In the form of flood' • this energy breaks through, develop,' ing into a lightning stroke, Farmer: Why the fare? Lightning: • When I break down the. atmosphere and -rush through objects such as wood and trees, almost instan- taneously a fire is produced ?on ae- count of great resistance, Farmer: Then, if there is no resist- ance, you cannot do damage? Lightning: No, I -cannot do dam- age. When lighting rods are on build- ings they afford an easy., free path, They allow electrical energy to wdste away from the points of the lightning rod and prevent the electrical energy from storing up in the building and attracting .me for the cloud, Farmer: Do trees protect -buildings? Lightning: No, they are not good conductors and add a danger if closer to the building than its height, Such trees should also be protected with lightning rods, 'Farmer: Does metal attract you? Lightning: No, the only thing that might be said to attract me is the opposite electrical energy stored up on the ..surface of earth and on buildings. Farmer; Why do you usually burn barns when you strike? Lightning; Hay is of a very' com- bustible nature and especially when barns are filled- with new hay. This being damp, often a gas accumulates which a very small spark will ignite. The new hay adds to the storage cap- acity allowing - electrical energy to bunch up. Horses and cattle in the barns add to this hazard and are us- ually burned to death. A lightning stroke fires the barn in several places at once, making one of the most diffi- cult fires to put out. Keep your Lightning Rods in good repair! FARMER INTERVIEWS THE LIGHTNING The following dialogue answers some pertinent questions about Light- ning. Lightning Rods proVide 99% ef- ficient control if kept in proper repair. Careful inspection of the :cods to see that the old sow, or something else, has not broken the grounding connec- tions will be time well spent. •- Farmer: How old are you, Light- ming? Lightning: As old as the Universe. Farmer: Where do you live? Lightning: My-home is in the earth but during storms; I am in the clouds, .as well. Farmer: What are you? Lightning: I am Electrical Energy existing in Postive and Negative forms which when divided attract each ether, Farmer: Why do you jump to the earth? Lightning: Because the atmosphere is a dielectric and offers resistance. I build up a large quantity of electrical energy in the clouds; the attraction of negative energy in the earth attracts and enables me to break down the atmosphere ,and this breaking through the air has been named after me — Lighting. Farmer: Who first interferred with your power? Lightning: Benjamin Franklin dis- covered that I was a form of Electric- al energy and could be controlled. He then erected metal conductors over buildings,, making it impossible for' me to damage them. These conductors were called Lightning Rods. Farmer: You are still free to dam- age unprotected buildings? Lightning: I have burned more buildings in .North America than all wars. I burn more unprotected build- ings every year than any other cause of fire, in rural districts. In getting to earth I strike many suburban homes which burn, as they are located some little distance from fire fighting ap- paratus. Farmer: Do you boast of this tre- mendous fire waste with death and in- jury to people? Lightning: No, I am Nature's Nat- ural Law—a great aid to vegetation and atmospheric phenomena, aiding in the formation of rain storms and vege- table growth. I regret that damage occurs due to ,the negligence of the property owners. Farmer: Why the Lightning Stroke? Lightning: It is the result of these abnormal electrical conditions -sirnilar to the breaking of a dam or a water flood as an overcharge of energy is seeking an opposite electrical energy FALL FAIRS Blyth.

ISSUE NEW ORDER RE MIXED FOODS In -order to simplify the numbers and brands of commercial mixed feeds, also to prevent unnecessary -duP- lication, the Feeds Administrator has issued an order, approved by the War Time Prices and Trade Board respec- ting such feeds. The purposes of the Order are to provide the farmer or feeder with the best feed that can be produced, and to enable the manufac- turer to reduce some of his lines so that he will have a better opportunity to become even more efficient in his operations to the advantage of both. himself and his customers. The Order forbids the manufacture distribution or sale -of any commercial mixed feeds fr3r cattle or swine except the kinds designated in the Order, which are as follows:— Cattle feeds (a) complete or ready to feed, the minimum protein level to be 12 per. cent, The maximum num- ber of brands to be manufactured is limited to three. For cows in Milk and growing calves, the minimum pro- tein level 'must be 10 per cent. Cattle feed (b) Supplements, the minimum protein level to -be 24 per, cent„ and the maximum number of brands manufactured, two, Swine feeds (a) Complete or ready to feed, the minimum protein level to be 18 per. cent, with the maximum number of brands limited to four for pregnant sows; market pigs over 110 lb; and 'breeding. boars. For nursing sows; market pigs to 110 lb.; and de... veloping gilts and hears, the minimum protein level must be. 15 per, cent and fot pig starter, 118 per. -cent, Swine feeds (b) Supplements, the minimum protein level to be 30 per, cent, and the maximum number of brands to be two. Poultry feeds of identical formula may be sold in both mash and pellet form without constituting more than one brand.
