Gabraith, Town Clerk, Wingham, Ont, JAMES GRIGG'S BEE Well, Geordie, they's had a bee at Jim Grigg's, Some came there on foot and others in rigs, q'here were lots of men there, they worked very good, For .they sawed, split and piled 28 cords of wood, The same as folks do at other wood bees, Geo. Cook and Herb. Wheeler eut down all the trees, Nick McCrea and Tom Bryclges with axes did trim, Lewis Cook and Ab. Coultes piled up every limb. They were helped by Ed. Mason and Billy Dunbar, Gord. Higgins and Bob. Yuill came • there in a car, While Harry McClenaghan spilt up the blocks, Jimmy Anderson carred them clear of the rocks. Tile sawyers were men •all working in pairs, •tr Joe Dubber and Geo. Jordan had. the M fastest saw there, r "While net to them Orval mid Freddy oft Worked hard, •se 'Telt.• Cook and I3ig Marshall cleaned up the whole yard, Herman Nethery and Many, also • Big Jaelc and Bill, Wilbert Proctor, Mel. Keating and • Joseph McGill. Edgar Wightrnan and Jamieson, Carl Bennett. too, Also H. Cook and Ab. Vincent fromK1amazoq. Kalamazoo. Then little Jack and Percy make up the list, I hope that I have not a single man missed. Oh, yes! there was Geo. Grigg ,who worked very good, And 'he piled up all of the newly, cut wood. Now the reason this bee was put on I can tell, , Was because Jimmy Grigg has . not •been very well, • And his neighbors decided to do a • good turn, By cutting what firewood he needed to burn. • .' It was the month of December, the 29th day, When above event happened, I heard the men say. It's well when the nieghbors have hearts of pure gold, And respond to the S.O.S. call when • they're told. Of a comrade who always was loyal and true, • And who always desired the right • thing to do. Now I hope you'll excuse this every- • day rhyme, If you have patience, I'll do better next time.

For For the Busy Farmer (FurniPbed by, the Ontario Depart,: ment. of. Agriculture) three Ways to Lower Costs There are three principal methods of reducing the cost of prodecting crops. These methods include the economical production of heavier yields per acre, the use of larger ma- chinery and more labor-saving equip- ment, and the operation of a larger area of land under cultivation, Irt addition to •this, information derived from cost of production studies mak- es possible the substitution of more profitable for Iess profitable crops. Swine Improvement Program Simcoe County Live • Stock Im- provement Association has launched a Swine Improvement program for the NeW Year, a step which is in line with the policy of bacon hog im- provement so strongly advocated by provincial and federal agricultural au- thorities with a view to capturnig a share of the British bacon market made available by the Imperial Con- ference agreements. The irnmediate proposal is that the farmers dispose of their cull sows and replace them with sows approved by the Depart- ment. The announcement has been made in this connection that the pro- vincial and federal governments will share the burden of a $2 bonus to the farmer for each sow exchanged. This should aid substantially in in- ducing farmers to participate in the program. • Winter Care of Live Stock Wit hthe coming of winter, farrn- ers should make sure that the barns in which their stock are to pass the cold months are clean and free from pessible infectious diseases or para - sties. Most progressive stockmen whitewash their stables at least once a year, but frequent dutings with an old broom are needed to keep the cob -webs and dust down. Before the cattle leave the pastures for the sea- son, it is good practice to inspect the whole herd for possible skin diseases or parasites. Such diseases as ring- worm, scab or rnange, lice or warb- les, are dangerous and each needs special treatment. Ring-worrni is doubly dangerous because humans may contract it through handling or from curry -combs and brushes. Tinc- ture of iodine applied daily following washing with soap and water will cure ring -worm, but scabies or mange need to be dipped in or sprayed with special •solutions such as crude pe- troleum or equal parts of kerosene and cotton- seed oil, which mixture is also recommended for lice, No animal can give its best milk pro- duction or put on flesh when feeding such parasites.

The hour when all the sounds of earth Tune ,up in one grand song, ' And though all are not in harmony None seem to be in the wrong, The wondrous hour, is introduced By the rooster's loud and luso', Crow, And the gambolling little lamb Answers the bleat of the anxious ewe. The soft breeze rustles the tree tops, The cows in the barnyard bawl, The cardinal whistles, the blue -finch pipes, And the night -things creep and crawl. The brown thrush and the cat bird Try to drown the brilliant song Of the hermit thrush and grosbeak, But only help each other along. Then there comes the wood pewee, To ring your heart with his lone- some cry, The katy did answers the cricket's call' And the kildeer .sweeps the sky. The heavenly notes on the tremulous air Are rent by the night-hawk"s scream, While the complaining notes of the whip-poor-will you from your dream. The uneasy whicker of the mare Is answered by the colt's soft neigh And the clear, sweet notes of the oriole Are swallowed by those of the jay. The night -wind sings a louder song, The tree tops bend and sway, The barn -owl makes his weird reply To the screech -owl not far away. Then comes the cry of the great horned owl, And both their voices does he drown, When a hush seems to fall that cov- ers all, And the great, black night comes on. A. V. P. Elliott.

Additional evidence of the seriousness of Saturday's outbreak was provided by the scene of devas- tation within the prison. A biting zero -weather -laden wind tore through jagged holes and hanging sashes of hundreds of window panes in the prison proper, rendering the interior almost as cold as outside. Convicts muttered and occasionally broke into wild yells of bitterness and rebellion as they sought sleep in the cold be- neath their blankets. Down in the prison yard lay a huge heap of debris, the remains of mis- siles which had been hurled at the guards as they herded the prisoners back into their cells in a battle that raged at fever beat for five and a half hours Saturday afternoon. This is the fourth riot in Canadian penal institutions in recent months. BORN WAYNE-In Wingham, on Tuesday, Jan. 10th, 1933, to Mr. and Mrs. John Wayne, a son.
