On Thursday, April 4th in emu- pany with James and Vitlin. Brandon and John Brown, I. motored to the town of Clinton, where the annual Spring Show of horses and cattle was bein • held. d. ,James Brandon was en- trusted with placing of the heavy horses and John Brown was selected to judge the ,beef cattle. • Quite a number, of farmers were working on, the land in Bosanquet, but when ve Passed into Ruto n, the num'b'ers became fewer. • The fall wheat in the vicinity of Forest looks 'healthier and stronger than that in Huron. The district of Huron through, which we passed, eastward from `The Bend' tei Exeter and. thence .northward to Clinton, is One to delight the eye of all lovers of fine -homes and fine farms and it is • difficult to realize that not more than a 100 years ago, this land was covered with dense forests. Three or four generations of in- dustrious energetic farmers and their wives have made -homes. here that are the equal of any to be found any- where, •and it is to be hoped that the future owners will prize them as they should. • • • ' -Clinton is a clean, prosperous look- ing town, with a population of some 2000 people, who take pride in their town and in the faimere, on whom their welfare depends, Huron County has 'long been 'fate- our for its fine horses, ,and Thurx. day's exhibit showed 'that it is still living up to its reputation. The qual- ity of many of the classes was on a par with the Provincial at Guelph, and their breeding showed that the Clydesdale still reigns supreme as the farm horse desired by most peo- ple of Huron county, • ,. The three breeds of beef cattle were on exhibit, with the Shorthorns leading in numbers and quality. Evi- dently Herefords and Aberdeen An- gus are not so numerous or of as good quality as those in Lanibton. The judging of both ,horses and cattle is done on one of the main business streets or rather in a tri- angular ri- the converg- ingn •alar space 'form.e a g p d by g ing of two streets, which hers are side by side. As the streets are pav- ed it can easily be understood, that the horses are not shown to the best advantage. • There is no admittance charge to this show, and the prizes which are numerous and liberal, are I believe financed by the business men of the town together with township and gov- ernment giants. I am writing this in the hope. it will be the means of . inducing our horse and cattle breeders to take more interest m exhibiting ihetr, stoek, and that in the year 1936 many of our farmers will attend one of these Northern shows to see, what other farmers are doing. This account of a day's outing would not be cmnplete without men- tioning that : on our homeward way and almost within sight of Forest, the car plunged into a ditch. Luckily the occupants were not seriously In- jured, hut the car suffered consider, able damage. -Dunean Whyte. Forest, April 5, 1935. .

Question uestiFor Naturalists o Ntoahst s The woes •of the telegraph linemen are never over. ;Something is hap- pening all the time. The latest cause for wire trouble has been announced from a point on the Canadian Nation- al Railways' right of way about 20 miles north of Washago, on the main trans -continental line.of the Nation- al System. The report received by the despatcher: of the Canadian Na- tional Telegraphs was a .short one. It read; "Two juvenile huntsmen chas- ed a beaver, an the C,N.R., sight of way about 20 miles north of Wash - ago( which climbed ,a tree. The only way this-et'the beaver was to cut the tree dotyn;s, . The lads did so. It fell across the wires and crossed thein until linemen, reached the spot to ef- fect a eleaiiance." It, was a short no. rice of trouble but it started a big argument, Naturalists claimed that a beaver is incapable .of climbing a tree, unless the tree it •on as decided slant, or has plenty of .low limbs up Which it could scramble. In any 'ev- ent, if the beaver could get up the tree, an agile hey, os man, could alse. do so, without trouble. Therefore, Why hother.to,;,cut down the ,tree ? lIut`the .linemee ;who were on the spot claim that they investigated the re- ltort and found it correct;, The main Ouestion is, "Are beavers in Northern nsaiio developing kangaroo habits:?" IIRUCEFIELD The people of Br•ucefield and vi- cinity enjoyed a rare treat over the .week -end on the occasion of the visit of the Rev. P. Bruce Thornton, D:D. to the ,Rey. United Church; un- der the auspices of the Board of Managers.' De. Thornton, a college friend of ithe minister, the Rev. W. A, Beeth: her; was for seventeen years' pastor of St. Paul's United Church, Winni- peg. He ,resigned his charge four " Years ago to' make ttossi le p b for hint to take an extended trip around the World: This tour occupied three years during which time almost ev- ery country in the world vias "visited. Dr. Thornton's wonderfnl powers of observation stood him in good stead and his equally great powers of description made his lecture on the Mnnday evening one of the very best, full 03 information and of great educational value. The speaker adopted three methods by which he captivated his audience —Nord pictures, moving pictures and some of the most beautiful col- ored lantern slides. For a period 01 nearly three hours there was not one dull moment, as the audience was taken on a person- ally conducted tour from country to country, visiting in turn Egypt, Ja- ,pan, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, the battle • fields of France and the hub of the Empire in old London, Dr.. Thornton also preached on Sunday to large congregations. The evening service was specially dedi- cated to the Young People, a large number • of whom were. present, not only from Brucefleld but also from E!gmondville and Kippen, whose min- isters withdrew their services that !their people might hear Dv. Thorn- ton. I The subjects for Sunday were ex- ceedingly well chosen, At the morn- ing service the theme was . "The Prayer Life of the different Peoples of the World," and in the evening "A Visit to Nazareth with the'Boy Jesus as Guide." .Should this speaker ever find it possible to again visit Brueefield he may rest assured that a most core- dial or-dial welcome awaits him from both old and. young. • Mrs. C.

In the case of Charlie Chamberlain, the "Singing Lumberjack," who has been heard over the Canadian Radio Com- mission's network from •Saint John, N.B., it was while • holding an im- promptu "recital" en a C'anadian,Na- tional Railways' train, while travell- ing from Bathurst, in the same pro- vince, to Saint John. `Another pas- senger on the sante train heard the voice and, being impressed, made his way into tate passenger coach from whence the vocal sounds were pro- ceeding. On entering, he saw the "vocalist" with a group of other pas, sengers gathered round hint. Realiz ing the voice he heard had possibilit- jet, the passenger gave the singer his card, with the result that the for- mer lumberjack is now singing before the microphone. Previous to this he could not read a note of music. Re is 22 years of age, a trifle under six feet, and weighs 174 pounds. And by the way, 'he is a real lumberjack. A little over a month ago he was lod- ging in the woods around the Lower Nepisiguit River, in New Brunswick. At present he sings ballads and shan- ty songs, but his teacher says he has great possibilities. FAST GROWING CHIC BRING QUICKER RETURNS BUY chicks that put on weight fast.

And they kept right on growing through the Suntm:er months and made pro- fitable early laying rflocks. Take thel f odf of Bray pullets raised ,by, Wni, Kirkpatrick at Burgessville last year. lie had pullets weighing up to 6 lbs. 10 ounces at 6 months old -and they were giving hint a 75% egg yield at that age. • The success of: Bray chicks is a direct result of the careful saw, - breeders are chosen far their an-' tion of our br•eedirig stock.

We don't, claim that every Beau flock wilil be laying 75% at 6 months, But it is not out of the way to say that most flocks of "X;xtra-Profit" pullets begin lay- ing at 5 months' old, and many of them are laying 50% or better 'at 6 months old,„ Stop in and get a copy of our what, 'Bray ' "Xtra -Profit" chicks' can bring you in dollars and cents Next Fall.

On Thursday, April 4th in emu- pany with James and Vitlin. Brandon and John Brown, I. motored to the town of Clinton, where the annual Spring Show of horses and cattle was bein • held. d. ,James Brandon was en- trusted with placing of the heavy horses and John Brown was selected to judge the ,beef cattle. • Quite a number, of farmers were working on, the land in Bosanquet, but when ve Passed into Ruto n, the num'b'ers became fewer. • The fall wheat in the vicinity of Forest looks 'healthier and stronger than that in Huron. The district of Huron through, which we passed, eastward from `The Bend' tei Exeter and. thence .northward to Clinton, is One to delight the eye of all lovers of fine -homes and fine farms and it is • difficult to realize that not more than a 100 years ago, this land was covered with dense forests. Three or four generations of in- dustrious energetic farmers and their wives have made -homes. here that are the equal of any to be found any- where, •and it is to be hoped that the future owners will prize them as they should. • • • ' -Clinton is a clean, prosperous look- ing town, with a population of some 2000 people, who take pride in their town and in the faimere, on whom their welfare depends, Huron County has 'long been 'fate- our for its fine horses, ,and Thurx. day's exhibit showed 'that it is still living up to its reputation. The qual- ity of many of the classes was on a par with the Provincial at Guelph, and their breeding showed that the Clydesdale still reigns supreme as the farm horse desired by most peo- ple of Huron county, • ,. The three breeds of beef cattle were on exhibit, with the Shorthorns leading in numbers and quality. Evi- dently Herefords and Aberdeen An- gus are not so numerous or of as good quality as those in Lanibton. The judging of both ,horses and cattle is done on one of the main business streets or rather in a tri- angular ri- the converg- ingn •alar space 'form.e a g p d by g ing of two streets, which hers are side by side. As the streets are pav- ed it can easily be understood, that the horses are not shown to the best advantage. • There is no admittance charge to this show, and the prizes which are numerous and liberal, are I believe financed by the business men of the town together with township and gov- ernment giants. I am writing this in the hope. it will be the means of . inducing our horse and cattle breeders to take more interest m exhibiting ihetr, stoek, and that in the year 1936 many of our farmers will attend one of these Northern shows to see, what other farmers are doing. This account of a day's outing would not be cmnplete without men- tioning that : on our homeward way and almost within sight of Forest, the car plunged into a ditch. Luckily the occupants were not seriously In- jured, hut the car suffered consider, able damage. -Dunean Whyte. Forest, April 5, 1935. .

Question uestiFor Naturalists o Ntoahst s The woes •of the telegraph linemen are never over. ;Something is hap- pening all the time. The latest cause for wire trouble has been announced from a point on the Canadian Nation- al Railways' right of way about 20 miles north of Washago, on the main trans -continental line.of the Nation- al System. The report received by the despatcher: of the Canadian Na- tional Telegraphs was a .short one. It read; "Two juvenile huntsmen chas- ed a beaver, an the C,N.R., sight of way about 20 miles north of Wash - ago( which climbed ,a tree. The only way this-et'the beaver was to cut the tree dotyn;s, . The lads did so. It fell across the wires and crossed thein until linemen, reached the spot to ef- fect a eleaiiance." It, was a short no. rice of trouble but it started a big argument, Naturalists claimed that a beaver is incapable .of climbing a tree, unless the tree it •on as decided slant, or has plenty of .low limbs up Which it could scramble. In any 'ev- ent, if the beaver could get up the tree, an agile hey, os man, could alse. do so, without trouble. Therefore, Why hother.to,;,cut down the ,tree ? lIut`the .linemee ;who were on the spot claim that they investigated the re- ltort and found it correct;, The main Ouestion is, "Are beavers in Northern nsaiio developing kangaroo habits:?" IIRUCEFIELD The people of Br•ucefield and vi- cinity enjoyed a rare treat over the .week -end on the occasion of the visit of the Rev. P. Bruce Thornton, D:D. to the ,Rey. United Church; un- der the auspices of the Board of Managers.' De. Thornton, a college friend of ithe minister, the Rev. W. A, Beeth: her; was for seventeen years' pastor of St. Paul's United Church, Winni- peg. He ,resigned his charge four " Years ago to' make ttossi le p b for hint to take an extended trip around the World: This tour occupied three years during which time almost ev- ery country in the world vias "visited. Dr. Thornton's wonderfnl powers of observation stood him in good stead and his equally great powers of description made his lecture on the Mnnday evening one of the very best, full 03 information and of great educational value. The speaker adopted three methods by which he captivated his audience —Nord pictures, moving pictures and some of the most beautiful col- ored lantern slides. For a period 01 nearly three hours there was not one dull moment, as the audience was taken on a person- ally conducted tour from country to country, visiting in turn Egypt, Ja- ,pan, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, the battle • fields of France and the hub of the Empire in old London, Dr.. Thornton also preached on Sunday to large congregations. The evening service was specially dedi- cated to the Young People, a large number • of whom were. present, not only from Brucefleld but also from E!gmondville and Kippen, whose min- isters withdrew their services that !their people might hear Dv. Thorn- ton. I The subjects for Sunday were ex- ceedingly well chosen, At the morn- ing service the theme was . "The Prayer Life of the different Peoples of the World," and in the evening "A Visit to Nazareth with the'Boy Jesus as Guide." .Should this speaker ever find it possible to again visit Brueefield he may rest assured that a most core- dial or-dial welcome awaits him from both old and. young. • Mrs. C.

In the case of Charlie Chamberlain, the "Singing Lumberjack," who has been heard over the Canadian Radio Com- mission's network from •Saint John, N.B., it was while • holding an im- promptu "recital" en a C'anadian,Na- tional Railways' train, while travell- ing from Bathurst, in the same pro- vince, to Saint John. `Another pas- senger on the sante train heard the voice and, being impressed, made his way into tate passenger coach from whence the vocal sounds were pro- ceeding. On entering, he saw the "vocalist" with a group of other pas, sengers gathered round hint. Realiz ing the voice he heard had possibilit- jet, the passenger gave the singer his card, with the result that the for- mer lumberjack is now singing before the microphone. Previous to this he could not read a note of music. Re is 22 years of age, a trifle under six feet, and weighs 174 pounds. And by the way, 'he is a real lumberjack. A little over a month ago he was lod- ging in the woods around the Lower Nepisiguit River, in New Brunswick. At present he sings ballads and shan- ty songs, but his teacher says he has great possibilities. FAST GROWING CHIC BRING QUICKER RETURNS BUY chicks that put on weight fast.
