The meeting was in ~7/~ - 4 s\v * e e ABOUT 1820 a mower vas invented with a circular cutting blade which revalved against the grain, apparendy imitating te action of the aid scythe blade. A few yeanm later a mower wam invented in te United States whicli had a sharp kalfe with teeecb maving sideways in a row of iron fingers or guards. The first mower of this type ta be made in Canada was pro- duced in 1852 at the Massey warks, te little plant which has grava inta the Massey-Harris induutry of today. And al through its 100-year history this campaay bas been a leader in developing labor-saviag farm devices. The use of modemn Massey-Harris fanm machine. has brought many benefits to Canadian fammers. The Massey-Harris Side Rake and Tedder turas te. ay into light, fluffy windrows, so the air can cure it quickly.

A modial time' was en.jayed together. Local Sheep Bred.ri Take Prominent Part in Agriculture (Held avei last week) Pedigreed sheep were one ai the first branches ai bivestock ta en- ter the farming stary ai Durhami county. They supplied wool and. mutton for carly settiers and bat- er on entered into the commercial picture which is stili maintained by sevaral local farmers. The need for strang, warm clothing for pioneers was supplied b>' growing fi acks ai sheep right at home. And anc af the first mils cstablished was the carding miii Iocated on the creek midway between Ennis- killen and Hampton. It thrivcd until manufacturing in larger cen- tres and imports of cloth put it out af business mare than 60 ycars ago. As with other branches ai live- stock a' number ai farmers toak pride in »introducing registcred breeds and in fitting shecp for show rings at fail fairs. Leader in the Shropshire breed was Levi Skinner, Tyrone. We regret ta report his death at age 90 as this story is being written. But his tradition is çprried on by his son Harold. The late Tom Baker, Sa- lina. was a leading competitor with Mr. Skinner at Bowmanvîlle Fair. But a littie later two other fam- ilies have really made local his- tory in the sheep industry. Ali Ayre and Sons, Hampton, are known clear acrots Canqda as breeders ai prize winncrs at most ai the important fairs. Likcwise the Glaspelîs ai Taunton and Tyr- anc have become top winners in the shcep industry. These fiocks have won more ribbons and cham- pionships in recent years than ail others cambined since the coun- try was first apened Up. If is impossible in a short ar- ticle ta do justice ta the shecp breeding in Durham caunty. Al we have attempted is a bni out- line ai the develapment ai the industry tram eariy days down ta the present. Sa long as these sheep cnthusiasts keep up their present interest Durham caunty will remain weil ta the f.ont in the field of pedigreed sheep. IMarketing Regulations Are to be Enforced An announcement of consider- able importance to the fruit and vegetable industry of Ontario, and to truckers of fruit and veget- ables, has been made by George Wilson, Director of the Fruit and Vegetable Branch, Ontario De- partment of Agriculture. Amend- ed regulations have now been put into effect, requiring ail persons who buy fruit or vegetables and transport them by motor vehicle to obtain a licence from the Fruit and Vegetab]e Branch. A deal- er's licence is required, and a windshield marker for each veh- icle used in the transport of fruit and vegetables is provided, These amended regulations, drafted at the request of the fruit and vegetable industry, are designed to improve the market- ing of produce in Ontario and to insure that ail producers of and dealers of fruit and vegetables in the province comply strictly with the regulations under the Farm Products Grades and Sales Act, respecting the marketing, grading, and packing of ail fruit and vege- tables. Severe penalties are pro- vided for non-compliance with the regulations. Licence application forms are now available and can be obtained from the Fruit Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto, or from any fruit and vegetable inspector.

Keeping faods fresh at ail seasonz the locker system bas been a boan ta busy farm fa- milles. Latest ta establish, a iackcr sys- tcm in this district is T. M. Sie- mon, Enniskillen storekeeper. En- quiring into the values af the bock- er system The Statesman bas pre- pamed a star>' giving up ta date information on jhow ta prepare food for locker boxes. "It's June in Januamy"I may be the- theme sang ai homemakers who have accets ta cald starage locker plants or home freezing un- its and imeeze their own garden fresh vegetables and fruits. Be- ing able ta bring summer fiavor and variety ta winter menus, mare than compensates for ftic efforts expendcd in preparation and frcczing ai food. Directions are simple and spe- cific and shouid give excellent re- sults ta the homemaker treezing food for the first time, as wcil as ta the mare expericnced in this method ai food preservation. Containers for packing veget- ables and fruits for treczing may include heavil>' waxed cylindrical cartons with slip-over or slip-in lidt, oblong cartons with bag lin- ers, honey or jam tins (exccptfefr rhubarb) or glass seaiers, parfic- ulamly thase with wide tops. In freezing, selection ai veget- ables and fruits is most imoortant: onl>' the highest quality, picked at the right stage ai maturity for table use, should be chosen. Var- iety is alto important as ail var- icties ai each vegetable and fruit do nat give good esuits. Almost ail varietie.s ai straw- berries. that lusciaus and cageri>' awaited June fruit, are suitabie for freezing and will be tound most deliciaus next Januamy, s0 the simple methods ai preserva- tian are listed. Choose firm, fully ripe bernies, wLsh, sort, hull. slice or leave wvhole and pack in con- tainers and use either the dry or wet pack method. For dry pack aliow anc pound (2 cups) sugar for each 4 lbs. <about 12 cups) prcpared straw- bernies. Suft the sugar over the bernies in alternate layers in con- tainers, or mix ugar and bernies in a bawl, stirring and crushing slightly. Let stand until sugar dis- solves, then fill containers, leaving hahf an inch ai air space. For wet pack place bernies in container and caver with medium syrup, made by dissolving o'ne cup ai sugar in one cup ai water. ChilI syrup before using and this amount will fill two or thmee pint containers. Label ail containers cicariy as this makes for casier identifica- tion. Place finished packages in freezing unit at once, or in refrig- eratar or other cald place until aIl are packed, when they shauid be placed in locker plant as soon as passible. It is important ta work quickly and have fruit, i- quid, etc. as cold as possible at ail times.

Trip Bock Home To Dear OUd Durham (B>' Catwrighf Oldtimem) Howard Venning .who lei t his home in Cartwright man>' years ago ta take up residence in Nom- thern Ontario wherc heelias made a great succets, particulari>' in the reaim af educatian, came back ta the 'lomeland ai Durham tar a brief visit a short time ago ta meet aid schoalmates and get new Lnspiration in his native township. Some weeks ago there appearcd i The Statesman an article by Mm. Venning an the fine schooi in bis district at Charlton, of which hie was anc of!'he original trustees and helped greati>'-in its estab- lishment. Now having returned home Mr. Venning scnds back ta the editar ai The Statesman the iollowing account ai bis visit ta Cartwright which is written in the loase verse style ai Walt Masan, who, born in Braoklin village, became the out- standing prase-paet ai America. Mry Venning appears ta be a poet in his awn right as the iollowing exccrpts ai bis letter indicate. We quate: "Whcme arc aur friends ai ycs- teryear? the>' are ai aur girl and boyhood days when first we sport- cd an the vijiage green. Some sleep bcncath the mighty deep and same in foreign fields arc laid and some ai us are scattércd ta the four winds ai heaven. And ta tome ai us there cames a longing for the aid familiar faces in the aid familiar places an a littie street whcre aid iriends meet back in aur aid home tawn." "And ta omie time aga I took a trip back ta sec the aid town and there I met man>' aid triends and many new anes in Biackstock and Cartwright. There were man>' I wauld have iiked ta se but time was short and many had passed on. As I chatted with aid friends I reaiized that o-ily a iew short years and we aider people would alto jain the great gaiaxy ai pioneers ai a great township and community."1 "Sa here is ta lufe that is sound like a wheei and here's ta death we ail must feel. If luewa something that money coul-bu' the rich wouid ive and the poor wauld die. Sa here is a toast ta the grandest land an earth; this land ai ours whîch gave us birth; this land ai snaw and ice and mirth, off tceming fields, and iow- ing herds. Lard Gad ai Hasts, be with us yet; let wc forget. Lest we forget aur heritage, this Can- ada ai ours." "Sa let us sing Long Live the King and Howard long live hie, and when next hie daes raam around, ta Cartwright may it be." (Gcod gaing Howard: Ed.) No greater hope have we than in right thinkîng and right acting, and faith in the blessing ai fidel- ity, courage, patience and grace. -Mary Baker Eddy.
