The quality of Canada Corn Starch is the reason for its popularity with housewives from Coast ta Coast. When your recipe calis for Corni Starch he sure to use Canada Corn Starch, its dependable quai. ity ensures excellent resuits. A4so Manufacturers of Crown Brnd Con Syru.p 's C=i thrive in it. The ideal garden. of course, is open to the sun and the sali is rich, well-drained loam But there are many plants which do not like these ideal conditions. Some flowers, vegetables and cer- tain varieties of grass, prefer shade, some want acid soul rather than sweet, some like heavy dlay better than Ioam or sand. The thing in planning is ta con-* sider these special likes and dis- likes. then ta select those plants that suit onc special location. Most vegetabies, however, are, pretty keen on agenerous amnount of sun, but they have distinct likes and dislikes in the matter of soul. For deep-roated tbings like carrots, potatoes, etc., it is important that the soils be fairly loase at least a foot down. Cer- tain types prefer sandy sou ta dlay . But no matter what the soul is like ta start with by a littie planning and care anc can change it fairly easiiy. Silis to Fit If very wet and heavy it may be necessary ta drain the garden either by tule drains or shallow, apen trenches. These heavy souls, too, wi]l greatiy benefit if ma- nure, rotted leaves and ail other vegetable matter is dug in. Same people make a practice ta sow I half the garden with some greenè crap like rye, buckwheat or cla- ver and dig in when weli grown. Even a good crop of weeds will belp if dug under. Ail waste inatter like pea poids, carrat tops, corn stalks, etc., should be saved and dug in. Strangely enough the samec treatment is good for light, sandyr soil. The rotted vegetable refusec dug in adds what is technicallyr known as humus, puts some bodyf into the soul so it will hold mois-t ture better. r Wins High Musical Award Mary McBride, age 12 years, won the bighest marks in sight reading in ail classes at the Ki- wanis Music Festival beld in Pet- erboro last week.

The first is ordinarily ap- plied ta the larger members of, the group and the second ta the. smaller ones, but there is reallyl no difference between the two. 1 Most of the Pigeon's caatr istics are quite apparent ta the average observer: smail head, short legs, weak feet, and sleek look. The caoing voice is also distinctive. Peculiarities not so gions, wbich are more or less, naked, and the bill, hich is bar-1 ny at the tip and bas a swelling! Lnear the base about the ýnostrils Something unique in Birdiland is its metbod of drinking. The bill is immersed ta the nostrils, and tle water drawn up in a contin- uous flow. A pigeon's food consists main-ý Iv of grain seeds, and fruits. Strange as it may seem, it alsa re- quires saît. The young, batched in a fiattish, frail nest of twigs and straws, are fed at first by a fiuid secreted ln the parent's crop, and later with partially digested food that has been regurgitated. For this the baby inserts its bill into the bill of the aduit. The breast muscles, wbich are used ta raise and lower the wings, are unusually deveiope-d, enabi- ing the Pigeon ta rise almost ver- ticaliy and fiy at an exceedingly higb speed, sometimes more than 60 miles an hour. These muscles, attached ta the upper arm. bone close ta the shoulder, are extra- ardinariiy heavy, weigbing fromn 1/5 ta 12 of the w-hale bird, bones and ail. The wings are pointed, flat, and pawerful. The tail, which may have a spread up ta 180 degrees, is used for steering, and by mere- ly opening or closing directs the flight upwards or downwards.
