Many farmers in this district more than likely visited the big day held in the Granton district year before last and will be tempted to perhaps give this one the go-bye. It is our sincere wish that they reconsider. Unless you are as busy as the proverbial cat on the marble floor, you perhaps could learn enough that day at St. Thomas to pay dividends up to mor.e than you thought poss­ ible. Just for example, let us take the farm building set-up alone, which we have had the opportun­ ity of visiting twice in the past couple of years. Three years ago, the barns at the Hospital Farm were burned to the ground. They were the conventional bank barn and as the Farm Manager ex­ plained, “nothing but fire traps and rat nests.” After the dis­ astrous fire they were replaced with buildings of the most mod­ ern design. We believe they in­ corporate more practical labor- saving devices than would be found on any 10 farms in this area. It is a beef-feeding set-up, be­ cause it forms the meat supply of the large hospital. But it is just as practical a set-up for a dairy farm. We are> not going to go into complete detail here, buty will endeavour to give the most import a n t features. The two barns* are separated but set in an inverted EL. In the corner is .the fully auto­ matic feed mill, complete with weigh scales that guarantee that daily rations are exact. Clustered around the feed mill are the in­ dividual circular steel granaries. Some of these are equipped to dry corn or any grain that has a moisture content above the safe storage level. All granaries are rat-proof, and can be elevated into the large bins above the feed mill with a minimum of hand labor. The Stocker steers are winter­ ed in a paved enclosure the square of "the length of the two barns. One barn is a two story type with a central feed bunk. The hay in the loft of this barn is fed in a feed rack outside, and the rack is filled from a balcony at the top level. The other barn is a one story type equipped with a hay drier and self-feeding gates. The silage and meal for this barn is fed in an outdoor feed bunk running diagonally across the paved area, This bunk is filled by a feed trolley which runs along the sides of the bunk from the feed mill. Mrs. E. Keown were Mr, Keown's sister, Mrs. J. O. Lovie, and Mr. Lovie, of Sarnia; Mr. and Mrs. Neil McDonald, Steven and Jud­ ith Anne, of London. I’inknoy-lFarraJi The marriage of Marlon June Farran, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Wallace Harran, and .the Rev. Morley Edward Pinkney, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Edward Pinkney of Montreal, was solem­ nized In St, John’s Anglican Church, Glencoe, Down to Earth By D. I. HOOPER Day Now we would like to make that suggestion again that you will be well-paid to visit this farm on October 5, when these buildings will be open to the public. Without a doubt, you, like us, after seeing them, will come home and make a few changes in some things. Perhaps you will see some things at the Cash Crop Day that will plant an idea which with a few modifi­ cations will be as good as a hired man. DID YOU KNOW? The Huron County Branch of the Ontario Soils and Crop Im­ provement Association is spon­ soring a bus tour to Cash Crop Day at St. Thomas on October 5. Fare—$4.0'0'. For further infor­ mation contact Gerry Montgom­ ery, your Agricultural Represent­ ative at Clinton. Maybe you could see him at Exeter Fair next Thursday.
