Under the heading "I-),1 Your
Own Inlarlcetiug" a recent ;::stir
1 "Corwtry Gentleman" Inas an
article telling about \\"amen Haw-
ley and his son, who tind it worth
ten cents a dozen or More to mar-
ket their eggs directly. The Haw-
leys ;lav -e 9000 birds near Batavia
—a city with a population atf ,oine
20,000—and sell aground 80% of
their egg production right at the
farm Or directly to stores.
* :k k
When wholesale egg buyers were
paying farmers 35TH cents a dozen,
the Hawleys were getting between
45 and 50 cents—depending on whe-
ther their eggs were sold at the
farm or to the stores in Batavia.
They figure that to make out they
have to have at least 6 cents above
the wholesale market price for the
eggs they sell at retail.
k * *
Sales at the Hawley farm have
reached as high as $100 a day. An
average day will find $40 or $50
in the till. Live -weight cull hens
are also sold at the farm.
:k
* :k
The Hawleys haven't just done
all this in recent years when the
demand was high. Warren Hawley
started building up the business 25
,or 30 years ago when he got tired
of the wide fluctuations in prices
he was getting from New York City
commission men.
* ik h
"We talked a couple of restaur-
ant owners in Batavia into taking
our • eggs .regularly," he recalls.
"Our price was based a few cents
above the New York market."
* * *
Later they added to their cus-
tomers a neat market, a couple
of grocery stores and a delicates-
sen. Also, they began to sell baby
chicks locally. They give most of
the credit for spreading their busi-
ness to word-of-mouth advertis-
ing—plus an attractive Hawley egg
carton, and the egg recipes Mrs.
Hawley inserted in the carton.
* ik *
One thing the Hawleys do with-
out fail is to candle and carton
eggs right before their farm cus-
tomers' eves,
"They don't seep. to ,hind wait -
it g and thev litre to see what they're •
getting." Hawley explains. Eggs
are gathered four times a day and
kept in a cooler roots. A girl, who
is in charge of the egg room at
the end of the hatchery closest to
the road, takes care of this and also
cleans, washes and grades for sale.
She sets eggs for the incubator
too.
• *
"Make cash deals — no credit,"
advises Warren Hawley. "And be
sure that you have a year -around,
adequate supply of eggs for all
customers. Too few eggs for a
month or two can ruin our kind
of business,"
• *
If you raise broilers, instead of
eggs, you might be interested in
some experiments recently made at
the University of Idaho. At a cost
of only $6.37 for antibiotic supple-
ment research men there added 859
to the income from 1000 broilers.
ik
* ,k
All the antibiotics studied--aureo-
mycin, streptomycin and penicillin
—produced an increase in growth
rate of chicks. Charles F. Peter-
sen felt that a comhin.ation of two
or more of them might possibly
produce better results than using
only one. And it appears that anti-
biotics improve general vigour and
thriftiness of birds and cut down
the number of runts and culls.
* * *
• The thousand birds getting the
antibiotic supplement with their
feed averaged 3.45 pounds at ten
weeks, con,eumed 8.5 pounds of
feed per bird and returned $604
over feed cost. Another thousand
birds, getting the same ration but
without the antibiotics averaged
3.2 pounds at ten weeks, ate 8,3
pounces each and returned a net of
$545.
He's A Perfect Cut -Up — "What's so unusual about a lean
cutting out paper dolls ?" you ask, the state of the world being
what it is. Well, nothing, except that Giuseppe Baggi of Faenza,
Italy, makes his paper and wire characters so artistic that he's
able to make a living at it. Baggi has drawn crowds on three
continents producing astonishing masterpieces from the simpl-
est materials. He discovered his ability to "cut up" when he
was a child.
Most of the experimental work
has been done with levels of 50 to
100 granas of antibiotics to each
ton of feed. Equally good results
have been obtained in sorne cases
with as little as 10 to 20 grams
per ton,
* *
The antibiotics are now being
recommended for starting chicks,
turkey poults and in broiler plashes.
Work at the Experiment Station
fails to show any benefit from feed-
ing then( for hatchability, however.
FAMILY AFFAIRS
The woman was applying for a
separation order against her hus-
band. "Your worship," she said,
"he broke every dish in the house
over my head."
"Did your husband express any
regrets over his actions at the
time?''' asked the judge.
"No," was the reply. "The am -
could speak to me."
"My fiance is terribly deaf and
this has got me in awful trouble."
"How's that?"
"Well, I had to yell so loudly
when I proposed to her that the
woman living in the flat above has
sued me for breach of promise."
Ralph Too?—Revenue author-
ities believe they can trip up
Ralph Capone, above, the
same way they did his brother,
the late Scarface Al Capone.
Hearings will continue in Chi-
cago on charges that Ralph,
like Al, made false income
statements. The accused was
freed on a $5000 bond.
Look Out, Gussie—South America has come up with an an-
swer to Gussie Moran, the tennis ace withthe startling cos-
tumes. Marie Goran Weiss, of Buenos Aires, Argentina, above,
is not only one of the top female tennis players in the world,
but is also known for both shocking and delighting. her fans
• with her racket attire. The Argentine beauty, shown in an outfit
of white embroidered lace nylon, recently won the women's
singles at the Pan-American Games.
As far as horse racing goes we
have always been a Thoroughbred
fan. 'We have followed them for
more years than we would care to
admit and tossed away more money
trying to pick them than we like
to even think about. What little
reputation we ever had as a writer
of short stories was made writing
about Thoroughbreds and their
jockeys and we still get a thrill
when we recall some of the famous
speedsters we have watched in
action, such as Exterminator, Man
O'War, Sir Barton and a whole
lot more.
:k * *
(We mention these things not in
any spirit of boasting, or of apology
either, but simply to show that, as
between Thoroughbred Racing and
the Harness Horse Variety our
preference has always been for the
former.)
* * *
But we do .not like to see any
Sport, whether we are a follower.
of same or not, handed a raw deal,
especially when the dealing is done
by a Government that is supposed
to represent all classes, not just
the upper ones„And that is exactly
what. the Trotters and Pacers ap-
pear to have got from the Govern-
ment that does its stuff up in
Queens Park,
• :k *
But don't take our word for this.
Listen to what Milt Dunnell,
Sports Editor of The Toronto
Dai1p Star, had to say about it in
-a recent issue of that paper.
* * .
The Harness Horse mob knew
that some person was trying to kid
them when the Ontario Racing
Commission was formed. One mem-
ber of the Commission was to re-
-present the interests of the trotting
and pacing crowd. First indication
of the weight this member would
carry on the new O.R.C. came
when they neglected to inform him
of the first meeting last year, at
which the O.R.C. called in the
Press. It was explained there was
no business pertaining to harness
racing—just the announcement that
the sulky riders wouldn't he allow-
ed to race under lights at the
dolled -up Thorncliffe Raceway. --
]k
In the above Mr. Dunnell, of
course, is referring to the 1950 rac-
ing season and, we fear, his re-
marks are slightly sarcastic. The
announcement that the Thorncliffe
folks were going in for harness
iioieo: Racing in a large way was
the biggest thing to bit the sport in
Ontario since \fAUD S. was foaled
--and that's a long time ago. The
promoters spent a lot of looney
fixing up the track and offered a
(leap of looney in purses. It was an
understood thing that they intend-
ed to race under floodlights. But,
without warning, and without the
Harness Horse representative being
notified of the meeting, the Racing
Commission •told The Press that
floodlight racing was "no dice"
Later on, ):hen they proposed to
hold twilight meetings, without the
benefit of electricity, the clamps
'were put even 011 that NOW, bark
to Milt Dunnell.
Yesterday -- he continues -•- the
Standard Bred enthusiasts got
more assurance of how highly they
rate with the Ontario Racing Com-
mission. Not only was the night -
racing ban renewed, but the Race-
way people were aided in working
out an agreement to interrupt their
daytime trot meeting far six days
while the runners were going -at
Hamilton's second meet -45 miles
away. That's really rubbing salt in
the wound. Come to think of it,
though, maybe the Commission is
saving the Raceway promoters
money. Off last year's experience—
the more they race the more they
lose. But the O.R.C. should come
out and admit that its only real in-
terest in the Standard Breds is to
make sure that they don't inter-
fere, in any way, with what's going
on at the running horse tracks.
* *]
Which last, of Course, is the last
thing the U.R.C.—or its boss the
Ontario Government—is ever likely
to admit. In fact Premier Frost,
speaking in Legislature, told the
people of Ontario that the sole rea-
son for banning night racing was
to protect tllent from the deadly
consequences bound to follow on
its introduction. Night racing would
greatly spread the evil of gambling!
Night racing would cause people to
'bet who couldn't afford to lose!
Night racing would attract to the
fair city of Toronto some really low
down characters! And so ou, and
so on, ,until it was a wonder that
his listeners didn't burst into tears
—or else that aur worthy Premier
didn't break clown laughing at him-
self.
'k '1' .
• Now until last season, when we
visited Thorncliffe Raceway half -a -
dozen or so times and thoroughly
enjoyed the sport provided, we had-
n't been at a Harness Horse meet-
ing in fifteen years or more. We
hold no brief for the Standard Bred
- people and don't know five of thenm,
even to speak to. But we think we
know a little about human nature,
and here are a few remarks we
would like to pass along to Pre-
mier Frost and the Ontario Rac-
ing Commission.
A character in the unforgettable
book "PAL JOEY" once remarked
"If it's going to happen it will hap-
pen at four o'clock in the after-
noon; if it isn't going to happen, it
won't happen if you stay out all
Bight" or words to that effect. It
is true that he was speaking of
something quite different from bet-
ting on the horses—but his remark
goes for gambling too. If people
are going to gamble, they'll do it
no matter what o'clock it is. If they
cant do it on the horses, they'll
do it on Bingo, Poker, or playing
the stock market. And so far as
gambling on the Harness Horses
goes — well, we don't believe it
would be hard to find, in the• city
of Toronto alone, anywhere up to
five hundred people who will take
your bets on the Thoroughbreds,
yet we don't know of a single Mace
where we can place a wager on the
Trotters and Pacers.
k k *
And we'll go even .further than
.that—if night racing can produce
more people betting who cannot
afford to lose, and more characters
you'd hate to meet in a dark alley,
than you'll find -any racing after-
noon at—say—Dufferin Race Track,
it must be really something out of
this world.
k :k *,
The fact of the matter is that
Harness Horse racing have fallen
down in one highly important par-
ticular, IT HASN'T ATTRACT-
ED THE PROPER PEOPLE,
Most of those you see at Standard
meets are folks interested in breed-
ing, owning and racing trotters and
pacers or men and women intrigu-
ed in the sport itself, What they
need is the type of elan who goes
in for the racing game not because
he gives a boot for it, but because
it gives him a chance to ,et his
name and picture in the papers as-
sociating with the elite—even the
remote possibility of seeing him-
self pictured on the front page of
The Globe & Mail accepting a ''up
from the hands of Royalty. if the
Trotting and Pacing crowd could
only get a few of THAT SORT
interested, we'd have floodlight
racing so fast that Bob Saunders
would hardly have time to turn
the Hydra -juice un.,
* ae k
And when the season was over
nobody, would he the worse off ---or
any more badly broke -- than they
are now when Woodbine, Duticrin.
Long Branch, Hamilton, Stanford
and all the rest of them get through
improving the breed. All .. this, of
course, is a strictly personal opinion.
However, that's the way we feel
about it, and we cannot say other -
