The above is. a picture of the Exe-
ter.Dell Telephone Office. Tlie mana-
ger, •Mr. Geo. Lawson is standing in

trict installer and at the rear his
assstant' Mr, B..Ruppei. Seated at
the'' witch board are 'Miss Mary Mc-
Kaig and Miss Olive Lawson, .opera-
tors.
The Bell Telephone company had
their beginning in Exeter about 1889
when a switchboard was installed in
the Sanders building with Mr. Reba
Hicks acting as branch manager.
After a few years • the switchboard
was moved to the Fanson block
where it remained until 1917. About
the year 1905 M. Arnold Marchand
became branch manager succeeding
Mr. Hicks. At that time there were
about 50 telephones. tlfr. Marchand
continued until the year 1914 and
udder his managership the local of-
fice showed an increase of ,35 tele-
phones. In 1914 Mr. Jas. Lawson
became the branch manager and in
1917 Me. Lawson bought the Carl-
ing block. from Mr. Geo. Bedford
and the telepbone office was moved
to the rear of his jewellery business.
The switchboard remained there un-
til 1926 when. the Bell Telephone de-
cided on fitting up an office to be

used exclusively for the telephone
business. The latest type of switch
board with two positions as shown
in the above picture was installed in
the present comfortable quarters.
During the early days• of the tele-
phone, service was given daily from.
7 atm. to 10 p.m. with the exception
of Sundays when it was open from 2
to 4 p.m. Continuous day and nighe
service was inaugurated in 1911, the
night service being for emergency
only. In 1911 the Thames Road
rural lines numbering five were
built by the late Dr. H. K. Hyndman.
A sixth has since been added.
Switching for these lines was done
at Exeter office. At present there
is switching connection for 400 tele-
phones. I11 1925 the present mana-
ger Mr. Geo. Lawson came to Exeter
from the West and 111.1926 succeed-
ed Mr. Jas. Lawson as manager. Mr.
Lawson is a very capable manager
whose aim seems to be to give
the best of service to the subscribers.
Everywhere lie is highly spoken of.
Miss Mary McKaig is his capable as-
sistant.

al six or eight thousand dollars for

How to" Produce Layers
Poultry farmers will find it pro-
fitable 'for the purpose of building
up the laying capacity of their
flocks, to select the best laying hens
of the flock and mate them with
males from heavy -laying stock. In
one experiment, fifteen of the best
layers were set apart for the produc-
tion of hatching eggs and„were mat-
ed with the sons of heavy laying
liens. The first year of the test the
fifteen best hens laid `an average of
123.6 eggs and five yders later the
yield of the best fifteen had gone
up to 246.2 eggs per hen.
New tics For Barley
Until recently the use of barley
on the farm was restricted to the
feeding of live stock. Iii Germany,
.however, barley es used for a multi-
tude of peirposes. Millions of bu-
shels y,etirly aro used in• the manu-
facture of malt coffee: Besides
this an enormous qu.autity of the
grain is used in the manufacture of
bread, breakfast foods, biscuits, in-
fant and invalid preparations, tonics,
condiments and food .preserves. In
view of this, it would seem that bar-
ley is destined to occupy a position
of decreasing importance in all farm
rotations that may • be Wised with
a view to obtaining some relief from
the weed scourge.

Canadian Hogs Improve
The gradual increase in the num-
ber- of select bacon hogs indicates
two things, namely: better breeding
stock and more attention to rations.
Competitions conducted last summer
show that there is a very good pro-
fit over the cost of feed if the pigs
are bred right and have the neces-
sary feeds in the right proportion.
Although Danish bacon still brings
a. 'higher price than Canadian on the
British market, the quality of our
bacotl is constantly improving• and
prospects are that with the improve-
ments that have already been taking
place, the time is not far distant
when Canadian bacon will be on an
equal plane With that of any country
in the world.

With the coming of winter, fire

York County is reputed to hav'
more great young Jersey bulls than
any other county in America,, . Once
reason is that there are three`' Bagg
herds in the county and for two de-
cades only outstanding sires have
been used in these herds. Produc-
tion combined with show ring qual-
ity is considered essential, therefore
sires are selected only from families
known both in the show ring and at
the pail.
An outstan-cling feature of the re-
cent ,International Live Stock Show

Cost of Yearling Heifers

a high price to pay for a yearling
heifer, but if site has boon reared

Per development, this price is little
enough. Indeed, when the; costs.
are all taken into consideration
there is no profit in selling a cele
