I ICELANDERS DEMAND LONG RUBBER BOOTS ' Icelamdfiic fishermen, who for cen- turies have worn a traditional kind 30f heavy leather boot, often fitted with a.» thick wooden sole, are taking to the rubber boot of Canadian origin states the Industrial Department of the Canadian National Railways. Early attempts to introduce boots for fishermen met with considerable op- position, because of a certain super- stition in favor of the traditional foot wear. The rubber boot, most in de- mandi, ‘is of knee height, to which the [celander adds a hip top made by himself from red rubber imported in rolls and cut to suitable shape. ‘ We must prepare ourselves for con- stant chnage. Otherwise we’ll‘ be pushed aside to become mere spec- tators instead of actors in the great game of life. gar A MAGIC LAKE nourishing sweet for the whole family TEMPERANCEVILLE Mrs. H. ,Casefy and Stanley visited Mrs. C.

STRANGE HOSPITAL FOR SICK PLANTS (At Au's’cralia’s Federal Capital, Canberra, there exists a remarkable hospital for the treatment of sick plants. Complete with operating theatre, surgical and medical Ward's, isolation blocks, etc., it has been de- signed 'to save the country hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, states an official of the Canadian National Steamships. The “wards” are glass houses screened against summler sun and warmed against the Winter frosts. In one, lie the incurany anaemic plants. At night, they need the help of a huge electric lamp of many hunâ€" dreds of candle power. Their wasted cells cannot absorb sufficient nour- ishment during the daylight hours. Through the glass walls of the} “ward” next door can be studied ex-g actly the progress of disease upon; the leaves and even roots of a num-‘ ber of infected plants1 in enormous: tubes. Next door, again, are cereals growing in beds equipped with a com-5 plex system of warmers to adjust thex ground temperature. In the operating theatre, stems, buds and seeds are dissected to as- certain why fruit refuses to set, why it. is small and deformed, or why crops are light. In the dieticians depart- ment the effects of fertilizer are» noted In; the bacteriological laboratories cultures are growing of the germs which attack plants. Even the con- sequence of late autumns, mild win- ters and early springs upon the yield of fields and orchards are the subject of continuous intensive study.

More value may be obtained from an acre of it than from the same area devoted to many other crops. Seed sowing- should be done early in March and the plants grown in flats of thumb pots and lates put in four inch pots. Hardening off before plant- ing in the field is very Importamt. This will make the plants frost hardy. As soon as the plants show signs of growth in- the open field', apply a. side dressian of nitrate of soda. Cuts Hog Costs While hogs have been climbing to the best price reached since 1931, Clark Young of Milliken, Ontario, has been busy establishing a. World’s rec- ord for cheap production. He reports a. hundred pounds gain for every 281‘ pounds of feed used, which is eight pounds better than the record of the Indian State College previous holder of the record. Authorities at the Ontario Agricultural College consider one pound of pork gain for every four and one half pounds of feed de- cidledly above the average. Mr. Young gives his totaLcost per hun- dred pounds of pork for the entire six months feeding period as $4.78 which represents more than $13.00 net profit per 200 pound hog at pres- ent prices. Not only have Mr. Young’s hogs been fed cheaply and. quickly (they Were marketed at six months) but the quality according to the grad- ing at Toronto and the bacon reports from Great Britain, where the pork was marketed, has been the best. Mr. ‘Young figures hi costs from weanâ€" ling to six month as follows: 2,050 ipounds of mixed home grown grain, 4.00 pounds of shorts, 1,650 pounds of special concentrated feed, total cost I$69.57 for one lot of eight hogs. Hatching by Incubator Before using the incubator check it for leaks and breakage and test the thermometers. Place the machine in a well ventilated room or cellar which is kept at a uniform temperature. The eggs used should be of normal shape and appearance and at least 24 ounces to the dozen. Control the moisture according to the appearance of the eggs after they are set. On the seventh-day test the air cell should be about one eights the size of the egg and on the eighteenth day about one quarter. The eggs should be turned twice a day. Test l g The sudden loss of comparatively large amounts of blood causes one form of anaemia. Other anaemias .which occur are due, not to loss of blood, but to changes in the blood]. 'Millions of red blood cells carry oxy- lgen to the tissues. The average lifel of a red blod cell is‘amonth. The body} machinery is able to replace red blood: cells at this rate. The-reds a. reserve of red cells in the spleen and bone marrow sufficient to meet any sudden‘ or unusual demand. If, however, the extra demand continues, the reserve is soon exhausted and the machinery for making new cells is unable to meet the demand, with the result that there is a deficiency in the quality or quantity, or both. Chlorosis is a type of anaemia which occurs in young women. There is no reduction in the number of red‘ :blood cells, but there is a change in the haemoglobin, with the result that the complexion takes on a. yellow- ~ green tinge, hence its popular name, “green sickness." This condition, :which used to be common7 is now comparatively rare in this country. The cause is unknown. It is readily cured by the administration of iron properly prescribed. l . I l ANAEMIA , Did you ever Wonder why a person who has had a. haemorrhage com-- plains of thirst? One important function of the hlood is to supply fluid to the tissues of the body. Af- ter a haemorrhage, the blood is dim- inished in volume, and flued is with- drawn from the tissues to make up this deficiency. The tissues are thus deprived of fluids, so the patient com- plains of thirst. GRANT FLEMING.

Duncan livestock investigator, Ontario Marketing Board, “is very definitely helping himself.” “The liquidation of unfinished cattle will meet a poor sale, under present conditions. This is due largely to the fact that packers have such huge quantifies in storage. On the other hand Ontario has consider- ably Iess cattle feeding than normal consumption demands. “The rise in hog prices will reflect; itself on cattle prices, and finishing cattle properly will repay the feeder, and‘ reduce this excess storage of beef. “The result of marketing unfinish- ed cattle at present will be an inâ€" crease in the storage supply. Finâ€" ther than this, feedere will find them-â€" selves with no cattle to ship when prices advance. “In my opinion, the WiSe shipper will feed to finish his stock, and dis- tribute the Supply over the next few months.” for mgr joints are what the cook calls for whether for the home table or the restaurant. The tastes of the con- sumer have been cultivated to dis- criminate in favour of the tasty, ten- der, lamb until we find that from 70 to 80 per cent of the sheep that reach the market are less than one year old.
