away over my space oh the first subject and all the others will haye to bo short every week the changes among the older people and the passing on of a generation who a few years ago where communities leaders reminds me that time marches on last week mrs john i cameron and tom chlsholm and bill swackhamer were among the host that have passed on thats another of the subjects i was going to touch on but will have wlet bide a wee i wanted to add my word of praise for the work that was done in the com- munltaibee at the old pioneers ceme tery didnt have any hand in the effort as that had to be done by younger chaps but mary and i were delighted with the change made i do hope all this work will not be lost and some way may be secured to keep this spot real respectable but the start is cer tainly

will allget it too first off i want to tell those chaps who had the running of the acton fair in their hands how much i enjoyed the event j met a great lot of folks that i knew and it seemed to me the crowd was bigger than ever this year i dont know when ive seen so mueh fine stock put on exhibition at a rural fair looked to me as if the sheep were a trifle light but that seemed the only part that wasnu away up in exhibits i put in a lot of time on the grand stand and it seemed as if i could hardly afford to move away without missing something the midway dont have the attraction for me that it used to hold in the younger days when it was more limited butlooked a lot bigger i just feel that i ought to go back to say 1882 and 1883 and give you some facts about the fairs of half a century ago it used to be esquesing agricultural society in those days and the affair was held alternately in acton and georgetown in 1882 it was held in georgetown and it is said the attendance was smaller than had been known tn years and it is recorded that the show was inferior to forme years and taken altogether it canmstbe counted a suc cess this was accounted for by the fact that the brampton show was held on the same day among the prizes cqmlng to acton were james matthews first prize for carriage team abram stauffer first prize for twoyearold stallion mr a waldie secured a large number of sheep prlezs the fair that year was held on october- 6 in 1883 the township fair was held in acton on wednesday october 3 apd of this event it is recorded that it will long be remembered as far surpassing any show of the society up to this date the crowd was estimated at over 3000 and there were over 1000 entries the exhibit of horses numbered 200 and there were 80 entries in butter there used to be some real butter makers in those days before the c uf the creameries lo take this duty from the farmers wives the inside exhibits were then displayed in a large tent and on this occasion it proved entirely inadequate for the show ing now lets take a peek at the prize list and we see such names as early bros john agnew a h owen r w roid w hampshire klnnalrd bros a devereaux m howsen james matthews- and a hest of others among the ex hibitors of fine horses there were only two classes in cattle then thoroughbreds and grades and the pigs were of two types large breed and small breed there used to be prizes then for homemade cheese and hop yeast bread and salt yeast bread the har- tissmaker blacksmith and shoemaker were encouraged and prizes awarded for their products and also prizes for upper and i had intended saying something about that veteran fall fair man jim aklns who i notice this year was not secretary but he was very active around t3ie grounds but hes too big a subject to start on when my space is nearly all used up and ill leave that subject for for some other time but i was sure delightedto see that th fair boa had nottettilntgetf outof harness ven if- he teas- relieved of the heavy duties of secretary thereweretwo or three other subjects i wanted to touch upon but well have to leave them for now sheop fit admirably into a mixed farm ing scheme in many localities and if the breeding ewes are given proper treat ment sheep will usually prove one of the most profitable branches of live stock during the fall preparations arc made for the next lamb crop at this time ewes with poor teeth and all ewes which are poor mothers should be weeded out hs old ewes should be replaced with lambs from the best ewes especially those which consistently rear twins it isusuallyadvlsableto breed trie ewes as shearlings the first time rather than as lambs at the dominion experimental station fredericton n b the lambs are weaned in august and the ewes are carried on rather poor pasture until milk secretion has entirely ceased three weeks before the ram is put with the ewes or about october 10 it is advisable to flush the ewes by givinfjthemaoeess to good clover aftermath or rape in order to bring the ewes to proper condition it is sometimes necessary to supplement the pasture with onehalf pound of meal per head per day this flushing will shorten the lambing period and insure a larger per centage of twins winter quarters need not be warm but should be dry and free from draughts during the winter feed the ewes all the good clover hay they will clean up and two or three pounds of turnips per ewe ewes in good condition do not require grain until two or three weeks before lambing when it is advisable to start feeding grain so that they will have a good milk flow a mixture composed of 3 parts crushed oats 1 part bran and 1 part linseed meal will give excelle it results feed onehalf to one pound per ewegraduall inc grain ration to one and onehalf to two pounds per ewe provision should be made fo regular exercise during the winter months success with the flock riuires careful attention by the attendant at all times proper precautions

should a cut or contuakmyor sprain be sustained hothlngcould be better as a dressing or lotion some merchants compared to lovers kissing in the dark perhaps the greatest competition with which the local merchant has to contend is that which emanates from the tor onto mall order houses and departmental stores some local merchants willingly admit that they cannot understand why people will insist on buying from these sources when in the majority of cases they can buy as cheaply at home we are willing to wager that the major reason for this buying from outside the community is the fact that people do not know that they can buy as cheaply as they buy from the departmental store and the mall order house right here in their own town that may seem too easy an answer for a problem that has baffled the small town merchant for so long but i is triie what is the explanation it is just this the mail order house issues several times duringthe- course of each year- oatalogues explaining what they have to sell and the price at which it is sold these are distributed to half a million homes in the province with the result that the people know with what the mail order house is stocked and the price of every article then the departmental stores through their page advtsin the city dajlies tellwhaws ofspeciallnterest at the moment they invite you through these daily messages to shop there and in many oases provide special telephone lines to handle your orders it stands to reason that the local mer chant may have his store stocked to the very ceiling with seasonable and good quality goods at prices that defy even mail order competition but how is the prospective customer to know about it modern business is not of an enquiring nature the buyer wants to be told about the merchandise not have to re quest the information he needs until bowmanville merchants realize that they have got to tell through the medium of advertising what they are stocking and the prices at which they are retailing they cannot expect the local buyer to- give up for ever the unsatisfactory habit

once forgotten civil izations have been rediscovered and many a long lost secret has been stored to mankind by these adventurers and now with the earth a solved riddle men of science and men with adventurous natures are seeking to open a still wider vista in their researches and explorations for with the aid of modern science and invention they hope to construct stratospheric craft that can travel from this planet to others far re mote interplanetary travel the stupen- dousness of this project can scarce be realized the moon our own satellite and the nearest celestial body to us is 166

say thosavants thau man must confine himself to the speeds he makes under atmospheric conditions when he is travel ling in interplanetary space it is quite comprehensible that all power of gravity

young lbters kissing in the dark they know all about wheats going on but no body else docs and one other thing remains to bring about this era of home town buying and that is for merchants themselves to do the very thing that they expect their customers to do buy in bowmanville a local merchant recently told us that he does not believe that there is a merchant in the town who is not an offender in this practice the merchants must satisfy themselves that they can secure their own wants in bowmanville before they try to satisfy the people of the district that they also may secure their needi
