Zurich Herald, 1947-06-26, Page 2CHRONICLES F GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke I tried to write tlds column yes- terday but it simply couldn't be done—two days •s of almost contin- uous rain just about congealed every thought I ever had. Now the sun is shining and I feel much better—at least I do as long as I stay indoors. A little while ago 1 went to feed the chickens and in the yard it was like walking on an oversized slimy, slippery sponge. Why all the chickens don't die in this weather I'll never know. We give them the best care we can but when they are running in and out in the wet the bedding gets damp just about as fast as we put it. down. And yet we have lost comparatively few. This has been an ideal year for the development of coccidiosis but we have also managed to keep away from that, mainly, I think, by not feeding the chicks too heavily at any time. In fact we have revolutionized our chick feeding methods altogether this year. The price of commercial feed, as every poultryman knows, is en- tirely out of proportion to what we get for chickens and eggs. So, instead of giving the chicks high cost feed we give them one feed a day of growing mash, after that the troughs are filled up with a mixture of rolled -wheat and oats— from our own grain of course—at night they are fed straight wheat.t That has been their menu since they were four or five weeks old. L'p to tha time they were fe.d com- mercial chick starter. Oh, but I forgot one important item—they get all the sour skim milk they will drink—and that is plenty! We pour it into the troughs— wooden troughs—along with the rolled grains, What will be the final outcome I don't know. I epect the chicks will mature more slowly—perhaps the pullets won't lay as early nor the cockerels de- velop as fast, but at least they won't have eaten up all our profit in feed. Then there are the calves. One of the little rascals went out last week but there are still six running around—and lively little acrobats they arc. One niornin6 Partner suggested that I run four of them back to the pen where they belong and tie then up. Looking at them somewhat dubiously I thought f had better tackle the smallest one first. The first thing -was to catch it as it gallivanted in and out among the cows and heifers. Then I caught hold of its collar — they all have straps around their necks like dog -collars so there is always something to hang on to. Immed- iately this little red fellow felt ,, riry hand ori his collar he got con-' train•. The more I pulled the more he pul'cd—only in tie opposite di- rection, Then he changed his mind and fairly raced through the stable with ms hanging on to his collar like grim death. At the en- trance to his pen he balked again, gave a sudden twist which loosened my grip ,o that only my index finger was left holding the collar. ']'hen he slid another merry -go- ' round—hut of course in the op- posite direction—and I thought my finger had just about had it. However, it only got a bad twist hut when I finally had him tied in his stall I decided that that was enough for in e so 1 told Partner he could put the others in him- self. .ncidcntally. I was just telling Partner I wae, writiu;; about my tussle nith the calf and he said— ''\\ hat are you talking about a ,, f tesISt • all .a •., ::.;; ..:.. Authors Honored — These books, the possession of which, - meant concentration camp or death in Germany under Hitler, are back in circulation. On May 10, 1933; these same titles - were burned by the order of the Nazi government in front of Berlin University. Fourteen years later the day was marked by a celebration in honor of the authors of the books on the same spot where their works had been burned. TEEN By BARRY Thousands of teeners have just finished writing their final exams. Their next step is in choosing a profession. And right here the trouble starts. For a long time we have been thinking about writ- ing on the above mentioned theme and we feel that now is the time to do it. We have asked a large min - her. of teeners during the past few weeks just what they were going to do on leaving high school or col- legiate. Some of them know what they want; some of them don't. The stickler with them all is nit so much what they want to be. but will there be a place for them when they graduate in four or five- years. It doesn't stem to matter so much any more about how much education you have it's how much influence • you have and that's where the beef comes in. "him" for—that red heifer!" Oh spell ... they are all calves anyway. calf is a * My robins over the front door have left their nest. It was fun watching them. Mother Robin hardly stayed with them at all the last few days—and the fledglings were fighting among themselves is the nest became o.er-crowded. Naturally as they jostled for po- sition they forced each other out until there' they were, out sitting on the ledge over the door. On it they teetered back and forth, far more uncertain of their feet than their wings. Presently I opened the front door to see if Mother Robin was anywhere around and to my surprise the young robins flew, scolding, to the ground. Mother .tobiu was right on hand to protect them and they all sought the shelter of the shrubs. That was the last I saw of them but I still hear them in that same vicinity. U. S.

PICS MURKAR I agree that this is a little off my usual line of guff, but we young people do think a little on the serious side at times and many, of us are doing just that at the,. present time. However, back to the theme. A young fellow I know, of European parentage, tried for a good position with a city firm recently. He was turned down. Not on the grounds that he couldn't handle the job, nor that he didn't have enough education; but rather because of his racial descent. It was a great blow to him. Why wouldn't it be? He was very clever at school and so were his sisters. He has finally landed a job and seems very happy. I hope that some day the man who turned him down because of his creed will realize what a mistake he made. ,I: 'I• In conversation with a .group of. young university meat recenttys I learned that ,what.. they Iearsr , most after graduation was•'Jf I:.. can get a little pull :ahead, ifirf the other fellow, the job will be aline, but if his dad knows somebody there, I'm sunk. Fear of the influence the • other fellow has through his own or someone else's connections is hard on the nerves of a young man who has spent four or five years of exhaustive study, only to be flunk- ed because some lame -brain's old' man knows somebody who knows somebody. Some will argue that the boy or girl with the brains will win over influence. Don't kid your- self. Every man has his price and if your pop is buying from a• certain firm and then tries to get you a job with that firm, I'll bet dollars to bubble gum, you'll be hired in place of the person who has more between his ears • than you have. * a This game of life is no easy game, and I've been around only a little—but long enough to know that few care about you, but your- self, and when it's all boiled down, it's every man for himself. A short time ago I tried to get a job as a reporter on a city daily. The city editor told me there wasn't a chance—they were filled up. Well, I knew ,a lady who was a friend of the associate editor and had her speak to him. In less than five days I was part of the fixtures of the editorial. room. Does in- fluence count? You bet it clues. My advice—if anyone cares for a little—is to get your big fat feet in there solid and stay anchored.

Members gave their 'fovorite re- cipes, paying 10c to have them placed in the cook book. 700 copies of the book were given to the Institutes to sell. They sold rapidly and all money ($2,900.00) was turned in to the Central Fund. On publishing the second edi- tion, it was decided to share the profits with individual Women's Institutes, the county organization to act as distributor, and local branches, by selling books, to get a small profit for their own branch. When thess books are alt sold, the Carleton County- Instittites will have sufficient money to aug- ment their funds, so that they can give a $100.00 yearly scholarship, to the child of a veteran of Carle- ton County. The money may be used to further their education, or to take training for any occupa- tion. They must have completed Grade IX and be 17 years of age, furnishing certificates of health and character.
