Pas- ture improvement and management deserve any dairy- man's attention. But for long-term results, ,even the best pasture requires some supplemental feeding . . and poorer pastures, of course, require more. do_ A cow must get more dry solids' than she can get out of pasture, or she draws heavily on her body, and runs herself down in weight and condition. Then She drops off in milk; and you can't get her up again, no matter how well you feed, until you build that lost weight and condition back in. That's slow -and expen- sive. bettecto feed her first than last. ' So ' Purina suggests: 1, Feed good hay even on good pasture, if you have• it, 2, Feed Bulky-Las, a gallon higlit and morning. Cows will eat it, when they refuse hay, 3, As Soon as caws will eat it after turning -aut, begin feeding dairy ration, (Many good dairymen feed Bulky-Las and grain, half-and-half, while pastures are good., and switch. to rnilk,stirriulating dairy ration when pastures grow sheirt, and dry.)

To my mind, he Was, oneeef the, few great teachers it has been my privilege to know. -As I look back -over the years, it seems to me that Mr. Baker had everything. He Was thoroly and splendidly. equipped in a scholastic way. He had ppise; and when ee asked that a thing be done, and done well,-it had to be that- way. At the same time' he was' no tyrant. - He had the good sense to see anther's point •of view, even.. if ,etf were a small boy's, as I was at that time, I think alniost-- all of his pupils• loved him. No' doubt 'Mr. Baker had his faults (wee under Heaven hasn't) but if he had, I didn't see -theme* To me he -was "The Mes'e- ee." - . Mr. Baker left Hayfield School the fall of 1892, the year the upper part of the old school was' built. ere was succeeded' by' Mr. David Rennie. As I remember, Mr. Renr nie' had a large family. He was very fend of singing and did much in both rooms to promote that part of instruction.

MISS WOODS: - - In ,your letter .yeu,state, that my ':good friend, Jim Cameron, made l'efereace to me during the dedica' Lion exercises` of yotte fine new 'school May 31st, I had hoped to 'be there at that time, but ,circum- stances prevented our attending. When I go to Hayfield the next time, after shaking hands with a few erienas, the first thing' I wish to do is to visit your flaw $ehool, / ere sure it is an achievement of which you are all justly very proud. Whatever reference Jim made to me and my work, am quite ewe there is one thing that he did not say, and that is that 'he, Jim Cameron, had a large part in my returning to school after a lapse of many years to be exact, from? June '1898 until January 1906. We corresponded from Mardi-190e Unti1,1906, and I never hada 'letter from him in which he did not advise me to go back to school, We have always been friends, largely becatise our inter- ests lay along the same lines. We, I believe, understood each , other; we always have. NOW I shall pro- celd to answer your questions. I -started to school after the , . else." In my humble way I have tried to do just that. • After leaving school I worked with my father from 1898 until March 1904 when, as Horace Greely once advised, I decided to go west and grow up ' with the country. I already 'had various relatives in North Dakota so thought, I'd feel Most at home there. On° March 18, 1904, with David H. Leitch as, my companion, I Was westward bound, Soon eftee arriving I went to work on the farm of. Peter Wild who had come, from the Sauble Line, SO again I was among friends. Here I stayed for two years until' the fall of 1905. That fall my ,`uncle, Wellington , John- stbri, decide-a to go back to Hay- field for the winter,, so I agreed to look after 'his stock while he was am/Ay. , A,sceool had been est- alblished in the new town of Nek- oma; so I took advantage of - its futilities and .attended classes for three ..month's. By the end of March I was ready to take a teacher's examin- ation. As a result L obtained, my teacher's centificate and began my duties as a teacher in a small country school April 25, 1906. That summer a, new school was built in Nekoma. When it was opened Jdnuary 3, 1907 I .had beeir hired as its first teacher. I remained bete for three terms. I then real- ized that in .order to continue in the teaching: profession I would haye to become better prepared. In the fall 'of 1909 I entered Jamestown College, a Presbyterian School at Jamestowne N, ,,Dak. This opened up a new life to me, and I loved it . I 'graduated in 1915, now qualified to teach in any high school in the state, and auto- matically in any other state. In the meantime Nekoma School had reached , a point where it was ready to establish . a high school, and The Board of Education asked me to be its first Principal. • I accepted the offer, and for many reasons have considered the choice a wise one. Here I have remaine.d these many years, teaching in Nekoma High School until my re- tirement in 1945. In my long car- eer of `35 years I have never earn- ed a, dollar outside of this district. Now a few words about -my family. I met my wife the first day I was at College. We were married Jpne 28, '1916, She" too was a teacher and has been a great help to me in my school Work. We have a family of one daughter and four sons, The daughter is married to a farmer and lives in this community: WOULDN'T THIS JAR YOUR SEWER?

The sons, Char- les, Herbert, and Jack have all married teachers, We don't know yet what Bill will do, but I don't believe he will be outdone by his brothers. I think, now, I•, have answered all the questions that you asked, and may I say it has been a. pleas- ure to, do so. The influence' of the Hayfield School of the past shall never die. • Let us hope and pray that in the years to come an even brighter day shall becicon on the. many who will, pass through.

He was probably not the great Master Walter Bak- er was, but he wasel fine gentle- man, and because of his manly qualities endeared himself to the big majority of his pupils. He was there in 1894 - and 4,895. , In 1896 A:E. Thompson becarne Principal. I do :'not knew; and .1, don't" believe I ewe' did know, what the initials, A.'Ed stood for. Thompson was 'a very- differ- ent type from any we had had up to that time. He was deeply re- ligious, a reat student, and 'schol- ar, ea fine'public speaker. But. I am sure he was never very popular 'While' at Bayfield, either imeehool or outside Of, school; Because of his dark complexion, he was nick- „named 'Nigger” Thompson. Of course heeresented it greatly, but, as I remember it, that didn't help. He resigned in 1897 in mid-year to prepare for the Christian min- istry. I heard his Preach just once,- and I must say I thought he was einagnificeet. Personally I likedehim very much. It was dur- ing his'principalship that I wrote and passed the entrance, examina- tions in 1896. The term "entrance" at that time meant 'entrance to any certified high School or col- legiate institute, I was out of school a year, and when I returned Mr. George W, Holman, who had taught twenty year's in Ushorne Township, was Principal. Iedid one year's work under Mr. Holman atid, that was my last schooling in Bayfield. But it was a great year. The work I did that year, 1897-98, gave me credit for nearly two years' work in the College Academy at James- town when I enrolled there in the fall of 1909. Mr. Holman prelims- ed the credits and sent them to the Registrar at the Academy, and You may be sure I have been more than grateful to him.' It was .a big help at a time when I really eeeded it. In closing this section of my letter, may I just add that my debt to the teachers whom I have mentioned is incalculable, and to the school, its board members, and the tax payers who made my ed- ucation there possible, words fail to express my deep appreciation. Perhaps it can, best be' stated in the words of my very good friend, Dean Taylor of Jamestown Col- lege, who, on an occasion' when he had been very generous to me and I was thanking him' most profus- ely, said', "Don't bother thanking me; lust pass it on to some one Fag ••.. — 1955 PONTIAC POWERGLIDE SEDAN, Jully, j955 PONTIAC DELUXE SEDAN $$21:909955 equipped , , ' „ , 1955 PONTIAC DELUXE SEDAN $1,950 1955 CHEVROLET SEDAN $1,925 1955 CHEVROLET SEDAN, fully equipped $1,895 1954 CHEVROLET COACH, powerglide, fully equipped $1,495 1952 CHEVROLET Powerglide Convertible, fully equipped $1,495 1952 PLYMOUTH Sedan ' $ 995 1952..
