the rhmeland section of germany dur ing the middle ages and settled in poland russia and other slavic countries these emigrants from germany retained their low ger man language but wrote it in he brew characters they were iso lated so many centuries from those who spoke german that their lan guage absorbed much of the local dialects and gradually became ir regular m grammar spelling and pronunciation finally evolving into a distinct folktongue ft acquired many hebrew polish and russian words as well as a sprinkling of words of latin origin- thus yid dish is essentially a low german dialect which has developed under slavic influences and which has been carried to all parts of the world by jews from eastern europe states a writer in the indianapolis news it is so widely spoken by jews that unserves as a sort of international language for them the hebrew characters employed in waiting and printing give written yiddish more the appearance of hebrew than german roughly speaking

the times one may date many of the screens by the type of needlework employed the artistic and literary fashions may be noted of the elizabethan pe riod and many patterns show their love of flowers and gardens in the 1600s italian motifs began to appear in needlework the curious stump work of charles iis reign is an expression of the riotous ex travagance of that age oriental silks and

curing hay on stakes a simple device for aiding in curing hay is being used with a great deal of success in northern ontario states el t goring assistant dominion ex perimental station kapuskaslng on tario it consists of a nine foot pole or stake with a crossbar three feet long the stake should be about three inches thick at the butt and is sharpened at both ends about three feet tram its thicker end a two inch hole is drilled through at right angles to hold- the crosspiece which should be of a slse to slide half its length through the hole and fit snugly there when in use the stake is planted firmly upright butt end down in the ground to a depth of eighteen inches if the ground is hard a three inch auger or a crowbar can be used to nuke a hole with a minimum of time and effort the crosspiece is put in place in the bole and tha device is ready 7 the colls are built on these stakes instead of on the ground the way to do this is to wrap small forkful of hay around the stake just above the crosspiece this forms a base for the coil then the remainder is taken in as large forkfuls as possible is impaled upon the stake and packed down firmly keeping the centre high the stake is loaded when after allow ance is made for settling a good cap of hay covers the upper up the sides are raked down a little and the hay needs no further handling until it is drawn in the colls never need be turned out to dry and the hay cures with a minimum loss of quality in wet weather as it does not mould the hay is held high enough off the ground to allow growth to take place beneath the colls and there need be no fear of bare spots later on to put up a good crop of hay ap proximately forty stakes are required per acre ation to ttomnbbk on canadian immigration 1s on the up swing after

attention in southern alberta during recent years states h l seamans of the dominion entomological laboratory lethbrldge alberta sensational articles with somewhat overexaggerated statements have appeared in magazines and week ly journals these at times have caus ed a wave of fear to sweep over the country that almost approached a panic the dominion entomological laboratory at lethbrldge has received many specimens of the black widow spider from people who were so thor oughly frightened that they would go tounnecessary extremes to avoid or control these insects contrary to the ageold superstition and rear that spiders attack people spiders actually avoid human beings as much as possible and in most cases will not even bite when irritated the black widow is an exception not only because it can penetrate the more tender skin but because its venom was very poisonous the venom is exceed ingly powerful and rapid in its action but only rarely is the bite fatal to hu man beings in good health the black widow spider is not vic ious nor aggressive and does not vol untarily attack people it will however bite quite readily any person touching its web when eggsacs are present and it is defending them usually it bites only when irritated there is no foundation for the popular belief that the spider will spring from its web and attack a passerby occasionally a spider hanging from the web win drop on the hand or neck and inflict a bite when being brushed off the bite iu self is not always felt and in many cases is no worse than a slight pin the person who is bitten should be put to bed immediately kept as qulei as possible and given plenty of water to drink the spot where the bite oc curred should b painted with iodine or other antiseptic not to counteract the venom but to prevent secondary infection such as blood poisoning then send for a doctor the black widow is most commonly found in darkened and protected places gopher burrows cracks in the soil thick shrubbery
