KLNG ARTHUR'S HALL
A hovel and interesting building
"las been 'completed at Tintagel, Eng -
tend, planned by "The Fellowship of
the Knights of the Round Table of
ging Arthur" whose members have
-eladged themselves to perpetuate the
edeals of King Arthur who is known
as live fountain -head of chivalry. The
feel when they conte to Tintagel, sur-
rounded by those things which are 01
great interest to them, and iu assoc-
iation with those who are keen stud-
ents, admirers, and lovers of King
Atrhur and his Knights.
Cornwall is rich in many kinds of
stone, and this provided the oppor-
tunity tocarry out the idea 01 using
native stone without having to go
front the land 0 King Arthur for the
material. Various granites, altered
granites. and. micro -granites are used
to symbolize the strength of King
Arthur.
There are no doors in this Hall.
Arclies lead from it into a covered
corridor, which surrounds the whole
of the building. In the corridor arc
forty-nine stained-glass windows, in
each of :which are portrayed the her-
aldic device cif one of the Knights f
the old Vellowshilh of the Round
Table or a device which :las some re-
ference to the new Fellowship,
Seventy - three beautiful stained
glass windows adorn the hall, all be-
ing made as one great work by an
artist who had to design 1110101 so that
the full symbolic and spiritual inean-
jng of the story can be conveyed to
others by and through them.
'these windo'ws all bear sone rela-
tion to each other in connection with
the story of Kieg Arthur and' the
Koi1ahto of the bound Table, and col-
lectively form a great World -Fellow-
ship of Love.
They are so colored that the light
obtained from each of ahem to a cer-
tain extent correspond with the vir-
tue window represents. The colors
also correspond with the colors of the
rain'b'ow, the purple being at one end
of the Hall and the golden red at the
other end,

AD,VI!SORY AGRICULTURAL
COUNCILiS REPORT
The (Advisory 'Agricultural Cottnci
reported to the County 'Council at th
December meeting as follows
(Gentlemen, — Il\Te, your ;Advisory
Agricultural Council, 'beg to report
as follows: The semi-annual meeting
of the Advisory Agricultural Council
was held in the Agricultural i0 lice,
Clinton, on Wednesday afternoon,
November 28th. The (five members of
the Council were in attendance. M -
ter a few opening remarks, the Chair,.
man, 'lir. Cardiff, mentioned the 'first
item for discussion which was "The
Weed Control Act." Considerable
time was spent in studying some pro-
posed changes in the 'Act and its ad-
ministration. A copy of the reco•m-
mendations of .the Council is being
forwarded •by the 'Agricultural 'Rep-
resentative, to !leer. J'. iD, ISunitli, Di-
rector of, the Crops, Weeds and :Seeds
Branch, (Ontario Department .of Ag-
riculture, Th e next item for consid-
eration was the IB'ot Control Pro-
gramme !for the winter months, Mr,
MacLeod read .two letters, one from
the 'Veterinary ,Pathologist of Sas-
katchewan, and one from the Pro-
vincial "Veterinarian of Alberta, In
which it •was stated that 'both ':Prov-
inces had experienced some losses in
districts lwvherc horses had been treat-
ed tt'ith carbon disulphide capsules
for the eradiaction of bots. Another
letter from IDr, .George S. !Hilton,
Veterinary Director General for Can-
ada, was to the effect that as the oar
bon 'disulphide treatment has been
used extensively in many countries,
it must be accepted as apparently safe
if administered skilfully by a qualified
veterinarian; 'The Council are of the
opinion that it might be best not to
attempt a County wide campaign for
the eradication of Bots bu t that the
Agricultural Representative should
address meetings and assist in the or-
ganization of any districts wishing to
take this matter up, fader the head-
ing of 'Warble Fly Control," some
discussion took place regarding the
advisability of petitioning the 'Coun-
ty Council to purchase sufficient
Warble :Fly 'Powder for the treatment
of all ca ttle in the County in a
county wide campaign for the con-
trol of this nest. After due considera-
tion the Council decided against this
for the following reasons: (1) Be-
cause there are now a large nu tuber
of dealers in the County handling
Warble Fly Powder and. farmers in
inu.t cases are able to purchase their
requirements froma local dealer, (2)
Because farmers who treated their
cattle during the past two years re-
ceived no financial assistance in pun- F
chasing the necessary material, (3) d
(3 scan se urban municipalities contri e,
bute towards the county revenue and is
legislation for the purchase of 'Warble
Fly 'powder would only be of bene- K
lit to ratepayers in rural districts, tv
The Council, however, heartily in- st
dnrse the Warble :Fly Cantrell work re
and recommend that the A'gricultnr-
al Representative continue an educa- ab
tional campaign and urge farmers to th
treat their cattle in order to control 0
and eradicate this pest .fie r\grfcul- t.h

a number of regnest.s had been re- ' ha
ccived for information on the home ha
mixing of fertilizers and that farmers tin
generally were 'interested in securing to

commend that a series of six to ten the
meetings he arranged by Mr. Mac- frt
Leod and that the above mentioned (o
subjects be discussed at these sleet- ,\tr
Ings. The ntenl'hers of the Council pa

Winter Care of Live Stock
lVith the approach of winter farm-
ers should drake stere that the 'barns
in which their stock are to pass .the
cold months are clean and free from
possible infectious diseases or para-
sites. Most progressive stockmen
whitewash their stables at least once
a year, but frequent cdutings with an
old broom are needed to keep the
cobwebs and dust down, Before the
cattle leave the pastures for the sea-
son, it is good practice to inspect the
whole herd for possible skin disease
as ring -worm, scab or mange, lice or
warbles, are dangerous and each needs
special treatment. Ring -worn is
doubly dangerous because humans
may contract it through handling of
from curry -combs and brushes. Tinc-
ture of iodine applied daily following
washing. with soap and water will cure
rung -worm, but scabies or mange
need to be dipped in or sprayed with
special solutions such as crude petrol-
eum or equal parts of kerosene and
Cottonseed oil, which mixture is also
recommended for lice. No animal can.

Current Crop Report
Mild weather in November result-
ed in many farmers leaving their
stock out, thus sating considerable
roughage and relieving the feed short-
age situation. It has also enabled far-
mers to complete their fall work un-
der favorable conditions, Too many
potato growers in South Simeoe have
been forced to market their crops
because of having inadequate storage
facilities, This results in an over-
supply on the -market and depressedl
prices. Buyers in lialdinlapd are of-
fering as high as $1.0() to $1.115 bus,
for Durham wheat, Potato sales in
d'rontrnac are fairly heavy, with
prices ranging from 500 to 60c a bag,
Two carloads of cattle have been ex-
ported from Grenville to the L ,S.A,,
with up to $;1571 being paid for ac-
credited and blood -tested COWS, 3(181

packed, government inspected dress-
ed poultry, were shipped out of Pres-
cott and Russell last week. Grade
