Cattle Rustlers Getting Sneaky Warning to Western druggists and drug supply salesmen. That slow-spoken hombre ask- ing about tranquilizing drugs may be wanted by the sheriff. According to a dispatch from Montana, rustlers are using tranquilizing means to slow critters down and make them happy about being rustled. It takes the moo and the kick out of the beast, and he can then be easily scuttled into a. truck and off the home place. ° This is a pretty sneaky low the range varmints have sunk to. It used to be that a rustler at least gave the owner some- thing of a fair shake in that he had a chance to notice some commotion and perhaps hear his gold-on-the-hoot being removed.

This year 1,076 horses, including 220 children's ponies, havg been en- tered in the various competi- tion classes at Ball's Bridge. Everything is ready for the five days -- from Aug. 4 to 8 inclu- sive -- when, to the rear of the onlookers on the crowded stands, the horses will ride out to compete in the jumping events, . The extraordinary variety of the spectators -- drawn from every part of the Republic cf Ireland and abroad -- adds to the attraction. Here are imma- culately dressed gentlemen wearing gray toppers and car- rying new binoculars in shiny leather cases. Alongside are burly, red-fac- ed farmers with their tweed caps, the mud of the Irish fields sticking to their thick boots, carrying stout ashplants, and looking as if they had come to a country fair.. Many of them regard the horse show as a su- perfair where they see the best horses and cattle. Visitors from Britain and far- ther afield, form another section 'of the onlookers, interested al- most as much in the industrial display as in the horses or the cattle exhibits. There is always something. for strangers to mar- vel at. During the war period I saw one Englishwoman gazing with rapt admiration at huge sides of bacon ranged in glis- tening rows. In:England at that- time bacon was strictly rationed ol course, "Are they real?" she whis- pered to her companion, unable in those 'days of scarcity to be- lieve her eyes, - Today, the unfamiliar stil makes its appeal. Men and wo- men from the cities crowd into the narrow lane between the paddocks where the ponies put their velvety noses over the wooden doors to be stroked. The cattle stand or lie placidly among their heaps of straw. The din of the poultry section, The butter, cheese; fruit, ani flower exhibits, all draw their admirers. - Yet countrymen and their wives can be seen crowding into the industrial section ranged in four great halls and overflow- ing to the machinery paddock, where horsepower instead of horses is the prevailing topic. These people from the rural areas are as delighted with the gadgets of the city as the towns- people are with the thudding of the horses' hoofs as they strive for victory writes R. 'M. Fox in The Christian Science Monitor. : This year five teams, from Denmark, Britain, Spain, Switz- erland and Ireland, are compet- ing in the international. jump- ing -- and more may enter. The grand parades will be headed eich day by packs of hounds from famous hunts, The show grounds are idesl, for there is a long and rich tradition behind this event. The first Dublin Horse Show was held in 1868. And 'the Royal Dublin Society began with 14 men who met in the rooms of the Philosophical Society, Trini- ty College, Dublin, on June 25, 1731;- to discuss the formation of a society for improving husban- dry, manufactures, and other useful arts, Ever since, this society has been a great civic and cultural force. It established the Botanic Gardens, which' now belong to the city, and was responsible for the first National Library. This was taken over by the govern- ment, but the. society -still has one of the most comprehensive libraries in Ireland. Its lectures and concerts are famous for their distinction. The National Museum and the National Art Gallery owe their origin to the society, as does. the College of Science. Yet, in the Irish Republic, the society is popularly known only in connection , with the horse show. When that is held, all roads lead to the show. Buses, cdrs, cycles, and pedestrians stream to the grounds, where rows of white-coated attendants supervise the clicking turnstiles. People crowd 'into the "dairy : section to see the girls in spobt- less overalls compete in churn- ing the golden butter. Then they surge. round the indusfrial 'stands. ! But the main stream con- verges on the jumping ground for the big event. Soon they roar their encouragement to the riders, shout in friumph for the when a rider just fails to make: a jump. When the prize-winners parade round the ring, they : form part of a historical pageant that reaches far back in the life of the nation.

Walking on our lawn is like treading on crisp cornflakes. Green, string beans are limp before I pick them. A remedy for 'that is to wash them in cold water and leave for awhile in the crisper. Beets are growing exactly the opposite from last summer. Then they had healthy, leafy tops but small beets. This - year the tops appear dry: and ragged but the beets are sur- prisingly good. Tomatoes. look - as if they will develop stem- rot before they have a chance to ripen. Table turnips have thin, spindley roots but the , pumpkin vines are growing well, So are the scarlet runners ex- cept that the flowers drop without producing bean-pods. Could be there are not enough bees around to pollinate the blossoms. So that's our garden." A lot of work went into it but I doubt it we get five dollars worth of produce ' from it. But I guess we shall in time develop a "next year" spirit like the prairie farmers. Put in garden year after year and hope for the best. Plant a garden. and you MAY get a crop of vege- tables. It you don't plant one, you certainly won't. By and large, the odds are about even. This week-end Art went up to the cottage and Partner went along with him -- more {or company than anything else as Art had not been feeling well, So I have had the week-end to myself -- sitting out the heat. The same applies' to Taffy and Ditto -- they were not too ac- tive either. Under normal con- ditions have you ever noticed how animals establish their own living habits -- given an oppore tunity. ~ Taffy, for instance, wants a run before breakfast. After breakfast another run outside -- but for a very dif- ferent purpose. Then he' is ready for anything -- to play ball, chase birds or just plain running. After one. o'clock he is ready for two or three hours sleep. Following supper a pro- longed .run outside is very ne- ¢tessary. After dark he looks for a game of ball in the house or to play hide and seek with the cat if she's around. One more trip outside and he's ready for for bed. -- a bed he chose for" ;himself when we first got him. g top of 'the basement stairs." Slightly chewed now but still | ~ quite serviceable.

That is, between showers | Yes, it actually rain- ed up Peterborough way -- heavy rain at night and show- ers during both days. Partner could hardly. believe "it when I told him all we had had was a fifteen-minute shower. By all accounts Dee and the boys have been having a good time on their. own -- except they all have a dose of poison ivy and a variety of insect bites. Part- ner sald it was almost as hot there as it is here. But of course they have the lake and a shallow, shore-line. For a mo- ther with small children that means a lot. What means even more is getting the boys away from the neighbourhood gang. Of course, when they are at home they, too, are part of the gang, and you know how it Is, what one doesn't think of an- other one will. The wear and tear on the. mothers' nerves . must be terrific. It is something I know little about from: actu- "al experience.: That is, except for. one week's "holiday" in Toronto when Dee was seven. .-and. Bob four.

And summer after- noons become progressively more beautiful in the afternoon . of summer. As August arrives we know that the season has passed ils high noon. The morning's plea- sant chores are over. The re- mainder of the midday meal is cleared away from the table whereon sunlight and shadow laid a damask of leaf pattern. This magic cloth will disap- pear of its own accord by the time the dishes are dried. And it we pull our chairs up to the table "again later, its top will wait, uncluttered by design and smooth of prejudice, for 'books, papers, or even a little radio. June, if we believe Lowell, has rarer days. They are pi- quant with promise. But they lack, for that very reason, the poignancy of midsummer hours bounded by. the inexorable di- mensions of "nowness"--boun- daries dismissing past as mere preparation and future as irrele- vant, In the afternoon of summer there ' comes some moment strangely close to fulfillment -- some sense: of welcome inevita- bility, This 4s apart from all the rest of the year's experience.
