HELLO, FARMERS' SONS Calendars outlining a special five weeks' course in agriculture which will be given in the Bowmanvill'e High School commencing commencing on Monday morning, January 18, have been sent to farmers' sons of West Durham, and to date the following applications applications have been received : Frank Johns, Hampton Louis Spry, Hampton Jas.

Taylor, Enniskillen The object of the course is not to teach the boy how to farm--practical work on the farm is the best teacher, and the.;mak- ing of farmers does not occur in the class room. The aim is rather to give the young farmer a greater interest and insight insight into his work, to lead him to ask the "why" of things, to get at underlying principles, to interest him in new ideas and give him some practical information. Some of the subjects taken up will be:-- soils--cultivation, drainage, fertilizers; insects insects and fungus diseases and methods of combating them; identification and eradication eradication of weeds and weed seeds; dairying --practical work in milk-testing; poultry; fruit culture--practical work in pruning and grafting; live stock--practical work in judging cattle, horses, sheep and swine. Visits will be made to local stock farms for this purpose. The last week of the course will be devoted devoted to the box packing of apples, under the supervision of a box packing expert; the judging of classes of live stock and seeds; and finally, a banquet to the students. students. It is our desire to interest as many farmers' farmers' sons in this practical course as possible. possible. We hope the young- men of West Durham will appreciate the coursé suffi* cientlÿ to equal in numbers that of previous previous years. - ' • < We hope this course will appeal - to all you young farmers. It is your opportunity. opportunity. Do not miss it. Be good enough to send in your application application at once to Mr. R. S. Duncan, Port Hope, so that proper accommodation can be arranged.

WORKMEN CAN HELP TROOPS AT FRONT Vhged to Take Personal Interest ths Manufacture of. -Equipment • - • • r/ For Soldiers In Oils of Canada's best known public men addressed the employes of a Ifcrga boot and shoe factory In Montreal Montreal at their annual gathering last week as follows : "Thia Company haa obtained a contract contract from the Government for 40,000 pain qi boots, to be used by the soldiers soldiers going to the front., I anS Informed Informed by the managing director that 8 very tow bid was put in for these goods, primarily for the purpose .of keeping you. men and women employed employed during these trying times. Now, I want to say à word to you about the boot c cm tract. These boots are to be worn by the Canadian soldiers soldiers who go to war. A soldier's usefulness depends largely upon his ability to march. He cannot travel unless his feet are sound, and his feet can only be kept in good condition condition if his boots are right. The management will purchase the best material possible to fill this contract! The superintendents will use the utmost utmost vigilance, but unless everyone of you makes n it a personal matter, some of these boots may not be quite right. It is easyr for a laster to leave a nail in the sole, which may lame a man who wears the boot. The meff. who cut the soles might put in some weak shanks, in which case the soldiers soldiers wearing those boots could not use a spade properly ; and it might happen that on their being able to dig entrenchments their, very lives would depend. When you are putting in the counters, remember that a bad counter counter means a down-trodden heel and a blistered foot. When you are nailing nailing on the heels remember that to drive the nails one-sixteenth of an inch short might mean that the heels would come off and the wearer be handicapped in marching. You women women of the stitching room remember that it the linings sure not put in properly or any bunching occurs, it may result in a blister where the foot is chafed. Nbw, I want everyone of you to remember that these boots are to be worn by our Canadian beys, and that a bad boot inky mean a lams soldier, and a lame soldier may mean a Canadian taken prisoner or shot. People are giving : large sums of money to help those who go to the war. You can help by seeing that they are properly shod.
