E. NICOL Wingham, - Ont. Hants For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times jesie Alen Brown By '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 T®J'A'VIEA Ti21IIP TC TCWN Your banking transactions may be accomplished easily and quickly by tool.

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 P 0 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.

News and Information For the Bus', Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture) 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, Onion Growers Benefit C. W. Bauer, secretary of the On- tario Growers' Markets Council, re- 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,' British Apple Market "Mone cheerful prospects for On- tario apples, is the way Andrew Ful- ton heads his latest bulletin front London, England. ft was written af- AM ADVA CZ -TIMI $ 417 GeNumt -` PHILLIPS ,v�Di Mao fest tt, 9 For Troubles dee IGS t0 ' App STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES -NAUSEA Too Much ACID MANY people, two hours after eating, suffer indigestion—as they call it.

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- WHEN BABIES F ft E t TwheHenI ares a baby is tae fretful or feverish to be sung to sleep.

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. Weekly Crop Report Reports from most districts show that fall work is about completed, Live stock and sheep are in good eon - clition due to open pasturing weath- er. Eggs are now bringing good prices. In Lincoln they are selling as fellows: Special, 50c; extras, 45e; flesh firsts, 42c; pullet extras, 38e; ting, fresh pullets, 35c, The Oxford representative advises that the organ- ization of the Oxford Fruit Co-oper- ative under the management of Mr. George Laird, operating a central packing plant, has been the salvation of the fruit industry in • that section. There hias been no waste in the or- chards that were taken care of and there is every prospect of reasonably good prices for the fruit. Down in Prescott and Russell the chicken thieves have been active lately, whole flocks of hens and turkeys disappear- ing over night This is very discour- aging at this time when most farmers figure on the poultry sideline for a cash 'return, fLIm�ARp�iMho A Sctochman was engaged in an argument with the conductor of a street car as to whether the fare was five or ten cents.
