FAIR ANNUAL
(Huron Expositor)
The financial picture of Seaforth
Agricultural Society was much
brighter this, year when indebted-
ness of the society, carried for
several years, was reduced by
5800, members were told as they
attended the annual meeting and
banquet Tuesday evening. At the
same time, prizes totalling over
55,000 were paid out, including ov-
er 53,000 in utility classes, accord-
ing to the treasurer's report pre-
sented to the meeting. The meet-
ing looked to a continued improve-
ment in all aspects of the fair in
1959.
SAFE DELIVERY
(Lucknow Sentinel)
An ice -coated hill and a blind-
ing snow storm produced a con-
dition last week that required the
services of a caterpillar traction
bulldozer to get 7,000 day-old
chicks safely to their destination.
A panel truck loaded with 70
boxes of 100 chicks each, couldn't
make the ice -coated "MacKay"
hill on the 2nd Concession to get
to Herb McQuillin's farm. Storni
conditions also foiled an attempt
to reach the farm from the 15th
sideroad.
As a last resort Spence Irwin's
bulldozer was pressed into service
to push the truck to its destina-
tion.
SHOW MUST GO ON
(Goderich Signal -Star)
A town policeman last Thurs-
day explained to Mayor Ernie
Fisher how a car was improperly
parked on West street. He asked
the advice of the Mayor on wheth-
er a parking ticket should be giv-
en in this particular case, since
it protruded over the space allow-
ed and in front of a driveway
leading to a business property.
"If the car is improperly parked,
by all means put a ticket on it,"
Mayor Fisher advised the police-
man. When Mayor Fisher a few
minutes later came to get the car
he was driving he found a park-
ing ticket on it. He has since
paid the fine.
ROLL OUT THE BARREL
(Wingham Advance Times)
Two years ago the local firemen
created a good deal of fun over a
guessing game as to when the
spring break-up would take place
on the Maitland. To mark the
event a colored barrel was placed
on the ice of Howson's pond and
tickets were sold to the many per-
sons who wanted to hazard a guess
about the time it would go over
the dam. They are repeating the
stunt again this year and the funds
so raised will be turned over to
the fund for a swimming pool in
Wingham.

Hints For Winter
Rug Cleaning
Winter is even harder on your
home than it is on yourself. It is
a time of heavy drains on your
budget, too, because these long
months take a toll in your home,
particularly on floors and rugs.
Like people, your rugs seem to
suffer from mid -winter blues. Dis-
heartened by repeated trampings
of snow -crusted boots, soggy over-
shoes and wet paws, even the rich-
est looking rugs seem to lose their
warmth and color at this time of
year.
In addition to the soggy, melt-
ing snow, the family snowboots
and rubbers also bring in some of
the soot and salt which covers
the winter streets. Even the in-
side of our outdoor footwear is not
exempt; it holds dust and dirt
from our shoes, which is spread
again every time we .take off our
rubbers.
The dirt becomes ingrained in
Scours in Swine
Present Problem
Veterinarians in Ontario report
that infectious white scours pre-
sents one of the major problems
in the nursing litter. Anything
that lowers the resistance of very
young pigs may increase their
susceptibility to white scours. Ane-
mia, vitamin A deficiency, cold,
draughty damp quarters may con-
tribute to the development of the
disease. Once the infection occurs
in one litter it may be spread to
neighbouring litters on the feet
of the owner or by direct contact
of infected pigs with uninfected
ones if the pigs are allowed to
come to a communal creep.
The main sign of the disease
is a whitish or creamy diarrhea.
The pigs rapidly lose condition and
become very rough in appearance.
Ontario Veterinary College of-
ficials report that prevention of
the disease consists of keeping the
pigs' resistance to disease at the
highest possible level by prevent-
ing anemia, feeding balanced rat-
ions to the sows and providing
good warm, dry farrowing and
nursing , quarters. If the disease
occurs a special effort should be
made to isolate the infected litter
away from other litters. The in-
fection may cause serious losses,
consequently a veterinarian should
be consulted and treatment start-
ed at the earliest possible time.
Cleaning and disinfection of the
farrowing pens between farrowing
is most important. If this proced-
ure is not carried out the infection
may become seeded down in the
pen and affect subsequent litters.

the floor coverings, sinks in a-
round the pile and gradually chan-
ges the color from its original bril-
iance to something that looks
grayer as the weeks pass. Because
dirt is always abrasive in action,
the floor coverings not only lose
their coloring, but they also wear
out more quickly under this con-
stant grinding action.
For rug protection, it is essent-
ial to draw out as much as poss-
ible of this embedded dirt, as well
as the usual surface litter, lint,
fuzz, threads and dog hairs. Your
daily cleaning chores—particularly
during the winter months—must
strike pay dirt.

ving this very problem, has just
appeared on the Canadian market.
It is a new revolving brush, with.
its own motor, which may be at-
tached
ttached to any existing tank or can-
ister vacuum cleaner now avail-
able in Canada. Powered by its.
air motor, which turns the 'brush
up to 3,000 times per minute,
this new attachment provides your
regular cleaner with much greater
suction power to pick up "hidden"'
dirt and stubborn surface litter..
It has been found that canister or
tank model cleaners can attain the -
strong cleaning power of an up-
right vacuum when this revolu-
tionary brush is used, while you
still have the advantages of a map
nipulative arm for reaching under
low -slung furniture.
