He took pride in growing his own vegetables--and he was specially proud of his excellent carrots. One day he noticed they were disappearing. Here and there the ranks were getting thinner. It seemed odd that the marauder never made a big haul. Only a pound of carrots, at the most, disappeared at a time. Solving the Mystery The Professor kept watch, and found the culprit. Tt was a dog--his own dog! That seemed queer. So did the fact that, having carefully pulled up three or four carrots, Fido made no attempt to consume them. He took one in his mouth and trotted off, followed by his master. Straight to the stable of an old horse went the dog. He liked the horse. They often rubbed noses in friendly greeting. And be had seen his master pull up carrots and take them to his friend. . . . That was the solution of the mystery. In the stable the dog stood up on his hind legs and offered his gift to the horse, wagging his tail with pleasure when his equine pal took it. He was allowed to continue his kind offices. New Provincial Highway Network Orangeville will soon be the central point in a network of new, wide-paved highways forming important links with the main traveled routes to Ontario's chief tourist resorts. The new highways now being built in Central Ontario readily indicate the pivotal point Orangeville will be in motor traffic. This year is almost certain to see the development and paving of what is known at present as the "Guelph Road" from Guelph to Alton, with outlets to Highway 10 at Caledon and to Orangeville. This road, "Highway 24", connects Guelph to Highway 10 -i- Eramosa, Evert, i, Erin and Alton. Efforts are to be continued this spring to have the Department of Highways build a new "Grand River Highway" between Kitchener and Orangeville, through Elora and Fergus. This would make a connecting link with No. 9 Highway about ten miles west of this town. Operations are expected soon to continue on the building of the Schom-berg-Orangeville Highway. This new paved highway will run through Mono Mills and Ballycroy. When completed this highway will form a paved link between Orangeville and " four-lane s-per-highway now under construction between Brown's Line and Barrie, through Kleinburg, Noble'ton and Cookstown. There is also a plan to extend ' is Orangeville-Schomberg Highway east to Newmarket, Uxbridge and on to Peterborough. Venezuela Has Diamond Glut But Buyers Are Few--20,000 at Caroni River In Search of Stones In Year Nearly 50,000 carats of diamonds have been taken from the bed of the Caroni River, in south-eastern Venezuela, since 1914. However, there are not enough buyers for the number of diamonds and the market in Ciudad Bolivar once more is flooded. The first diamonds were found in 1901, about thirty miles from the confluence of the Caragua and the Caroni. Until 1914 diamonds were taken from the i iveV. but because of the low price work was suspended then. Later it was resumed, but in 1924 was once more halted. In 1927 the river was extremely ] and 15,000 carats were found. New explorations were started, but the water rose ,-igain and the work was hampered until 1936 and 1937, when 30,000 carats were recovered. Only .'ungle Trails The diamond ion of Venezuela begins about 120 miles from Ciudad Bolivar. There are no roads to the area, only mountain jungle trails. The most recent diamond rush occurred in 1937, when more than 20,000 persons jammed the banks of the Caroni River. They endured privations and hardships when the rainy season set in and their supplies were almost exhausted, but tost of them stuck it out in the hope that the river would go down. Few dared leave the "claims" they had staked, and some are still there, although the river has not dropped sufficiently to let them explore the bed. Valuable Limestone Deposit Discovered $1,000,000 Value Placed on Deposit By Geologist CHARLETTOWN. -- There is $1,-000,000 worth of limestone in a deposit at Miminegash, P.E.I., Ernest Myers, who has spent eight years mining and prospecting in British Columbia and made geological surveys in New Brunswick, believes. He said that at Miminegash the earth overburdens the lime deposit by from six to ten feet, there being no rock showing. A sample was sent to the Dominion analyst at Ottawa, it was said, and the assay showed 85% per cent, pure lime. The official highly recommended it for agricultural use as a "soil sweetener." Use As "Soil Sweetener" It v/g pointed out that Prince Ed-warcL^Kind spent thousands of dol-laH^BIl^ftar for this valuable "soil About 20 years ago limestone from Miminegash beach was crushed and placed on various farms in the community. Its beneficial effect upon the soil is still evident. The venture was abandoned at that time, however, because of transportation and other difficulties. ....Gardening Notes.... FLOWER BOXES A brown or green-stained window box overflowing with gaily blooming flowers is easily produced. This sort of gardening is highly intensive and so a very rich soil should be used, and in addition a fairly frequent application of chemical fertilizer during the season. The box must be of fair depth, at least seven inches of soil being available. Being exposed on all sides to drying winds, a thorough soaking once a day is advised. There must be holes in the bottom of the box to provide drainage, and also a layer of gravel, cinders, broken crockery or similar material for the same purpose. Along the front, trailing Nasturtiums, German Ivy, Lobelia, Alyssum and similar plants are put in, with Petuanias, Ageratums, Begonias, Ferns, Geraniums and any other plants especially recommended for this purpose farther back. Shelter from the sun for a day or two should be provided until the plants get established. The same treatment and planting materials will be used with hanging pots. PUSH VEGETABLES Tender vegetables are those which have been grown quickly. Especially with such things as radish, carrots and beets, is slow growth disastrous as the roots become woody and filled with objectionable fibres. But this rule also applies to those things used for salads. On this FREE, PANTS VALUED AT $4.00. -The Greatest Bargain Qffer in Cai fccta.

Cultivation alone will often keep the vegetables going through a dry spell, but, of course, a few pails of water or an hour or two with the hose at this time will lend further aid. And where the supply of water is not as convenient as it might be, it is a good plan, in laying out the garden, to also plant those things most in need of extra moisture, such as radish, lettuce and celery, closest to the pump. Fertilizer is another way of hurrying the growth and therefore assuring vegetables of the highest quality. CUTTING GARDENS When an abundance of flowers for bouquets is wanted, experienced gardeners often grow these in a special place. Usually a portion of the vegetable patch or a row at the back may be reserved for this purpose. Some well designed beds of mixed annuals are spoiled if too many flowers are picked and then again there are certain things like sweet peas, for instance, that have little attractive foliage but beautiful blooms.

These are the purest and finest papers made-//TV and they come in the Sty)) handiest Booklet CIGARETTE PAPERS New Type Tomato Will Be Exported Ottawa Hopes York Township Men's Work Will Capture New Market* A new Canadian tomato will be moving on the British market in a few months which Dominion horticultural-ists hope will capture the bulk of the trade now held by Spain and Italy. Known as the "Jan-ru," it was developed by John Janicky, 52-year-old Ukrainian market gardener of York township, Ont., and Robert Rumball, a supervisor of York township unemployed's garden plots. The tomato's name recognizes the work of both men in its development. Less Moisture, Retains Freshness M. B. Davis, Dominion horticultur-alist, said this week that the tomato had great possibilities in the canning trade. Its main feature is that it has less moisture than the ordinary Canadian variety and its flesh is firmer. When canned, it holds together so well that it can be sliced. In addition, the Jan-Ru has a milder flavor than most tomatoes and is not quite so acid. It is smaller in size, comparing favorably with Italian and Spanish which are favorites on the British market. Flavor Is Milder Janicky and Rumball developed the new tomato by crossing European and Canadian types. The tomato is distinguished by its ability to retain its natural freshness for at least one month after being picked, and indefinitely if treated with paraffin on the stems. The tomatoes also retain their natural shape, clor and firmness after being canned. Lack Of Minerals Is Serious Issue New Department Is Organized At O.A.C. to Combat Deficiency In Stock Feeding. Concerned over mineral deficiency in live stock feeding in many of the older counties in Ontario, Hon. P. M. Dewan, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, deems the matter so important that a new Department of Animal Nutrition will be opened in the near future at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. It will be under the direction of Dr. H. D. Brannion, a nutrition expert attached to the Poultry Department, O.A. C. A survey in 1931-32 by the Ontario Veterinary College showed phosphorus deficiency in animals was most pronounced in old farmin.sr areas. The condition, aggravate! in successive dry summers, has been forcibly brought to the attention of agricultural officials. Phosphorus In Milk It is pointed out that every time a farmer sells a can of milk he sells an ounce of phosphorus also. This phosphorus must be returned to the cow in some form if the animal is to remain healthy. It can only be done through feed high in phosphorus qualities. Steamed bone meal, bone char and di-sodium phosphate are preferred mineral supplements. Di-sodium costs approximately $7 per cwt. There is lots of proof, Dr. Brannion states, that iodine is concerned in the yield of milk and butter fat test. Most inland regions are deficient in iodine, therefore it is good business to feed iodized salt. Civic Pride is the quality that < take 3,000 people and make a crowd 75,000. Women are fast thinkers.

Sue - "Should I r irry a Silicosis Can Be Eliminated Silicosis in most occupations probably will be eliminated as a meance to health within the next few years,' Dr. A. R. Riddell, of Toronto, clinician of the division of industrial hygiene of the Ontario Department oi Health, told members of the Wayne County Medical Society last week at Detroit. Dr. Riddell said that the credit foi the reduction in the number of silicotics was due largely to industrial engineers, not to the medical profes-. sion. He ventured the opinion thai there would be virtually no silicosis within 10 years among miners anrf very little among granite cutters. , LACOMA The 856 ft. level of this promising gold mining property will be under aggressive development at an early date.
