IN THE SMOKER
"Funny thing about my watch,"
said the short man, who was chewing
a big cigar vigorously, "I was trying
it out. I haven't wound it for three
days, and it is going yet. Only thing
I can think of, I muse of wound it
automatically in my sleep."
"Well, say," exclaimed the large
man, poking out his pipe, and looking
remarkably like pictures of Tennyson
I have seen, "I had a watch that
wouldn't keep Vroci time at all, until
happened to drop it on the concrete
sidewalk, and now it never varies a
split second from Sunday to Sunday."
"Gosh, that's nething," chuckled
the fat man with the laugh -lines at
the corners of his eyes. "I was sit-
ting in the movies one nieletesand the
dront of my wrist Watat lot lease,
and all the works fell out oh the floor.
I picked them up as best I could in
the dark, and shaved them back in
the case, and the old turnip's been
going jakealoo ever since.
"Well, gentlemen," I began, draw-
ing a long breath, preparatory to
drawing a long bow, "I remember it
was about the time that Home Smith
built Niagara Falls, I was working ev-
enings at a wirelees, gasoline time-
piece, and Edison .was going to buy
the patent from me, only I did not
belong to the plumbers--,----"
"Union station. All change!" yell-
ed the ,brakesman, and all the other
chaps immediately got up and put on
their coats and moved toward the
door of the coach. •
Son of "MacKay of Formosa"
to Speak in Seaforth.
Mr. George William Mackay, M. A.,
Principal of Tamsui University,
Formosa, and a noted Educational-
ist, will occupy the pulpit in First
Presbyterian Church, Seaforth, on
Sunday, April 26th.
Mr. George William Mackay, M.A.,
was educated at St. Andrew's College,
Toronto, and Toronto University, and
obtained his degree at Clark Univers-
as his native Canada. It was in 1895
that with his help the late Rea D. J.
A. Macdonald, of the Globe, edited his
book "From Far Formosa,"S which
many people of this locality have read.
It was also on this his last visit to
Canada, that be was made Moderator
of the General Assembly of the Pres-
byterian Church in Canada. Six years
after returning to Formosa he died at
the age of 57, after having accom-
plished a most wonderful work in the
math of this island, a work which
will never die.
Mr. G. W. Mackay is following in
his father's footsteps, but his work
is largely educational. He is Princi-
pal of Tamsui College and he is also
editor of the Formosa Church paper.
He is ably assisted in his work by his
wife, Mrs. Jean Mackay, daughter of
the late Rev. John Ross, of Bruce -
field. Two of his sons will remain in
Canada and receive their education at
St. Andrew's College.
While in Seaforth, Me, and 'Mrs.
Mackay will be the guests of Dr.
and Miss .Mackay.
TO WHOM IT MAY
CONCERN
Dear Expositor:
For some years this community, at
different times, has been infested by
high pressure salesmen, selling stocks
of all kinds, and taking the surplus
money out of the country, which has
been invested in wildcat schemes, and
the loss of which has a good deal ti
do with the present depression.
People should take warning, and
when these slick gentlemen come seek-
ing their small savings, they would
be wise to slam the door in their fac-
es, because these salesmen are not
out for the health of the public.
We have a Frauds Aot, but these
bigh pressure salesmen take- advent-.
age of it wed menage -to evigglentit
of the hands of the law. Ewen if a
few are caught and sent down, their
punishment is usually less than would
be received by a person who might
steal something small to keep them-
selves from starving.
Every town has solicitors, who are
in a position to give sound advice on
money- matters, so before putting
through any wildcat deals, go and
see one of them. There are a lot of
good bonds on the market, which are
safe and will yield a fair income, and
which are as good as cash at any
time.
There is no use locking the barn
door after the horse has been stolen.

Better Farm Contest.
The .Richmond Hill Agricultural
Society has decided to inaugurate a
"Better Farm" competition this year
for which a silver trophy has been
secured.
IThe contestants, it is stipulated,
must be rbona fide farmers, residing
within a radius of 12 miles from the
village of Richmond Hill, which is a
short distance north of Toronto, and
cultivating 50 acres or more. The
Judging will be on the basis of neat-
nees of ground and surroundings,
condition of buildings, state of cul-
tivation, freedom from weeds, and
care and quality of live stock.
Guelph Dairy School Results.
Another. group of Dairy Short
Courses has just concluded at the
Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph.
A total of 194 were registered this
year and the students came from
many countries, and from all the
Eastern Province .g of Canada. Aus-
tralia, Denmark, Holland and the
Provinces of Nova Scotia, New
Brun.swiak, Prince Edward Island
and Quebec had representatives in
'the c/a." TheWst:..of :the itadititti;
as usual, came from Western On-
tario. F. D. Harrison,. of Burgess-
ville, Ont., headed the proficiency list
and C. L. 'Machan, West Monkton,
Ont., was second.
Care of Baby Chicks.
Fresh clean water is of vital im-
portance for baby chicks. It con-
stitutes more than one-half of the
chick's body and in addition it helps
to soften and digest the food, plus
assisting in the carrying of waste out
of the system. For the first week
the chicks should receive luke-warni
water.
It is generally dangerous to put
any disinfectant in the drinking wa-
ter. Some may poison the chicks,
while others do not go so well with
the feed. Clean lukewarm water giv-
en in clean drinking fountains is by
far the., safest. Make it a point to
thoroughly clean the drinking ves-
sels once a day, and if convenient,
scald them.
If not using a wire floor in the
brooderhouse, it is best to put the
drinking fountains on a platform with
a wire cloth top. This will keep the
chicks away from the wet litter,
brought about by the water they
spill. The litter around the drinking
fountains offers a wonderful chance
for infectionofcoccidiosis and kindred
diseases.

ment should' create a greater inter-
est by growers in the seed they put
in athe ground this spring,. Accord-
ing to available information, the
supply of real high-class seed bar-
ley in the province is abundant and
the price reasonable.
A compilation of statistics over a
period of 47 years show that barley
has outyielded oats by approximate-
ly 160 pounds per acre, while in years
of unfavorable weather, such as 1930
the increase amounted to twice this
figure. Barley also helps in planning
crop rotations. In one season, it pro-
vides an opportunity to clean up the
land, to grow paying crops, and to
seed down to the best adrvantage with
hay for the following year.
Current Crop Report.
According to the reports of the
'Agricultural Representatives, fall
'wheat is doing exceptionally well and
'even fields that did not have a good
top last fall made a rapid recovery -
and prospects are that fall wheat will
be an average or even better crop.
Clovers and alfalfa that were not up -
welt last fall, due to weather, are
looking well. There will be consider-
able increase in the acreage of alfal-
fa sown this year due to two factors:
one that the seed is very reasonable -
in price, and the other that alfalfa
demonstrated last fall that it would
withstand dry weather better than
any other hay or clover crop. There
has been a very great demand for
certified Irish Cobbler seed potatoes
and indications are that the acreage
of this variety will be increased from
10 to 20 per cent. Live stock, espec-
ially cattle, came through the winter
in excellent shape. Many farmers
are reporting heavy losses of young.
pigs. These losses are considered by
some to he due to the heavy feeding -
of grain to brood
Corn Growing Competition.
A recorrl enrolment of members for
the 1931 Junior Half -Acre Dent Corn
Growing Competition for Kent Coun-
ty has been received at the Depart-
ment of Agriculture office, Chatham.
Already 150 young people have enter-
ed and more are expected. This com-
pares with 110 entries last year. The
competition is open to any young boy
or girl in the county under 18 years
of age. The types of corn to be dis-
tributed this year are Yellow Dent.
Golden Glow, White Cap and White
Dent. An increased interest in corn -
growing in the county is said to be
largely responsible for this effort up-
on the part of the young farmers.
On Feeding Hogs.
With an abundance of low priced
coarse graine and wheat available
there is an apparent tendency on the
part of farmers to overfeed their
market hogs. This is shown by the
increase in the average weight of
hogs now coming on the market.
The two hundred pound hog is the
ideal market weight. With the price
of lard what it is to -day, relate ely
lower than the price of bacon, it is
the bacon type which means motley
to the prrducer. Farmers should
watch hog feeding closely to guard
against both light weight and excess
fat—he must keep away from the out -
weight grades if he is going to get
the top of the market for his hogs.

Clean the Cornfield.
There have been rumors that the
Corn Borer Act would not be enforc-
ed this year. Such rumors are un-
founded. The Provincial Entomolo-
gist in March called a meeting of the
corn borer inspectors, discussed with
them their duties and gave instruc-
tions that there should be no slack-
ening up in the enforcement of the
act. He said the borer was just as
dangerous as ever and the only safe-
guard against serious loss to the cora
lay in a thorough clean-up every year -
each farmer doing his share. It wa
pointed out that the weather was a
very important factor in determining.
whether we could get a reduction in
the number of borers in any particu-
lar year. Some years the weather -
would fervor the insect so much that
all a good clean-up could do would be
to prevent a very large incraaae.
Other years the weather would help
us and there would be a decrease.
Varrners and also corn growers itt
cities and towns are urged to eq -o
rate by having all corn reran
stroyed not later than Mai'
.'t.
