THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTH, Friday, August 13, 1920
CONGRATULATIONS
The Expositor extends hearty con-
gratulations to Mr. W. H. Kerr on
having completed his 40th year as
Editor and Proprietor of the Brussels
Post, one of the newiest and best
edited weekly papers in Ontario.
Forty years is a long time- to look
forward and perhaps with the great
advantages the youth of this genera-
tion have fallen heir to, we may see
arise a country editor who will out
'game and out shine those editors of
our county paper's who started with
Mr. Kerr and of wham he is now
the last. We hope so but we very
much doubt it.
This is what the Post has to say
this week and it is all true:
"Forty years ago on August lst,
the presenia proprietor took charge
of The Brussels Post and we can
scarcely imagine where the years
have gone. Few of those who were
in business in Brussels then are here
now, although in several cases mem-
bers of the family may be. Brussels
has held its own very well- amidst all
• the ups and downs and people would
require to search manf a mile before
a prettier little town could be found.
We are grateful for the hearty sup-
port extended to The Post and our
ambition is now as it always has been
to make it a factor for the advance-
ment of the beit interests of the com-
munity. The ;Post was never more
widely read them to -day and many of
the subscribers on the list when we
bought are still with us and are look-
ed upon as our very best asset as a
recommendation. Forty years is a
long period to handle the helm but
old Father Time has 'given us more
sunshine than cloud and more joys
than sorrows and we ought to be
grateful, as we are. Since assuming
the generalship every other news-
paper in Huron County has changed
proprietors, from sale, death or
f€nancial embarrassments,- some of
them several times."
TROCHU
° In his butcher's shop in the little
Albertan village of Trochu, not far
from the foothills of the Canadian
' Rockies, I met the other day a man
who unfolded to me a little epic of
the war—Major Leon Eckenfelder,
that battalion commander of the
French army whom Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle visited in the Argonne and to
whom he makes striking reference in
his history, "On Three Fronts." 1
had gone into the butcher's shop in
Trochu to inquire my way about the
village. I waited a few moments
while the proprietor sliced and parcel-
led: a round steak for his customer,
an outlying rancher. I heard the
butcher quietly assure his inquisitive
patron that he had indeed been "three
years battalion commander in the
Argonne." I edged closer to, the
counter. This village butcher in
central Alberta a major in the army
of France? I was to learn by dint -
of questioning that brought, some-
times, an answer, but more often a
modest and non -committal shrug of
the shoulders, that he had been more
than that: a Chevalier of the Legion
of Honor, a member of the Military
Mission of France to the United
States, with the Croix de Guerre and
two "citations" for "incomparable
conduct while in command of his
battalion."
Accustoniled as I -was to the speedy
"re-establishment" of Canadian * sol-
diers, I was surprised, and when the
garrulous rancher left with his pound
of steak I said so. My friend the
butcher smiled in evident embarrass-
ment.
"Yes, it is true," he said, taking
off his apron and coming from be-
hind his block to shake my hand. "I
was Major Eckemfelder. Now, you
see -f
I am Eckenfelder the butcher.
1 am back at work." With a gesture
eloquent of other days before those
at Trochu, he motioned: me to .a seat
in- the little room at the rear where
he "kept the books," and there I
heard from too -modest lips the.arriar-
vellousstory of a Canadian ranching
village.
To the plains and foothills of the
province of Alberta had come, in
1904, a handful of French army of-
ficers, one of them Leon Charles
Eckenfelder, then lieutenant in the
'7th Hussars of France: Some of the
party already were on the reserve of
officers, while others were on three
years' leave of absence; all accepted
the leadership in their new surround-
ings of an elderly compatriot, M.
Armand Trochu, from whom the set-
tlement took its name. In the orig-
inal party, -in addition to the two al-
ready named, were Jean de Beaudrap
and his brother, - Rene, Philippe
Batruille, Xavier Beaudry and Mi:cheel
de Roussy, son of Le Marquis de
:Roussy de Sales; Papillard, de Torq-pat
and one who came some years later,
Feline. A rare character Feline,
lieutenant of cavalry, a Frenchman
who know that some day the call of
La Patrie would ring far across Can-
ada. even to the foothills of the -
Reales, and who carried with hint in
an old duaraap:e bag his cavalry boots
and a good ketal of his military .ac-
coutrenici:t.
Six or eight years went by, and
Trr=chu, now a fair-sized village,
.knew nothi*:g but happiness. Wives
and families had conte from Old
France to join husbands and fathers,
most of whom had resigned their
commissions and gone on the reserve.
Seedtime and harvest came in their
eammemmenammimesee
season, and, year .by year, this little
colony of France, found• itself merge
ing more and more with its wlestern
environment. The ranchers living
near at hand, many tit then former
soldiers of the British army of peace-
times, were kindly 'a'rid neighborly;
the .children of these French families
learned the
Englishh language ua
ge
in a
small Canadian country school;
their
parents came to speak and think of
Canada as "home," and all idea of
return to life in - France departed
from their minds. Diligent industry
brought its rich rewards, and m the
humble homes' of Trochu were peace
and prosperity.
Then came the day when a telegram
from the French -Consul brought the
news. It found twelve men ready.
Britain had not yet declared war.
Canada was still at peace, but njot
Trochu, . The call had come, and that
call knew but one answer. In a few,
hours hasty preparations were com-
pleted, final directions were given° to
trembling women, and farewells filled
a few agonizing moments. In the
grey dawn of an early August day
twelve men, ex -officers of the army
of France, slipped quietly away from
Trochu, - leaving in all the sadness of
exile the wives and children who had
shared their pioneering on the Al-
bertan prairie. At Calgary, 'the pro-
vincial capital, the party was re-
inforced by other French and Belgian
reservists, and left immediately for
France, with Baron Roeis a Flemish
millionaire, in the capacity of ,cook
and Iieutenant and Eckenfelder, of
the 7th Hussars of France, as quar-
termaster sergeant.
Now, after a six-year interval, I
asked in the . rear room of the little
butcher's shop in Alberta, about them
all. What had become of these `men
of Trochu? The butcher shrugged
his shoulders and looked across the
street at a little frame house, around
which played a few lonely children.
That house had just been completed
by De Torquat when war had called
him. It was the old story, but it
seemed peculiarly poignant in the
shop in far Trochu. Some had stay-
ed in France; those who were able to
travel had returned. My host the
butcher had come back toy talk with
me, whole in body°and rich in honors.
De Torquat had not come back to his
little home across the road. He had
written letters to the lonely wife in
Canada, reassuring letters, all of
them, but had told his friends in the
line that he would stay in' France.
He died of wounds in Artois in 1917
—a captain,=promoted on the field for
bravery in action. Jean. de Beaudrap,
too, was killed; and De Moussy and
Fezzenel. Papillard had been in
seventeen engagements before re-
ceiving a severe wound, and now, as
the Major told me, "he's back; worli€s
in that grocery store over there."
Young Michael de Roussy last an arm
but won the Legion of Honor and the
Croix , de Guerre, and is home with
his brothers - and sisters. Rene de
Beaudrap went through it all, and
was wounded many times; Philippe
Batruille wone fame as an aviator
and is back in the . village, longing
to spend the rest of his life in com-
mercial aviation—and so on.
As worthy one sinall chapter in
the book of Canada's war service, I
pass on this brief record of a Can-
adian village that came into existence
but ten years before the war; a little
straggling cluster of frame shacks
on an Albertan hillside, in whose
homes was kept alive the sacred fixe
of patriotism --a shining love of coun-
try " that, with the passing years,
comes to mean not love of France
the fess, but Ione of Canada more.:—
H. B. M.
THE PRESENT' COST AND
- SELLING PRICE OF HOGS
• When a man states that there is
no money in hogs he bases his con-
tention largely on more or less ac-
curate 'records of feeding costs, and`
feeding costs only. If • the marls*et
hog cannot even pay for his feed,
what then of interest on investment,
labor, risk, losses, marketing ex-
penses, etc., etc. ?
The feed cost to produce one hun-
dred pounds of pork may be calculat-
ed by including the cost of main:ten-
arce of the breeding -stock responsible
for the market hogs. Applying this
method, one -hundred pounds -of pork
would require about 600 pounds of
meal. American farm survey figures
indicate even a high.er -meal cost, 615
pounds. Valuing meal and grain at
$70 per ton. which is ,conservative
enough, the herd feeding charges per
hundred pounds of pork would amount
to ,$21 on the 6 to 1' basis. Even
this does not cover all farm costs.
Figures available from herds on
the Experithental Farm System com-
pare very closely with those obtained
in •farrn survey reports 1, e, that ap-
proximately 78 per cent of the cost
of pork production is for feeds and
tilt, remaing 22 per cent, to ' cover
farm costs exclusive of shipping
charges. To produce 100 pounds: of
pork under average Canadian condi-
tions requires from 450 to 500 pounds
of grain. er the equivalent. At $70.
per ton for meal this would represent
a feed cost per hundredweight of
pork at $16:62 which figure :represents
only 78 per cent.' of the total cost.
One hundred per cent. or the feed
plus the farm charge would amount
to $21.28 per cwt.
The above figure may appear start-
ling. There are hundred's of small
feeders who can feed a litter or - so
of pigs on a much cheaper basis.
Otherwise there would be very little
pork produced. Why can a few hogs
be raised!- comparatively cheaply on
the farm? Simply because of the
fact that a considerable proportion of
the feed is in the nature of a by-pro-
duct or perhaps horde -grown. Multi-
ply the swine activities on the farm
and it is necessary l:o purchase more
meal and grain at market prices.
The cost.. to produce mounts alarm-
ingly. So with the farm fleck of
poulery.•

What shall i.ve feed. hogs? Grain,
mil feeds and by product feeds are
b r r,a,.irg scarcer than ever. Wheat

has not appreciated correspondingly.
The roan who cau fecal hogs. profitably
to -day must have' a comparatively
cheap 1_ccciuct er by-product to re-
place. meal as largely.. as iia sable.
Such are scarce, Milkproducts form
the greatest of all. City and hotel°
refuse is another. Green feed intelli-
gently used, soiled o under the right
conditions, pastured—is a tiurd.
Barley is one of the best of Canadian
hog feeds—too little appreciated.
Elevator screening!, if of standard
quality, must ,be utilised wherever
available. The man who is raising
young pigs, who plans to feed thein
almost entirely on, a grain ration,
who has little or no milk or green
feed available, will almost certainly
be forced to place a high valuation on
manure and experience if he is• to
get an even break next fall.

their relatives in the vicinity of
Hensall and as for north as Goderich.

their fine car and with- fine weather
much enjoyed thelong trip. Mr.
Reith, it will be remembered by many
of our pioneer residents, started rail-
way life in our village when a mere
lad with Mr. Louis Harold, who was
at that time railway agent here, and
George as a mere lad entered upon
his duties with a determination to
succeed and give satisfaction and
those qualities
coupled oupled -with a bright
intellect and good character laid the
foundation for his after successful
life in railroading, as when here only
a couple of years he got a good ad-
vance in Toronto and from that city
to larger ones and still better posi-
tions until he is now general manager
of a railway in Virgina, his home
state, and it goes without saying that
his many relatives and friends in this
village and vicinity are proud of his
!achievements, ,and' pleased to meet
him here 'again, accompanied by his
estimable wife. Miss Bessie Urquhart
one of our Hensall girls who holds a
good position in Shenectady, Mich.,
