I believe that this importation was prior to the establishing of a Canadian Herd Book and I am lead to believe that it was one of the first importations to Canada and possibly to the United States. These five oows.

Also if a fox does not relish its rations it will result in the fox acquiring indiges- tion. To obtain maximum results from feeding an occasional change of taste or flavor is absolutely nec- essary with all rations." That is a good tip from Nu". Braekett. and while thought of it ourselves, have not perhaps utilized it as much as we should have. At present the writ- er is changing the flavor of the feed every few days by adding dif- ferent stock foods and condiments in sma-ll quantities. twice a week adding a little fine wood charcoal. By the way. there is nothing bet- ter onoe in a while than a little wood charcoal, willow preferred. It acts as an absorbent to gasses, and various forms of indigestion are relieved by it. We recently bad quite a talk to Dr. Etrmis Smith and discussed with him the use 01’ tripe as a large part. of the diet. The Doctor agreed that tripe is a splendid food but said that some ranchers were going too m- in its use.

When the master came in, at the tail of the proces- sion. he dispersed them to temper-i ary seats till such time as the roll was called. Going to his desk he called "All Stand!" Then striking the key note with a. tuning fcrk, he led off the morning Hymn. A fav-, orite in this connection was Kcblehs ‘ lovely hymn beginning with the- words: "New every morning is the‘ love. Our wakening and upraising, prove." and to hear it sung by} those fresh young English voices, to the grand old tune "Melcombe" was something to be remembered. I do not know whether the case was ex- ceptional but the three schoolmast- ers who taught our Naiicnal School in suooessi ‘ll, were a.ll good singers. well versed in Tonic solfa, and they trained us well. SCHOOL OPENS l Then came the commad "Eyes, closed." and in that manner we repeated the “Lord's Prayer" in unison: the master then read a short prayer-the third morning "collect" of the Anglican Church»- to which the scholars responded with Amen. and our little opening ceremony was over for that day. Occasionally a newcomer, anx- ious to curry favor, would report: “Please. sir, I saw so-and-so with his eyes open!" "Oh. ho\v did you. do that." the "maist0:"’ would re- ply in such a deliciously confiden- tial tone that an appreciative grin 0f all.

It was a point. ofi honor with the scholars. ta ref prompt with the "school-money" and only the very poorest got into arrears. Every Monday morning, as the name was called. each schdar came up to the desk. with his or her school money, saw it duly en- tered, and retired to make way for the next. When this ceremony was finished. the master. sitting behind his little stacks of pennies and halfpennies, resembled a crOupler after a game of Rouge et Noir at Monte Carlo! The new comers were now given a brief examination to test their knowledge or mental- ity and were assigned to their var- ious classes. And what had the scholars been doing While all this went on? well, not to waste time. a command had gone forth that each was to write out his reading lcsscn on his SlSLP in his "best handwriting," and a boy, usually selected rrom "Stand-l ard Six" the highest class-was put ' as “monitor" to see tffat, they kr-n‘. to work. The monitor stood in the middle of the schoo‘, in front o! the desks. with his arms folded over his slate. His glance roved up and down, and if he saw an idler. he gave an admonlshlng wave cf his hand. If the idler took no notice. down went his name on the slate to be handed to the master when nt. last roll-call was finished. The slates with the reading lesson were Passed expertly and quickly (from long practice) to the ends of the desks and adjudicated upon by the master. The idlers "got the cane" There was a good deal of "enn- ing" those days. and however hard to bear at the time, I never found an adult who did not consider that it did him good: that it was. in fact. just what he deserved. And a curious thing was that the "whal- "lngs" they receive as snhoolbcvs seemed to instil a. respect for thr- achoolmasfer. even after the recip- ients had grown to manhood. and could have “licked" him with cnc hand! When one 0f our schodmas- ters died, I heard a husky minor say: "Aye. poor man! Monny (many) a caning he gave me!" Again, if a boy (seldom a. girl) got caned. he never told of it at 1mm:- a wise course. since he was liable to get a. "clout" or two extra. Con- trast that spirit with that of the present day. and we find one cause of the decay of parental authority. "My child can do no wrong" is thr- opinloh of some parents. and woe betide the teacher who corrects young hopeful. In almost cvcry community one finds such a "kic- iker" who has a. chronic feud with the teacher and expresses his (or her) views freely before the child- ren. This backing causes trouble at school. and “throws a monkey wrench into the wheels" o.’ cdll- catlon.

In 1926 I pro- cured and planted some Windsor. 01' broad. beans. and they turned out a very mediocre lot. most of the pods having one or two beans in them. A few, however. had three seeds in a pod and these were saved and planted apart from the general snwinc. Those plants showed a ten- dency to grow “three in a. pod." and this method of selection was car- riccl 011 ycnr after year. After five ycnrs the beans had elected that thrcc in a pod was the proper number to produce, while one or two. of a more ambitious character. gave four to the pod. Last year thcrc were eight pods of four seeds each. and these were saved, to make a short row this year. Today I gath- ercd thirty-nine pods of four seeds cnch, tho nest. being "threes."
