The Wingham Advance Times, 1930-07-31, Page 2THE BOY
BEHIND THE BISCUIT
Ever see a boy behind a Shredded
Wheat Biscuit? You will have to look
quick before. the biscuit disappears—
but wait and you will see him take
another biscuit—and more milk. The
more he chews the crisp shreds of
baked whole wheat, the more he likes
it—and that's the reason he is a real
boy, full of bounding energy and radl..
ant health. Just as good for grown-ups.
Delicious with prunes, baked apples,
sliced bananas or any fruit.

Kent Sod. Survey
A survey of soils in Kent county,
has been made in the past few months
by Mr. j. Whiteson, ci the Agricul-
tnural College. A map will be prepar-
ed: showing conditions, and especially
the acidity of soils. Five men :were
employed on the project, the ground
being marked out in sections and
Drillings taken at regular interrals.
The txaa..p will be in, some respects a
revision of one prepared in 1923.

The length and width otccastalls,
should be adapted to the size of the

there are tows that are :unc enfort-c

too short and othe:w that are too

•sions for cow stableet For Ayrshires
-the stall length should be from 54
to 58 inches: for Hu _teins• 58 to 53
inches; for Jerseys, 52 to 56 inches
.and Guernseys, 54 Ea 58 inches. A
-good plan is to have the platform
gradually lengthened from one end of

the cows according to length:

Molasses For Hens
Almost every poultryman finds it
t,ceessary to give the birds epson
s t1ts occasionally, in order to over
come constipation, as the result of
lteary Brain- feeding and close con-
finement. The bad feature of giving
salts; is that it tears down the cal -
gun in the body. Molasses in the
poultry ration will do the same thing
as epsom salts, .and will not hare the
bad effects of salts. 'Besides molasses
isextremely rich in Vitamin .13, rich
in minerals,' and ranks high in digest-
ibility. It is richer in Vitamin 11
than some yeasts, and is one of the
few ingredients used in poultry ra-
tions not deficient hi potash.

The twenty-third
annual conference

will go as far north as Kapuskasing,
visiting the agricultrual sections and

The Way You Finish. a Letter Mae -
Say a Good Deal:
When you write aletter to a friend,
or to a business firm, how do you
sign yourself? asks Answers.
"Yours truly" is the great stand-
by, but there are many times when it
seems too cold or too curt. So many
people, in their business letters,..pre-
fer, the phrase, "Yours faithfully,"
and in their private ones, - "Yours sin-
cerely."
But these by no means exhaust out
choice. The widest scope is to be
found, perhaps, in letters to friends
of the . opposite sex. But there are
times when the start and the finish
of a letter may seem to contradict
each other. What 'Would a 'modern
girl make of a letter which began,
"My Sweet Angel," and ended, "I am,
Madam, yours, ete."? That was how
Dr. Johnson wrote to Miss Boothby.
Artists and writers often use in-
dividual forms in their letters. Jack
London would sign notes to bis wife,
"Mate Man" and '"Your Lover -man."
One of the most famous of all mod-
ern signatures was Lord Fisher's,
"Yours till Heil freezes," whteh is
,. still eopfed by many young men with
no naval traditon behind them. But
even the most "trppieh" of conceited
youthsmight hesitate before he eop-
led the great painter, Whistler, who
signed himself, '°
