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

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

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

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 .

his own protection. At the police
station they found $375 on him and
a bank book showing deposits in his
name totalling $6,720.

Don’t Let Those Pesky Pimples
Mar Your Complexion
What is necessary for those who
are troubled with pimples, boils,
and skin diseases, and who wish to
have a clean, clear, smooth, healthy*
complexion, and a skin, free from
blemishes, is to put'their blood into
a good condition by banishing from
the blood the impurities circulating
through tho system.
