The story- of Fritz Kreisler and his
insistent pursuit of the violin which
had become the mute possession of
a great collector of violins, has a
significance for mit of us. 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. Go to bhge world with it
and let it be. heard!"

Storage of
Potato Seed
Proper sboalage for seed potatoes
bas substanitial results on the yield
of the camp. 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

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. '

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

pressly fo showing mad Sale at the

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-

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_"

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
