A POCKET SUNDIALT A short paragraph in The Guar- dian told that an “Anglo-Saxon ocket sundlal" had been found uried under two ioct of soil, in a garden at Canterbury, England. I doubt this interpretation. To be- girl with those old nations. in gen- eral. were quite easy on the mat- ter of time; they did not "sweat their sixty minutes w the death" as we do, or are supposed to do; and l8 in the case of our pioneers the “noon-mark" was silfficient for their needs. It was thought worthy of mention when the Saxon King Alfred marked equidistant rings round“ his candles to show the flight oi time; betwieen each ring presumably was one hour's burning. Alfred was a scholar and translated parts of the Bible into his native tongue; and I sug- st he used the candle-clock to ell him when to kncck off and call it a day. I do not suppose the rest of his Silhjflild troubled to nick their candles. There is however one dial known date; the Norman Conquest. It is a suridial high on the south wall of Escomb old church. about six or seven miles south of the city of Durham. England had bccomo firmly Christian when Fscomb church was built; possibly in tho earlier part of the eleventh cen- tury. and time had come to have some significance to the worship- pers in that odd barn-like struc- ture. So the gocd fathers who held service there, inserted the primi- tive sundial which I shall en- deavor to describe. Their is of course a. gnomorl or style which casts its shadow along a horizon- tal line. marking six o'clock in the morning. 0r the evening. Just as the position of tho still determin- ed. From the centre bf this line. fell another at right angles to it: when the shadow of the gncmon noon. The angle formed by the Junction of the twp lines was bis- octed on each side, thus dividing the dial into iiur Pqllill spaces: the shadow would touch the one line at 9 li.ni., and the other at 3 p.m. That was enough for the rude forefathers of the hamlet in Saxon days. The general shape of be a representation of a, serpent. At some period in the Middle Ages a square dial with the ccmplefn hour-lines and exact figuring, was inserted over the porch doorway, but it does not appeal to the im- afzinatlon as does the Saxon dial Escomb old church was abandoned about 1860 when a new church was built half a mile away.

This, with an improvement in feeding methods. has increased the quality of the hogs shipped by such breeders. On the other hand, some breeders who always found difficulty iii pro- ducing a top grade liog. now use lion-bacon type boars and conse- quently the percentage of “C" grade hogs is gradually increasing. Another factor which prevents a more rapid increase in quality in our hogs is the lack of care exer- cised in selecting brood sows. About seventy per cent of the aged sovis from this province reaching pack- ing lunts carry defects in type and con ormation. Bacon type is more or less a man-made characteristic in a pig. For this reason there is a strong tendency to revert to the shots, heavy-shouldered type 0f tho uiild ancestors. Even among registered Yorkshire; this tendency wiLi be- come very noticeable unless close selecting is made of the breeding stock.
