Making Use of Spare Time

so far as labour requirements are concerned, this is probably one of the slacker seasons on many Prince Edward Island fur-ins Most farm operators have about a half- diiy of farm chores, but it is also important to moire good use of rho other time nvailxible.

This may be ii good time to make plans for the coming year.

This is a dandy time to get to the woods and cut the fuel for next year. and also any logs that mny on required for lumber. In cutting of irnes for firewood the woods- mnn has an excellent opportunity in go over his woodlot and clean up many poorer type trees. These may include windfalls dead trees. l)T0l(0i'l trees, crooked trees. crowd- iig trees. niid others.

C 0 O The Hereford

Hereford cattle ni-c the beef type. They originated in Herefordshire. England.

They are kept in small numbers ii: much of the country but hold complete supremacy in the range areas of Southern Alberta and South-Westem Saskzitcliewan. The Canadian Hereford Breedcr's As- sociation was organized in l'cl9iJ and publishes the Canadian Here- ford Herd Book.

The color of this breed is a red body with white head, feet and

switch, The white extends over the belly. brisket, throat and '.vitlie.rs.

The breed is noted for its ii'ird- iness and rustling quillties. its strong constitution and good graz- ing ability, Animals of the breed have mild dispositions. Those oi the horned strain have medium horns which should grow straight out from the head and turn dovin slightly. In point of early matur- ity, l-lerefords would rank between ShDl'i.'ilurlIS and Aberdeen Angus. iills may he expected to weigh 1,700 to 2,200 pounds and cows 1.200 to 1,600 pounds.

The first Hcrcford cattle were imported to the United States in 1817 iind into Canada in 1860. The first to come to Canada were im- ported by F. W. Stone, of Guelph. Ont. The Foiled Hereford of pure Hereford blood lines had their be- ginning as a breed in 190i when Warren Gammon of Des Moines, Icwii, communicated with 2.500 Hereford breeders and located 1-l naturally polled individuals of pure

The Aberdeen Angus

The Aberdeen Angus is of tfhe beef type and its place of origin was the counties of Aberdeen and Angus in Scotland.

The cattle of this lireod nrr held in high regard where ever cattle are kept essentialy for biiof production, Because of this unique show-ring record and the nrperio: qualities of the finished steers feeder cattle displaying Aberdeen Angus breeding are in demand for feed lot purposes.

Te Canadian Aberdeen Amius Amociation was organized in i900, and animals eligible for registry have been recorded in the Canad- ian Aberdeen Angiis Herd Book. The color is black. White on the unde-rline and posterior to the na- Vcl is pi-rmissaibie. Red individ- uals nre ineligible for registration. The polled character, hlaclk col- or. good beef type and the superior degree of smootheness are import- ant oliiiracterlstlcs of the breed. The polled condition iind the black color are completely dominant. The cattle are slightly ailer than the I-lerefords and shortihorns; bulls at miiturlty weigh 1.000 to 2,100 pounds and females 1.300 to 1,500 pounds. They are hardy. although not as popular for range purposes as the I-leirefotdl. Aber- deen Angus cattle mature early and are particularly well suited

In I speech prepared for deliv- ery to the Canadian Club here. he said that "while doing what we can to raise the standards of our coffee and of our cafeterias gen- erally.” Canadians should strive to offer the "exhilaration" of visiting a "different country."

And then 1 answer with a laugh. for I really can't believe he .is entirely serious. "Look, ' young people on the Island are as bad as you paint them; if they are so much lea hard-working, less respectful, it just can't be because of any new ideas on child- trainlng. When the teenagers of today were small children, how many parents on the Island do you think aiier gave the matter a thought? And even now, are e- nough chlldren exposed to these modern ideas, to make any dif- ference?"

"You win," says Mr. Brown, with that gallantry that is anything but flattering. "A woman must have the last word. Come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee."

I I e

If Mr. Blown means only half he says. it is because he mus: blame something for his disap- pointment in the changes that have come to his beloved Island He had a truly enviable childhood His parents owned a prosperous farm that had been his grandpar- entsl before them. True. in a world without labor-saving devices, he and his brothers and sisters, as well as his parents. worked hard. but not beyond their strength. They were all contributing meni- bers of the home. His mother and father were fine people and there was harmony in the home. As their son, he was warmly accepted by all in the community. And he had the entire world of the out- doors to learn from and enjoy.

But how different things were for his son (and many other peo- ple)! He was uprooted to serve in the second World War. He was

subjected to strains far beyond any that came to his father. Ann his son, in turn, spent his early childhood without the benefit oi a father's care. The contrast be- tween the experiences of thess three generations, even on P.E.l., involves too many factors to deal with in this column. blt obviously a theory of child-development al- most untried, is not one of them. I I 0

Besides. Mr. Brown has entirely misinterpreted the theory itself. One of the basic ideas of mocluri child psychology is to build up the child's self-confidence, so that he will be able to fight his own battles-stand on his own feet. Parents who are too strict with
