Canada's Oldest Agricultural Fairs
With the opening of the 1944„ sche-
dule of Agricultural Fairs in Canada
comes a reminder that these fairs are
among the Dominion's oldest. institu-
tions. Arrangements• are being 'made
to celebrate this year the centenary
of the fairs at yankleek Hill, ,,Ont.,
and Richmond, Ont.
The 'first organized agricultural fair
in Canada was held at Windsor, Nova
Scotia in 1765-179 years ago, and at
Pictou, N.S., the first fair. there was
held 1t8. years ago. In Ontario .the
Niagara Agricultural Society held a
fair in 1791. In 1822 what *as then
considered a great fair was held at
Qiieenston,•.Ont. It. was intended to
be, the first all -province fair. The're-
cords disclose that "the fair was in-
conveniently crowded."
For the'centenary celebration of the
Nankleek Hill Fair a spaniel program
is being planned.' The first feature of
this program, the planting of ever-
green trees In the fair. grounds took
place recently. It was'part. of a gen-
eral beautification, and improvement
plan. The Vankleek Hill' -Fair started
in 1844„under the name of the County
of Prescott Agricultural Society. It is
interesting to note that the first fair
there ended with a credit balance of
threes pounds (sterling) and seven
shillings. English currency was used
in Canada at that time.
-In 1844 agrf"ciilture was not v'eay ex-
tensively developed in the Vankleek
Hill district, but now it is a progres-•
siye temp..,in one.of the most pros-
;j3ei`o'ti1 farming sections 'of Ontario.
Richmond, a village about `:`b miles•
from Ottawa, takes its •name after
the 4th Duke of Richmond, the' same
Duke, who with his wife,:the Duchess,
gave the famous ball in Brussels, Bel-
gium, on the night. before the. Battle
of Waterloo, June `18; 1815. •
The Duke died of hydrophobia in;a
barn near Richmond, Ont., on August
28, 1819, the result of a bit from a
pet' fox.
The agricultural fair in Canada has
been a great factor in social and ece-
nomic progress. After the war it will
'probably be bigger and better than,
Shade For Hogs
Hogs de not' sweat, but in warm
weather, the- may become ill ' with
the heat or too hot to eat' enough to
show gains_.. Tbat is why shade for
hogs in the open is soy important.
llog,s do not drink much water at one
time. They like to drink.a little and
often. ' A supply of"water phould be
within, reach at all times.
Prices of Honey Under New Order
Ceiling prices for boney in the new
order Which came into effect on June
26th, give producers a higher return
for No. 1 white honey than for other
grades. In sales of buck honey at
wboiesaae, this price difference is one
cent per pound, ' with No.- 1 white
.honey price half a cent hip, -her than
the 194$ highest price for non -pasteur-
ized honey. In direct sales to con-
sumers, a producer is allowed .the re-
tailers' mark-up. ,
The new order divides Canada into
two zones. Zone 2 takes in the low
production areas of British. Columbia,
the Maritimes, and .. that part of
Quebec east and north of the Coun-
ties of Compton, Richmond, Drum-
mond, Yamaska and Mackinonge and
north of the southern. boundary of
the County of Abitibi. All the rest of
Canada is in Zane 1. Highest firices
at, which an•y person may sell at
wholesale, in hulk, any honey produc-
ed in Zone 1, is 13 cents a pound for
No. • 1 White honey, and 12 cents a
pound for any other honey; f.o.b. the
seller's-shiptiing point. Bulk honey
produced in Zone 2. and sold at whole-
sale to. a buyer in that zone can sell
at one cent higher to make the selling
price approximately th$ same as the
delivered •price of shipments brought
in from areas of higher production in
Zone 1.
. The order allows one and one -guar-,
ter cents per pound to processors to
cover the cost of pasteurization and
granulating. This allowance is not
available for Berk honey,

But -to- the Canadians who have
come off the land haying days are a
Moving memory, the supreme festival
of the year; -Haying was hard woek
but it became a kind of game, a rat
to get the. hay into the barn, and to
the lonely farm it brought - new •fac-
'es, the .:boys. of tlie.haying• crew, and
everybody , behaved as if it were a
holiday.
Those were the days before modern
machinery. On the farm, where I
worked as a boy there was not even
a mower. We reaped the acids with
scythes; and r have always held since
then that no man. really knows hay
untilhe has learned to scythe. It is
the perfection qt the athlete's art,
the final co-ordination`of muscles and
it has in it more rhythm ,,than a
symphony.
Tirelessly, like' a well-balanced ma-
chine, the farmer swings his scythe,
turning it upwards at the end of the
swing to lay the hay in a neat win-
drow, and with' every swing of his
body he sees the line of 'his attack
pushed back a few inches and thus,
hour by hqur, he advances across the
field. IG,is, a battle against the, mass-
ed hosts' of the hay from dawn to
dark, •in which the muscles of one
mane seem pitted against the whole
forces of nature. All the satihfac-
tion of conquest has'' been lost with
the disappearance of 'the scythe.
After such tabu.. how • sweet was
the noond
ay rest! The right kind of
Canadian farm had a brook running
through it, with cool trees and water
chuckling over the boulders and per-
haps a trout or two dozing in the
shade. The farmer's wife had made
up a sPecial drink flavored with lem-
on and (for some mysterious ther-
apeutic reason of her own) with oat-
meal, which was supposed to cool the
blood. Or perhaps we had brought
out a crock of buttermilk which was
sunk in the stream to keep it celd.
Then with some loaves of fresh
bread, homemade, ,,the lunch became
a banquet, sitting rattler heavily on
the stomach when we came out into
the heat of the hayfieldagain •
-
Then came the job of cocking the
hay—a skilled roperation if each cock
was to be built like a roof, 'to turn
t'he•.,,rei.n. Then the 'loading of wag-
ons, tile -lift of hay into the loft and
the joy of leaping into it from the
rafters. How -sad to think' that many.
Canadiartoys have never **own
theses delights! And still fewer Can-
.adians, I suppose, have slept on a
haycock in a summer field. It was
the great English actress, Ellen Ter-
ri; who first declared that no one
head known life or seen the universe"
whole unless he liad slept thus, but I
daresay ,our ancestors knew It long
before her time.
On a haycock, better than on any
other bed, you can look at the swarm-
ing stars of the summer sky And see
how the bowl of the ,heavens Tilts
slowly during the night, a fact unsus-
pected by the„ sleepers on spring mat -
'."If ever you .sigh for a fresh egg
.las you reach for the familiar brown
.packet of dried eggs from Canada,
bring this picture to your mind. In
Canada there are several full; •time
egg -drying ,plants. In these. there
stand at long tables, rows. of girls
in .immaculate white, uniforms. The
only thing these girla do ie break
eggs—real eggs such as you dream
about, Before them, are steel. trays,
each about the size of a bake -pan.
Across the top of each tray- is a
metal bridge with a knife-like edge.
The girls b'ieak the eggs' on the
bridge and let the contents drop into
a cup where they are examined
'''Then the broken egg passes
through mixers, sieves and clarifiers,
emerging from them as a smooth,
yellowish liquid resembling . rich
cream. This liquir, is poured into
stainless steel storage vats maintain-
ed at a constant temperature • of 40
degrees F. From here the liquid is
pumped utider pressure of 4,000 lbs.
per square MO through , a' pipe,
'through which a pin could not pass,
and is blown in a fine spray :into a
large metal cone 50• feet high. On the
opposite side, hot air is driven in.
The moisture in the spray is immedi-
ately turned into steam and the sub-
stance drops to the bottom of the
cone in the form of Powder.
"Sb," continues the '$ritish Ministry
to the British people, "net time you
prepare an omelette or scrambled
eggs from the well-knot}'n Canadian
packet, don't think of it, as: some sort
of egg substitute. Think back 'a bit
to those girls in immaculte white who
a short time before were relieving you
of the effort ,of removing the shell
from your. egrgs,"
Canada sends to 'Britain about
60,000,000dozen eggs every year. 4,
