R at t%, he y, Today 1 Have Been In A Hay Field ley is making hay these days and he is very busy for hay is perishable and time is precious, writes Rev. 3. G. Berry, M.A., B.D., in the Ottawa Journal. This hot July afternoon I have been in a hay field on the high ridge where the land begins to dip down to the banks of the Ottawa viver. I have seen the men at work, farmer and son, and extra man for the haying. The field lay in a soft warm haze but from the river there eame a slight breeze which te'mpo. ed the hot cloverâ€"laden air and which brought relief to the men, perspirâ€" ing under the burden of their steady labor. It is warm work, haying, but this has been such a good season. 1 have not seen such rich abundant elover with its sweet red brown flowâ€" er as I have seen in the fields here. In the hayfield the uneven rattle of the hayrake limbering along was the only sound andâ€"at intervals a word or two from the men. I knew that what was going on in this field was going on in a score of other fields all around. Haymaking leaves no time for any thought except the actual wors um hand but when the afternoon had run its course, when supper was over in the low cool summer kitchen, it was not hard to think of old days and to let memories deep down in the mind rise to the surface. Modern machinery had not come with its speed and its material gains yet with some lowering and loss of huâ€" man values and humanity. Perhaps the farmer does not trouble himself with thoughts of how things have changed. He knows that he has to keep up with the inevitable march of the times and fall into line with others. Yet something has been lost from the old haymaking. For there was more of a personal note and interest in it then. It was a craft which had been practiced from time immemorial and handed down with its secret and its skill, free from the demon of speed who drives so many people on in . our time. It was a work which was done with the thoroughness and pride of doing a thing well. No one who has had the rare pleasure of reading Hilaire Belloc‘s delightful essay "The Mowing of a Field" will fail to see these things. From the early morning when he awoke to think of the mowing, took a scythe from its nail, sharpened it and began to mow the grass while the dew was still on it, working on with a monotonous regularity unit] the swathes were raked into cochs, tall and steep to keep off the dew, and struggling blades were raked alâ€" so, till the whole field was a clean floor for the tedding and the carryâ€" ing of the hay next morning, there was a certain tradition and ritual about it all which centuries of hayâ€" making had fashioned. But then his whole hayfield was only two acres! Yet even on a larger scale hayâ€" making brought in, instead of one or two only, men and women and children. It was a more social and brighter business. We have a picture of it drawn by the novelsit Con stance Holme: "The brown hot faces of the men, the cotton frocks and bonnets of the girls, the roan horse piled to its shoulders with the hay, the figure topping the load, black in the golden ether below the sapâ€" phire blue. And then the fierceness went out of the sun, the splendor of the evening was beginning, full of long nights and lovely distances. The most perfect hours of country life were at hand." Something of this still survives in our fields today but times are changâ€" ing and we are changed with them. Let us hope that mechanization will not kill man and the finer qualities of his life. There seems to be considerable approval of the idea that the time has arrived when the death penalty should be inflicted, not in the comâ€" munity where the murder occurred, but at some central place in the proâ€" vinces, or at the penitentiaries, writes the Brantford Expositor. There is a good deal to be said for this view. If, after murderers are tried and condemned, they were transferred immediately to the peniâ€" tentiary there to await the time of execution, which could be carried out with as little publicity as possible, it would save a lot of turmoil and euriosity that invariably accompany hankings in small communities. Canadians are quite generally agreed that the death penalty for murder is necessary for the protecâ€" tion of society, and, if this is so, then 1t shou‘d be imposed in a manner that will disturb the public as little as poscible. Nearly 450 miles ‘i‘hw.’.r 'mum Every tarmgr in the Ottawa val Place of Execution of the Stalin from Moscow, fic, have been A test of 400 lbs. of Wendigo Gold Mines ore conducted by C. I.

Results of the test will be submitted to the comâ€" pany‘s engineers for approval. With in about 30 days it is proposed to start deepening the shaft from the present 500 foot level to 1,000 feet, with new levels to be established to that depth. The last goldbrick was valued at $5,744 and represents outâ€" put for first 10 days of July. This compares with the previous brick vaâ€" lued at about $4,700 and June producâ€" tion of around $10,000 sets a new high for the mine. An important gold discovery has been made in the Horwood Lake area, west of Porcupine, and according to Felix Roche, president of Matâ€"Aâ€"Lac Gold Mines (1936) Ltd., he has staked & group of claims on behalf of the company. Surface showings show conâ€" siderable gold and five samples taken gave assay returns up to $96.60 per ton in gold, A crew will be sent to the property immediately, to commence exploration. FINANCIAL McLellan Long Lac Gold Mines has uncovered a new break on the north group of claims in the Hutchison Lake area from which encouraging values are reported. The new discoyâ€" ery shows a width of 2 feet, and is highly mineralized and lines up with the Hutchison Lake strike. Diamond drilling on the southern group of 8 claims situateéd between Elmos Gold Mines and Magnet Consolidated in the Little Long Lac field, is progressâ€" ing, following delay due to the recent forest fires in the area. Governor Lehman designated last week as Safety Week. Thereup»n the perversity of things brought a sharp rise in automobile accidents in the city as compared with last year and after a gratifying qecline extending over many weeks. Howâ€" eve:, Governor Lehman is Governor of upâ€"State as well as New York City, and the upâ€"State record for last week was very good. Eternal vigilance is the watchword but we nay be permilted to hops that the jump in last week‘s figures in town was an isolated event. One peculiarity concerns the fatalities. As compared with last year the deaths for the whole week rose from 15 to 28, but for the weekâ€"end perâ€" iod there was a decline from 11 to 6 deaths. Last year threeâ€"fourths of all faâ€" talities for the week occurred in the last two days. This year only oneâ€" fourth occurred on the weekâ€"end. A week is too short for safe generalâ€" ization. But eternal vigilance is the watchword. Oddities in Statistics New York Times LASFSHESE Margaret Red Lake Mines annountâ€" es the completion of financing for the present development campaign. The property is situated in the Red Lake district and a shaft is down 226 feet with some drifting done on the two levels established.

Diamond drilling on the Lake Athâ€" abaska property of Athona Mines Ltd. is continving to give good results. Acâ€" cording to the latest reports 30 feet of core averaging $5.50 per ton in gold has been intersected. One 5 foot section returned a value of $5.15 per ton, while a 12â€"foot section yielded a value of $5. per ton. A programme of diamond drilling has been started on the Mayrand proâ€" perty under option to Dunlop Consolâ€" idated Mines located immediately adâ€" jacent to Lapa Cadillac Gold Mines on the south in Cadilliac Township, Quebec. Drilling is being carried out under the direction of Cameron Yule, who is in charge of operations for the company Gold output for June at Shawkey Gold Mining is reported at $35,959, according to officials, bringing total production since the mill started opâ€" eration in February to approximately $126,310. A high grade ore shoot is being opened on the 4th level east at the present time. This is apparentâ€" ly the downward extension of the high grade ore opened up on the third leâ€" To Improve the Grade Dairy Herd Continue to Use Pure â€" Bred Sire of Same Breed on Each Generation vel The grading up system of breedâ€" ing means the mating of one comâ€" mon or unimproved parent with a purebred. By continuing to use a purebred sire on each successive genâ€" eration thus produced, the herd soon comes to have great uniformity and a high economic value, but as breedâ€" ing stock they are worthless. With cattle, the first cross will make all the calves half bloods and thereafter, if superior bulls are used, the progress toward higher levels is certain. â€"Eventually, the unimproved blood practically disappears, but such animals can never be registered. If grades are bred to grades, no progress is made. The upward "pull" comes through the purebred sire only. No promising bull calf even from a highâ€" record grade cow should ever be reâ€" tained for use as a sire. He may look "right," but all improvement stops when he enters the service. Where marked improvement in a grade herd is shown by the firstâ€" cross daughters of a purebred bull, it is considered advisable for several reasons to breed him back to his own daughters. The failure to make a full and consistent use of sires of the same breed in grading is the most glaring mistake made by livestock farmers today. In dairy herds the temptation to use a bull of some fatâ€"test breed, on highâ€"grade cows of a low fatâ€"test breed, should be discouraged. Stick to the same breed of sire or dispose of the herd and make a new start. In producing cattle either for direct utility purposes or breeding stock, there is with possibly one exception no practical advantage in crossing distinct breeds. The fancy that deâ€" sirable but opposed characters can be easily made to blend by this method has been the undoing of many cattleâ€" men. Do not cross breeds. Strive to improve the breed already in hand. Glycerine is to be made from rice waste and broken rice in Italy.

W. H. Sutherland, editor and pubâ€" lisher of the Evening News, New Glasgow, N.S., in the heart of the coal mining district, says the London Free Press. Canadian editors who attended the last mecting of*®the Canadian Press held in Toronto early in May, will not soon forget Mr. Sutherland. There had been a lorg and at times rather acrimonious debate over the handling of the news of the Moose River disaster. There was considerâ€" able difference of opinion expressed as to what had taken place in the last brave 24â€"bhour fight to rescue the entombed men. Finally when everyone had had their say a gentleman, whom few knew, arose at the back. He explainâ€" ed in the broadest of Scotch that he was the publisher of the New Glasâ€" gow News, where most of the draeâ€" germen came from. He knew them all personally; they were all friends of his. He had talked with them since their return from Moose River. Then in simple, but eloquent languâ€" age, he told the story of what had actually taken place in that long fight. They felt they had done nothâ€" ing extraorslinary; it was all part of their daily task; they did not look on themselves as heroes,. When the speaker sat down there was not one of those present who was not touchâ€" ed by his recital. The debate closed. There was nothing more to say. The speaker was the late Mr. Sutherland. The miners have lost a good friend in the death of Mr. Sutherland. In his paper he always has been an adâ€" vocate of tye miner and the steel worker in any plans for improveâ€" ment of working and living condiâ€" tions. Defines $2 Word "Illaqueation" Pension Scheme For Employees WASHINGTON, â€" Secretary Iokes defined a $2 word â€" "illaqueation"â€" which he used in a speech. "Ain‘t you got no education?" playfully demanded in a memo those who questioned his usage. "I would swear by the bones of Noah Webster that if there is any such word it means ensnarement or entrapment. A dang good word, 1 calls it, especially if it stumped all you near Phi Beta Kappas." Noah Webster‘s big dictionary proves United States Secretary of Interior Ickes is right, though it says the word is "rare." Friend of Mimers Wrigley â€" Company â€" Contriâ€" butes Nearly $100,000 to Start Pension Plan. Over two hundred members of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. Limited of Canada join with 3,000 employees of the company in the United States in a pension plan recently announâ€" ced. The plan went into effect in Canada on July 1st, 1936. Under the plan the amount of pensions depends on the workers‘ wages and the length of service with the Wrigley Company. Wrigâ€" ley‘s have always been intersely interested in the welfare and securiâ€" ty of their employees and have always manifested this interest to the fullest extent. In order to credit employees who have been with the Compary for many years before the start of the plan, Wrigley‘s have made a cash contribution to the fund of , almost $100,000 to cover these years of previous service. Thus any employee who has been with the Wrigley Company for 25 years and whose salary is now $200 a month, wou‘!d have an automatic pension of $50.0G per month. R On the average, the Company and the employees pay into the fund an equal amount each month. The employees contribution amounts to about four cents on every dollar earned. The retirement age is set at 65 years. Life expectancy is estiâ€" mated at 12 years above ago 65. However in the event of death, or discontinuance in the employment of the Wrigley Company, or in the case of early retirement, employees may withdraw the funds which they have paid into the plans, plus interest compounded at 3% annually. Payâ€" ments and pensions are all based on a percentage of wage multiplied by the number of years with the Company. C\ doe As an example for employess long with the company, a man who has now been with Wrigley‘s for twentyâ€"five years, earning a salary of $200.00, would, if he continues with the Company for twenty more years, earn a pension of $110.00 per month. And if he lives out the normal expectancy of 12 years, he will have withdrawn a total of $15,â€" 840.00 although his contributions would amount to only $1,920.00. he 10 Every man is a hero in his own home until after the company leaves.

A national Swine Conâ€" ference had been convened in the previous year to consider the serious difficulties then being experienced in marketing Canadian bacon in Great Britain, the one major problem being the inferiority of Canadian bocon. The Conference appointed a permanâ€" ent committee, known as the Joint Stock Committee and the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture was requested to ©câ€" oblish and administer an indepenâ€" dent grading service. The Joint Swine Committee was apâ€" pointed to act in an advisory capadty‘ to the Dominion Department of Agriâ€" culture in the development of hog grading and other policies perulning} to the swine industry. It is composed of two representatives of the Dominâ€" ion Live Stock Branch, two of the‘ packing industry, one each for the Province of Quebec, the Western Live Stock Union, the Eastern Live Stock Union, and two from the Canâ€" adian Council of Agriculture. Cogniâ€" zant of the limitations of live grading and familiar with the grading systems in other countries, the Joint Swine Committee, writes L. W. Pearsall of the Live Stock Branch, Dominion Deâ€" partment of Agriculture in the latest issue of the C. S. T. A. Review, reâ€" commended to the Dopartment of Agâ€" riculture that experimental work be undertaken to determine whether a system of carcass, or rail grading would be practical and adaptable to conditions of marketing and slaughterâ€" ing of hogs in Canada. Following some preliminary work to establish tentative carcass grades, the Hog Grading Regulations were amended on March 17, 1934, to proâ€" vide carcass grading on a voluntary basis, so that experimental work as recommended could be commenced. Consequently, carcass grading on a voluntary basis, for purely experiâ€" mental purposes, was started in Petâ€" erboro, Ont., in July, 1934, and later in the year at Stratford. During that year 3,577 hogs were carcassâ€"graded, and the growth of the system may be gauged by the fact that in three months of 1936 the number of hogs graded was 57,007. â€"Magistrate Burbidge of Hamilton has something to say about granting driving permits to people who were suffering from physical handicaps. Cne driver was to have appeared beâ€" fore him to answer to criminal negliâ€" gence in operating his car, but the information obtained was that the accused could not appear in court on account of his physical condition. The driver is a 70 per cent. war disability case. The Dominion Department of Agriâ€" culture having assumed the responsiâ€" bility of providing as impartial and adequate grading service, as a basis of trading between producer and the packer, has endeavoured with the adâ€" vice of the Joint Swine Committee to make available a method of grading that experience in other countries inâ€" dicates to be efficient and equitable. The necessity for further improveâ€" ment in the quality of commercial hogs is obvious. The Hamilton magistrate says an individual in that condition should not be driving a car, and the magisâ€" trate is right. Me says a permit to drive should not be issued to him and Medical testimony â€" showed this driver has a heart condition, chronic bronchitis, nervous disability and other ailments. Me has been under treatment at Byron Hospital and left against doctor‘s orders. again he is right. It would be no hardship to tell a person in that conâ€" dition he should not drive. In the end it would be kindness. A church with a wooden Lower, 8 duck pond, a village inn, a smithy and a few scattered cottages, all of which constitute a village, have surâ€" rendered to the demands of modern days. Totteridge a pretty Hertfordâ€" shire vil,age, is to be developed in the form of a housing estate, but every effort is being made not to break the spell of the oldâ€"world charm and historic associations.

Unfortunately for the comâ€" pany, the crops refused to ripen and the farmers took their case to court, Here it was adjudged that the elecâ€" tric sign kept the rice awake, and the cultivators were awarded adeâ€" quate compensation.
