K. Leckie, Depart- ment of Economics, Ontario Agricul- tural Cpllege. Among the factors to be considered are the location of the farm buildings, with respect to one another and to the fields, the interior layout of the buildings for greatest economy of work, and finally the plan- ning of the size and shape of the fields for easy %titivation, adaptabil- How to Combat RNEIAHATKI Nr Rheumatic pains may often be caused by excess uric add, a blood impurity that should be extracted by the kidneys. 1f kidneys fail, and excess uric acid remains. it may cause severe discomfort and pain.

On most farms the location of the farmstead and the main buildings has already been more or less permanent- ly determined for the operator by .his various predecessors. if these Leen chose wisely, well and good. If not, it is an expensive proposition to alter the farmstead site. This suggests that in buying a farm the suitability of the buildings and layout should be carefully considered. The size and condition of the buildings is generally a barometer of the nancial success of previous owners. The farmstead includes the dwel- ling Neuse and farm buildings togeth- er with fhe surrounding yards and lavyns, the orchard and , garden, water supply, etc. Its location may partly depend on the topography and local geographical features. There is, how- ever, the ever present question of whether it is better to have a "long lane" or a "short lane." This actually boils down to a comparison of the advantages acrd disadvantages 'of hav- ing the farmstead handy to the road or handy to the various fields, In the case of 100 -acres lots, 50 or 60 rods wide, it is impossible to meet both of these requirements simultan- eously, so it usually must be a matter of compromise, When account is tak- en of the time spent in travelling to and from the fields farthest from the barn, it is easy to demonstrate that handy fields are actually worth con- siderably more dollars per aere. On the other hand, a long lane is hard Ate* *MO U0,10 ', , .bb' 'tl 'for 44r gp t aft Ota tr&'vells ilf ' dot4K 4 ►orad 14. dai#i•,'4,' et blee, • elellit Inettelea eralog penB, pr*ve wit•laout gUestion thee •:rtldiee thetUgbt should go into planning in terror .building layout, the provision of 3abor-savieg devices,.

However, it definitely does mean the scrapping of the old-fashioned belief that anything aimed at saving time and energy should be looked on with suspicion es "new-fapgled:' In •planning the field layout it is necessary to keep in mind the type of rotation to be followed, economy of operations and soil c trservation. Level farms with no natural obstacles such as creeks or swamps are com- paratively simple to divide into a few large fields. However, when the topo- graphy is rolling or hilly, it may be necessary to sacrifice economy of op- erations to some extent in the inter- est of soil conservation. Relatively large oblong or square fields not only save in fencing but are much more economical to work with machinery than small irregular- ly shaped fields, where much time is lost in turning. A little figuring with pencil and paper respecting the num- ber of turns required to ,plow one 15 -acre field or three separate 5 -acre fields would readily bear this out. Now that electric fencing is available expensive .permanent fencing, except around the outer farm boundaries, is both unnecessary, and undesirable. YOUR VOTE FOR TOM PRYDE A OI 0 Huron a ..-, IS belt) Your _. _��.R.ir :%lY"�[b fir•.. , r �.�� The outcome of this election will determine the future course of this province for many years to come. Quite apart from any political considerations, you have before you two entirely different points of view. The Progressive Conservative Party believes that this province has unequalled opportunities for development provided that our great resources, are put to work under plans for the future which will provide the electric power and other requirements for the greatest period of expansion we have ever known. Our opponents do not believe that these opportunities for expansion exist. It is their right and their duty to express their own opinion about our future. They have done so. They do not believe in our great programme of development. They have acted accordingly and will continue to do so. You know the record of the government and the many things it has done to ad- vance the interests of all our people. You know the tremendous programme of develop,, ment which we have approved and which will go into effect if we receive your support on June the 7th. We believe that is the way to assure employment in the years ahead. On the other side you have a static point of view which thinks that all this development should be deferred until the threat of unemployment which they are constantly pre- dicting is actually upon us. Developments of this kind take years to complete and the best way to maintain employment in the future is to provide the power and other resources which are needed to keep employment at a high level. That is the point of view we ask you to support. I do wish to emphasize one unusual feature of this election. The Communists in this province, relatively small in numbers, are highly organized. They are supporting the C.C.F. I recognize that the leaders of the C.C.F. Party have disavowed this support. The fact remains, however, that in every riding except. two where there are Communist candidates who were members of the last Legislature, the Communist vote, large or small, is going to the support of C.C.F. candidates. This may be un- fortunate for the C.C.F., and may be against the wishes of that Party. It is apparent, however, that the policies of the C.C.F. Party find sufficient acceptance with the Com- munists to gain their support. No matter how worthy any individual C.C.F. candidate may be you have only one way of making sure that your vote is not going to be joined with a Communist vote. It should be remembered that in every country where Communism has come to power, including Russia, it came originally through an alignment with the Socialist party in that country. You may think the danger is still far away here in Canada. Only a few years ago they thought it was very far away in those countries which have been brought under Communist slavery within the past three years. The time to end the threat of Communism is while we are still strong and free, not when freedom hangs in the balance and we face one last desperate decision. This is not just an ordinary election. With democracy threatened all over the world as it is today, this is an opportunity for the people of Ontario to show by their vote that they really believe in the right to vote. Naturally I hope that you will support the candidate of our party in your riding. No matter how you vote, however, may I urge every one of you to exercise your franchise so that we demonstrate to ourselves and to those living in less fortunate lands, that we really know the value of obi freedom. Never has this province advanced so greatly as it has under the progressive policies of the present government. Our programme for the future provides for still greater de- velopment in the years ahead. With the great opportunities 'which are before us, I hope you will give us an overwhelming mandate to keep Ontario strong through the years ahead.

Factors like cost of feed and price of eggs are beyond the op erator's control, but aside from these the ultimate profit-making capacity o a flock of laying pullets depends on breed, variety and strain, and to a great extent on the manner in which the birds have been raised, says A. Johnson, Division of Poultry Hus- bandry, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The rearing of chickens is divided into two periods, commencing with the brooding period of about eight to ten weeks, followed by the range period up until about 20 weeks when the birds begin to lay and are taken into the laying pens. To eliminate the chance of infection fronto disease; as far as possible a system of range management is necessary. This in- cludes annual rotation of ranges in either a tw.o, three, or four-year sys- tem so that each year the birds are on fresh ground. To avoid all dan- ger of contamination the young birds should be kept away from old birds during any part of .the rearing per- iod. The use of pasture as a part of the diet of the growing pullet means con- siderable saving in feed costs. The quality of pullets as laying birds is not affected by restricting the grain ind mash ration to the extent of 10 per cent and up to 20 per cent of the normal, and substituting pasture dur- ing the growing period. This is a big saving at present feed prices. The best method of doing this is to feed 'the birds early in the day, as much as they will clean up in a little more than an hour. They 'should then be allowed- to go without mash for five or six hours, and be 'made to rely on pasture. Periodic cutting will prevent pasture from becoming rank. It is the tender "second growth" the birds like. Good pasture for poultry depends to a certain extent on the soil and the climatic conditions. Various clov- se o it s per acre and colony houses and range shelters should be located to give the ' best use of pasture. They should be moved every two to three weeks de- _ pending on the extent to which the grass has been cropped. Feeders and waterers should be moved more of- ten. This periodic moving provides fresh pasture and unpolluted ground. Pullets raised by the method outlin- ed are slightly slower in reaching [sexual maturity than others, but have a better opportunity to reach good 'body weight. They lay fewer pee -wee eggs and in a year of produc- tion will perform equally as well as birds raised on unrestricted ration. As a first step in re -planning the farm layout, a rough plan or map of the present layout should be prepar- ed. From this it will be possible to decide on a number of desirable changes which can be carried out during the next one, two, three or more years. It is not wise to try to make the changeover too hastily. - ATCN , DAILY'PAPERS ` _ R'CURRENT PRICES 1 1 1 PHONE: EXETER - SEA FORTH - 2351 15 1 1 1 SURGE MILKERS DAIRY MAID Hot Water Heaters J. B.

Voters formed in long queues to mount the "hustings" (a rough wooden platform) declaring aloud for all to hear, "I vote for John Smith." Often groups of hard -fisted toughs stood by, armed with cudgels to be used on those who voted the "wrong way." But men who kept true democracy as their objective finally won the right of a secret ballot—the right to vote as you wish without fear of intimidation. When' YOU cast your secret ballot at every election—municipal, provincial, federal—you exercise a duty and privilege planned, worked and fought for by your forefathers. Your vote protects the future of your children. To fail in this duty is to be less than a gooifcitizen. PUBLISHED IN THE INTERESTS e, GOOD CITIZENSHIP BY G ooderham &orts • LIMITED Djgtillers .
