Combine the talents of a
farmer; an engineer;' add
about 130 sowsand their off-
spring, throw in a govern-
ment grant and you can get
an unusually productive sit-
uation.
And that's what's happen-
ing at Gary Folkema's bog
breeding farm near the
southwestern Ontario town
of Ingersoll. Gary and his
friend Dark Matt, an engin-
eer from London, have set up
a way of converting pig man-
ure into electricity! ,
Not only that, they convert
the manure's unused protein
into a nutritious feed supple-
ment which Gary says saved
him about $9,000 in feed costs
last year.
The week...ye e . visited the
Folkema farm, by the way,
was a week of contrasts. We
had done a story about a
Burlington couple who grow
orchids, watched a potter in
Hillsdale making a place set-
ting for Rideau Hall, then
suddenly there we were
trudging around a pig farm!
My wife Jenny, who tra-
vels with us as production
assistant, loved the orchid'
and place setting stories but
would have no part of the
pigs. She's a . farmer's
daughter and is always very
helpful when we do things
about farming. But she•drew
the line on going in among
the pigs. She said she'd been
there before.
Her fears were unfounded.
The machinery that puts the
converting process into ac-
tion was in the large clean,
lower floor of a barn. There
was a vat of liquid waste, but
no odor.
Pipes carry the manure
into a big silo -like "Diges-
ter". It extracts the methane
gas from the manure and
transfers it to a huge balloon
where the gas is stored.
When required, the gas is re-
leased to a generator.
There's enough electricity
produced to provide power
for the whole farm with some
an argument, every bitter,
nasty word said,. every sick
moment of a bad situation,
and then wonder why their
outlook is so sour day after
day.
R.L. Smith used the
phrase: "We regale our
minds with the resurrec-
tion of all things disagreea-
ble."
By doing this we have an
almost unpayable mort-
gage on the day before it
starts. Add to that the nor-
mal load of a normal -day's
frustration and worry, and
no small wonder it be-
comes too much.

with happiness, most often
out of a wish for self -pun-
ishment, theP replay the
mental record of. yester-
day's sins and the blight
sets in. His job, he said, is
to smash that record.
Jot this phrase down,
and put it where you can
see it often: "That was yes-
terday." Let each brand-
new day be just that. Car-
rying around yesterday's
load and today's will make
anyone weary, and then ir-
ritable, and finally sick.
Life has enough rough
spots for everyone of us
that we need to remind
ourselves at the start of a
new day, that it is a new
day. What happened yes-
terday was yesterday.
From The Living Bible
Then Saul confessed, "I
have done wrong. Come
back home, my son, and
Pll no longer try to harm
you ; for you saved my
life today. I have been
a fool, and very, very
wrong." "Here is your
spear, sir," David re-
plied. "Let one of your
young men come over
and get it. The Lord
gives his own reward for
doing good and for be-
ing loyal, and I refused
to kill you even when the
Lord placed you in my
power. Now may the
Lord save my life, •even
as I have saved yours
today. May he rescue me
from all my troubles."

It's quite an idea. Gary
and Derk have turned every-
thing but the squeal into pro-
fit. The litters are healthier,
and the farm gets free elec-
tricity.
But inway, Jenny was
right. I tdnred the rest of the
barn while the pigs were be-
ing fed. The boots I was
wearing have been out on our
back porch for the past two
days.
