To Miss Flapper
Blessing on thee, little dame—
Bare back girl with knees the same.
With thy rolled down silken hose,
And thy short,transparent clothes;
With thy red lips, reddened more,
Smeared with lipstick from the store
With thy make tip on thy `face,
And thy bobbed hair's jaunty grace,
From my heart 1 give thee joy—
Glad that I was born, a boy.

Would you marry a flapper? Would
you marry an invalid, a nerve -racked
harradan, an evil -tempered and cranky
old woman? According to doctors ahcl
phychologists, these questions are
identical, writes G. C., in the Toronto
Star Weekly. The -pace at which the.
modern young -girl is"living, her ex-
citement, . her expenditure of nervous
energy, her lack of .accomplishment
other than looking pretty, talking
pretty, dancing pretty, are all calcu-
lated by scientific rules to -render het
at a pitifully early age, a:nervously'
exhausted invalid, unfit to be a wife
or a mother; in shoa=t, a crabbed old
woman'in her thirties.

The 'following is clipped from the
South Line corre$pandence' in the
Kincardine Review. a It shows'' plainly
that all farmers Are not crazy about
Biggs. Good Roads Schemes.
Messrs, Walter Blackwell • and,john
Kneely"'of Walkerton, on Tuesday of
last iveek, mounted the County of
Bruce construction track, stepped. on
the gasoline' and lumbered oyer. to
Ripley on business in connection with
the Provincial Good Roads System.
After sampling the many beverages
afforded by.Hurons. and emptying D.
T3. McLeod's gaso1ilie,„tank, they pull-
ed ,over'to the gravel pit and made
connections 'with the crushed stone
and gravel elevator that has adorned
the western limits of the village for,.
so many years. The elevator being
mounted on wheels that had not smelt
grease since Moses was hid in the
bulrushes and the elevator cups being
formed out of sheet steel and riveted
to an endless chain that ran along an
angle steel track, one can,easily imag-
ine . the noise and din created when
being propelled along, a gravelly road
at the .rate of �5. or 20 miles 'an hour;
Little wonder that Hugh Nicholson,
: ,hen he heard the racket escaped le
the tall timber and dict not venture
out till the sound had died away •in
the distance and the odor of"exhaust-
ed gas had floated away on the even-
ing breeze. All this 'reminds us that
this good roads business .is ,a. white
elephant on the shoulders of the tax
payers, and was no more needed, es-
pecially between the County Town
and Kincardine than another tail on
Tom Brown's windmill. Nevertheless
when the road is finished the farmers
will eachhave an auto and spend their
time burning gas and busting the
speed limit. ' Then it is said that the
wild carrot, ox -eye daisy, sow thistle,
and, dinel weed will flourish like a
green bay tree and the population
may live on wild rice and chipmunk
steak imported from China.
BELGRAVE
Although the weather- was cold and
damp there was a fairly large crowd
at Belgrave School Fair on Tuesday.
The exhibits were good. A list of
the prize winners will appear in the
next issue of The Advance.
A SONG AT SUNSET
A. lone thrush sings as the night be-
gins, ...
A rich wild song as the darkness falls;
And a mystic :peace creeps over the
world,
Over the 'starry -walls.
So may T sing at the edge of death,
When the dark descends and the hours
depart;
So may the mystic peace ,creep down,
Over 'my weary heart.

Compost Reap of Garden Rubbish.

Attempts have been made to' con-
trol or direct acid bacteria: Bacillus
lactis acidi has long been known to
be beneficial in silage making, and
its product, lactic acid, is found to
the extent of one per cent. in. well
made silage. Experience has demote:.
strated that the addition of baeill.us
lactis acidi in quantity to the fodder
as the silos were being filled gave
good results, particularly so when
the fodder material was past the best
stage for making high-grade silage.
The addition of the bacillus lactis
acidi in quantity to the more or less
spoiled fodder provided. an active
agent to eheek and override the
other ',bacteria present and thereby
control the fermentative process, and
bring the silage mass to a fairly
uniform condition with lactic acid
predominant in the.silage.
Add. Arafetie Acid Culture.
This addition of lactic acid culture
to the fodder at the tittle of silo fill-
ing is easily accomplished by secur-

,Sealing the Silo.
Several methods of sealing the silo
after it has ;beenehlled have justified
their use. What is wanted is a heavy
blanket of material on, top as near air
tightas possible. A Minnesota writer
says:
Some times weeds or heavy green
grass are run through the cutter as. a '
finishing layer. Some prefer to jerk
the ears from the last two or three
loads ,of corn used so no grain is
lost, and allow the corn itself to make
the air -tight layer needed. to preserve
the silage below. At -any rate,it is. -
a good practice to tramp the silage'
around the edges at intervals of three
or four days for about two weeks:'
This helps- to prevent the settling
away from the wall, which often
occurs. - :
Spoiling at the surface may be pre-
vented entireler'. by cowering the top ti
of the silage when filling is complet-
ed with 'a layer of tar paper ct.t to
fit snugly around the walls and
overlapping between the strips. If
this is used, itis advisable to weight
it with some green material of some
kind or with boards. Most farmers,
however, think the use of corn itself
with the ears removed and with pro-
per tramping is more econornic91 than
the use of paper.
In filling the silo the usual re-
commendation. is t� keep the surface
higher at the sidesthan in the center
and to do most'of the tramping near
the wall. The last two .feet had best
, be kept about level with the same
amount • of tramping in; all parts 'of
the silo.
:MAKE A COMPOST REAP.
Save the Garden Rubbish and Make
Cheap and Valuable Manure.
Garden waste, decayedi vegetables,
dead vines, weeds, and the organic
rubbish that collects.dbffut the place
during a busy summer may be clean-
ed up and put to work again through
the agency of a compost heap. Start
the Leap by laying down a bed of
stable manure whicl} has not been
burned or heated. The size of the
plot will vary with the amount of
refuse to be used; tor ordinary uses,
if the bed is made. $ feet long by 6
feet wide and 2 feet deep it will serve
the purpose. Over, the .manure spread
a two -foot -layer of refuse and cover
with another layer of manure.' This
last layer need be only a foot lit
thickness. Repeat the layers until all
the waste has been disposed of and
then cover the w]iole with a layer of
earth. •
'If it is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer 'may
be opened and the new material emp-
tied into 'the hole thus made. This
Is convenient for the suburban home
where there is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste. T.ir the spring the
heap is. well mixed with a fork and
the compost Is ready to be spread
on the garden plot. The beatingma-
nure will effectively destroy any weed`
Deed present and will also break down
the structure of most of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile,
The process may be continued inde-
finitely by sieepllt adding enough
