FANS IMPORTANT
FOR VENTILATION
Good ventilation is essential to
every livestock housing system.
To make sure your fans are doing
a good job keep fan blades and
shutters clean. Dust that collects
on these parts can cause a 25 per
cent drop in efficiency.
Remember, turn the power off
before you start.

A few . months' ago :.a pic-

-turesque old bachelor who lives
on the edge sof One of +tario's
fast grOwing suburban coma*.
nities was visited by two officios
gentlemen who 'said' that they
were from. the Board of Health,
"Well, I've got n4 health nroh-
'ems," the old boy s id, INA
come in and sit anyways."
Which the visitors did,, thou
they had to push a couple of dogs
off the sofa to find a ;place. The
house didn't smell ,too ;good
either, they thought, so they.
decided to come to the point right
away, "We have reason to
believe that you're keeping
chickens here," they said.
"Have a drink," the old fellow
said. "I've got a bottle of Irish
here. ' If you've come to test my
hens for syphilis, we can do that
later." ..�
The gentlemen deelihed ' the
drink—maybe because they
didn't want to accept any favors
while in the discharge of official
duties; maybe' `beeausisethey
didn't just like the way their host
blew into the'tumblers before he
wiped them out.
"We're not here to test your
chickens," they said. "We're
here to tell you.to get rid of then'.
Thetcouncil has passed a by-law •
that says you can no longer keep
fowl or livestock within the
bounds of this municipality."
The old fellow twas suddenly
aware of the fact that c these
weren't the 'kindbf' visitors to
welcome with whiskey' at all. He
put the bottle back. into - the cup-
board and slammed the door "
against it. "Look,"he said;, "I've
got a little message for y mmguys
to take back to that council. Got a:7_,„
pen ready?... You just tell those
great people in the town hall that
I happen to own these here five'
acres. Tell them I've owned it for
25 years. I' owned it when; their
town hall was still a mile: away
from here! And you tell 'on how I
got it too! I got it through the
Veterans' Land Act -a small
token of appreciation for the year
I spent overseas ' in the poor
bloody infantry preserving
freedom! Remember? Ansa while'

bit • worse than the chimneys of
those factories they brought in
here to make this town bust its
seams, and if they think they can
tell a man like me to turn his hens
into chicken noodle soup, they're
nuts."
The gentlemen from the Board
of Health got up, still very offi-
cious. Said one of them : "We'll
give you one week."
That was going too far. The old
guy yanked a whip off its hook by
the door, and shook it at them.
"And just before you get through
that door," he said, "I want you
to take a squint at that row of
medals and badges up there by
the clock! I got one of those
badges for being able to pick the
eye tooth out of a sparrow at a
hundred yards! And next time
you show your face
