One -day courses offered on practical skills at Guelph Orchids may feed the spirit, but the body, ah the body has other needs. Perhaps that is why the University of Guelph is offering one -day courses on wine, cheese and beer - making in addition to a course devoted to the most exquisite of flowers. The four courses are part of a picogram, Practical Skills for Town and Country, which the University's Continuing Education Division has especially developed to help people become more self-sufficient. To enable par- ticipants living at a distance from Guelph to attend, the courses are held on Saturdays. You can grow orchids under lights, on a windowsill or in a greenhouse, and it's easier than you think, according to Sarah Mitchelmore, the specialist who is teaching the course on November 3. In addition to learning the basic growing techniques necessary for getting started, participants will be given literature and references for future use in their horticultural efforts. The three toodelated courses are all taught by specia is from the University's well-known FoodScience Department. On November 10, Making -Wine From Concen- trate covers the right techniques for making good wine at home. Leave vinegar making to others by properly learning about the fermentation process, equipment, materials, ingredients, bottling and storage. Making Cheese, on November 17, covers the different types of cheese, ancient and modern methods of production, and the practical aspects of home production. Lear- ning how to make your own home brew, on Noveinber 24, can be surprisingly simple. Enrolment in some courses is limited.

People who aren't familiar with con- temporary farm practices or who don't per- sonally know any farmers might think farmers are still milking their cows by hand and piling hay with a pitch -fork. To set the record straight, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture presents "Behind the Barn Door", a 13- minute video introduc- ing non -farmers to the farm practices and practitioners of the 1980's. The film is nar- rated by Gordie Tapp, host of the television program "Hee Haw". Tapp has been mak- ing people laugh with what he calls his "bucolic buffoonery" for years. In the video, he gives his viewers ,a different look at the "agricultural engineers." • • If you have ever phoned the Signal -Star and got a 'signhl- busy' time after time instead ... please ,accept our apologies.
