Attacked By Bull Mr.” Harry Fahrner, 75-year- old farmer who resides a few miles north of Crediton, was at tacked by a bull in his barn on Sunday.Mr. Fahrner’s son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Kreuger live on ttye farm with him, and it was during their ab sence at church that Mr. Fahrner entered the barn and noticed the animal had broken its chain. Upon his entering the stall to make repairs, the bull turned on him, and had it not been for Mr. Fahrner’s alertness in jumping into the manger, his injuries might have been much more ser ious. However, in landing, he fractured his leg above the ankle. He climbed through into the barn where Mr. and Mrs. Kreuger found him on their return. He was taken to South Huron Hospital where X-rays were taken and, upon Dr. Butson’s advice, he was removed to Victoria Hos pital, London, where it was hoped reparations would be made by Wednesday.

The flu epidemic has been catching up on a great many of our residents during the past two weeks. Mr. Lawrence Hill, who was confined to his .home last week through illness, was taken to Victoria Hospital, London, Satur day evening, where he under went an operation on Sunday. Mrs. Charles Green is confined to her room with a severe attack of sinus. Mr. Donald Kestle is able to be out again following his illness last week. What’s it worth? Plenty. Al though not a balanced fertilizer, it is’a valuable by-product of the livestock farms throughout the world. To many hired men it is drudgery. To us it is one of the necessities "of a good farm. One agronomist put it rather good— “Without manure, what have you?” We have often in the past heard many farmers say "After feeding all winter, all I had was the manure!” Perhaps he did not realize what he had. Good manure is said to be 40% N. If this is true why not compare the dollar value in relation to 33% N Aero-' pills. Astounding isn’t it? Not only does it contain Nitrogen but also phosphorus and potash also many salts and trace minerals. Research scientists tell us that the manure from the barnyard can be made more effective by adding phosphorus and potash. Even the addition of phosphorus is said to greatly add to the effectiveness of barnyard man ure. This can be added in various ways — as stable-phos, spread phosphorates either over the manure pile, the spreaderload or if you prefer to spend an extra few bucks you can spread it directly over the fields. The other day we ran across an article which gives what one farmer considers manure is worth. Twelve head of heifers saved him $400 on his fertilizer bill. He put the manure from their loafing shed and feed lot on 20 acres of corn land. The only commercial fertilizer he add ed was 150 lbs. of 2-12-6. On the other field he broadcast 500 lbs. of 2-12-6 per acre and added another 150 lbs. at planting time. The Voice Of Temperance Huron County is one of the largest “dry” areas ‘in Ontario. We of Huron would do well oc casionally to recall the story of the long struggle against drink that our fathers and grandfathers fought for nearly half a century. Hullett Township adopted Local Option in 1905, one of the first municipalities in the province to do so. By 1931 three townships, two villages and three towns in Huron remained in the “wet" column, due to the 60 percent handicap. In 1914 The Canada Temperance Act was carried with a majority of 2,603. This act wiped out all legal outlets for the sale of liquor in our county. Later, in 1919 and in 1924, Hu ron voted strongly in favor of The Ontario Temperance Act. In the latter year, when Ontario voted to retain the O.T.A. by a majority of 34,'051, more than one third of this came from Hu ron, to be exact 11,945. The courts have frequently compli mented our county on its com parative freedom from crime. That is not surprising. The more freely liquor flows the busier are the courts. “Seventy-five percent of all criminal cases ift^my court involved drink”, declared a judge of 30 years’ experience. Let us in Huron hold fast to our proud position as a temperate county. This advertisement is inserted by the Huron County Temperance Federation. Both yielded exactly the same. Now we don’t exactly agree with him as to the value of his manure. He merely figured a different way. But we do agree that manure is very valuable. To put a price on a ton of manure is impossible due to many fac tors. The main one is manage ment. DID YOU KNOW? It is possible for a well-bedded steer on full feed to make over a spreader load of manure every week.—Roll in the straw boys, it pays dividends. THIS WEEK On holidays. Births in Canada climbed to a new monthly peak of 37,462 in July. Report On Grand Bend By MRS. IRENE MEYERS The Story In Saintsbury By MRS. H.
