) ) Local Residents Open Store Front Ceramics Store A busy Gary Jeffery is shown in the photo above tending to his recently opened ceramic shop in town. Mr. Jeffery is surrounded by an abundance of ceramic and model railroad supplies, and a variety of hand-crafted gifts. In the photo above, customers browse through the large selection By Lucy Rybka Recently, two lifelong Bowmanville residents, Susan and Gary Jeffery opened the only store front ceramics shop in the downtown core.

"Our interest just caught on like crazy, we couldn't get enough of it. One thing just led to another." Gradually the couple fought a kiln, began purchasing ceramic molds (often travelling travelling to the U.S. where the majority of molds originate), and built up a regular clientele. clientele. Before they knew it, there just wasn't enough room. Now Susan and Gary have the space to display their selection of greenware in the shop. The shop carries a complete line of ceramic supples for hobbyists, such as : greenware, whiteware, Gare paints, Africana and Harlyn stains, finished ceramic products, and model railroad supplies for the serious model railroader. (Mr. Jeffery is a member of the local railroad club.) The couple also does custom firing and supplies other studios with greenware. Aside from ceramics, the shop '= filled with hand-crafted of greenware gifts taken on consignment.

AGRI-NEWS By Rod Stork (Acting) Agricultural Representative Feed Analysis - Dollar Savings For You - There is obviously a need for analysis of feedstuffs since one of the most important costs of any livestock operation is the feed you use. Whether you use feed analysis to trouble shoot possible possible nutrient problems or to aid in more efficient feeding through ration formulation, the data received is invaluable to you as a livestock feeder. Feeds can be analysed at harvest harvest or after storage or both. Knowing the quality o£ the feeds-used can give valuable information when making feeding and cropping decisions decisions each year. Although there is a cost involved, this expense could return you many times over in reduced feed costs, better production or a combination of factors in your herd. There are many feed testing services available to the farmers of Ontario. The Feed Analysis Lab, operated jointly by the University of Guelph and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture & Food, handles over 7,000 samples a year. Currently there are three standard types of analysis services available through the Lab in Guelph. Type I analysis provides a Dry Matter and Crude Protein reading for each sample submitted. Type II analysis provides Dry Matter, Crude Protein, Calcium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium Magnesium and Potassium readings. Type III analysis provides all the information included in Type II, plus the levels of manganese, copper and zinc in the sample. There are also special analysis services available to determine Digestible Digestible Protein, Crude Fibre, Grass Fat, Grass Energy, Salt, pH and others. In addition to Feed Analysis services available through the Lab, there are Dairy and Beef Ration Formulation Services available. Using the analysis of home grown feeds, a properly properly balanced ration can be developed for each farmer's herd. With corn silage now being harvested across the county, we urge farmers to take samples for each load going into the silo so that you have a representative sample to have analysed. Hopefully if you have haylage, you have already done this. Baled hay can now be sampled on the mow. Information on the Feed Analysis and Ration Formulation Formulation Service, as well as the necessary I feamplg kits are available at'- yourjjlocal Agricultural Agricultural Office. Remember home grown feed quality will be quite variable this year. Plan to have your home grown feed analysed and save dollars in your livestock feeding program this winter. Advance Payment Program For Soybeans - Soybean growers in Ontario are again eligible to participate in the 1982 Advance Program of Agriculture Canada.

The advances are interest- free, provided the producer adheres to the terms of the program including final repayment no later than July 15, 1983.

Application deadline is December 15,1982. Corn and Soybean Drying Charts Available - Each year the Ontario Grain and Feed Dealers Association issues a series of charts showing the conversion factors to be used for. corn and soybeans at all moisture ranges.
