Perhaps the son had, but he married a city girl, whose pretty nose is offended by the smells of earth, stables and pens, and whose feet prefer the floors of the Royal York to the turf of rural acres. And so the father‘s herd was sold at sacrifice prices, and the farm J. C. Kirkwood, in Marketing I heard of a man well known in Toronto who had a farm near Noel‘s â€"a real farm, with 100 pureâ€"bred Jerseys on it, and other costly stock. "But put ‘em inside the house, where they ought to be, and you Canadians won‘t stand for ‘em. ‘That‘s because you have evil minds in this country. _ Well, so many nudes are being painted in the woods, beside the lakes and dancing on the grass that other countries are going to think pretty soon that the woods and the grass and the lakes of Canada are just teeming with nudes. They are going to think this is a nudist country. Well, that will serve you right for being so dirty in the mind." \ "So all the Canadian painters now, they are painting their nudes yunning through the woods, or shiverâ€" ing on the edge of a lake, or dancâ€" ing on the grass. As long as they are running or shivering or dancing, #o long as they are outdoors catchâ€" ing cold and exhibiting themselves to the public, nudes are what you} eall okay in Canada. 1 ‘"Well, after a while I find*it is all right to paint nudes in Canada If you have them out in the woods, or standing by a lake as if they were going to jump in, or dancing on the grass. Then the art galleries they will admit your nudes to the exhibition. But there was one felâ€" low painted as nice a nude as you ever saw, and when the art gallery turned it down he was told it was indecent because it was wearing green slippers! In Toronto your nudes have got to be nudes. If they have green slippers, then they are Just naked ladies. ‘ Protect the birds That eat the insects That destroy the forests That conserve the waters That feed the streams That fill the reservoirs That produce the crops That moisten the lands That supply the markets That provide :hh: foodll. & ish peop T'n»at mth nation. ‘"In Toronto I go to work and paint some nudes.

"%ou have dirty minds. When I came to this country I thought to myself, ‘Ah, here is a young, clean country, unâ€" contaminated by our vices.

Exâ€" ports of ginger from Jamaica during 1934 increased nearly 44 per cent. over the previous year, which would indicate that there is an increasing demand for it. Approximately 2,394,â€" 700 lbs. were exported in 1934. \ Feed mixture for live stock have been carefully tested at agriculâ€" tural colleges and _ experimental farms across Canada with the reâ€" sult that many new facts have come to light on the food needs of animals for their various productions.

Winter killing of meadows is a severe loss to the farmer. Grass and clover seed is expensive. It costs a lot of money to seed a meadow. Winter killing destroys this investâ€" ment, and adds to the acreage to be sown or planted in the spring. At the same time it destroys the plan of crop rotation adopted by the best farmers and the soil loses the reâ€" newed fertility furnished by the growing of clover. \ One unfavorable factor of the past season, declares the Picton Gazette, was the winter killing of wheat and clover. Both suffered badly. Much of the wheat had to be reseeded and many fields of clover will have to be plowed up and sown to spring rain or planted. What makes this the more serious is the fact that the meadows were badly winter killed a year ago last winter. This resulted in a severe hay shortage last year. With a few old meadows and severe winter killing of new seeding, the kay crop will again be light. Wiitmctatiiio th . BsA 22 a Do you realize what causes rheuâ€" matism?

The Canadian Trade Commissionâ€" er at Melbourne, Australia, has cabled that the weather continues too dry for the seeding of the new crop throughout the Australian wheat belt with the exception of the State of New South Wales where prospects are generally favourable. Europe reports a slight increase in wheat acreage for 1935 and exâ€" cessive winter damage has been conâ€" fined to relatively small areas. Reâ€" ports are favourable from most areas in central and southern Eurâ€" ope with the exception that drought has caused considerable damage in Spain and latly. Unfavourable reâ€" ports have also been received from North Africa and substantial reâ€" duction in production is indicated from this area. With Canada dependent in no small way on wheat for general prosperity both in the east and the west, it is interesting at this time of the year to watch crop reports, even if it is a bit early, and so to get some grasp on the possibilities of the future An official report from Ottawa states that crop news during the past month has been of a variable nature. Timely raings have been received in many parts of Canâ€" ada and the United States, but the winter wheat crop in the United States has been irreparably damagâ€" ed. The United States Department of . Agriculture reports that 31.2 per cent of the sown acreage has been or will be abandoned and production is estimated at less than 432 million bushels as compared with 405 milâ€" lion harvested in 1934, and as comâ€" pared with an average production of 618 million from 1928 to 1932.

It is strange; and, stranger still, ponds, if once they hold eels, alâ€" ways seem to do so. Why does an eel which enters the homely and muddy Thames not stay in its lower reaches, but push on many miles in order to cross an uncomfortable field to reach a pond in Oxfordshire? Have the elvers who do this . been hatched from eggs of parents ~who lived in that pond? It is incredible that they should; that so much knowledge and geography should be inherited from the egg. Yet how is it tl!a_t all waters are regularly repeop!â€" The most remarkable part of this remarkable story is what guides eels to certain rivers. Shoals arâ€" rive in the East Atlantic: some have to go to the Channel, some to the Adriatic, some to the Baltic, some to the Mediterranean. _ What directs them? They have never seen these seas, nor the rivers running into them. There can be no memory, and instinct is only a name. Yet the fact remains that eelâ€"bearing rivers always have eels; the elvers never seem to miss them. ; There ©~they undergo a change: their bodies shrink in breadth, they lose half an inch in length, they become cylindrical or eel â€" shaped. They are now called elvers or glass eels; and in their fourth Spring, in thousands. They push up these rivers, up tributaries, up ditches, some even to ponds. in fresh water they feed voraciously, the males livâ€" ing usually five years, the females staying longer and growing much bigger. Then one Autumn night they in their turn get restless and repeat their parents‘ journey, from which they never return. They grow in size. By their secâ€" ond Summer they are in the midâ€" Atlantic. They are then about one and threeâ€"quarters of an inch long. After two and a half years, fully grown and three inches long, transâ€" parent, flat and leafâ€"shaped, they reach the west coasts of Europe and Africa. . And now their real romance starts. At once they begin to cross an ocean which they have never traversed to reach homes which they have never seen. Most of them travel northeast with the Gulf Stream, floating at a depth of about 100 fathoms in water of about 68 degrees temperature. How long they take over the journey we know not: all we know is that they leave in Autumn and that their eggs hatch in Spring; and that males who may enter the sea at five years old do not breed until they are in their eighth to tenth year. The females are always older. They breed at a depth of about 400 meters in water of fairly high temâ€" perature, probably guided to it beâ€" cause its saltness suits some chemâ€" ical necessity of their being. Anyway, they all go to the same spot, southeast of the Bermudas. After breeding, the parents die. The eggs float and hatch near the surâ€" face, and here the young begin to feed fast and to grow rapidly. 1 On this night the moment has come. It pushes out of the pond through the dewy grass, until it reaches a ditch, wriggles down this till it comes to a stream, then to a river, then to the sea. There it will find other eels, from Moroceo, from Spain, from Egypt, from Italy and from Sweden. All start to cross the sea to their distant breeding ground. For some time before, an eel in that pond has been changing. From being yellow, it has become silver, its eyes bigger, its snout sharper, its movements more restless, it has ceased to feed. So, let me give their history, and let this history start at some pond in a quiet English meadow, on an Autumn evening, warm, still and dewy. (By Major John W. Hills, M.P., in the London Spectator.) Unprepossessing â€" in appearance, often looked on with disgust, eels have a history of romance. They had crossed the Atlantic from Europe to the Bermudas and back for untold‘ ages before Columâ€" bus was born. _ There is not one single eel in the Thames or the Severn, in the Po or the Elbe, in the Danube, even in the Nile, which was not bred thousands of miles off in the West Atlantic. Romantic History Of the Eel is Told DC LARGE PACKAGE sa 4 r roang The bicycle, like many other deâ€" vices, is a product of evolution, and it would be impossible to pronounce that it was invented in a certain year,. But an Englishman connected with the tradeâ€"and England pionâ€" eered in the bicycle businessâ€"is auâ€" thority for the statement that 1985 is the centenary of the modern "wheel." It was in 1835 that the first machine was built that was driven by pedals and a chain. * And so it may be with the cel. Undoubtedly he started as a seaâ€" fish: that we know. And possibly he lived then south of the Bermudas, and this is why he returns there to breed. But though a seaâ€"fish by origin, he, like the brown trout, has become a freshâ€"water one by adoptâ€" ion. Thus the eel is the opposite of the salmon: the salmon is a seaâ€"fish, breeding in fresh water; the eel a freshâ€"water fish breeding in the sea. Natural history has always been infested by writers of legends, but surely no more egregious one has ever been propagated. Finally, there is affinity between migration of mature eels and miâ€" gration of birds. Those birds which seek a warmer climate in Winter return north to breed,. The chiffâ€" chaffs and willowâ€"wrens now flatâ€" tering and singing on our copses have wintered in Persia and Cape Colony. fProbably our northern country was their original habitat. Thus a mystery which had defied the world for centuries was disâ€" pelled. Many curious tales have been believed about the breeding of the eel. The great Izaak Walton thorght that they were bred from horsehair; others solemnly stated that they originated from corrupâ€" tion or mayâ€"dew. But it was left to a writer of last century to start the most fantastic fable of all. He â€"Cairncross was his nameâ€"solemnâ€" ly wrote and published a book, the Silver Eeel, to prove that eels proâ€" eced f:om a certain beetle. And the book contained an engraving, preâ€" sumably from life, of such a beetle, with its carapace split open and a small eel emerging. l THE FIRST BICYCLE Then in 1896 an Italian naturalist, Grassi, discovered that it was the young of our eel. Still its breeding place was not discovered for anâ€" other 10 years. A Danish naturalist, Johannes Schmidt, found one of these creatures west of the Faroes. He followed the trail backwards, across the North Atlantic end, with infinite patience, traced them to their breeding ground. This piece of natural history was discovered only 30 years ago. It had for long been known that elvers ascended the rivers in Spring and that fullâ€"grown eels went down to the sea in Autumn. But it was beâ€" lieved that they bred there in deep water, not far from the coast. The immature eel was also well known, but it was classified as a separate fish and given a Latin name. Of course, the eel is not the only living thing which does acts necesâ€" sary for its survival of which it has had no experience. Insect life shows many examples of what looks to us to be reason and inherited knowledge. But the eel performs on a bigger stage, against a mightier backâ€" ground. In working out its destiny, it does not turn to a continent which lies close at hand, but travels for years to reach another in which its ancestors lived. The latest stati es show that ~if "@ll the lawyers. in the country were laid end to ‘end, about halft of them could be left there,~ a guidance to all. Whatever you call it, this force must exist. The young eels get there. There must be some motive which steers their small and delicate bodies across many thousand miles of ocean and delivers them to a goal which seem to be predeterâ€" mined. The only explanation (if it is an explanation and not merely words) is that instinct is not something which inheres in the individual, but something which is the possession of the race.

In the sixties came the _ "boneâ€" shaker," which gave propuls‘on to the front wheel as well as the back. rubber was not yet thought of for tires. Around about the late sevenâ€" ties the solid rubber tire was introâ€" duced. Next was the *high" bicycle with the huge wheel in front and the little one behind. Riders had to be constantly on the alert for ruts and stones which pitched them over the handlebars. It was for that reason perhaps that the next type, which is standard today, was known as the "safety." But the bicycle did not come into its own until about 1890 when an Irishman named Dunlop invented the pneumatic tire. From that date cycling boomed. ..
