Well Insulated, Well Ventilated Farm Buildings Methods of planned insulation arc being more generally adopted not only for the farm home itself but for all animal shelters on the farm. insulated homes are more comfort- able; they cost less to heat in the winter, and during Trot summer days they are more easily kept cool. Live -stock buildings are seldom heated, animal heat being relied upon to keep the building comfortable. Such buildings. says G. B. Harrison, Dominion Experimental Station, Swift Current, Sas.. should be insul- ated to conserve this animal heat as muds as possible. Concrete floors will be warmer if they are built over a cinder fill. Cinders have a greater insulating value than gravel, stone, nr the earth over which a concrete floor is often poured. Trouble from Moisture The walls of farm buildings may he filled with insulating material, such as wood shavings, sunflower seed bulls, or some of the commer- cial insulating materials such as ver- miculite or mineral wool. The space between the joists of the ceiling may be partially filled with these, or the loft may be filled with hay or straw. 1f moisture finds its sway into the insulation in walls or ceilings, trouble may be expected from con- densation, Sills 5nd studs may start decaying. To prevent water vapour passing through to the cold outer layers of the insulation, a vapour - proof material should he used on the warn: side of the wall. Two coats of an oil paint will give fairly good results, Better results will be obtain- ed by using .Vapour -proof paper, a specialty which is sold by most lum- ber dealers. Ventilation Important A tight, well -insulated building is easier to ventilate than an uninsul- ated drafty structure. 1f live stock or poultry arc to be profitable, their health should be safeguarded by properly built, well -insulated build- ings. Old buildings •may be insulated and ,made weatherproof by filling lire space between the studs of 'frame buildings with shavings or mineral wool. This can be done by removing a board near the ceiling or under the eaves. In some cases, mineral wool is blown in with an engine -driven blower. Stone, concrete, brick, or frame walls may be covered with ordinary plaster or with a Portland cement .plaster. This would be par- ticularly suitable for dairy barns, milk houses, and other places where sanitation is very important. Caution "Can ye tell the difference be- tween a taxi and a tram car, +Jes- sie?'. "No Tam." "Ween, then, we'll take a tram." Sports - And One Thing By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixbit Critic") We never expected to live to sec the day! A new manager was recently hired by The Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team—and on his first meeting with the as- sembled respresentatives of the Press almost knocked them off their seats by coaling out with the breath -taking statement, "15n not promising anything for next sea- son." This, coating from any sports manager, would be s u r p r i sing enough, But from a Toronto base- ball leader, it is equivalent to eith- er Vishinsky or Gromyko saying "Yes" three times 117 a'row. * * * For years past Toronto baseball fans have been living on promises. Real gluttons for punishment, they have supported—not lavishly, but a lot better than they deserved— teams that were seldom anything except painful to watch. Then the usual routine was something like this—First, fire the old manager; —Second, hire a new one; and Third,—have the latter make the breath - taking announcement that we wcrc going to have a scrappy, fighting , team to root for—next year. * * * Then, next year—the same old thing. Big crowds to greet the new outfit—loud ballyhoo — and then, after a couple of weeks or months, the realization that while the faces alight be new, the quality, or lack of it, was 'about the sameas ever. NJw arrives a new manager, Ed Sawyer, who comes out flatfooted and says "I'm not promising any- thing." Even if it gets him black- balled by the Managers' guild, his words deserve to be put in Neons over the entrance to the Ball Park. -Even if he doesn't happen to get anXwherc with the team—which is a pretty hard thing to do with the peculiar Toronto setup—!de's going on the sound horse -racing precept that, if you go to the races flat biokc, the worst you can get is an ecce break. + 4 4 One of the profoundest sayings regarding present-day life was mode by n man not ordinarily looked upon as a deep -thinker or philoso- pher. 1t was .jimmy Durante's "Everybody wants to get into (he ad"—and it pretty well sums up a publicity -conscious gcucrat iou that regards "getting your picture in the paper„ as the height of felicity. Ex- amples of this widespread love for "mugging" in front of a camera are so 11142ue5ous that we will mention 07111' one. 1t, eas a-t-Ctfre taken al she scene of a parlica7/a7'ly brutal recent murder—and of eight fairly pro7lrin- ent people facing the camera, only two, or at the outside three, had Jasper Beaver to Britain—Ent route to England as part of Can- ada's donation toward the replenishment of Britain's zoos, these beaver took along their own supply of hardtack. Natives of Jasper National Park, they will feed on tasty, vitamin pack- ed Poplar poles crit for theme by the Park's warden, George Fowile, who is shown serving them their last meal before the jotu•ney,eastward. With three bears for travel mates, the beaver left jasper in a Canadian National Railways express car and 'were transferred to an ocean lister on arrival at Montreal, or Another any reason for being there outside of isorbid Cn7•iositw or a desire lo "get into (he act," 9' * 4 When one team clearly out- classes another, should it go "all- out" g9nd run up as big a score as possible, or should it lance things fairly easy, and keep the scoring down to reasonable 'proportions? That is a question which faces ma- nagers and coaches occasionally, and there doesn't semi to be any really satisfactory answer—outside of "It all depend." * 4 4 Football is perhaps the worst of all sports in this regard; for while a 40 too beating in football is actually not much more one- sided than 7-0 baseball or hockey, it looks that way, And we thought that the University of Toronto Blues were to be criticized when, duringa pre - season trip to the west, they ran up terrific scores on teams that were helpless against their greater power and experience. R 4 * But when we said something of the sort, at the time, it was a Ll. of T. undergraduate who gave us -a clue to ,the reason. "Those guys know that when the real shooting starts, Western Univer- sity Mustangs will wipe the earth ' with them—so they're getting re- venge for those coming shcllack- ings by taking it out on those poor teams out in Saskatchewan and Alberta. 4 * 4 l(faybc he was right, at that; for it is a long time since Ire have seen any outfit dominate the op- position as those Mustangs seemed to do the past couple of seasons or so—and still longer since we have known teams to go on the field apparently satisfied that they were beaten before the opening whistle as the young gentlemen representing Varsity, Queens and old McGill. The "old College spirit"—like a lot of other spirits —seems to be suffering from a bit too much dilutiou. Talk to school teacher's anywhere, and they'll fell you that their task has become harder of recent years because of lbw lessened control they have over their pupils. They always put thr blame for it, (00, an the Parents— the trustees — on anybody anti everybody but themselves. And who are we to a'guc,wit h a school leacher? 9: Y * Then,, just when Tee had ,bout cone to the conclusion that a school teacher's lot is not a happy one, the lady school leachers of a Seventy Years Only Half Span of Life Want to live to 110? You may, say leading scientists who believe that man't natural span of life ac- tually is from 120 to 140 years, says The Encyclopedia Americ- ana. Politman, a surgeon who lived from 1685 to 1821, dying at 140, would, become intoxicated nightly. Brawn, a hard -drinking Irishman who lived to 120, had an inscrip- tion placed on his tombstone 5tat- inug "he was always drunk." Ex- cessive smokers and coffee drink- ers 'are also found among the cen- tenarians. Ross, who won a long- evity Drize in 1896 when he turned 104, was an inveterate smoker. A Mme, Lazennac, who died at 101, smoked a pipe since her youth. Elizabeth Durieux, who lived to 114, drams 40 cups of coffee every day. Dr, Voronoff warns that no one should conclude from such examples that abuses of alcohol, tobacco or coffee have no prejudi- cial influence on health. The ill ef- fects of overindulgence are too well known, but these few examples are cited merely to prove that the secret of longevity cannot be found in sobriety. Magistrate: "Put why did you ,break into this draper's shop fol, nights running?" Defendant: "I got a new• drre- for toy wife and she made m.' FL' back and change it three thwe,.'• certain city elect a "Glautor,,Queen" from among their amidst and, not to br outdone, the male educationists of the sante place promptly choose a masculine counterpart. And instead of beimp properly arhamed the new "Glan,ot; Boy" defended the whole silly business, saying that it might bring before the public the fact that "the men teachers are of a calibre unexcelled in Canada." How such goings -o• affect you, we have no way of telling; but personally it Produces a not -too -faint sickish feel- ing. 4 * 4 Six months or so ago we warned our readers that phony Irish Sweep tickets were becoming more' and more common. Now the au- thorities, bound to stamp out this "evil" have gone about it in a way that will only stake things all the easier for the peddlers of the counterfeits. For now you have no check at all. on the genuineness of the ticket you purchase— for merly, if you got a receipt, you knew at least the money had got to Ireland. * 4 4 Seems to urs that these lotteries are .another of the several things— like handbook making—abota which we might very well take a more realistic view. So long as lotteries are ruts, so long as there is betting en horse races, people are going to buy tickets and back the horse of their, choice. TTTlty all the profits should go to our most undesirable e meals is just another of those ,ratters the never do slope to under- stand.
