It is not suggested that every little ache or pain is the sign of some serious disorder. It is pointed Out, however, that instead of worrying about symptoms, you find out why they are occurring. Better still, have a periodic health examination and be assured of the health of your body. ‘The real objection to selfâ€"diagnosis and self-weatment is that we are unable to examine ourselves. Even a physician who is trained and ex- perienced in the science and art of medicine does not attempt to treat himself. Any attempt at self- diagnosis and self-treatment may re- sult in harm, but much more serious is the time that is lost during which proper treatment would have been of the greatest service. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation. 184 College Street, Toronto. will be answered personally by letter. It is quite true that if a. symptom, such as an acute pain, is distressing, you want to get relief from the symptom. Nevertheless, you should realize that any such treatment is purely temporary and inadequate be- cause if the underlying cause of the symptom is not sought, the symptom will likely recur, and the condition will become more firmly rooted, if not more serious, and so, likely, more difficult to deal with later on. IS e e d C rain The proper way to deal with a symptom is not to try and get rid of the symptom, but to investigate and find its cause. Proper treat- ment aims always to remove or cor- rect the cause, otherwise the real trouble is not touched. Before such treatment can be given, it is obvious that the cause must be discovered, or, in other words, that a diagnosis must be made. That is Why we say that a diagnosis must precede treatment. “Symptom” is the name given to any abnormal sensation or sign which occured when the body is __not function ing properly, or when disease is pres- ent. Symptoms are warnings, and when they appear, something should be done about them. How Are You? is a frequent salu- tation, expressed in the form of question to which an answer is not usually expected. This time, how- ever, we hope that you will ask your- self the question: Do you feel really well? or ‘Do you feel below par? Are you tired? or Do you feel fit for anything? What is the use of answering these questions? No use at all, unless you realize that your answers are of im- portance to you. If you are tired, if you suffer from indigestion or re- peated headaches, or if yon feel life is a burden and you have lost the feeling that life is worth livingâ€"if you show these or other indications of a loss of health, then there is some thing wrong, something which should receive your attention.

To most healthy women, the meno- pause means nothing in the way of physical or mental distress. The normal, healthy woman is able to meet added or unusual phySical or mental strains Without any ill effects. The menopause is a normal event fol- lowing upon certain changes in the reproductive life of the woman. Every woman should know that any reappearance of the periods or the evidence of any discharge, no matter how slight, at that time of life, should never be lightly treated. Can- cer of the uterus is one of the most common forms of cancer. A vaginal discharge, or a return of the periods after the menopause is so suggestive of the possibility of cancer of the uterus that such warnings should‘ never be disregarded. Each period of life presents its own peculiar problems which are best met by proper preparation in the preceding periods. If the ill results were not serious, We might be amused by the almost universal tendency there seems to be to blame anything which happens to a woman over thirty on the menopause, or “change of life.” Women have heard so much about this event, that they fully ex- pect to experience something unusual when they pass through what is com- monly described as “the critical per- iod of a woman’s life.” l The most critical period in develop- ‘ment is the period of life which we call the pre_school age. Before the child enters school, his future is large. ly determined. By the time school age is reached, certain patterns of behaviour have been established which have much to do with the child’s capacity to adjust himself satisfactorily to the world in which he will have to live and to the prob- lems which he will meet throughout his life. The individual is the product of his heredity and his environment. Opin- ion differs as to the relative import- ance of these two factors. No one denies the value of a good heredity, but what becomes of the individual depends not upon his heredity, but upon how the Qualities with which he is born are developed. In other words, environment determines what becomes of the individual’s inherited qualities, and environment includes all persons and things with which he comes into contact. We cannot con- trol heredity; we can control or modi< fy environment. The earliest years of life are the most critical, both as regards life itself and the development of a rug- ged individual, healthy in mind and in body. One out of every six deaths occurring in Canada is that of an in- fant less than one year old. Obvious- ly, the first year of life is the most critical of all years, judged from the point of View of survival. OF THE Ed’ntcd‘by CRITICAL PERIODS Callerâ€"I’m a bill collector, madam.

It arises from another errorâ€"that of considering Barbados as a group of islands, whereas it is but a. single island. The name “Barbados” is singular, and it is quite wrong to refer to “the Barbadoes,” Mr. Glass says. Proud of their island, so often call- ed “Littlé England,” the people of the British colony, Barbados, in the West Indies, have protested once more against the mis-spelling of the colony’s name. There is a strong temptation to spell it “Barbadoes,” though the “e” has no place in the proper spelling. The executive will consist of one representative of each team and the officers will be elected from the ex- ecutive. A meeting is being- held this week when the officers of the league will be elected and further ar- rangements made. It is expected that the games will start early in May. This league will be known as the North- Yonge Churches Softball League. The Boys Club meets every Tues- day evening in the Sunday School Room of the United Church and the attendance has been very gratifying.

Rama: & Son Seed Grain Crops Early The importance of early seeding cannot be stressed too strongly. An experiment carried on for 10 years at the Central Experimental Farm, shows that wheat, oats, barley and peas seeded as soon as the land is ready to work give higher yields than when sown at later dates. The aver- age increase of grain sown early over that sown two weeks later was 14 bushels for barley, 18 bushels for wheat and 4 bushels for oats. The flowering clusters of lilacs should be removed soon after flower- ing, and- usually little thinning of branches is necessary. Late-flowering shrubs such as the Japanese hydran- gea are pruned in the spring, thin- ning out some of the branches if strong growth has been made, and leaving about one-half of the growth cut back to strong buds. This, like all late-flowering shrubs, produces bloom on the current season’s growth and the fewer the shoots the larger are the trusses of bloom produced. The retinosporas and cedars should be allowed to assume their natural habit of growth, and pruning or thinning, or shaping of the plants by clipping are not desirable unless a hedge is being formed. The natural form of the different varieties is much more pleasing than any form The early-flowering shrubs are pruned soon after they are through flowering, for the purpose of keeping them to the size desired, and in a natural bush form, with branches to the ground. This is to be preferred to an individual or group with the lower branches more or less sparse, and a heavy top growth. The prun- ing of these shrubs consists of thin- ning out and removing some of the old- er wood, thus giving the sprout growth which has started or will start up from along or at the base of these branches, a chance to get air and light and form new, vigorous, flower- ing shoots for another year. It is necessary that this pruning be done gradually, a little each year, and in such a manner that the natural fea- tures of the growth in the specimen or group be not spoilt. If the thin- ning of the growth is delayed until the specimens become filled with old wood it will be found that the start- ing up of new growth at the base of the older wood is much more difficult than it would be on younger growth. The removal of full branches right to the ground is often possible, and in fact it is necessary in old specimens required to be reduced in size or height. Cutting off the top of the branches is usually not satisfactory, and gives an unnatural or trimmed look. The thinning out of certain branches each year will enable a gradual reduction of the shrub to be made, without destroying its charac- ter. it -is possible to develop by clipping the growth. The maple and the elm are tw0 of our most important shade trees. It too often happens that the pruning of these trees, to develop well.bal- anced specimens, isneglected. If allowed to go too long it is about im- possible to remedy this defect. With these trees, the aim should be to de- PRUNING ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS With the pyramidal poplar, the branches should start at the ground and any pruning of these lower branches is not advisable and mater- ially lessens the ornamental value of the tree. The same holds true with conifers, none of which are improved by pruning, and on all of which the branches should be preserved right to the ground, as any branches once removed cannot be replaced by others It is necessary, therefore, that care be given not to injure the lower branch- es of such trees when young. velop a central leader, without hav- ing two branches starting at one point to form a crotch. The per- manent branches sho\uld start at not less than eight feet from the ground. Feather branches on the elm may not be an objection, but there is a decided advantage in having a clear trunk free from large branches. This condition is easily produced when the tree is young, and developing its first upright growth, but later it may be very difficult to remove the offend- ing branches and preserve a fairly evenly balanced tree. Two branches allowed to start at the same point will later give a weak tree, which may split when at its best; and to remove one of the branches after considerable growth has been made will throw the tree greatly out of balance, so that it may reqire years to get it into shape again. Try to preserve a central leader, with branches starting out at fairly regu- lar intervals and at a reasonable dis- tance from the ground. Farmers Should Use Timothy Seed Production Domestic production of timothy seed in Canada is still far short of consumption, so that still further pro- duction of this crop may be encour- aged. Timothy ordinarily yields mm 200 to 300 pounds of seed per acre, and growers have received on an average about 6% cents per pound for the seed basis No. 1 grade, over the past three years. Canada uses annually about 10 million pounds of timothy seed and until 1981 some 9 Canadian Asparagus Outlet Canadian growers of asparagus with suitable production conditions and conveniently situated for delivery may well study the possibilities of this crop, for some of the Canadian canners have found Canadian aspara- gus to be much superior to the Cali- fornia product. Consequently there has been a very satisfactory demand which has resulted in plans to expand output to a considerable extent. Al- though the acreage and yield of as- paragus in Canada is relatively small the latest figures show an increasing acreage during the past three years in Quebec, Ontario and British Co- lumbia, while at the same time the output of canned asparagus shows considerable expansion. There is also an increasing export market. The yield of some 1,000 acres in Ontario is from 1,800 to 3,000 pounds per acre, approximately about two-thirds of the yield being sold ordinarily to canners at 8 to 11 cents a pound. The Codling Moth has Not Been Wiped Out Reports have been published re~ cently to the effect that in Ontario apple orchards the codling motn “as eradicated or reduced to insignificant numbers by the low winter tempera~ tures. This is far from being the case in the Niagara district. An ex- amination of overwintering cater- pillars (786) made in a Vineland orch4 ard this week indicates that codling moth mortality is only in the neigh- borhood of 20 per cent. In other parts of the province where much colder temperatures were experienced, the mortality will run much higher, but we feel reasonably certain that in. all Ontario apple orchards sufficient larvae will have survived in Sheltered spots to necessitate the application of the sprays outlined in the Ontario spray calendar. Crop Improvement Evidence Evidence of crop improvement that has resulted from the production and general use of registered and certi- fied seed of wheat over a period of thirty years in Canada may be ob- Current Crop Report Reports received from the Agricul- tural Representatives would indicate that the condition of fall wheat in Ontario is still in doubt. Certain sections report that the crop is green- ing up but a great many of the roots are weakened, and unless the weather is favourable, a considerable area will have to be cultivated and resown to spring crops. Farmers who are deâ€" pendent on 1932 seedlings for their hay crop will be obliged to rely on annual hay crops. At auction sales prices are considerably improved over last year, especially prices paid for horses. Maple syrup will apparently be a light run as the reports from practically all the maple syrup dis- tricts show a decrease in production. served in the relatively high yield per acre of the crop as a Whole and in the sustained high quality for milling purposes, as reflected in the premiums generally received for Canadian wheat in the principal export markets. With other cereal grains, the results are very much in evidence in those areas where oats, barley or other kinds cf grain predominate. In those areas in which coarse grains form the main cash crop, the crop as a whole is traceable as a rule within a few years to pure variety seed stock. It is from those areas that the best and most uniform quality grain for com- merce is derived. Bury Corn Stubble Any corn grower this spring can do a great deal to save himself a lot of unnecessary handpicking of corn stubble if he will use care and fore- thought in his method of dealing with his corn field,” states L. Caesar, Pro- vincial Entomologist. “If he plows the field carelessly and does not bury the stubble well he is sure to drag it up in'working the soil, and so will have a lot of handpicking. Also, if he uses a toothed cultivator instead of a disc he will drag up a lot of stubble. In every county there are many men who deal with their fields in such a way that they rarely have to do any hand-picking. What one man can do another can often do as well, or nearly as well. So it is hoped that every one will try to exercise the necessary care this spring, and so save himself a lot of trouble in comply ing with the act.” NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER THURSDAY, APRIL 26th, 1934 The above are all in excellent con- dition.

Faith, Director of Extension, for the Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada, who was the guest speak- ei’ at the annual spring meeting of the Perth County Holstein Breeders’ Club held at Stratford, said that blood testing for the control of Bang’s Dis- ease has been making remarkably good progress in many parts of the province of Ontario since the work was first taken on by the breeders in a serious minded way more than a year ago, and he predicted that before long every large breeding area, would be engaged in it. Already nearly two hundred herds had been found lully negative under the Federal policy, while a much larger number were under process of being cleaned up. The view was expressed by Mr. Faith that the day was not far dis- tant, when breeders whose herds were not under test, would find it more difficult than happens to be the case at the present time, to obtain markets at profitable prices for surplus cattle which had to be sold, whereas those herds free of the disease would occupy a most favorable position in being able to capitalize on their achieve- ment.
