A first essential to suc- cessmul bulb culture is to make sure that the bulbs themselves are of good quality. It is best to buy them early in the season when they are likely, to he more vigorous than those which have been lying about the store for several weeks. Good bulbs should be quite firm and heavy in" comparison • • to their size and of goo& size aepord- leg to their variety. The bulbs should be potted as soon es obtainable from the seed store -or dealer. By removing the pots from the cellar, after the bulbe',hve rooted, , .at intervals of 10 daysor two weeks a succession of bloom over a long period can be obtained. In an article on growing bulbs for -winter bloom, Miss Isabella Preston, Specialist in Ornamental Gardening, Horticultural Division, Central Ex- iperimental Farm, Dominion Depart- xnent of Agriculture, beginsby stat- ing that some bulbs can be grown, in water alone, in prepared. peat and in soil. The .varietjes •that do best in water -are Chineee.Sacred Lily, Paper White NarcisTus ad hyacinths. The first two are grown in bowls and the bulbs' are kept in, place with small stones.

The num-ber of bulbs .used de- pends on the size of the burl.- They should not be allowed to touch each other or the sides of the bowl. Daf- fodils, Tulips and Hyacinths can all be grown in fibre. • Bulbs In Soil The most inexpensive way to grow bulbs is in clay pots In soil. The ordinary garden soil, if not too heavy, can be used. Heavy soil should be mixed • with sand and leaf Soil in or- der to make it porous. The pots should before hould ttom to mixedhe pot. ird full is are lled up th 8011. n and no air d dGwn plant - tips of face of which, ove the must be clean and new ones be soaked in water and dried using.

The bulbs should b ed deep enough so that the the bulbs show', above the. sur the soil except Hyacinths should have about one-third ab soil. After being planted in the pots ut in a they should be watered and p cool cellar. The bulbs which bloom in the shortest time after potting are These nd are French Roman Hyacinths. have small sprays of flowers white in color. If planted in Septem- wtrm rly De - Lit and kept in a ,mod'era,tely place, they will bloom in ea .cember. They must not be put in a Ley are s sraall or very grown cold place for rooting. As ti quite expensive and the flower they are recommended only f early ,bloom. They can be either ;in fibre or soil. Hyacinths • Dutch Hyacinths Come in various eoloreeged the bulbs can be ,planted singly in four -inch pots or three in a six-inch pot. • Only one variety should be grown in a pot ' so that they will bloom at the same time. The pots may be placed outdoors And buried in „cinders for a few Weeks until freezing weather sets in and then they should be placed in a ,cool, not too dry cellar or they may be put at Grace into a dark corner of the cellar it a tempera- ture el ab,out 40 deg. F. If the pots are buried hr-serode or crilidere, they will keep more evenly moist than if 'left uncovered, 'In a month or Six Weeks, examine the Rots and if -the roots' are beginning to show through the bottom of the pot, and the leaves to push, up from the soil, they can be brought up to the light. The change from the cold cellar to the living room should be gradual if possible. It will be found that .Hyacinths do better if grown slowly. If they are brought in- to heat too soon, the flowers may be- gin to open before the stem grows. If this !happens a six-ihch 'collar of brown paper placed around the bulb will. encourage the stem to lengthen. Daffodils • Daffodils are perhaps the. most sat- isfactory bulbs. for the amateur to grow in the house and the following inexpensive varieties are attractive: • Yellow Trumpet—Golden Spur, very early; Emperor; A,King Alfred and Van Waveren's Giant. Bicolor Trumpet—Mmp' lemp; Vic, toria end/Empress. „ Incemparabilis—Sir Watkin; Luci- fer. Barrii—Oonspicuus; Bath's Flame (this is expensive but very fine). • Poetaz (flowers, io•-clusters)—Klon- dyke; Orange CupKand 'Laurens Kos- ter. Tulips - The early flowering varieties of Tulips force more easily than Dar - wins and the following varieties gen- erally do well: 'Early Singles—Red, Crimson Bril- liant, „Vermilion Brilliant; Yellow— Chrysolora, Goldfinch; Pink-seottage Maid, Ibis; Red with yellow margin! —Keizer Kroon; • Orange -- .F r e d itioOre, Prince of Austria. Darwin tulips take much longer to bloom than early flowering varieties and. must be grown in a temperature of around 50 degrees fr, until the flower buds are quite large. Pink—Princess Elizabeth. Red—Roi d'Island, Wm. Pitt. Mauee—Wm. Coupinnd. Freesias Freesias have sweet scented flow- ers and can be grown in the house. The bulbs should be planted early in September and grow best in a tem- perature of about 50 degrees F. The stems. are frequently too weak to hold the flowers and should be tied to thin stakes so as to keep them: straight. It is well to remember that the sail or fibre must never be allowed to dry out but over watering, especially in water tight centainers, must be avoid- ed." Gas from furnace or cook stove may cause the buds to die. Too hot and dry air encourages insects and also causes buds to die. Great chart& es of temperature are harmful, frost will damage leaves and flowers. "Have , you been a dentist 7very long?"

Power House Hit By Lightning The electrical storm which passed over here on Tuesday afternoon around 4 o'clock did considerable dam - •damage to the .power house in ,Lower Win'ghant. The lightning hit tbn very top of the tall chimney and followed the chimney down to the' roof, split- ting it in many places. The 'kicks knocked off the chimn-ey were strewn -oversthe roof and several tracks were 'made in the base of the chimney. The roof on the -plower house iD new, the work of completing it 'being just fin- ished on Monday. Tlais.is a very bad break for the commission to have the new roof wrecked iso salon after its eompletion. Mr_ Elwell Webster was in the sub -station watching the con- trols ,a,nd he felt the shock. He said it felt like a great gust of wind but as the buildings are 100 feet apart he would not receive much of the im- pact. It was fortunate for -him that he was not working in the power house at the time—Wingham Advance' Times. • Killed By Farm Wagon Jean Feagan, aged six, daughter of Reeve -George C.

Harry got back on the wagon but the wagon hit some racks throwing the children out. The 1itle -girl's skull wesecrushed.

The Common Cold My uncle told me that he remem- bered well, when he was at school somewhere in Canada about the year ,1865, seeing all the boys come to -school with their heads tied up in red flannel. Why? They all bad mumps. Atfirst only one boy had mumps. In a few days two or three other boys fell victims. Fleetly, he said, "All the boys had mumps." • "But," he added, "we never thought of staying away from school because we had mumps." Thq Greeks, who have deprived us of so many opportunities of seeing and saying things first, are understood to have divided the human race into three classes as follows: First—Those who know things with- out being told. Second—Those who know things when they are told. Third—Those who do not know things even, when they are told. We appear to have placed ourselves in the third class so far as the so-call- ed common cold goes. We do not know very much about the common cold. But it we put into practice the little we do know, we should go a long way—perhaps even half -way, to the prevention of the common cold. It has often -beera'stated, and- the statement has never been contradict- ed, that half of all our illness at all ages is caused by the common cold. It causes half the loss of working- timejn the community. It causes half the absenee,l'jn schools, thereby in- creasing our taxes • for education. There is no other disease which does as much harm as this. The common cold is one of the most important diseases in Canada, if not the most important It is estimated that on an average, every Canadian has two colds every year. Some of us Ireve, ten or twelve. , 4 TW generations have passed since 1865. Health education in the com- munity has advanced far enough to keep children, out'of school *hen they have mumps. The, time is at hand when children who' ,have colds will not be allowed to attend school Attlee.' They are suffering from a disease more serious than mumps. Public opinion is changing. People are beginning to ask for protection against the ,common cold. On July 17, 1935, Sir Kingsley Wood, Minister of Health, stood up in .his place in the British House of Commons in London' and said that the common cold was Public Enemy No. 1. W•ae. he right? Of course he was. And he was as right for Canada as for any other part of the „British Empire. Our Death Roll in Canada in 1935 -was about 106,000. What were the chief causes of death? Heart Disease is first - 16,000 Cancer is second - 11,000 But. Colds indirectly cause more deaths than either. Disease S of the lungs (Pnfeum,onia, Bronchi- tis) caused Tuberculosis caused . 7,000800 Influenza caused • 3,000 or e total of 18,00-0, and it is well known that no one takes these diseas- es without having a cold ret, usually many colds. If colds were prevented, Many of these lives. would be saved. .440, New Deal Seen for Fishermen Down by .the Atlantic, round the fresh water lakes and ' rivers and along the Pacific shores, there's a feeling of decided. optimism among those in the Canadian Fishing indus- try over the effort of the Department of Fisheries to increase the national consumption of Canadian fish. According to one authority, the things for which the industry and the fishermen have advocated for years are coniing to pass. For instance, $200,00,0 has been appropriated by the Government to increase the demand for Canadian fisheries products. There is a $300,000 loan fund voted for the assistance of needy Maritime 'fisher- men in renewing beats and gear. And there is a move afoot for social im- provement that will bring more bene- fits to the men who go down to the sea. It looks like a new deal all round for the Canadian fisherman and his industry. If the advertising now be- ing launched •by the government is successful in its objectives, those in fishing circles claim that the Ca -Me- dian fishing industry will receive an impetus that will send it forward to a new and prosperous basis. And" in this the first to benefit will be the fisherman himself. According to the "Canadian Fisherman," a journal de- voted to the 'industry, the welfare of Canada's fis•herinan is recognized' by all in the industry ae of primary im- portance. With the lecreened popu- larity of fish and greater Oaneuntption of .it by thedr fellow citizens, the sh- erinem Of Canada are Lokittg forward to ,an era of better' exindftioiid. and mare prosperity thanhave been theirs tor years. .1 •errgatiterte, seevIPS etre AN IN Peerage!.

The first one, wiho took a cold was the storekeeper who opened the ship's bag and shook them •:oirt. On May 30th, eighty-four people had 'golds. On June 6th, one hundred and three people had colds and before June 23rd seventy-five per cent of the population had colds. Be- fore the end of the epidemic four hundred and seventy-five people, or ninety-five per cent. of the populatiou. had colds,. A trapper who lived a long way from Longyear City and who had been quite well all winter came- to town just before the -ship came in on May 23rd. On.May 28th he 'had a bad cold. He went home again as soon as he was better. On August 7th he walked back to Longyear City and on his way he fell through the ice and walk- ed the rest ,of the way in his wet clothes.
