This is onereason for the need of supplementary feeds to make a pro- perly balanced ration for dairy cows. Yon can't get milk without feed. The more a cow will eat the more milk you will get. But the feed mast be properly balanced and contain the necessary amounts of vitamins. and minerals as well as proteins and car- bohydrates.

Wilson: Thanks, Dot. Reid: 1)1d you ever live in the big house yourself, Dave? Wilson: No; but I lived right across the street for a few years. F'ather's first house was on Wilson: St., just behind the Johnston place that's now used as the nurses' resi- dence. The lot became ours when grandfather subdivided the tract. Reid: You say your grandfather subdivided. How much land did he have? Wilson: He owned almost 600 acres altogether, for he lead three farms. The old Chalk farm in 1Tar- pilrhey, a 250 -acre farm in Tucker - smith, east of the Red School- house, and the section we're talk- ing about, a 200 -acre farm he bought from Thomas Adams. The Adams' farm ran from Goderich St. Dodds' farm ran from Goderich St. back to where Jimmy Scott's poul- try farm is, and lay between the farms of Jim and John Beattie. Reid: Jim Beattie's farm disap- peared long since, the only rem- nants in our time being the Tittle clump of woodland known as 'Beat - tie's Grove. The John Beattie farm is still intact, however, for Seaforth didn't grow far enough in that direction to take it in. How long did the Adams' farm last? Wilson: Well, when the big house was built the foundations were dug in the middle of a wheat field. The Adams' farmhouse was on Goderich St., just west of the Mc- Faul house, now Jimmy Mullen's, and there were only one or two other houses between that point and Harpurhey. The Adams' barn stood just about where my house stands now, with the coach house right across in the Snowden's front yard. And the orchard was between the barns and Goderich St. Grand- father father' got. busy and subdivided that part of the farm right away. By the time the big house was fin- ished, houses were being built on streets all around it. But he kept the rest of the farm intact till Jim- my Scott's dad bought most of it some 20 years later. There's one other interesting point about that farm. Grandfather bought it for $6,000, but Thos. Adams was a very cautious individual and he wouldn't take a cheque. In fact .he wouldn't even take bank notes. He `insisted on payment in gold. Reid: People could get gold in those days, could they? Wilson: Not in Seaforth. Father had to send two armed messen- gers down to St. Marys, the near- est point where a bank had any. Reid: And what did Mr. Dodds do with the gold when he got it? I suppose he buried -it for safe- keeping? Wilson: No. He just walked down toyvn and deposited it back in the same bank where grand- father kept his account. Reid: Tell us something about the actual building of the house, Dave. Wilson: Well, it was designed by a Toronto architect named Gowanlock, and built .by John Ly- ons. The terrace that features the front la4vn was built up with fill from the swamp that used to lie west of Jimmy Scott's lane. The bricks came from various yards around the country, and almost all the lumber was milled by Noble Cluff. The house was designed with two brick partitions that went right to the roof. That seemed a little extravagant to some people, but it's been one of the reasons the building has stood so solidly. Reid: How about the woodwork inside? I've heard that was extrav- agant, too. b' Wilson: It was the finest in the country, but it was really economi- cal. The Broadfoot & Box factory ran into hard times that year and had to close down for a while. So grandfather asked the men if they'd I ,„g1)..VilURC.R. SECTION METS ,About 125 women of the (Jutted Church W.M.•S, gathered at '(nuns Church, McKillop, ter the antlit m rally of the Centre 'Section ofHur- on Presbyterial. The vice-presi- dent, Mrs•. Roy Lawson, presided. During the morning business %es- sion reports were heard from 15 Auxiliaries, two Evening Auxiliar- ies, one Mission Circle, one C.G. LT., 11 Mission Bands and 11 Baby Bands. All reported enthusiasts and optimism in their groups. The secretary for literature, Mrs. J. Hiilebrecht, introduced a number of new books and called' on Mrs. McKinley, of Varna, to explain what had been accomplished in their auxiliary, that enabled them to win the prize for the best -read auxiliary in Huron. The treasurer, Mrs. Souter, re- ported a slight decrease in the giv- ings of the W.M.S. this year as compared with 1947, but expected this to be more than made up dur- ing the last quarter. In the afternoon the secretary for Christian ,Stewardship, Mrs. Earl Mills. urged the delegates to put more emphasis on both service and givings. She explained the new projects of "Gifts For Building Ad- vance," and showed how the extra. gifts of $60,000 would be allocated. The guest speaker was Mrs. Hugh Taylor, overseas secretary for the W.M.S. Just recently re- turned from a six months' tour of If BACKACHEs HoldingYou Back -it's Dodd's You May Need!

Ask any druggist for Dodd's Kidney .Pik look for the blue box with the red band. 156 Dodds Kidney Pills like to work on his house at $1.25 a day. They were delighted. And so all the inside trim was like fine furniture. The balustrades, cornic- es and mirror frames were even hand -carved. And everything was polished with George 'Fitzgerald's• famous hardstone finish. Reid:. That was something ex- tra special, was it? Wilson: Broadfoot & Box claim- ed it was a very secret formula. But the people who admired George's work used to say it was just a mixture of two per cent pum- ice stone, two per cent linseed oil,' and 96 per cent elbow grease. Reid: Well, whether it was sec- ret or not, it certainly gave •the woodwork a wonderful finish. How many rooms did the house have? Wilson: There were thirteen, Dot, all about twice as big as rooms in modern houses—plus a huge basement, and three unfinish- ed rooms in the attic. Those attic roomswere so big, my Uncle Doug- las declares, they used to play football up there in the winter. And here's the most amazing thing: The whole place cost only ten or twelve thousand dollars to build. Reid: That's a cheerful piece of information for anyone who's build- ing a home in 1948! What kind of lighting did the house have? Wilson: There were no electric lights in '83, but they had the very latest acetylene gas plant. It's also worth noting that,,trandfather in- stalled the first telephone in Sea - forth, or rather the first three tele- phones. They were on private lines that hooked up the big house, my father's house and the egg - packing plant. The telephone was a brand new invention, of course, and some people distrusted it. I've heard father tell how one night watchman at the plant simply refus- ed to answer it at all. He'd have no part of any devilish contraption that made people talk when you couldn't see them! Reid: But in spite of his misgiv- ings the telephone became one more factor in making that old house a wonderful place to live. Wilson: Yes, Dot, it was a won- derful place, and it provided many years of gracious, living. And I'm sure that grandfather would be a proud and happy man today were he alive, to see the gracious work of mercy tha•ts now carried on within its walls. Reid: Just as Matthew and William Scott would be happy to see the wonderful way in which their money has been put to work, and the heart-warming contribu- tions of money and labor that so many others have given to the Hospital through the years . . Friends, the great work of this fine old house muht go on! That any- thing should happen to 'impair it is unthinkable. So every cent that you and I can spare is needed. We're counting on you to make our telephones ring tonight in be- half 'of Scott Memorial Hospital. Japan4 Norex, Obina, and India, she brought her drst'hand 1/W170494s of the need for physical xelier for these people; how .the Church bee been operating in these devastated countries under severe hardship, and 'the urgency of the need for Christianity. to step, in and give these disillusioned peoples an out - 1t4 for their energy by demonstrat- ing emonstrating the advantages of Christianity over Conemunian*. The opportuni- ties for work among these peoples are unlimited; therefore, she urg- ed rged her hearers to go back and dou- ble the membership of the auxil- iaries so that givings would be doubled' and the Dominion Board could then budget for 'twice as much. In that way, more mission- aries could be sent and the whole work doubled. No other organiza- tion is even comparable to the Christian Church in keeping world peace. She concluded by challeng- ilak her hearers to believe in the Christian -Church and then work for it. Resolutions were passed that let- ters of protest would be written the C.B.C., re their recent move to per- mit liquor advertising over the radio, and also to our local Pro- vincial Members of 'Parliament, re the proposed bill to permit organ- ized Sunday sport. An invitation was accepted to hold the 1949 rally at 'Brucefield.
