Over twenty lodges took part in the "walk", the. procession being headed by the Haliburton Brass Band, at full strength. County Master Delbert Rogers, was in charge, and lodges were present from Cameron, Fenelon Falls, Kinmount, Burnt River, Lochlin, Gelert, Haliburton, Alsaw, West Guil- ford, Minden, Peterson's. Corners, Woodville, Kirkfield, Bolsover, Glen- arm and other centres. LINDSAY LODGES WALK AT PETERBORO AND ORILLIA. L.0.L. No. 32, L.O.L: No. 557, L.O. B.A. 366fi, and J.O.L.

See bills for program of sports, EE ii SHOULD PRUNE SHRUBS According to J. F. Clark, *horti- cultural fieldman, Agricultural So- cieties Branch, shrubs that bloom in spring shoyld be prunde after the flowering period. ~~ After flowering, growth takes place from the tips of last 'year's branches, but there is ysually a tendency for shoots to also start below the flowers. Severe prun- ing is not recommended, but simply a thinning out of the oldest wood. Lilacs bloom from the topmost buds and should be pruned after flowering so as to encourage growth of the in- dividual twigs by removing the older wood and the suchkers'at the base of the shrubs. The ,Japanese Barberry requires only to be, pruned so that the longest and most straggling branches do not cause the bushes to be unsightly. When branches become longer than required, cut them back, which will have the effect of making the small twigs start out below the cut. Forsythia (Golden Bells) need a yearly pruning to keep it within bounds and to preserve a natural but, not, a wild appearance. JRUETTIE NTO CENA IP. - PREVENTING PIG LOSSES One of the common causes of death among sucking pigs is nutritional anaemia. The critical period is be- tween two and four weeks of age. During this period and until weaning, the sucking pig: must have access to some source of iron in addition to the mother's milk. Professor Knox, O.A. C., states that one of the simplest means of prevention of loss is to place sods, one foot square in size, which have been treated with a solution of ferri¢ sulphate, in a small pen, oné sod | for each pig each week. This sulphate can be sprinkled on the sod with an ordinary watering can, and the strength of the solution should be one teaspoonful of ferric sulphate to one quart of water per sod. It is wise to. secure sods from areas wher pigs have not - requented for at least one year, in order to prevent possible parasitic infection. ------------ EPO ONTARIO FRUIT ACT Particulars of the Ontario Fruit Act., 1933, respecting the sale, con- signment and inspection of fruits and vegetables grown in Ontario have 'been 'announced. The provisions of the new bill and the regulations under which it is made egective are given by Mr. P. W. Hodgetts, Director Ontario Fruit Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, who has been made admin- istrator of the measure.

As there are already considerable fumes in the air from the blasting, no chance iy allowed for more to collect by a fire, such as might start in a pilé of rubbish, FEE There are only two holidays for those who work in the mines--three days at Christmas and at the First of July," Some people do not have even this time off but work 365 days in the year. This is true because most of the machinery takes so. much time to sfart, once started going it is kept going. We were told that it tgok a month to start the machinery in the rolling =mills and for that reason there are twp machines for every job, and' when one becdmes out of order the work is switched to the other. Another .note of interest is that every man when he comes from under- ground, must have a shower and re- main in the rays of a sun lamp long enough to absorb the equivalent of six hours "sunshine -- considerable more than some workers in the city obtain, The people of Timmins don't talk depression, it's only 'hearsay' to them, for the mines are" busy--some are taking on more men this summer. There are many beautiful homes in the town, and the roads (when we were there, at least) were in good condition. ; : After we 'did' the town we invited the family to go to Matheson and have a picnic supper~with us, but when we arrived and saw the chaos out of which we had to prepare a eal our spirits were very low. Everything had been damp when we hal trailer on the road, but before the tow truck had brought it into 'the garage the road was dry and dust poured i in through every available crack. 'It was one glorious mud pie from front to back. However, canned goods are proof against rain or dust and dishes can be washed, so we gathered up courage and-set to work. The tea, coffee, pickles, cake, tarts and doughnuts were well mixed with mud and plastered everything that had been left in the food cupboard. The eggs in the ice box coated the ginger] ale bottles, and had the bread and meat not been carefully wrapped in wax paper, we would have had a poor meal indeed. .As it was, when we placed the broad on the table the young hopeful of the family (a four year-old boy) non- chalantly placed his barefeet on it for a foot rest. I wish you could have seen the dazed and hurt expression on his face, when his mother corrected him. (We ate the bread.) « After seeing the condition of things in the trailer our friends (for they were friends indeed, although we had known them only a few hours) invited us to spend the night.in the apart- ment again, and we were not slow to accept, so once more We were able to sleep. = July 38rd--Breakfast. bs the lake, which we enjoyed thoroughly and at 1.00 we left for home. At 2.30 we arrived at Matheson, where we were busy with soap, rags and water until 4 p.m, then, the; trailer in fair condition we started! away again, leaving a goodly portion of our holiday money with the owner of the garage. Half an hour of driving and. the welding came apart, but by driving very slowly we managed to crawl into Ramore and had it' fixed to carry us to the next town, where there was acetylene welding. At Swastika we stopped and had supper while the welding was being 'done (as an aside I might say we were nearly eaten alive with black flies.) We were scarcely half a mile on the road when we discovered that the bar would not stand the strain so back we went. The mechanic heaved a mighty This time he welded and riveted a piece of spring steel into the bar, and his price was most reasonable, (very fortuhate: for us as we had just enough money left for gag and food), so, if ever you need any 'welding dono fvhen you are near 'Swastika go to the Northern We and Machine Shop, his work: 'can't be beat.) : We. finally got away about. 10. 30 in the evening and arrived at Englehart at, 12, we parked by the station ttor] } ids -l, IL the same reason that we had parked by, other stations.) : July dth--Evidently I'm a poor traveller or the others are heavy sleepers, at any rate they slept and I la didn't, We left at 65.456 and arrived at | Latehford at 8.830. (On the road we passed a team of mules.) "At Latch- ford we had breakfast and took some pictures. : In Timagami at 9. 16 and the drive through the forest passed: quickly and pleasantly. At Callandar we stopped for dinner and a swim. "ia Then the valve in the trailer tire began to leak and we had to buy a new one, but luck was not with us for we | had to stop frequently for air. About ten o'clock 'we began to think] of 'our beds and so, I suppose; we got careless; in any case, we were awak- ened (about & mile from home) by a noise which investigation proved to have been caused by the tire coming off the trailer. After searching for ten or fifteen minutes we came home on'the rim, and, believe me, once I got in. bed, tire troubles didn't worry ae at all; I never slept sounder. P. S.--We found the tire next day, Motal--Don't take a trailer. when you go north. The General Aspect of the County, From Gravenhurst, the road winds thaghgh rolling - hills, partly wooded partly open country. Here and there huge boulders push up through the soil, " At North-Bay we enter almost at once into the forest and. from there to Latchford I don't believe there is a level stretch of road. ly with spruce or balsam, scraggly looking trees, many of them, that ap- pear to have grown too close together. At the foot of nearly every hill "is a lake, some of them mere: ponds, others covering quite a large extent. Cobalt is the most rocky' and billy toyn I have ever seen. Haileybury is a lovely spot on Lake Timiskaming (or at least," what. we saw of it was lovely.) From New Liskeard we gradually arrived at the top of what appears to be a plateau, it is open 'country and one looks down to the horizon line. . At Ramore we pass down again into a wooded country, but the trees here haps for that reason, do not appear to be so tall as in the forest reserve. ~ From Ramore the road becomes hilly again and forests cover most of the land. There are a few farms, very small, and with poor" looking houses. .(The reason given us for these conditions .is that very few re- niain 'on the land during the winter, but spend that time of the year in the towns.) CR, Road Conditions Except for a' few miles of good gravel road from Derryville to Ather- ley, there is pavement to: Huntsville and beyond. From there (but for a mile or so of very bad road in Callandar) a splendid gravel road stretches to North Bay. From North Bay, through the forest to Cobalt, we encountered a great deal of 'wash board' surface but men were working on the road constantly and we found it in good condition on the trip home. i From North Bay to Timmins we passed innumerable grading machines working on the highway. There is a fine strip. of pavement from Cobalt to New Liskeard, about twenty miles. 3 From New Liskeard to Ramore the' roads were not in as good condition and did not appear to have hadwnich care. From Ramore 'to Timmins there" is an excellent gravel road, and we were told that the road to Cochrane was in good condition, Notes on Tourist Accommodation (We did not pay much attention to the accommodation' afforded tourists, | the following notes are gleaned from casual observation.) At Gravenhurst there is 'a motor camp, where platforms are provided for tents. Near Huntsville (I have forgotten whether it is north or south), there is a Shell Gas Station which has some cabins to rent, and at Callandar, we saw some nice looking cabins. Through the Timagami forest. re- serve there have been clearings made at convenient places for accommoda- tion of those who wish to stop for lunch, I suppose one might pitch a tent for 'the night if they wished. . At Timagami there -is. a' summer hotel, and I believe further 'accom-. modation could be found there, The same is true of a pleasant place a mile or 80 this side of Latchford, - From New Liskeard on" (with the be exception of Englehart) there is little or np ¢ evidence of. tourist accommoda- tion, = et (There are, of spurse hotels in the larger towns.) . : v ~ (CE v 1t is all heavily wooded, very large- | L are not so close to the road and, per-|: h SCUGOG.
