Ben Seetla nd. Everyone 18 talking about the weather but then it is a national preoccupation at the best of times, good for some, bad for others. For a month now the willow trees bave been showing colour even miles out in the country and now other trees seem to have a tinge of light too. In cities spring appears faster due to the heat con- tained within the area fromn buildings, roads and ,sidewalks; the country is the place for growth to begin later in the season. In the country homes generally stand alone witb- out protection from tbe forth and west wind unless of course tbey are surrounded by beavy tree growtb. In some parts of the world farm bouses are bulit over the stable wbere-the livestock are housed. A great deal of beat is generated from the fertiizer as the steam rises from the floor of the barn. If you en- joy the smell of a barn as I sometimes do, it would belp but I would prefer to use some other form of beating. In some of the eastern states the barns are at- tached to one end of tbe bouse; the ones I have seen are generaily painted white and the wbole building well maintained. How nice for the farmer to be able wowi FL ou g ê WE AT DURHAM CARPETS HAVE SAT DOWN To TH IN K 0F A WAY TO SHOW OUR. APPRECIATION TO THE PUBLIC CUSTOMERS.

The crows have been back for a wblle, nolsy as, ever but always a barbinger of sprlng. More desir- able than those awful grackles and starllngs who used to make-their bornes ln the city and only go to the grain fields during the day to feed. Now they show up early in the morning and fiy back to the cities at dusk. I bave been told that hanglng a dead one fromn a tree wiil keep the others away. The treat- ment to mee would be worse than the disease. The Canada Geese are numerous and very active; tbey fiy over the bouse honking as tbey go. At other times bundreds of, themn are out on the lake along with the ducks. Some years ago I had a P.A. system wbicb sent music outside from the radio or record-player to keep me company while I gardened. At that Urne there were loons on the lake and whenthe bird record was on witb the cail of the loon they were very interested. They would stop dlving for fish and swimming while they turned their heads to the sound. Thien ithey would cail back much puzzled because they were unable to see any of their feilow creatures.. Fifteen or 50 years ago the loon eggs were not batcbing due to the chemnicals used in the south; tb0 sheils were paper thin. Now due to care taken with fertilizers we are seeing the boons again but not in great numbers. In time they no doubt will multiply. What I miss most of ail are the bullfroge' in the marsh and other -noisy living things. A few are there but flot many. The marsbes are checked these days by coilege students and I have neyer heard our marsb bas been poiluted. The poilywogs stili remain in great numbers mucb to the childrens' deligbt and mine. I stil like collecting them in a container and watcbing them grow. I can well understand anyone who thinks they have seen a seamonster in the lake. After the ugly carp breed in the marsbes they return to the lake to journey westward, hundreds of them foilowing along in a line. Wbat a sight they make under the water as they pusb ahead, they seem to be one not many. When they gather in the marsb almost bumper tO bumper they create a lot of noise as they leap about and tbrash througb the water. Under a canoe tbey seem tÏo be a hazard as they bump and bang and I always wonder if one might juxnp into the boat but they neyer have, flot yet anyway.' From one water creature to another, this time baby seals. They are beautiful, cuddly looking and babies. The latter is the bang up. Why tbey kilI them as they do I don't know. There bas to be a bet- ter way and a more merciful way. This seal kiiling bas been going on since man began but now we ail see it as we sit in front of a T.V. Ignorance is bliss for many. What you don't see or know about is'ac- ceptable, but tbe more knowledge you bave the more you think.1 Sealing has been a way of life for'thousands Of men around the globe and are we about to take their livelihood away from them? The method of kiiling seems very wrong to me and I, know a bettér one could bo found. How do you feel about the beef, lamb and pork you eat? What are the kiiling methods used for these animais? If it could ail be seen on T.V. the con- sumption might drop drasticaily and this could create a crisis in the market place. I have neyer given mucb thougbt to veal and it is. not a great favourite of mine. Lately I have been reading about and seeing reports on T.V. wbich almost made me ill. Raising veal to me is far wor- se than killing seal pups. At least the latter die d
