Wednesday, June 2, 1937 I THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Hard For Rest of Us SOFT BACON (Tttvistock GazetU') With strikes of fuctoiy hands, rcs- tauniDt waili'i's, store clerks, nurses, tAxi drivers and others too numerous to mention, wq sometimes wonder what all the sit-down, hiy-ilown, stand-U)), and wiilk-outers would do if the farmers ttwk it into thi'ir heads to sit down and cease production for about one year. For after all is said and done, no class of producer has more cause for a strike than the tiller of the soil. It is he who keeps the bread-basket of the nation filled. It is the farmer who supplies the milk for the butter and cheese. It is the farnier who supplies the prain for our bread and breal^ast cereals. He sells his cattle, hours and sheep for meat. He raises his crop, not knowing whether he is going: to receive the cost of production. He raises the pigs from shoats. the sheep from Iambs, the cattle from calves. When he takes them to market he gets just «9 little as the purchaser thinks he oan get away with, and if the price is below what it should be to afford the farmer a living profit, so much the better for the purchaser. In the face of this, does the farmer stop feed- ing cows, or sheep, or pigs? Does he stop growing grains ? Does he declare a strike? No, never! He plants more grain, fosters growth of more pigs, cattle and sheep than he did the year before, hopinjj that this year he will ba able to make up for the losses of last year. And so from year to year the farmer toils from dawn to dark, in an effort to amass sufficient material wealth to sustain himself and his wife in the years when their working days are over, and in the meantime to give his children a fair education. Who ever heard of a general farm- ers' strike? Wouldn't we all ."iit up and take notice if such a thinjj did come to pass 7 But why shouldn't the farmers strike when they are be- ing exploited to a greater extent than any other class of worker? It is apparent that there are too many people livinir off the profits created by the farmer, without giving ade- quate returns. Nevertheless it re- mains that the farmer holds the whip- hand over all of us. Should they or- ganize as has business firms across Canada and then stick together as <io these firms, it would be just too bad for all of us, including' the present sit- downers, stand-uppers, lay-downers and walk-outers. The further expansion of our bacon trade with Great Britain depends to a large extent upon (lualily improve- ment. Kecent advices from the Bri- tish market critcizcs our supplies on the score of underfinish in a large IHTcentng'e of bacon sides, a.s indic- ated by softness and flabbiness. Tliis soft flabby bacon is most likely the luoduct of underfinished hofifs, of svhich there are consideiablf numbers being marketed at yards and plants ill Canada at the present time. Tne remedy lies with the producer in hold- ing back unfinished hogs. In most cases, another week or so on feed would put on the finish so necessary for the making of firm bacon. All hogs of bacon and select weights should be properly fini.shed at their weights. Underfinish is as detrim- ental as OYerfinish, and in this case I is a very serious obstacle to efforts I being made to popularize Canadian ; bacon with the British consumer. I Every hog raiser is asked to co-oper- ate to the best of his ability. They say that all men are created equal yet wc keep reading in the papers about 10 ounce babies and others weighing 14 pounds. Business Man â€" Yes, I advertised for a boy about your size. Do you smoke ? Applicant â€" Nio thanks, but you can blow me to an ice cream soda, if you want to. Junior â€" Mother, dear, you said the baby has your eyes and daddy's nose, didn't you? Mother â€" Yes, darling. Junior â€" Well, you'd better watch him. he has grandpa's te<'th now. Dieting has caused a slump in the number of potatoes eaten through- out the world. A mix-up has developed in Inger- 80I1 over hitching posts. Evidently there was a hitch somewhere, erine makes the cake light and feathery after it is baked. '♦♦♦ » ♦♦♦«>! l < *♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦^ iROOFINGi BRANTFORD ; ASPHALT ROOFING i!

Kxport buyers for shipnu-nt to the Old Country were a very prominent factor in addiiifj strength to the mark- et. The cow trade was somewhat easier, while bulls sold well for ex- port. Choice heavy steers sold hig'ner, from $«.,')0 to $8.75, fair to good from $"â- 75 to $8.40. Choice butcher steers and heifers advanced to a top of 8 cents, with the bulk of the sales of good to choice cattle ranging from $7.25 to $7.75;. fair to good from $6.65 to $7.15, common $6.00 to $6.50.

Milch cows and springers very slow of sale, a few of the best springers from $45 to $60 each. Choice bulls brought from $4.75 to $5.00; bolognas from $3.75 to $4.25. Supplies of lambs were light, com- prising choice spring Iambs and buy- ers commenced buying them by the pound at 13 cents. Shippers are warned that only choice, well finished lambs are wanted, weighing from 65 pounds up. The sheep trade was very slow, choice light kind from $3.75 to $4.25, heavy sheep $3.00. The calf market opened slow and from quarter to half lower, choice calves from $8.25 to $8..50; fair to good $7.00 to $8,0fl(, common and medium $5.00 to $6.00. American markets were reported, which affected the local market. Hogs opened slow with buyers bid- ding much lower prices and final sales were made on Monday at from $8.00 to SO.I.T for truck deliveries. The prospects for the week depending en- tirely upon supplies and the outside trade. Local and Personal WANTED A PRESENT An illusionist performing in a northern town, put a woman into a box from which there was no appar- ent outlet, and shut the lid. When he opened it again there was nothing inside but a couple of rabbits. After the performance a Scotsman went to the illusionist and asked him if he could perform the same trick if his the (Scotsman's) wife were to get into the box. "It's no' that I want rid o' the wife," he explained, "but wee Wullie wants two rabbits for his birthday!'' The strike movement has hit Japan. •>iul if low waires offer a fertile field for such development there should be plenty of trouble. fTHE STORE WITH ^^ SERVICE * <'"A'^ STORES F. T.

In order to keep outside buyers interested, the sur- roundings in which the cattle are kept â- h->uld be attractive. One breeder who has had remarkable success in selling live stock, recently observed that next to the condition and quality of the animals for sale, the neatness and cleanliness around the barns were the most important factors in predis- posing a man to buy. They indicate the farmer's pride in his business and give the impression of prosperity. When a buyer finds a breeder inthua- iaatic over his breed and proud of the success which his hertl is bringing him, it is not difficult to sell the cat- tle which are before him.
