noon, Mrs. R. H. Peck had narrow
escape from serious injury. Mrs,
Peck was standing beside the stove
in her apartment on Main Street,
when suddenly the front of the stove

Two Large Barns
Burn at ,Molesworth
Two large barns, joined by a pas-
sage -way, on the farm of Mr. Geo.
Robertson, two miles west of Moles-
worth, were destroyed by fire. The
men were burning brush about . 200
yards from the barns and a spark
from the brush fire got into the barn
where a board was off and ignited the
straw. The ,fire was noticed early and
the men rushed to the barn with a
chemicaltank and almost succeeded
in putting the fire out. The Listowel
fire brigade responded to the call for
help, but could ..do nothing when
they arrived. All the season's crops
were lost, also the implements and a
separator, a few pigs and about 100
hens. The insurance will by no means

Devonshire, near Plymouth, England,
and came to Canada in 1885 at which
time it took eight weeks to cross the
ocean; the trip being made in a sail-
ing vessel. She settled in the vicin-
ity of St. Thomas before the advent
of the railroad. In 1868 she was mar-
ried to Richard Avery who died in
1883. For the past twenty-five years
she has lived in Mitchell.
Blaze Believed Indcendiary
Fire of undetermined origin ,broke
Out' in A. T. Cooper's departmental
store, Clinton, at 2 o'clock Thursday
morning. The fire started in the rear
of the main store among some fancy
goods lying on a small table directly
under the rear window on which also
sat a small sized radio cabinet. The
stock of fancy goods in this depart-
ment was considerably damaged by
fire, smoke and water. The alarm
was turned in before the fire had
made headway and the firemen soon
had it under control. While there is
no direct evidence to substantiate a
theory of incendiarism, viewed in
conjuction with a fire which occurred
in' the same place .and in similar
mariner a few years ago, it has that
appearance.

CARE OF THE
BR..ZEDTNG FLOCK
(Experimental Farms Note)
As soon as they are dry breeding
ewes should be flushed by supplying.
a grain ration such as three parts of
oats and one part of corn or barley,
up to one pound' per day par ewe, or
by providing good rape or clover 'af-
termath pasture. When the pasture is
used care is necessary at the start in
order to 'prevent bloating; the rape
or clover should be dry and the ewes
allowed on it only one or two hours
per day at the start. Before breeding
the flock should be culled and all
ewes that are poor milkers, shy or
non -breeders, poor type, or having
por teeth should be discarded. For
best results the ewes should not be
bred until they are a year old.
After the breeding season is over
the ewes may be wintered on good
quality clover hay and roots uutil 2
weeks before lambing, when a grain
mixture made up of oats, 3 parts,
bran, 2 parts, oil meal, 1 part, should
be supplied and the root ration. re-
duced. After lambing, from one to
two pounds,of grain per day and 3
pounds of roots per ewe together with
all the clover hay the ewes will clean
up should be fed.
During the lambing period every
care and attention should be provid-
ed, in order to save the lamb crop.
Many lambs are lost at this time that
might be saved by,a little care and.
attention on the part of the attend-
ant, and this often means the differ-
ence between profit and loss in the
year's operation.
After the pasture season starts the
same close attention is not necessary,
provided the pasture is of good qual-
ity and a change is made as frequent-
ly as possible to reduce the danger
from internal parasites. The control
of these parasites is one of the major
factors in succesful sheep husbandry
and the two chief points to keep in
mind are frequent changes in pasture
and treatment twice yearly with mus-
tard-bluestone solution or Nema cap-
sules. The flock should be dipped
both spring and fall tocontrol exter

Canadian Wheat Prized in Japan
Owing to the high protein content
and excelent milling qualities of Can-
adian hard wheat, the Japanese arse
it as a standard mixing . substance
.with the softer wheats of Australia
and other countries from which Japan
draws her supplies. All of the Can-
adian wheat imported into Japan, is
not used in the homes of the Japan-
ese entirely. During 1932 ten million
bushels of wheat were manufactured
into flour in Japan for re-export to
China and other eastern c ountries
that are also becoming users of wheat
products, states the Agricultural, De-
partment of the Canadian National
Railways. Generally, flour milling
companies in Japan use foreign wheat
during the first half of the year and
domestic wheat during the second
half.
