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. dtatil Proven CONCENTRATES f r POULTRY, HOGS and CATTLE TRUCK LOAD LOTS OF GRAIN AT LOW, LOW PRICES COMPLETE FEED SERVICE d S N Phone 154 — Zurich Proven by 15 years of leadership Pioneer is the saw designed specifically for the Canadian wood cutting industry.

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. WHY DO ALL THAT WRITING? When A Rubber Stamp WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1959 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.
