Huron County has been allot-

the addition of life to the Co -

George Allen, 79 -year-old Kirk -
ton farmer, had to stay up all
night to look after his big crop
of pigs last week.
One sow gave birth to 20 liv-
ing pigs in' one hdur. Sixteen of
the litter are still living.
Since the mother only had 14
places set to eat, Mr. Allen had
to keep changing the pigs to
ensure that all of them got a
square meal.
Six months ago, Mr.. Allen re-
ports, the sow had 19 pigs and
raised 14,
Sonic years ago, the Kirkton

feet that farm producers should

was involved, namely in land
acquisition through the Ontario

the Department of Highways,
.After some discussion it was
agreed that the county federa-

county, This farm paper carries

The junior farmers of the

Again I would remind you that
any farmer is welcome to at-

Why Lose
Machines?
District farmers were urg- •
ed this Week to get their
implements out of sight for
Hallowe'en.
"Farmers arc only asking
for trouble if they leave
their equipment where prank-
sters can get it," said OPP
Constable Cecil Gibbons,
head of the district detach-
ment.
"Last year we had a num-
ber of calls reporting stolen
machinery after Hallowe'en.
Tractors, wagons and other
implements were taken miles
down the road or hidden in
bushes," the constable • said,
"The best way to avoid
trouble is to put the machine-
ry Where it won't be seen."

This. Rabies Situation
Dr. R. M. Aldis, Huron medi-
cal officer of health, has issued
the followibg statement in regard
to the rabies situation:
While no rabies has been con-
firmed at the time, of writing in
tHuron County, you will be con-
cerned with the proximity to us
ofan epidemic in the red fox
which has, been chiefly centred
in Grey County.
Rabies or hydrophobia is a
virus infection which attacks the
nervous system. It is spread to
humans and warm-blooded ani-
mals by the introduction into the
body of the rabies virus, and
this is usually by the bite of a
rabid animal. On rare occasions
it has developed from the cin -
tact of the saliva of such an
animal with a scratch or other
break•iri the skin of the victim.
Because of various factors
such as the intervention of
clothing, the severity and post.
tion of the bite, rabies does riot
necessarily develop following an
attack by an infected animal—
some authorities state that only
five to fifteen per cent of per-
sons bitten by rabid dogs, and
untreated, actually develop the
disease.
The incubation period varies
with the site and severity of the
wound and may be two to six
weeks or longer. Once the 'symp-
toms of rabies appear in man
or anima), death follows in two
to six days.
in dogs the early symptons
are: change of disposition, rest-
lestness, loss of appetite, tend-
ency to hide. Soon the appetite
becomes abnormal and the ani-
mal may -try to eat glass, stones,
etc. Later it may rush about in
a staggering .way, falling clown
from time to time. At this time
snapping and biting tendencies
are common, alive pours out
of the mouth, and the bark is
harsher. The final stage is one

of paralysis; with the lower jaw
and hind limbs being affected.
Though the animal may by this
time be unable to stand, it can
often still bite. Death occurs
after a few days' illness.
Certain variations may occur
in the illness, and the paralytic
symptoms may be more promi-
nent; with little of the "furious"
behaviour: Even in animals with
none of the classical symptoms,
the laboratory has established a
diagnosis of rabies.
