From Ottawa to Toronto is only 223 miles "as
the crow flies."
But the crow, according to experts in
. Natural History, flies only thirty miles an
hour. Even the, swift arrier pigeon makes
only forty miles an hour.
The telephone covers the distance -- well,
you might say, instantaneously. The sound of

And it's the Same between any two cities
of the continent. Whether your message is to
Halifax, to Vancouver, New York or San

Don't Pleat Too Soon
This warning against working soil
too soon also applies to platting.
Many mare flowers and vegetables are
lost through planting too soon ithan
too late, and in war time especially
we dannot afford such waste. There
are, it is true, a few things that are
not hurt by sowing early, plants that
naturally reproduce themselves in
Canada. In this category will be on
idhs, garden peas, parsnips, lettuce,
radish, etc,., among the vegetables,.
and in the flowers—cosmos, batch;
elor's buttons, sweet peas, alyssum.
All of these and some more will stand
moderate frost and throughout most
of Canada can be sown just as soon.
as the soil can be worked. But there
--are a .great many more flowers and
vegetables that will not survive frost.
Thee must not be sown outside un-
til the weather really turns warm.
Actually they will not make a,ny
growth until the soil is warm, usual-
ly in mid-May or later. There is
nothing to be gained by rushing them
in too soon.
•
'Spread Out Sowings
Experienced gardeners nowadayS,
spread $.heir sowing over two or three
weeks. The old habit of putting in
the whole tg.arden on, the Queen's
Birthday was not a good one. Many
things planted too soon and the en-
tire garden going in at once resulted
itt the feast of fresh garden peas,
corn, carrots, beans, etc., lasting only
a few weeks also. A properly plant-
ed garden, with sowing spread, from
early Spring to early Summer, should
provide a steady supply of the fresh-
' est garden vegetables from the first
Week irf'July until weeks after killing
• frost. 'This, of course, is a general
statement and does not apply to
those extra' balmy areas of Southern
British Columbia and Ontario where
the first vegetables are ready in June.
To Prevent Jungles
• One can do wonders withflowers
alone, but Still more amazing results
• will follow where we combine flowers
skilfully with grass, winding walks,
shrubbery and bits of stone -work. In
this combining, however, we must
take care to not reproduce a jungle.
A little preliminaryplantingand a
rough sketch drawn approximately to
scale will help „wonderfully. Flowers
and shrubbery must not be so croivd-
ed that they become . spindly and
weak. There should be a generous
foreground of good lawn:
Little flowers must not be hidden
by tall things like full size marigolds,
cosmosorzinnias. ,Beds must be so
arranged that we can, keep down
weeds and remove fading foliage.
• In this age of inventipn and mass
production there is little need for
back -breaking drudgery, •and certain-
ly' not in, ,gardening. A few simple.
and inexpensive tools will do most of
the work. Timing is also important,
according to the old gardener, who
maintains that it is ten times easier
to kill weeds just as soon as they
start to sprout instead of waiting un-
til .they are well established. Other
chores of gardening, like thinning and
cultivation, are in exactly the same
category. Dote at the proper time
and with good sharp tools, it is no
job at all, but left a week or two
then there is a real 'burden in catch-
ing up.
Tools Are Important
It is important to have the right
tools. In the firSt place., as any
craftsman will confirm, they should
be in flrst-class working -order. Tbis
means. that hoes, spades, weeders,
spudders, etc., should be sharp and
clean. An "old file will do the trick.
Lawn mowers must be kept in. the
same condition if they are. to leave
neat work and not grass pulled right
out by the roots or left uncut.
Then there should be some selec-
tion. A little hand -drawn. cultivator
will help speed the work in a fair-
sized' garden, while a wheel hoe will
soon pay for itself in labor saved if
one goes in. for a large supply of
'vegetables. For getting under both
flowers and vegetables and for killing
the weeds under shrubbery, a sharp
Dutch hoe is one of the most useful
implements. There are different siz-
ed rakes, and different width of hoes.
There is an edger for tritimiing lawns
along driveways and flower'beds and
Walks. There are 'spades of various
widths and handle lengths. For line
work, in closely planted flower beds,
and for transplanting, etc., a mall
trowel and a three or five -toothed
hand cultivator are useful chore sav-
ers.
For Pruning
For pruning, there tare various
types of godd clippers, which are
much handier than a jackknife and
do a cleaner ;Job than breaking off- s,
:branch. There is also a special' type
of pruning saw with a removable
blade. This Is eas,lz bet to tutu. at

Oatmeal
'Hello, Homemakers! If you thrill
to the „Marrow, at the skirl of the
pipes, you'll be sure to feel that one
Of the best reasons for ;oatmeal on
the menu, is that most stalwart
Scotehmen were raised on this nutri-
tious cereal.
A good hearty breakfast will satis-
fy and build up energy for the whole
day. A well made hot cereal seems
to "stick to the ribs" and a toasted
cereal bread make the thought of a
hard job easier. Oatmeal may be us-
ed for either.
Yes, oatmeal is an old-fashioned
cereal, but it's not always in a .por-
ridge bowl, nowadays. If you are up-
to-date on nutrition you know how
important it is to have a supply of
this whole grain, cereal, always on
hand. Use oatmeal and rolled oats
ir, pancakes, cookies, bread, biscuits,
Scotch meat cakes, puddings, etc. and
don't forget to bring porridge up to
date by hobnobbing it with Austra-
lian raisins or maple syrup.
All cereals are rinch in carbohy-
drates, which supply heat and energy.
But since there is no tissue building
value, we suggest adding milk — or
cooking in milk.
* * *
Rules For Tasty and Digestible
• Cereals
1. Allow enough water to swell
and soften all the starch.
2. Cook cereal long enough to
swell starch and soften the fibre
present, so that starch may be ex-
posed to the action of heat and wa-
• ter.
3.• Coarsely ground or unground
grains require more time to cook than
finely ground ones.
4. Cereals may be boiled directly
over the heat; steamed, as in a dou-
ble boiler or cooked in a well -cooker.
The first method is quickest, but re-
quires attention, to. prevent sticking,
even when stirred frequently. An ee-
casional stir and a tight -fitting cover
is• required.
5. For each cup of oatmeal use 4
to 5 cups of water. This ntakes four
ciips of porridge. If you prefer gruel
add Mere water . for swish, less
water is used.
6. Taste differs in the amount f
salt needed, but a safe rule is o'He
teaspoon for each quart of water tis
ed.

sent to you (by letter.
Mrs. C. R. asks: "What tempera-
ture is used fur baking custards"
Answer: (a) Custards are baked
in a greased casserole at 250 deg. an
til a knife blade run into the centre
comes out clean. (b) Custards are
often baked in greased casseroles
that are placed in a pan of, hot wa-
ter and cooked in about 40. mins. at
a temperature of 300 deg.
Mrs. C.A.B. asks: "Thank you for
the chocolate recipe but why would
the cake boll over?"
Answer: (a) Do not beat the cake
batter after beating in the eggs. Fold
in the flour alternately with the milk.
Mixers should be turned to "slow" or
No. 1 speed after the additiou at
c•ggs. (b) Place the cake batter itt
an x 811 pan and into a pre -heat-
