There's Really No nl Cure For Golf \ A recent news story stated that the wife of a well known golf pro- fessional was suing for divorce be- cause the game took him away from home so much. : Commenting on the story, one daily suggests that it would be un- fortunate to let golf break up an otherwise happy marriage; and it presents what it considers a way to cure the golf addict of his obsession, It is for the wife to go out to play with her husband--and"to make a nuisance of herself by humming a little tune when he is preparing to make a shot, systematically topping .or slicing her ball, losing it in the rough and in every possible way re- laying him on the round until in sheer disgust he will quit the game. In the alternative, if he refuses to play with her, the suggestion is that she organize a foursome with some of her non-playing friends, start out just ahead of his party and refuse to let them through, * Well, that might work with some unfortunate henpecked apology for a man; but our own notion is that it would work with reverse English, For unless it is caught in the very earliest stage there is no cure for golf. Any woman who tried that sort of obstruction would, we fear, ~*" soon find herself excessively disliked by her "worser half". He would _--" hardly resort to violence; but he would take refuge in guile and de- ception. As soon as he 'got wise" to her little scheme he would sneak his clubs out of the house and hie him away to another course where he could be reasonably sure of not: being followed. And, being denied the pleasure of telling friend wife all about the wonderful drive he got at the 10th and his marvellous re. covery from the bunker at the 15th and all the rest of it--talking about it is half the fan of golf--he would develop an ingrowing grouch which would be more than liable to break up the happy home. But could a woman carry a scheme like that through? We doubt it. If she had any pep at all she would not be satisfied to be a hope- less dub; she would catch the fever and work her hardest to improve her game, so that hubby would not mind playing with her.

(By Rusticus, in the Stratford Beacon-Herald.) Horses like men, get old. No one would expect an old man to be able to keep up his end of the day's work as casily as a young man. Nor ean we expect an old horse to pull the plow up and down the field with quite the speed and keenness of a five-year-old. Just as age creeps upon a man and weakens him long ere he is quite ready to admit that he is getting old, so age comes to our horses while we still think there should be a few good years left in them: + During the winter one of the older horses on the farm came to the end of the numbér of days that were al- lotted to him. Two more of the farm horses are getting to be very near the same age, and a day's work tells on them to a far greater extent than it does on the younger animals, At best it will be only a few more years till they, too will have reached the end of their period of labor. On farms where no colts are raised the death of .one horse usually means the purchase of another and younger one to take his place, Reasonably sound and typy horses are in good demand and good prices are realized on this class of stock. In theory at least it should-be a good policy to raise a few colts to replace the worn out animals, In fact, if colts are regularly raised there ought to be a horse to sell every year or so, and none of the animals need be kept un- til old age weakens and finally kills them, * * » Now mind, that is all theory.

KENNEDY & MENTON 421 College St., Toronto Raising Colts Is No Cinch As Luck Plays A Big Part days of colthood. Raising a colt, as we understand it, is a very different matter from raising a calf. The birth of a foal is a real event on farms where they are raised. Per- haps that is because farmers are more attached to their horses than to any other class of stock they keep. This spring it was necessary for us to buy another horse. Realizing that in a few more years other horses must be replaced, we decided to find out if raising our own work horses would work out in actual practice as in-foal mare was therefore purchas- ed and a week or ten days ago, she presented us with what promises to be a fairly good colt. This youngster is the first foal to be born on this farm in the last 30 years. Normally the foal should grow and in two or three years become a valy- able work horse. That is according to theory, but theory doesn't take into consideration the diseases and accidents that may be visited upon a farm horse of the youngest genera- tion. . Today though she is a play- some colt, that shares the box stall with her mother or gallops round while the mare is out on grass a few hours' each day, up to date the ex- periment is 100 per cent successful, * * LJ When you buy a horse you can al- ways ask the previous owner what he calls it, for a horse must have a name. With the foal you raise one has the privilege of picking a name. Now a horse does not want a big family name, Something short and easy to say is far more appropriate, Some horses are inclined to be a bit lazy at times and the driver may feel inclined to give them a yell, At such times a short name like "Mike," "Bill" or "Tom" comes in very nice. If the teamster is inclined to do a of "cussing" should one of the plow steam step over the traces, he does Not want to 'be bothered with a "sissified" name, So here we are right up against a brand new experiment, as far as this farm is concerned, and since wo bought that brood mare we have re- Issue No. 26--'37 C--1 attractively as it does in theory, An deh advice about rafsing ¢ity man starting out @ general opinion seems re is a good deal of luck ed 10 the business, Everyone réises the opinion, that it pays to ; "providing you have In the next year or two we to find out if we have any k" in raising our own work horses, Weird Collection Shipped to C.N.E. Zoo There is now being assembled in Georgetown, Demerara, South Amer- ica, a large consignment of strange animals and birds for the children's zoo at the Canadian National Exhi- bition. Native hunters and trappers have been engaged for months in the rounding up of the collection. It will clude giant ant-eaters, jaguars, tapirs, many specimens of gaily plu- maged birds and a wide variety of reptiles, A feature of the collection that promises to "steal the show" as far as the children are concerned is a shipment of tiny marmosets, smallest of the monkey family. The cousign- ment comes in compliance with the request of William Charles, Canad'an representative of Booker Bros. & Me- Connell, Limited, of aeorgetown.

The purified insulin is dissolved and sterilized in a gold-plated filter which prevents a metallic contamination, |--The potency of the insulin solution is measured by the reactions of rab- bits and mice inoculated with ijt. Still more tests follow and the n- sulin is passed upon by a committee where the tests are dupl'cated. Bulk insulin is diluted to the desired strength and the solution is again filtered and assayed. It is then filled into hard glass vials, tested for steril- ity once more and is finally ready for distribution. The Skunk as a Pet «+. And the skunk, whatever his virtues, is not just the kind of a pet one would like to have running around the garden, He is reputed, among other things, to be a great raider of chicken-coops. It is with his bad habits, not his virtues, that we have unfortunately become familiar in this province, At the last session of the Legislature there was a somewhat heated debate as to whether the Minister of Agri- culture was not being "gypped" in paying the provincial bounty on skunk snouts bootlegged in from the other provinces, This was a question affecting sole- ly the value received from the money expended. Nobody suggested that the bounty should be abolished for the skunk's benefit, -- Charlottetown Guardian.

Barred Rock I's Setting Record | Maine Hen Lays 208 E-gs in Seven Months NEW YORK. -- The glare of the spotlight obscures all things outside its range, and J. A. Hanson's White Leghorns have fixed the attention of the poultry world 'on the central New York laying contest this season, with: = i A the ten birds showing a score of 1, 902 eggs In seven months; yet the poultry press is headlining a single Barred Plymouth Rock hen this month, because she has moved se- dately, like any Plymouth Rock, to the top line of the individual scores for all the official national tests in Ameri. ca. - This history-making Plymouth Rock in the Maine State contest, very pro-- perly hails from Massachusetts and belongs to the famous Weber Duck Farm at Wrentham, familiar to thous- ands of motor tourists.

I. Red hen in the Connecticut test, but in April she forged ahead, and got the lead; and 'way out in Texas a White Leghorn hen slipped past the Red hen by 85-100 of a point. The Texas Leghorn's score is now 208 eggs, 221.85 points, and the Red hen running third has 202 eggs, 221 points. The seventh-month review of all the contestants shows the ten highest-scoring individuals, by breeds in the following order: Barred Rock in Maine, White Leghorn in Texas; R. T Red in Connecticut, Leghorn in western New York, New Hampshire Red in Maine, R. I. Red in New York, two Leghorns in central New York, R. I.

' No Legal Marria~e A Princeton etymologist has ar'sen to supply the word "ain't" with a pedigree and so restore it to the ranks of linguistic respectability -- {--thé¥eby carning (2long with a bit of publicity) the gratitude of all »hase vouthful tongues once struggled be- tween the parental frown and' the "demands of easy and natural ex- pression. At the cost of how much suffering did most of us learn to say "Am I not a good boy?" and to how many does it sound naturally upon the tongue even now? But "ain't", we are informed, "is not necessarily illiterate," and at worst is no more than loquial, "like "shan't," which to many an ear is almost a nice nellyism. "Ain't" is rescued from its low "estate by tracing it back to fog honest erandparents. "Am not" and "is. not" produced "ain't"; at tho same time "have not" and 'has not" produced "hasn't" (or "hain't"), and it was:by the union of the two chil- dren that the contemporary "ain't" was born. Thus, provided one accepts the en- mar- legiti- "Ure legality of these several riages, "ain't" becomes the . mate inheritor of all varieties of its modern vulzar usage. Not only may one say "Ain't T doing well?" Une may continue: "Ain't it the tuth? I ain't seen anything to the: contrary, and he ain't ¢'ther," without straying - beyond the bounds of the collokuial - at worst.
