The next thing we have to worry •bout is getting it threshed. I wish that little job were already done. What a. busy time this is, what with die harvest work going on outside •nd canning and processing going 00 inside â€" and of course the exces- •Ive heat we get every few days •eems to be the order of the day. W« had one very heavy storm last week with some hail but not enough lo do any real damage. • «. • Sandwiched in between other jobs Pccly and I picked and canned rasp- berries, cherries and beans. I ex- perimented with the beans â€" which were later taken to the locker. Some were scalded, chilled and packed in % two percent brine. Others were - OMrely cut and packed in cartons without any liquid. This was after 1 had been told that experiments ^•d been conducted a'; the O.A.C. â- long these lines and it was agreed Ihat the only advantage to the (Ceding and brine-packing method waa that the beans retained a more attractive colouring. Well, the proof â- I the beans will be in the eating, regardless of colour. * » » Yes, we have certainly been busy, Cicely and I â€" but still we managed k> find time to have a little fun with Whisky and her kittens. The kit- tens, by the way, have presented us with a striking example oi what happens when a mother does not t III â- â-  iiMr complex to her off- •pring. Canines and felines are suppusLdly natural born e-nemies. Tippy, and Whisky and her kittens, liave exploded that idea. The first Ifane the kittens left their box and began exploring the woods-hed Tippy-dog was there as an interested â- pcctator. Mother Whisky sat on die steps watching her babies on this their first adventure into the â- nknown. Tippy stood near her, also watching â€" ears cocked and a giystified expression on his face as K wondering what these queer little tfiings were that were wabbling in â- nd out around his legs. He fol- bwed their every movement, smell- ad them curiously but made abso- brtely no attempt to touch or molest them. Whisky, proud that Tippy ibould deign to to notice her of!- â- pring, purred contentedly and rub- bed herself ingratiatingly against Vm. Naturally, since Tippy and Whisky are such friends. Whisky did not transmit any fear of him " k> the kittens. So the kittens felt •o enimity towards Tippy because he was a dog and to there were no arched backs, or spitting or swear- fcig from any of them. ♦ • » Now for quite a different topic. Qcely was showing me some of the dothes she had brought with her â€" ' and I was surprised to find how pood they were and how many she kad been able to accumulate. That la in the way of dresses, coats and nch like. But then we came to ^jamas â€" "These would really take I prize," she explained, "you see k takes so many coupons for every- thing we have to buy that we can't ifford to use them on things that lon't show!" So this is what her pyjamas are Ike ... she doesn't mind my tell- hg you. One pair has legs made af ordinary factory cotton, with a (acket fashioned from an old shirt- waist blouse of a blue check ma- larial. The next pair has legs made trom an old pair of casement cur- lains dyed old rose while the jacket has been fashioned from an old silk • blouse also dyed rose. They were both very respectable and decidely faigenious except that in the dying ^ocess the silk and cotton had come ODt in different shades of pink! One pair has a finishing touch which I though was particularly British â€" as a joke someone had em- kroidcred Cicely's initials on the breastpocket of the makishif jacket. Farm Magic Two boys were visiting a farm lor the first time. Supper was pass- id up in order to watch the cows E:t milked and the calves fed. Dur- g the late meal, the sevenyear-old Kclaimcd. "I don't see how they let so many pailfuls from that little iquirt." Then the fivt'-year-old said, •They put it through the grinder (separator) and then throw it back lo the cows." The final remark was, 1 doil't sec how they get white milk when they cat green grass."

Robert came home from school and told his mother that the teacher had put him in the corner because h« talked too mucli "But," he add- •d, "I didn't stay there long because Aey needed the corner." This is the season when aome oi the most "pestiferous" weeds go to seed â€" and those that you allow to do so cause just that much more work for you next year. Xumber One Enemy of most lawns is crab grass â€" and it, es- pecially should not be allowed to seed. In most cases pulling it out by hand, or with a wire rake, is not too big a chore; and since crab grass will not flourish in shade, keeping your lawn grass about 2]i to 3 inches high will tend to discourage its growth. « * « Speaking of rakes, here's a little tip whicli might be useful to some of you. If you have one of those bamboo rakes, and the tips have be- come badly worn down, this is ill you have to do in order to bring it back to usefulness. Just dip the tips into really hot water for a few minutes â€" or until the fibres become soft â€" then bend into the proper shape with a pair of pliers. * * * It's much easier to protect your grapes from birds and other "thieves" than it is cherries and other fruits. A small cellophane or paper bag, slipped over each bunch and then tied around the stem, will do the job and guard the fruit well. The bags may be put in place any time after the grapes are pea-size. * • • Either for planting or for moving your tall bearded iris, this is the best time of year. By setting them in the ground now you give the plants almost a year in which to anchor their roots firmly, and otherwise make themselves comfortable before blooming time corrtes around again next summer. Transplanting iris â- '- a fairly easy job as there is little fear of them wilting, even in hot weather. But just how deep the roots should be placed is a matter over which tber* la considerable argument Some expert* claim that it ia best for the thick, bulblike part of the iris to be barely covered with soiL But others maintain just as itrongly that the iris benefita by exposure to sun and air, and that the "bulb" should be halfway out of the ground. Whichever method you adopt, your iris will be all the better if you give the soil thorough preparation before planting or moving them. A foot is not too deep to dig and a trowelful of bone meal for each plant not too much in the matter of fertilizer. This should be thorougnly mixed with the soil â€" and if you happen to have any wood ashes handy, another trowelful of these will improve the next year's bloom. Holding the "bulb" â€" the actual name is rhiiiome â€" just about at the surface of the ground, you then spread out the fibrous roots that extend from it in the planting hole. Fill in the eorichened soil, then tamp down firmly. And don't forget that tha plants, ouce they are in plmc< should be thoroughly watered. If you are moving old iris plant% they will require dividing. Th(k central rhizome, with few if leaves attached, might just as we be discarded. The other piecti should be cut with a sharp kniie-^ you'll easily find joints in the rhi- zome, and make your cuts along them. As a rule there are so man]r divisions from a single clump that you can toss away many of them, choosing for planting pieces that have big, healthy fans or leaves, and large, solid rhizomes. • « • "Probably there is no feeling in the human mind stronger than th« love of gardening, and at all timet and in all ages gardens have been, among the objects oi the greatest interest to mankind." Cashew and pistachio nuts belong ' to the same family group of plants as poison ivy. SELL BY MAIL «O.UOII-W(IBD BOOK SHdHS WH.VT. WHEUE. HUEN ANO HOW OF MAIL ORDER BISINESS. GET IT! RE.\0 IT!
