Fire Hazard ! ! !
Your attention is called to the danger to life
and property from Christmas decorations, such as
draperies, scenery, cotton to represent snow, etc.
Displays of this nature and the lighting arrange-
ments in connection therewith add greatly to the
ordinary risks of fire.
See that inflammable material is clear of and
not hung over lighting devices, steam pipes, stove
pipes, electric light bulbs, etc. See that the electric
circuits are properly fused and not overloaded. Have
'all temporary decorations removed as soon as they
have served their purpose.
Remember, nothing can render these displays
absolutely safe, and that if accidents are not to mar
the festive season, constant vigilance and care must
be exercised.

Presentation to Miss M. E. Ross
Throulgh the gracious hospitality
of Mrs. Peltier Gardiner, a large re-
presentation from the various socie-
ties of 'Casten Presbyterian Church
met at her home on Andrew Street
on Thursday evening to say farewell
to Miss Margaret E. Ross who left
on Friday morning to make her home
with her sister in Toronto. Miss Ross
came to Exeter 14 years ago to take
charge of the language department
of Ex'e'ter High School. At that time
Exeter. School did not teach the sub-
jects' beyond Middle ISehool, but 'Miss
Ross organized Upper School, classes
in the languages and so successfully.
prepared her pupils that not only had
she few failures, but the percentage
which attained 'honors was high. In
her'retirereen't Eire-School"has lost
a most valuable teacher. Those who
met to tender a tribute of love and
appreciation to Miss Ross were: Rev.
S. Moore Gordon, B.D., for the Ses-
sion; William D. Smith, Chairman;
William Sillery, Secretary, and Thos.
Pryd'e, for the Board of Management;
Mrs. Rod. Ellis, President, and Mrs.
Stanbury for the Congregational cir-
cle; Mrs. Sillery, President; Mrs. Gor-
don, Vice -President, and Mrs'. Kath-
leen Fuke, Secretary for the W. M.
S.; Miss Kathleen Strang, past presi-
dent, and Miss Jean Stansbury, Presi-
dent for the Young People's Guild;
Miss sBarbai(a Atkinson, President,
and Miss Marion Gladmian for the
Margaret Strang Auxiliary; and J.
IG. ,S4anibi ry, 'Superietendfeinte and
Mrs. (Dr.) Atkinson for the Sdnday
School. 'Mr. Pryde made the presen-
tation of a lovely aeropack and Rev.
Mr. Gorden read the following ad-
dress which was responded to very
feelingly by Miss Ross:
"It is with deep regret that we
have come here to 'bid you farewell
to -night. We are gathered as re-
presentatives of the large group of
friends who have been benefitted by
your stay and long years of service
in Exeter. That you may know that
your friends appreciate fully the
conscientious 'effort which was put in-
to your work as teacher in the High
School, we offer these words of tri-
bute. The strength of many of your
best years went into the giving of
painstaking and thorough instruction
to those who had a will and mind to
learn. The successes gained by your
pupils in departmental examinations,
.and in higher institutions of learning
speak volubly of .the thorough foun-
dation received wrien under your tute-
lage. For all of the generous con-
structive thought that lay behind
your frequent successful efforts to
provide for our entertainment, we,
of Caven Presbyterian Church, ex-
press our deep. gratitude. Those of
us who are older have profited great-
ly whenever you have encouraged our
young people to act out in lighter
vein some scene that has produced
'merriment. 'W'e must acknowledge
to you who helped us to be glad that
"A merry heart doeth good like ' a
medicine." (Proverbs 17:22(. While
we cannot pay you back in kind, we
trust that this gesture on the part
of your friends will serve to lift a
load from your heart at this time of
parting, and that your memory of
us will often produce in your heart
a melody of cheer. We shall follow
you with our prayers and friendly
interest, trusting that God's abiding
presence will bring to you fullness
of joy in the days to come. When-
ever ,possible may your footsteps lead
to Exeter that those who love and
enjoy your friendship may experience
often the happiness of your comrade-
ship. Wishing you Gad's richest
blessing at all times we present this
our farewell with true sincerity and
good -will. May you find encourage-
ment in these lines from the pen of
Henry Van Dyke.
"LIFE"
Let me but live my life from year

With forward face and unreluctant

Not hurrying to, nor turning from,

Not mourning for the .songs that dis-
apear
In the dim past, nor holding back in
fear -
From what the future veils; but with
a whole an
And Nappy 'heart, that pays its toll
To Youth and Age, and travels on
with cheer.
So let the way wind up tine hill or.

O'er rough or sim'ooth, the journey will
be joy;
Stift seeking what I sought when but.

New friendship, high adventure, and
a crown,
My heart will keep the courage of
sbhe 'guest,
And hope the r'oad's last turn will be

Farm Notes
Corn Borer Increase
There has been a striking come-
back of the corn borer in Ontario
this year. The Provincial Entomolo-
gist reports an average increase of
between two and threefold over last
year. The increase was brought a-
bout ehiefly- =by the. very .favorable
weather for the insect last June and
July. In countries where there was
no clean-up last spring the insect
multiplied much more than where the
clean-up was made. This outbreak
has shown that the borer is still a real
nie ace to corn growing.
Anemia in Pigs
Reports are often received of the
large mortality among little pigs
prior to the age of weaning. The
little pigs which have usually been
doing well and putting on weight sud-
denly become unthrifty. They lose
weight, the haid becomes rough and
the pigs appear listless. Diarrhoea
is a common symptom. If examined
they are found. to .be very pale and
anemic which is most apparent in
the white of the eyes and in ther
bloodless ears, and by the absence of
a healthy pink celor from the skin.
Deaths due to anemia are frequent.
This condition is due to deficiency
of iron in the blood and, is particu-
larly serious in larger piggeries,
where the pigs are on a earefu'..y
balanced ration.
Tea treatment used at the Kapus-
kasing Experimental Station has
proved very satisfactory and consists
of a powdered "reduced iron" which
can be purchased at any drug store.
Abs'olube accuracy of dosage is not
ince rtant, and for practical purpos-
es the quantity can be roughly mea-
sured as the amount which can be
pile_ up on a small Canadian one -
cent piece: Each pig is caught, the
iron nlared on the back of the tongue,
the pig marked and put back in the
pen; this is repeateceevery other day,
starting when the pigs are 4 to 5
days old until they are three weeks
old or rather as 'seen as they start
to eatfrom a see 'i trough.
Paris Wins Society Class
Guelph Winter Fair
With a total score of 458 points
the Paris Agricultural 'Society was
awarded first place in the. keenly con-
tested Agricultural Society Class for
grain at the Winter Fair. Esquesing
Society of Georgetown was a close
second with 4551e points. As the
possible was 500, these are consider-
ed very high scores.
This Class has aroused very wide
interest as the menisbers of each com-
peting Agricultural Society must co-
operate, in this venture, Each exhib-
it included 5 lots of grain and seed
and no member contributed more
than one lot, As twelve Societies
competed, the display included sam-
ples from 60 of the best Seed Grow-
ers in Western Ontario.
Other winning Societies are given
in order — Peel County (Brampton)
4481/2; Carrick (Mildmay- 447; Tees -

ti
Livestock Figures
en Ontario the horse population
shows a reduction of 800. Mares and
geldings are 2,700 less, due, it is be-
lieved, to the reduced fodder supplies
available last winter, but colts and
fillies are up 1,900 reflecting the
stronger demand and higher prices
prevailing for horses. Cattle have
dropped 25,300 head, decreases occur-
ring in bulls, milk yearlings, calves,
and steers over two years. Milk
cows are down 1.075 head in Eastern
Ontario but up 5,000 in the aggre-
gate for the province. Beef cows
have increased 2,000 head and beef
yearlings 1,400. For the fifth suc-
cessive year s'hee'p and lambs record
a decrease, being placed at 945,700
on June 1st, 193'5, as compared with
962,300 on June 1st, 1934. Brood
sows are up considerably in each sec-
tion except Southern Ontario, but
other pigs ober six months showed
a heavy falling off in numbers, with
the result that the total swine popu-
lation over 6 months old decreased
by 3,000 head. Swine under 6 months
are on the upward trend again and
are 50,400 higher than a year ago.
The number of sows intended to far-
row in the next 6 months is well a-
bove last year. Hens and chickens
show a rise of 164,200, being 21,713,-
200 this June and 21,567,000 in June,
1984.

A Fat For Which
There Is No Substitute
Butter is one of the foods which
has been widely used for many cen-
turies, but whose true nutritional
merit has only recently been brought
to light, according to Laura C. Pep-
per, of the Dairy and Cold Storage
Branch, Dominion Department of
Agriculture. Recognizing the impor-
tance of adequate amounts of fats in
diet and the valuable contributions
made to health by butter, modern
scientists uphold the generous use of
this superior fat.
Palatability and high food value
are the two qualities which earn for
butter the distinction of being "the
fat for which there is no substitute."
Fats recommended for their tasteless
properties hold little or no interest
for the woman who prides herself on
her cooking. She knows it is butter
that makes cream sau'c@s look and
taste so rich; it is the 'butter, used in
cakes and cookies that evokes praise
from friends; and, similarly, it is
butter that insures excellent flavour
and colour in many dishes prepared
for the family table,
As for food value, butter is a con-
centrated energy producer, yielding
21/4 times as much heat in the body
as the sugar and starch foods. This
is a strong argument in favour of
usfing plenty of butter, particularly
during cold weather when the body
requires extra heat. Butter is easily
digested and readily and completely
assimilated by the body; it contains
small quantities of lime and phos-
phorus, and in addition has a high
vitamin content which distinguishes it
from other fats. It is an exception•
ally good source of Vitamin A which
builds up resistance to disease and
promotes normal health and growth.
Butter is also one of the few foods
which prnvide Vitamin D—the sun-
shine vitaniin—so necessary for the
development of bones and teeth.
Pigs in Cover
The winter care of pigs causes no
anxiety to the farmer who has adopt-
ed the all -year-round cabin. These
portalb]e cabins are useful for 365
days in the year and are efecient and
economical. They are cool in summer
and provide adequate shelter in win-
ter. Built of rough lumber, with se-
curely fastened sides and hinged sec-
tions, each cabin has room enough
for four or five brood sows, and
breeding stack of all ages will thrive
in the semi -outdoor life, for the cab-
ins on the advent of winter can be
mowed to fresh ground or to wherev-
er convenient. Hogs fed in cabins
will rarely become crippled, but for
this class of stock an open shed with
a low, straw -covered sleeping berth is
better. Both types of cabins are
fully described in the "All -Year Hog
Cabin" pamphlet issued by the Do-
minion Department 'cif Algrieulture.
The average piggery is difficult to
ventilate and therefore damp. Damp-
ness, impure air, lack of exercise, aqui
over -feeding make a combination that
will soon discourage the hog feeder
and relieve him of This stock. Nott so
with the all -year bog cabin.
Ottawa Fair Results
The Special Ottawa Winter Fair
trophy awarded in the Inter -County
Live Stock Judging Competition was
this year captured'sby a team from
Peterborough County, the team mem-
bers being Charles Whittington and
Stewart Whittington, of Peterbor-
ough, and Clare Leahy, Lakeview,

tive A. D. Runio s. A total score
of 211693 points out of a possible
score of 3,000 was made by the win-
ning team, with the Grenville trio,
coached by A. M. Barr, placing sec-
ond with a score of 2,548 points. The
remaining teams ranking in the or-
der named—Lanark, Prince Edward,
Lennox and Addington, Renfrew,
Leeds, Northumberland, Carleton,
Hastings, Frontenac, Dundass, Pont-
iac, Que.

A Handy File For Clippings
"I ran across a good article on that
the other day but I can't find' the
paper in was in." How often one
hears such a remark! A horse takes
colic; a binder knotter gets 'oust of
order; a construction problem is pre-
sented. There is any amount of help
es print if it could only be found.
Over twenty-five years ago when
first confronted with the necessity of
finding answers to thous'and's of ques-
tions yearly, the writer hit upon a
simple, adaptable system. which is
still in use and is now employed on
the Dominion Experimental Sub -Sta-
tion at Beaverlodge.
Several card=board boxes of cheap
manilla envelopes were purchased,
one for each department or group of
questions, for example, Live Stock,
Veterinary, Poultry, Bees, Farm,
Gardens, Legal, etc. When a useful
article was found it was clipped and
inscribed with the date and name of
the paper and the name of the auth-
or. It was then slipped into an en-
velope, on the ulpper left -band edge
of which was written the subject,
such as "Breeding Crate," "Ringibone,"
"Spaviin," "Straw Loft for Poultry
House," "Green Manuring," "Veget-
able Varieties," "Will, Probating," or
whatever it aright be. Within each
box or department the envelopes were
arranged alphabetically and since
care was observed to wriite the sub-
ject with the most suggestive word
first, e.g., "Will, Probating," an it-
em on any particular topic could' be
very gvickly found by thumbing the
edges of the upright envelopes even
after the encyclopedia had grown to
large dimension's. Sub -grouping elid-
ed this, for in time, "Live Stock" was
sub -divided into "Lire ,Stook, Cattle,"
"Live Stock, ,Sheep," "Lira a ,Stock,
General," ebe. Each box had airs OM -
tents indicated by large print oln thte
end, thus: `"Live Stock, Cattle, A-
M." If a box contained more *an
one group each group was indicated
by a raised cardboard tab. Ow might
commence with a single box of clip-
pings alphabetically arranged, and
sub -divide as the material accumu-
lated.
One great advantage of the sys-
tem is its adaptability. It ne've'r be-
comes 'ov'ergro'wn. If two or more
clippings on the same subject are
taken they may both or all go in the
one envelope. If in time some early
article may be superseded by a 'more
complete and up-to-date one the old
one may be readily discarded.
A scrapbook 'becomes clutbe'red in
spots while Vacant on other pages.
The envelope file may be divided and
sub -divided without trouble. It may
be expanded or contracted to any ex-
tent in any direction. It ishandy
and may sometime save an animal's
life.
When Potatoes Breathe •
In the storage of potatoes it has
always to be remembered that the
potato is a living organism and that
there are two periods when respira-
tion may 'become of tpractihal import-
ance. One of these is immediately
after digging, and' theoti`f�er a periost
of several days following a snddem.
rise in storage temperature. To pre-
vent sweating, special attention
should be given to the ventilation of
potatoes handled in bulk immediately
after digging, and also after sudden
rises in tenvperature, the higher will
be the initial rate of respiration at
a sudden higher temperature. Sud-
den rises and falls in storage tem-
peratures are to be avoided always.
The early fall is the time to pro'vhde
all possible air circulation by keep-
ing ventilators and dooms open until
'there is danger of freezing. On
warm days doors should be closed and
opened only at night when the air is
cooler. The amount of ventilation re-
quired is that which will keep the'
potatoes dry. From early December
onwards all 'ventilators and doors
should be closed and protected to
prevent the potatoes from being froz-
en.
