There are several reasons for
including 8 to 10 lbs.. of dry hay in
the daily ration of the dairy cow..
A high level of fibre in the diet
increases the am,ount of acetic
acid in the rumen.. Acetic .acid is
the forerunner of butterfat.: On
• the other hand, a !Ow fibre diet
produces
as
acid which
ends up as fat on the cow's back.
Thus a high fibre ration plays a
major role in bringing .about a
. high butterfat content in TOIL-
Dry. hay helps to keep the
rumen active. The rumen seems
to work best when the contents
have' a very slightly acid
-condition. Feeding hay helps tb
maintain this statc'as the result—

A basic guide to the Who, What, Where, When
and Why of Shopping Canadian.
Why should you Shop Canadian?
Every time you buy something made in
Canada, you help keep a Canadian working.
You help keep Canadian money inside
Canada. You help to expand and strengthen
Canada's economy.
When you think about it, you help yourself.
What is made in Canada?
just about everything you need to help
you live the life yosj want.
As the saying goes, we have no bana-
nas, but we do have Apples, Bandages,
Cranes, Drills, Elevators, Furniture,
Glassware, Holiday resorts, insulation,
jewellery, Kitchen appliances, Lumber,
Machinery, Newspapers, Office equip-
ment, Potatoes, Quilts, Rope, Steel,Tires,
Umbrellas, Vaccines, Wines, X-Ray
equipment, Yarns, and Zippers.
Everything, in other words, from A to Z.

When shoUld you Shop Canadian?
Whenever you're satisfied that the product
br service you need is
(A) made or grown in Canada and
(B) of equal or better value and quality.
That's not just good advice... it's good
sense.
Who should Shop Canadian?
Every day, most of us have the choice.
Whether we're buying groceries for the
home or supplies for business, farm or
industry.
If each of us added only $10 a week to
Canadian made purchases, Canada
would be over 10 billion dollars better
off in just one year.
Who should Shop Canadian?
You.should.
Where does it say Made in Canada?
Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes a sign says
"Produce of P.E.1." Or "B.C. Apples" or
"Fabrique au Quebec" or "Made in Manitoba"
or "New Brunswick Sardines" or "Grown by
Saskatchewan Farmers" or "A product of
Alberta" or "Freih from Newfoundland" or
"Manufactured in Ontario" or "Nova Scotia
Lobster."
The point is, if you take the trouble to find
out, you can usually tell.
And, if it's made anywhere in the ten
Province's or the Territories, it is made in
Canada,
This ad was made in Canada. Making this ad employed
(for a period of time) a writer, an art director, an
account executive, a media buyer, a media planner,

at the other end of the table said .that perhaps a few others
in the country did not even have bread and milk.4
Today, I think tho.se "bones for.the dog' are called stew-
ing beef and they, cost a dollar-or more a pound, by jove.•
Ask for a few bones for your dog today and the supermarket
Manager will point you to the dog-food shelves which hold
more meat than I saw' as a child. .
- Either that or kick you out of his store. Or kick both you
and your dog out.
I remember the candy, though. That Saturday cent was
"spent" every day of the week. The candy counter in the
corner grocery store was right at the frontdoor. That Scots-
man knew his stuff. Kids like me would wander in the front
door two or three times during the week and stand with our
runny noses pressed against the glass making great deci-
sions as to what we would spend our money on come Satur-
day.
Remember the hard-hats? Remember Old=Fashioneds?
They were two for a cent and a hard-hat could last almost
all day. Well, it seemed like all day. And -you could get eight
•jelly beans fora penny. Heck, if you could scare up a nickel
in those days, you could incur a mild form of sugar coma of
an afternoon. Perhaps you would squander on an ice
cream cone, the kind they charge 30 Or 40 cents for in the
shopping malls_ today-Of-course, •they wrap it-in a--fancy-
' lace-like doily making you think you're_getting something
special foryour money. _
Maybe I am getting old, Maybe it's time I quit talking
to my daughter about Depression days. Certainly; she can
buy little in stores today for a penny or a nickel.
• Maybe I was lucky she only asked for a quarter and not a
dollar. I must learn to be grateful for small mercies.
This nostalgia craze is making an old man of me before
my time. • •
Our 11-year-old asked for a quarter the other day and it
was all I could do to stop myself from giving her a lecture
on the value of money.
You know the script? It starts with: "Listen hear, young
lady! When I was your age, I got .a Saturday cent and that
is all I gotl," •
This is followed by a long sigh from the young one, a bored
look heavenward asking fora quick rescue and a remark to
the effect, that she really doesn't care what it was like "in
the olden days."
Which makes me feel' s though I have lived through the
Boer War yet still 25 years short of three-score-years-and-10.
Were they really olden days?
I can remember being, sent to the corner grocery store
With 11 cents and a-milk bottle and coming home with a quart
of milk, back when milk was sold in glass bottles,..before it

' often leak and refuse to pour straight for me.
The same corner grocery store owner was a stout, kindly
Scotsman who• actually gave things_away occasionally such
as banes for our various dogs. We often got a handful of suet,
too, at no cost, which was hung outside for the birds. As I
recall it, the grocer was happy to give the bones and the suet
awaybecauSete-got-grocery orders for a family
I recall, too, my thrifty Yorkshire-horn mother saying that
