If you had only 23 acres of pas- ture land, would you dare to un- dertake to raise 169 head of dairy cattle on it? H. G. Wilde of Lenox, Massach- usetts, did just that by invoking the old proverb of taking the mountain to Mohammed rather than Mohammed to the rnountin. Wilde's Jersey herd hasn't been on an outdoor pasture for years. Instead, he keeps the cows in the barn almost the year round, feed- ing them field -chopped grasses and legumes harvested from the 23 acres twice daily with a field chopper equipped with a cutter bar. According to the Agricultur- al News, the small acreage is heavily fertilized and often yields four cuttings a year. Cattle are fed all the grass they can eat plus four or five pounds of dry hay per head per day. In addition, Wilde is able to market 150 tons of hay per year. The.animals are Spring Weddings Cupido- Bakker The marriage of Jacobus Cupido, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cupido, Dor- drecht, Holland, and Bakke, dau- ghter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bak- ker, Wingham was solemnized in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Clinton, on Sunday afternoon, Ap- ril 26, by Rev, George Hoytema, minister of the Christian Reform congregation, in the presence of that congregation. The bride ware a gown of nylon sheer satin with smoothly rounded neckline, her bridal veil caught with a headdress of flowers, with full skirt fashioned in a sweeping line ending in a brief train, She wore white shoes and lace gloves, and carried a purse matching her dress and a bouquet of white and pink carnations. The young couple were unat- tended and following the service and social gathering of friends, will leave for Western Canada to make their home in Edmonton, Alberta. The high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Cupida are held was shown by her minister, by the presentation to Mrs. Cupido of a beautifully bound Bible, for her service in Sunday School teaching and young women's leadership, Having been employed at the Clinton Public Hospital for some time, Mrs, Cupido's fellow work- ers there, presented Mrs. Cupido with a silver bread tray, last week. • Mr. Cupido has been engaged with Timms Construction Comp- any, and 'previous to his marriage, both the workers and the office of the company • presented him and his bride-to-be with a nest of tables and a table lamp trimmed with red leather. Mr. and Mrs. Cupido leave with the good wishes of many friends. exercised in a 14 -acre "lounging" paddock apart from the 23 acres used for grass production. The herd's production figures last year showed an average on 163 cows of 9,673 pounds of milk and 517.7 pounds Of butter fat on twice -a -day milking. Wilde feels that barn feeding coupled with the practice of keep- ing his herd stabled at night re- sults in higher and more uniform production. Keeping the herd in ventilated and fly -free stables helps avoid production slumps due to bad weather and irritation by a wide variety of flies. He maintains that rotational grazing with a herd of 160 would involve considerable fencing, lab- or and sizable acreage. Large pastures mean long walks to ar•d from the barn and a cow could easily "walk off" plenty of pro- duction. o - From 1939 to current fiscal year federal government spending in- creased from $553 million to an estimated $4,462 million. • Less than one fourth of Can- ada's known hydro electric re- sources are in use.

The grant of $10,811 to the Wing - ham hospital will 'make possible the purchase of an autoclave or steam sterilizer, operating table, cbstetrical table, suction and ether unit, two operating-roomlamps and water -sterilizing unit. The rim equipment will replace units which have become obsolete or beyond repair. The hospital staff, headed by superintendent Iris E. Morrey, proudly points out they have never tt.rned away a patient, and this has become increasingly evident in the past four years. The hospital has a capacity of 48 beds but it served an average of 45.5 patients each day in 1948; 52.9 in 1949; 65.7 in 1950; 70 in 1951, and Inst year cared for an average of 73.8 patients each day. Despite the addition of an $112,000, three-storey wing of 20 beds in 1946, the hospital is so crowded that beds must some• times be .placed in railways, in the radiology. department and in waiting rem's.. To expand facilities, the hospi, tal built a $50,000 nurses' resi, dence last year, plans p $94,000 laundry and heating `plant this year and Dopes to start next year on a $400,000 wing of 50 beds. To finance these projects, hospital of- ficials f .ficials say they have received gen- erous support from the 2,600 resi- dents and the 15,000 persons with- in a 20 -mile radius served by the hospital. The hospital, which last year admitted 1,805 patients, is staffed by 14 doctors, 14 registered nur- ses, 20 student nurses and 16 nurses' aides. It was established as •a tenbed institution in 1904 by a group of Wingham area doctors and is now administered by a 12 -man board, headed by F. L. Davidson, chair- man for the past six years, chosen from the community. TNECalVEtt SPORTS COLUMN 5effieft 7eveed,oft The afternoon of Saturday, May 2, will be the occasion of the seventy-ninth running of the Kentucky Derby, at Churchill Downs, Louisville. Scores of thousands of out-of-town novelty M t seekers will be present. Perhaps local r ; and visiting attendance will lift the total to more than 100,000. And it's all about a race that doesn't seem to deserve the attention, publicity and money lavished upon it. For the Derby isn't a derby, to begin with—not in the requirements of distance, for example. Of course, in America, the term "derby" has come to be used very loosely, and very frequently. All sorts of tracks have a ".derby" annually. But few, if any, parallel the daddy of all derbies, the Epsom -Downs race, in the matter of distance. This Kentucky Derby, run annually on the first Saturday of May furnishes the first test of three -year-olds over the distance of one and one-quarter miles. This is one-fourth of a mile short of the regular Derby distance as established by the English classic run at Epsom Downs, from which the name "derby" is derived. The English race is at a mile and a half, and is raced in early Julie. The Kentucky race occurs almost too early for eligible females of this age to compete on equal terms with colts. And it is too early to condition even the males of the species for a 10 -furlong struggle. You may thing that transportation difficulties are annoy- ing now. But back in 1875, the year the Derby was first run as a modest little race, the sporting folks of the era who attended really had grief. The "Louisville Jockey Club race- track" since labeled Churchill Downs, was so far from the city that horse-drawn street cars required two hours to make the trip. Many of the customers started to walk the distance early in the morning. Others went in wagons, buggies and on horseback. Attending the Derby in the seventies and eighties was a journey, not a trip. Arrangements for the race were primitive. There was, of course, nothing like a starting gate. Even "the web barrier of 40 years ago was unknown. The starter drew a line in the dirt across the track with the butt of 'the flag he used to start the field and then lined up the candidates well behind it. A walk-up start was the system. When "Col. Johnson of Nashville", the starter for the first of all Kentucky Derbies, got his field in alignment he flashed down his flag. A drum sounded the official start and the field was off. There were many other differences between the races of those early days, and now. It has gained in importance, in glamour, in attendance, and in speculative interest, so who are we to point out minor technical shortcomings of the continent's No. 1 glamour race?
