I went down to the barn just pow and Partner said -- "Well, 1 guess we haven't got enough cows, so the horses came in to be milked this morning." He meant that when he brougt the cows in from the horses came ahead and walked into the cow stable n- stead of their own. Funny how contrary dumb animals can be when they are so clined. } x J * bd But for contrariness hens and chickens take first place, if 1 know anything about them. And I'm beginning to think 1 know plenty. Of course a lot depends upon the breed of fowl one keeps. We have Ylymouth Rock birds and that means fighting broody hens all summer. We have a special movable pen for cluckers in which they can only eat, drink. walk around, or roost. Every night 1 go into the Javing pens and take any cluckers there may be off the nests. Picking them up the first "might they go broody means that they are back in production in a day or two. But let them them develop a definite broody streak and you have real non-profit boar- ders on your hands. [ think, too, that the maternal instinct must-be catching because there is, hardly ever just one clucker but several The broody pen is never unoccu- pied for more than a day at a {ime all summer. -- Nor are my hands and arms ever quite free of scratches and small bruises as a result. But still, no matter how an- noying broody hens may be they naturally should not be ill-treated And some methods used to break up broodiness.are extremely cruel. Better to sell the hens and be done with them unless one can take time and patience to treat them decently. EE J Now I am wondering what kid of a merry chase my chickens will give me in a few days. We have separated the sexes, putting the cockerels into a new pen, where they must be shut up for a few days until they get used to it. Even so, the first time they are let out the chances are they will all come back to the brooder house--and my work will start -all over again! There are fines when I think eggs care worth a dollar a dozen and, chickens--fifty. cents a pound. * * » Spring crops are looking just fine around here these days and pros- pects for a good harvest appear haying and harvest are not so good. But we will worry about that when the time comes. - \ » + 0% In the meantime we are trying to catch up with the odd jobs and to keep pace with the weeds and the grass. But weeds are winning. 1 often wish we had a nice, friendly grandpappy living with us. One old enough to be past real hard work but ac- tive cnough to like puttering, doing the little odd jobs that we haven't the time for and yet which make so much difference to the ap- pearance of a farm home, I won- der if families where there is such a grandpappy realize how much he does for them? 1f the family is away and late getting home, they know that grandpa will sce to the chickens. And it is generally grandpa who fixes the window-- screens and cleans up the chip yard. When there is an extra rush of work--which seems to be all the time now-=mother often comes in from the barn and finds the kettle boiling for tea, Grand- pa likes to keep busy--and to rest when he feels like it. The other day we saw a grandfather busily working up the flower beds. It was somewhere around 85 in the shade and we thought it was awful he should be working out in the: heat. But then we realised he was probably working because he wanted to; that he was getting a fot of pleasure in doing it and wonld quit when he felt like it. : PEE Yes, we would like a grandpa around here, but I'm afraid that will never be--unless we adopt one-- and so far there doesn't seem to be any Grandfather's" Aid Society. Perhaps someone will say--""You don't know what you are talking about--an old person is an awful charge." Maybe so, but then we should also remember that if we live long enough we shall be old people too and perhaps the love and tolerance we show now may be as bread upon the waters, Here's to the old people anyway-- and remember, this world still needs you and wants you.

Mont- gomery to his men was given the Lions Club of Ottawa regently by Brig: J.-L. Melville, former chief engineer of the Canadian Army overseas, It was back in 1942-43, when the Canadian Army in Britain was un- dergoing intensive training. 'Monty' came to address a group of Can- adians who had just finished a Jong manoeuvre in English weather at its chilly worst, and the hall was packed with cougliing, sneezing men. Promptly at the time scheduled, Gen. Montgomery appeared on the platform. He took one look at the crowd and said: "Gentlemen, I am going to speak for two hours and 40 minutes. At the end of every 20 minutes I will stop for two min- utes, during which you may cough!" The program was carried out Brig. Melville re- ported that in between the pauses there wasn't so much as a sniffle!

And the runway was compacted for fighter planes by "having 2,000 natives move into a close huddle and stamp up and down to the rhythm of tom-toms beaten by oth- er natives."

Colossians 3: 20. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. -- The first capture, of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, which resulted in Daniel and others being taken to Babylon, occurred in 607 B.C. Therefore, the events of our lesson may be said to fall somewhere between 607 and 604, or perhaps 605 B.C, * Place. -- Babylon, The great ca- pital of the Babylonian Empire, on the Euptrates River. Daniel's Decision "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he >would not defile him- self with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself", Daniel shows his character, even at an early age. The Jewish law forbade him to eat the blood of fowl or beast or any heathen sac- rifice. These things were included in the provision for the king's ta- ble. Daniel was resolved not to defile himself, whatever the con-. sequences. "Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the | sight of the prince of the eunuchs." We should note it was not Daniel's beauty or goodness which brought him into favor, but God who moved in the heart of the prince of the cunuchs, The Prince's Fears "Ang the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, T fear the lord the king, who hath appointed your food aid your drink: for why should he sce your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye en- danger my head with the king." The prince was sure that if Daniel and his companions carried out their resolve, they "would look so weak and pale that the king would charge him with neglect of duty and endanger his head, "Then said Daniel to the stew- ard... and as thou secst, deal with thy servants", Daniel knew that his "simple "diet with, the blessing of God would do more for his bodily appearance than the king's .dainties, The man or woman who lives simply and abstains from al- cohol will 'certainly be healthier ir body and brighter in ¢ountenance then those who have allowed the appetites to master them and are slaves to self-indulgence. Result of Daniel's Plan "So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days. And: at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, ~ than all the youths that did eat of the king's dainties. .So the stew- ard took away their dainties," and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse." Daniel was determined to please God and to live so that his life might be one of strength and puri- ty, and that his physical appetites should remain undet definite con- trol. In other words he determined, of his own will, to descipline him- self and to do those things that the ordered, even in a strange land, Daniel's Wisdom* Recognized "And "the king communed with them... he found them ten times drank: "enchanters oo H .

Such was the wisdom and under- standing of Daniel and his com- panions that in comparison the wise men of Babylon knew very little.

Money In Banks And Life Insurance « Many . Canadians have saved money and put some away in the savings banks or invested it in life insurance, writes W. L. Clark, in Windsor Star. It is their way of putting by for a rainy day or creating an estate. Much of this money has been set aside by de- priving themselves of pleasures and even going without what oth- ers deem necessities. ® We would like to know how many of these people want nation- alization of the banks and life in- surance companies. We don't think many of them want to see their hard-earned savings made the pol- itical pot for any party sccking to dole out funds to job-seekers and ward bosses.
