2 Show Place Sept Old Mac Dona had a farm He also had a boar who was known to quite a few lady pigs In the area Mac Donald sold services of his animal to anyone willing to bring their sows to his place for a lllfle piggy Angus found this part of the bargain most difficult Me didnt have a truck and usually had to walk his porkers about a half mile to the Mac Donald place On one such occasion he solicited my assistance The lady In question had found the shade of the orchard much to her liking on thaf hot summers day and particularly at the end of a pipe from whence water discharged from the kitchen sink It took a lot of gentle persuasion to get her carcass out of the and head her towards the farm gate Many times we almost succeeded In reaching the road but would Insist upon wheeling back towards Ihe orchard with Angus and I in pursuit It no use Angus she just doesn want to go I Angus was not a man to give up easily He was a thinker and he pondered on the problem until he finally came up with an Idea Ill fetch the cows he said The sow will always follow the cows well drive em down the road to Mac Don Ids and the pig will follow He was right So It was that two men about tan cows a cattle dog and one pig made a joint pilgrimage to the Mac Donald place Our journey took us through an avenue of maples which In places completely shadowed the sandy road At the top of the hill we could see our destination In the valley below A collection of broken down buildings on a terrain of thin grass and milkweed It was my appointed task to proceed ahead of this motley throng open Mac Dona Ids gate and guide the cows Into the farm laneway This tricky mission was accomplished according to plan Angus paused when the animals were safely on the Mac Dona Id property You stay hero until I comeback he commanded He did not see any point In bringing a third party Into such a delicate business transaction as breeding a sow I perched on the rail fence and prepared for a long wait Angus was a strange man I told myself I never pretended to admire his farm management capabilities Some of his actions like today for in stance were beyond realms of my com prehension He scratched a living from the Hungry Hundred when many would have surrendered to a pay package in some other far less arduous cupatton Angus was foolish perhaps but fighting against overwhelming odds was his motivation for living In the war to end all wars he like many other descendants of the pioneers had just the right attitude to take VI my Ridge Angus and his Canadian comrades found victory where other allied armies had been defeatedl My waiting was short lived The high pitched voice of Angus calling to his dog told me that my weary wanderers were returning I opened the gate and dutifully positioned myself to direct the cattle up the hill The sow somewhat frustrated I thought took up the rear of the procession By this time I had known Angus long enough to little use for small talk We walked behind the sow In silence The look on the face of Angus told me that he was suffering some em and I had no desire to make him suffer further It was obvious to me that our carefully planned mission had failed but why If was only when we turned into the of the Hungry Hundred that Angus offered to speak That Mac Dona Id sold his boar more a month ago so he did Grow all year with greenhouse by John Hughes Ontario Ministry at q Under Ontario conditions healing and cooling are two operations that often use problems for owners of hobby greenhouses The purpose of a green house Is to collect as much sunlight as possible to grow plants In doing this the air Inside the greenhouse heats considerably Adequate ventilation must be provided during the summer When you construct a building designed to collect light you also have a structure that loses a lot of heat at night Adequate heating must be provided during the winter Locate your greenhouse in an cast west orientation if passible with a southern exposure This will minimize effects of prevailing nor winds and of winter light would suggest using either cedar or aluminum bars for construction materials and cither glass or for a covering I like double layered acrylic material called SDP now available for commercial greenhouses In Ontario It can save per cent more heat than glass and Is also strong and durable to resist damage The SDP comes in sheets about feet wide and varying lengths to accommodate most situ Heating is most easily with an electric heater I like type with a fan to give circulation Most have a built in thermos tat Locate your heat source as closely to the ground as possible to get most distribution lie cautious of burners thai require fuels such as propane natural gas or oil With incomplete combustion of fossil fuels are released lhal can be oxlc to plants As a rule you require 1 square inch of fresh air for every s of heat This fresh air should be ducted to the burner Cooling is a problem for most hobby greenhouse growers With the small air volume and high glass ace area the greenhouse air will heat rapidly Year round cooling is required Effective cooling demands thermos controlled and or fans A manual system works only if someone is in or near greenhouses The cost of proper cooling equipment may seem expen considering other costs but Improper cooling causes most crop failures in hobby greenhouses cos Is may you from buying a hobby greenhouse To reduce energy costs start with a solidly insulated northern wall gable and Apply Insulation at least feet into the ground around Ihe perimeter side walls Locale your heal as closely to the ground as possible One of the most effective energy savers is the thermal curtain which is pulled inside the greenhouse each night over crop
