With the stock in the fields, you could very well make your plans now for stable improvement. There are iso many ways that you can save time and steps around your barn with a little foresight and planning and be- sides there are a good many barns, sadly in need of renovating. Yours might be one of these barns, schedul- ed for a- complete going over. If so, (let's look at some of the ways that !you can save steps and money, I It has been recognized that the I loose stabling of cattle is not only better for the health of the animals themselves, but it makes it easier for feeding and stable cleaning. A beef cattle producer, who plans a central manger down the centre of the barn with a cement base and steel uprights, will last for generations. It is easily cleaned and whitewashed. Fresh water can be served in a stationary tank, at one end of the manger ,and if the mangers are large enough .a whole day's supply of feed can be put in these mangers. Likewise with the cleaning of the stables, for a manure spreader can be brought right into the barn. A manure loader can be driven in through the door, if it's wide enough, and you'll ,save yourself a lot of trouble. Bedding can be dumped down through a chute and the cattle will spread it themselves. This is something that every farmer could well consider. Actually it costs much less than the stanchion set-up. in many barns. I know of several farm- ers who use the feed passage between the two wide pens as the manger and it works very well. Of coure this works well for dairy- men, too, if a man is prepared to set up a milking-parlour, but sometimes, the farmer can't afford to install such an elaborate set-up, especially with the price of dairy products as they are today. But there are many ways that the average dairy barn can be improved. Scurie farmers, who are bandy with tools, have been known to build stable cleaners, that •will clean out the- manure in a few mom, ents, by simply pressing a button. 1 know of several f armers who have built home made grain throwers or grain elevators, in their barns, These are ideal for farmers with combines, or those who feed a lot of grain. I know of several farmers who have installed fans in their stables to carry off the foul air during the winter time and these also serve to bring in fresh air and keep the barn from bedoming wet and humid. One of these farmers has installed a factory-built machine that cost hi the • neighbourhood of $100, but he tells me that it more than paid f or itself the first year, in in- creased gains in beef cattle. There are farmers who have built farrowing pens for' brood sows and brooding Pens for little pigs, complete with infra-red lamps, all at a low cost and a little time. There are hun- dreds of other ways to improve your barn, save time and steps. I would like to mention some of these in" future stories, Most of these can he built by the farmer- himself, with a very little outlay. These days, it costs plenty tc hire a man, and a good man today is just as hard to find, as he was in the days of vaudeville when that old song was first written, "A good man today is hard to find."

J, .Lquias, vice-presi- dent, Central Region, Canadian Nat- ional Railways, said in an interview here -recently, "The management of the railway", he continued, "believes that for sound, financial reasons, the interests of the company and the interests of the Canadian people who are owners of the railway, would be best served if bus and truck operations were to re- place Present passenger operations." Mr. Lomas pointed out that there was not enough traffic, passenger, mail or express, to warrant the costly train schedules. H e said that by in- stalling a bus and truck operation, the railway would save more than $100,000 yearly. "During the past winter months," Mr. Lomas added, "railq,ay officials have kept an accurate record of high- way conditions and we feel that a MIS and truck ,schedule can be maintained to adequately serve the people of these districts." He went on to say that providing. the proposed aubstitution was granted by the Board of Trans- port Commissioners, the CNR stations will remain open and buses would pick up and discharge passengers there, Freight trains would continue to run and passenger trains would be used during the winter, if weather conditions made highway travel im- possible.

BIG ALLOWANCE • "I put my hard-earned money" This Young bank depositor recently wrote to his bank manager: "I made a goal of $1,000 for this year. It is two years since I opened the account with two dollars. I owe thanks to you that put away my hard-earned money where it will benefit me . . I do not wish to touch it for the time being." Building up a bank account means work and sacrifice. But Canadians know the value of having savings handy in time of opportunity or need: they maintain 7M million savings accounts in the chartered banks—almost twice as many as ten years ago. At the-same time bank staffs have almost doubled. That, aild higher wages, have increased bank payrolls almost three times. More people use the banks, more people work for the banks than evf.Y. before. There's a need in Canada's expanding Air Force for still more men who like to work with -engines and machinery.
