A NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE
(Written by The Rev, W. J. Rogers)
•
..
1948: has joined the parade of past years. During
the year 1948 we have had our joys and our sor-
rows, our successes and our disappointments,
We should be grateful that we live in a land
where there is plenty and where we can live in a
degree of safety, At the same time we regret
that there is so much crime and economic unrest
in our land. We also regret that the internation-
al scene does not seem much brighter than at the
beginning' of 1948.
1949: is just around "the corner, There is' always a
great deal of uncertainty about the future. We
cannot look into a crystal ball and find out what
'the year 1949 has in store, We can however en-
ter the New Year with a faith that light is
stronger than darkness„ that goodness is more
powerful than evil, and that the eternal forces
of the universe are on the side of the construc-
tive efforts of mankind,

Tears rushed tvithout warning to
the surface and dimmed her eyes.
"Dan, Dau, my darling—" she
whispered softy to h.rself, her lips
moving silently to form his name.

He wouldn't fight fair, or he never
would have had a chance with you.
Joe never takes an unnecessary
risk." A sob caught in her throat
and she swallowed hard. "It is all
my fault," she thought contritely,
"I ant the one to blame for you
being in the hospital hurt, I should
not have carried my trouble to you,"
She paused to listen suddenly and
it seethed that the silence of the
resting place was broken by the
whispers of one who lay there.
Honey's ear seemed to catch a soft,
sweet tone and it kept saying
triumphantly:
"Honey, Honey—you did it! Vou
are a very brave girl and I am
proud of you. I knew you wouldn't
fail ale. And now you have made
me happy again and I can rest in
peace."
« «
1-Iouey answered back in a low
murmur: "Yes, I got it. I kept
my promise." And there was elation
and pride in her reply to the un-
seen voice.
At last she came to •the spot she
was looking for, recognizing it by
the tall, thin marker. She touched
the small, carved wings at the top
of the stone and let her hand slide
along its,contour, lovingly, as if she
were caressing some one she loved
very dearly. Then she knelt down
quickly before the gray slab of
granite whose inscription she could
'not read in the darkness, but she
knew the words by memory; she
had composed them herself.
She lifted up her face to the
foggy heavens above her and her
lips moved in a little prayer, but
the words were so low and deep in
her throat that only a whisper
escaped through her lips. As she
finished, there was a slight noise be-
hind her, like a stealthy step. Her
heart came right into her throat
and the blood in her veins ran cold.
Ever so slowly she moved her head
by using every ounce of courage she
had Int her body, until she could
see back of her. Then she wheeled
violently about to face her foe.
I.
"Meow" said a little kitten at her,*
heels and rubbed up against her leg.
Honey choked back the hysterical
sob that rose to her lips and put a
hand over her quivering heart. She
waited' and in a moment she was
calm again and. the little black kit-
ten walked slowly off.
She turned back to the grave and
started digging with the tool Art ,
had given her.
It was not a big cavity that she
dug --fust a place about 4 incites

Placed her soft lips against the cool,
hard surface of the stone for a
second.
"You are hone at last," she
breathed against it. She moved it up
against her tear -wet cheek. "Make

turbed .and she tan sleep in peace,

Barryntorc laid a hand on his arm

you believe this ;irl is unworthy

4' I may add, not unusual among
* mothers. He chose her, from
* all the girls he knew, to be his
* wife. She must have some re-
* deeming qualities; Why not admit
* that, and let these two alone?
* You cannot win, you know. A
* young husband in love is not so
* easily torn front his bride. As a
* loyal son, he "takes your side,"
* But after all, doesn't a man's
* first loyalty belong to his wife?
* Again, think hack to your own

One day last week I was in the
elty. Business kept me occupied
until noon, After lunch, it being
so close to Christmas, I thought a
little last minute shopping might be
in order, Perhaps I might chance
on something new or novel—per-
haps, who knows, I might even find
the Christmas spirit, So I dived
through the revolving door of the
nearest department store and came
up for breath on the inside, You see
those doors were turning so fast,
with so many folk going in and out,
one had.to literally make a dive for
an empty stall, or miss it entirely,
Inside there was the usual crowd
—lonely, embarrassed males shop-
ping in the lingerie department;
teen-agers in the record shop; young
married couples doing a lot of look-
ing liut little buying—probably fur-
nishing their dream -home -to -be
after they leave their one -room
apartment in Mother's home to set
up for themselves,
And in the flower shop a young
fellow, hands In his pockets, looked
longingly and unbelievably at roses
forty-five cents a piece, Another,
an elderly man, was buying a few
delicate snapdragons , did he
have an invalid wife at house, or in
the hospital, and was he trying to
bring a little brightness into her life?

aged couple were inquiring the price
of a silver tea -service, Was it for
a wedding present, I wondered?
Apparently $125 was a little more
than they expected so they wan-
dered away.
One look at the bargain basement
and I fled, Women jostled each
other at every counter and in the
aisles, A few meek men trailed
along behind their women -folk,
carrying bulging shopping bags.
Tired,' dishevelled and protesting
children' were dragged along, The
air was stifling, "No," I said to my-
self, "I'll never fired the Christmas
spirit down here—there isn't room1"
Back upstairs 1 watched the re-
action of the sales -clerks Most of
them were astonishingly polite and
obliging, the only hint of impatience
was when a customer could not
make up her mind, Somehow I
felt a little of the Christmas spirit
had found a resting place behind the
department store counters.
However, 1 soon tired of the
stores' and went to visit my sister-
in-law, A little old lady got on
the street - car firmly grasping a
four-year-old grand -daughter by the
hand, "Grannie, when do we get
off ----eh, Grannie—when do we?"
"Soon, dear — very soon," And
Grannie looked every bit as excited
over whatever was in store for them
as the wee girl, The trans stopped
. the little lady and the little
girl hurried to get off, The con-
ductor saw these—leaning forward .
he called—"I-1i, lady, not this stop
• .. next stop is Wellesley"
Ah, the Christmas spirit, I though.
Why else should the conductor
worry if the two had to walk a
couple of blocks? We started up
again; this time I noticed a man,
deathly white—and strap-hangingl
There was obviously something
wrong and I quickly offered him
my seat. He spoke nota word but
shook his head, It was then that
a matt sitting next to me came to
life—"He can have my seat," he
said, The white-faced man accepted,
It was then that I noticed his blue
hospital jeans,
i Later some school girls- boarded
the car; this time there were almost
enough seats, but not quite. A
minister got on; one of the girls,
to my great delight, immediately
jumped up and offered him her seat,
That, I thought, Is not the Christ-
mas spirit. It is just ordinary,
everyday decency and respect with
that child.
Before going to the station that
night I stopped at a florist's and
treated anyaelf to a large Boston
fern, It was after the rush hour
so ] took a chance on what would
happen to my fern on the street-
car. But right away I got in a
mix -u , .x t,4,o was 1, one arm full
of fern, the other hugging sur b'e
and a parcel , and no ticket)
Somehow I unearthed a loose quar-
ter in my pocket, got my tickets and
then couldn't tear one off• Seeing
my predicament another passenger
came to my rescue, tore off a ticket
and dropped it' into the box, Such
a Attie thing to do, but without
that Christmas spirit In the air my
fellow passenger might not have
noticed me at all,
But oh, how nice it was to be

How to Launder
Fine Fabrics
Now that our table linen is no
longer limited to the large white
damask tablecloths which our
grandmothers considered • the only
thing for a lady's table, and the
shops are full of all sorts of en-
ticing and colorful luncheon sets,
doilies, runners and so forth, we
must give a little thought to the
method of laundering, if they are
to retain their original attractive-
ness.
White table linen may be washed
just as other white cottons and
linens; that is, first soak them in
lukewarm suds, wash them in fresh
• hot suds, thoroughly rinse them and
dry in the sun.
For colored pieces, however, un-
less one is positive the colors are
fast, a little care should be taken to
preserve the original attractiveness
of the material,
Just as for colored hankies the
safe procedure is to wash all types
of colored table linens in lukewarm
or cool suds, to thoroughly rinse
them in clear, lukewarm water, roll
in a Turkish towel to remove the
excess moisture, immediately un-
roll and hang to dry at once.
Some of the thinner materials are
ready to iron at once. Articles with
embroidery or appliqued designs
look best If ironed on the wrong side
over a soft pad such as several
thicknesses of a Turkish towel.
This makes the embroidery stand
out and look more like new- When
ironing linen it is important to iron
the material until thoroughly dry,
as if left damp it tends to have a
puckered effect when dry.
Square or oblong articles and also
round doilies should be ironed with
the thread of the material in order
to keep the min shape.
Linen table mats edged with lace
or crochet require special care in
ironing, The mats should be pinned
in the correct shape to the ironing
sheet when wet, placing the sins
close together where the lace • joins
the linen. Iron with the point of the
iron and .keep the mat pinned out
till the lace is quite dry.
A lace cloth needs careful hand-
ling and the very mildest of soaps
should be used for washing it in
warm water. If washed in a wringer
place table cloth in a bag or pillow
case to prevent.tearing.
Before laundering, all tears and
holes should be repaired, and if a
tablecloth is going thin, the linen

should be carefully darned or backsd
with a reinforcement of linen or
net.
After each meal get after stains
and spots, washing out in cold
water, coffee, tea and dish -gravy
stains. Brown gravy, ice cream and
butter stains should yield to a hot,
soapy water washing,
Fruit stains should be treated by
placing the marred portions over a
bowl and pouring boiling water from
a kettle held at a height so that the
water hits the stain with force. No
matter what the stain get after it at
once,
If the table linen is put away
stained and spotted, it will take
much rubbing and strong agents to
remove the spots. This will tend to
.shorten the life of your napery.
Do not use starch on linen that
is put away and used frequently, and
do not use starch if the cloth is of
listen or lace or all lace. It is best
not to launder a really fine lace
banquet cloth, Such pieces should
be sent to a good dry cleaning es-
tablishment.
When you put away fine napery,
place it carefully between sheets of
blue tissue paper, Keep the linen,
if possible, on a shelf of its own.

Being a tidy soul, the lieutenant
instructed her to find out who was
calling, and why. The next day, the
secretary told him that it was the
post fire department. "They want
the right time so they can sound the

TABLE TALKS
eJam Androls:
If you're expecting company —
possibly your Womena Club—I'ra
sure that both you and they will be
pleased with this Date Pudding,
which has the advantage that it
can be prepared well ahead of time.
It's made like a layer -cake, with
filling added. Here's the recipe:
Date Pudding
5 eggs
y; cup flour
cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped nuts '
1 cup chopped dates
1 teaspoon vanilla
Method
Beat egg yolks. Add sugar and
flour, sifted with baking powder,
then the nuts, dates and vanilla.
Last, add well -beaten egg whites,
Bake in a very slow oven in two
9 -inch square pans. Maybe you
have a favorite filling which you'd
prefer to use. However, thio one Is
easy to prepare—and very good.
Filling
1 cup milk
1 egg
34 cup sugar
I teaspoon corn starch
l tablespoon butter
Method
Cook in double boiler until It h
thickened. Cool; and when ready
to serve place between pudding
layers. Serve in squares. Whipped
cream — although not essential —
adds that finishing touch,
Some sort of treat to put in those
lunch boxes' is a problem with many,
and I'm sure that these sand tarts
will be warmly received, no matter
whether the lunch -boxes in your
family travel schoolward, or to
work.
Sand Tarts
1 cup brown sugar
IA cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
14 teaspoon salt
13' cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Cinnamon and sugar
Method
Cream shortening and brown
sugar. Blend in the egg, saving out
a little of the white, ant add the
the vanilla. Add flour, sifted with
the baking powder and salt. Mix
well. Chill. Roll' thin, cut
with cookie cutter, brush with
lightly beaten egg white, then
sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.'
—(one tablespoon sugar to one-
fourth teaspoon cinnamon). Bake
in a 350 -degree oven for 10 minuteh`

to last, better keep them under
lock and key -that is, if your folks

all union sports writers — after
what they make look like a terrific
amount of mental labor and distress
— give their readers a thrill by, of

and also attempting to forecast

the faces of all the Southern so-

However, we were just as happy
it happened the way it did, as it
proved that it is still possible for
a comparatively poor man to win

Air "Motorcycle"
Is The Latest
A one -ratan helicopter' that gives
Juan something like the versatility
of bird flight has been invented here,
Called the "lloppi-Copter," it
consists of its own two counlcr-
revpiving, coaxial rotors, its engine,
and- its pilot—that's all!
It has no body: simply a seat awl
a tripod landing gear beneath the
pilot• it's a sort of motorcycle ul
the air.
Horace Pentecost, the machine's
inventor, returned recently from
London to announce that the
machine will be Manufactured in
England and sold throughout the
British Empire and the United
States altd possessions.
"\\'e could not find a suitable en-
gine for the lloppi-Coptcr anywhere
in America," explained 1l r, Pent: -
cost. "But in England they have half
a dozen light engines that are suit-
able,"
` 4
Mr, Pentecost explained that he
was severely hampered in Hoppi-
Copter development for lack of a
suitable engine. The one he used in
his prototype model was a war-`
surplus two -cylinder engine built
for use in robot, radio -controlled
target aircraft,
It is expected that the production ,
model may have as much as a three-
honr cruising period.
Simple Controls
'Che Hoppi-Copter will land and
take-otT in a cleared arca 30 feet
square, Its flight controls are ex-
tremely simple; up with the control
stick to fly upward, down to fly
downward! forward, back, left tor
to right with the stick, to go in those
directions.
It can (lover motionless in the air
or rotate about its own vertical
axis. 1)irectional stability is main-
tained through its counter -rotating
rotor's, which prevent torque front
reaching the "fuselage" except as
control is required,
Multiple Uses
t'scs of the new craft will include
patrol work along power and pipe
lines in inaccessible areas, over
forests, borders, cattle ranges, and
along short lines. Prospectors, ex-
plorers, and even delivery men
could use 11oppi-Copters.
As with other helicopters, engine
failure poses no particular problem,
The pilot merely puts the rotor
blades "flat," they windmill at ap-
proximately normal speed, and the
machine descends at about 15 m,p.h,
downward speed,
1Vhcn the ground is about 1., feet
away, the pilot gives lifting pitch to
the rotors, and their momentum
slows the descent to a soft landing'
A few minutes after the elegant
$6,000,000 Pittsburgh post office
was opened to the public, customers
began complaining that there was
no letter drop. Dismayed Postmas-
ter 'Turner got in touch with the
architects, w'ho shamefacedly con-
fessed they had actually forgotten
all about that important item,
Use Oil Paint
For Radiators
Wht•tt . redecorating the home,
radiators should not be refinished

practice growing in popularity.

Naturally the surface should be !Ire
before starting.
Rust should be scraped or sand-
papered off before starting to paint.
A careful wash with a solvent such
as turpentine will remove all grease
which might prevent the finish
from adhering properly,
On Books

became the first Governor of Upper Canada,
The trails he followed are now the
highways of a great and prosperous province
In the historic years between, men and
women have fought, struggled and sacrificed
to make this land a better place
in which to live.
In presenting The Dow Award

and again that this epirit
of courage and selflessness
has become a definite
Canad;an characteristic.

these years of achievement
give us the faith and the

Power of Pessimism
One pessimist can knock down
the v..'rk of a thousand sincere
builders. The pessimist doesn't need
to have any ability, 'except the abil-
ity to break hearts, stop progress
and destroy human faith. The pessi-
mist believes that nothing is pos-
sible, that every activity will have
a bad ending, that the accomplish-
ment of good and great things is
not one of the functions of man. :\
ton of sincerity cin be destroyed by
an ounce of pessimism.
The pessimist is the devil in dis-
guise. ile specializes in discourage-
ment, Ifc loves to take the negative
side. Ile says, "The depression after
this war twill be tltc worst the world
has ever knew!" Ile says, "Bad
times arc coming." 1le says, "Trust
. 110 man—everyone's a crook."
And his pessimism is powerful!
His forebodings are believed a limo
cared times faster than the predic•
tions and assurances of those able
workers who seek to do the great-
est good for their nation and hu-
nutity. For the pessiniist has a
tremendous advantage over the op-
'tinlist, The optimist has to think
and act in a plus way. -He has to
solve the problem, and more than
that, he has to overcome the in-
human resistance which the pessi-
' mist throw's in to stake the problem
almost insurmountable. All the
pessimist has tt do is say: "No
good. It can't be done.”
It's a lot harder to be an optimist
than a pessimist—but be one any-
way. Muster up the' extra energy
it takes to think big, to act nobly, to
see good itt people and in things.
Shout the pessimist down. ignore
him, override hint, crush him with
the steamrolle, r4 enthusiastic good
faith,

SIX CROPS A YEAR
Boil each acre of soil on your
farm with steam for 85 minutes,
then get ready to plant—and har-
vest—front six to eight crops a
year. The method might be worth
the trouble even for a• "victory
garden." It has proved practical and
payable on an 11 -acre farm near
Edinburgh, Scotland,
Steam -heated pipes pass about
two feet below the surface to give
the soil a warning glow, but far-
mer David Lowe and his three
brothers have to work hard to keep
the crops on their way. They' are
probably the most successful truck -
gardening experts in the British
Isles.
They boil their soil in December,
killing all vestige of weeds, David
Lowe calls it "soil sterilization."
Each year, every acre Is given no
less than 100 tons of fertilizer and
decomposed matter. The 1943 crops
that resulted front the intensive
treatment were greater than those
for 1942, but the latter seem jin-
pressive enough. Here they are:
A total of, 343,695 heads of lettuce,
945,000 turnips, 1,102,800 carrots,
46,000 heads of cauliflower, 1,500,-
000 leeks for transplanting, 21,900
bunches or radishes (25 to the
bunch), 271,320 heads of celery, 560
pounds of onions, 7,517 marrows,
1170 pounds of cucumbers, 518
pounds of French beans, 480 bunch-
es of stint, 2280 pounds of tomat-
oes, six tons of rhubarb and 284
ttventy•pound bags of brussels
sprouts. This year the production
of celery and radishes has been
doubled.
'l'he plot is broken by by wooden
frames. As the clays grow colder,
these are covered with glass and
the heat front below is intensified,
Lettuce, turnips, carrots and
cauliflower grow together, The car-
rot seed' is first broadcast, then the
ground rolled and the lettuce plants
placed. Six weeks later, turnips are
ptauua --r_ _ ",•v. remaining avail-
able space, As soon as t1ttuce
heads are cut, the carrots jump sun-
wards, Simultaneously, cauliflower
is planted, and at ,about the same
time the turnips mature, followed
shortly afterward by the carrots.

WHAT THE MATTER, THEODORE, DON'T
YOU THINK IT'S POLITE TO POINT
I
The hot waters of Iceland arc
the only ones found in any abund-
ance in far northern regions; a
large proportion of them are hot
springs rather than waren; they are
located in the most populous and
best agricultural areas, and what is
of prince importance front the stand-
point of utilization, they carry a
smaller percentage of dissolved
mineral matter and gases than is
ordinarily found in springs of this
type. This is most important be-
cause it minimizes the amount of
mineral scale which would be de-
posited In the plumbing systetits,
and decreases the obnoxious odors
so often attendant in such types of
underground waters,
Twice as large as Nova Scotia,
Iceland is a vast volcanic pile of
over 40,000 square miles, It is a
young land, having been built up
for the most part during the last
ice age by outpourings of tremend-
ous lava flows, Twenty of its 200
volcanoes have been in eruption 'in
modern times, The greatest of
these occurred in 1783 when lava
streams from Laki covered an arca
of 218 square utiles and spread a
volume of three cubic miles over
the land.
The youthfulness of its volcanic
activities indicates that there exist
widespread and numerous pockets
of molten natter which have not
'yet reached the surface. This insures
a permanency of subterranean fur-
naces, Freshly stoked with white•
hot molten rock, these fiery pock•
ets will heat the underground waters
for a long time to come,
As geological surveys arc made,
hot waters of a higher temperature
than those now emerging at the sur-
face will soon become available to
transform this paradoxical land of
ice and fire into an Arctic oasis
where subtropical fruits and veget-
ables will be raised the year round,
interrupted 'by the vagaries of
seasons.
Before long the day may come
"heti Iceland will become the hot-
house ot- world,and the only
country where fuel »w he as free

Business Getter
An old Italian who was blessed
with that certain spark that distin-
guishes a great merchant decided to
open a shoeshine parlor near the
gates of Camp Upton, His friends
did all they could to dissuade him,
pointing out that there were already
six shoeshine emporiums on that
self -sante street.
"I fix," said the little Italian—and
did. Within two weeks five times
as many soldiers were patronizing
his little stand on their way to New
York for a beg weekend as all his
competitors could muster together.
Directly over his stand was a sign
with big letters that read:
"One shoe shined free."
In 1907 the United States Mint.
coined eagles and double eagles fat-
ter In the middle than at the rim,
with the result that they would not
stack and had to be withdrawn.
Profit Drop
It is always' possible to find in-
dividual companies which appear to
be staking an abnormal profit, (it's
equally easy to point to those which
are losing stoney.) On closer ex-
amination the excessive profit often
springs from a temporary and non-
recurring condition, or represents
the peak years of a feast and fanz-
ine industry.
At other times it is merely a
statistical phenomenon.or in-
stance, a ratan may start a small
business with a capital of $5,000
and within a few years (or decades),
by dint of hard work, may be earn -
that much in a prosperous year. To
say his profit of 100 per cent on the
original investment is excessive is
meaningless. Vet that is often the
basis of the distorted slogans which
are flaunted by those who embark
on witch hunts for profiteers, In
their haste they ignore those enter-
prises which have fallen by the way-
side.
The Canadian ,tlanufacturers' As-
sociation recently examined the re-
cord of profits in Canada and found
in the figures published by the De-
partment of National Revenue that
6,278 corporations reported losses in
1945 against 20,951 which made a
profit.
Also, tot:,l profits after taxes in
1939 represented 11.4 per cent of the
national income, while in 1947 they
were only 9.4 per cent, Similarly,
dividends in 1939 amounted to 6.7
per cent of the national income, Last
year they were a mere. 3.8 per cent.
In other words, stockholders'
share of the national income had
shrunk by almost half since 1939.

This is the time of year when
most of us make good resolutions
for the coming year, evert though
we now quite well that they're
liable to last about as long as a
snowball in—well, you know where.
Personally I never hear of "good
resolutions" without thinking of old
Sandy McTo ,h, back in Bruce
County many years ago.
* « *
Sandy's chief weakness was "the
drink" until one day, when he was
in a repentant mood, "The Meen-
ister" got hold of him and gave him
a real talking-to. And Sandy, whose
head was aching terribly, finally
broke down, said he'd been an aw-
ful fool, and solemnly resolved
never to take another drink,,
* * *
Full of pride, the next day, he
walked down the main street of the
village, passing by the door of his
favorite tavern without so much as
a sideways glance, Fifteen or
twenty steps farther one he suddenly
stopped short and said, "Weel done,
good resolutions, ye deserve a drink
for that." Whereupon he turned
back and went into the tavern.
* * *
However, Sandy and his resolu-
tions haven't much to do with farm-
ing, which is what this column is
supposed to be about, So let's see
if I can't scare up a few items
which might possibly be of some
interest and service. So here goes.
* * *
It's said that. comparatively few
hatcherymen or producers of broil-
ing fowl realize the extreme' impor-
tance of large size hatching eggs
in obtaining big and profitable
broilers at 10 rr 12 weeks, Under
exactly the sanco conditions chicks
from eggs weighing 26 ounces or
more per dozen will actually weigh
a quarter pound more apiece when
sold as fryers than chicks Matched
from eggs weighing 121 ounces per
dozen.
* * *
This extra quarter -pound could
many times mean the difference be-
tween a fair return for one's labor
and no labor income at all, Size
of eggs—also size of day-old chicks
—should be taken into considera-
tion by broiler growers as a really
important factor in profits.
* *
According to alt American writer
that old joke about putting green
spectacles on mules and then feed-
ing them on sawdust may not be so
far ori the beans after all, Success-
ful feeding of poultry on chemically
treated sawdust has been reported
from the States of Washington.
* * *
The new feed ingredient is a form
of molasses produced by an acid
treatment of sawdust. It is said to
contain around fifty per cent of
sugar, and has been added to
chicken and turkey diets as a substi-
tute for wheat and corn, From here
it sounds sort of like a foul deal
for ,the fowl—but maybe the •diet
ishctter than the pun, at that.
* * *
Right - around now might be a
good time to start repairing any
farts machinery that may be in
treed of a little fitting, Foreign aid
as well as military defense programs.!
are putting the squeeze on steel
—and there's a chance that it may
be quite a bit harder to get within
the next year or so.
* * *
No doubt you already know it—
but thick frost o the walls or cell•
logs of your livestock buildings Is
a sign .that they're not properly
ventilated. Slot • type ventilators
work best on low -roofed buildings.
Flue type ventilators are O.K. for
buildings with enough height to
keep air moving up the flue.
* * *
If this is true—and its told as a
fact-- it looks as though farmers
ought to strike out for even higher
prices. For it's said that one hun-
dred years ago one farm worker
produced enough agricultural pro-
ducts to support himself and only
three other persons, whereas today
the average farm laborer produces
enough to feed himself and thirteen
and a half others.
* * *
Just how you support a half -per•
son I really wouldn't know—but
possibly that represents the amount
of food that would be raised by a
lot of persons who write telling
farmers how to run their business,
present company NOT excepted,
* * *
According to tests made by a big
packing house, carcass losses front
improper treatment of hogs aver-
age around 48 cents a head from
bruising alone. The tests were made
in over a thousand good and choice
hogs selected at random and thirty-
nine per cent of them were found
to be bruised.
* * *
What is even more important
nearly half of this bruising occurred
on the farm before the animals were
loaded for shipment. Forty - eight
cents may not sound like a whale
of a lot of money—but multiply it
by fifty or a hundred and it mounts
up,
* * *
Which should be about enough
of this for one week, don't you
think 2 And you don't really need
to shout that chorus of "Yes's"
quite so loudly,
