while the other half was left unfertilived. In the un- fertilized portions the, sow thistle plants were more numerous and were always larger and more vigor- ous than those in the fertilized sec- tions. The plants in the Iatter plots were dwarfed and showed no indica- tion of flowering this season. Government Turkey Farm Dr. G. I. Christie and Professor Graham of 0. A. C. visited the Government turkey farm at Forest- ville in Norfolk County recently. This project was started five years ago on a farm consisting almost en- tirely of blowsand, At present there are some 1800 birds at range -with 580 more expected. Some of the old- est birds at nine weeks old had at- tained the weight of '7 pounds and were expected tobe ready for mar - ice by :September. The system employed on the fart is to move the young: birds, which are incubator hatched, into field -hooses at the age of two weeks. These houses ate pieced in fields of young rye in which the birds are at lowed free range: By this method and with the help of green manure crops ploughed under, a relatively good soil is being built up. Buying Raw Materials,. George R. Paterson, in charge of In 1027 Ontario exported 29 car- loads of apples. In 1929, 120 carloads went overseas and in 1930 it had in- creased to 390 carloads. This year the Government cotifidentlly looks forward to a' total export of 800 car- loads, nearly all of it destined for the English market. • Spray Service Invaluable Prof. Hewitt .of 0, A. C. has secur- ed reports from agricultural repre- sentatives and spray supervisors as to the results being obtained in their respective counties. The fol- lowing statement from Dundas and Wiest Stormont counties is typical of alt reports received: "Every or- chard has shown decided improve- ment since going into the spray ser- vice. The best example of what can be accomplished is found in results obtained in an orchard near Iroquois. In 1928 they harvested one thousand barrels of apples which were 35% clean. In 1929 they had twelve hun- dred barrels of apples which were almost 100 per cent clean. In 1920, they harvested 1700 barrels and in the whole crop found eight apples with scab." Raspberry Control General control treasures for rasp. berries are summarized by Canadian authorities as follows: 1. Use nothing but clean healthy certified stock, Demand such stock from your nurseryman. • Bradlee • active tying an not rep least three h crops legumes Destroy wild es in varieties. 3. )t clean cultivation. 4. Pr rotation of crops. Af- ter destroying old raspberry plan- tation do lant it to berries for at lea or four years. Grow some sue as corn, grasses •eereals, 1 eta. 5, raspberries or blackberries the vicinity of the cultivated s. 6. Remove fruiting canes as' soon after harvest as possible. At the same`time dig' and destroy all badly diseased plants, • 7.System atieally remove from0 the plantation and burn all' roguod p plants, or runnings. Will ,Select Junior Judges Ontario will be represented by s team in the junior grain -judging competitions to be held at the World's Grain 'Exhibition in Regina in 1982, This decision was reached at the recent annual convention of agricultural representatives at: Guelph, The tez,pns will be selected by elimination contests, probably at four different points in the province. The five boys obtaining highest score at each of ;these contests will be taken to O.A.C. and there given further training. The three boys who score highest out of the twenty will represent the province. Intense interest in the junior grain judging ,competitionsas well as in the inter - agricultural college class, is evident in every province. The generous awards offered are - provng particu- larly attractive apart altogether from the, opportunity afforded • jun- toes and .young college students ' of receiving excellent training in grain judging work. THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1921, califs, Scram Dundas Highway 0.00 p.m Sunday, Traffic heavy in both di rection . '. and slow. There's a bad curve about two miles west of 'Cooksville running 021 to a long very steep, curving hill. I was parked just off the- exact center of the curve at the top of the hill. A chap- with a big, heavy car headed_ west hurtled past vie al- most on two wheels and started down the hill on the wrong side of the white line. He saw me and tried to edge back into line, but the west traffic was bumper to bumper. • Ile couldn't get in. .Halfway up the hill was a driver coming east at a good .speed. 010 one thing saved deveraI lives. The man coming up the hill -took to the ditch, fortunately a shallow one. He managed to hurdle it, went through a fence onto some plowed land, and came to a stop with lamps, bumper and radiator'• practically wrecked, Quickly I inspected the ear and found that luckily, no one was seriously hurt. Then I .took after the driver who caused the accident. Two miles west I caught up with him. The charge was reckless driving and failure to return to the scene of an accident. The Moral is that a few minutes saved 'by cutting in and out of traf- fic may be very expensive in 'both actual money and human misery.

This is One way in which we se- cure the waterwe require,'lefet we should, in addition drink water regu 7aely. It is impossible to say how much water we should drink each day. On hot days, we perspire much more freely than at other times. Physical exertion. at work or at play also causes us to perspire. 'Because of these differences, we require more water in hot weather than we do during the cold season, and more if we are physically active than when we are resting quietly.' ' We are convinced however,that many persons would be better if they used more water. We suggest that a glass or two of water before breakfast and between meals is a drink habit that should be cultivated It will keep up the supply of fluids the body requires, and will help to promote regular elin'iination. !There is no objection to the use of beverage's with meals, providing, the fluid is not used to wash down food. A drink should never be taken while there is food in the mouth. Another thing to avoid is the tak- ing of a cold drink' just before a meal. At that time, the blood vesills of the stomach are dilated and the digestive glands are active. A flood of cold water at this time upsets this necessary arrangement for the diges- tion of the meat which is about to be eaten. slowly, drink slowly. Remember that moderation is the' key to health. .•,The body shouldbe kept clean by regular bathing. More 'baths are re- quired in summer than in winter be- cause we p_reepire more in the warm weather. A clean skin helpsetoeeep the body healthy, makes for personal comfort and prevents disagreable body odours. Wash the hands thoroughly before each meal; this simple habit will do much to protect you from disease, We are not suggesting anything difficult here, Where there is -water available, there is no reason why it should not be used freely. • Try to develop the habit of drink- ing water between meals, and see if it does not help you to keep healthy.

'A Newspaper is the Mouthpiece of a Community and lacking a newspaper the Community, is Dumb. An individual who is dumb can get along, but eyerybody will admit that it is done tinder a very severe handicap. People judge a Community by its Newspaper. If it is prosper- ous and up-to-date they conclude that the community is the same, Some Communities have better Newspapers than they deserve -- few have worse ones. The forward-looking, progressive and up-, to -date citizen gives generous support to the local Newspaper, knowing that by so doing he is assi sting in making the whole Com- munity progressive and• up-to-date, The progressive citizen also makes good use of the Newspaper. When he has any news worth publishing he passes it on to the editor; when he has first-hand knowledge of any important happening in the community he puts the editor wise. He suggests public improvement to the editor so that they may be 'brought to the attention of the public and, above all, he uses its advertising eolumns to boost his own business. 'The establishment of friendly rtkations between -the business men and the local. newspaper is mutually, beneficial.
