Good Time To Repair
Machinery
Repair delays particularly during
seeding -and harvest time often result
in great loss of yield and, quality. It
is a wise policy immediately .after
the fall work has been completed to
make a het of the known parts to be
replaced and repairedt Under the
conditions that exist and are likely
to exist for the war's duration, it is
wise to order parts well in advance
of their actual need, otherwise long
delays are likely to occur.
- As- far as spossible, repairing should'
he done during" fall and -Winter when
there is not so much work to be done
outdoors at:during the growing sea-
son: Repairs that cannot be. done on
the farm should be taken ±0 ,the black -
stairs or other repairman in the fall
and winter so that his work may be
more evenly -distributed throughout
the year.
In overhauling machinery, all hear-
ings, axles and similar parts subject
to wear should be taken apart and
examined carefully. Any that are not
likely to work well for another 'full
season should be replaced. Other
parts should be thoroughly cleaned
and exansined„taking particular care
to see that the lubricating parts -are
orking well. Parts that work in the
ground,' such .as cultivator shovels and
discs should .also be eheCked 'sand
those that are cracked or d'adly worn
should be replaeed. Others may re-
quire sharpening to in -sure best re-
sults for the following season.
A reasonable -number of well chosen
implements all kept in first class
working condition will do better work
than many machines - in in. ifferent
working order.

There is Still Hope
" •
Ii
spite of the liquidation of sows
and the rumoured lack sof demand for
lit-tle pigs, swine breeders went to
the Ontario Yorkshire Club Sale at
Galt on October 14 and paid record
prices for breeding stock.
AAnother significant teeter was the
premium pleeed on Advanced Regis-
try breeding. The first prize sow
sold for $150, while. the second prize
sow, with tomplete qualified pedi-
gree, 'brought $260. The buyer-. paid a
$50 premium for this certificate of
merit. s d
There May be a lull how in swine
production, but all is not lost. On-
tario will dsi on producing bacon
hogs; and productiors will be on a
sound basis if merit, as determined
by the Advanced Registry test, is re-
aognized breeding tock to the ex-
tent of 00 per sow.

bring about the best possible alloca-
tion of available supplies.
Some will depend upon Western
grain for seed, and before it is sown
the grower should assure himself re-
garding two points: First, is the' va-
riety suitable for the district in which
it is to he grown; and secondly, is it
free :from noxious weeds that might
pollute the farm. Since grain car-
rying up to three per cent. dockage
may come east without. recleaning,
those who buy it with -the intention
of using it for . seed are exposing
themselves to a hazard of no small
proportions.
There is no time to waste, but if
those with seed to spare and those
in need will get together during the
coming months there should be en-
ough good seed to provide for a
abundant crop in 1944.
MattreSses
'Canadian, housewives have develop-
ed many thrifty ways during the war
years. These are days to be proper-
ly appreciative of a good mattress.
War workers must have , a restful
sleep; -and if mattresses are bumpy,
sleep suffers. The materials from
which mattresses. are made are be-
coming increasingly difficult to pro-
cure, and the situation is not likely
to improve for some time.
A pad should be used over the mat-
tress. This protects the mattress and
makes for sounder -sleeping comfort.
If the mattress rests on open coil
springs, use a pad between spring
and -mattress. An old quilt or cot-
ton blanket is best. This will insure
against enagging or tearing -the mat-
tress. It can be held in place with
tapes, stitched to the pad and tied to
the spring frame.
A light muslin cover is a good in-
vestment for any mattress. It will
keep the -dust out; and is removable
for laundering. .
Turn the mattress' weekly, one
week from end to end, the next week
from side to side. This helps to eq-
ualize wear and humps and hollows
are not as. likely to develop-.
During fine weather, open ,the win-
dows wide and sun and air the mat-
-tress. Throw the covers back and
leave the bed open for about an hour
before making it up.
The mattress will receipe new`vig-
our if every four months it is aired
for half a days. and cleaned' with
vacuum cleaner attachment or whisk
broom.
Garden Tools.
Canadians, living in the rural dig-
tricts this year went in for Victory
gardening in a big wasi: As usual the
vegetable garden near the farm house
has been the source of most fruits
and vegetables. for the family. With
the advent of frost and cooler wea-
ther, the season is all but through
and gardens require less attention.
Jobs are "not finished, however, until
the garden equipment is stored away
for the winter months.
The metal parts of various tools
and the lawn mower can be preserid
ed by oil. Under no circumstances
should these tools be in scontact with
the hose or kny other rubber articles.
Grease is "poison" to rubber. Han-
dles that have worn loose should be
wedged or screwed back to their or-
iginal firmness before being stored
away.
Store the garden hose off the
ground in the tool ahed, If possible.
This will help to keep it free of dirt,
grit and grease. ' -It is advisable to
coil the hose on a wooden reel in
order to prevent bends tand kinks
teem terming.
Keep leftover or gathered seeds
moist and col, and like leftover sup -
Plies of insecticide and fertilizer,
StOre tlibno where -they willcbe free
from mice and water.

which is raised, by,the distribution of
the Poppy-dtis,e sdinhol of sacrifice --
is used entirely to relieve unusual
distress; =sing war veterans of the
last war and the present conflict, and
their families. At all times it has
been found that the Veterans, in view
of the fact that taasty of them have
disabilities and handicaps, suffer ev-
en more than others who are out of
employnseht, since many of them re -
(mire specidl care and attention which
they are unable to provide. This is
where the Poppy Fund, raised through
the sale of Poppies_ by the local
branch of 'the Legion, steps- in and
provides relief for the situation.
There is another reason why every
citizen should 'wear a Poppy for Re-
membrance Day. Theie Poppies are
manufactured in the Vetcraft shops
of Canada, workshops in which handi-
capped Veterans are given sheltered
employment, and in which they'mann-
facture the hundreds of thousands of
Poppies which are distributed eery
year at this time. ,By wearing a Pop-
py, citizens can find much satisfac-
tion in knowing that tbey are helping
these handicapped Veterans to obtain
a livelihood which they would other-
wise lack on account of their special
disabilities.
This two -fold appeal Should find a
ready response" in, the hearts and
minds of the people of this commun-
ity, which has always been Teady to
make the way easier for those of its
citizens who served Country and Em-
pire in the Great War, and in this
presentdconflict. We commend it to
your diimpathetic consideration, in
the; hope that you will respond gen-
erously and -thus help to hold the
torch flung to you by those who did
not come back.

Lessons learned in military camp

The parade ground 300 feet by 600
feet has an asphalt surface and flood-

Covering an area of 3,000 acres, the
