The Iron Bossie ��t ''pees To yv ar Homer tells us how a Greek 'army succeeded in subduing' the tough Trojans with the aid of a wooden horse. The wooden horse of Tray has its modern counterpart in Amer- ica's iron cow, The iron cow is an yin•' genieus,, steel -plated Bessie whose. metallic udders are helping to beat down the Axis by solving one of the war's biggest supply problems that of providing fresh mills for our fight- ing forces. The longest that even the most carefully refrigeratedmilk will keep is two weeks, Consequently, soldiers in tropical or remote, barren regions and sailors on the high seas have been deprived of what science calls the most perfect single food known to man. Dried milk powder, however, will keep for a long time and refrig- erated sweet butter will keep for six months. The American iron cow has solved the milk -for -our -fighters problem by utilizing these two products. Fed the right quantities of distilled wat- er, butter and milk powder, she will produce 1,000 quarts of the best, milk daily. The iron Bessie has introduced a new battleship cocktail to the Amer lean Navy—a glass of nice, cold milk. Sailors are finding they are better off at the milk bar below deck than they are on shore where other' bars serve expensive hangovers. Beside her ability to keep the com- plement of the dreadnought contin- ually supplied with the best milk- shakes and ice cream, iron Bessie possesses many practical advantages over her live sisters. These advan- tages are of considerable importance on board a battlewagon. Iron Bossie stays put and never gets tempera- mental. She never kicks the pail over and she doesn't attract flies. She is immune to the foot and mouth dis- „""e and never dirties the deck. Her milk never; sours from fright. 'She's s good gal that produces unflinching- ly in the 120 -degree heat of the tro- pics or in the imnus-50 temperatures of the Arctic. Provide her with some grease to keep her limber, an occa- sional squirt of oil' and her daily ra- tion of butter, milk powder and die- tilled ietilled water and she'll give till you shut her off. The world's first mechanical cow was horn in a Pennsylvania machine shop about six year ago. A group of employees of -an old separator com- nany set up a dairy equipment fac- tory. Today there is a herd of about 500 bolted bovines widely dispersed over the globe. There is one on ev- ery American warship of any real. size, in every American army camp from Guadalcanal to Iceland and in every coastal outpost and Naval hospital. The mother of the herd went down in eastern waters with the submarine tender Canopus. When the Japs took Wake and' Guam they foolishly hacked two Bossies to pieces, not understanding their pur- pose. Later they discovered that the Iron Bossie shot milk, not missies, and that she could be made to churn for the Axis as readily as she churn- ed for us. Accordingly, when they captured three on Corregidor, they praised their Shinto gods for the prize catch. The mechanical cow operates like a cream separator in reverse. All of us remember' that old movie trick of reversing the camera to make a diver come back from the water to the div- ing board. The Iron Bessie does the same thing. It makes milk backwards. Milk belongs to the class of com- pounds called emulsions. In the me- chanical cow the ingredients of milk are emulsified with gears and levers instead of by bovine biology. The basie action is centrifugal mo- tion, the same action that is utilized in a cream separator. But in the cream separator this notion forces the constituents of milk apart. In the mechanical cow it throws them, together' again. Abandoned Farms in Eastern ,,Canada Mg new laud or original tarest COM? . Iu orclet to auswol' this eine s tion'sattisiacioi'ily a very 'careful sur- vey of each individual piece of'abanil- oned property must bo shade and the reasons why it was -abandoned stad- led, Manns farms were abandoned be- cause the lain' was originally sub• marginal for agrlctiltgral ptu'iroses and no farmer could be, expected to make a satisfactory living on such' land after the forest resources wore exhausted, On outer faults the land, although originally of fair quality, !As been gradually exhausted by ruin; ,sound far • mem otices, Some !arras had to be vacated because the acre- age of suitable farm land was too small to provide a 'livelihood for the farmer. The farms which have been aband- oned for the reasons given are a1 - most invariably poor prospects for fu- ture settlers. Such land, in most. cases, is of greater value to the state and the individual if it Is left to re- vert to forest, In some oases it pray even be advisable to assist nature by planting young tree seedlings. It should be observed that many farms located on good soils have been abandoned for various personal, soc- ial and economic reasons, The right type of settler could make a good home and build up a sound, economic enterprise on such land if he had the opportunity and so it would be very much easier to become established on some of these farms than to clear. new forest land 'and bring it under cultivation. In Eastern Canada are between 12,000 and 13,000 farms, covering' about one and one•half million acres, which have been abandoned and' have been idle for some time. This,. condition exists despite the fact that many thousands of acres of new wooded land have been cleared and settled in some parts of Eastern Can- ada during the last ten years, states P. C. Stobbe, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Should this abandoned land, which to a large extent has already been cleared of its forest, ,be used for land settlement. purposes instead of clear Soybeans Valuable for Their Oil An analysis of the seeds of soy- beans shows that high protein and oil contents are characteristics ' of this crop. Protein may be utilized either as livestock feed or for indust- rial uses. Soybean oil is extensively used by manufacturers, says C. W. Owen of the experimental station at Harrow, where the production of soybeans is a feature. Processing soybean seeds extracts the oil and leaves soybean meal. The soybean oil is classed as a vegetable oil in common with such oils as lin- seed, peanut, etc, as contrasted to oils of mineral origin, The oil is also used for food purposes. In the Unit- ed States over half the soybean oil Produced is used in shortenings and margarines. The remainder is used in varying amounts by the soap and varnish industries. Liuseed oil is the principal vege- table oil produced in Canada. There is plenty of room for expansion of soybeans, particularly in Southwest ern Ontario, Under existing war con- ditions vegetable oils have assumed unusual importance. An increasing number of dairy farmers are growing soybeans for their own use as a high protein dairy feed and obtaining ex- cellent results. The whole beans are crushed and fed in mixtures with other ;rains. USEFUL HINTS ON CARE OF HEDGES ToT paraphrase an old adage, to spare the shears is to spoil the hedge. After it is planted properly, the 'most important point in the development of it good hedge ie to cut it back the• first year as severely as it will stand, says R. W, `Oliver, Ottawa, A deciduous hedge, 01 a hedge witiclt is not an evergreen, should be cut to within a few inches of the ground as soon as it is planted in the spring; with evergreen pinch out about half of the current season's growth about the middle of June for spruce, pine and yew, attd about the first of September for cedar. If the hedge is allowed to grow tall before trimming commences, the bottom I will never fill in thickly. After the initial trimming, one trimming a year about the time that active growth starts will keep the hedge tidy. In districts where the snowfall is heavy the top of the hedge should be rounded of pointed to prevent the weight of snow from breaking it down. The sides should slope in towards the top so as to allow more light to reach the lower foliage and keep it healthy, Like other living things hedges require food and water. A good top dressing of well -rotted barnyard man- ure may be spread over the soil on each side of the hedge ,in autumn, and lightly forked into the surface in spring—deep digging will destroy the roots. During the first year the beige should receive a liberal supply of water, but once established watering is not so necessary. �. A Frenchman was relating his ex- perience in studying the English lan- guage, He said: "When I first discov- ered that if I was quick, I was fast; that it was tied, I was fast;; if I spent too freely, I was fast; and that not to eat was to fast, I was discour- aged- But when I cane across the sentence, 'The first one won one, dollar prize.' I gave up trying," The Weaning of Lambs Lambs are usually weaned at ap- proximately five, motiths of age, that is about in.late August or in Septem- ber depending upon conditions. The lambs should be separated from the main flock dad pasture or a feed lot provided, preferably at some distance from the ewe flock. Wether lambs and ewe lambs intended for market should be separated from the lambs to be held for breeding purposes. Those intended for market may be placed on rape or alfalfa pasture, and gradually started on grain so that as the pasture becomes less luxut'Iant they will be approaching a full grain ration. The stubble field, quite satisfactory for breeding stock, provides too much exercise for market lambs and makes for growth rather than fattening. The most desirable weight for market iambs is from 80 to 90 pounds, and this should be kept in mind when considering the age of weaning and fattening for market as some breeds tend to become too large before get- ting the desired finish, FALL FAIR DATES Blyth Sept. 14, 15 Kincardine Sept. 16, 17 Harriston - Sept. 23, 24 Listowel Sept. 22, 23 Lucknow Sept. 22, 23 Seaforth Sept. 23, 24 Stratford Sept. 20-23 Arthur .................
