The Exeter Times-Advocate Daisy: "I have a terribly sore foot.’’ Boh: “That is too bad; if you put your 'foot through the win­ dow the pane will .be gone." Barber: “It’s raining very hard outside. Why not stay here and have a shampoo?" MacTavish: “No, thanks. I’ll just keep my hat off walking home.” waste paper basket But gutters and waste baskets are > r;^ii,suiess First An old Lancashire miller, noted for his keenness in financial matters was in a boat trying to get across the stream which drove his mill. The stream was flooded, and he was takJ en past the point at which he waut- ^yed to land. Later, still dogged misfortune, the boat capsized. His wife, realizing the dangfer, (for btflp, 'when) to *ber "amazement, 'she was suddenly brought to a sud­ den standstill by her husband yell­ ing out: "If I’m drowned, Moll'y. don’t forget that flour’s gone up two shillin’ a sack.” Bill—Is your flat furnished or unfurnished? Judd—-To tell you the truth, I never know until I get home in the evening. These hire purchase people are so frightfully fussy. Your Home=Town thrown into the gutter before it was thoroughly read filled every day with unopened, unread expensive direct advertising, sale ammunition shot into the air, and * cheap publications promoted by fly-by-night artists. A newspaper commands an audience with prospective customers, especially ynur home paper. It is never thrown aside without first being read from “kiver to kiver.” You( never see it littering the front yards, or, the streets, annoyng the housekeeper. That is wily intelligent, attractive newspaper advertising is known to be the most effective form of advertising for your business. An advertisement in The Exeter Times-Advocate will reach the buyers in the local trade territory and will be read by thousands of people. There 'has been a striking come­ back of the corn-borer in Ontario this year. The Provincial Entom­ ologist reports an average increase of between two and three-l’old over last year, The increases was brought about chiefly by the very favorable, weather for the insect last June and July. In .counties where there was no clean-up last spring the insect multiplied much more than where the clean-up was made. This out­ break has shown that the borer is still a real menace to corn growers. Some Hints on Honey Granulated honey can be brought back to its liquid form by standing the container in water and heating it to 15 0 degrees Fahrenheit. A higher temperature than that is likely to darken the colour of the 'honey and drive off aroma and fla­ vours. As soon as the honey has become liquid, cool it as rapidly as possible, but do not put into the refrigerator. Honey absorbs moisture from the aw and loses aroma and flavour ra­ pidly; therefore, it should not be kept uncovered any longer than is necessary. Keep extracted honey in a cool dry place, but honey in the comb 'should be stored where it is warm and dry. Cornwall Ploughing Meet Although official announcement will not be made until the annual meeting of the Ontario Ploughing Association at Toronto in February members of Cornwall Board of Trade have been given assurance that th'e International ' Ploughing Match and Farm Implement Demon­ stration will be held at Cornwall in October, 19 3 6. The four-day event is expected to attract from 75,000 to 100,000 people, and the Cornwall Board gave its unanimous endorsement to the scheme. J. W- McRae Lochiel and J. J. Tierney., Brockville, vice-president and director* respectively of the On­ tario Ploughmen’s Association, stat­ ed that a survey had been made and suitable lands found in the immed­ iate vicinity o£ Cornwall. They 'had also received assurance that 135 to 150 teams of 'horses could be obtain­ ed for the match. With these fac­ tors settled they were in a position to state that the match wofild be held near Cornwall, providing they could be assured oif 'Civic and Counties Councils and the .citizens in general. Crate Feeding* Poultry Modern methods of production have so simplified poultry raising that is has been made possible for poultry meat to become an every day article of diet. Too much of Cana­ da’s poultry is marketed in an un­ finished condition, consequently dry and tough and, too frequently poor- ‘ly dressed. Poultry to be appetizing must be well fileshedi and 'properly dressed. There are two principal methods of finishing poultry — pen feeding and crate feeding. The former me­ thod is generally used for turkeys and waterfowl, the latter for chick­ ens of all ages. Some feeders follow the practice of pen feeding for a couple of weeks and then “finish osff” in crates. Batteries are com­ monly used in intensive plants, but for ordinary farm use crates are equally satisfactory and are inex­ pensive. The quarters where the birds are to be “finished” should be dry, cool and" well ventilated, and the birds should have quiet and freedom from excitement. The general purpose of heavy weight breeds are best suited for crate feeding and best results can be expected only where strong, vig­ orous, sturdy type birds are used. Before starting the finishing period the birds should be dusted with flowers of sulphur or some other suitable preparation to ensure their freedom from lice. f The treatment used at the Ka- puskasing Experimental Station has proved very satisfactory and con- sists of a powdered “reduced iron" which can be purchased at any drug store.. Absolute accuracy of dosage is not important, and for practical ’punposes the quantity can be rough­ ly measured as the amount which can be piled up on a small Canadian one cent piece. Each pig is caught, the iron placed on the back of the tongue, the pig marked and put back in the pen; this is repeated every other day, starting when the pigs are 4 or 5 days old until they are three weeks old or rather* as soon as they start to eat from a small trough. Canadians Win Honours at Chicago International Farmers from Canada who exhib­ ited at the 3 6th annual Internation­ al Live Stock Exposition and 17th annual International Grain and Hay Show held at Chicago from Novem- ■ her 30 to December 7, 1935 inclu­ sive, demonstrated the high quality of their products entered in comp­ etition with those from all parts of the United .States and other coun­ tries by winning a substantial list of champions, first prizes and hun­ dreds of lessei- awards. A tabulation of the prize lists shows that Canada won 18 champ­ ionships and 12 reserve champion­ ships, ten of the former being for sheep, two for cattle, one for horses and five for field .crops—'wheat, field, beans, field peas, soy beans and white corn; eight of the reserve championships were for sheep and four for 'field crops—wheat, field beans, field peas and alfalfa seed. What is regarded as the* outstand­ ing honour won by Canada at Chi­ cago was the winning of the wheat championship which was awarded to W. Frelan Wilford, of Stavely, Alta., for his exhibit of reward wheat, a hard red spring variety, developed by. the Cereal Division of the Experi­ mental Farms branch. Another .particularly notable aw- J ard was won,by G. Gordon Finlay, i of Northwood, Ontario, who carried ’ off the championship for soy beans ' against a big field of competitors. ! His win this year made the third ( time in succession he has won the So'y, beans Championship, and .con-; sequent'ly he will not be allowed to compete at the International for an­ other three years. Other champion­ ships and reserve championships won for field crops were as follows: Field Beans—H. Graham, Iron Springs, Alberta; reserve champion­ ship—George Taylor, Milford, Ont. Field 'Peas—James W. 'Shearer, Morrin, Alberta; reserve champion­ ship—>C. W. Stirling, Sidney, B.C. Alfalfa Seed—Reserve champion­ ship, Ellsworth Francis, Renfrew, Ont. The championships for sheep were awarded to famous breeders from Ontario who have been winners of blue ribbons for several years, among them being C. J. Brodie, of Stouffville, Ont.; Charles J.. Shore, Glanworth, Ont.; H. M. Lee', High­ gate, Ont.; John D. Larkin, Inc., Queenston, .Ont.; H. Nel Gibson, of Komoka, Ont.; and John D. Patter­ son, Richmond Hill, Ont. DEATH OF ROBERT ATKINSON The death of Robert Atkinson, of Granton, took place recently. He was in his 82nd year, and with his wife moved to Granton about three years ago from their farm near Lu­ can. He is survived by his wife, six daughters and three sons. The fun­ eral service was held in St. Thomas Anglican Church. Rev. T. Hicks,, of London had charge of the service* Interment was in St. James Ceme­ tery, Clandeboye. ______________ WISE CRACKS In one home, dad began to wipe the dishes and ma 'soon found it was cheaper to hire a maid, to reduce breakage. When the union of the Methodist Churches of the United States takest place it .will be the largest Protes­ tant body on .earth. ' Betty—Auntie, was your name Pullman before you were married- Auntie—No, dear. Why do you ask? Betty—I just wondered. I see that name on a lot of your towels. Mrs. Gassaway—-So your husband has been deceiving yu, has he? Mrs'. Gnaggs—Yes, I’ve been giv­ ing him a dime every day to ride to work on the bus, and now I find out that he’s been walking and spending the money. Got Two Orders “Hello, how are you getting on as salesman?” “Fine, I got two orders the first office I went into," “Is that so?” “Yes, one was to get out and the other was stay out." Can’t Seo Him “Ah, so you’re a De Vere. Are you related to the De Veres of May- fair?" “I am a distant relative,” answer­ ed the poor man. “Oh, and how distant?" “As far as they can keep me." Finale A colored man .was arrested after government agents had discovered a still on his premises and was brought before a United .States commission­ er. “What do you. plead?” asked the commissioner. “I pleads guilty and waives the bearin’,” the culprit said. “What do mean, ’waive the hear­ ing’?" asked the commissioner. “I means I don’t want to hear no mo’ about it.” The total number of pedigree cer­ tificates registered during the month of August, 19 35,. by the Canadian National Livestock records, approv­ ed by the Dominion Minister of Ag­ riculture, was 5,170. Of that num­ ber 252 were horses; 2,559 cattle; 1.002 sheep; 640 swine; 1I7 foxes; 6&2 dogs, and 38 goats (11 Nubian, 13 Saanen, and 14 Toggenburg). Anemia in pigs Reports are often received of the large death majority among pigs prior to the age of weaning. The little pigs which have usually been doing well and putting on weight suddenly become unthrifty. They lose weight, the hair becomes rough and the pigs appear listless. Diar­ rhoea is a common symptom, If examined they are found to be very pale and anemic which is most ap­ parent in the white of the eyes and in their bloodless cars, and by the absence of a healthy pink colour from the skin. Deaths due to an­ emia are frequent. This condition is due to defic­ iency of iron in the blood and is par­ ticularly serious in larger piggeries, where the pigs are on a carefully balanced ration. WEALTHY BEGGAR . ■Constable Walter Mitchell obser­ ved a tattered beggar sob bitterly passerspy in New York ignored his outstretched hand. iSympathetically the policeman approached the man and offered words of encouragement The beggar spoke of suicide. So the policeman took him into custody for his own protection. At the police station they found $375 on him and a bank book showing deposits in his name totalling $6,720.
