Of the crops tested, corn is undoubtedly the best for ensiling. Sunflowers a r e recommended o n heavy, clay soils and in cool di - mates where corn does not do well. Mixtures of. oats and peas, or oats, Peas and vetches make very good silage. Red clover is an excellent silage crop, but alfalfa is rather dif- ficult to ensile and should be used for hay where possible. Buckwheat, cut in full bloom, yields 7 or 8 tons per acre of fairly good silage. Ex- periments are being continued with these and other crops. Paris Wins Society Class Guelph Winter Fair With a total score of 468 points the Paris Agricultural Society was awarded first place in the keenly contested Agricultural culturs1 Soci tY Cl ass for grain at the Winter Fair. Es- quesing Society of Georgetown was a close second with 4551-2 points. As the possible was 600, these are considered very high scores This Class has aroused very wide Interest as the members of each com- peting Agricultural Society must co- operate, in this venture. Each ex- hibit included 6 Iots of grain and seed and no member contributed snore than one lot. As twelve So- cieties competed, the display includ- ed samples from 60 of the best Seed Growers in Western Ontario. Other winning Societies are given in order—Peel County (Brampton) 948 1-2; Carrick (Mildmay) . 447; Teeswater 439; Scott (Uxbridge) 437; Richmond Hill 934 1-2; Mark- ham 426; South Huron (Seaforth) 424. Livestock Figures In Ontario the horse population shows a reduction of 800. Mares and geldings are 2,700 less, due, it is believed, to the reduced fodder sup- plies available last winter, but colts and filles are 1,800 reflecting the stronger demand and higher prices prevailing for horses. Cattle have dropped 25,300 head, decreases oc- curring in bulls, milk yearlings, cal- ves, and steers over 2 years. Milk cows are down 1.076 head in Eastern Ontario but up 6,000 in the aggre- gate for the province. Beef cows have increased 2,000 head and beef yearlings 1,400. For the fifth suc- cessive year sheep and lambs record a decrease, being placed at 946,700 on June 1st, 1936, as compared with 962,300 on June lst, 1934. Brood sows are up considerably in each sec- tion except Southern Ontario, but other pigs over six months showed a heavy falling off in numbers, with the result that the total swine popu- lation over 6 months old. decreased by 3,000 head. Swine under 6 months are on the upward trend again and are 50,400 higher than a year ago. The number of sows intended to far- row in the next 6 months is well a- hove last year. Hens and chickens show a rise of 164,200, being 21,731,- 200 this June and 21,567,000 in June 1934. Dressed Poultry for the Christmas Trade Thousands of birds are destined • for the Christmas market as dressed poultry, but, to obtain the highest prices, most of them should be well finished by the pen or crate method, since the quieter the birds are kept the better the quality of finish. The length' of the finishing period, may vary from two to three weeks, de - `pending on the condition, age and feeding of the bird. For the finishing work, the selec- tion and grading of the birds accord- ing to vigour, condition, size, age and sex ,are extremely important. It is usually advisable to discard the non -vigorous birds 'and, invest extra capital and labour only in those that will return profit. Before the birds are placed in the crates for feeding, they should be treated for lice and starved for at least twenty-four hours. It is advis- able to administer a dose of laxa- tive, to clean them out, in the form of Epsom salts dissolved in water at the rate of one pound to 100 birds. The solution is used for mixing • the first feed. The importance of proper dressing cannot be over -emphasized. In,killing and preparing poultry for market the birds should be starved for at Ieast 24 hours before being killed, have access to clean drinking water, be properly bled so that no blood re- mains in the extremities, be undrawn with the head and feet left on, be dry plucked although a few feathers may be left around the head, be dry cool- ed,, with feet and vent clean, all blood removed from the mouth, and the crop empty. It is preferable that the heads should be wrapped. All the body heat should be out of the bird before packing, and every care should be taken to keep poultry from freezing before it is delivered. Cutting the Fuelwood Farmers who are fortunate enough to own a woodlot soon will be cut- ting fuel wood for next year. Late fall and early winter is the ideal sea- son for working in the bush as the ground is frozen and there is usually very little snow. Before starting the work it would be advsable to look over the woodlot and decide the location of the sea- son's operations. The future should always be considered in woodlot man- agement, as the - cutting done now will determine the composition and value of the woods 10, 50 and 100 years hence. Owners who have not fenced part of their bush from stock should consider the advisability of- doing so, as the value and often the preserva- tion of the woodlot depends on wheth- er stock are shut out, as small seed lings and saplings of decidious trees, (maple, ash, beech, etc.) will be browsed and the evergreens will be broken by stock. The fence might be constructed in the winter by ut- ilizing the trees as posts. The wire should be fastened to strips that are nailed to the trees. The fuelwood could be cut from the part that is left in with the pasture. Often the fuelwood may be cut and the woodlot left in better growing condition if care in selecting trees is taken. Large trees that are interfer- ing and holding back promising young might wisely be removed. De- fective trees should be utilized as 'of- ten their value is decreasing. The less valuable species (weeds) such as ironwood, blue beech, poplar, pin. cherry should be largely eliminated from the woodlot as they will if left continue to seed up the bush and take up space that might be growing val- uable white ash, sugar maple, pine, spruce, etc. The trees are generally too crowd- ed in a second growth stand, A thinning that removes defective, crooked, weed trees and trees that are shaded by their more vigorous neighbors would result in a marked improvement of the woods. These polewood stands are often clean-cut for fuelwood when a judicious thin- ning would yield fuel wood and in- crease the value of the woods. If the owner is not doing the cut- ting himself he should mark the trees that are to be cut by blazing or daubing them with paint. Care in felling is very necessary, as the small trees have a high potential val- ue. • A bulletin on` The Woodlot will be sent on application to The Forests Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toren to, or it may be obtained from the county Agricultural Representative.

It is possible his neighbors, if he had any, were unaware of his circumstances, as he appears to have been moving from place to place. Whether he did so voluntarily, was not disclosed at last week's meeting of the County Legislature, but when his case was brought to the attention of the members of that body, steps were promptly taken to protect the old man. There are plenty of people; who proclaim, without any apparent regret or shame, that the world owes them a living. The old man in this instance is, evidently of a .finer fibre. and has not been pressing for the assistance to which he seems to be justly entitled. ^ A home and a pen- sion may be his desserts, and let us hope he gets goth.- eGoderich Star.

THE GIFT SLEEP But to woo sleep it is necessary to relax, and here we come to the crux of the matter. Difficult and not very profitable is it to attempt to sleep when the body Is tense. We must learn to relax, and anything that enables us to relax will help us to sleep. Reading in bed aids, pro- viding it is a dull book. One ,man put himself to sleep with the Encyc- lopedia Britannica; a minister re- ports he can not keep awake if he goes over the points of the next ser- mon. -Hamilton Spectator. STOVE BLOWN TO PIECES BUT NO ONE WAS HURT On Sunday morning while two oc- cupants of the home of Mrs. Porteous were still in bed and another had gone down stairs and was working around, the stove in the kitchen ex- ploded and pieces were hurled about the room. It is thought that there was something the matter with the water front and upon becoming ov- erheated the accident occurred. For- tunately no one was near the stove at the time and no other damage resulted.—Mitchell Advocate. CONTRADICTIONS A despatch from Berlin the other day conveyed the information that Prof. Van Der Velde, a Dutch doctor of medicine, is being sued for divorce, his wife alleging "insurmountable in- compatibility of temperament." The irony of the story is in the fact that the medico is author of a comprehen- sive volume on marriage which has excited much attention on the con- tinent It is entitled "The Perfect Wedlock," It is not the first example of such contradictions. A couple of years ago an American issued a book show- ing how man may live to a ripe age in perfect health. The book had many readers and devotees, yet the author passed away in the early 50's with a weak heart. A study of present-day economic thought also provides a rich field of contradictions. Such a reputable journal as the Saturday Evening Post recently declared the American government robbed millions by reval- uing the American dollar at 69 cents. b u t Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale claims it is worth $1,16. They can't both be right—or can they? Miss Agnes Macphail, M.P., was once sent to Geneva as a Canadian delegate to the League of Nations and for years she has been an ardent supporter of this organization as a bulwark for peace. Yet, when the League of Nations became more than a meeting -place for peace advo- cates and was called upon to play more than a passive role as peace- maker between Italy and Ethiopia, we find the. Iady-member becoming "North' American conscious" and urg- ing the U.F.O. to let Europe fight its own battles, Whether this view is right or not, it seems a contradiction to urge support for the League of Nations with one breath and to urge its abandonment with the other. Indeed, while on this subject, how can one reconcile Canada's support of the League of Nations and its sanc- tions clause with the haste with which Canada withdrew its support of sanctions. Britain announces its determina- tion to have peace in the world even by the use of force (itself a contra- diction) and then plans to spend two billion dollars for armaments, not for war but for peace! Verily, the world is full of contra- dictions. ---Hanover Post. HARMONIZE COLORS. It is not unwise around Christmas time to reiterate one's color scheme. Members of a family who have no color scheme should be given one. When giving your best friend a vase, remember her wall paper. A blue jug may be lovely in the shop but terrible against her black and red walls. Not only should one remem- ber a color, scheme in choosing gifts but the period motifs and price scale as well. Too elegant a sofa pillow might throw a friend's living room entirely out of tune. FAR ME R 5 YOUR WORLD ANDMINE by JOHN C.

He has a girl friend,and of course,he asked her to go with him. All the day of the party, and indeed, the day before, his conversa- tion with his associates in his depart- ment was about the party. The lad was excited. He sent his best suit to the pressers. He had his shoes polished by a professional bootblack. He bought a new tie. He did other unusual things, including going to the barber. And, I am sorry to say, he took with him to the party a flask of whiskey, because this seem- ed to be the correct thing to do. The youth took his girl to and from the party in a taxicab, and pre- sumably he sent her flowers. The next day his talk was all a- bout the party: So far as I know he did not get tight; nor did the girl drink from his flask—this so far as I know. All I .know is that he felt it to be necessary to take whisky with him to the party and to drink and of- fer drink—the drink of hard liquor._ Let me tell of another party. The youth of whom I write can hardly be identified, because there are so many of him. He is under 20 years of age. He is—or rather was — a student. He took a girl to a party in his father's car. At the party he drank a good deal of wh sky — whether his own whisky or whisky provided by others doesn't matter. Going home, he was fuddled, and he ran down a woman and killed her. He was charged with manslaughter, and is now in a prison serving a 3 - years' sentence. His parents have had to pay heavily for his crime— and they are people in very ordinary circumstances. They did not know that their son never touched whisky. 1 heard of another young chap— at a party in a great hotel. His moth- er was also at tate party, and was boasting to her friends that her son never touched whisky. Yet the son was "whooping it up" in a bedroom on another floor—the ringleader of a gay drinking party. I am telling stories so common that they are hardly worth the tel- ling. I could go on telling of in- stances where youngsters under 20, were drunk before they ever got to the parties to which they took young 'girls—starting off to the party about 11 p.m. Nothing that I can say is likely to have the slightest effect on youths who have already acquired the flask habit—whothink that a party is not a party unless each youth has a flask and unless all get tight before they start for home. I have to think that the girls who go with them condone the flask habit, and that most of them take a swig or two or three or four—until they get drunk or near it. I confess that I am a- ghast by this social development. I am quite sure that the whisky is not enjoyed. It is just something, which is naughty—and which incites young people to be daring. They find some sort of thrill by doing what seems to be forbidden. It is a form of show- ing off. Now, showing off is, I suppose, ab- solutely necessary to youth. When Tom Sawyer wanted Becky Thatch- er's admiration and favour, he turn- ed handsprings, walked a fence, and did other feats of skill and courage; and probably he was rough with oth- ers, his companions, on the street, to show Becky how strong he was and how bold. 'I went through the show- off period when I was in my teens. I talked loudly in the hearing of the girl whom I wanted to be my girl. I knocked others down. I ran about like a colt to attract attention to my- self. I tried to be a smarty in a doz- en ways. I suppose that until the end of time youths will be cut -ups at church parties, at school, on the street. To show off is a primitive emotion. Youths. have to be very brave and bold and rough and loud- mouthed, and fighty. And I suppose that they think that they have to drink whisky in order to impress the girl. The unfortunate thing about whis- ky -drinking is that it becomes a hab- it; whereas being rough and noisy is just a phase of youthful love-mad- ness—something escaped from as soon as age 20 or so is reached, Yet is not really necessary to be a show- off. The tendency to show off can be conquered the same as other ten- denciescan, It takes will power and thought power to enable a young fel- low of 17 or 18 to refrain from row- dyism when his love madness impels him to be foolish. But lads of 17 can and do exercise will power' and continual use of whisky becomes a habit, clamoring for indulgence, just as going to the movies, or the chew- ing of gum, or the reading of Wild West or detective tales can become a habit clamoring for repeated in- dulgence. And the whisky habit, like all -other habits, is conquerable. Since it for the praise or admira- tion of girls that so many young chaps take whisky to parties, it rests with girls to discourage their swains from . the practice of this habit. I cannot see any sensible girl encour- aging a youth or man to drink whis- ky or to acquire the whisky habit if she hopes or means to marry him. If she tolerates—and even shares with him—his whisky drinking habit, then, of course, she is lighting a fire which will consume them both. A girl can easily say to her cavalier, "You can't take both me and whisky to parties," and' she can in other ways influence the youth whom she fascinates to ac- quire the character that he ought to have—for his own sake and for hers. We all know that far too many of the stories in our magazines and far too many books make cocktail drink- ing and whisky drinking very pale sins—make this habit and other lax practices seem to be the correct and the everyday thing. And we all know that the example of older people — even one's parents -- makes it easy for young people to do a lot of things Which are definitely harmful to con- duct, morals and personal progress. It is more to those young people who have not yet begun the silly, senseless, harmful and destroying practice of taking whisky, at any time or anywhere, that I am hopeful- ly addressing myself. I want to say to them that they lose nothing and gain much by maintaining tate integ- rity of their characters. Even those who may be sinners themselves in respect of this matter of whisky ap- prove of those who let whisky a- lone. The man seeking employment learns this. This is all I want to say about whisky at this time. DOINGS .IN THE SCOUT WORLD Over 1200 Scout leaders attended a Scouters' conference at Manchester, England. Tribute To N.Y.

A Physical Training Pageant A pageant depicting physical train- ing down through the ages, --the me- thods of Greece, China, early Britain, Elizabethan England, the American Indians,—was presented by 5,000 Boy Scouts and Cubs in connection with the Manchester autumn conference of Scout leaders. • Next World Scout Jamboree the Fifth The World Boy. Scout Jamboree an- nounced to be held in Holland in 1937 will be the fifth of these great international youth gatherings. The first was held in London, in 1920, the second at Copenhagen in 1924, the third at Birkenhead, England, m 1929,.and the fourth at Godollo, near Budapest, Hungary, in 1933.

A Candaian Indian Costume For A Scottish Scout Troop A recent gift from New Brunswick to a Boy Scout troop in Scotland that Railways Complain of Unfair Competition from Busses and Trucks Like the forgotten man of the last presidential campaign, the railways of Canada are rapidly drifting into the forgotten class, Said Hon. C. P. Fullerton, K.C., chairman of 'the Board of Trustees, Canadian Nation- al Railways, who officially opened the Bessborough, latest addition to the company's . chain of hotels at Saskatoon, at a luncheon held on De- cember '10th. Forgotten by shippers in favor of busses and trucks, forgotten by the governments in their failure to apply the same regulations to the busses and trucks as were applied to them, the railways were gloomily reflect- ing in their annual statements the heavy expenditures of maintaining roadbeds, paralleled by public high- ways which enabled the bus and trucks to take away revenues on which the railways were dependent for their existence. Admitting that the truckle and bus had a legitimate place in the trans- portation field and a right to oper- ate under fair conditions, the Cana- dian National !chairman pointed out that unregulated competition might have highly undesirable results. He showed how the railway rate struc- ture was designed. to move such low class commodities as lumber, grain and coal while making up essential revenues by charging higher rates on the more valuable and less bulky commodities. "These latter commodities a r e what the trucks are after and what they are getting. They pick the more lucrative traffic, leaving the low grade commodities to be trans- ported by the railways," he said. "It Is almost a mathematical certainty doubtless will be appreciated, was a complete Micmac Indian ceremonial dress, including the feather head- piece, made by Chief Polches, his wife and daughter, on the KingscIear Reserve. The dress was the gift of Mrs. H. N. Stetson, daughter of Ma- jor General H. H. McLean , V,D., former Lieutenant -Governor of the province. During the summer Mrs, Stetson and her daughter visited a Scout Jamboree in Scotland, and were much impressed with the work of the boys. A BLANKET HUNG OVER HER ARM Editor, Dear Sir: I see by the paper that the Hos- pital for Sick Children in Toronto is now sending out its Annual Ap- peal for funds to enable it to carry on successfully for the next twelve months. This brings back to my mind the last time 1 had occasion to be in, that Institution. An incident impressed it very vividly on my mind. A bewildered sad -faced woman preceded me down the low, wide stone stairs leading to the front door of the Hospital A blanket hung over her arm. "Ah yes," I said to myself, "that signifies only one thing. She has just left her child here for treatment. The poor thing!" I wondered if I should try to com- fort her, or if anything I might say would only make her feel worse. I overtook her as 1 debated, just in time to steady her as she stumbled on the last step. It came naturally enough that we should drop on a hall bench; and there, seeing my sympathy, she brought forth her desperately tragic story in broken sentences: It was wash clay. She had just stepped out of the kitchen into the dining -room to take off the it that she had decided, at the last minute, to add to the wash. There was a sound of some heavy object striking the floor, a swish of failing water, a childish scream of fright and pain. In a split second, a bright sunny morning had become a nightmare of unbelievable horror. Her three-year-old child had pulled over her a huge pot of boiling water. Her little body was terribly scald- ed. Her face had miraculously escaped. "Will she live, will she live," sobbed the distracted mother. Touching the blanket on her arm she said, 'I can take this blanket home that we brought her in, but I have to leave her, my baby, ,with strangers. 1 want to hold her in my own arms and soothe her, poor frightened little one!" I hesitated as to whether I should tell her of my hospital experience, but, although terrible for me at the - time, I knew it was nothing com- pared with hers. However, I thought it would help, so I forced back my tears and holding her hand in mine, II told her how very good the nurses 'and doctors had been to my small son when I brought him to them et the age of seven with a broken leg to ,,mend. "They will be so tender with the baby and nothing will be left undone," I assured her, "not only to save the little life, but to prevent ugly scarring." We left the Hospital together and, parting at the corner, she thanked me sincerely for eny sympathy. I think I had man aged to comfort her, a little, at least. Each day for weeks, I telephoned the Hospital to learn how the child was. For many days its life hung by a thread, but they would not let it go. At last one morning I was joyfully toldit would recover. I have since had the great pleasure of seeing this little one, who is now a happy, laughing school girl I This is my remembrance of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, 1 Yes, I'm sending the Hospital my gift of money to -day, the largest I 'can spare, and I do trust ethers will 'do so,, too, for I think it is worthy, of help from everyone. rA MOTHER OF FOAM that if this unregulated competition continues to increase, the day will come when the rates on low cities commodities will have to ue increas- ed if the railways are to continue to n operate." He indicated the profound effect this- would have on the domes- tic and import trade of Canada. In a review of this year's opera- tions of the CanadianNationalRail- ways, Mr. Fullerton released some striking figures which showed an op- • _, erating profit for the railway's hotel system more than double the 1934 figures, an operating loss of $127,- 000 in connection with the merchant , marine in 1934 transformed into an , estimated profit this year of $273,- 000 and an estimated profit of $164,- 000 for the West Indies steamship line which has shown an unbroken, if decreasing, record of deficits since ' its inception in 1929. Surpassing even these figures, the:: chairman predicted a gross revenue for the railway system of $173,000,- • 000 for 1936, a •betterment of $8,- 000,000 over 1934. In presenting the statement, he. compared the railway's showing this • year with that of 1931, when the: gross revenue was $200,000,000. Al- though earnings in 1931 had been $27,000,000 .more than in 1936, the - company will have $13,100,000 more.. net revenue this year than in 1931. Enormous economics had been put: into effect to make such a showing. possible. "Without ti attemP g the e role o n 8` prophet• I think we can reasonably' feel recovery is now assured. Our. exports and imports are increasing. Recent trade treaties are expected! to increase the volume of traffic moving and 1936 should see us well' on the way to recovery," Mr. Fuller- ton predicted. Concluding with a word about rail -- way hotel systems, the speaker gave an estimation of the value of the. tourist trade to Canada. "One frequently hears the argu- ment that the policy of the railways, constructing hotels was all wrong. I am willing to admit that certain of these hotels were overbuilt but where, I ask you, would the tourist' business of Canada be today if these hotels had never been built? If it be' fully recognized that service to the travelling public is one of a railway's primary considerations, whatever criticism can be made of overbuilding hotels must be necessarily to some extent be modified." NEWS, OF HAPPENINGS. IN THE COUNTY AND DISTRICT SEAFORTH: A quiet wedding was solemnized at the Church of Christ parsonage, Poplar Hill, when Rev. Cecil E. Harvey united in mar- riage Barbara Ellen Aberhart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George B. Aberhart, of Seaforth, to Colin C. Zavitz, of London, son of Walter A. Zavitz, and the late Mrs. Mary Zav- itz, of Merton. The bride was charming in a brown chiffon velvet gown, trimmed with silver flowers and brilliants' with accessories in tones of brown and silver. For tra- velling, she donned a smart brown brown coat with red fox fur collar and golden color metallic hat. The attendants were Mrs. Ira Zavitz, of -London, sister of the bride, and Ira Zavitz, brother of the groom. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Colin Zayitz Ieft on a short wedding trip. GODERICH: Citizens here were deeply shocked when it was learned that Dr. Edgar Swarts, only surviv- ing son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Swarts, had died suddenly at his home in Canton, N.Y., after only a few hours' illness. Dr. Swarts, who was in his 39th year, was born in Goderieh, and was a graduate of Goderich Collegiate and the Clinton Model School. After teaching in the Oshawa public schools for a time he entered Queen's University. After graduating from there, he practised medicine in -Sellwood, later taking a post -graduate course in Broad street Hospital, New York, He married Miss Martha Amanda Goe of New York, where he settled for a time be- fore going to Canton, Besides his wife he is survived by two sons aged two and nine. Mrs. Thomas Swarts and Mrs. William McDonald left here by motor on Sunday, to attend the funeral in Canton Monday afternoon. Widespread sympathy is everywhere expressed for Mr. and Mrs. Swarts. The past four years have brought bereavement three times to them, First in the tragic drowning of, their son, Ernest, in 1931, which was closely followed by the death of their little granddaughter, and then the passing of Dr. Edgar Swarts. In that time Mr. Swarts also suffered the amputation of a leg. He was unable to take the journey to Canton. READ . ALL THE ADS. IN THE NEWS -RECORD
