Goderich Couple 50 Years Married Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Swarts, be­ loved residents of Goderich for' over half a century, quietly celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home. They were the recipients of many messages of congratulations from both Canadian and American points, but confined the observance of the day to their own family circle in the home. Howick Couple Married A quiet wedding was solemnized on Wednesday, January 25th, at ten o’clock at the United Parsonage, in pordwich, when Rev. J. W.

Seaforth Horticultural Society Disbands After many ’years of successful work in town, the Seaforth Horticul­ tural Society has been forced to dis­ band through lack of interest. Ac­ cording to Miss Ethel Beattie, the president, the society has enjoyed an average membership of about seven­ ty-five. The difficulty, however, was not financial, but rather lack of in­ terest. The members pay their dol­ lar membership, receive their free shrubs and bulbs and there their in­ terest ends, During the more than forty years in which the society has been active it has distributed thous­ ands of bulbs and shrubs to its mem­ bers, which have contributed to a great extent to the beauty which Sea­ forth enjoys.—Seaforth Huron Ex­ positor. Mice Die in Fire Nearly 10Q white mice, used in a “mousy, mousy” game at .fall fairs and on midways during the carnival season, were suffocated in a fire at Jack Johnston’s garage. Only one of the mice, newly born,, a pinkish little fellow, survived. It is not known how the fire started, but only $50,00 damage was done, 3 Months for Theft Pleading guilty to the theft of $60 cash from Thomas McNall, Auburn, Everett Yungblutt, 25,’was sentenced to three months in jail with hard lab­ or, McNall had just sold a load of buckwheat and received the money in the accused’s presence, placing .it in from which it later was suppress the exorbitant a drawer, stolen. “If you love of pleasure and money, idle cur­ iosity, iniquitous pursuits and wanton mirth, what a .stillness there would be in the great cities!

Biddy Shares Nest A Mildmay citizen, who keeps a few hens, reports a rather unusual oc­ currence. His neighbor’s cat succeeds each night in effecting an entrance into the chicken house and each morning is discovered sharing a nest with a setting hen. There appears to be a perfectly mutual understanding between the hen and her feline com­ panion, and they snuggle together in the most friendly fashion.—Mildmay Gazette. New Telephone System for Seaforth The Seaforth Telephone System is soon to be changed to a common battery switchboard, according to in­ formation given The Expositor by Manager A. M. McIntosh, of Strat­ ford. "Following the change from the present magnetic system in Oc­ tober,’’ Mr. McIntosh said, "it will no longer be necessary for Seaforth telephone users to signal for the, op­ erator by means of a crank. With the new system, lifting the receiver auto­ matically causing -a light to appear on the switchboard, indicating to the operator that a call is being placed. A corresponding disconnection signal is given when the conversation is end­ ed and 'the receiver replaced on the hpok.” With the common battery type of switchboard, the battery sup­ ply necessary to operate the tele­ phone is centralized in the telephone exchange, thereby eliminating the ne­ cessity for individual batteries in each telephone instrument. Thus smaller and neater instruments are made pos­ sible.—Huron Expositor.

Stranded by the side of a road for hours, .they had nearly perished with cold before they found refuge in a district farm home. And during the night, while the storm was at its Height, Richard England, local laborer and father of three of the girls, struggled for hours search- Preventing Farm Fires It is well known that in Canada ev­ ery year losses due to farm fires am­ ount to an enormous sum, yet in many cases the damage to a certain extent might have been minimized or prevented by simple precautionary measures. One precaution is not to put wet or uncured hay in bar,tis, nor to put dry Ijay in barns that have leaky roofs. It is also risky to smoke in or around these buildings. With re­ gard to electric equipment, it is dan­ gerous to use fuses of too great am­ perage and nd article should be used, in place of a fuse. Care should be taken to see that lightning..rods re­ main properly grounded, and defect­ ive electrical wiring should be repair­ ed promptly. The use of kerosene or gasolene to kindle fires or quicken a slow has been responsible not only for many fires but also for many deaths on farms and just because1 there has never been a fire on the1 farm, it is dangerous to neglect precautions un­ der the belief that the buildings will never take fire. Insurance gives an unwarranted sense of security but in­ surance cannot give compensation for al! the financial losses and it cannot replace loss of life. Extreme care should always be taken in handling and using gasoline. The gasoline containers should be tightly closed, painted a bright red, and labelled “gasoline/1’ ©n BILLHEADS BUSINESS CARDS CATALOGUES CIRCULARS COIN ENVELOPES CHURCH ENVELOPES DODGERS ENVELOPES FUNERAL CARDS gin © q ■J on o go on to range early in the season, or they may be raised indoors umtil ready for the laying pen.

He may not get as high, per­ centage hatch as later on, but even the hatchability of eggs is being con­ trolled by the feed. January chicks will cost more as eggs are higher priced to start with. Then it will take more, fuel than with spring brooding. But there is more time for looking after the chicks', there may be less disease and mortality; broilers will catch a high market, and pullets should be Ikying early ill the fall or even in late summer when egg prices are at their peak. Of course, if many started hatching all their chicks in January the higher prices for broil­ ers and eggs would be wiped out, and chicks hatched at some other season would find the best market. Brooder houses unsuited for prolonged Wo weather and the higher price for the chicks will limit the number going in for January chicks. Nevertheless there should be good returns for the few who do, and they can prolong the use of their equipment, as those1 who have January chicks usually have pullets coming into production at dif- , fereiit seasons, January chicks will ” The’Dairy Industry The dairying industry in 1938 was. characterized by an all-time record! production of creamery butter both in Ontario and Canada; the highest level of butter prices since 1931 dur­ ing the first five months of the year, arid a sharp decline in the second half of the year; a considerable reduction in cheese production notwithstanding higher average prices than jin the preceeding year; a substantial in­ crease in the manufacture of miscel­ laneous factory products; and relative stability in the fluid milk trade. Production of creamery butter in Ontario during each of the first three months of 1938 was lower than in the first three months of 1937, but from April to November a considerably higher make was reported* each month, and total production for the year amounted to 88,125,392 pounds. This was an iucrease of 8.4% over 1937 and represented an all-time peak in production. The gain in the year’s butter production was general throughout the province, with the fol­ lowing increases reported by sections — Southern Ontario 6.7%; Western Ontario „6.3%; Central Ontario 12,9 Eastern Ontario 10.5%; and Nor­ thern Ontario 10.7%. Rearing Winter Pigs The winter feeding of swine sents many problems that are not en­ countered in summer time, since pigs are forced to live tinder unnattirat conditions in winter and without the yarioty of feeds available in the earl­ ier part of the year. At the same tion. It can be constructed of any available lumber iira a dry corner of the feeding pen. The sleeping berth should not be mxare than three feet, high and covered with boards and. straw, and just large enough in area to house the pigs comfortably in a bed of dry, clean straw. THE FISH WERE WELL PRESERVED Weighted down from stem to stern With heavy coatings of ice, this fish­ ing trawler, Thomas, Whalen, was one of many vessels to creep into Canad­ ian* and American ports last week, af­ pre- time it has to be remembered that any attempt at forcing winter pigs when exercise is limited is courting disaster. Good feed should be fed at a rate that the pigs can overtake and the pigs kept in dry, comfortable quarters with room for exercise in the early stages of growth. By com­ bining good feeding and management many of the common ailments of swine will be avoided, and the result will be healthy and thrifty market pigs. Successful winter pig production' depends largely upon three factors. These factors arc: warm, dry sleep­ ing quarters, free from draughts; suitable feeds and care in feeding them, and exercise in the early stag­ es of growth. Exercise for the grow­ ing animal is practically a neces­ sity. This is particularly true of the pig in the early stages, and especial­ ly so if the pig is being forced by heavy feeding. Heavy feeding with­ out exercise is conductive to cripp­ ling. It is wise, therefore, to allow the young pigs to run outdoors dur- ’ing the fine fall weather, and when they must be kept inside, due to bad weather, they should be allowed suf­ ficient pen space to exercise freely. With regard to providing warm and dry sleeping quarters, if there arc buildings available it would be unwise and not economical to build new quarters. Even old buildings should be remodelled only sufficient­ ly to ensure comfortable sleeping ac­ commodation. Sufficient trough should be provided so that each pig will have an opportunity to secure a fair share of the feed. If the building is draughty or likely to be cold, the construction of a covered sleeping berth will be well worth consider^* ter .battling sub-zero weather arid heavy gales.
