HE FELT MISERABLE
AFTER MEALS
Acute Indigestion Relieved
by Kruschen
1I'he treatment which put this man
right must surely be worth trying in
every case of digestion. Read what
he says:—
“Two years ag-o I suffered very
mu-ch from indigestion, loss of appe
tite, and a most severe pain in my
back. Food soured in my st-omach.
I felt most (miserable after* meals,
and had no desire or appetite for
them. A friend advised me to try
Kruschen -Salts. I did so, and I am
most happy to testify that after a
short time I felt the greatest relief.
I continued taking Kruschen till I
felt myelf quite better and a new
man. I -feel as light-hearted as 1
did twenty years ago.”—W.B.
What' Kruschen did for him it will
do for every body else who suffers
form indigestion as he did. The fact
is that “the little daily dose” lof
Kruschen first stimulates the flow of
gastric juices to aid digestion, and
then ensures a complete regular and
■unfailing elimination of all waste
matter every day.

Farm News
Autumn Wheat Showing
An examination of the autumn
wheat plots at the Central Experi
mental Farm reveals striking differ-
enes in their ability to- survive sev
ere winter and early conditions.
Such standard varieties as Dawson’s
Golden Chaff have been practically
wiped out here, while a -number of
newly developed varieties, bred
chiefly for hardiness, have come
through almost perfectly.
The Starling Menace
The steadily increasing number of
starlings in Ontario is causing con
siderable alarm in some regions.
Hon, Duncan Marshall recently stat
ed that Ontario Agricultural College
authorities are now conducting re
search in .chemicals which may event
ually be used to cut down their num
bers. While admitting the danger
■of loosing poison gas on the roosts
of the birds, he believed it to be,
he said, about the only satisfactory
method of dealing with them
Liquid Fertilizer For House Plants
(John F. Clark)
This fertilizer is given in response
to an oft repeated request'for a liq
uid fertilizer suitable for house
Plants, sweet peas, etc.
Nitrate of -Soda 3 parts, .Sulphate of
Potash 1 part.
Dissolve the mixture in water at
the rate of 1 ounce per gal. of water.
For garden crops this may be used
every two or three weeks, at the
"rate of 5 ,gallons per square rod;
for potted plants at the rate of one
to five fluid 'Ounces per 6 inch pot,
repeated, if necessary every 2 or 3
weeks.
If the soil is very rich, as from
heavy applications of rotted manure
and the plants -run to foliage, omit
the nitrate of soda from the formula.
Best Farm Competition
While the Richmond Hill Agricul
tural Society does not include a Fall
Fair, it is very active in other pro
jects. In March a Seed Show was
held, and a Spring Horse Show is an
swered for* May 24th. A Field Crop
Competition te being conducted with
Registered Oats,
-One of the objects listed in the
Agricultural Societies A-ct is “Com
petitions for the best or* best manag
ed farm,” and the Richmond Hill
Society is the only one functioning
in this respect in 1935. The officers
were well pleased with a sin\iliar
competition, conducted -in 1933, and
now offer prizes based on the culti
vation and apparent yield of crops,
freedom from weeds, crop planning,
the condition of fences and gates
and the neatness and general ap
pearance of the farm, A score card
has been planned to permit a good
farmer to compete even though he
may not have a heavy investment In
buildings. This competition will do
much to encourage all-round good
farming in the Agricultural Society
area.
The Hay Market
There is a poor demand foi* hay
and feeding straw and other rough
age due to lack of funds to purchase
hay. There is still a fairly large
supply of hay unsold in the Ottawa
Valley and Northern Ontario. It is
selling at prices as low as $7 per ton
delivered to the car at Ottawa Val
ley points. There is also a fair quan
tity of good hay available in the
Bruce peninsula. In most other lo
calities of the province there is
either a shortage or barely sufficient
for local needs, but delivered prices
are regarded as too high to entice
farmers to buy it.
■Current prices ex-tract Toronto
are: for No. 2 Timothy and mixtures
$14.50 to $15.50; No. 2 $12 to $13;
wheat straw $10; oat straw $8.50 to
$9,50.
Live Stock Market
As a result of drought conditions
in the United States there is now a
real shortage of beef and pork. The
rapid diminution! of supplies of the
cattle and hogs at all leading Unit
ed States stock yards indicates that
our good neighbors in the south
will be forced to adjust their Bleat
ing eating to include a large portion)
of lamb.
In Canada the situation is like
ly to follow along somewhat similiar
lines. Already as a result of the
rapid rise in the price of beef across
Canada and the firm condition of
the hog market due to heavy exports
of bacon to Great Britain and lower
how deliveries as compared with a
will be forced to adjust their meat
eating to include a large portion
hog deliveries as- compared with a
year ago, the position in regard to
the consumption of lamb is becom
ing increasingly favourable.
Lamb in both Canada and the
United Statesis, at the moment, a
bargain counter meat. In the United
States sheep flocks have withstood
drought' conditions much better than
other live stock while in Canada, as
a result of a definite and construc
tive sheep polcy, lamb 'in Canada
has been greatly improved and is
available the year round as early
spring lamb, as gress-fat lamb or as
finished feedlot lamb.
Potatoes in Simcoe County
Grading .regulations and modern
marketing conditions have dope
much in recent years to improve po
tato growing. Standard varieties are
being planted and better care is be
ing given to the crop. In Simcoe
County the Dooley potato has been
adopted with the object of improv
ing quality and yield now that ship
ments have to be graded. Stewart L.
Page, district representative of the
Department of Agriculture at Barrie
states that from 10,009 to 14,000
acres are under potatoes in Simcoe
County, much larger acreage than in
any county in the province. The
price this year is so low that it
scarcely pays to haul them to mar
ket, even if there were a market for
half the quantity now stored ip the
cellars of those who produced larger
than usual, owing to so much wheat
and clover being winter killed a yean
ago, and the land thus made avail
able sown with potatoes. There was
good weather for potato growing,
and the crop was a large one,
The Usefulness of Farm Accounts
To the many obvious reasons for
keeping farm accounts should be
added the following one, at least un
der present conditions, Farmers
seeking credit are being required to
furnish an increasing amount of in
formation. A statement of net
worth as obtained from a farm ac
count book is the basic credit state
ment. In addition borrowers may
be required to furnish a budget of
expenses and income in order to ar
range repaymepts, Without adequate
records of his farm business1 the bor
rower cannot do himself justice or
preent his application in the most
favourable light.
- Furthermore, over a period of
several years, farm account books
bring out an increasing number of
useful facts. The records suggest
that different fields need different
soil treatment. They give definite
standards of performance in the use
of feeds, in the production of but
terfat and other live iStock products,
and do much to change the yearly
plans -of the farmer from a matter
of chance and guesswork into reason
ed plans based on demonstrated
facte and relationship.
PREMIER HEPBURN ADOPTS
BABY BOY
Premier and Mrs, Hepburn have a
new interest in life.
They have taken a step which
thousands of others have taken be
fore them. They have adopted a
baby boy, and in a few days there
will be a little girl to> keep him com
pany. The spacious farm at South
Yarmo.uth will be a different place
for Mt. and Mrs. Hepburn. They are
busily engaged in making a nursery
for the children and childish cries
will echo through the farmhouse,
filling the silence which has pre
vailed "for many years. Not so many
years ago the Hepburns had dreams
of having their own sons and daugh
ters. Death wiped out two young
lives, but the hope survived.
Now there will be children again;
not their own, it is true, but they will
be their own in everything but birth,
which after all is only an accident, an
incidental thing in the scheme of life
The boy and and girl will ,gr.ow up as
the son and daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Hepburn. They will know true
parent love, these youngsters, and
the affection which would have gone
to others had not fate intervened,
will be showered on them.
The fact that Hon. David Croll,
Minister of Welfare, is at the present
time engaged in a campaign to have
children adopted into families has
had no bearing on the decision of
the Premier and Mrs. Hepburn to
adopt a family. For a long time
they have been considering this step
and it was^just a question, of find
ing the -children thex.wanted.
And in taking two children out of
an institution and bringing them in
to their home, Mr. and Mrs. Hep
burn have shown to the citizens of
the province that the human heart
has the same yearnings the world
over, whether he or she be of high
or low station in life. ’
