When the men came home, the family returned to Luclmow where Herb and Myrtle opened a fruit market which they operated -for three months and purchased a home on Clyde Street. -Later they gave up the fruit. store and Herb' acquired property acrossthe street from 'their home which had a barn for a couple of horses and cattle. Carmen purchased a farm on the second concession of Kinloss and later Herb and Myrtle moved to the home on • Carmen's farrn. In 1948 Herb and Myrtle purchased the former McKay farm on the second concession of Kinloss now owned by Donald. Maclntyre. Herb did mixed farm- ing for a few years; later convecting the barn for broiler chickens which they raised in the summer months. Herb and Myrtle spent Winters in Lakeland, Florida where they had a mobile home in W oodall's Trailer • Park. . They spent 23years at Lakeland, selling their mobile home in 1984.

The first heat cycle in gilts usually occurs. at 180 pounds. In the initial cycle, says Ms. Peer, the gilt should not be bred because the piglets in the litter will be too small. When the sows and gilts are in their cycle, they should be tested every two, days by pressing on their'backs s ey will stand for breeding. If the sow will -stand, it sho d be bred 12 hours after the test and again 12 hours later. The same or different boars can be used. • Feeding the sow and gilt requires increased management because they re- quire different levels of food at various stages of their reproductive cycle, says Peer. The peak period when a sow requires more food is after. weaning. The sow needs this. extra .feed in order to come into heat seven days after weaning. A lower energy intake' will mean it will take longer. A few . days after the sow has been re -bred, the feed ration should be cut down to normal levels as over feeding willcause embryo mortality. The ideal volume of feed depends on 'factors such asam temper- ature, the size of thea sow and the energy content in the diet. Overfeeding the sow through the early stages of pregnancy also causes problems such as mastitis and still births. The crucial time for extra feeding during pregnancy, says Peer, is the last two weeks of preg- nancy. Since 50 per cent of the piglet's weight is gained in the last two weeks, it is important for the sow to receive more feed. Organize foodland hydro committee:,. from page 3 • "A lot of organizations want to cut this group to shreds and they will have all the transcripts of the last hearing and five. months to study them." Stephen .Thompson of Clinton is the acting treasurer for the group and he got a chuckle from the crowd by telling the farmers he has invested the contributions in a credit union and "it could be the only profit making. operation we have in 1985." He also advised them to keep their receipts. and claim the donation as a farm expense. While . the primary , purpose of the organization is to try to keep more hydro corridors out of the Huron -Perth area, in conversation following the meeting Mc- Quail o-Quailagreed with a suggestion by Chris Palmer, president of the Township Federa- tion of Agriculture, that it could also be an effective tool for n'agotiating the best possible deal with Ontario Hydro on behalf of farmers if it should turn out that a power line does run through this area.
