Two (bays who recently answered
the final summons were of ••b11e Mur -
flay clan -Bob Murray, and 3ack An-
gus. 7 hadn't heard of either for a
long time until I read of their death.
'The Angus family' attended the Eg-
sniondville school. Many a trip I,
made through the woods from Gran-
nie Nieholson's farms to the Anglia
clearing. (There was no cleared road
to .their place and I' sometimes, wan-
4ered from the path and would, be
*one little time locating the spot.
'It would give me great pleasure to
;attend the (Murray -Gibson picnic and
to mingle with the 'Murray's, the
1S'inith's, the Angus's, and their des
.cen'dants, ;but 'I will have to forego
that pleasure this year.
Notwithstanding the elimination of
the older generation by the natural
process, there must be sufficient
progeny to make a picnic of no Mean
:proportions. With the 'Gibsons I am
not so familiar. 'But the Murrays
-were a virile family . and there must
he many descendants of the John
Murray family through Bill 1A1fur-
r'ay's family!, Aggie Angus' family
.and Dolly Smith's family. John Mur -
ray's family was not large as num-
bers go, but their avoirdupois was
something to talk abort.
My memory goes Wack to your
grandfather's home on the farm, af-
terwards owned by the Leatherland
family. 'I also remember Aunt 'Mur-
rayesiding in the old' 'Gerrond home
at �e end of 'Paynes Grove in •EIg-
enendville. She was a sweet old lady
-with ruddy cheeks, which remained
with her to the end, adding charm
to her appearance. You seldom see
such cheeks now, although there are
'many imitations.
I fell heir to our old' family album
which contains many- photos of the
Murray and Angus families. There
is one of Aunt Betsy, yourself, Jane
and a baby. You look to be probab-
ly three or four years old. Four or
-five more were born after that. There
is also a good picture of your father
and Mrs. Angus and Mrs. Smith. Al-
so one of Bob after he grew up.
After the Bob Smith family moved
!back" into 'McKillop I didn't see 'much
of them. II remember' two bright•
,eyed, 'pleasant -faced girls, who, I ex-
pect grew up to be jolly good girls
like their mother.
With'the Anguses I was more fam-
iliar,lut even they continued to mult-
iply until I lost count. From Jack
to Sam of the boys and Jane and
Annie are fixed in my melm'ory. Jack
-was always a good friend of mine.
He could make good shinny sticks,
and 'bows and arrows that were hard
to' beast. 1 have particular reason to
remember one bow and outfit he
anade for me. I made a 'special trip

The All Year Hog Cabin
With lowered prace•s for -pork pro-
ducts; it is essential to keep produc-
tion costs correspondingly low in or-
der to show a profit at the end of the
year's operations. It is particularly
important to expend as little as pos-
sible. on overhead charges such as
buildings and equipment from which
no direct revenue will be received.
Where old farm 'buildings or barn
space is available, the housing prop•
len with swine is not a serious one.nne
Soswine breeders, however, have
to provide accommodation for theirs
.swine, and these are advised of the
successful use of the all year hog
cabin at the •Central Eltperimental
Farm, Ottawa.'
Under the rather extreme climatic
conditions which prevail at Ottawa,
the .swine breeding stock is housed
throughout the year' in cabins, with
the exception of two months twice a
'year when the "sows farrow and nurse
their litters in the main swine barn.
In the winter, the sows are fed lib-
erally and the cabins are well bedded:

shelter constructed of one ply boards
and is 'built on skids to provide ease
of moving. further details and plans
for building the all year hog cabin

Fraudulent Trucking. 'Practices in
Live Stock Shipments.
"For some time rumors; bad reach=
ed the 'Provtincial 'Pepalitlmlent of Ag-
riculture suggesting unfair practices
by certain truckers carrying dive
stock. These became so. insistent, a
quiet • investtigat'ioni was made by G
"Duncan, 'Ontarid fMlarleeting Board,
to ascertain actual' conditions with
the result that the occurrences com-
plained of, instead of being isolated
and far apart, were found to be
rather general in a large section of
the province. Farmers have been
defrauded of sums varying from $20
to $450 in one transaction. , The anus
men method' of' duping farmers is by
truckers issuing worthless ehecka.
Another is to retain various sums
ranging from $20 to $100 from the
proceeds of the day's sale of live
stock. Excuses offered by truckers
in these instances are smarty; the most
common 'be'ing that the stock has not
been sold, or that the money was
'needed for repairs to the truck and
'always the 'promise is made to pay
the 'balance the following week. Sev-
eral instances of this `promise to
pay' have extended from 1930 to the
present date.
"These conditions reflect on the
legitimate trucker who, in most cas-
es, is' unaware of 'this serious men-
ace to his business. • Usually the first
move is to cut rates. per 100 pounds
of cattle shipped in order to increase
volume. Eventually these reduced
rates become less than the cost of op-
erating and then pilfering •commene-
es. Fartmlers would be well advised
to emiploy only truickd'rs who are
known to be reliable."

phew! That arrow sailed through the

reason the boy turned his head just
as the arrow reached hien and it
struck him just below the, eye, -.mak-

That was the best bow I ever had,
but 'I always regretted leaving that

FARM NOTES
In a recent address, Hon. T. L.
Kennedy advised,- cattle breeders to
e look well ahead if they wanted to be
successful in --the future. He pointed'
out that disease-free cattle are .prov-
ing the wisdom' of their owners by
bringing the highest prices paid. He
bas never waned. It is surely indis- stated that one tbreeder'who followed

this lead does not know that there is

Reorganise Dairying.
Ilnvolving . reorganization of the
dairy industry in 'Ontario, Hon. T.
L. Kennedy, Minister ofgriculture,
has 'announced the laundlling of a
five-year plan to capture for Ontario
farmers the cheese market in Great',
Britain. The plan, formulated after,
a year's consideration' by departmen-
tal officials, calls for: ,
1.-._.A process of amalgamation and
imiri on by which Ontario cheese
ctorie will be reduced in number
4 as at present, to 150.
2. -Creation. of 20 new .storage.
plants in . an effort to achieve bet-
ter grading necessary in an export
business.
3. 'Encouragement of farmers to
insure increased production.
The Minister declared that the
plan's success depended largely on
the attitude of the farmers. The
Government could not compel, but
only encourage amalgamations of
cheese factories. Ifthe amalgama-
tions were put through,the farmers
could produce' butter and cheese .at
three cents per pound less than be-
fore. •
When 'the plan gets under way, it
is expected that officials will be sent
to England to organize a sales staff.
"What has been achieved in the apple
trade, we will try to duplicate in
cheese and butter manufacture," said
Colonel Kennedy, adding that the Big
"0"" brand of the apple trade would
be used on the dairy products.

Large Annual Turnover.
"Figures from the Federal Agri-
cultural Economies. Branch reveal
that during the past year 42 Ontario
farmers' co-operatives, embracing
nearly 28,000 members, did 'an av-
erage yearly business per (member of
$587. This does not by any means
represent al of the co-operative ef-
fort in the province. Pt does tend to
show, howe.. r, that farmers are unit-
ing in their efforts to keep in 'busi-
ness. The sixteen million and a half
,dollans worth of business conducted
by those included in the above fig-
ures represents sales of live stock,
wool, dairy products, poultry pro-
ducts, fruit and vegetables, seed and
grain and miscellaneous products and
the purchase for resale to memibers
of such articles as machinery, feed,
fertilizers, twine and othet equip-
ment.
Bean Market Strengthening.
"Enquiries from Great Britain to
the Ontario Marketing Board for
Canadian beans have developed the
fact that there are very few 'beans'
available and practically none at
present prices either for . the export
or domestic trade.
'An offer was recently received
from an importer in England for
:large 'quantities of beans at a price'
considerably higher than prices here,
but exporters have had to %Bort that
there are not sufficient s'to'cks in stor-
age, or' sr/replies available to accept
the 'offer.
Further survey of the situation
seems to indicate that the Ontario
bean crop is going to be considerably
less than normal this year and the
comparatively quick change in the
situation from a depressed market at
low prices to a live demand and
shortage of supply is .,very encourag-
ing from the standpoint of the indus•
try.
