MORTGAGE SALE
Of Property in the Township of East

Luder and by virtue of the powers of
sale contained in a certain mortgage
which will be produced at the time
of sale there will be offered for sale
by Public Auction at the office of J.
H. Crawford, Wingham, cn Saturday,
March 30th, 1940, at 1.30 o’clock in
the afternoon by T. Fells, Auctioneer,
the following property, namely:
ALL and singular that certain par
cel or tract of land and premises sit*
uate, lying and being in the Township
of East Wawanosh in the County of
Huron and being part of Lot number
Twenty-nine in the Fourteenth Con
cession described as follows: Com

from the northeast corner of said lot;
thence in a westerly direction along
said boundary line five rods; then in
a southerly direction at right angles
to said boundary line eight rods:
thence in an easterly direction parallel
with said boundary line five rods;
thence in a northerly direction at right
angles to said boundary line eight rods
to the place of beginning containing
one-quarter of an acre of land more
or less.
On the property Is said to be a
frame budding formerly used as an
hotel.
TERMS OF SALE: Id per cent of
the purchase money on the day of sale
and the balance within 30 days there*
The property will be offered Sub
need of providing feed for animals and
soil as well. In some yoars the pur
chases ranged as high as $1,000 in
values. Results are now apparent, and
little feed is being purchased, except
of a specialized nature. «■
The farm itself consits of some 200
acres, worked efficiently by use of 3
horses and a tractor. Last year 67
acres in grain produced some 3,000
bushels, or a very creditable average
production of 45. bushels per acre. The
programme is one of mixed farming,
with a background of hogs. About 75
pigs are usually kept. The last 3 lit
ters numbered 11, 12 and 13 which
accounts to a certain extent for the
statement that hogs were a paying
proposition.
Shorthorn feeders are kept, and
looking down the tow, one thing that
stood out was the uniformly good
heads of these youngsters. If a head
is any criterion,u there should be ec
onomical gains on these cattle. For
merly a Siiorthorn-Ayrshire cross had
been tried, but discarded in favor of
the Shorthorn. Discussing the subject
of feeds, Mr. Coultes was of the opin
ion that on bls particular farm at
least, they could be raised more cheap
ly than purchased.
AU has not come without the nec
essity of spending. The house and
barn were both replaced, the house ift
1920 and the barn in 1932. Both are
modern, spacious and very well kept,
A combined windmill — gravity wat
er system was worthy of note, in that
it appeared to be an economic and ef
ficient- method of supply. Poultry is
not neglected as the two-storey lay
ing house will testify. By the middle
of October the birds were laying 50%
and bad been in production some three
months, .
Wingham, the leading town in
North Huron, is the centre of quite a
good farm district. It is perhaps only
natural the the townspeople should
take a lively interest in rural welfare.
Nevertheless, the case of radio station
CKNX, operated by W. T. Cruick-
shank, is somewhat unique and de
serves special mention.
Another Cruikshank (unrelated),
name of Robert, operates two farms
On the outskirts of Wingham, The
“home” farm is rather well-known as
being the birthplace of Miss Olive
Cruikshank, Director of Home Econ
omics at Macdonald Institute, Guelph.
Mr. Cruikshank, a versatile individual,
has decided that his understanding of
horses should be put to practical use.
Accordingly, one stable is being fitted
out in box stalls—for the purpose of
wintering race horses. In other words
—horse-boarders.
It seems that the men of the turf
have in the past had annual wintering ■
troubles, usually farming their horses
out, without being sure as to the
treatment that would be meted out to
their speedsters. Some 28 horses are
expected to winter under the capable
Cruikshank attention. A load of steer
comprises the other winter activity ’of
this farm. Two farms of approxim
ately 150 acres each are in operation,
one being devoted to Shorthorn cat
tle and Yorkshires. It is worthy of
note that all of the farms visited in
this district were carrying a full quota
of hogs.
There may be something in names,
anyhow we found ourselves stopping
at the farm of Thos, A. Shearer, Blue
vale (unrelated to the agricultural re
presentative). We were more than in
terested in Mr. Shearer’s statement
that a profit of $1,000 per year was
the mark set for his farm business.
There are no special markets avail
able, no special high selling products,
but there is apparent a good sense of
management and corelation of the dif
ferent parts of the business. The farm
consists of 200 acres. Again a full
quota**of pigs is kept, with about 100
being marketed annually. The 5 sows
in the herd have been producing at
an average rate of 10 per litter. Some
12-15 cows are kept, .grade Short
horns. At the present time,'a Here
ford bull is being used as a cross, for
steer production purposes. A tractor
supplements quadruped horse powers
on this farm. Incidentally Mr. Shear
er is still unmarried.
Calling briefly at the farm of R. W.
Norman Wade, Gorrie, we inspected
the Yorkshires. Eight sows, including
several qualified on advanced registry,
comprise the breeding herd. Several
also are out “on shares.” Since the
Wade farm is not large, the feed .bill
reaches considerable proportions. A
considerable amount of feed is mixed
locally, according to specification.
- And then there are the Strong Bros.
—2 pair of them—-with each pair be
ing unrelated to the other pair, if we
are explaining what we mean. J. W.
and W. are the "Ayrshire Strongs,”
with sonie 80 Ayrshires between them
and 250 acres of land. The few re
maining grade cattle are rapidly be
ing replaced by purebreds. Cream is
sold, with the milk being retained for
the pigs and calves. Some 50 pigs are
kept. It will be noted that these North
Huron farmers whether beef or dairy
men, are very strong in pigs,
The “Shorthorn Strongs," Hartwell
and Roy, comprise the other members
of the Strong group. This pair of bro
thers live a mere few concessions
from*the Strongs already mentioned.
Their strong forte is Shorthorn cat
tle, and from their herd of some 45,
entries are beginning to appear at the
local shows with considerable success.
The efficiency of their operations may
be gleaned from the fact that 57 acres
devoted to grain crops produced some
3200 bushels for the outstanding aver
age of 56 bushels per acre. ,
Another well-kept farm called on
was that of Hugh Douglas, Fordwich,
Farming for the past 25 years, Mr.
Douglas Informed us that he had nev-
er made an “easy penny”—adding that
his one attempt to get “something for
nothing” by means of stocks, turned
out as per usual, an easy way to lose
money. The barn was built in 1920,’
and the house in 1926. Both reflect
the neatness and efficiency apparent
in the well tilled fields of this farm.
Summing up the general impres
sions gained from conversations with
I5 these men, one can say that the crops
this year have been excellent. With a
large amount of relatively low priced
feed available, and with live stock
numbers fully up to capacity, the far-
mers of North Huron ate looking to
the coming year with considerable in
terest Optimism prevails. They have
something to sell-^something which
the markets of the world will surely
