' Ranchers are pondering ovcrl, ways and means of cutting down1 expenses. Some are replacing quite a bit of their meat 1n the diet with fish where it is obtain-K able at reasonable prices. One‘ whose tactical position is the besti is canny Ernie Mill, Mill's Point,‘ who. the other morning with his strapping son went out in their fishing boat and returned a few hours later with several barrels of herring. which they transfer- red to storage in Kenslngton. Ernie will probably replace about half the meat- he usually fed with fish and for some months at least will have as good results. When fall comes he will likely have to go back to meat diet as the general impression is that fish fed through the fall months has a tendency to brown the fur.

Some ranchers are partial to hake and we have fed it with good results. It is cheap- er than cod and does riot ccntairr as many small worms. A mlxerl fish and meat diet is considered not correct by some foxmen. who believe one should feed either all fish or all meat. However. we have fed the two together with no ill results and we know others, like John Roper and ranchers in our vicinity who have done the same. 1n the western United States where the fish are fresh water variety, the feeding of large quan- tities of fish leads to paralysis of the hind parts known by the tech- nical name of Ohastek Paralysis.

Just what the cause is we cannot tell. Some think it is because the females dld not get enough exercise ho-l cause there was not enough ‘snowi on the ground.

The Winter Aconites (Eranihis) were in full bloom on April 29th, and were fading on May 8th. They were above ground early but had to be protected at nights by an inverted box.

It is more decorative than the Siberian Scilla and blooms about the same time. My little bush of Daphne Mez- creum was loaded with pink blos- some on May 8th; the leaves will unfold when the flowers are gone. The blossoms have a strong and appealing fragrance. This shrub is abundant on the roadsid-za near Hunter River. The lilac is a shrub that keeps its leaves long in the fall, and shows green tips to the buds very early in Spring. Those old, an- cestral habitr. seem to point to a. homeland with a long growing season. On looking l‘. up I find the lilac (Syringe) comes from parts of Asia. Innumerable var- ieties of this favorite shrub have been developed in the past half- century. the flowers ranging froln white to degp purple, in single or double forms.

The Musical Festival at Van- oauvor is just concluded also, and it is noteworthy that the first festival was held 25 years ago. The figures for 1947 are not avail- able yet. but the 1946 British Col- umbia Festival had with 1200 entries; among them were 100 day school choirs. There are also smaller local festivals in the Province. developing mus- ical activities and fostering tal- ent for tho greater occasions. The origin of such musical gath- erings is Sflld-eihd with justice- to go back to the Welsh Eistedd- fod, a festival designed to en- courage thc music and poetry of the Welsh bards. ‘Tradition says that the first Eisteddfod was held at Conway in the 6th century, and‘ has been held annually ever since at various Welsh centres The North of England, in my youth. was fairly musical, but the musical competition festival was confined to brass bands. Several of the collierles had bands and the bandsmen gathered once or twice weekly at the village inn. in the winter time. to practice. The competition was held in sum- mer when travelling was pleasant. the coal-owners presented them with e set of silver band. instruments. This gave the "Silver Prize Band" a. good deal cf publicity. which at length brought about its downfall. An evangelist visited the village and convinced the bandsmen that they were engaged in a. sinful am ent. made worse by their meeting-place. They returned the instruments to their employers and that was that! Probably the first choral festi- val in Imgland was inaugurated in Essex county, 1882. by J. Spen- ser Curwen. Curwon was well known 1n those days as the in- ventor of a Sol-fa system of mus- ical notation. This simplified the reading of music to such an ex- tent. that lb is scarcely an ex- aggeration to say that it made the English a nation of singers overnight! A little later. 1385. the scene of the festival was in the North again. Kendal, in Cumberland. held its Musical Festival sup- ported by the factory workers. The idea began to spread till, in 1931. the “British Federation of Musical Competition Festivals" was incorporated. The last fig- ures available (1027) showed that 200 Festivals in England arnl Scotland had become members of the Federation. The Floral Emblem A short time ago I asked, in this column, who it was that sug- gested the Lady's Slipper as the Emblem of the Province? I now have good authority for stating that the que “ r was discussed in the Teacher-training class at the Prince of Wales College (19461 and when Mr. Ralph Maclean. a member of the staff. suggested the Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium hlrsutuml, it was unanimously adopted. The class used lt on the cover of a magazine they were then producing. and the Legisla- ture adopted ll". as our Emblem in the session of 1947.
