Read this letter from a well satisfied user of "Silent Glow":
"During the winter I installed a 'SILENT GLOW' oil burner,
model W, in the circulating furnace in my 6 -room house.
I used the two burners only when it was very cold. This
winter I have used $42.00 worth of oil and saved $22.00 on
fuel with much more satisfaction, and with always an even
and healthy temperature."

'Some people have • the idea that
children are plastic and can bemould-
ed at will. When you hear someone
say that "their child will never do
such and so", you may rest assured.
that their children are young, or that
they have' no children at all. Any
:grarent who has children that are past
the very young stage, knows very
-swell that there are limits past which,
u cannot influence or direct a child.
ch child has their own distinct in-
dividuality and you can go so far in
changing it, and no farther. It is .well
that this is so. We inay comfort our-
selves with the idea, that any child
''whose conduct could be moulded at
would not be of strong charac-
Uet We all wish our children to be
•.af strong character,
We can all think of people who
ihave spoken very forcibly of what
-their children would be. One of our
friends was the proud father of a baby
-daughter. He spoke frequently and at
;length about what kind of a girl she
would be and no amount of teasing
;would convince him that she could be
i other than a blue-eyed, golden -haired,
lady -like girl, the•kind who would "sit
on a cushion and sew a fine seam•"
A dream -child. How did she. develop?
Why, she is a lovely little girl, but
her parents acknowledge that she ils
the worst torn -boy in the neighbor-
hood.
The wise parent will say very little
about what their child will be. That
we cannot tell. All that we can hope
to do, is to influence them to a cer-
tain extent, and to try to strengthen
their weaknesses, so that they will
have sufficient character to•carry on,
alone. We 'influence them. more by
what we are, than by what we say.
Height and Weight Charts
Too much .faith should not be put
in height and weight charts. At best
they are only a guide, and if your
child does not conform.to them, do
not worry. It is a wise precaution
to keep track of the children's weight.
There should be a steady slow gain.
If there has been no increase in
weight for a period of 3 months, it is
time to. check up and find the nigger
in the woodpile. There are many
things which may cause it. Teeth
should be looked after. Check, up on
the sleep. Late hours are one of the

It is very interesting to 'compare
your offspring's size with the aver-
age in the charts but as I said before,
they are not absolute. If you child
is very much, below in weight or 'very
much overweight, it might be well to'
poaisult a, doctor. Deep your own
chart and see that there is steady
growth and increase in weight.
Fruit Juice In Jelly
Do you ever add your left -over
canned fruit juice to your gelatine
desserts? It adds to the food value,
'changes the flavour and makes the
dish more interesting Today we us-
ed three-quarters of a cop of peach
juice, to replace the same quantity of
water, with an orange flavoured jelly
powder, and it made a delicious jelly.
There are many other co inntions
which are 'equally happy. Experiment
yourself; and you will find some new
flavours.
Fricasse of Chicken
Fricassed chicken is a delicious
way of using the less tender -fowl that
cannot be roasted. It makes .a con-
venient company dish as most of the
work can be done the day before.
The method is as follows: Ctit the
chicken in pieces suitable for serving.
Simmer in water to cover, add 1 tea-
spoon salt, 1 whole onion, 1. carrot
diced and two feces of celery.C ok

until almost tender and let stand in
its own liquor inthe refrigerator ov-
er night. Next morning remove the
chicken from the broth; and roll each
piece in a mixture of .1 cup flour, 1
teapsoon salt, and h teaspoon pepper.
Fry until well browned in butter or
dripping. Arrange the browned chick-
en in a casserole or covered roaster
pour over the broth and bake in a
moderate oven of 375 degrees until
very tender. Remove the chicken to
the serving dish. Thicken the gravy
with flavour, moistened With milk,
and more milk if necessary to in-
crease the amount of the gravy, Ser-
ve the gravy pouredover the chicken,
or separately, as desired.
If there is apt to be chicken left ov-
er, I am always a bit cautious about
using • milk in the gravy, as I once
had chicken spoiled because of the
milk in the gravy turning sour. If I
expect to use chicken the next day, I
stick to water, for the gravy.
Club Salad
1 quart cream, 1 quart salad dress-
ing, 1 box gelatine, 1 cup sugar, x lb.
blanched almonds, 1 teaspoon salt, 1
large can large white cherries, 2 cans
sliced pineapple.
Soak each envelope of gelatine in
a cup of pineapple juice five minutes,
add 1 pint boiling water, add sugar,
and set to cool. , Whip cream and
place on ice. Cut pineapple and al-
monds in small pieces and seed the
cherries. As soon as the gelatine be-
gins to congeal add in' the following
order the cneam, salad dressing, cher-
ries, pineapple, almonds and salt•.
Pour into flat pans and when stiff
out into squares. Serve on lettuce,
passing additional mayonnaise. This
will serve twenty.

For the first nine months of this
year the number of head of live stock
going through our Canadian stock
yards is considerably higher than for
the same period of last year. For in-
stance, cattle number 582,602 as com-
pared with 454,320 a year ago. Hogs
are 1,141,054, against 1,026,910 in '30,
and for the nine months sheep num-
bered 360,432 compared with 306,183
for the nine months in 1930. Calves
numbered 232,843 for 1931, against
241,106 for 1930, which is the only
class showing a decrease,

C. W. Bauer, secretary of the On-

ports having completed negotiations
with the Canadian National Steam-
ships whereby Canadian onions may
now compete more favorably with
Holland for the British West India
trade.
Effective October 26th, the rate on
onions 'from Montreal, Halifax and.
St. John is now 50c per hundred lbs.
to the ports of call in Barbados, Trin-
idad and Demerara, while to the
smaller islands, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anti-
gua, Montserrat, Dominica, St. Luca,
St. Vincent and Grenada, the new
rate is 60 cents per hundred pounds,
as against the former rate of 75 cents
to all ports of the British West In-
dies, It is expected with these reduc-
ed rates, the Ontario onion growers
will meet a brisk demand from these
markets,'

MANY people, two hours after
eating, suffer indigestion—as
they call it. It is usually excess acid.
Correct it with an alkali. The hest
way, the quick, harmless and efficient
'way, is Philips' Milk of Magnesia.
It has remained for 50 years the
standard with physicians. One spoon-
ful in water neutralizes many times
its volume in stomach acids, and at
once. The symptoms disappear in
five minutes.
You will never use crude methods '
when you know this better method.
And you will never suffer frorn excess

relief.

ter the return to power of the Nat-
ional Government and reflects defin-
itely a restored confidence that bet-
ter trade will exist in the United
Kingdom from now on. Mr. Fulton
states that in spite of the heavy trans-
Atlantic shipments of apples and the
decline of prices to lower levels, a
better average has been maintained
than expected. He has sold MCIn-
tosh apples from Western Ontario
for $6,35 a barrel, Greenings $5.90,
Snow $5.86, and King $5.57 on the
Glasgow market. Watercore was
found to the extent of about 40 per
cent in several shipments of Kings.
Mr. Fulton -complains about the dis-
advantage under which Ontario
growers are laboring owing to an un-
duly high freight rate, as compared
with the rate paid by the Nova Sco-
tia shippers. He speaks encouraging-
ly of the increasing popularity of On-
tario apples of high'quality, such as
the Big "0" and Norfolk brands. He
cautions growers not to ship between
Dec. 15th and jan llth as there is
little demand during this period.
Cause of Barn Fires
That spontaneous combustion, and
not incendiarists, was responsible for
the great majority of the barn fires
which occurred in Ontario during tha
last two months, is the opinion given,
based ori somewhat similar occurren-
ces in previous years as well as 011
the reports of Fire Marshall Heaton
and General Victor Williams, com-
missioner of provincial police, who,
since the first cry of "fire -bug" ter-
rified the countryside, have had in-
spectors and retachm:ents of constab-
ulary constantly on patrol and in-
quiry in the affected areas. .\ ma-
jority of the fires have occurred since
the first of October and are techni-

sadly termed "self -heating" fires, be-
ing produced indirectly front "fer-
mentation gas" that develops in cases
where hay and grains are hauled to
barn-Inows without having first been
properly shred in the fields, This gas,
which ` is lighter than air and highly
inflammable, rises from the grain to
the top of the barn, 'especially where
there is lack of adequate ventilation,
and only needs an infinitesimal spark
or flarne to expand and explode it.
Usually most barn fires occur in Ati•l
gust and September, but the mild
weather late this fall resulted in a
continuation of the fire hazard into
October anri November, The insur-
ance companies have been heavy los-
ers, but since most of the concerns
covering rural buildings are mutual,
the losses are spread around. Ontario
has always suffered heavily from
barn fires, Two years ago there were
1,013 outbreaks reported, while in '28
the figure was 848, and last year 894.
The large loss in 1930 was also at-
tributed to spontaneous combustion,
since it was a difficult season': for cur-
ing hay, also to lightning.
Grades for Turnips
Market grades for turnips have
been in force for some years and with
recent amendments specify the re-
quirements for Canada No, 1, srnali,
small ineditun, medium and large. The
small grade includes turnips two to
four inches in diameter that are
shapely and free from damage. The
term ."shapely" is taken to mean rea-
sonable regular in outline and with
a length not more' than one and a
haif times the diameter. Defects that
are ruled against are freezing injur-
ies, water core, soft rot, dry rot,
worms, grubs and growth attacks. If
any of these are present in small per-
centage they must be such as can be
removed in the ordinary process of
paring,
Middlesex Potato Clubs
Two years ago a number of boys'
potato clubs, sponsored by the Lon-
don Chamber of Commerce, were
formed in Middlesex in an effort to
rebuild that county's excellent potato
growing reputation. Recently the
1931 activities of these clubs were
brought to a conclusion by a, potato
fair in the Masonic Temple, London,
at which about 150 youthful potato
growers of the district exhibited their
potatoes. Following the fair there
was a banquet at which R. S. Duncan,
Director of Agricultural Representa-
tives, was the chief speaker. He ex-
plained the; three phases of the jun-
ior ,extension program. The first was
the work for boys and girls from 8
to 14 in rural schools, known as the
rural school fairs. Organized 22
years ago, they now include 4,883
rual schools. junior Fanners and
Junior Institute organizations had
more than 6000 memberships. Boys
and girls' club work, such as the Po-
tato club, were fur the ages 12 to 20.
There were. 200 clubs.
Use Breeding Males
Good breeding practice in poultry
has long recognized the value of the
highly prepotent male bird in build-
ing up flock production. When tite
farmer or poultryman can raise the
average production of the pullet flock
i from 120 eggs to 150 or 160 eggs per
bird it1 a flock of 100 pullets the real
cash value of the high quality male
bird is immediately apparent. In the
whole scheme of the National Poul-
try Policy the registered cockerel
alone has the proven ability best suit-
ed to increasing pullet production.
These cockerels are bred front two
direct lines of females which have
laid 200 eggs or more in one of the
Canadian egg laying contests. In ad-
dition to volume these dams have al-
so proven capacity for egg size as
well. And what is most important,
every registered cockerel has been
bred from a fully matured hen. They
are the cream of production bred
poultry.
