Kegistered under provincial charter
as Hemlock Park Coroperative Farm,
Ontario's first co-operative farm has
been started three miles north of the
city of Kingston reports Frank Mac-

experience in the operation of cb-ep-
eratives in their own communities
have joined the Venture.
They are Clifford Allen of Portlaw
district (Proton. R. R. g), 8 Milos
north of .pundalk; Harold Ghent,
formerly of Mount Forest; Arthur
Baas,^ formerly of Holstein district,
Egremont township; James Little of
Tetawater,"'a, former member of the
Whigharn District High School Board;
Bob Barkwell, of Lucknow; lvIorley
Mills, of Kipley. Rusaell ricek„ origin-
ally from Prince Edward Island, is
also in on the deal. •
This group of men, all of whom are
comparatively young, have purchased
from Col. 4, H. Phair of Kingston hie
6004Cre"bleck of land, Otcluding his
private residence,
In addition, 900 acres close by have
been leased, 1800 acres almost all in
one block.
The 900-acre tract was originally
known as Hemlock Park Farm and
was operated by Col. Phair for many
years.
At one time the colonel, who is now
80, but still remarkably active, oper-
ated a dairy in Kingston and had 500
Holstein cows on the farm, all of
which were hand-milked three times
a day. Latterly the farm has been used
for growing registered seed grain.
All the farm machinery and equip-
ment is included in the deal. Harold
Ghent and Russell Beck are now iv-
ing on the farm and the others will
join them soon. James Little moved
last week and Art Haas plans moving
before Christmas,
Clifford Allen will move shortly
after his clearing sale on Jan. 14 at
Portlaw. Incidentally, Mr. Allen has
rented his 270-acre fart* formerly
owned by Fred Plantt & Sons, to Fred
Bell & Son of Badjeros, who will ob-
tain possession April 1, 1954,
Present plans of the co-operative
group call for carrying on mixed
farming and dairying" on this large
farm, which boasts three single family
dwellings and five duplexes. All the
houses are quite close together.
A pew public school, to be Opened
in the New Year, is located about a
mile from the Hemlock Park 00-oper.
erative Farm residential section,
The introduction of this new type
of farming in Ontario will, be Watched
with keen interest, not only by farm-
ers but the people in all walks of life,
We understand' Saskatchewan has
several such enterprises but this is a
new thing for Ontario.
For some time rioNv this new group
of ;nen has been on the lookout for a
snitable property. ThiS Is• the first
farm, co-operative registered under
the statutes of Ontario and the char-
ter is dated December 1, 1953.
A board meeting was held last week,
when several details were ironed out.
Complete organization will Se carried
out When all parties get settled on the
PrelYertY.,
Already 34 Holstein cows have been
Porehased and the herd will be in-
ereastd to 100 when the farm is fully
staffed. It is planned to sell milk to
Kingston Dairy.
In addition to the dairy cows, there
are 1800 laying pullets on the farm,
and 3000 day-old pullets have been
ordered for delivery in January.
One of the big advantages in carry-
ing on farming in this way is the
saving in duplication of machinery. It
will also be an experiment in human
relationships and living in groups as
compared with single families ot
dividual farms, Here's success to the
young "pioneers."

The Donkey's Carol
As they went up the broad road
That leads to Bethlehem—
Mary and her Child-to-be
And the ass that carried them—
Joseph. fagged from weariness,
Mary sighed full sore;
But the little ass held up his head
Proud of the load he bore,

Yuletide Fare

Food has always played an impor-
tant'pait in Christmas and New Year
festivities, If, on gala occasions, our
Anglo-Saxon fore-fathers had asked
the familiar question, "What's cook-
ing?" they would ,probably have men-
tioned such things as stuffed pigs,
peacocks, geese, pheasants* mince pie
and plum pudding. Turkey, however,
% was not listed on the -bill of fare until
V. the discovery of the New World, we
are informed,
Punch was the customary svassail
bowl which takes its name from the
Swoon_ wards "Waes Heel" meaning
"Be in good health," It used to be the
accepted practice to put baked apples
in the punch to improve the flavor.
When mince pie originated In 1596,
it was made from mutton but the
Ptiritans condemned it as an Ungodly
dish and the Quakers would have none
of it. This attitude is attributed to the
fact that exactly three hundred years
ago our Anglo-Saxon fore-fathers were
ordered to observe Christmas Day as
a solemn fast, ,
Originally it Was believed that each
kind of evergreen Would confer
under
ral blessing's on those Who passed de
the boughs. Thus, the custom
of hanging evergreens in the henie
during the Yuletide season had a
purpose beyond that of decOration.

As they went up the white road
Along the printless snow—
Mary drooped her lily head.
Joseph's foot was slow;
But the little ass stepped light arid

And though he had no words,
His heart was full of singing thoughts
Like silver-throated birds.
Yonder rode the holy train
And as we follow them
Let us praise the little ass
Who went to Bethlehem,
So happy for the miracle
In which he had no part—
Carrying God upon his back
And heaven in his heart!
