Boyle I have often wondered why it is that whenever you load cattle they always manage to be at the back of the farm. This year we have a grass farm on the sideroad and during the summer mon- ths have been wandering over each Sunday to count them and leave some salt. There hasn't been much trouble with the water because we had such heavy rains in the spring that all the sources have.kept up at a high tide. Last week a cattle buyer came in anxious to fill out a carload and he bought six of the best steers. I guess his anxiety to fill the load sort of prompted him to buy at a higher fig- ore than usual. We sold the six steers and he promised to have the' truck there bright and early on Monday Morning. When 1 went over on Sun- day the cattle were all in the field in front of the old barn and they didn't show any ,signs of wanting to move at all. This was just too good to be true. A couple of the Higgins boys went over with me on Monday to drive the cattle up to the stable and then separ- ate the six which had been sold from the others in the group. When we got there, the cattle were not to be seen. In fact they seemed to have disappeared altogether. Finally one of the boys discovered that they 'grad' broken down the fence and were back in the bush, It's a thick bush of about ten acres that has been protected from the cattle for about ten years and we had a job on our hands to find those cattle, When we did find them the steers were missing and we finally found them all back in the corner of the bush surveying a weak spot in the line fence, You would almost think that they had been warned that they were ready for a trip to market. They were fairly reasonable about coming up to the barn although a dry; wild sow decided now and again to part company and tear back through the fields, We were afraid of stamp- eding the lot so rounded her up into the centre of ,the group, Finally she worked up to be the leader and from then on matters were comparatively easy, The stable doors *ere open and we herded them into what had been the barn yard at one time. The old cow stopped looked around As much as to tell them all to wait until she looked things over and then stepped up to the doorway. She was undecided about going in but the flies were bad and the thought of getting into the cool stable made her decide, She walked in and the rest started following suit. It looked so easy ... too easy in fact. A pair of black calves bolted out of line and the whole mob turned and started down the laneway to the front gate. We had to go through the whole procedure again, although we kept the old cows and the half dozen which followed her penned in the stable, This time we drove the calves in first and the rest walked in easily, The trucker came along and after backing up to the door and letting down a little gang-plank he joined us at separating 'the sold from the un- sold in the stable, We couldn't do a thing until the big roan steer decided 'to investigate the truck as he walked in the others followed suit. It was hard morning's work but at that it was a lot easier than the days when we used to drive the cattle about 'fifteen miles to market and every farmer had a clog which did its best to break up the h6rd. The minute they were in the truck, all we had to worry about was the weight but they made good gains this year so that worry is over now.

BOOTS IMPORTANT TO ARMY'S FEET Conservation Of Boots Save A Great Amount of Money If all Army boots 'being worn in Canada can be made to last one more month the saving for a year would be about $750,000.00, Col. W. G. B. Dailley, chairman of Army Salvage and Disposal Board, makes this estimate in a circular to army salvage and disposal officers across Canada. Looking forward to the Canadian army's ever increasing number of "marching feet", a program of preser- vation of army boots is now tinder way, Capt: J. R. Clarkson, newly ar- rived District Salvage and Disposal Officer, said here today. Capt. Clark- son,. whose borne address is Windsor, replaces Capt, F. L. Till, who has left for Toronto to assume similar duties in M, D. 2, Prevention; is better' than cure is the maxim now being applied to the con- servation of army boots, Capt. Clark- son stated, Officers commanding. all units in the district Have been instructed to have partially worn-out army boots sent in for repairs before they are too far gone. In this way, Capt, Clarkson said, the mortality rate of army boots is being shoved down to a new low.

EC CAN STEAL YOUR 'BUSINESS Woman Severely Injured By Mower At Harriston Mrs. Charles Foulston was . injured While' helping her 'husband harvest peas. She was driVing the 'mower when the team became frightened at something and ran away, 'throwing her off the mower seat. She luckily fell on the side away from the knives but the heavy-cleated wheel ran over her body from her feet to her shoulder. She was rushed to the Palmerston Hospital where it was found that seven or eight ribs had been broken and her collarbone was 'broken. She also suf- fered a deep gash on her leg above the ankle The Foulstons live a mile and a quarter south of Harriston on No. 9 Highway Walkerton May. Purchase Arena The council, by an unanimous vote, decided to purchase the Confederation Arena, and use it for skating and hoc- London stands the busy army shoe repair depot. Thousands of boots pour into this depot annually from all parts of M, D. 1 to eventually emerge pract- ically as good as new. "The value of boots being repaired at this depot per week runs to more than $2,500.00" Capt. Clarkson declar- ed "Its effect is particularly striking in sulfonamide resistant gonoeoccic in- fections", it is repoi.ted. (While sulfa therapy has revolution- ized the treatment of gonorrhoea, a small percentage of cases have not re- sponded to the treatment, and toxic effects made its use impractical in some patients). "Of 129 cases of gonococcic infec. tion, all of whioh were sulfonamide resistant, 125 were free from symp- toms and 'bacteriologically negative within 9 to 48 hours after treatment," the peniccilin report states. These findings led the investigating commit- tee of the National Research Council to declare that, "Here, then, is a most potent weapon in the treatment of sulphonamide - resistant gonorrhoea, and it is not too much to predict that penicillin will prove to be one of the most effective agents in the treatment of a disease that causes great ineffec- tiveness in the armed forces and in the civilian population.

Offerings to date have not always been equal to the demand. Oats, however, are much more readily available. Fred W. Presant, Feeds Administrator, states, and Eastern framers are urged to buy oats now and to take full advantage of existing transportation facilities. If this is done a more continuous flow of feed grain to Eastern Canada will be maintained, said Mr, Presant Farmers buying feed grains for stor- age on their farms are entitled to the subsidy of 2% cents per bushel in August; 2 cents in September; 1% cents in October, one cent in Novem- ber and half a cent in December, PENCILLIN Pencillin, .the recently discovered anti-bacterial agent which is derived from ordinary mould, has geen found most effeCtive in the treatment of blood poisoning, pneumonia and gon- orrhoea, according to a National Re- search Council report in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
