plan i knew a pair that would visit almost dolly a certain garden in which there was a fine peacock each morning food was placed in a certain spot for the large bird and the magpies found that by a little strategy they were able to obtain their portion their method was for one to play under the long tail of the peacock pecking at the feathers then when the bird turned jto drive the impudent creature away the other would snatch up the largest beak- ful of food he could manage and both magpies would fly off to enjoy thei stolen meal s in the same garden was a large fat and lazy tabby cat o seveial ucua slons one of the magpies was seen tweaking her tail- while- she was lying fulllength oh the lawn i have often seen signs of humor in birds and i am certain that the magpies teased the cat simply for the fun of the thing a tame jackdaw i once possessed would chase one of my little boys as he ran around the tennis lawn the- bird would run after him with raised wings then when both were tired the bird wouldcome to us and with many loud cries seemed to be joining in the laughter just outside the garden was a paddock and in this a number of rabbits the cat would often wait under the

in pouncing on a half grown rabbit and a moment afterwards lost it in a re markable manner the cat crept slowly towards her prey and in doing this showed all the cun ning of her distant cousin the wild cat for with flattened body and lowered ears there was- little of her visible as she went forward all unknown to her- and the interested observer was another creature watching from a clump of grass and he saw that if he had patience he might obtain a free meal for he allowed the cat to stalk right up to the playing rabbits without showing himself suddenly the cat sprang her aim was good and she landed on one of the small rabbits but before she could fix it with her sharp teeth there was a flash of reddishbrown fur and a nearly fullgrown foxcub pounced upon her the cat dropped her

there has been in my opinion a gross miscarriage- of justice and had i the power whicn i have not to direct a new trial i would do so declares mr justice fisher commenting upon the verdict of the jury in the action of charles and ger trude hazelhurst trafalgar township against bert ifeatherston trafalgar township in the case before mr jus tice- fisher at milton mr and mrs hazelhurst claimed damages from featherston for injuries suffered by mrar hazelhurst when she was struck down by featherstons motor car on main street milton on june 16 1931 evidence given at the trial says mr justice fish er in a judgment delivered at osgoode hall was to the effect that featherstons car had defective brakes indeed says the judge the defendant was alleged to have said that the way he stopped the vehicle was by shutting off the flow of gasoline tojthe engine mrs hazelhurst according- to the medical testlrriony had six ribs and one of her legs broken in the accident she was confined to her bed from june to november and would jnot completely recover from her injuries in less than 15 months the jury aij this is the time of the year when it becomes important to the farmer to know fairly accurately the quantities of grain he has available for seed or other use a rule of thumb for determining the quantity of grain in a bin which proves very reliable is supplied by the division of field husbandry of the dominion experimenalfarms to es timate the amount of grain in a bin multiply the length by the width by the height of grain in the bin to deter- imine the capacity in cubic feet and then divide this sum by li which will give the contents in bushels care must be taken to see that the grain is levelled off to ensure accurate measurement and her- husband 391 mr justice fisher confirms the verdict of the jury but he says that verdict insofar as it dealt with the female plaintiff was manifestly unfair and inadequate even if- she was guilty in the opinion of the jury of contributory
