-,grew • Style Barns?
Farm barns are something that we
all take for granted. If the barn
iooks reasonably neat and tidy and
has received a coat of paint recently
we agree ' that the owner must be a
progressive and thrifty farmer.
But that isn't the way the Farm
Quarterly, an American publication;
i looks at farm barns. In the opinion
of that periodical, a barn to be prac-
tical must be functional and the cost
of its construction and maintenance
must bear a positive relationship to
the amount that the farmer can af-
ford to pay for the housing of stock
it will contain. Referring to the
barn of the type as we know it in this
district as "Mows or Mausoleums,"
the Quarterly says: "Barns of this
type are monuments to the ego. The
landowners:nwa,nted the tallest . and
biggest buil(`,*, on the horizon;. con-
venience and befulness were secon-
dary."
Pointing out that "farmers rarely
count their time in. terms of dollars,
they often overlook the cost of oper-
ation of a building," the Quarterly
suggests the manner in which hay is
generally stored is time-consuming
and wasteful. "Why not store it on
the ground where the stock can help
themselves? If that had been done
and movable stanchions used, most
of the time consumed in feeding
would have been saved."
"Getting 'the manure out of the
barn and into the proper field is an-
- othercost in the use of a barn," it
goes on to say, "many of the old
barns have such low ceilings that it
is impossible to get a manure spread -
ed into them. The manure has to be -
handled with a pitchfork. Often it
tobe carried several steps to get
it into the spreader. That is expen-
sive work."
"Often barns are so constructed
that the manure must be 'frequently
or daily thrown outside. In that
case, most of the nitrogen and potas-
sium are lost. If it is taken to the
field in winter or spring, it must, be-
cause of soft fields, be put in the
fields nearest the barn. If it is mov-
ed in the summer or fall it cannot be
put onthe proper fields because crops
are on those fields. The farm is not
• properly fertilized. The barn has be-
conle a•fertility thief. The extent of
their loss will be appreciated when
it is remembered that an animal unit
(one horse, one cow, seven sheep,
1404 pounds of hogs) produces in a
year in the -form of manure, fertility
which would cost $15.00 if purchased
' in a fertilizer bag. This does not
take into account the humus in the
manui'eeon which no one can place a
proper value. The, average 160 -acre
farm can easily support a hundred
animal units. The manure they pro-
duce at $1500 is four and one-half
per cent interest on $33,333.00."
The answer, the Quarterly main-
tains, is the adoption of the "pole
type" barn -a single story low-cost
structure, with feed storage at
gtouni' level. It, will be interesting
to see to .what extent the trend to-
ward "f1iti:etiOnal" type barns, which
the Quarterly- suggests, is apparent
2 i oss the: line, is maintained here.
Certainly as long" as • existing build-
ings continue to serVe" their purpose

has
any rights at all in the home. ,.
The trend h.as gone a Step further a
now since somehody has dreamed of
a way to influence the man of the
house, even as he. sleeps. According
to a news story, psychologists believe
you can learn while. you sleep. They.
suggest that a small speaker on your
pillow can grind out lessons while
you're snoozing. And what is worse,
° they claim you will heed the lessons
learned subconsciously, even though
had you been awake you would have
thought of them as rubbish.
Richard C. Darnell, who 'sells tape
recorders which he hopes people will
buy to use in their night homework,
told reporters: "It's amazing what
you can do with suggestions to a
sleeping person."
"A wife was eager to get her hus-
band so he'd eat salads. So every
night while he was asleep she kept
telling him how good salads were.
"Well, about three weeks later, her
husband said he thought he'd try a
salad. He's been eating them ever
since."
If a wife would go to these lengths
for a salad, there is no telling where
the thing might end. If the salad
promotion works she will soon dream
up other campaigns. The thing will
spread. Other wives will hear of it
and first thing we know there will be
no resistance left in the poor male.
The idea undoubtedly will become
commercialized, and wives will be
able to buy phonograph records cov-
ering almost any subject, which will
coo at their husbands at night, urg-
ing (a) better attendance at concerts
and meetings, (b) a more generous
attitude toward washing dishes, and
(c) more money for the missus.

Need Of the 'Fifties
(From the London .Economist).
What the fifties need, as the for-
ties did, is a clear sight of the goal
and a confident determination to
achieve it. They need Assurance of
Victory, to quote the title of an of-
ficial pamphlet of just ten years ago
—which proved in the end to be
right, and for the right basic reasons
too. Now, as then, the human and
material resources exist in plenty.
The free 'society has no reason to
despair; ithas immense reserves and
commands deep and fierce loyalties.
Now, as then, what is needed to fuse
these resources into weapons of
achievement is the moral magic of
leadership, offering courage and call-
ing for devotion and confidence.

Farmer's Friend
(The Hanover Post)
A flicker's crop has been found to
contain "1,000 chinohbugs at a time.
A nighthawk may catch 500 mosqui-
toes for a single Meal. Between dawn
and dusk, a wren feeds its young as
many as 1,200 times. In many cases,
the insects, upon which the birds feed
so greedily are the worst plant en-
emies. Only a few years ago, some
farmers looked upon all birds as
nuisances because several kinds oc-
casionally stole grain or nipped the
cherries or black berries. But today,
enlightened by the findings of na-
turalists and agricultural scientists,
there is a truer appreciation of the
part the birds play in the field and
orchard.

Fishing Made Easy
(The Financial Post, Toronto)
A trigger -equipped fishing rod is
being offered American "sportsmen"
that Canadian game authorities
might well investigate. This is de-
signed to shoot the lure (or an ar-
row or harpoon if the first named
fails) wherever the owner desires.
Instead of learning properly the art
of casting, this puts any beginner
automatically in the expert class and
presumably allows one to clean out a
stream or pond in short order.
Contrivances of this sort would
make the game fisherman a profes-
sional killer. If we are going to al-
low . that, then we might 'better for-
get all about sportsmanship. We
should herd all game, deer, moose,
partridge and -duck as well as trout
and bass, through regular abattoirs•
where they could be efpciently and
humanely slaughtered. -

could get to the bird, and !flung
some corn on the 4 rusted snow -
Then I hastily retired. Watch'ng
from the window, I presently saw
the poor bird cautiously approach
the corn, snatch a kernel, then
scoot away a little distance. Later
1 took out some more corn, rattled
t in the dish, and scattered -cite.

'ed regularly, and in a few days 1
would see it 'lurking among the
raspberry bushes. I would go out
and call as you would call the
chickens to feed, and it Wrould

You can make wild birds tame
and friendly with feed and kind-
ness. They quickly learn who are
their friends and who are not. I
have a regular bird sanctuary of
my own, in which I feed hosts of
sparrows, blue jays, cardinals,
starlings, woodpeckers (the latter
quite tame). • And the sparrow, of
which there are many varieties, is
a most valuable bird to garden-
ers and farmers, for I have watch-
ed them in my garden in the sum-
mer, going along the rows of cab-
bage, picking off the cabbage
worms, and picking the young tent
caterpillar worms off the leaves of
the trees. I also provide the birds
drinking water, especially in the
winter when creeks, s,treams and
water troughs are frozen. And
birds are great water drinkers.
The first thing in the- morning
they want a drink before they eat.
I have known some men like .that!
How many remember the old
Egmonriville dam, the waters of
which ran the big water wheel at
Charlesworth's flour mill? It Was
forbidden 'ground (or water) to we
youngsters, but just the same I
learned to swim there, and in the
deep mill race. I remember see-
ing a 'fine young Tuckersmith man,
a Seaforth High School student,
fished out of the dam with a grap-
pling iron. Horrified crowds stood
on the banks as bhe search went
on. I don't know whether they
knew about artificial respiration in
those days, but they did every-
thing they anew to resuscitate the
young man, without avail. After
that unfortunate occurrence, we
Mill Road boys had to confine our
swimming activities to the swim-
ming 'hole under Campbell's Bridge
over the Bayfield River. It was a
lovely spot, with clear water and.
a sand bottom. I reckon it's about
as dried up as myself, by • now. One
day a town' ,boy happened along.
He fished from the bridge and
caught a fine big sucker. I bought
it from him for five cents—which
I didn't have. I said I'd pay him
next day when he came to fish. I
owe him that nickel yet. I never
saw him again. And the folks at
home thought I had caught that
fish. and were real proud of me.
Oh,' well, there were an awful lot
of bones in that fish, anyway.
But the strings of lovely shiners
and other small fish we used to
catch there, fried crisp and brown,
were something to ,dream of in
these days when nice fresh fish

Then, this being the beginning of
the age of progress, these papee
collars went into 'the discard, and
celluloid collars took their place
They were sometimes known as
"rubber collars." Their advantage
was that when they got soiled you
just took them off, wiped them
with a wet rag—and there they
were, white and glistening as good
as new. Being very inflammable,
sometimes a . Man would set his
collar in a quick blaze while light-
ing his pipe. Undoubtedly, that
was when 'he got it in the neck,
and a badly scorched, neck, tbo,
sometimes.
But, speaking of the Charles-
worth flour mills a while back,
there may be sonle who remember
the two big, handsome black New-
foundland clogs the mill had. The
dogs were harnessed together,
hitched to a sturdy sleigh and us-
ed to dash along, tails waving,
hauling barrels of flour, or what
not, on the sleigh. They were the
pride and delight of we school
kids.
And along the same side street,
perhaps you remember Collins'
grocery store? It was the noon-
time mecca of we Mill Road chil-
dren, especially as it was closer to
the school than Jackson's general
store and post office. To kindly
old Mr. Collins we carried our
precious "coppers" of a more gen-
erous size than the shrivelled -up
little one -cent pieces of today. Mr.
Collins always had those old-time
vanished delicacies we called
"buliseyes." By careful, judicious
sucking, a fellow could make one
last all da3-. You'd go in to +Mr.
Collins, copper firmly • gripped in
your hand, and point at this or
that candy: "How much?"
And Mr, Collins would patiently
reply: "They're cents apiece, or
penny for two; haud .00t yer hauns,
I canna gie bags!"
And we didn't want bags, any-
way. The candy was for immed-
ate consumption.
Another outstanding feature of
those days was the copper -toed
long boots', with a square of red
or blue at the top. Proud was the
lad who got a pair! But, oh! the
agony they sometimes caused!
Taken off after supper, they would
be wet with trudging through
snow or slush all day: They would
.be dried in the oven of the kit-
chen stove. When dried they were
thoroughly greased with hot tal-
low, to make them flexible enough
to get on in the morning. And
even so, the time I spent, with
my foot half into the partially
dried instep, stuck there, while I
kicked and whanged those copper
toes against the kitchen door post:
It's a wonder I never kicked the
frame out. Here it was time to
start on the mile and a quarter
tramp to school, •and the boot
wouldn't go on. No wonder I'd
get desperate and kick like a two-
year-old in a box stall, making the
splinters fly off the hemlock stud-
ding of the door post. Once I
missed the doorpost as "I gave a

Hints For the Lambing Season
Now that lambing is close at
hand it is time to prepare for this
busy season. Any preparations that
cart be made ahead will reduce the
work at lambing and give the flock
owner more time to attend to the
ewes and new-born lambs.
Perhaps the most important task
in preparation it to see that the
ewes are in good condition, and
able to take care of their lambs,
says P. I. ' Myhr, Experimental
Station, Swift 'Current, Sask. Feed-
ing each ewe a pound of oats per
day for a month before lambing
will ensure that they are strong
and vigorous. It will help to in-
crease the milk flow and thereby
give the lambs a good start.
"Crutching" the ewes which
must be done with especial care
if they are heaty in lamb, and
trimtning the wool off the udder
before lambing, will save much
time later on. When the udder is
free of wool locks, the lambs are
able to get their first suck early,
without interference. Crutcleng
will - eliminate . dirty wtoi, which
sometimes causes trouble and
which later must be taken off the
fleece at shearing time.
It is well, at this time, to check
over the lambing supplies. Are
the claiming pens in good .^ondi-
tion, and are there enough of
them? Are the bottles and nipples
available for taking care of the
orphan lambs? Are the feed sup-
plies convenient to the lambing
shed • for the stormy or cold days
when feeding will be necessary?
.Attending to such matters before
-lambing begins will certainly be a
time ,saver during the busy lamb-
ing season. It will pay off lir' a
higher percentage of lambs paved
and in a stronger, more vigorous

regarded as complementary to
good cultural practices and the use
of pure seed. Some weeds will get
into a growing crop under almost
all normal field conditions, but
there will obviously be fewer of
them if they are planted along
with the original crop seed. Plant-
ing pureseed is alwaYe'" worth
while.
The competition that weeds offer
is easily ill'tistrated. The quantity
of water required to produce one
pound of lamb's quarters in dried
form is 801 pounds; to produce
the same quantity of oats it is
597 pounds. - Thus the demand
made by lamb's quarters on the
soil moisture is considerably great-
er than by oats. Many weeds re-
quire and use more than'doubie as
much nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, as a well developed oat
plant. In addition to increasing
the costes labor and equipment
while growing the crop, weeds
increase the cost of processing the
crop for either animal or human
consumption.
Using pure seed is just as good
an investment as building up a
good dairy herd, for once a field
has become infested with such
weeds as field bindweed or wild
morning glor'g, bladder tampion,
white cockle and many others,
these seeds may reoccur for many
years despite the use of weed
killers and additional cultivation
designed to control therm.
It is false -economy to use low
grade seed, for the additional
expense of fighting more weeds
will soon offset any original sav-
ing.
