The low, price of Ford cars and

dynamic forces in the develop-

dropped 38%, and Ford prices
are, now the lowest in the history'
of the industry.

COUNTY COUNCIL NOTES
(Continued from. page one)
ious report to the Council in connec-
tion with various- grants. The com-
mittee recommended` "no action"
with regard to the following grants:
$25 -to the Hensall SeedShow, $100
to each agricultara.l "society, $75 to
the county judging team, $25 to each
Public Library,.. $2'0 for flower beds
around the Courthouse, •$5,000 spe-
cial grant to high schools: and Col-
legiate Institutes in the county, and,
$1,000 each to the four hospitals in
the county. The same "no ,action"
was recdmriiended by the committee
concerning requests for monetary aid
from the Hospital for' Sick Children,
National Institute• for; the Blind and
Salvation Army., The committee -did
see fit however, to recommend .that
$25 be granted to each school -fair
in the county and that the sum of
$1,60.0 he' paid to the Children's Aid
Society in quarterly installments.
Warden A Erwin, of Bayfield; call-
ed Reeve John L. McEwen, of Turn -
bury to the chair, and,the report wa
taken up seriatim in Committee:o
the Whole. Immediately tiie storm
broke, and the discussion : becam
rather warm as -between the "stern-
est advocates" for economy and re
trenchment, the conservative ele-
ment standing for the continuance
of the grants as they road been and
the "moderates," who were in favor
of slight reductions .all along the
line. The discussion became at one
time almost: acrimonious as'between
the rural and urban representatives.
The, ' upshot of the debate, after
voting ;on amendments, amendments
to amendments and- the Chairman
casting one " or twos "deciding votes,
wase as efollows: $25 was granted to
the Hensall Seed Show,- $50 ': to each
afticultural society, $20 to each pub-
lic library, $20 for Courthouse flower
beds, and.$500 to each. hospital. The
question of ' special grants to the,

SkI10k11' DEMONSERA11O1T
A very, instructive and practical
demonstration :ou Shearing, slaugh-i
tering and dressing of sheep was giv-
en •in Exeter, 'Tuesday and Wednes-
day by W. S. MeMellen and W.
.Howard, representing the liye sleek
branch of s the Dom. dept. of Agricul-
ture. The demonstration was given
in connection with the Short'Corlrses
in Agriculture now being conducted;
in town. There was a fairly good
turnout of interested :crested spectators.
The government rrepresentatives
were located in the `l'own Hall. One
might think that in the killing opera;
tions,a
nothing but a slaughter -house
or barn'would be shutable for�� such
work, but Mr. Howard proved' that
with experience aria
nco andc r.
P ca,re, the :work:.
might be carried on without the ex-
citement, and untidiness that one so
often sees. Everyone who;saw the
demonstration was : impressed partic-
ularly with this feature 'and scores.
of helpful hints were given the inter-
ested gathering.
Mr. McMullen and Mr. Howatrd.
spoke on sheep farming in Ontario
during the past year;'and 'outlined
briefly' the prospects for 1924:; They
also referred to the problems of
breeds, breeding, castrating, 'dock-
ing, feeding and finishing. Thorough
explanation. was made of the manner
in which` the sheep sales are conduc-
ted
du
ted in the.Toronto stock yards and
a class later valuated several `'types
of animals.
CIippers have replaced shears in
the shearing of. sheep and with the.
new appliance the fleece can be cut
closely and in - less than, half the
time. The operation requires the
assistance; of two, one to - turn the
small' wheel which drives the clippers
while the other shears. As the mach-
ine passes over the animal's back.
large rolls of thick fleece ..fall loose
and the animal can be deprived of its
winter coat in a very,few minutes.
Another feature of the new system
is that there is not the danger of cut-
ting the skin. The clippers save labor
as well as time.
Mr. Howard. used a rack in killing.
g
The front feet were r e tied and one sear
leg allowed to be free, as the strug-
le`0f a
g dying animal served to pump
the blood from the body. After stick-
ing, Mr. I3oward.broke the neck, ex-
plaining that this Was the'humane•
way to end the ' _suffering lIIg of the ani-
mals. Scores of valuable pointers
were given during the dressing: In
removing the hide it was shown that
it is not necessary to use the -knife
continually, as large sections ca,n be
loosened by pulling.
Farmers should starve sheep at
least 24 hours before killing, unless,
of course they are to be sent to the
abatoirs, "When an animal Itis. not
been • starved , it will retain_ its
strength .and itis.„hard to slaughter,"
observed_' Mr. Howard' "In dressing"
the carcass 'it is very- important that
as little, water as possible be -used
as the moisture•will have a tendency
while work would be performed
proved that with one wet cloth' the
while work -would,: ire . performed
in :a clean manner.
Reports submitted, showed that
from 1917 to 1920 there was a stea-
dy development in the production of
sheep, but sinee that time' a marked
decline is shown. and our sheep pop-
ulation now is just about the same
as it was at the opening of the 'war."
_Statistics show that last year 1,240,-
000 sheep and lambs were sold in the
Dominion and 408.450 in: Ontario.
bate.
At the concluding sitingon Friday
following its economic mood of
Thursday the Council cut down its
special grants to the five high schools
and collegiate institutes from $4,000
to $2,500. At that the Council saved
only $4,100 in grants this session.
The
question of road policies was
considered at some length by the
Council. A motion to memorialize
