h Today 1 Have Been [nA HayField ley is making hay these days and he . is véry busy for hay is perishable 2 iid and time is precious, writes Rev. J.|- * G. Berry, M.A, B.D, jin the Ottawa Jo |. This hot July afternoon I have been in a hay fiéld on the high ridge where the land begins to dip down to the banks of the Ottawa river. I have seen the men at work, farmer. and son, and extra man for. the haying. The field lay in a soft » . warm haze but from the river there eame a slight breeze which temper ed the hot clover-laden 'air and which brought relief to the men, perspir- ing under the burden of their steady labor. It is warm work, haying, but this has been such a good season. 1 have not seen such rich abundant clover with its sweet red brown flow- er as I have seen in the fields here. In the hayfield the uneven rattle of the hayrake limbering along was the only 'sound and at intervals a word or two 'from the men. I knew that what was going on in this field was going on in a score of other fields all around. » Haymaking leaves no time for any thought except the actual worn um hand but when. the afternoon had run its course, when supper was over . In the low cool summer kitchen, it was .not hard to think of old"days and to let memories deep down in the mind rise to the surface. Modern | machinery had not come with its speed and its material gains yet with some lowering and loss of hu- man values and humanity. Perhaps the farmer 'does not trouble himself with thoughts of how things have changed. He knows that he has to keep up with the inevitable march of the 'times and fall into line with others. Yet something~has been lost from the' old haymaking. For there was more of a personal note and interest in it then. Jt was a crait which had been practiced from time immemorial and handed down with its secret and its skill, free from the -demon of speed who drives so many people on in our 'time. It was a work which was done with the thoroughness and pride of doing 'a thing well. : No one who has had the rare pleasure of reading 'Hilaire Belloc's delightful essay "The -Mowing of a Field" will fail to see these things. : From the early morning when he awoke to think of the mowing, took a scythe from its nail, sharpened it and began to .mow the grass while the -dew-was-still -on -it, working on |- with a monotonous regularity unitl the swathes were raked into cochs, tall and steep to keep off the dew, and struggling blades were raked al- 80, till the whole field was a clean floor for the tedding and the carry- ne - ing of the hay next morning, there 8 was a certain tradition and ritual about it all which centuries of hay- making had fashioned. But then his whole hayfield was only two acres! Pe _ Yet even on a larger scale hay- making brought in, 'instead of one or "two. only, men and women and children. It Was a. more social and brighter business. We have a picture prt of it drawn by the novelsit Con- de : stance -Holme: "The brown hot faces -- of the men, the cotton frocks and bonnets of the girls, the roan horse piled to its shoulders with the hay, the figure topping the load, black in the golden ether below the sap- _ phife blue. And then the fierceness = went out of the sun, the splendor of oh the evening was beginning, full of long nights and lovely distances, The most perfect hours were at hand." ' Something of this still survives in our fields today but times are chang- ing and we are ch#hged with them. Let us hope that mechanization will not kill man and the finer qualities of his life. - Place of Execution ---- There seems to be considerable approval of the idea that the time has arrived when the death penalty should be inflicted, not in the com- munity where thé murder occurred, but at some central place in the pro- vinces, or. at the penitentiaries, writes the Brantford Expositor, There is a good.deal to be said for this view. If, after murderers are tried and condemned, they were transferred immediately to the peni- tentiary there to await 'the time of ~ execution, which could be carried out Pe , with as little publicity as possible, | wh 'ft would save a lot of turmoil and .. A curiosity that invariably accompany . hankings in small communities. Canadians are quite genérally agreed that the death penalty for lt Jl murder is necessary for the proteec- tion of society, and, if this is so, then it shouid be imposed in a manner that | - will disturb the public as little as possible, : EE y [49 Nearly 450 miles of the Stalin highway, stretching from Moscow, Russia, to the Pacific, have been eompleted. > nl =D a 'Every farmer in the Ottawa val- of country life. ¥ A test of 400 lbs: of Wendigo Gold Mines ore conducted by C.

IY hii, 7 INE win AAS mn To Improve the ~ Grade Dairy Herd Continue to Use Pure - Bred. Sire of Same Breed on Each Generation The grading up system of breed- ing means the mating of one com- mon or. unimproved--parent with a By continuing to use a purebred. purebred sire on each successive gen- eration thus produced, the herd soon comes to have great uniformity and a high economic value, but as breed- ing stock they are worthless, With cattle, the first cross will make .all the calves half bloods and thereafter, if superior bulls are used, the progress toward higher levels is certain. Eventually, the unimproved blood practically disappears, but such animals can never be registered. If grades are bred to grades, no progress is made. The upward "pull" comes through the purebred sire only. No promising-bull calf even from a high- record grade cow should ever be re- tained for use as a sire. He may look | "right," but all improvement stops when he enters the service. i Where marked improvement in a grade herd is shown by the first- cross daughters of a purebred bull, it is considered advisable for several reasons to breed him back to his own daughters. ~ The failure to make a full and consistent use of sires of the same breed in grading is the most glaring mistake made by livestock farmers today. In dairy herds the temptation to use a bull of some fat-test breed, on high-grade cows of a low fat-test breed, should be discouraged. Stick to the same breed of sire or dispose of the herd and make a new start. In producing cattle either for direct utility purposes or breeding stock, there is with possibly one exception no practical advantage in crossing distinct breeds. The fancy that de- sirablo but opposed characters. can be easily made to blend by this method has been the undoing of many cattle- men. Do not cross breeds. Strive to improve the breed already in hand. Glycerine is to be made from rice waste and broken rice in Italy. eM a .._e Lt Nee .

H, Suthevland, editor and pub- lisher of the Evening News, New Glasgow, N.S., in the heart of the coal mining district, says the London Free Press, - Canadian editors who attended the last meeting of the Canadian Press held in Toronto early in May, will not soon forget Mr, Sutherland. There had been a'lory and at times rather acrimonious debate over the handling of the news of the Moose River disaster. There was consider- able difference of opinion expressed as to what had taken place in the last brave 24-hour fight to rescue the entombed men. Finally when everyone had had their say a gentleman, whom few knew, arose at the back. He explain- ed in the broadest of Scotch that he was the publisher of the New Glas- gow News, where most of the drae- germen came from. He knew them all personally; they were all friends of his. He had talked with them since their return from Moose River. Then in simple, but eloquent langu- age, he told the story of what had actually taken place in that long fight. They felt they had done noth- ing "extraordinary; it was all part of their daily task; they did not look on themselves as heroes, : Wher «the speaker sat down there was ifot one ed by his recital. The debate closed. There was nothing more to say. The speaker was the late Mr. Sutherland. The miners have lost a good friend in the déath of Mr. Sutherland. In his paper he always has been an ad- vocate of t,'e miner and the steel worker in any plans for improve- ment--of working and living condi- tions. Defines $2 Word .

Pension Scheme For Employees Wrigley Company Contri- butes Nearly $100,000 to Start-Pension Plan. the Wm, Wrigley Jr. 'Co. Limited of Canada join with 8,000 employees of the company in the United States in a pension plan recently announ- ced. The plan went into effect in Canada .on July 1st, 1936. : Under the plan the amount of pensions depends on the workers' wages and ~ the length of service with the Wrigley Company. Wrig- ley's have always been intensely interested in the welfare and securi- ty of their employees and have always manifested this interest to the fullest extent. In order to credit employees who have been with the Company for many years before the sta¥t of the plan, Wrigley's have made a cash contribution to the fund of almost $100,000 to cover these years of previous service, Thus any employee who has been with the Wrigley Company for 25 years and whose salary is now $200 # month, would have an automatic pension of $50.00 per month. On the average, the Company and the employees pay into the fund an equal amount each month, The employees contribution amounts to about four cents on every dollar earned. The retirement age .is set at 66 years, Life expectancy ig esti- mated at 12 years above aga 65. However in the event of death, or "digcontinuance in the empliyment of the Wrigley Company, or in the case of early retirement, employees may withdraw the funds which they have paid into the plans, plus interesi compounded at 8% annually, Pay. ments and pensions are all based on a percentage of wage multiplied by the number of ¥ears with tie Company, As an example for employee long with the company, a man who has now been with Wrigley's for twenty-five years, earning a salary of $200.00, would, if he continues | with the Company for twenty more years, earn a pension of $110.00 pér month. And if he lives out the normal "expectancy -of 12' years, he will have withdrawn a total of $16, 840.00 although Nhs contributions would amount to only $1,920.00, self, the appearance of being exceed- Over two hundred members of | 'Not fulsome feigning, He damns me up, he danins me down .

SLOANE & CO. Ltd. 45 Richmond St. W., Toronto [Carcass Grading of Hogs Is Equitable Standards for live hog grading were established in Canada in October, of 1922, in accordance with regulations under 'the Live Stock and Live Stock Products Act. A national Swine Con- ference had been convened in the previous year to consider the serious difficulties then being experienced- in Britain, the one major problem being the inferiority of Canadian bocon. The Conference appointed a perman- ent committee, known as the Joint Stock Committee and the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture was requested to es- 'oblish and administer an indepen- dent grading service. The Joint Swine Committee was ap- pointed to act in an advisory capacity to the Dominion Department of Agri- culture in the development of hog grading and other policies pertaining to the swine industry. It 1s composed of two representatives of the Domin- fon Live Stock Branch, two of the packing Industry, one each for the Province = of Quebec, the Western Live Stock Union, the Eastern Live Stock Union, and two from the Can. adlan_ Council -of Agriculture, Cogni- cant of the limitations of llve grading and familiar with the grading systems in other countries, Committee, writes L.

Review, re- commended to the Department of Ag- riculture that experimental work be undertaken to determine whether a system of carcass, or rail grading would be practical and adaptable to conditions of marketing and slaughter- ing of hogs in Canada. Following somo preliminary work to establish tentative carcass grades, the Hog Grading Regulations were amended on March 17, 1934, to pro- vide carcass grading on a voluntary basis, so that experimental work as recommended could" be commenced. Consequently, carcass grading on a voluntary basis, for purely experi- mental purposes, was started in Peot- erboro; Onts; in July, 1934, and later in the year at Stratford. During that year 3,577 hogs were carcass-graded, and the growth of the system may be: gauged by the fact that in three months of 1936 the number of hogs graded was 57,007.

Permits to Drive rd -- Magistrate Burbidge of Hamilton has something to say about granting driving permits to people who were suffering from physical "handicaps. Cne driver was to have appeared be- fore him to answer to criminal negli- gence in operating his car, but the information obtained was that the accused could not appear in court on account of his<physical condition. The driver is a 70 per cent. war disability case. Medical testimony showed this driver has a heart condition, chronic bronchitis, nervous disability and other ailments. He has been under treatment at Byron Hospital and left against doctor's orders. The Hamilton magistrate says an individual in that condition should not be driving a car, and the magis- trate is right. He says a permit to drive should not be issued to him and again he is right, It would be no hardship to tell a person in that con- dition he should not drive. In the end it would be kindness. 850 Years Old A church with a wooden tower, a duck pond, a village inn, a smithy and a few scattered cottages, all of which constitute a_village, have sur-, rendered to the demands df ijodern days.
