<table>
<tbody>
<tr>

<p>The follwoing remarks, except as hereinafter mentioned, apply to join stock companies, whether they are incorporated under the Dominion of Ontario Joint Stock Company Act.</p>
<p>A Joint stock company is a partnership consisting of a large number of persons incorporated under some statute with the object of carrying on some specified purpose or business, and having a capital divided into equal shares which are transferable by the respective holders thereof without the consent of the other share-holders.</p>
<p>One or more shares are held by each shareholder, and in proportion to the shares held by him he is entitled to vote at meetings of the company, and to participate in the profits of the company.</p>
<p>There are two kinds of shares or stock, viz., common and preferred or preference.</p>
<p>By common shares or stock is meant stock which entitles the owner of it to a pro rata division of profits.</p>
<p>By preferred or preferenes stock is meant stock which entitles its owner to dividends out of the net profins before or in preference to the holders of the common stock, and which may in addition entitle its owner, in the event of the winding up of the company, and if Shere is any capital to be returned to the shareholders, to have the amount paid in on his shares returned to him before the common umon stockholder receives the amount paid in by him.</p>
<p>Cumulative preference stock is preference stock which entities the holder thereof to have any deficiency of dividends in any year made good to him out of the profits of subsequent years.</p>
<p>Non-cumulative preference stock does not give the holder thereof this right, so that the holder of such stock can only look to the year's profita for his dividend for that particular year.</p>
<p>Preferred stock redeemable by the company is pret erence stock issued by a compsay by a company which has the right to buy hack that stock at any stipulated time.</p>
<p>Shareholders of preference stock possess all the rights and are subject to all the liabilities of other share holders their only privilege is their preference over the other shareholders with respect to dividends and capital</p>
<p>A joint stock company is known in law as a corpor ation aggregate. The members of the company and their successors form hut one person in law, a person different from that of any of the members, though composed of them.</p>
<p>Each shareholder is responsible for the debts of the company to an amount equal to that not pald up on his shares; so that, in case of the insolvency of the com pany, he stands to low the amount paid in by him, and in addition he may be called upon to pay the amount still unpaid on his shares.</p>
<p>Under The Ontario Joint Stock Company Act (which applies to companies incorporated under that act), no person holding stock in the company as an executor, administrator, guardian or trustee, is personally Habile as a shareholder; but the estate and funds in his hands of the party represented by him is liable.</p>
The Dominion Joint Stock Company Act (which applies to companies incorporated under that act), is somewhat similar, and provides that no person holding stock in</td>
<td>
<p>executor, etc., represents the stock held by him at all meetings, and can vote as a shareholder.

{A slip containing rules regarding proofs is placed on the blank page}
== RULES REGARDING PROOFS ==
== READ CAREFULLY ==
== POSTAL CARD CORRESPONDENCE NOT RECOGNIZED ==
1. Do not expose proofs to strong lights, or they will fade immediately.
2. All proofs must be returned, or they will be charged for at the rate of two dollars each.
3. If order is given for more than one style, an extra charge of one dollar will be made for each additional negative, thus, one dozen of the $15.00 Cabinets finished from two negatives would cost $16.00, and if three different styles are ordered they would cost $17.00.
4. Write order plainly on the back of proofs you wish finished.
5. If proofs will not finish first-class you will find X on the back. Defects, or anything displeasing about expression will be remedied in finishing.
6. No photographs finished until a deposit is made, and the full amount must be paid before one photograph is delivered. We will not break this rule, for any person, under any circumstances.
7. If no order is given we charge from two dollars to ten dollars for making negatives.

<p>As regards measures - That the unit or standard measure of capacity, as well for liquids as for dry measures, shall be the gallon, containing ten standard pounds weight of distilled water, weighed with the water adn air at a temperature of sixty-two degrees Fahrenheit, with the barometer at thirty inches, that the quart shall be one-fourth part of the gallon, and the pint one-eighth part of the gallon, and that eight gallons shall be a bushel.</p>
<p>This gallon, commonly known as the "Imperial gallon," contains 277.274 cubic inches.</p>
<p>The standard measure of legnth is the yard, one-third part of which it is provided shall be a foot, and the twelfth part of such foot shall be an inch.</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">IMPERIAL MEASURE.</span></h3>
<p>Special note should be made of the fact that certain standards of weights and measures used in some of teh states of the United States are not legal (through frequently used), in Canada. These standards are not so large, being about 20 percent. smaller in capacity than the legal standards in Canada, i.e., the Imperial pint, quart and gallon.</p>
<p>The following tables shew the legal weight in Canada of certain commodities by the Barrel, Bushel, Bag, etc.:-</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">COMMODITIES BY THE BARREL.</span></h3>
<p>Every barrel, half barrel, bag, sack or package must have marked thereon the naem fo the packer and the brand and the weight of the contents, and in case of feed, the composition thereof.</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">Net Weight in Dominion Standard pounds.</span></h3>
<p>Barrel. Half-barl.</p>
<p>Flour 196 98</p>
<p>Meal. 196 98</p>
<p>Rolled Oats 180 90</p>
<p>Rolled wheats 100 50</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">APPLES.</span></h3>
Barrels used for packing apples must be 26 1/4 inches between the heads inside measure, 17 inches in diameter at head, and have a middle diameter of 18 1/2 inches, containing as nearly as possible 96 quarts. Boxes used for packaging apples must be not less than 10 inches deep. 11 inches in width and 20 inches long, representing as nearly as possible 2,200 cubic inches.

<p>1. Do not expose proofs to strong lights, or they will fade immediately.</p>
<p>2. All proofs must be returned, or they will be charged for at the rate of two dollars each.</p>
<p>3. If order is given for more than one style, an extra charge of one dollar will be made for each additional negative, thus, one dozen of the $15.00 Cabinets finished from two negatives would cost $16.00, and if three different styles are ordered they would cost $17.00.</p>
<p>4. Write order plainly on the back of proofs you wish finished.</p>

Every part has had experience with teh child who won't eat. Of course every child will eat, if you take the sentence literally, but not every child will eat the things that are good for him, or her, as the case may be.
In the effort to present articles that get right down into intimate, interesting and pertinent family problems, we offer this month, among other things, and article by Gladys Denny Schultz on the foregoing subject. We think such articles are of interest to 100 percent our readers. What do you think?
Pursuant to the Better Homes and Gardens policy of encouraging the building of homes where children may feel at home, we present his month a thoughful artcile by Leland McBroom on a house where special thought has been give to the needs of children. "The house is the child's world," say Mr. McBroom. Had you thougt of that? The grown-ups have their wordaday contacts in the wide world, but the horizon of the pre-school child is usually limited ot teh confines of the home and garden.
How to make the child's world as usefeul and pleasant as possible is the problem of the thoughtful home-maker. It is desired that the child shoudl become a good citizen of the world, and it si therefore necessary that he fit into the scheme of the little world in which he finds himself during the first, three or four years of life.
One of the real charter members of the Better Homes and Gardens family is Francis Asbury Robinson, who has had charge of our landscaping depeartment since the beginning of the magazine. M. Robinson received his trainign in Darmouth and Harvard, where he obtained a master's degree. He was in France during 1918 and 1919 with the 313th Engineers, and rose from private to captain during that time. For fourteen years he has been a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
Mr. Robinson was landscape architect-in-chief of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1925. Other interesting commission which he has undertaken are the grounds at Dartmouth College and Wbash College; the Waterworks parks in Des Moines, Iowa; in Orlando, Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama; and numerous state fairs and expositions.
Color is being used so freely in the home these days that a large array of new problems present themselves. The indiscriminate use of color is worse than no color at all. Color to be effective, must be studied and employed with proper balance, with restraint and with regard to harmony. There are certain laws of relationships taht must be observed in order to keep colors living peacefully together. That is why Ross Crane's arrticle in thsi issue is of special value at this time.

One of the most remarkable items of commendatino yet received by Better Homes and Gardens is that concerning a woman in Oregon. We quote directly from the letter of one of our subscribers: "One member of the family was in a very serious condition with diabetes. I sent a copy of your magazine to the family, for I was sure an article in that number would encourage them. They read snatches of the article to her. . . . Her viewpoint was changed concerning the disease, so she perked right up and conseted to be taken to the hospital to start the insulin treatment. . . . No wshe is quite herself again, adn is the joy of her family. . . . They write me frequently to tell me that I save dher life with that article."
The term "Better Homes and Gardens" or part of it, are used frequently these days in connection with expositions and other projects with the subject indicated. The name of this magazine is therefore well justified by events. This name was adopted because it is a thoroly and characteristically American statement of the ambition of home-owners. "To make our best better" is the slogan of a group that is doing great work among American young people, and this is the idea that Better Homes and Gardens seeks to encourage. Constant improvement, constant striving toward higher and higher levels of achievement, is charaterisitc of American civilization. It is youthfully enthusiastic in its ambition to attainj better living. The spirit of realizable anticipation is mroe netralling than the other world illusions of ficition. It was youthful opitmism that made this country what it is now and will make it still greater. Better Homes nad Gardens is therefore in tune with American progress as it applies to the fundamental element of civilization - the home.
In the February issue, metnion was made of the "Better Back Yards for Children" contest. If you wish to have complete annoucement, write to the Back Yard Playground Contest Department, Better Homes and Gardens, Des Moines, Iowa. A leaflet containing complete annoucement will be mailed to you at once.
Desiring to be of service to garden clubs, we have arranged to furnish clubs with courses in landscape architecture, these course to be taken up in the meetings so as to be of benefit to all the members. Announcements have been made in previous issues, but if you ahve not seen them, a letter to Better Homes and Gardens will quickly bring the desired information. Landscape architecture is not a formidable theme, altho it requires consdierable study. It is a fascinating subject and one which is appropriate for garden clubs. Editor {Signature of editor}

{Piece of paper print with text placed within diary}
== Suppose, Mr. Speeder! ==
Supposing your child should leave its own yard
For a romp or in search of a ball;
If its mother were busy and had not the time
To step out and give it a call;
Supposing some speeder should race down yoru street,
As if he were taking a dare -
And crush the life out of your little girl,
Mr. Speeder, do you think you would care?
Supposing your mother were crossing the street -
Your mother now feeble and old,
And some reckless driver should knock her side,
Leaving her lifeless and cold.
Could you find and excuse for this careless act?
Would you really think it is fair?
Now putting yourself in this fellow's place-
Mr. Speeder, do you think you would care?
Supposing a loved one you hold very dear
Were a victim of some speeder's game;
And lay in bed just day after day
All crippled and helpless and lame;
Supposing he never could walk any more,
No longer yoru pleasures could share;
Just lay there and suffered day in and day out-
Mr Speeder, do you think you would care?
How little you care for other man's pain
In your reckless pleasure and greed;
How little you care what it costs someone else,
As you travel at dare-devil speed;
But just let it strike in your family some day
For you and your loved ones to share-
Then you'll slacken your speed and you'll take time to think,
And then Mr. Speeder, you'll care.

<p>Every part has had experience with teh child who won't eat. Of course every child will eat, if you take the sentence literally, but not every child will eat the things that are good for him, or her, as the case may be.
</p><p>In the effort to present articles that get right down into intimate, interesting and pertinent family problems, we offer this month, among other things, and article by Gladys Denny Schultz on the foregoing subject. We think such articles are of interest to 100 percent our readers. What do you think?
</p><p>Pursuant to the Better Homes and Gardens policy of encouraging the building of homes where children may feel at home, we present his month a thoughful artcile by Leland McBroom on a house where special thought has been give to the needs of children. "The house is the child's world," say Mr. McBroom. Had you thougt of that? The grown-ups have their wordaday contacts in the wide world, but the horizon of the pre-school child is usually limited ot teh confines of the home and garden.
</p><p>How to make the child's world as usefeul and pleasant as possible is the problem of the thoughtful home-maker. It is desired that the child shoudl become a good citizen of the world, and it si therefore necessary that he fit into the scheme of the little world in which he finds himself during the first, three or four years of life.
</p><p>One of the real charter members of the Better Homes and Gardens family is Francis Asbury Robinson, who has had charge of our landscaping depeartment since the beginning of the magazine. M. Robinson received his trainign in Darmouth and Harvard, where he obtained a master's degree. He was in France during 1918 and 1919 with the 313th Engineers, and rose from private to captain during that time. For fourteen years he has been a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
</p><p>Mr. Robinson was landscape architect-in-chief of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1925. Other interesting commission which he has undertaken are the grounds at Dartmouth College and Wbash College; the Waterworks parks in Des Moines, Iowa; in Orlando, Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama; and numerous state fairs and expositions.
</p><p>Color is being used so freely in the home these days that a large array of new problems present themselves. The indiscriminate use of color is worse than no color at all. Color to be effective, must be studied and employed with proper balance, with restraint and with regard to harmony. There are certain laws of relationships taht must be observed in order to keep colors living peacefully together. That is why Ross Crane's arrticle in thsi issue is of special value at this time.

<p>One of the most remarkable items of commendatino yet received by Better Homes and Gardens is that concerning a woman in Oregon. We quote directly from the letter of one of our subscribers: "One member of the family was in a very serious condition with diabetes. I sent a copy of your magazine to the family, for I was sure an article in that number would encourage them. They read snatches of the article to her. . . . Her viewpoint was changed concerning the disease, so she perked right up and conseted to be taken to the hospital to start the insulin treatment. . . . No wshe is quite herself again, adn is the joy of her family. . . . They write me frequently to tell me that I save dher life with that article."
</p><p>The term "Better Homes and Gardens" or part of it, are used frequently these days in connection with expositions and other projects with the subject indicated. The name of this magazine is therefore well justified by events. This name was adopted because it is a thoroly and characteristically American statement of the ambition of home-owners. "To make our best better" is the slogan of a group that is doing great work among American young people, and this is the idea that Better Homes and Gardens seeks to encourage. Constant improvement, constant striving toward higher and higher levels of achievement, is charaterisitc of American civilization. It is youthfully enthusiastic in its ambition to attainj better living. The spirit of realizable anticipation is mroe netralling than the other world illusions of ficition. It was youthful opitmism that made this country what it is now and will make it still greater. Better Homes nad Gardens is therefore in tune with American progress as it applies to the fundamental element of civilization - the home.
</p><p>In the February issue, metnion was made of the "Better Back Yards for Children" contest. If you wish to have complete annoucement, write to the Back Yard Playground Contest Department, Better Homes and Gardens, Des Moines, Iowa. A leaflet containing complete annoucement will be mailed to you at once.
</p><p>Desiring to be of service to garden clubs, we have arranged to furnish clubs with courses in landscape architecture, these course to be taken up in the meetings so as to be of benefit to all the members. Announcements have been made in previous issues, but if you ahve not seen them, a letter to Better Homes and Gardens will quickly bring the desired information. Landscape architecture is not a formidable theme, altho it requires consdierable study. It is a fascinating subject and one which is appropriate for garden clubs. Editor {Signature of editor}

<h2><span id="Suppose,_Mr._Speeder!"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Suppose.2C_Mr._Speeder.21">Suppose, Mr. Speeder!</span></h2>
<p>Supposing your child should leave its own yard
For a romp or in search of a ball;
If its mother were busy and had not the time
To step out and give it a call;
Supposing some speeder should race down yoru street,
As if he were taking a dare -
And crush the life out of your little girl,
Mr. Speeder, do you think you would care?
</p><p>Supposing your mother were crossing the street -
Your mother now feeble and old,
And some reckless driver should knock her side,
Leaving her lifeless and cold.
Could you find and excuse for this careless act?
Would you really think it is fair?
Now putting yourself in this fellow's place-
Mr. Speeder, do you think you would care?
</p><p>Supposing a loved one you hold very dear
Were a victim of some speeder's game;
And lay in bed just day after day
All crippled and helpless and lame;
Supposing he never could walk any more,
No longer yoru pleasures could share;
Just lay there and suffered day in and day out-
Mr Speeder, do you think you would care?
</p><p>How little you care for other man's pain
In your reckless pleasure and greed;
How little you care what it costs someone else,
As you travel at dare-devil speed;
But just let it strike in your family some day
For you and your loved ones to share-
Then you'll slacken your speed and you'll take time to think,
And then Mr. Speeder, you'll care.
</p><p>- Boston Post

{typed article from newspaper}
How Old Are You?
One day there came to the court of a king a gray-haired professor, who amused the king greatly. He told the monarch a number of things he never knew before, and the king was delighted. But finally he came to a point where the ruler wanted to know the age of the professor, so he thought of a mathematical problem.
"Ahem!" said the king ; "I have an interesting sum for you; it is a trial in mental arithmatic. Think of the number of the month of your birth."
Now the professor was sixty years old and had been born two days before Christmas so he thought of twelve, December being the twelfth month.
"Yes," said the professor.
"Multiply it by two," said the king.
"Yes,"
"Add five."
"Yes," answered the professor, doing so.
" Now mulitply by fifty."
"Yes."
"Add your age."
"Yes."
"Subtract 365."
"Yes."
"Add 115."
"Yes."
"And now," said the king, "might I ask what the result is?"
"Twelve hundred and sixty," replied the professor, wonderingly
"Thank you," was the king's response. "So you wre born in December, sixty years go, eh?
"Why, how in the world do you know?" replied the professor.
"Why," replied the king, "from your answer 1260."
"The month of your birth was the twelfth, and the last two figures give your age."
"Ha, ha, ha!" laughed the professor. "Capital idea! I'll try it on the next person. It's a polite way of finding out people's ages." --Watchman.

{Article from newspaper or magazine}
The Secret of Peace and Strength.
Suppose that the Christian life, in its daily manifestation, should come to be marked and known by simplicity and happiness. Suppose that the followers of Jesus should really escape bondages to the evil spirits of avarice and luxury which infest and torment so much of our complicated, tangled, artificial modern life. Suppose that instead of increasing their wants and their desires, instead of loading themselves down on life's journey with so many bags and parcels and boxes of superfluous luggage and bric-a-brac that they are forced to sit down by the roadside and gasp for breath; instead of wearing themselves out in the dusty ways of ostentation and vain show, or embittering their hearts because they cannot succeed in getting into the weary race of wealth and fashion -- suppose instead of all this they should turn to quiet ways, lowly pleasures, pure and simple joys, "plain living and high thinking." Suppose they should truly find and show their happiness in the knowledge that God loves them and Christ died for them and heaven is sure, and so set their hearts free to rejoice in life's common mercies-- the light of the sun, the blue of the sky, the splendour of the sea, the peace of the everlasting hills, the song of the birds, the sweetness of flowers, the wholesome savor of good food, the delights of action and motion, the refreshment of sleep, the charm of music, the blessings of human love and friendship --rejoice in all these without fear or misgiving, because they come from God, and because Christ has sanctified them all by his presence and touch -- suppose, I say, that such a revival of the joy of living in Christ and working for Christ should silently sweep over the Church in the twentieth century. What would happen? Great would be the peace of her children. Greater still would be their power.

2. {Article What to Teach Your Daughter.}
Teach her that one hundred cents make a dollar. Teach her to wear a simple muslin dress and to wear it like a queen. Teach her her how to sew on buttons, darn stockings and mend gloves. Teach her to dress for health and comfort as well as for appearance. Teach her to arrange the parlor and the library. Teach her to love and to cultivate flowers. Teach her to say no and mean it: and to say yes and stick to it. Teach her to have nothing to do with intemperate and dissolute young men. Teach her to pay regard to the character of those she would associate with and not to how much money they have. Teach her to have a place for everything and to put everything in its place. Teach her that music is an elevating and delightful accomplishment and should not be neglected if there is money enough to give her instruction in it. Teach her that the more she lives within her income the more she will save and the further away she will keep from privation when reverses come. Teach her to take advantage of every opportunity for reading, selecting such books as will give her suitable mental training and practical information for a good and useful life. Teach her that modesty is the most attractive of all qualities, and that loud talking or laughter in public not only disgusts everybody that hears it, but will eventually destroy her self respect. Teach her a high sense of personal dignity, so that she may regard familiarity of touch or speech as an unpardonable affront to her womanhood.

<p>How Old Are You?</p>
<p>One day there came to the court of a king a gray-haired professor, who amused the king greatly. He told the monarch a number of things he never knew before, and the king was delighted. But finally he came to a point where the ruler wanted to know the age of the professor, so he thought of a mathematical problem. "Ahem!" said the king ; "I have an interesting sum for you; it is a trial in mental arithmatic. Think of the number of the month of your birth." Now the professor was sixty years old and had been born two days before Christmas so he thought of twelve, December being the twelfth month. "Yes," said the professor. "Multiply it by two," said the king. "Yes," "Add five." "Yes," answered the professor, doing so. " Now mulitply by fifty." "Yes." "Add your age." "Yes." "Subtract 365." "Yes." "Add 115." "Yes." "And now," said the king, "might I ask what the result is?" "Twelve hundred and sixty," replied the professor, wonderingly "Thank you," was the king's response. "So you wre born in December, sixty years go, eh? "Why, how in the world do you know?" replied the professor. "Why," replied the king, "from your answer 1260." "The month of your birth was the twelfth, and the last two figures give your age." "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed the professor. "Capital idea! I'll try it on the next person. It's a polite way of finding out people's ages." --Watchman.</p>

<p>The Secret of Peace and Strength.</p>
<p>Suppose that the Christian life, in its daily manifestation, should come to be marked and known by simplicity and happiness. Suppose that the followers of Jesus should really escape bondages to the evil spirits of avarice and luxury which infest and torment so much of our complicated, tangled, artificial modern life. Suppose that instead of increasing their wants and their desires, instead of loading themselves down on life's journey with so many bags and parcels and boxes of superfluous luggage and bric-a-brac that they are forced to sit down by the roadside and gasp for breath; instead of wearing themselves out in the dusty ways of ostentation and vain show, or embittering their hearts because they cannot succeed in getting into the weary race of wealth and fashion -- suppose instead of all this they should turn to quiet ways, lowly pleasures, pure and simple joys, "plain living and high thinking." Suppose they should truly find and show their happiness in the knowledge that God loves them and Christ died for them and heaven is sure, and so set their hearts free to rejoice in life's common mercies-- the light of the sun, the blue of the sky, the splendour of the sea, the peace of the everlasting hills, the song of the birds, the sweetness of flowers, the wholesome savor of good food, the delights of action and motion, the refreshment of sleep, the charm of music, the blessings of human love and friendship --rejoice in all these without fear or misgiving, because they come from God, and because Christ has sanctified them all by his presence and touch -- suppose, I say, that such a revival of the joy of living in Christ and working for Christ should silently sweep over the Church in the twentieth century. What would happen? Great would be the peace of her children. Greater still would be their power.</p>

<p>2. {Article What to Teach Your Daughter.}</p>
<p>Teach her that one hundred cents make a dollar. Teach her to wear a simple muslin dress and to wear it like a queen. Teach her her how to sew on buttons, darn stockings and mend gloves. Teach her to dress for health and comfort as well as for appearance. Teach her to arrange the parlor and the library. Teach her to love and to cultivate flowers. Teach her to say no and mean it: and to say yes and stick to it. Teach her to have nothing to do with intemperate and dissolute young men. Teach her to pay regard to the character of those she would associate with and not to how much money they have. Teach her to have a place for everything and to put everything in its place. Teach her that music is an elevating and delightful accomplishment and should not be neglected if there is money enough to give her instruction in it. Teach her that the more she lives within her income the more she will save and the further away she will keep from privation when reverses come. Teach her to take advantage of every opportunity for reading, selecting such books as will give her suitable mental training and practical information for a good and useful life. Teach her that modesty is the most attractive of all qualities, and that loud talking or laughter in public not only disgusts everybody that hears it, but will eventually destroy her self respect. Teach her a high sense of personal dignity, so that she may regard familiarity of touch or speech as an unpardonable affront to her womanhood.</p>

== THE HOME FORUM ==
=== A DUST STORM IN THE WEST ===
Dear Homemaker: Have any of our neighbors seen a real dust storm? Not just a flurry of sudden toy whirlwind that sometimes hits us at King and Yonge Streets, and is over by the time we get to Dundas, but a real, honest-to-goodness storm that envelopes a whole city, I mean. the past twenty-four hours, or thereabouts, I have lived in one, and it seems to me it might not only interest the neighbors to hear about it, but also help some of us to realize what our Western farmers are suf-, fering in Southern Saskatchewan.
Wednesday morning broke clear and bright, and by 9 o'clock it was hot, registering up toward 80 degrees, and by 11 well over 90 degrees. A gentle wind blew, and seemed to come out of an overheated oven some-where in the west.
From my room window, high up in the luxurious hotel, I looked out lover the city, and in the far distance could see a light, curious, brown cloud, and as I gazed the breeze rapidly increased to a strong wina, and presently a gale-still hot, and very uncomfortable. By 2 o'clock it was fairly howling round every corner, and the light brown cloud had become a dark, threatening and rapidly advancing gloom.
In a few minutes a maid rapped at the door with: "Please close your windows, a big storm is coming from Moose Jaw" (I was then in Re-gina), and in less than fifteen minutes I was witnessing my first dust storm.
The hotel faces a fine square, in the centre of which stands the war memorial-perhaps a hundred yards from the door.
The gloom settled to a deep brown shadow. Trees bent before it, grass flattened, and the sun paled to a faint white ball hanging like a phosphorescent football in the sky. The war memorial was invisible. People who had perforce to venture out went with bowed heads, holding their hats, and struggling with wildly flapping garments.
Brown grit seeped in everywhere. Even in my room my teeth gritted with it, and I could feel it in my hair, despite closed windows!
The spotless bed coverlet and linen were dusted with it, the dressing table was covered, and if one had attempted to write one's name there the marks would have been covered up.
Thirty, forty, forty-five miles per hour blew the wind carrying this heavy sand grit. Outside it positively stung the face and hands.
Evening came, and still the gale howled on. Lights appeared, but only served to show how innefective they were. The window sills were brown now. They seemed like mahogany, instead of the polished, creamy enamelled fittings they had been in the morning.
That is discomfort in the city. What must it be beyond the limits of the town, where new, tender crops are struggling through the parched earth?
The poor leaves choked with this driven dust, and no rain to cleanse them. That is what it means, literally, Homemaker, and the result is seen in the laconic report: "A heavy dust storm did more damage to crops, already nearly ruined, over a large area in Southern Saskatchewan."
A lull occurred in the early morning, and a gang of men went along the road beneath my windows, first scrapers with shovels, then sweepers, and finally men with a contraption like a garbage pail on wheels to cart the stuff away. They need not have troubled. Long before noon we were in it again, and not till this evening after 6 o'clock, did it really cease.
I travelled through it by train and carried a light slicker. It was green when I got on at Regina, and brown when I arrived. Looking at myself in the mirror whence I reached my room here, I found I had lost every grey hair in my head - it was a uniform dusty brown.
Cockney.
Thank you, Cockney, this is very interesting - and terrible, too.

=== Everyday Magic. ===
A star shone on a stormy night,
A star
Steadfast, serene, amid a world of
drifting clouds
It gleamed afar;
And to a sould on darkness tossed,
On seas of doubt, and almost lost,
It brought the thought, "God still
abides,
Steadfast o'er life's tumultuous tides,"
Because a star
'Mid storms shone bright.

<h2><span class="mw-headline">THE HOME FORUM</span></h2>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">A DUST STORM IN THE WEST</span></h3>
<pre>Dear Homemaker: Have any of our neighbors seen a real dust storm? Not just a flurry of sudden toy whirlwind that sometimes hits us at King and Yonge Streets, and is over by the time we get to Dundas, but a real, honest-to-goodness storm that envelopes a whole city, I mean. the past twenty-four hours, or thereabouts, I have lived in one, and it seems to me it might not only interest the neighbors to hear about it, but also help some of us to realize what our Western farmers are suf-, fering in Southern Saskatchewan.
Wednesday morning broke clear and bright, and by 9 o'clock it was hot, registering up toward 80 degrees, and by 11 well over 90 degrees. A gentle wind blew, and seemed to come out of an overheated oven some-where in the west.
From my room window, high up in the luxurious hotel, I looked out lover the city, and in the far distance could see a light, curious, brown cloud, and as I gazed the breeze rapidly increased to a strong wina, and presently a gale-still hot, and very uncomfortable. By 2 o'clock it was fairly howling round every corner, and the light brown cloud had become a dark, threatening and rapidly advancing gloom.
In a few minutes a maid rapped at the door with: "Please close your windows, a big storm is coming from Moose Jaw" (I was then in Re-gina), and in less than fifteen minutes I was witnessing my first dust storm.
The hotel faces a fine square, in the centre of which stands the war memorial-perhaps a hundred yards from the door.
The gloom settled to a deep brown shadow. Trees bent before it, grass flattened, and the sun paled to a faint white ball hanging like a phosphorescent football in the sky. The war memorial was invisible. People who had perforce to venture out went with bowed heads, holding their hats, and struggling with wildly flapping garments.
</pre>
<pre>Brown grit seeped in everywhere. Even in my room my teeth gritted with it, and I could feel it in my hair, despite closed windows!
</pre>
<pre>The spotless bed coverlet and linen were dusted with it, the dressing table was covered, and if one had attempted to write one's name there the marks would have been covered up.
</pre>
<pre>Thirty, forty, forty-five miles per hour blew the wind carrying this heavy sand grit. Outside it positively stung the face and hands.
Evening came, and still the gale howled on. Lights appeared, but only served to show how innefective they were. The window sills were brown now. They seemed like mahogany, instead of the polished, creamy enamelled fittings they had been in the morning.
That is discomfort in the city. What must it be beyond the limits of the town, where new, tender crops are struggling through the parched earth?
</pre>
<pre>The poor leaves choked with this driven dust, and no rain to cleanse them. That is what it means, literally, Homemaker, and the result is seen in the laconic report: "A heavy dust storm did more damage to crops, already nearly ruined, over a large area in Southern Saskatchewan."
A lull occurred in the early morning, and a gang of men went along the road beneath my windows, first scrapers with shovels, then sweepers, and finally men with a contraption like a garbage pail on wheels to cart the stuff away. They need not have troubled. Long before noon we were in it again, and not till this evening after 6 o'clock, did it really cease.
I travelled through it by train and carried a light slicker. It was green when I got on at Regina, and brown when I arrived. Looking at myself in the mirror whence I reached my room here, I found I had lost every grey hair in my head - it was a uniform dusty brown.
</pre>
<pre> Cockney.
</pre>
<pre>Thank you, Cockney, this is very interesting - and terrible, too.

=== Tuesday 8 April. === Ploughed part of the Long Croft today. Went Employee taking up Turnips. There will hardly be enough to sow till the grass be ready. Thin parts of Oats shewing briers today.
=== Monday 14 April. === All the Turnips sown today. Thrashed out half a rick of Potato Oats and Winnowed and Cleaned 10 Rolls for the market on Friday. Sold at 15/s a Boll. In the afternoon Harrowing and ploughing for the last of the Oats for the BarleCleaning Turnip seeds. It is impossible to be too positive on this point. It ought to be winnowed & sifted until no vestige of any other matter be seen amongst the seed.
Saturday 19. April 1834. Commenced sowing the upper part of the Long Croft with Oats (common). Sold two 3 year old Meers or young Stots, to Mr. Calves, Butcher Aberdeen @ 12£ 10s each - a very good price, but very good cattle. There are now three of our Cows Calved - very late.
Monday 21. April. Harrowing the Long Croft - Rolling Field No. 1. Bair looking well in consequence of some nice showers which fell on Saturday & yesterday. Sowed 4 Acres of the Long Croft with Barley Beer. He a Boll to the acre. The whole of this field now sown. Miscellaneous sowing & Croft seeds and rolling & Harrowing every body busy being the last day of the Lent Season.

on this farm. -
Tuesday 22nd April - Men turning & driving dung, and slaking lime shells. -
Ploughed a part of the potatoe field. - Ploughed ten furrows myself. - Eggs in the Tewheet's nest. -
Wednesday 23rd April 1834. Go to town today
Thursday 1 May 1834. Returned to Coldstream from Aberdeen.
Potatoes planting. -
Ploughing land for turnips with 4 Horses yoking.
Saturday 10 May 1844 From 1st till this date the general routine of farm work. Yesterday the cattle were put upon the grass, which is looking very bare and dry, but the few heavy showers which came on last night will make a great difference on it soon. The poor animals, who for the last 10 days have had nothing but straw looked wery melancholy all that time for want of green food, the turnips being all done. Went with Cauldie to my brother James's over to Mr. Sanderson's roof at Swain. Three milch cows sold here as high as twelve pounds six on average.
Monday 12 May 1844. Sold Mr Gibb at Bridge of Die, seven stott at nine pounds a head. To be sent over on Wednesday 14th for the roup at Kilduthie which takes place on Thursday.
Wednesday 14 May - Went to Tillyoch, Parish of Echt, to Mr Strachan's roup of displenish. - a very dull sale, and terrible rains - cattle giving not near their value.
Returned home at 7 P.M. soaked to the skin.
Thursday 15 May 1844. Kilduthie's roup took place today. - A perfect antipodes to that at Tillyoch. Everything sold very high particularly Cauldie's stotts - none of which sold under nine and some above twelve pounds. Mr Thomson, Kincrigford judge at both of these roups.
The country since yesterday is quite changed in its appearance all things looking green and fruitful, and every prospect of plenty for man and beast. - the calves were this day

put out for the first time. It is necessary to have a person in the field with them and to tether them with a rope, as their heads are very light through confinement and are in consequence apt to hurt themselves in running round.
Saturday 17 May 1844. Yesterday & today very rainy. Finished ploughing the park for turnips beside the Clachan, & commenced ploughing the park on the head of the hill. All the weeds were burnt on Thursday. Mem: Weeds cannot be too carefully picked off, and all hands should be employed for a day or two in dry weather after the Brackets arrow has been going in collecting. Fallowing the land is excellent in destroying weeds, but great care must be taken in the operations on it - see Fallow.

== 1834 September 20 ==
Quebec - arrived here this day at 8 A.M.
Same evening sailed for Montreal in the Splendid Steam Ship "Canada" and arrived there on Sunday morning the 22nd at 3 o'clock A.M.
=== 22 === We encountered a severe storm of wind, lightning & thunder with rain on Sunday evening and during all that morning, were detained in Lake St. Peter by thick weather.
=== 23 ===
At Montreal
=== 24 ===
Left Montreal at 5 in morning for the West Country by the Ottawa Route and arrived at Lachine at 7.--
=== 26 ===
Arrived at Bytown U Canada and were prevented proceeding up Country by the sickness of children & the want of a boat.
=== 30 ===
Removed to Lower By Town to a house rented from Mr. Cleggs.
== October 16==
James Davidson's family arrived this evening, having had a passage of 7 weeks and two days to Quebec.
=== 18 === Saturday. The Davidsons departed to day for Toronto, on their way to the farm which their Brothers have purchased at Coxes Creek 45 miles from Hamilton.
The appearance of the sky to day has been most extraordinary. The sun during the forenoon was of a blood red color, and about one O'Clock it became as dark as gloaming, the clouds of dingy copper color, and at times, hot and sulphurous breaths of wind came from N.W. The darkness continued till 4 P.M. when the evening again cleared up. It had all the appearance of an Eclipse of the Sun.
=== 23 === Wednesday. The stove arrived to day from Montreal and was fitted up and lighted - smoked abominably at first.

Here the harrow was used before the plough because the field had been in hay short the year before, and this required to be laid down that the corn might get up before the grass and weeds. In all lands where rank grass and weeds prevail the plough must first be used, then the Harrow to turn down the weeds and cover them thoroughly, and as soon after this as possible the plough again.</td>

<p>Any person at all acquainted with the details of a farm will at once see that this place has been ill used. The proportion of land for turnips is out of all proportion.</p>
<p>=== Wednesday 19 March 1844. === Harrowed out Field No. 2 with Scotch Barley say 7½ Acres or about 7 Bolls. Winnowing wheat was thrashed yesterday - say 14 Bolls. I filled the fanners with the whole - very hard work Harrows going all day - finished both the parks sown.</p>
<p>=== Thursday 20 March 1844. === Tired today that I have over worked myself yesterday - very unwell and stiff in all my limbs worked home today. Afternoon went over to Anguston - who was at the Cairns - Queen Anne went to Mart Mill of Cruden and got a load of meal from that to the maes where we found Laugabow and Bogton very merry - drank a glass of grog with them and called to see Robt. Welsh who was gone into town for advice about his eyes. Thence called on the Schoolmaster and at 8 P.M. arrived at home very very weary.</p>
<p>=== Friday 21 March 1844 === Tired myself worse today having slept scarcely any all night - walked over to the Castle Garden, but quite unable to work. Candler and the Carts into town for lime</p>
<p>=== Monday 24. March === Out at the plough on Peter Crofts. Sowing by Caulet in the evening. Lay 3 Rolls Oats. Ploughed a little myself.</p>
<p>=== Tuesday === Go to Town</p>
</div>
<div class="mw-parser-output">
<p>=== Tuesday 1. April 1834. === Walked from town this morning - Found the Oat sowing all over the Clear Land 21: the ground which was in Turnip last year. Were gathering stones and preparing for the plough. This field contains 13½ acres, four of which are intended for Barley Beer. In the afternoon the Harrows going over it in order that the ploughing may be more uniform. The first fine showers which have fallen this spring.</p>
<p>=== Friday 4th April. === Since Tuesday continues ploughing. Now Harrowing down the Oats which have been sown this morning on the lower or North end of the Park. - N. B. From its size called the Long Croft. Fine showers all day.</p>
<p>=== Tuesday 8 April. === Ploughed part of the Long Croft today. Went Employee taking up Turnips. There will hardly be enough to sow till the grass be ready. Thin parts of Oats shewing briers today.</p>
<p>=== Monday 14 April. === All the Turnips sown today. Thrashed out half a rick of Potato Oats and Winnowed and Cleaned 10 Rolls for the market on Friday. Sold at 15/s a Boll. In the afternoon Harrowing and ploughing for the last of the Oats for the BarleCleaning Turnip seeds. It is impossible to be too positive on this point. It ought to be winnowed & sifted until no vestige of any other matter be seen amongst the seed.</p>
<p>Saturday 19. April 1834. Commenced sowing the upper part of the Long Croft with Oats (common). Sold two 3 year old Meers or young Stots, to Mr. Calves, Butcher Aberdeen @ 12£ 10s each - a very good price, but very good cattle. There are now three of our Cows Calved - very late.</p>
<p>Monday 21. April. Harrowing the Long Croft - Rolling Field No. 1. Bair looking well in consequence of some nice showers which fell on Saturday & yesterday. Sowed 4 Acres of the Long Croft with Barley Beer. He a Boll to the acre. The whole of this field now sown. Miscellaneous sowing & Croft seeds and rolling & Harrowing every body busy being the last day of the Lent Season.</p>

<p>Tuesday 22nd April - Men turning & driving dung, and slaking lime shells. - Ploughed a part of the potatoe field. - Ploughed ten furrows myself. - Eggs in the Tewheet's nest. -</p>
<p>Wednesday 23rd April 1834. Go to town today</p>
<p>Thursday 1 May 1834. Returned to Coldstream from Aberdeen. Potatoes planting. - Ploughing land for turnips with 4 Horses yoking.</p>
<p><br />Saturday 10 May 1844 From 1st till this date the general routine of farm work. Yesterday the cattle were put upon the grass, which is looking very bare and dry, but the few heavy showers which came on last night will make a great difference on it soon. The poor animals, who for the last 10 days have had nothing but straw looked wery melancholy all that time for want of green food, the turnips being all done. Went with Cauldie to my brother James's over to Mr. Sanderson's roof at Swain. Three milch cows sold here as high as twelve pounds six on average.</p>
<p>Monday 12 May 1844. Sold Mr Gibb at Bridge of Die, seven stott at nine pounds a head. To be sent over on Wednesday 14th for the roup at Kilduthie which takes place on Thursday.</p>
<p><br />Wednesday 14 May - Went to Tillyoch, Parish of Echt, to Mr Strachan's roup of displenish. - a very dull sale, and terrible rains - cattle giving not near their value. Returned home at 7 P.M. soaked to the skin.</p>
<p><br />Thursday 15 May 1844. Kilduthie's roup took place today. - A perfect antipodes to that at Tillyoch. Everything sold very high particularly Cauldie's stotts - none of which sold under nine and some above twelve pounds. Mr Thomson, Kincrigford judge at both of these roups. The country since yesterday is quite changed in its appearance all things looking green and fruitful, and every prospect of plenty for man and beast. - the calves were this day</p>

<div class="mw-parser-output">
<p>put out for the first time. It is necessary to have a person in the field with them and to tether them with a rope, as their heads are very light through confinement and are in consequence apt to hurt themselves in running round.</p>
<p><br />Saturday 17 May 1844. Yesterday & today very rainy. Finished ploughing the park for turnips beside the Clachan, & commenced ploughing the park on the head of the hill. All the weeds were burnt on Thursday. Mem: Weeds cannot be too carefully picked off, and all hands should be employed for a day or two in dry weather after the Brackets arrow has been going in collecting. Fallowing the land is excellent in destroying weeds, but great care must be taken in the operations on it - see Fallow.</p>

<p>=== 18 === Saturday. The Davidsons departed to day for Toronto, on their way to the farm which their Brothers have purchased at Coxes Creek 45 miles from Hamilton. The appearance of the sky to day has been most extraordinary. The sun during the forenoon was of a blood red color, and about one O'Clock it became as dark as gloaming, the clouds of dingy copper color, and at times, hot and sulphurous breaths of wind came from N.W. The darkness continued till 4 P.M. when the evening again cleared up. It had all the appearance of an Eclipse of the Sun.</p>
<p>=== 23 === Wednesday. The stove arrived to day from Montreal and was fitted up and lighted - smoked abominably at first.</p>
