Below will be foud a brief synopsis of telegraphic reports re- ceived at the Head Office of the Bank of Montreal from its Branch- es. The Branch Managers have complete and intimate knowledge of each local situation and are in close touch with crop conditions in all sections of the dbtrlcts mention- ed. '

GENERAL

Wheat threshing is now general in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and southern and central Alberta. In-

This is as it should’ be in my opinion: ail these linguistic div- ismns 11°11’ 1° 119911 mankind from °°.‘f1‘°1""1"il- and the mlllenium wi l_ not come till all the earth is 688m of "one language and one 511886113’ The old historian of Ba- bel (Genesis 11.6) gives as 1n;- reason for the confusion of ton- gues that mankind, with one speech was powerful enough "m scale the heavens highest height," symboli- Cfiliy at any rate. So, for all I have a sentimental regard for the old AnBlo-Saxon tongue, and in my idler moments study it a little, I would not care to see it made a subjfct in the school time-table.

The Last Minstrel: sir waiter Scott writes of the last mlnstrel: who then was the first? "There were none in Anglo-Saxon Britain; but the “glceman" was a kind of minstrel, and in this guise, 11, W111 be remembered, King Alfred 39,111- ed entrance to the Danish camp and observed the numbers and dis- position of the enemy. The minsti-el nroivfi came mm England with the Norman Conquest, though on the continent King Pepin, the father ‘of Charlemagne, had a. maestro di Capella in the eighth century, whose official title was that of “Menestrelfi At the battle of Senlac (Hastings) -in i066, a Squire named Taillefer rode in front of the Norman army, chant- ing the Song of Roland, and old writers distinctly term him minis- tellus. In Domesday Book, one Berdic. Joculator regls, is set, down as having three villas in Glo’ster- shire, and "nil redd"-t.hat is, he returned nothing (as rent or duty.) He must have been a favorite of the King to have so escaped the tax-collectors! The mlnstrel was also termed by the Normans “Jong- lcur“ and "Jurgleun" hence the Lat-in Joculator.

Fiction generally represents the minstrcl as leading n care-free, if somewhat Vagabond, life. but nothing was further from the truth in Norman times. The min- strel had a fixed abode; he not only sang to please the King or noble who was his patron, but was expected to assist in the choral service of his parish church. In the nelgn of King Henry I, his minstrel, Royer, founded the priory and hos- pital of St. Bartholemew, in 1102, and presided over it as prior till his death.

Passing on to the reign of Rich- ard I, the profession of Minstrel seems to have attained to a kind of nobility. Richard himself be- longed to its ranks and some of his songs are still extant. That he was rescued from a cruel and tedious captivity by "a. Rimer or Minstrill, called Blondell de Nesle, whom he had trained in his court." is well known to all. Blondel and the King had composed a duet, and the Minstrel sang the first verse out- side the prison where he supposed the King to be; and to his joy he heard Richard reply with the sec- ond verse. When the English knew where their monarch was. they speedily ransomed him.

This duet is a love-song, and here is a. specimen of its queer old French: "Domniu vostra. beautas EIBS bellas faissos Eis bels oils amoros," etc. Domna is an address to the "lady (domino), and her

beauty and lovely eyes come in for

a share of praise. By the reign of King Edward II

such extensive prlvilgees had been assumed by the Minstrels. and so many dissolutc persons had been attracted to their ranks, that it. be- came a matter of public grievance which was dealt with by an express edict, in 1315. Stowe, the antiquary, relates an incidcnt that shows that the Minstrels still retained their ancient liberty of entering the royal presence at will. "In the year I316. Edward the Second did solemnize his feast of Pentecost at West- minster, in the great hail: wherc sitting royally at the table W111i his peers about him, there entered n woman adorned like a Minstrel. sitting on s. grffat horse trapped up as Minstrels then used; who rode round about the tables shew- 111g pastime; and at length came u pic the King's table, and laid be- fore him a lettcr. and forthwith turning her horse saluted every one and so departed." ‘The P11111071- of this anecdote is that a woman disguised herself as a. Minstrci t0 secure easy admittance; and thc lettvr was a rcmonstrance against the king favoring unworthy "min- ions" to the neglect of his knights and faithful servants. A woman was chosen to deliver it, that in the case of detection her sex mishi d15grm the king's resentment. .

This court, in m» rcl§11 of Ed- ward 1V, examined the claims and pretensions of all such as affected to be mlnstrels; because "certain rude husbandmen and iirtlficcrs of various trades" had assumed "the livery and title of the King's Min-g strelo" and had collected money 11‘ divers parts of the Kingdom and committed other disorders.

After many vicissitudes this class of men had sunk so low in public opinion that, in 1597 a statute was Dfléoed whereby “Minstrels wand- ering obroad" were included with "ffililea, viignbonds and sturdy bell- gars" and were punished as such- Thili act, says Bishop Percy, in his

FARMING Ptn11ims

AD!" 110m u. farmer's IIVIIig ex- penses there are other charges which requre annual attention, re- gardless of profit derived from the crop produced. Probably the most outstanding of these charge; are taxes and interest on borrowed money. It is only good business then that every farmer should do his utmost towards reducing these to a minimum. hence the necessity of taking an active interest. in all community business. '

All citzens are convinced of the importance qand necessity of schools, roads. etc. but the securing of the same. should not be had without absolutely any regard to the taxpayer! financial ability. Owing to the great difficulty that accompanies any effort made to- ward the lowering of taxes it is very important that farmers keep in eiose touch with the proceedmgs of their local government. When farm produce is selling at a. high price farmers are inclined to pay very little attention to their tax bills, with the result that. when prices drop the paying of taxes be- comes a difficult matter. The bene- fits. along such lines as this, deri- ved by having a. goodly representa-

tion of agrlctilturists in all. local igovernments would be of untold

value to any community.

Having invested money in land lon which we must pay taxes it is ,oniy reusoanble that we should en- deavour to make every acre pl'0- .ciuce as much as possible. On a

great many farms we find wast-e ._land which could be made quite ‘Vprofitable with a _llttle extra labor. - It is very poor business to purchase additional land before bringing what. is already held under a use- ful state of production. After all it is only the land in use that gives a farmer any returns. A few acres, well-cultivated, and producing an iabundant harvest are far more profitable than twice the acreage overrun with weeds. and yielding crops that scarcely pay the cost. of the labor of seeding and harvesting.

Waste land has always been one of the main leaks of farming and yet one that is often within a farmer's control, for by bringing a small portion of such land into cul- tivation each year he will soon have at his disposal additional produc- tlve land that will yield good crops. The value of land is largely deter- mined by its usefulness. The dis- posing of a farm that has been pro- duciriig good crops seldom offers any difficulty.

A major problem in connection with livestock farming is that, uf suitable pasture and its location with respect to buildings. especially in the case of milk cows. Where it can at all be arranged the pasture should be near the buildings. but such an arrangement should not be made without due regard to water and shade. that contribute so much towards the making of‘ an ideal summer home for B11 11W- stock.

TLIELY NOTES ON TOPICS CONNECTED WITH

Silver Fox Farming

'l‘lie txecutive 0t the Silver FOX l Breeders and ExhibitorsAssociatlon lof Prince Edward Island under the iliresidcncy of John Roper. Char- JQMQIIOWII. met inst evening and. ‘completed arrangements for the annual silver fox show. which ivil‘. be held in the Exhibition building, gzlzirlottctown, November 16th to

November will be a busy month for fox show men as there will be exhibitions locally at Alberton and.- Borden, also at Amherst the week prior m Charlottetown, and the Royal Wiuter Fair will be held the week following. It is not likely that. a silver fox show will be held in. connection with the Royal Winter Fair. but visitors from overseas make it n point to attend that great exllosition. probably the best of its kind in America.

The dates for the Provincial show at Charlottetown are two weeks later than usual to give foxes a chance to} fur up and get/over the Qblefilions made by many breeders that the early date (ll-ti not allow a, lPmDer fllllifaisal of the best qual- 1 ity of foxes. The new rlitas should ‘be almost ideal for everybody as they will not interferc with anyone going to Amherst or local shows and will also nllow those wishing to take in the Rom Winter Fair full opportunity to do so.

The prize list will be exactly the Same as last year, that ls to say the classes will be-

Class 1. Black. extra dark and dark silvcr with silver showing up to 25 per cent.

Class 2. Dark medium silver with silver showing from 25 to 40 per cent.

Class 3. Medium silvers with from 40 to not more than 55 per cent.

Class 4. Light medium silvers with from 55 to not more than 65 per cent.

Class 5. Pale silvers with from 65 to not more than ‘l5 per cent.

Class 6. Extra pale silvers toshow over 75 per cent.

Each class will be subdivided into sections for adult males and females whelped prior to 1935. adult males and females whelped in l935,.male and female pups ivheiped in 1936. Thus the six classes subdivided into six sections will make a total of 36 competitions and each breeder is allowed to show a total of 36 foxes, but is restricted to not more than two entries in one class.

-The money prize list will be of the some proportions as lust year with added money prizes and rib- bons according to the number of entries. There will be sixteen tro- phies oficred for competition and in addition there will be added this year miniatures for each of the ten championships.

Competition that is sure to stir up a lot of interest is the grand award for pofiim, for ivhich ztbcau- fiful trophy will be given for first and a smaller trophy for second. Points tvill be awarded winners as follows: For each first place four points: second three points; third two points; fourth one point, and one point for each additional plaw as for as money prizes go. For in- stance if the class is it vcry large one like the mvtliiim silvers there may be ten money ])l‘l7:?5 given and in that ease every winner from the fifth to the tenth inclusive would each stmre a point.

There Wits considerable discussion over tit»: merits or demerits of these awards. but it was pointed out that they would serve to encourage ex- hibitors who ltrtve a lot of good fox- cs but perhaps arc not sufficiently outsianclittz iii any one clitss capture firsts or seconds.

The Classification Committee came in for n. lot of ccmntcnt and it was felt. that they had done excellent work last your, so the some com- committec was appointed for this year, namely. Fred Burk-c, Gnar- lotietown. Pnrviti Cass. Summersidc and Douglas Bell. Borden. These gentlemen when ii fox is presented to them for classification, each mark their individual opinion on a. card and the decision of two places the fox in the cwletrorv he will be judg- ed in. Heath Bowncss of Kcnslng- ton will be Superintendent.

There was only one name men- tioned in connection with the judg- ing-Geoi-gc A. Cullbeck. Summer- side. and very fortunately it was found that, his services would be available for the iveek selected. but if the show had been later Mr. Callbeck could no‘. ofllclatc as his duties in connection with the man- agement of the Canadian National Fur Marketing organization would prove-tit, him. His experience with ‘silver foxes and thorough know- ledge of furs. together with y-cars of judging. particularly qualify him for the work. but it is n most ard- uous task to place the different prize ivlntiers at the world's larg- est, fox show.
