For particulars write SalesManager, PELHAM NURSERY CO., <0-18 Toronto, Ontario NOTES AND COMMENTS The Russian Government, as a result result of the prohibition of the sale of vodka, has on-hand 260,000,000 gallons gallons of v that liquor. Various uses are proposed for it. One iiiventor has devised a process for converting the liquor into' india rubber. Others have found it of utility as a fuel oil - for motor-cars. The Finance Minister is in favor of destroying it altogether, lest the storage of so great an amount prove a temptation to some impoverished impoverished administration in future to profit profit by the monopoly at the expense of the souls and bodies of the people. The net profit to the State from the sale of vodka in a single year has risen as high as $290,000,000 at least. The The vodka bottle had become a household god among the peasants, and was the most conspicuous furniture furniture of every parish feast. The reason reason was not far to seek. It contained from 40 to 57 per cènt. of alcohol, distilled distilled from potatoes or rye. Its autograph autograph was writ large in an enfeebled neurasthenic population and the partial partial paralysis of industrial efficiency. It was, of course, the spur to crime and uncontrollable excess of every sort. To change, vodka into such useful useful substances as rubber and fuel is a triumph comparable with that_ of beating swords into plowshares.

Germany apparently wants to make peace on the assumption that the Allies - have been defeated. In other words, to réap the fruits of actual victory. victory. On the other hand, the Allies naturally refuse to take the German word for their defeat. They must admit, admit, as a matter of course, that they have had plenty of reverses. But they may be pardoned for doubting whether four great nations, none of which has been struck in a vital part; four nations which still count superior numbers and resources to the enemy and believe themselves to be growing stronger every day, can properly, be regarded as defeated. It is safe to say that if peace is to be concluded on the theory that any one is the victor and any one else is the vanquished the evidence will have to be much stronger than, the first year and a half of the war has presented. presented. There will have to be a defeat defeat which is so plain that not only one but also the other side can see it distinctly with the naked eye---a defeat defeat in fact and not one merely on "points." *---- An Electric Umbrella.

Dated at Bowmanville, November 28rd, 1016. . 5 4 - What a difference one sees in men-- in their dress, general appearance, manners, temperament, tastes. Who does not like to see a clean-cut, manly man ? . A well-groomed man ? An agreeable, courteous, obliging man ? A man who shows good judgment, common sense, a fund of humor ? A man in whose company you desire to be and receive prçfit and an uplift from association - with him ? Personal appearânee is a large factor in the success or failure of a man in almost every walk in life. The man wtyo greets you with a smile, who carries a pleasing countenance will unconsciously unconsciously win friends wherever he goes. Physical form, a proper carriage and development of the body likewise wins admiration. The 'man who dresses his body well makes a. further strong bid for popularity. Professional men especially should pay constant attention attention to their dress. .Three men in particular we always want to see well groomed and well dressed--our family doctor, our minister and the man who teaches our children. There are many others ; indeed, all men should give heed to their personal appearance. An old adage used in former days by tailors ran: "The fit of the coat often proclaims the man." The lesson lesson to be deducted from this is, show your good taste in dress and you show to the world that you have good taste in all things. * Why do people leave the country and go to the towns and cities? The reasons are many, but the lure of city life is the main one, we believe. Some tell us the country is tame and uninteresting for young people. They must find enjoyment of some character character arid it is more easily found in towns and cities. We--cannot speak so well for the country as we once could, for all our youthful years were spent on the farm, and if any boy wants more fun and real satisfying enjoyment than we and the other young fellows of our community got, he must be hard to satisfy. . What with parties of the ordinary young people, the wood bees, the husking bees, pareing bees, quilting bees with party at night, barn raisings with young folks' dance at night, surprise parties, and they were often many during a winter, singing schools, debates, spelling contests, school against school, coasting and skating ; in winter, sleighing parties, and sundry sundry other pastimes, there was really no end to enjoyment. :K ; * * * But whether young folks in the country find as much pleasure in such amusements now-a-days or in the more modern entertainment afforded in country districts, the fact remains that in spite of the efforts of the public school authorities the agricultural agricultural societies and the efforts of the Government to induce young persons to remain on the land, the statistics of Canada for the last few decades show a constant and sure rural decrease decrease and a corresponding and contemporaneous contemporaneous "urban increase--that is, there is constant egress of the young people from rural homes to the towns and cities. Economists tell us that this continual flow of humanity away from the country presents a very menacing danger to economic well- being,- as agriculture is the basic industry industry of Canada as it is of most countries. It is the farmer who feeds us all and our living comes out of the soil, but it has to be tickled with plow, harrow, cultivator, disc implements implements and not only these operations, but the regular cultivation and working working required by some crops through the season of growth and maturity as well as the reaping, harvesting, hauling, threshing, marketing and so- forth, require manual labor and direction, direction, so that considerable numbers of workmen in the fields and female ser- ice in the homes are a positive necessity, necessity, for while automatic machinery may be installed in factories and mills with almost apparent human actions, actions, the work of the tillers of the soil çannot be done automatically. ***** Hence, the question arises again and often as to what might be the ! reason for this constant rural depop- J ulation. For in spite of greatly im- ; proved conditions in the homes and , on the farms to lessen manual labor , for both sexes by the introduction ! of labor-saving machinery, new meth- , ods of cultivation, rural mail service and inventions, including that wonderful wonderful convenience the rural telephone, the out flow to urban centres goes on witty little cessation. The opinion opinion is expressed in answer to- this question that in the pursuit of these helpful material gains, improvements along social and intellectual lines which tend to make rural life attractive attractive to the young people--the advantages, advantages, many as they are, are too often disregarded and the -glamor of .city life is irresistible. It was not our intention when wé started out with this subject of country life to pursue it beyond a paragraph or two, but we find the subject too inviting at this point to switch off and so will say that there are very many conditions conditions that admit of improvment in farm and other country conditions which have a tendency to produce discontent among young people. * * * * * We shall now consider a number of these conditions which are most apparent apparent to an observer who. goes from city or town into the agricultural districts. districts. To begin with, the, rural home. Lok at the average farmer's habita tion. We are not dealing with the exceptions. Most of the year round life, on the farm is a busy one both in and out doors. The farmer and his help, male and female, rise early and after a heavy day's work are ready, for bed when evening comes. They take little time for% reading especially especially in the busier seasons or for such other enjoyments as the nature craves. .Here is where trouble often starts. The boy -becomes discontented discontented because his father fails to consider that he is a boy and expects him to do a man's work regardless of the boy's desire for recreation among other boys less engaged. In like manner the daughter in the home is bound down by domestic duties, as usually there are hired men to be provided for. Too many farm homes unfortunately have too few modern conveniences for lightening women's labor while the barns and other ^farm buildings are modernly equipped with the latest labor-saving devices. - The ordinary farmer doen't give enough attention to the little home luxuries which contribute contribute so much to the real enjoyment enjoyment of home life. He fails to think out ways to please his sons and daughters or to create a family pride in the home and .farm. Too often they reach years o¥ maturity for their board and clothes and stingy allowance allowance for spending money, forgetting what he should remember of his own experience as . a young man--the desire desire for independence which is characteristic characteristic of all normal young persons wherever they may live. * * * * * The schtypLfife of farm boys and girls is accountable, too, for very much of the discontent discovered, in rural homes. One primary cause of trouble becomes apparent in the adolescent period when boys particularly particularly become ruthless and often dis contented with all sorts of things around them--the uninviting appearance appearance of the country school with its innocent little girl teacher in short dresses. The school is more than likely meagerly equipped, inadequately inadequately ventilated and only maps adorn the four walls. Why should not country schools be as. attractive, as well furnished and bé in every respect respect as good as town schools ? The section should afford it equally as well as the town. If the boy or'girl by well directed home study, the parents co-operating with the teachers, teachers, should succeed m passing the entrance examination to high schools and is sent away to town they see very quickly the vast difference between between rural and urban conditions and ten chances to one have little desire if any to return to settle on the farm. We regret do say here, too, that the present high scty»|^^ourse of study does very little t^^wercome this tendency. tendency. The subjects taught in hjgh schools rather fits the students tor- business or professional life while few of them pay much regard to the needs of the country. True, there is some effort being made under the modern methods of the agricultural representative to convert into elementary elementary agricultural colleges with beneficial results, too. * * * * * But to hold the boys and girls on : the farm the standard of farm life j must be higher, more inviting and ; less strenuous.

The recent introduction introduction of school fairs, ünder careful careful and wise direction, may add some fascination to farm life and create increased interest- in the work and help them to. more.intimate knowledge knowledge of farm products. We 'have" seen enough to convince us. that good results can be obtained from tending the little plot of ground and learning the proper conditions necessary for. best results. There is a danger though of tricks of dishonesty being 'learned through the strong desire to win a prize. Parents should watch with great care to see that no act of dishonesty dishonesty is permitted in getting exhibits exhibits ready for the school fair. Some very ugly stories have reached us which if true will do far more harm to a boy or girl than all the good that can result from this modern miniature farming. The varied social gathering referred to in the first paragraph counted for much in making our life in the country country one of happy contentment. The same desire for company and amusement amusement now-a-days, we are told, is one of • the most potent reasons why our youths leave their farm homes to seek the attractions of the city. In pioneer days diversion was supplied by the dependence dependence of one farmer upon another which necessitated frequent social gatherings. Introduction of machinery machinery and other modern contrivances has changed all this, and as a result farm life on the average is more limited limited to the individual farm and farming has become as a consequence a mere routine. All sorts of games are promoted promoted in some localities which give zest and variety to country life. Games are a wholesome recreation and should be encouraged even to shortening hours of farm labor, for in order to win a game each player must use his best efforts to compete successfully with his fellow players, and it promotes fellowship. Lastly rural life does not usually afford the chances for advancement along literary lines. Libraries are not provided or they are very limited at best and the right classes of books are not provided in them. Reading does very much in shaping a child's mind, arod it is just as important that the country child should have as good books as the city or town child. Broad mindedness, the result of good reading, reading, leads to contentment and creates as well a desire for advancement. Such provision in a home cannot fail to make it more attractive to old and young. Provide all necessary comforts comforts and conveniences, make home and farm life as attractive as possible, possible, teach boys and girls to regard farming as one of the best and noblest occupations, to appreciate the freedom and beauties of rural life, and to realize the splendid opportunities opportunities it affords them of getting close to nature and of developing individuality and character, and a spirit of freedom and independence as no other occupation does, and these will all help to keep the boys and girls in the country. Sfc " ifc * * We wonder how many of readers read regularly the articles appearing in The Saturday Globe, Farmer's Advocate, Advocate, and other publications by Peter McArthur, who writes extensively extensively on rural problems ? Better never to miss any article he writes. Here is a paragraph that appeals to us so forcefully that we quote it bodily; It is on the very important question of ventilation, and applies with peculiar force now when there is so much influenza. about us, affecting affecting both man arid beast: The amount of sickness among people and live stock makes me wish that I knew how to conduct a strong campaign in favor of proper ventilation, ventilation, for I am convinced that lack of ventilation is at the bottom of a large share of the trouble. We have prepared prepared so carefully for continuous cold wheather that when a warm spell comes our houses and stables are like ovens. By being too warm we are more liable to colds and similar ailments ailments when obliged to expose ourselves. ourselves. There is a world of truth in Dooley's remark that: "If the doctors doctors would open more windows and fewer people we would get along better." . Fresh air is the cheapest medicine in the world as well as the most plentiful, and I am assured that microbes fear it as they do poison. A Toronto doctor told me that he is such an enthusiast on the subject that he sleeps in the open air on his verandah every night, both summer and winter. I am afraid that many enterprising farmers who have built bank barns and cement stables under their barns have made a grievous mistake by not putting in a thoroughly scientific system of ventilation. Of the many barns and stables of this kind that I have been shown through during the past few years I can remember only one that was properly ventilated. All of them were too warm and in some cases the owners told me with pride that even in the coldest weather weather their stables were so cosy and warm that when doing the chores they would perspire as freely as when doing their summer work. I think this helps to explain why so many owners of cement stables are ill at the present time and have cattle suffering suffering from - pneumonia. If they had plenty of fresh air circulating through their buildings it would be better for both the owners and stock.
