The HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY Next week the Horticultural Soc- iety will hold its annual meeting and as usual, the officers for the year will be elected: The interest in this soc- iety has been on the wane for the past few years and unless the .members talc a greater interest and a much larger membership is enrolled, the so- ciety will have much difficulty in carrying on as it should. We are sure that the citizens of thistown do not want this society to cease functioning as has happened in many towns and villages during the past few years. However, there is but one way to keep it alive. Be a. member—attend the meetings—help in every way you can. * * WOOD LOT FOR UNEMPLOYED Goderich Iast year purchased 'a wood lot to help relieve the unem- ployment in their town, and, accord- ing to the Goderich papers, it was a financial success. The Town Council of that town have again this year pur- chased the right to remove wood from another lot and the unemployed of that town will again go forth to cut wood. The principle of keeping men busy instead of idle is.a splendid one and to some extent in Goderich this wood lot idea has served this purpose. It is passible that this idea could be used here satisfactorily. * * * * WOMEN CAN HELP A LOT Apparently in Goderich Mrs. Geo. Johnston has given good service to the public school board as she was this year accorded an acclamation. Another woman will also sit on this board, Mrs. D. D. Mooney; she also was elected by acclamation. Thequestionis, how did these wo- men become interested in this line of endeavour? The answer is quite simple. They both held leading pos- itions on the executive of the Hoene and School Club and, while serving with this club decided to enter the larger field. Many towns in Ontario and many. towns in this district have Home and School Clubs and they are serving a very useful purpose in their comtnun- sties. We have often heard it said that Wingham should form one of these clubs. We believe it would be a splendid organization ° to have here. * * *"* PICTURES We are not the world's most en- thusiastic motion picture fan, but we find ourselves going to the pictures oftener than we used to, and • getting more satisfaction out, of them,.

Better stories,. better acting, better sound reproduc- tion. We find much less that is of- fensive to our sense of good taste and decency than we used to, less of the sort of thing that is apparently aimed at the lowest mental and moral types. No greater mistake can be made by anybody who seeks to entertain or instenct people than to underestimate their capacity for discriminating be- tween good and bad. • No newspaper ever succeeded whose editor thought it nccesary, to "play .down to the supposed low level of its readers' in- telligence. It looks as if the motion picture people had discovered the best they can offer is not too good for their audiences: They have also discovered that it is not necessary to be dull to be decent. * * * * CATTLE PRICES Last Fall Hon. Duncan Marshall predicted here that the price of cat- tle would rise in 1935. In a recent issue of The Globe' Hon. R. P. Ken- nedy, who is well informed on such matters, also made this seine state- ment. It is our • sincere hope that, these predictions come true as an im- provement in the cattle markets would mean much to the farriers of this district as well as throughout Canada. It is a well-known fact that unless commodity prices rise to a fair level we cannot look for much provement. * * E ip Canada is truly a young country in more ways than one. Premier R. 1, Bennett said in a recent speech that not less than a million and a half of the six million persons who are eligible to vote in the next election are said to be under the age of 30. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS Published by direction of the Hon. Robert Weir, Minister of Agriculture. Canadian Poultry Advance In recent years Canada has forged to the front in poultry production and is now one of the leading countries in quantity and quality of production per unit. This development cannot be at- tributed definitely ttributeddefinitely to any one factor or group of factors but rather to a general program of Dominion, Pro- vincial and institutional work, "Scien- tific Agriculture" points out. The re- search and experimental work along the various branches of the industry have " continually inclined to lower production costs, removing many of the hazards which confront the poul- tryman, and have enabled him to car- ry an, even at lowerprices for his products. The introduction of grad- ing and better organized marketing conditions, have further assisted in improving the general situation. Im- proved quality in the product result- ing from advanced knowledge of poultry nutrition, improved methods of handling, and grading of the pro- duct have stimulated home consump- tion until to -day Canada stands pre- eminently the greatest consumer of eggs per capita of any country in the world. In spite of what has already been done in connection with many phases of the poultry industry, many problems still remain to be dealt with in placing it on the most satisfactory and successful basis front a commerc- ial and economical standpoint. Agriculture and Leather The old saying "There's nothing like leather" might appropriately be used by Canadian agriculture which in 1933 supplied 88 tanneries in the Dominion with hides and; skins to be turned into leather for boots, shoes, harness, gloves, coats, trunks, hand- bags, pocket -books, and patent leath- er. With reference to the last men- tioned item, an interesting develop- WINCONINNIN ME supra '1iA®ws',s ill tfnnnIMO ; lit Buyers Of " . Eg and oulti T E UNIT FARM S' COOPERATIVE COUPANY. L1M TED.

BROKE HER LEG AGAINST A CHAIR Whilst Hain ,tired by Rheumatism, "Two years ago," writes a woman, "I was suffering with rheumatism in my legs, and when walking upstairs one day just kicked my right foot against the stairs, and brolde my leg just below. the knee. I was in hospi- tal for four months, and when I carne out someone advised me to try Krus- chen Salts. I did so, and now I have no trace of rheumatism. I would not be without my daily dose of Kruschen which I take every morning—half a teaspoonfulin warm water."—Mrs, P, 13, The six salts in Kruschen stimulate the, liver and kidneys to healthy, reg- ular action: assist them to get rid of the excess uric acid which is the cause of rheumatic pains.When pois- onous uric acid goes—with its depos- its of needle -pointed crystals -there's no doubt about those aches and pains going tool ment of Canada's international trade, in recent years is that Canada stands first in the British market with, her supply of patent leather. Another notable point is that the skins and hides front Canadian farms are used to a greater extent in Canadian tan- neries than those of foreign origin, Canadian cattle hides representing 72 per cent. of the total of that kind us- ed in 1933. The weight of the cattle hides in all amounted to 63,867,012 pounds; that of calf and kip skins to 12,510,11.7 pounds; and that of pickled sheep skins to 3,621,303. Year by year, more Canadian cattle hides are being saved to the farmer through the efforts of the Dominion, Provincial, and local agricultural authorities in stamping out the ravages of warble flies and other pests. In 1933 there was an increase both in the amount of hides and skins used, and the price paid for them by pound, but as the result of an extensive survey by the National Research Council it was. found "at the very inininiurn 50 per cent of all Canadian hides taken off in 1930 were damaged by open or sealed grub holes, and on this basis Canadian hides were worth $700,000 less in finished leather in the year." Canadian Macaroni Canada is one of the countries of the world peculiarly adapted to man- ufacture macaroni, thanks to her ex- cellent Durum wheat crops. Once up- cn a time .sunny Italy was the one and only producer of macaroni and its fame spread to all countries. In the eighteenth century, some young Englishmen after a visit to Italy wax- ed so enthusiastic over macaroni that they formed a Macaroni Club, one of the members of which was Charles James Fox, the statesman. But the, glory to a considerable extent, has departed from Italy. Many countries now make macaroni,. Canada alone. having sixteen establishments engag- ed in its manufacture in 1933. In that year the total production amounted to nearly 27,000,000 pounds, close to 8,000,000 of which went to the British Isles, while 1,000,000 pounds went to seven other different countries, from Newfoundland to Japan. Left -Over Meats In arranging meals in the home, it is not always possible to prevent a considerable portion' of meat being left oyer. These Ioft-overs, far from being a waste, can be made into a great variety of tasty and wholesome dishes with the expenditure of only a little time and trouble. Bones from roasts and steaks should be utilised in: making soup and stock. 'Surplus gravy and the liquid from stews may also be used for soups.'. A few of the uses which can be made of left -over meats are: croquettes—any kind of ground beef, one part mashed potat- oes, or rice and egg, 'mixed with gravy, stock, or white sauce, and fried in deep fat, Hash—two parts of any kind of ground beef and one part of mashed of chopped potatoes. Stew— cold roast beef, steak, and other parts may be used in stews instead of, fresh meat. Or the meat may be cubed and reheated in gravy or white sauce. Beef pie—with stew as a basis, • put the rneat in a baking dish and cover with baking powder biscuits about one inch in diameter, 'Minced beef on toast—chop cold beef, heat ingravy, and serve on toast, Escalloped beef --cut beef in cubes, mix with gravy, and place in baking dish with alter - vete layers of boiled rice or dressing, Cover with bread •crumbs and brown. Shepherd's pie—same as beef pie, ex- cept that the cover is tirade of mash- ed potatoes instead of biscttits, Epic of the Canned Tomato The change in public Opinion with regard tothe fashions itt food is well exetn'plified by the tomato.

London, Ont, ned tomato is one of the epics of Canadian trade. Ten years ago it was one of the least important of the food commodities sent abroad by Canada. By 1927 the export of Canadian can- ned tomatoes rose to whatis now considered a mere 300,000 pounds. In 1934 nearly 10,000,000, pounds , were exported to 31 different countries, 18 of which are British. The British Isles alone took 9,000,000 pounds. Ontario, Quebec and British Colum- bia are the provinces in wliieh the commercial production of ;tomatoes. for canning purposes and fresh sale is. of greatest importance. The total ac- reage is approxiamtely 20,000 acres. A dependable cannery demand, even thought this demand varies, is also of importance to those growers produc- ing for the fresh vegetable market. The grower, therefore, as pointed out in the Agriculture Situation : bulletin, issued early this year, is vitally in- terested in n-terestedin both the dornestic and ex- port demand' for canted tomatoes and tomato products. CHOOSING THE BREED- ERS (Experimental Farms Note) It is by selecting for desired char- acteristics that real results in poultry breeding are obtained.. There are. numerous characteristics that poultry breeders desire, but the most import- ant are • health, egg production, egg size, and breed type. Health is, the main essential, be cause without it there, can only be failure in all other respects. After culling out the less vigorous birds, the next step is the selection of birds that have the other required charact- eristics. Breeding from the highest producers each spring will not nee- cessarily result in- all the daughters being highproducers; roducers but. the aver- age will remain high if selection has been well done. It would seem that flock, production ' averages have, in many cases, almost reached a peak. Attention must now be turned to the problem of breeding birds with suf- ficient productive persistency to con- tinue tinue their heavy laying into the sec- ond an dthird year. When this goal has been reached, it will be unneces- sary to raise so many pullets each year, because it be profitable to keep the yearlings for another year I or so. With this in view, those year- lings that have shown steady egg production over a biological, or laying I year, close to, or if possible exceed -1 ing 365' days, should be retained for use as breeders. The pullet that per- sists in laying along into October or November at the end, of the first lay- ing year is the good producer. Of course, broodiness (an undesirable characteristic), sickness, or the use of the pullet as a hatching medium will have to be discontinued, Research work is uncovering many truths to help the poultryman in the choice of his breeders. For instance, it has been found that small body weight at first egg and heavy body weight .at the close of the 365 -day period, or laying year, are associated with high laying persistency. The ob- servant poultryman can use this knowledge to advantage. Egg size must not be neglected. If a small egg is set in the incubator, you are likely to get a pullet that, will lay a small' egg. There is usually a few cents difference between egg grades so that the :poultry -keeper who breeds his birds to layeggs that will grade "large" will be ahead of the one who pays no attention to this characteristic.. With the male — the member that. constitutes half the flock - great care must be taken to see that he is from : high -producing ancestry and that he shows the finest breed char- acteristics and egg type, such as, depth of body, length and width of back, smooth' well. -shaped head, and prominentbright eye, OUR CAPITALIIST SYS- TEM. Quotation front Mr. Bennett: "When hi the past I praised the Capitalist System, I did so with knowledge. When, now, I analyze it, and point to its defects. I do so also with knowledge. .Bear that in mind." Premier Bennett was a student • till 1928, And much knowledge by his studies he acquired; He studied Econornics every night till very late, And 'the Books he read, were all of them inspired. A little knowledge, truly, is a very dangerous thing, And until it has outstripped its has Economic Printer did our Prem- ier study sore, It made our Economic System look so sweet; Till information reached him, denied to !tint before, Which deprived the Awesome Sys- tem of its feet. teenage growth; a And - `wider, fuller, and,a more em- brasive #ling, It 1 as precious little substance, and is largely bubbly froth. Till of late, it was a fortress, and a bulwark, and a stay, And ourPremier he did praise it with high voice; But now, he cloth regard it in a very different way, And it looks a wee bit shakey, and not choice. Now isn't it a funny thing; beyond a doubt it is, To praise a thing one hasn't an- alyzed, For that our Lawyers seldom do,'it is not good for biz, And must get one most severely criticized. e. Our Premier most, .deplorably, has opened up the bag, And the .Cat is out, and running • much amuck; While the other staff within the bag Serve est Tea surprisingly like swag, Is really swag? undoubtedly what most infernal luck. The bag of swag, so Bennett says, Must be divided up, For surely itt these latter days We all should eat and sup; So from the one who has too much, We'll dock his overage, And surely there are many such Aboard our Country's Stage. So, as the hew Mayor of Toronto says "Bennett is on .the go. Don't stop -him" assuredly no obstacle will be placed in his path by Yours truly, James G. Webster.
