YULE GUESSING AT THE WEIGHT OF HOGS The other day I heard some farmers guessing at the average weight of a Joad of hogs. The incident recalled story which I heard the Hon. Frank Oliver tell. Edmonton Typographical Union was negotiating a scale of wages with the two papers, the Jour- na and the Bulletin. Something was said, to which Mr. Oliver replied that it reminded him of the way they used to weigh hogs in Kansas. He said in the early days two plat- forms were joined up with a -beam, which was placed over a rail. The hogs were placed on one platform and seeing me the pigs crunted and at the back of the pen took up a position facing me. They were all eves and ears. To use a present-day expres- sion, I did my stuff. with the result that pix jumped the railing. much as a deer jumps a fence when pursued by dogs. For some three days we were hunting pigs through the grain. Th y were simply terrified. These two Incidents bear out the fact that animals, even domesticated ones, are creatures of habit and the unusual fills them with fear. Our Trip to the Provincial Seed Fair By ARTHUR MACKEY Teepee Creek. Leaving on Friday's train, January th, we arrived in Edmonton on Satur- day evening, where we were met by Mr. Black of the Department of Agri- culture and Mr. Blue. secretary of Chamber of Commerce. Edmonton. and stones piled on the other until an exen te wehom-we-weredriven-te-our-hotel. balance was finally made. Then. said Mr. Oliver, they guessed at the weight of the stones. Mr. Oliver. who is a born story- teller. has a fund of yarns gathered duripg the pioneer days of the West. On another occasion. at a, meeting between the employers and the union. the latter drew attention to the fact (a3 a talking point) that the night shift only had a half hour for lunch. In reply to this Mr. Oliver observed that the newspaper business was dif- ferent to anything in the Sfirid. It was imperative. he said. that the mail caught and for that reason every minute counted. By way of illus. trating this point, he said: A load of hogs is shipped into the stockyards. Immediately upon arriving at our hotel we hurried away again to put the capping touches to our perfect trip by attending .a theatre. On Sunday. after acquainting our- selves with the new dining room of the Corona. Mr. Blue called and took us for a tour of the city. .Throush his kindness we were shown the Untyer- ning Mr. Blue, secretary of the Ed- ton Chamber of Commerce. had us out to his home to dinner, where Wwe had a wonderful time. MEMORIES OF ONTARIO SCHOOL DAYS IN THE SEVENTIES Tve wandered o'er our boyhood scenes And neath the maple tree, Upon the old school playground, Jim Where we played with childish glee, But there were none who knew me, As few are left you know Of all our class in those old days Of fifty years ago.

A very interesting talk Now it doesn't matter, as a rule, whether the hogs are killed that day or not. In fact the hogs would just as soon wait GOOD OLD SLEIGH BELLS Bors it seems good to hear the old sleigh bells again.

Harrison, Board Great changes have taken place since the days of the horse and the sleigh bells, and while it can be taken for granted that the horse so far as road travel is concerned has, speak- ing generally, been pushed aside by the power machine, there is pleasure im recalling the days suggested every time we occasionally hear the bells. The world it moves and we move on with it whether we will or not. ANIMALS CREATURES OF HABIT A chat ith Gordon Morrison last. week I recall as one of the most pleas- ant experiences of the week. Gordon does not merely like horses he loves them, especially the kind that has speed. -His pleasintest moments are when he is piloting a speedster around the track. During the conversation or should Tsay the little tete-a-tete Gordon in- formed me that he has a good pros- pect in a young horse, whic gives promise of real speed. In fact. right now be can make Lady Onward step. After discussing horses and doss and various other animals, the con- versation turned to experiences on farms, and Gordon told of an exper - ence he had when a smali boy in the locality where the writer first saw the light of day. He was visiting relaiives on a farm where the stock had never Seen a small boy. Like most boys, one of the first places to be explored was the big Bank barn, the lower section of which wag,-filled with stock. On seeing the little chap the stock imme- Giately became more or less panicky. Describing the incident. Gordon said that he stood-in the passageway in front of two biz steers, which stam- peded and ran away with the manger. Of course. added Gordon. T did a little tunt The members of the family are still wondering what bap- pened This Story recalled to the mind of the writer an incident that occurred when T was x mere lad. With my two brothers I visited relatives who lived some twenty-four miles away. It was a red letter day in our lives. for it wan the first time we were ever on train. Like young Morrison the tirst pieer we explored was the barn. of course. The stock on this farm also had ween any children and they ran from us like sheep chased by coyotes. Thad been told that f one moved face and then made a jump in the air that you could stampede any animal. In exploring the barn I finally went fnto jean-to in Which were some Goren xcod-sized pigs.

In the evening the C. 8. T. A. ban- quet was held at the Varsity Tuck Shop. Interesting addresses were given by Wheat Pool representatives. and also by Dr. Jensen of University of Alberta on the Farm Debt Problem. Follow- ing the banquet a theatre party-was held at the Rialty. Thursday we took in competition at North Lab. 244, Uni versity Campus. Lunch was served at the Parliament Buildings, after which an inspection of the Edmonton City Dairy took place. This con- cluded the short course. T here wish to take the privilege of thanking Mr. W.

Herd Improvement Proving Beneficial To Dairym n that herd improvement work. more popularly known as cow-testing, is giving them a definite dollar-and- cents return is deduced from informa- tion gathered by the dairy branch of the Provincigi Department of Agri- culture in the course, of a survey of, production conditions on deiry farms, of the province While testing work in Alberta is comparatively in its in- fancy. it is gradually becoming an essential part of the program of pro- gressive dairymen in building up more profitable herds. Po concrete proofs of the value of on Monday evening. Janu- p arefinding ; eow-testing are to be found-in data friends at Calgary and Banff en taken from farm herds and showing: the average cash returns per cow in tested and non-tested groups, where the inferior cows had been culled out. as a result of cow-testing, and in the average returns over feed costs in the same two groups of cows. Fifty-one herds where cows were not on test gave an average cash re- turn Gver feed costs per cow of 35.44 while 38 herds on test over ong neat margin to the advantage of the tested herds. In addition to this in- creased-return per cow, it was noted that while 15 per cent of the cows in the-non-tested herds were not paying for the feed they consumed, only-25 per cent of the cows in-the tested herds were unable to return enough Produce to pay for their feed. It seems apparent that the knowl- edge gained through testing is. en- abling herd owners to improve thelr feeding practices and so cut .down feeding. expense. and also them in weeding out: the. individual cows, which are not profitable. Similar evidence is found, in the average cash returns for the cows in the samie two groups. The 51 non- tested herds cave an average cash return in 1931 of 85.88; the 39 tested E. Minchin, Ritz, and J. Lessard; subs, herds gave a cash return per cow of 93.44 again showing a good margin in favor of the tested herds. It should be borne in mind that a number of MACLEOD CURLING CONTROVERSY ENDS. THIS YEAR IN PARTIAL WIN FOR THE WOMEN CURLERS The controversy which has raged between the men and women curlers) for the last few years, as to whether the women are to be allowed to curl in the evening or not, ended this year in m partial victory for the women. The ladies asked for one sheet two evenings a week, and after consider- able discussion, they were granted two sheets one evening a week. This may seem to be the same thing to most people, but.as they have barely four rinks. and in the event of any being absent. it would be impossible eutstimmte as they are alt supposed to be on the ice at the same time. Some of the men evidently believe that the women's place is in the home. especially at night during the curling season. Cheer up, girls You are getting: neirer your objective, and possibly next Year you Will have all the evening ana make the men curl in the after- noon. DEPRESSION PRICES TO- PREVAIL Do not forget the ice carnival, which wilt be held tm the Sexsmith Rink on Saturday. January 29, There will be hockey matches. barrel jumping, races. and other ice sports, After this is Gver there Will be a moceasin dance. with music suppli d by the Kirstein orchestra. The usual het-dog stand will be in evidence. Do not fail to attend this, as de- pression prices will prevail and you Rertainiy will get your money's worth The carnival is being put on by the Wwomen's Institute and the proceeds wilt be used in a good cause. CHINESE NEW YEAR JANUARY 25) January 25 is the Chinese New Year. Bin Wone. proprietor of the New Eng- land Cafe. also states that it is their leap year. We understand that New Year is one of the greatest holidays in the Chinese calendar. On that dar ail Chinese are supposed to pay their debts and start off with a clean sheet. Whether the depression has- knocked this custom galley west we are not prepared to say. but if it has not ther certainly are good. We have about five Chinese citizens in Sexsmith. and these same five must have distributed a carload of Chinese nuts. tea. preserved ginger. and silk handkerchiefs amongst their customers this iast New Year's.
