An Old -Fashioned Quilting Bee Our men folks had a big wood bee, The women must do the same, They went to the Manse one after- noon,, And took four quilts out of the frame. o. g Mrs. 'Newans she went ahead And marked the blocks just so, And then stepped around and put us to work, I was wishing she would stub her toe, Mr. Douglas and Lena Kelly, They both did do their share, And Mrs McNeil would do the same, But it happened she wasn't there. But if you want a good job done, Just call up Mrs. Fitch, She -would do the whole thing .herself And shove you into the ditch. But Mrs. Hakney beat them all, She can both work and talk, But say, there would have been some crooked lines, If they hadn't :been marked with chalk. Mrs. F. Johann talks a lot too, But not about her neighbors, We full well know that some sweet day She'll be rewarded for her labors. Miss Hakney was very quiet, Her mind was on her work, But M. Jeffray, they all did say, Was a regular little shirk. There was none of us a bit sorry When invited out to tea, For Mrs. Herd, we all well know, Can cook for a quilting bee. We were anxious for a right good laugh, Before we left for home, So we just rolled George up in the quilt, Why, didn't you hear him. moan? Central Potato Grading Established at Toronto In an effort to offer the consumer still further satisfaction," said J. T. Cassin, "the Central Ontario Potato Growers' Association has established a central grading station, in Toronto. "Growers are now shipping pota- toes to this station, where their pro- duct will be graded and bagged, the •entire operation being effected by the most modern machinery. "In my estimation," commented Mr. Cassin, "this will prove to be the most practical step, in assuring the consumer of top quality and uniform- ity of pack." British Meat Importations ' Big Item in Foreign Trade J, A: Carroll, Director, Markets :Branch, states that the import of meat into the LTninted i' .ingdom from the United States, Agentina and Den- mark iii Particular, is a very consid- erable item in British foreign trade. He further stated that reports in- dicate the British Empire as having one-third of the world's sheep, forty per z rcrr t of its cattle e butromore t than four per cent of its pigs. British Apple Market The current' newsletter from An- drew Fulton, overseas fruit • represen- tative, states that the outlook appears mare promising, for a steadier apple market in the United Kingdom, as the indications are for supplies to be slightly lighter, from North America, with better regulated distribution, It is the opinion of the: trade that good quality red dessert apples such as Baldwins, tryill eoittinne to be in de -w„„ rxlin' Charlie )1 "It f Y pafieitwrit a *eatLenten} mninuf fon a�• _fool mand at values ranging from 24 to 28 shillings a barrel for No. • 1 grade. in sound hard. condition. The Dom- estic grade should range from 18 to 24 shillings, according to the amount of colour and attractiveness of the fruit. Russets are meeting a good de- mand and Ben Davis will be wanted as red apples become more scarce. The above prices, Mr. Fulton re- marks, are given only as a guide, as nobody can foretell exactly what the supplies will be between now and March, and supplies greatly influence values. Ontario shippers are advised to keep their apples moving regular- ly 'each week to the markets best suited for the varieties and sizes av- ailable in order to realize the best average prices. Layers Need a Real Home While there are many factors that enter into the management of the poultry flock, there is nothing that will have greater influence an the poultry raiser's success or failure than the way in which he houses his flock. Birds of good breeding, no matter how well fed, will not return maximum ' profits unless well housed. The poultry house is the hen's hone and to be comfortable and give good production, the hduse should have proper ventilation, insulation and san- itation; it should have a proper loca- tion, plenty of light, be dry and have ample floor space.
