HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1946-12-12, Page 7CHRONICLES OF GINGER FIM' By Gwendoline P. Clarke Well, there should be a little more butter on the market now. )3ut definitely! You see, we at Ginger Farm have gone out of the, milk business and into the cream. That is something I have been wanting Partner to do for some time but—welt, shipping milk when one .is short of, help looks the easier, also the financial returns appear to be better. I say "appear" `.because that really is a debatable question. In hard cash the weekly cream cheque at present :prices cannot compare . with a milk cheque at all. But then there are so many angles to consider. Personally 1 fidd a little skim milk around the house is quite an asset. So often I have wanted to make things in the past and didn't because they took too much • milk. Of course :I could have used whole milk but—many of you will know how it is --a milk -ship- ping farmer's wife doesn't use any - more milk than she has to, especi- ally if the cans ere down a bit. Most shippers are on a quota basis and those cans must be filled no matter what. Another good thing about separ- ating—it is just grand to have a little cream for special occasions. Last week when Second Niece was here: we had fruit and whipped cream for dessert. And was that ever a treat! Now please, dear friends, don't write and tell me we should be ashamed to be so extra- vagant; that there are people starving in Europe and that the cream we used should properly have gone into butter. That is probably all very true, but you know, we don't intend to live on whipped cream. And surety it is hardly an ex- travagance to make use of the fruits—in this case the cream—of one's own toil? That is, if it can be used to advantage. * * * And of course we are not the only ones to benefit in this change over from milk to cream. The pul- lets are daily increasing their out- put of eggs as a result, and the cockerels, shut up to fatten, show evidence of fleshing up more rapidly because of having their stash mixed with milk instead of water. However, when we •decided to make this change there was one big fly in the ointment. We couldn't make a job of it without buying a new cream separator—the old one was really past praying for. So we bought a new separator— and while we were at it we got one with a power motor attached. So now we are really set, although 1 might add a separator is an ex- pensive piece of machinery and re presents the price of a good many cans of cream. Maybe if the price of butter goes up it will hart less if a few -people remember that. Separating is also hard work— that is if thereis very much milk. to go through. It has always wor- ried me 'to see Partner doing the job but now it is no trick at all. A few turns of the handle, a flip 'of the switch and away she goes. In fact I 'often do the separating while Partner is feeding the cows. However, as if•to remind us that no plan is ever perfect, last Tues- day the power went off. It was on when I left the house but when 1 got to the barn everything was dead. Of course the separator had to be turned by hand—and that is one time I didn't do the job. And don't think we didn't have some fun getting the separator in- stalled. If you do you want to try it sometime, We placed our order early in the summer. After a few weeks we got the separator. Sometime later the motor arrived and in due time both were installed. But it took us two months to get a switch—just a little switch to start the motor going. And that's the way it goes. • * * Don't you think these shortages of little everyday necessities are really getting people down? It is the constant irritation—or being frustrated at every turn, the hind- rance to our work . . things like that have a way of making people irritable and impatient. And of course we should try not to be. I sent an order away Inc other day for a number of small things which came to nearly five dollars. What I got back was one parcel to the value of 19 cents! Quite a joke, wasn't it? The Taxes We Pay A gallon of ordinary grade gaso- line (at Toronto) costs 3;.% cents. Federal tax is eight cents, provincial tax is three cents, add approximately three and a third cents for other taxes. That means, the fuel that makes your car go places is being provided for arourd 18 cents a gallon. That package of cigarettes costs you 33 cents. About 22 cents of the amount is tax, only 11 cents for the cigarette store, the distributor, the manufacturer and the tobac- co grower, The Financial Post.

Drought Kills Sheep Drought cut down Australia's sheep population by 20,000,000 in in four years up to April, the Aus- tralian statistics bureau reported. In 194.1, 18,000,000 sheep died and 9,000,000 more in 1945 and early 1946. Australia now has 06,396,- 000 sheep. Earth's Photo Made From 65 Miles Up Scientists who 'senta motion picture camera aloft in a German V-2 rocket obtained photos of earth at an altitude of s5 miles. The best shot was obtained at. around 65 miles altitude and covers an estimated 40,000 square miles of earth at the horizon, with the camera around 720 miles away. It shows cloud between earth and the camera; the earth is dis- tinguishable and the sky and earth may be seen • at the horizon. Scientists said the earth's curvature may be noted in this picture.
