She Finds a Wav To Se!l. Raw Milk Faced with the possibility of having to discontinue the selling of raw milk for human consumption, a Deseronto (Ont.) milk vendor,, who owns four cows, faced an emerg- ency when recent pasteuriza- tion Jaws were passed. Now she displays a sign “Milk for sale for dog's and cats,” and reports a satisfac- tory demand. FREEDOM FROM WEED SEEDS C. h. S. Palmer, well-known judge, gives timely advice to farmers planning to exhibit at Guelph Win- ter Pair and other Seed Shows. Clover and grass seeds are judg- ed from the standpoint of freedom from weed seeds, particularly those prohibited and noxious under the Seeds Act. They are also judged on freedom from other crop seeds; germination and general appear- ance, says C. L. S. Palmer, noted seed expert, in an interview this week. He stated it was almost im- possible to clean out Dodder, Cam- pion, Chicory, Field Peppergrass, etc., in clovers and timothy unless special cleaning machinery was used. Certain other crop seeds were hard to removeâ€"white clo- ver and timothy in alsike,.red clo- ver in alfalfa,and vice versa. There- fore, seed containing too large a percentage of other crop seeds should not be used for exhibition purposes. Use Wind and Screens Germination is indicated by col- our and lustre, Mr. Palmer stated. Size, plumpness, uniformity in size and colour, colour and the lustre of the seed and freedom from inert matter (stems, etc.) contribute greatly to general appearance. Size, plumpness and uniformity of seed are obtained and increased by the use of wind and screens. The Right Colour Seed for1 show should not contain brown seed, either plump or shrun- ken. Samples containing much green seed should not be chosen as it indicates immaturity. Most judges of alsike and red clover pre- fer the dark purple type Of seed. Timothy, of course, should be silv- ery in colour and contain as little hulled seed as possible; alfalfa and sweet clover should be a honey yellow. While colour of seed cannot be improved except by eliminating light immature seeds, lustre some- times can be brought back by ar- tificial means. The seed can be shined by being placed in a long cotton bag and tilted from one end to the other so that the surface is rubbed against the sides of the bag. The screens and sieves used for the dressing of seed for commerce are given in a bulletin published by the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, No. 137, New Series. The BOOK SHELF! By ELIZABETH EEDY JOURNEY OF TAPIOLA By ROBERT NATHAN A child could read this “Journey cf Tapiola” as a nursery tale, and find it, quite satisfactory, something like the travels of the little red hen who went to tell the queen the skies were falling. Or tin adult could find in it food for profound thought. Here the adventurers are a little dog, Tapiola; a venerable rat, Jeremiah; and a canary, Rich- ard, who felt they could be heroes if they left home and found the right environment in which to ex- ercise their talents. Together they concealed them- selves in an ash can, and were car- ried out by a street cleaner and placed aboard a dump scow, head- ed out to sea. Since Tapiola had always led a sheltered life (chopped liver on a plate whenever he asked for it), tire cold, hard world was a blow and a shock to him. However, Je- remiah and Richard helped him to take it. Here, incidentally, is one of the most delightful books of the year. Journey of Tapiola. By Robert Nathan . . . 121 pp. . , .

Issue 46â€"-’38 Grading Canadian Dressed Poultry New Regulations Call For Dis- tinction to Ee Made Before Preparing for Market Under the new regulations res- pecting the grading and marking of dressed poultry in Canada, is- sued by Order in Council 14th of September, 1938, the kinds, sub- kinds, and grades of the Canadian Dressed Poultry Standards are as follows: â€" Chickens â€" squab broilers, broi- lers, fryers, roasters, poulards, ca- pons, stags. Fowl â€" hens, roosters. Turkeys â€" young hens, young toms, old hens, old toms. Ducksâ€"Ducklings, ducks. Geese â€" goslings, geese. Pigeons â€" squab pigeons. Guineas â€" guinea chickens, guin- ea fowl. The kinds fo poultry outlined in the Canadian Dressed Poultry Standards include both sexes and no distinction is made between the breeds. According to the definitions of the kinds and sub-kinds, chick- ens, ducklings, goslings, young tur- keys and guinea chickens are all young birds with soft flexible car- tilage at the posterior end of the breastbone or keel. They are birds that are prepared for market and killed at or before maturity, iind before they are used for breeding purposes. CALCIUM DIET FOR LONG LIFE A new secret of long lifeâ€"that it depends partly on the calcium your ancestors ate. â€" was an- nounced to the U, S. Academy of Sciences last week. If a family is fed a rich calcium diet, the re- sults add up in the second and later generations. The amount of calcium in the descendants is increased. They live longer. JAWS AND DEAFNESS The American Society for the Hard of Hearing learned last week that many cases of deafness are caused by abnormal relations be- tween the jaws. Repositioning of the jaws, it was said, often would entirely eliminate deafness. TO CURE DRUG ADDICTS A hypodermic in the spine to make the cure of drug addicts easy and painless is reported. The hypodermic is an anaesthe- tic causing “nerve block,” a form of anaesthesia often used in surg- ery to render a portion of the body insensible to pain. This sort of nerve block frees narcotic addicts during their first few days of abstention from the nervous shock, excitement and mental upsets that accompany withdrawal of morphine. WHEN ATOMS EXPLODE The extent to which we are af- fected by powerful unseen forces is indicated by " studies made on the cosmic rays at the University of Manchester, England. They have detected atomic explosions which spread their debris over a span of fifteen feet, and there are indications that the effects cover greater areas. They estimate that the total energy release in one of the atomic explosions observed reached as high as 10,000,000,000,- 000,000 electron volts. EYES, ELECTRIC BATTERIES Human eyes are powerful elec- tric batteries. This discovery, showng that each eyeball is an in- dependent battery, was announc- ed last week by a Yalfe University psychologist. Each eye produces a current averaging 1-1,000-volt, an electrical energy equal to that of the heart beats which make the recordings of electrocardiographs. Numerous eyes, Dr. Miles found, average l-400th volt; one gave 2-100 volt. ^BRINGS INSTANT EASE from Irish Army Riders Will C ompe'e At “Royal” ... lu'*?;** *c Arriving to take part in the International Horse Show at Madison Square Gardens, New York, members of the Irish army riding team are warmly welcomed to this continent.

Water Erosion Destroys Soil Evidences of Destruction Are Seen On Nearly Every Culti- vated Sloping Land in Can- ada While the extent of the damage done to cultivated soils in Canada by water erosion is not as yet suf- ficiently apparent to arouse pub- lic opinion, there is clear evidence that a considerable amount of dam- age has been done by This agency of destruction states Dr. A. Leahey, Division of Field Husbandry, Cen- tral Experimental Farm. “It is not exaggerating the case to state that on nearly all sloping cultivated land in this country, soil erosion by water has taken plaçe. Tp some dis- tricts the appearance of yellow clay or gravel spots, the stunted and sparse vegetation on the knolls, the occasional presence of gullies, are unmistakable evidences of its de- structive presence. ‘‘The common farm practice of cultivating and seeding land up and down the slope, is one of the lead- ing causes of soil erosion by water. Therefore, the first step that should be taken in controlling or prventing washing" away of the soil is to avoid this practice by culti- vating the crops across the slope, or on the contour of the land. Lighter Furs Are Popular For Between - Season Use and Wear In Mild Climates NEW YORK,â€"Furs make an appeal not only from the point of view of warmth but also of becom- ingness. Therefore the lighter pelts have their place in our con- sideration for between-season use and for wear in comparatively mild climates. Among them the following are important: Krim- mer, Galyak, Mouton, Rabbit, Kidskin, Burunduki, Marmot, Oce- lot and Pony. Krimmer is a curly slate-colored lambskin, which, when its curls are thick and even, has an attractive appearance. Galyak is the skin of the new-born lamb, goat, or pony. It is soft and shiny, quite hand- some but fragile. Mouton is lambskin processed to look like beaver or nutria. When Bliss Is Blister “If ignorance is bliss,” said she to him, “well then, my boy, you’d better get your life insured, you’re apt to die of joy.” Brownâ€"“I haven’t seen your son for years. He seemed quite a promising fellow.” Jonesâ€"“Too much so. He’s been sued twice for breach of promise.” Jasper: “Why do you want a rubber plant in your gar- den?” Casper: “I want to raise tires for my garden truck,” It’s after the tenants move out that the landlord sees the hand- writing on the wall.

I’m a dentist myself.” If placed end to. end, the hairs grown by the average man in one year would equal 7,604 feet, we learn. The trick, of course, is to get them to grow end to end. Goofus â€" “They say the king of Denmark lives a regu- lar dog’s life.” Rufus.â€"“Of course; he’s a great Dane, isn’t he?” Dizzy Figures Finished Him' A transient will, walk over all Ontario and perhaps some neighboring provinces in the course of a year which may entitle him to walk no more. A Tiverton farmer hired a transient to plow a 15-acre field. The newly engaged man, before starting the job, sat down and figured out he would have to walk 160 miles in plow- ing the field, so he resigned on the spot.

Football Terms If You Want'to “Be Able to En- joy A Good Game, You Should Know What Some of The Terms Mean For those people who like going to football games, even though the amount of their knowledge of the game is rather vague and sketchy, the following pointers by Joan Dur- ham may be a help in following the game with even keener enjoyment. There are three chief ways of scoring the touchdown, the field goal and the extra point. The touchdown is made when a player carries the ball or "receives a pass across the goal line. It counts five. After making a touchdown, a team gets one try to score an extra point, which counts one. The point is made by kicking the ball over the’ crossbar, by carrying the ball over the goal line, or by catching a. forward pass over the goal line. A field goal is made when a play-1 er kicks the ball over the cross- bars. It scores three.
