It is sur- prising how accurate and quick- ly one can do thinning and weeding of even tiny stuff with a long -handled sharp hoe or, cul- tivator provided the same is narrow or comes to a point. The D -shaped dutch hoes are excel- lent things i!or killing weeds and loosening up the top soil, but one must be careful in us- ing too close to sprawly vege- tables and flowers. There are all sorts of tiny rakes, trowels and cultivators. With any of this equipment the work will be cut in two it the edges are kept sharp and clean. An old file will he handy. Soil Building If the vegetable garden is a fair size and a little bigger than we really need for the whole season, it is an excellent idea and a labour saver to set a strip aside and plant this with some Over crop like buckwheat, oats, or clover, sown fairly thick and broadcast. Soon this crop take over, chokes out the weeds, and we let it grow for several weeks. Then when a foot or so high and still green, we have it plowed or spaded under. In this way we save ourselves the trouble Of constant cultivation to keep the weeds down and we do something more, we add valuable humus and fertility to the soil. It is really amazing what a few cover crops turned. under will do in the way of loosening up the heaviest clay or adding what is termed body to sandy soil. Year Round Enjoyment The average European expects to get pleasure and food out of las garden every day ha the year. Of coursehis winters are usually much milder, but we can learn a great deal from these experienced old country people just the same. In far too mai . cases the Canadian gar- depo thinks just of a few mouths in the summer and even less'when it comes to vegetables. It's feast or • famine. A few weeks when the lettuce, spin- ach and radishes are just right. A few days of feasting on green peas or fresh corn, a little longer for tomatoes perhaps, and cu - ambers and melons. 'That's pretty wasteful gar - SKIN OF HIS TEETH - Take it for what it's worth, but ma- gician George Grimmond of London claims he can catch bullets in his teeth. A marked bullet is fired point - blank at the 55 - year - old Grimmond, who immediately is seen with a similarly marked bullet in his teeth. The trick has been branded a hoax, but six magi- cians have been killed while performing the stunt. • Barbecue Sauces Dress Up Spring's Chickens for Your Table By DOROTHY MADDOX The barbecue season is almost here. Here are recipes for two special sauces which are delicious and di:erent. Broiled Barbecued Chicken (2 servings) One and orb -half to 21/2 -pound chicken, lea cup melted butter, If chicken is frozen, thaw. Split chicken into 2 halves. Rinse in cold water. Dry. Break hip, knee, and wing joints. Pour lemon sauce (see below) over chicken and allow to stand one hour. Drath, Pull leg and wing to the body and hold in place by skewers to make a compact piece. Season with salt and pepper, Place on broiler pan 6 to 7 inches under heat source. Broil slowly. Turn every le to 15 minutes and brush with melted butter. Repeat for 40 minutes or until tender. Lemon Sauce One clove garlic, 14 cup salad oil, ½ cup lemon juice, 2 take - spoons grated onion, 3/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme. Hart sauce is another special treat for serving with chicken, Chicken with Hain Sauce (4 servings) One chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, ready -to -cook weight; 3 table- spoons cooking oil, 1 cup diced onion, 1 cup slivered, cooked ham; 2 tablespoons flour, 8 -ounce can tomato sauce, 3 -ounce can sliced, broiled mushrooms, 1,4, cup concentrated orange juice, 1/2 tea- spoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cut chicken in serving -size pieces, wash and dry carefully. Heat oil in large heavy skillet or Dutch oven over moderate heat. Add chicken and brown quickly on all sides. Remove from skillet.- Add onion and ham, Cook, stirring :frequently, for about 3 minutes. Blend in flour, add tomato sauce and mushrooms, orange juice, salt, pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. cd4, ig';•:-.,'t,e0t0.4eti.414-0.11•914' 4 it1:44Sig Springtime barbecue is a zestful treat for all when tangy beton sauce is used to marinate the bird. Return chicken to skillet, cover and simmer gently until meat. is tender, about 15 minutes, turning and basting occasionally. Serve with hot rice, spaghetti or noodles. dening. With the many varieties we have today, it is possible to spread even relatively short sea- son things like corn peas and spinach over w e e k s. This spreading can be further ex- tended by planting each variety and type at least three times, first earlier than usual, then about the average time and finally two or three weeks later. In this way we get far more volume and far higher quality, too. Handling Slopes Except where the garden lay- out is very tiny, a sharp dif- ference in levels can be really into an advantage. Here we can use something different, like a rock garden or a series of steps or a stone wall perhaps, or a hedge. We use these to break the connection between the up- per and lower level. This will add to the attractiveness and individuality of any layout. The general plan is to make both the upper and lower parts level, then take up the differ- ence between in one slope. If there is a very big difference, a wall will probably be necessary with steps coming down. But quite a difference, up to three feet or more, can often be ab- sorbed by a rock garden or even a combination of shrubs, trees and flowers. The shrubs and trees, of course, hold the sloping soil, especially during spring run offs. •.- yentilation of barns requires more air circulation during the spring and fall season than dur- eng the winter. When the out- side temperature is 40 degrees above zero, 6 to 10 times more air is needed than at 20 below zero, according to W. Kalbfleisch of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Under mild con- ditions natural flue ventilation is inadequate but fans can pro- vide a positive movement of air. * The primary purpose of barn ventilation is to remove mois- ture from the building. When tht cold, outside air is moved through a barn it picks up a large amount of moisture. In contrast to this the outside air in April and October is normal- ly damp and does not pick up much moisture when passing through the barn. At an outside temperature of 40 degrees and a barn tempera- ture of 50 degrees, about 100 cu- bic feet of air is required to remove the moisture produced by a dairy cow. For a barn with 25 cows, a fan should have a capacity of at least 2,500 cubic feet per minute operating on a PUZiLE CROSSWORD A (21tOSS 11, Kin queen 1. c onstellation 8, 8,8 4100 4.

Above this temperature, the air re- quirements increase so rapidly that it is. advisable tp open all doors and windows to secure sufficient ventilation. • To handle small amounts of air during the middle of the winter and a large volume in the spring and fall, it is desirable to use two or more fans in large barns. With this arrangement one fan can be operated in cold weather and all fans during mild weather. In smaller barns of less than 30 cows, it is more economical to use one fan with a double speed motor or a unit having belt pulleys of two or three sizes. By this means the air flow through the barn carbe regu- lated and the. clanger of cold drafts reduced during the cold weather. Millions of board feet of tim- ber are destroyed annually by forest insects. To combat this de- struction, forest entomological laboratories have been estab- lished in all timber producing provinces of Canada. Pest con- trol is not a simple thing and there is still much to be learned in this field of research. The coming World Congress of en- tomology to be held in Montreal next Apgust, should give lead- ing scientists from all over the world an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas on the sub - jock P,xtensive killing of trees by lee eating insects such as the spruce budworm is the most COTISOICUOUS type of damage caused by forest insects. Epi- demics of this nature may be so widespread and resulting tree mortality so great that it is im- possible to salvage dead timber before it begins to deteriorate. Wood beetles and ambrosia beetles, aided by sap -rotting fuegi, cause rapid deterioration of standing dead trees, This vastly increase( the difficulty of carrying out profitable salvage operations, E5tabli4ly10dnl of pl an La Lions or healthy, well formed trees is also interfered will by insects. Common damage, resulting in deformities and stunted growth, is caused' by euch pests as the white pine weevil, and Euro- pean pine shoot moth. Depletion of the seed supply of valuable coniferous trees is caused by a number of insects which attack the developing seeds and cones. This type of injury has assumed greater im- portance in recent years due to increased demands for forest tree seed both at home and abroad. One impostant pnase of forest research is the operation of a • forest insect survey. This infor- mation supplies a continuous record of infestations and their periodic fluctuations in all parts of Canada. * Natural control measures are presently being studied and used in conjunction with chemical control. Parasites, introduced :from abroad, and a virus disease, have effectively controlled the European spruce sawfly. Not many years ago this insect was rated as the most serious threat to the spruce stands of eastern North America. Also a European virus, introduced in 1949 to com- bat the European pine sawfly, has been used successfully in aerial spraying operations to protect plantations of Scots pine in southern Ontario. Introduc- tion of predacious insects is an- other means of natural control which has shown some merit in recent years. Some species have been imported from Europe to combat the balsam woolly aphid in the Maritime provinces. How They Live In The Philipines Behind the mountains of Bag- uio, the summer capital of the Philippines, a mother's work be- gins even before the sun has risenhile the Wleaves in the fruit yard drip with dew, Doneii pre- pares the family breakfast. Her pot of sweet potatoes is sup- ported by three stones arranged in a triangle and set on a firm, level spot. Direct heat comes from the burning firewood ar- vanged in between the stones. While breakfast is being cook- ed. Doneii's husband is out in the rice fields doing whatever important work can be done in the cool of the morning. A little before mid-morning, he arrives from work and break- fast is all ready for him. He eats his sweet potatoes and after- wards a cup of hot rich cocoa bought from the village gro- cery store or from fruit pods of the cacao tree which grows in the back yard. After Doneii serves her husband, then she eats with the children. How Doneii can keep her days' and weeks' work in order without any memo calendar is sometimes a wonder. Two weeks ago, she noticed that her sweet potato patch in Dontog needed to be weeded, there were cu- cumbers ready to be harvested, and a little space to be replant- ed' with corn. She must return after seven days and today is the eighth day. Since Doneii expects to stay in the patch until late afternoon, she niust bring her lunch. From the meat, which she salted and preserved by drying in the sun, she gets a $ew slices and roasts them in live charcoal. She wraps this together with newly cooked red rice in soft banana leaves and places this lunch in a small bamboo basket, As for water, there is a spring found not, far from her vegetable and potato patch. On the way to work, Dimon plays her bamboo musical in- strument. Aside from harvesting, weed- ing and planting, Doneii tills the ground -around the ' rOote 'or the sweet potato vines. She also takes mental note of the condi- tion of the fences around the patch. If they need any mend- ing, her husband must know about it. The afternoon now gone, Don- eii leaves for home, and gets there before her husband does. Her basket empty except for her lunch is now filled with sweet potatoes, cucumbers, a head of yellow squash, string beans, a hand of bananas, and even fire- wood. As soon as she arrives home, Doneii prepares for the evening meal. Aside from rice, she also cooks vegetables. She lets a pot of water boil and puts in chick- en meat chopped into small pieces. Irish potatoes cut into cubes are boiled with the meat. When both are tender, Doneii adds the green beans which she cleaned and broke into thirds while waiting for the meat and potatoes to cook. As an end product, Doneii has vegetables, meat and soup, the last of which has the flavor of the different ingredients which were cooked in the boiling water. The soup is equivalent to canned soup which the mod- ern house -mother buys from a supermarket, opens, and heats in a few minutes. For dessert, Doneii's family has either ba- nana, pineapple, or papaya - whichever fruit is in season. While Doneii does not have dish towel, she does not stack her dishes in an improvised cup- board. The dishes are dried out- side in a rack set beside the water jars. When the family is out in the fields so that the meal is cooked outside, tile plates are washed beside a running brook. Soft green grass leaves are as effec- tive as sponges and sand is used as a substitute for soap. The use of the sand on the enamel plates is just as . effective as any cleanser on silverware, china- ware, or glassware. After dinner, the family gathers around a fire and there is a give and take of stories as well as news of village events which have taken place during the day. When bedtime comes, Doneii brings out a wide mat and spreads it open on the floor which is made of clean and polished "rono" sticks w o v en and held together by rattan vines gathered from the forest. The floor of the hut is a few feet above ground level and R. Barclay 'Warren, B.A., BA, The Gospel for All 3/leu Acts 11:1-18 Memory Selection: 1 perceives that God is no respector Persons: but in every natio* he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is as: cepted with him. Acts 103a- 35. Jesus in his last interview with his disciples said, "Ye shale receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.: and ye shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria. and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Their first witness wan at Jerusalem, After the martyr - dein of Stephen they were scat- tered throughout Judea and Sa- maria. So far their ministry was to Jews. But the command had said. "Unto the uttermost part of the earth." That meant that the Gentiles were to hear the Good News of the Saviour. To' day's lesson relates how God spoke to the devout Roman cen- turion telling him to send for Simon Peter, Peter had to he prepared for the coming of the messengers by a vision also. Peter overcame his racial pre. judice and wept to the Roman's house. God poured out the Holy Spirit upon Cornelius and hie friends just as he had upon the Jews. Peter was prepared to face his Jewish brethren and related the wonderful experi- ence. He said in conclusion, "Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?" They all agreed, "Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repen- tance unto life." Every race thinks itself super- ior to all others. Paul said, "Gol -hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell ora all the face of the earth." Some races have advanced more ra- pidly in the development of the earth's resources. The Gospel u1 Jesus Christ is for all. Recently:we noticed a picture of Jesus with children of differ- ent races about him, The white child had a favored position. hi! a Chinese artist were doing such a painting he would give the yellow child the preferred posi- tion. Jesus actually loves the black child as much as either* Let us not despise those of othee races but humble ourselves an - der the mighty hand of God. there are several reasons :for this. Under the floor are kepi: baskets, gardening tools, the mortar and pestle. Also, one finds a bench or two which any foot traveler is welcome to use when he wants to rest on hie way to a distant place. The raised floor keeps stray animals like chickens and doge from entering the house. Prowl.- ers are likewise discouraged from gaining entrance. The stepladder is raised let the evening when the whole family retires, lowered in the morning, and raised up agate and kept in a secure place when the family has gone to the field& --- Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking CID3L1]E1 EIRIP 001E1„,riri iii Offillitilp:11141121E311, Eit113Z.,1010AEIWIE E3ff IMMIECNIEVAZIEMokl.a, tionittufflatinad,,, tgopmegiztacr -,,e.4.3111111MIN,,,-Elg1121100 CIAI1E2 ]II1 .41U 1018 IMION ,4111121 :„. vv HICKORY-DICKORY CLOCK - Unique timepiece beim shown by owner Wes Engles to a young friend must have been inspired by the old "Hickory, Dickory, Dock" nursery rhyme.
