Jolmston in the Lon- don Free rPess,) Water power has often been the source around which towns •have grown . or manufacturing . , establislr- n ants been 1brought into ;being. From the Village of Exeter to the Town of Clinton there is a stretch of ,118 miles of the finest of farming land and in the !centre of this fertile area is to he found the compact and thrifty Harn- Ilet of Kippen past which flows the small stream known as Kippen Creek, Today the flaw of water in it is not large except in the spring,. but in :pio- neer days, before the woods were cleared off, there was a large and a1 - most constant supply of .water, the year round with enough Pall to ,give plenty of power. The Canada Company officials, rec- ognizing the vain of •this, were not slow in establishing 'a flour mill, pos- sibly as early as 1'840, The building of the dam vas not •w'ell ,done and the spring floods gave great trouble in washing out parts of it. It was then that Robert Bell, who had come in 11836 and had located south of Hen - sail, was induced to take over the Mill and try to make a success of it. He rebuilt the dam so well that it stood. For over 60 years, needing in that time only minor .repairs, This grist mill. long known as Bell's Mill, serv- ed an area at least 23 miles to the south, 1'0 miles to the north for untold distances east and west. To the 'gristmill a sawmill was added soon after a a Jantes.Anderson .built another sawmill about half a mile further along 'the same creek. All three were prosperous, .and a vil- lage sprang ep •at the corners be- tween the: two points, Robert Meliis opened a blacksmith shop and later started a general store. A school had been opened at an early date. A wagon -staking and carriage - building shop was opened early by William Edgar and later was con- tinued successively by W. C. Kyle, H. McIntosh and H. Ricker until closed in the early part of this century. Henry Shaffer, hotelkeeper for more than a generation, opened a general store across the street from the Mellis shop. He was succeeded by D. 1Veismiller, J. Canning, D. Hay, R. Brownlee, and W. E. Butt, the present postmaster and proprietor. The first settlers in the community included Robert Bell, Robert Doig, William Cooper, ;Tames and John Mc- Lean, James Anderson and William Blair. 01 course, those early settlers who came in the late thirties or early for- ties have long since passed to their reward, but in some cases their des- cendants of the third and fourth gen- erations occupy the farms where those older people toiled so bravely. It was not until November le 1856, that a postoffice was opened with Robert Annan as its first postmaster. The name was suggested by Robert Bell in honor of •his native Village of Kiippen in Scotland. Bell stet the dep- uty postmaster -general in London, who requested him to suggest a name. He suggested Stirling, but the deputy thought it was too "Scotchy" and asked how Mulingar would do, but Bell said it -was too Irish," and then asked if Kippen would do. This met with approval of the .big man and ICippen it has .been ever since. Two churches. rPes•byterian and Methodist, cared for the spiritual needs of the people from the early days until the date of .union in 119215, when both congregations united and St. Andrew's United Church cares for all. The Presbyterian church was built in 18716 and the Methodist in 1869, the people to that .time having met in William Cooper's barn or the old schoolhouse. Although the population of .this pretty little bung has never been many over '100, yet it has always been of real value td the farming com- mienity. KIPPEN Mr. Robt, McDougall of Kenton, Manitoba, is spending a couple of months with ;his many friends in this community.. Miss Francis Anderson is visiting with friends in Kincardine for a week. Mr. Hugh McGregor is improving slowly after his recent illness. Mr. and Mrs, Walter Fairbairn are spending a couple of weeks in Lon- don with friends. Mr. Ed. Caldwell of Regina called on friends in the village recently. Mr. Thomas Workman is keeping much the same as usual.

Profits from 'hogs are depend- ent on two factors, namely, the price received and the cost of production, and although many of the elements governing prices and the cost of feed are beyond the individual's control, it is not beyond his power to take ad- vantage of certain market conditions which are repeated at fairly frequent and regular intervals, Hog prices show a considerable variation from month to month, tUsually the highest prices in any year are paid from July to Septem- ber, a period when nrarketings are low. By farrowing sows in the winter months '(December -February), the in- dividual producer will be able to market his hogs during the July - September period of peak prices. The winter farrowing is admittedly more difficult than production during the so-called normal season, but the ob- stacles can he overcome, just as they were for poultry by supplying heat and store careful feeding. No one can predict future prices for either hogs or feed with any cer- tainty at the time sows are bred, but, while yearly average hog prices dur- ing the past five years have not shown much variation, there have been very drastic Changes in feed prices: low in 1934 and 119315; 'high in 1936 and 1937: and low again in 1938. The combination of high hog prices and low feed prices ip the fall of 1935 led many farmers in some districts to increase the number of sows bred, re- sulting in the greatly increased mar- ketings of 1.1936-317. Many of the '(togs were finished on the higher -priced feeds of 119138 so that much smaller profits than anticipated were obtain- ed. In 1937, the same producers be- came discouraged, decreased the num- ber of sows bred, and now find them- selves with fewer hogs to feed at a time when low feed prices' have made production profitable. Attempting to guess she future prices of hogs and feed simply can- not be done successfully. Farmer's Meetings February 6th, Ontario Swine Breeders' .Association, Toronto.
