1 Called at a farm home one day
`aeaseh of winter for an overheated
deter. Rapping gently on the kit-
bea door, I ,was met by the good
ilei of the boucle_
i... '1 7 I have a :pall of water?" 1
naked.
"roll may," ebe said, handing me
*'Pail and pointing to the pump. I
noticed p d that her andeLinger and her
thin seemed to - oo•f 'in "unison when
„ape indicated the direction of the
pump.. .._
"Shrewd old girl," 1 thought, as
the Water flowed into the pail. "1
Will try and draw her out. I wonder
how she puts in the time. What le
ebe thinking about anyway?"
•.Paras Woman's View of the Quiet
i... Life. ,,
After filling the radiator with the
clear, oold water, 1 returned to the
door with the borrowed pail. No
need of rapping this time. She met
tee with a kindly Smile.
"You "have a nice farm here," I
!Aid. "You must have a nice quiet
121. in the country where everything
about you is lust plain wholesome
nature.:' -•
'Quiet Ilfel" she said with some
emphasis. "dust plain nature?" "Yes
just too much so, so much so that we
want to get away from it a11, and
bo natural."
Somewhat surprised at her exprea-
Mons,'especially the "be natural," 1
bad always thought that if there was
any place where a person could be
natural it was on the farm.
The Monotony of Farm Living.
I asked, "Why do you want to get
away?"
She replied, "We have no life here.
My husband and 1 get up at live
n'e1oek every morning. He at once
goes to the barna to feed the stock,
While I get the breakfast and attend
the poultry. We hurry through
'breakfast, and then he rushes away
to the barn or fields, returning at
;noon for one half hour in which to
eat his diner. After dinner he is
.Away again until supper time, when
he returns tired from work in the
.fields, pretty well worn by the long
monotonous day of heavy labor. As
for me, why, I attend the house work.
Yes, I attend the house work In sil-
ence all day long, and that le what
gets my goat. I do not hear the
sound of another voice frcm one day's
end to another. No woman to talk
to, no neighbor handy by where I.
could call for a chat. No chance to
exercise my tongue.
18'aran Women Fed Up With Silence.
"We farm women get fed up with
o much silence. It is somewhat dif-
.,fferc; i°"with the men,they are working
.with animals and do not feel the
'loneliness as we women do. Once
'a week is not often enough for wo-
men to get together. Being kept
apart so long is it any wonder that
our tongues wag at both ends when
all opportunity to talk does come."
Is There a Panacea for Rural Lone-
linees?
Ater hearing that little ser-
rnonette, 1 unconsciously started for
ie car that I had left standing on
be roadway. Coming to my senses
'after a time, I began to think, just
'what there was in what the lady of
the farm home had to say, and re-
peated to myself her words, "No
•`obance to exercise my tongue, go
;much silence."'
Perhaps, after all, the farm Is too
',Holy a place for the average wo-
'man of to -day, and with the trend
of modern living it will be a more
'lonesome place in the future unless
ieomething happens to change ideas
land Ideals.
Gan anyone suggest a solution of
;the problem? -L, Stevenson, 0, A. 0.,

'Handle Cream for Butter Carefully.
Cream may be a little sour, but, 1f
it la clean and free from foreign
odors and tastes, it will make fancy
'butter in the bands of an expert but-
termaker. Cream approaching ran-
iofdtty and carrying with It particles
'of dirt, whiffe of ,undesirable odors,
and a taste of the barnyard or cellar
never loses its identity. The butter
it enters into is that which drags on
the market and agile at a low pries.
To argue that because certain neigh-
bors are oarelese with their cream
provides a reason why no one needs
W be careful is illogical. Produce
and 'handle your cream 'in k careful,
cleanly manner, deliver it, frequently
and then demand a price In keeping
with the 'quality,

Are Canadian farmers getting the
full advgatage of their home market?
A study of the import figures for the
decal year ending March Slat last
reveals the amazing extent to which
the food stuffs we most pride our-
selves in producing are imported for
consumption In Canada,
Take fruits for instance. Of apples
we imported 155,201 barrels worth
5776.819, h`hey . weren't all early
apples either, for 30,028 barrels were
e
brought in during March. During th
year v,„imported: Berries, $114
cherries, e• e
s 83 4
$ 3 9, cranberries,
anberries,
$21,894; grapes, $661,443; peaches,
5403,312; pears, $566,729; plums,
$303,495, and strawberries, $785,-
U0;p a $1,f 88,22
et $3,907,083, Add to
this $1,786`,522 for dried apples, apri-
cots, peaches, plums and prunes, and
$492,828 for canned peachesjellies
and jams and imported9sfruits and
feeit juices being $2e,409.4351 be-
sides an Item of $3,7:28,415 for nuts.
Much of this was, oil course, for sub-
tropical fruits, but some of these
might be substituted, to our financial
and gustatory advantage, by home
grown products. For instance, we
might eat moreroast apples and few-
er oranges. While dealing with mat-
ters horticultural a bill for $1,064,-
311 for plants, shrubs, trees and
vines might be mentioned
Corning to vegetables, our total bill
for the fresh article was 53,575,070,
of which cabbage accounted for
$187,689, onions for $487,009, pota-
toes for $537,291 and tomatoes for
$965,941, a total for these four com-
monly grown articles of 52,177,930.
Of canned vegetables we imported
5626,210 worth; of sauces, catsups
and pickles, 5518,660. Our total out-
lay for vegetables and vegetable pro-
ducts reached the considerable sum
of nearly $5,000,000.
We have a great dairying country
In Canada, yet we purchased abroad
during the year $1,844,212 worth of
milk and its products. This included
$1,349,819 for 3,767,573 lbs, of but-
ter, 5827,022 for 916,517 lbs. of
cheese, $46,887 for condensed milk,
$92,710 for casein, and even 528,274
for sweet milk ana cream. Our but-
ter importations were supplemented
by 1,165,440 lbs, of imported oleo-
margarine.
Our foreign grain bill amounted to
$11,275,682, though this Included
57,695,280 for feed corn, and
$2,020,696 for rice, of which 18,000,-
000 lbs. came from China. Milled
products cost us $685,895, and pre-
pared foods and bakery products an-
other 5500,000.
Our total imports under the head
"'Agricultural and Vegetable Pro-
ducts, Mainly Food" came to the
rather startling total of 5108,701,-
762. We could l.ardly be expected,
however, to produce our own tea,
coffee and spices, though we might
considerably reduce our sugar bill,
which now amounts to approximately
540,000,000 a year, by growing more
beets.
We also imported 520,936,298
worth of alcoholic beverages, which,
as we all know, are mostly derived
from theproducts of the farm. it
may be, however, that some of our
exported grains and fruits returned
to us in this highly manufactured
form. -R. D. Colquette, Dept. of
Agioultural Economics, 0. 4.. C.

The Mystery of Nitrogen.
Since animal life must depend
upon plant life for Its support, we
must first learn how nitrogen gets
from the air into the plant. Every
farm boy has seen the grain turn
yellow at times in the very early
spring and especially that which was
growing in the dead furrows of the
fields. This occurr largely because
there isn't enough nitrogen in. the
right form for the plants to get at
this time of the year. As a single
element existing alone, neither ani-
mals nor the green pinata can use
nitrogen, and yet the air is the source
of the entire supply for all life.
I1 we go back into history of Ro-
man agriculture, we will Ond that
even the farmers of that time knew
enough to grtrw :legumes. Evan
though all of.this c as known, it was
not until 1887 that the reason for it
was discovered, 'then it was that
the little swellings always round on
the roots of legumes were discovered
to contain countlum numbers of min-
ute formsof life, new known as bac-
teria. Later it was learned that these
Lltie workers had a great deal to do
with keeping the Buil In fit condition
for the growing of crops, for they,
in their magic way of living, are cap-
able oe taking the nitrogen out of
the air that is in soil and making
it become a part of the soil coni
pounds, In this way we have the
cheapest means of keeping up the
nitrogen supply of the soil. --,-Hoard's
Dairyman.
No Alcohol in Silage Milk.
Satisfactory evidence has been ad-
duced to show that by the feeding. of
corn silage alcohol is transferred to
the milk. While it is true that adage
does have traders of alcohol in It, yet
it is altogether Probable that the al-
cohol, as well ae the acids of silage,
are completely burned up In the cow
and never passes even In minute
traces into the milk.
The poultry house should be built
as low as possible without danger of
the attendants bumping their heads
against the' telling,. A low house is
more easily warmed than a high one,

It Works! Try It
Tells how to loosen a sore,
tender corn so It Ms
out without pain.
~ Good news spreads rapidly and drug-
gists here are kept busy dispensing
freezone, the ether discovery of a Cin-
cinnati man, which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost very
little, but is said to be sufficient to rid
one's feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus. re
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the Dorn
is so swiveled that it lifts out with-
out pain. It is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the adjoin-
ing tissue, •
aThis discovery will prevent thou-
sands of deaths annually from lockjaw
and infection heretofore resulting from
tale suicidal habit of cutting corna,y,,
