The Clinton News Record, 1933-08-31, Page 6PAGE G NE1/S THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD THURS., AUGUST 31;_19.33, AHO HAN'ENINGS Timely Information for the Busy Farmer '( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture ) Graded Beef Popular That Canadiata consumers are be- ginning to appreciate the advantages of government graded beef, is borne out by the fact that monthly sales, in the Dominion, now approximately three million pounds. ' It is also re, ported that the demand is increasing' steadily. When all •classes of live: stock do not have access to fresh water, they suffer considerably during the hot weather. The owner in turn suffers, as the animals, deprived of the re- quired amount ;of water, do not put on flesh or produce milk as they oth- erwise might. A good water, supply is a necessity on every live stock farm and provision should be made to .make it avaiable to the animals. vesearee Value of Cooling Milk It is a simple matter to control bacterial growth in milk. At 40 de- grees F. there is practically no change in the number of bacteria at the end of 24 hours; at 50 degrees the number increases four fold and at 60 degrees nearly a hundred times as many as at the start. Milk should be cooled as promptly as possible. Freshly drawn milk contains a sub- stance known as lactenin which is able to restrain bacteria for a cer- tain period, If the cooling is dee. rayed the effect soon passes off; by prompt cooling the •,lacenie effect may be extended even to 24 hours or Ionger. Cooking Schools The cooking schools held at Strath toy, Exeter, St. Mary's and Aylmer recently under auspices of the De- partment of Agriculture, proved very successful. For instance at Aylmer, more than 200 women at- tended each day. Mr. Geo. A. Put- nam, superintendent of Women's Institutes for Ontario was in charge and his assistants were Miss Edith Hopkins and Miss M. E. McDairmid, The idea was to demonstrate how to :make the best use of Ontario's bountiful foodstuffs new ideas for preparing economical menus; new ways to get the best out of meats; new thoughts on preparing dainty salads and desserts and enjoyable bev- erages; new suggestions for canning fruits and vegetables; and new me- thods for making the table allow- ance go farther and still keep the family weIl-fed. Printed recipes were also furnished. It is likely that the cooking school plan will be ex- tended to other centres in the future. oto New Shipping Regulation Safeguards Apple Export As a safeguard against the export to Great Britain of apples infested with apple maggot, steamship lines have indicated that they will refuse to load cargoes of apples from in- fested areas, unless certified free of apple maggot by Dominion Fruit Branch Inspectors, according to the Ontario Marketing Board. Apple growers, planning to begin this sea- 'son's apple export shortly, should note carefully the new regulation. eE7CY Top Prices Are Secured 'Again Through Orderly Distribution Once again the advantages of neo -operative marketing and central packing are clearly demonstrated according to C. W. Bauer, secretary, Ontario Growers' Markets Council. The South Essex Growers' Exchange, through their four central packing plants, have established en enviable reputation for uniform quality. As a result, this organization is experi- encing no difficulty in securing top prices for its entire supplies. Cattle Eligible for Grading In Demand at Toronto Market "On a delivery of 3,100 head of cattle to the Toronto Livestock Mar- ket," said Garnet H. Duncan, live4 stock investigator, Ontario Market- ing Board, "only 550 of these ani- mals were eligible to make Blue or Red Brand beef. "Of this number 150 were baby beef, 194 butcher •cattle, and 296 heavy cattle. Of the 296 heavy cat- tle, 250 were exported, bringing good returns to the producer. "If such a state continues, in view of the decided consumer preference for graded beef, it is quite possible that the demand will far exceed the supply in the near future." 6,Qli<O Produce Improvement Seen As Result of Legislation As a result of the recent enabling legislation passed by the Ontario 'Government to the Federal Fruit Act, there is a decided improvement in the quality of produce appearing on the Toronto market. Heretofore Federal regulations •were not appli- cable' to the movement of produce within the Province. However the recent enabling legislation requires that all produce, bearing a grade,, nark, must comply with the require- ments of the' act. This, undoubtedly, will have a stimulating effect on the consumption of our domestic produce, espeeially when the consumer real- izes 'the advantages of purchasing graded fruit and vegetables exeius- ively. X110 Separate Sexes Early Pullets will develop with greater uniformity if separated from the cockerels when they are eight to 12 weeks of age. The males are dome ineering and tend to claim the feed hopper space that has been allotted to the females. Furthermore it is good economy to sell the males be- fore they become staggy.

CENTURY?.: Front The New Era, Sept. let 1893: A drive on many of the country roads shows that pathmasters sadly neglect their duties so far as nutting thistles is concerned, The rains that have fallen have been very acceptable to farmers as the roots were not growing and the ground was too dry for plowing. Mr. Will Jackson has made two trips to the World's Fair and says he will go again. Thirty-three Modelites will come mence their special course of train, ing at Clinton Model School today. Tyndall Bros. had a horse injured by a wire fence the other day. Parties in town who have been in the habit of playing jokes on a cer- tain aged gentleman, 'with matrimon- ial inclinations, should cease such work, as the joke is being carried al- together to far. A colt owned by Mr. D. A. Forres- ter nearly hung itself the other day by getting its foot over the halter rope. Itis reported. that a young man who gave a young lady a ride home on Friday evening, by •her own re- quest, got roughiy handled by her father and intends to seek redress in court. Hotel Change: Mr. Lack Kennedy of the Central Hotel has sold out his business to Mr. Robt. Mason of the Base line, who takes possession the 2nd of October. Lack has not yet decided what he will do but he will probably remain in town. The Schools: The Collegiate In- stitute opened on Monday with a good attendance ... Mr. Scott, chair- man of the trustee board, and Dr, Shaw made 'an informal visit and ad- dressed a few words to the students and teachers. They Are Carried Here: It may be well to remember that any person found carrying concealed firearms without the permit of a justice of the peace will be imprisoned without the option of a fine. This will no doubt put a stop to the practice of carrying revolvers by persons who have no more use for a six shooter than a cat has for a side pocket. Good For Huron: Mr. James Snell of the Hayden -Barton Stock Farm, Hullett, has succeeded well at the World's Fair. In the yearling stat, proved pastures and have assisted the spring seeding of clover and grasses. Lambton County reports a 25 to 30 per cent increase in the ac- reage of land prepared for fall wheat Threshing of oats and barley in Kent is practically complete and while yields are below average, they are better than anticipated. Kent also reports that two canning com- panies are paying five cents a bushel in advance of contract prices for tomatoes. Summer fallow and after harvest cultivation are receiving a great deal of attention, in most dis- tricts now. In Haldimand quite a few farmers are having the oppor- tunity of plowing their land twice, which is an old practice seldom fol- lowed in the last decade or so. Lin- coln reports many early hatched poultry flocks beginning to lay freely and some are exceptionally well -grown by the judicious use of the O. A. C. growing mash. The yield of grain generally is much belaw normal, according to reports from several districts, but the quality is good. The harvest of Duchess ape pies is in full swing in the fruit - growing districts. eeeit=eei Poison Ivy Poison ivy , is rather difficult to eradicate except by persistent work, declares J. F. Clark, horticultural lecturer, Agricultural Societies Branch. If the patch is not too large, you can get rid of it by using One of the weed killers obtainable at seed stores. This should be applied according to the directions given, which specify that the ground should be saturated with the liquid. One or two applications applied a week or so apart will usually destroy the weed completely. Under some cir- cumstances it can be exterminated most readily by the use of a plumb- er's torch in the hands of someone who is immune from poisoning. A thorough burning out of the branch- es and roots is very effective, espec- ially if an application of some weed killer is made shortly afterwards. Another way of getting yid of this poison paint, when it is growing on the ground, is to cover as much of it as possible with boards or heavy roofing paper held down by boards. In the course of several weeks the lack of air, water and sunshine will cause the plants to perish. Salt brine is sometimes used, but it is too mild a remedy for large patches. lion class he gets the 7th premium; in the aged mare class, the 10th, and in the 2 -year-old mare class the 13th premium. When it is remembered that there are a very large number of entries in these classes, it is a great honour• to be successful as a prize-winner. A Splendid Instrument: Mr. H. Foster has lately added to his already weld -equipped photograph studio a' magnificent new camera, with which he is able to make photographs di- rect from life as Iarge as 20x24 in= ches. We understand that there is not a larger camera to Canada and only a few of equal arm. Owing to the illness of -.Rev. J. H. Simpson, pastor of Union church Brumfield, his pulpit work will be supplied on Sunday by Mr. Houston of the Clinton Collegiate in the morn- ing and Mr. Horace Foster in the evening. Mrs. W. B. Laing of Evanston, Ill., and her sister, Miss Maggie Jackson, who has been engaged as a tele- grapher in conncetion with the World's Fair, are home on a visit. The decision of the majority of To- ronto people not to sanction Sunday street cars is one which will meet with very general approval throughout the Province. Minister of Militia in Clinton: The Hon. J. C. Patterson, Minister of Mil- itia, accompanied by his wife and fancily and his private secretary, spent a few days here last week, making his head -quarters at the Rat- tenbetry... Numbers of his support- ers and a few Liberals called upon Mt. . . . Friday evening the new town band serenaded hien and were rewarded by a donation of $15 . Sunday morning he accompanied ex - Mayor Doherty to Rattenbury street church and in the evening accompan- ied Mr. Todd to the Episcopal church which is the one he regularly attends. He left by the South train Monday afternoon. Holmesvillet The annual anniver- sary and tea meeting held in the Methodist church will take place on Sept. 24th and 25th. HolmesvilIe is always noted for its tea meetings+ and this will be no exception. Water Power: Mr. B. Forster is , tired of carrying water up the hill and has arranged for something else! to do the work. His house is on the top of the hill and about half way i is the spring which supplies the house with water; he has put in a hydraulic ram a few feet below the spring, far enough to give the water consider- able fall, and by means of pipes the house is constantly supplied, The ram world perfectly and will throw the water ten feet up for every foot of drop. An Unpleasant Fall: Last week as Mr. Marquis was unloading sheav- es he had a very nasty fall. The load was nearly all on and the team was headed up the hill when the pitcher spoke to Mr. Marquis and the horses apparently thinking it was for them to move on, started throwing Mr.' Marquis backwards ov- er the sling rack and down the hill. He was fortunate in escaping with nothing More serious than a severe shaking up. hrottt The News -.Record, August 31st, 1892. Dr. -Shaw, Lack Kennedy and Jas. Beatty drove to Brussels and wit nessed the races on Friday. While Barry East and .D. Robin- son were excavating for Mr. Fair's new house Mr. East had the misfort- une to be struck with a pick, which went through his hand, making an ugly gash which will give him an un- sought holiday. Mr. G. A. McKee, who has been classical master in the Caledonia High School, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Morrow as classical mast- er in Clinton •Collegiate. On Tuesday evening of last week the members of the Dauntless La- erosse,Club had an enjoyable time at the Grand Union Hotel. They pres- ented Mr. John Kennedy with a hand- some easy chair on the eve of his mar- riage and many were the expressions of good will towards that young gent- leman in the toasts and short address- es given. Mr. George D. McTaggart and Mrs. McTaggart are holidaying. The gentleman left 'on Saturday to join his wife at Morrisburg. They will, spend a portion of their holiday at Old Orchard Beach, State of Main. The editor of the New Era and Mrs, Holmes are on a trip to Winnipeg and other points. Messrs. McKee and Gundry, our new high school teachers, have ar- rived in town and are already in harn- ess. John, son of Deputy -Reeve Kennedy was married last Wednesday to Miss Hattie, daughter of Mr. J. Fordon, Stapleton. Rev. W. Craig, B.D. per- formed the ceremony. There were about 60 guests who witnessed the happy event and showered congratu- lations on the estimable couple. William Mason, while cutting sheaf bands at a threshing at the farm of A. Couch on Tuesday of last week ac- cidentally inflicted an ugly gash on his right arm below the elbow. D. Cantelon shipped last week el- even cars of apples and has already purchased aboltt 20,000 barrels. May Fly As a Bird: Pennington of Chicago, the king of airships . . is again to the front. In three week's time a great human bird, it is claim- ed, will weep over the city in the direction of New York . . . Still, human incredulity stands aghast when it is asked to pit a simple trusting belief in the claim that any man has engenuity enough to rival the feath, ery creatures of the air. A serious stabbing affray took place at Wroxeter the other clay. W. Johnston perhaps fatally stabbed J. H. Cameron, who is keeping a board- ing house in the Grand Central Hotel. He formerly occupied Johnston's hotel and there has been a good deal of dis- pute between the two men over rent and furniture. Last Thursday John- ston went to Cameron's place and pressed for payment of some furnit- ure with Mr. Cameron . . in a tassel Johnston drew a knife and stabbed Cameron two or three times . . . one wound is considered dangerous . F. S, .Scott being here Johnston was put under arrest , . , After the mag- istrate's trial on Thursday evening he was taken to Goderich to wait his trial at the assizes. e WHEN THE PRESENT CENTURY WAS 'YOUNG The News -Record, August 27th, 1908 The town schools open Monday. The ladies of the Baptist church, with a few of their friends, picnicked on the river flats the other afternoon. They all reported a very enjoyable time. John Sheritt, Stephen, was chosen as Conservative candidate in South Huron.. Misses Carrie and Ella Akam have returned from a visit with friends in Detroit. The first mentioned goes to Toronto to the millinery openings. The manager and inmates of the House of Refuge wish through The News -Record to thank Father Hanlon for his kindness in sending them two large cans of ice cream yesterday. They enjoyed it immensely. St Joseph Church held a successful picnic on Tuesday, the proceeds being over $700. ..:*=IMrsY From The New Era, August 27th, 1908 Mr. John Johnston, who has con- .10.,s..ses..r WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS WILL LIKELY FIND IT The man who drives year before last year's •car with last year's lic- ense on next years' income is looking for trouble.—IGoderich Star, oezeite SHOULD READ GOLDEN RULE A young teacher who has had an expensive education (perhaps not yet paid for) and who simply must get a job, is in a bad way when he or she comes to dicker with some trustee boards over the. question of salary. Taxpayers deserve full consideration ,but there is such a thing as carrying an advantage too far and parsimon- ious trustees have it in their power to deliver a body blow to education ire times like these. After reading the minutes of the last meeting, it might be well for some Trustee Boards to recite in unison the Golden Rule before proceeding to hire a teacher. --,St. Marys Journal -Argus. "WHAT HAPPENED What happens if Canada refuses permission to British settlers who really want to farm? Well, one goes to Africa and produces fruit; one goes to Australia - and becomes a sheep rancher; another takes up dairying in New Zealand; still an- other becomes a tobacco grower in one of the far-off British colonies and still another, with characteristic British courage, ventures into wheat growing somewhere under the Union Jack. Their product will find its way to the Old Country market just as does the Canadian surplus, and the competition is no easier for us be- cause they raised their product in one of the other Dominions. The competition is the same and it would be far better for Canada to have them settle here, use our abundant facilities and pay taxes. --Farmer's Advocate. elm DETAINED IN CUBA The general strike in Cuba and the havoc which followed in its wake was described to The Globe as "all start. ing in a very simple way" by Thorne ton Purkis, Toronto. business mean, who has just returned front Cuba. Mr. Purkis, in company with his wife, was returning front a trip in South America, when they decided to stop off at Cuba, not knowing of the int., pending strike. No sooner had they landed than the storm burst, For six- teen days, throughout the entire dis- turbance, they were in Cuba and un- able to leave. For a period of ten days they had no bread, and what food they did get was of a very poor quality. Mr. Purkis states that he never saw business so completely paralyz- ed. All stores were closed for ten days. The only business institutions open were the banks and the insur- ance companies. These did no busi- ness. They were heavily guarded and open only because the Constitu- tion of Cuba calls for them to be open on every business day. On his first day on Cuban soil Mr. Purkis saw three men shot down. From then on shooting could be heard throughout the day and night Martial law was proclaimed, and any one appearing on the streets after 8 ducted a successful harness business in Clinton for a number of years but disposed of the same some months ago, has purchased a similar business in Dungannon. Three local liveries ran convey- ances to the St. Joseph picnic on Tuesday and were well patronized. The New Era has again to express its indebtedness to The News -Record for the use of its press in getting out this issue, ours having met with a had accident for the second time within a few weeks, ARE SAYING ' o'clock at night risked ' being shot. The only cars •which ' appeared on the streets were Government care heavily armed, and these lead to run:: a continuous gauntlet of broken glass scattered about ' the streets. Mr'.. Purkis is of the opinion that it will' be some months before life in Cuba resumes an even course. The trouble - was more serious than people here• imagined, be states. --,Globe. te-t1 SHOULD USE MORE If people used Hydro as much as: they talk about it, there wouldn't be. • any surplus.—London Free Press. ,GODERICH: Mrs. H. N. Hansen, wife of an executive of the Ford Mo- - tor Co., Dearborn, Mich.; is at the • Hotel Sunset under the ea10 of Dr. W. F. Gallow recovering from in— juries received in an acicelefit on the Bluewater Highway, five miles soutZ of Bayfield Tuesday. Driving over the brow of a hill the lady' and her husband, who was at the wheel, come suddenly upon a drove of cattle stretched across the road. He took to the ditch and turned over several • times. Farmers rushing from fields found Mr. and Mrs. Hansen buried - in the luggage in the back seat, res- cued them with some difficulty. Mrs. Hansen suffered a wrenched back' and injured knee. Her condition - was reported as favorable: Mr. Han- sen escaped with a bad shaking up, cuts and bruises. The car was badly' damaged. CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS EARNINGS The gross revenues of the all-in- clusive Canadian National Railways .
