Two litters instead of one will ieduce the carrying charges per pig, and this in turn with aver­ age or better condition, will mean more profit to the breeder. The boar is a first consideration. He is often impaired by under or over-feeding, and by confinement in small quarters. He should be able to exercise out of doors all the year around, in addition to a dry, clean bed free from drafts during the win­ ter. The best advice for feeding the sows is a repetition of the old max­ im—feed according to the condition of the sows. The feeding practice should be to bring the sow through the winter in medium flesh. The feeds used must of necessity be made up largely, if uot entirely, of feeds available on the farm, cessful feeding depends upon bining these feeds in suitable portion and the employment of a minimum of expensive purchased feeds. word heart Mr. Sheppard were delegates to from the Y, P, U. to Conference Y, P.

Agri- Youthful Oratory For Royal Winter Fair not 1936 "Youth in Agriculture” is only to be the slogan of the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto from November 18 to 26 but also will be the motif or theme animating the whole spirit of the Fair. In keeping with this “Youth in Agriculture” Idea a special event has been arrang­ ed in the form of a public speaking contest open to boys who are mem­ bers of boys’ and girls’ farm club un­ der’ the Canadian Council on Boys’ and Girls’ Club work. This contest is a feature apart from the usual pro­ jects of the boys’ and girls’ farm clubs and has regulations of its own. For example a club member who has competed at the Royal Winter Fair in any previous contest con­ ducted by the Canadian Council on Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work will not be eligible to compete, and the number of contestants is to be limit­ ed to one speaker from one province. The contestant must not be less than eighteen years old and must not have reached his twenty-first birth­ day on November 1st 1936. The sub­ ject matter of each address will deal with the position and opportunity of youth in agriculture, and each dress is limited to ten minutes. Entries will be received from officers in charge of club work must be mailed to the General cretarv, Canadian Council on Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work, 463 Confeder­ ation Building, Ottawa, before Oc­ tober 31. ad- the and Se- Healthy Spring Pigs . .The production of large niiinhers of health spring pigs is dependent upon good feeding, care, and mana­ gement of the boar and sows during the winter.First of all, the problem of correct mating is one which al­ ways confronts the livestock breed­ er, Presuming that the sows are of good bacon type,, it is the responsi­ bility of the breeder to mate them to a suitable hoar, so hat the off­ spring will grow Into bacon hogs of the vi&rht type, It the sows are not bred along ba­ con lines, or have adready produced poor progeny, it is now a suitable time io procure one or two gilts to strengthen the sow har'd and intro- is Weed Impurities Spoil Crop Rep oit The matter of seed crop selection now doubtless engaging the atten­ tion of farmers who hope to obtain a cash return from seed production. Certain crops have, of course, been planned and seeded for this purpose. These will include cereal crops prin­ cipally. Selection of seed crops made at about this time will include such kinds as timothy, red clover, alsike, alfalfa, sweet clover and other forage crops. If consideration is be­ ing given to the savings of any of these crops for seed, certain factors should be taken into account. Per­ haps the first and most important of these is the quality of the seed likely to be produced as determined by freedom from weed seed impuri­ ties. In order to obtain the greatest re­ turn from seed production, it is im­ portant that the quality of the seed should be the highest obtainable. Too often seed production proves unprofitable, the reason being that the crop was either unsuitable or was not properly prepared foi- seed production. The seeds of certain weeds are so difficult to separate from grass and clover seeds that the removal of the weeds themselves from the seed crop, by rogueing or 'hand pulling, is the only means of : dealing with them successfully. This may be done profitably sometimes, but not always. Other seeds are not only difficult of separation, but are of the noxious class and are, therefore, objectionable in seed of the highest grade. Ox-eye daisy is one of these, and timothy in which this weed is present should not be saved for seed. Bladder campion, white cokle, couch grass, wild mus­ tard, nightflowering catchfly, false flax, ribgrass and wild carrot are al­ so of this class and therefore seed crops of alsike, alfalfa, red clover and sweet clover containing weeds cannot be expected to profitable returns.

T.he church was filled to overflowing and the vast congregation listened with rapt attention to the wonderful ser­ mons delivered by Mrs. J. F. Sut­ cliffe who with her husband the late Rev. J. T. Sutcliffe ministered here over thirty years ago, Mrs. Sutcliffe is an outstanding speaker giving her messages in a very clear and inspir­ ing way. Many friends gathered to welcome her. The choir rendered several appropriate pieces and Mrs. Sutcliffe sang by request at “Building for Eternity.” Throughout the year 1936, which is leap year the eligible bachelor enters a period of peril to his state of single blessedness, for during the twelve months any girl whp may have become “smitten” by his par­ ticular kind of many beauty may propose marriage to him and not thought “bold” for thus reversing the usual procedure, on such occa­ sions. It is said that the custom is a very ancient one, dating back to at least as nearly as the 13th cen­ tury, when a certain Queen Margar­ et of Scotland made a law whereby, a bachelor so approached by a ’’may- den ladye of both highe and low estait” should be compelled to ac­ cept his fair suitor’s hand under penalty of a stiff fine, unless he cculd prove he was already betroth­ ed. Even in those far off days it would appear likely that there was a pre­ ponderance of the gentler sex and that the men were just as reluctant to take the plunge into matrimony as they very often are today, so the good queen made her famous decree in an endeavor to rectify this. But perhaps after all this idea of the man doing all the courting lias not as much basis in fact as is generally supposed. A man wouldn’t get ahead very far without encourage­ ment and so a wise girl puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to the suitor. A study of women’s ways in court­ ship reveals that there is no univer­ sal belief in the principle of femin­ ine passivity as the most way to secure a mate. Guinea, for example the the initiative and makes advance by sending choice food to the young man she admires. The more presents he receives from her hands in this way the more assured is he of her love for him. In Japan it has been the custom for parents to select a go-between who in turn picks a husband for their daughter, but the modern Ja­ panese miss in her hid for greater freedom now goes one better. She visits a large department store in the nearest big city where the mar­ riage bureau has proved to be a •recent innovation, behind the counter of the older “go be- young women state their requirements in the husband line with as little concern as if they were ordering a new silk sash at cherry-blossom time. The poetry of the Middle-Ages furnish many instances of women who have actively encouraged lovers who lacked the courage to propose. While the English-speaking woman’s passivity under these circumstances is comparatively modern, it is sur­ prisingly deep-rooted in the minds of many. Yet few would be wives unless they relaxed passive state at times.

Webster, two of Blanshard’s most highly thought of residents, celebrated on Monday the fifty-fifth anniversary of their wedding day surrounded by their children and grandchildren and friends from far and near who came to do them honor on this mem­ orable occasion. It was in this very house on the Mitchell Road that Mrs. was born and again where her 12th, 1881, she and Mr. were united in matrimony Rev. W. C. Henderson then of Kirk­ ton. They were both the children of pioneers, Mrs. Welbers being the daughter of Richard Switzer and Annie Spearin, and Mr. Webster - the son of John and jane Brodie Web­ ster. For the first thirty-two years of their married life this esteemed couple lived on the homestead now occupied by their son Harvey, later moving to the home where they now reside. Mr. Webster has been a prominent figure in Blanshard mun­ icipal life and Mrs. Webster an ac­ tive worker in the Presbyterion church and the Women’s Institute. Miss Marion Webster, daughter, met the guests door on Monday and Mrs. Hanly, a daughter, presided at the tea-table in the dining-room assisted by Mrs. Harvey Webster and Harry Armstrong. Mr. and Mrs. Webster are in excellent health and spirits enjoyed a special chat with guest. Two daughters and a son are: Mrs Ernest Hanly, Zion; Miss Margaret Webster at home; Mr. Harvey Web­ ster.

And that this is not a product of sophisticated modern life is evident from the fact that among some peoples marriage by capture is still practical, but even so the pursued maiden is careful not to run too fast for the lad she favors to overtake her. The thin veneer of civilization does not markedly affect primitive instincts, but it mpst not be lost sight of that a consistent “holding off” in order to increase the ardour of an admirer may result in disas­ ter for “it is easier to keep a half­ dozen lovers guessing than to keep One lover after he has stopped guess­ ing, So it may be said truly that the girls Who are successful in love are those who accept the statement of the psychologists that there is no such person as an average man. Each must be dealt with individually and not treated according to “what, all men expect.” Many men find it so hard to frame in words what they yearn to say to the girl they admire, that they are only too grateful if she meets them even rather more than half-way.
