Special | {Chapter Invention of 13. -- The Weaving. | Wives in the Stone Age had plenty | Much of the time, they spent cook- {ing meat over the family bonfire. At {other times they sewed skins to- |gether to make clothes, which was inot an easy job. Uf course they also had to take care of their babies, -and see that the children behaved properly. (One way that children "behaved" then was by keeping out of the way of wild beasts.) Later on, a new occupation was found for women. This occupation was weaving. 'The latter part of the Stone Age is probably the time people learned to weave. Weaving means 'to entwine or lace together. In those days, people had no idea of making cloth, Tuey did not weave with thread. The tender inner bark of trees was what they used, and with this bark they made baskets. Let us suppose it was a woman who first learned to weave. She was (tired of carrying small bits of kind- |ling wood into the cam:p whenever {the fire got low. Such wood she had to carry in ner arms, and she was aispleased by the number of trips which had to be made. "I wish I had something in which to carry these little pieces of wood," she said to herself. She tried to solve the problem in many ways, but each time she fail- ed. Then the day came when an idea fashed through her mind. Taking ithe inner bark from a small tree, she cut it into strips with a stone Y BRILISH WHIG By Uincle Ray She obtained a flat surface that heid together pretty well | At this point she may have called | other women to her. "Gea here," she sald to them, "I | have made this from bark. Can you tell me how to keep on working so ws to make something which will hold little bits of fifirewood?" The other women thought for ol while. They had different ideas. The first woman tried out the plans. Finally, it was found that sides could, be woven to the flat plece. When that wae done the contrivance would hold things. The basket had been invented. This is an attempt to represent a Stone Age weman weaving a basket from bark.

Dille Cc.) ~ 'HERDS MUCH REDUCED BY THE LONG WINTER Not' Promising--Fodder Lacked Food Values. Prospects for early production in the dairy industry are not very good, owing to the general condition of the herds that are much reduced by {he long winter, despite the heavy stocks of fodder carried over by the farm- ers. There was a surplus of hay, | grains and other ensilage, but, when asked to explain the condition of many herds, 'Dr. Wildam Nicholls, veterinary, who has been a life-long practitioner in Kingston and Fronte- nac, stated that the fodder did not have the food values in fit. i "The farmers all fed their cattle | well," he said, "but it was a long | winter with low temperatures and | this was hard on the vitality of the | milking herds.
