The art- ist could not rest while that wonder- fut instrument. was a mere curio. One day after repeated requests, the own- er, in a fit of desperation granted the violinist the opportunity to play upon it. He said Ire played as though to. ransom a slave. When, at lash, in trembling Loveliness the tones died a- way, the owner said, in great emo- tion, "It belongs to you, sir. I have no right to keep it here. Take it. Play on it.

Past experiences (have prnoven: that severe damage to strung genmditation in seedpieces and vigor- ous growth of plants bee resulted town poor storage gconditLons of seed storing the winter and early spring months. High temperatures resulting in severe heading and sprouting oar too low gtemperatunee causing frost dam- age are not satirsfaotory, says' 3. T. Casein, potato expert of the Ontario -Department of Aentoultuoe. On roost farms in Ontario potatoes• are stored in house cellars or do basements undier barns. Cellars without furnaces usually provide sat- isfactory.storage conditions. Cellars With funnaces usually have tempera- tures boo high for stoning seed pota- toes and severe sprouting develops which causes weak plants. In many cases such sets do net grow and miss- es in the field and lower yields re- sult. In basements under barns where live stock acre stabled close 4o potato bios much sprouting often de- velops before plantag tamve. Special storage houses under barns where the potato binds are separated from live stock by air -tight partittigons give good results if ventilation is pro- vded. Storage cellars under implement houses, it well insulated, are satis- factory. Pit storage gives good re- sults when 'properly eevened•and vent- ilated. Too much covering without ventilation may cause sprouting out there must be sufficient to protect from frost. Pit storage is the least expensive.. The temperature for seed potatoes should be not lower than. 32 degrees nor higher tifen 40 degrees. A pit to 'store 50 bags of potatoes should be three to four deep deep and iabout the same width and about ten feet long. The potatoes .should not be above the level of the ground. A pole about 12 feet long, about two feet above the potatoes resting an blocks one at each end of the pit, is neces- sary. Cedar rains' or boards could be used for siding. This will give suf- ficient slope to carry off water — the loeation should be on a high well- dtra::ned place. The covering should be of straw 10 to 12 inches deep, then earth six or eight inches and before the ground is frozen another layer of straw and a second layer of earth. If exposed to severe frosts a light covering of manure could be applied after freez- ing up. Large quantities could be taken care of by larger pats. Some very satisfactory' caves are in use in the Province holding 1,000 to 5,000 bags. Fur a dugout on the side of a hill using cedar logs for siding and roof heavy posts for sup- port to the roof are necessary. Cover with three feet of earth. Openings * * * Walk Tall Walk Tall!—I hear your challenge clear as, keen each morn, I rise, my daily duties, to meanie. Walk Tall!—The urge is with me still, but stronger nuw at noon: my powers are full awake. I'm keeping pace with you! Walk Tall!—Toil-worn at even -tide but glad for all the day has brought. I straighten up again in body and in mind: The exercise is goad, I find, while Wlalking Tall wfbh. you! * * * Nothing is more terrible than ac - 'dotty without Wight, said Carlyle, the real tragedy of life is not hard- ship, labor, suffering; but a meaning- less and empty effort—without objec- tive. Only the man whose activity is directed and controlled by a great purpose cant be fundamentally happy. * * * Doctor Harry E. Fosdick points out that there are two ways to stop a clock. One is to smash itt. The other is bo let it run drown—forget to wind the spent springs. That stops the home, boo. That stops more 'homes than infidelity does. We need to. take time to wind the spent springs (he adds). I guess he is one man who knows whereof he speaks. ' * * * William A. Engle Says: Negative tthougghts waste human energy. Health abounds where happiness ex- ists. To see the fun of living, develop a sense of humor. or. He who radiates friendly service, dives in the warmth of love. Faitlh is a mental attitude that con- taots with and! leads to swocess. Each has, the prowler within to be what he wants do be, and get what he desires. Live Stock Show The management of the Ontario Provincial Winter Fair, which for years has been 'held in Crlielph, and which was cancelled this year because the buildings were needed by the militia, have announced that in co- aperattion with the Union Stock yards they will hold a show and sale of oommemeiatl live stock at the Union Stock Yards Nov. 30th, Dec. 1st and 2nd. Fair officio s point out that many cattle, sheep ..,, swine have been feel; and fitted d ng the past season ex- pressly fo showing mad Sale at the Royal Wig.i ser Fair and Guelph and Ottawa Winter Falls. The purpose of this show is to serve these exhibi- tors. ran ea.ttie, a claseification is being set up on a weight basis as follows: Steer or heifer, 800 pounds or under; steer or heifer, &01 pounds to 900; steer 901 to 1000 pounds; steer, 1)01 to 11(10 pounds and sir 1101 p s or over. The above classification is being used for each of the three beef breeds, Shorthorn, Herefords and Ab- erdeen Angus, so that a breed cham- pion may be declared and theme breed champions donne together for a grand cthlam+pionshtlep winner. Classesfor a group of six steers Wider 1000 pounds and over 1000. pounds each are also provided. In Madii lambs, a class is rovid• ed for a lea of five 'aebberl iambi averaging not over 95 pounds each, while in bacon hogs there is a class for pea of five barrows or sows, bac- on type; 141) to 220 pounds. The prize list totals approximately $2,500. All animals exhibited in these class- es will be sol"d at public auction. Live stock' will arrive Thursday, Nov. 30. The show. will be theld: Dec. 1st with sales of market lambs and hogs that day with the cattle sale being held Dec. 2rndi These dates have been se- lectedi as the most appropriate dates for 'aeoommodetion of butchers, pack- ers and others interested in the pur- chase of live gsbook. Anyone interested tax the show should address all 'enqutades to L. E. O'Neill, Live Stock Branch, Parlia- ment Buildings, Toronto. Ira the top admit the potatoes but padded chutes should be provided for conveying the potatoes into the cave to prevent .barudlsnng which can serve also as ventilators. For making ship- mein.ts a door at the lower end will be on the level which is very con- vendeut. Growers whose potatoes have de- veloped late blight, fusarium wilt, fusarium svma'ntii, bacterial ring rot or vinous diseases should obtain dis- ease free seed (certified ,seed) for planting next spring. .. "It Is little (short of tragedy that certain gra ens scold their certified' seed last year for table use . when other growers were saving for seed purposes material that was badly dis- eased," stated Mr. Cassia. "Large dIstldibutuas of table potatoes are anx- ious to and do buy stock for table use tram certified growers and will pay a }pres:alum for it . 'Many farmers wait until spring, at which time cer- tified seed has become sciarce and us- ually much higher in pollee and often have 413 plaint inferior eaiior seed." "It is fairly evident .that if all grow - ens replaced etlhietir stock with certified seed every three years the potato dis- ease menace in Ontario would be con- seciterably reduced_" V`Tars and. Epidemics It is said that the Persians' under Xerxes were defeated in their inva- sion lot Greece by plague and dysen- teary. In alt of the wars from that time to the Gmeat War of 1914-18 disease was as deadly a foe as the munitions of the enemy. In a recent American book on 'Dis- ease in Military Campaigns," Lieut.- Col. ieut:Cot. Nelson Mercer says that the United States lasses in the last war were 58,119 (roan disease and 50,385 were, killed or died of wounds. A large peroenfage was fnom the influ- enza epidemic of 1918- By that time typhoid had been brought under eon- -Laval and there were omiy 2,200 eases among mime than 4,000,000 soldiers and there were only 200 deaths. During the Spanish American War. typhoid caused 20,904 cases mid' 2,1$8 deaths. That war in which 379 men died. in battle, was responsible for 4,795 deaths from disease, most of the troops never reaching Cuba. Similar stories of epidemics have come down from previous wars. In 1741, because of a typhus epidemic among the Austrian 'defenders of Prague, the French were able to cap- ture that city. Later Napoleon had to retreat from Moscow because of Lifts Grease OFF POTS AND -PANS NO need to scrape and scrub in slimy water.
