in the production of pigs and in apite of the increased numbers bred and reared the quality has bren well maintained which is highly important as we shall always find while the British market is our only chance to dispose of surplus bacon There has been an Increas-rd demand for lard in the United States and I am informed that their pigs re fed for a little increase in fat hut as they eat tl elr own bacon mostly except during the war that is matter for their own decision In fact if they push this too far we may later find an increased demand for Canadian bacon across the line We rannot supply it now but there'll be another day In spite of some discourage' menta Canadian farmers have done their part It was a pity there has not been a Bacon Board fairer to the farmer It did queer things at the start and as we ap preached the date of the new ba con agreement this autumn there was a drop of about $150 per cwt on dressed pigs and then when the new agreement was announced we were told with great acclaim that the farmers were to get ten per cent increase about $110 per cwt on the price of dressed hogs I wonder if this increase quite equalled the drop immediately before Why drop the price smd then try to feel good uhout increasing it to what It was? The Canadian farmers have nothing to thank the Baron Board for This is a good time for farmers who are raising pigs to lay in a pile of sods to feed to growing pigs and brood sows during winter It is all right to feed minerals in some other form but I have never found anything better to keep pigs healthy after the ground freezes than a good supply of tough grassy sods Give the pigs a chance at them and they will devour the vis completely The easiest way to get sods is to plow a few furrows and cut the sods in short lengths with a spade It is much easier done if you take up each furrow as it is turned If that is not convenient turn few furrows snd begin by cutting and lifting the last one first If you throw an odd sod not too large Into a oat box you will be surprised at how he will relish It when the winters snow is getting deep Good health is the most Important thing with farm animals as it is when they are healthy pork beef and milk are the most easily and economically

moisture and It is still growing well A sale of Suffolk horses at Ips-witch England early in September resulted in good prices One outstanding feature of the sale was the price paid for foils Reducing the values to Canadian fun is the top priced foal sold for and eleven foals averaged just about S350 This indicates what they think of the future of horses in England as two or three years must rass before these foals are of useable age The BritLih Ministry of Food bas decreed that after this sea son no grain will be available for distilleries Mult distillers will be allowed to complete their 1912 quotas and to acquire the small amount of barley needed for the purpose The licensing of all swill collectors in England has been proposed as a means of preventing the spread of disease among pigs by feeding swill not properly cooked Ontario farmers in many sections should be interested in this as many of them suffered from hog cholera during the last few yeafs which was undoubtedly spread by the feeding of swill not properly cooked during the time of the heavy influx of American pork shortly after the war began when some people were eager to bccomo the first war profiteers Fifty thousand pounds have been spent on a drainage scheme in Chosire in the north of England In one place 5000 acres that were under water have grown crops of grass wheat and potatoes This Is a dairy cattle country Before the war about one hundred thousand cows were milked in Chesire and their product was mostly Chesire Cheese In the North Riding of Yorkshire a farm of 147 acres is carrying 321 head of livestock consisting of 42 cows 171 sheep 102 pigs and 6 horses Fifty-three acres of grass pastures the lot 25 acres of which are permanent pasture The crops are barley 20 acres oats 38 acres roots including potatoes swedes and sugar beets 34 acres oats and vetches mixed 2 acres Silage is made for the cows and breeding ewes to both of which it is fed with great success Britain may not be wanting too much farm produce from Canada after the war Bacon and cheese however are likely to be in good demand Twenty-three registered Shire horses were sold at a dispersion sale in England at an average price of $1000 The top stallion brought $3450 The sale was over in less than two hours A later lamb sale was held In Hawick in the Scottish Borders where 20000 lambs were sold in two days These lambs are raised on the Scottish hills and are sold to be fed on the Lowland farms At Wilton 23000 sheep and lambs were sold at the Sheep Fair A hillside farm In England was seeded to grass without a nurse crop and was being grazed five weeks after the seeding This was in the Pennine area of Lan-castershire where the rain fall is usually very heavy The Toronto cattle market had a fair run on Monday Oct 19th but there were a lot of cows and bulls and animals that would not make very high class beef One good load of steers brought $1090 Some feeders were forward but It took some selling to get $1030 There is a prevailing opinion among the cattlemen that before Christmas good killing cattle will be very scarce Quite a lot of cattle are being wintered with a lew to finishing on the grass during May and June when the prices as announced will be much better There Is not much satisfaction expressed around the yards as to the market conditions There is however an air of confidence about the feeding of cattle this winter Some dealers think the prices must further improve ANDERSON BROS Ltd beginnings of the factory were undertaken on the west bank of the river below the falls Twenty years later the factory moved to the present site on tht canal only to be wiped out four years later by fire Three times the plant was burned out but each time a more modem building was erected and in 1892 following the third fire new machinery was added and the name Gibbard Furniture Company applied The seme name wee used until a few years ego when the factory changed hands and is almost the same with the exception of in front of the former title Until that time the factory had been in the hands of the Gibbard family end handed down from one generation to the next until the present time when the president and manager is Jack McPherson There is a noticeable family atmosphere among the employees due largely to the fact that fathers end sons have worked as craftsmen in the factory and are followed today by their daughters working side by side with them Two employees James Douglas and James A Moffat have been with the company for more than 50 years The secretary Werk Poole said six employees have eerved tor 40 years and others over a period of 30 years The night watchmen too has been covering the plant night ly tor many years on his tours of inspection Visitors to the town ere continually surprised when shown through the factory at the clean and bright interior accustomed as they are to seeing the congested and often dirty factory districts of some cities Helping to promote this is the large recrea tlon room Installed over a year ago where many off-work evenings ere whiled away at ping pong or a game of pooL The mod' era and fully-equipped kitchen has been found just as attractive as the recreation room and both get a fair share of attention when the employees are off duty DESERONTO Oct Harvest thanksgiving services were con ducted In St Anglican

Canada the Gibbard Furniture Company la today turning out war supplies Officials did not care to have the nature of the war work publicized For the first time in the history of the factory girls have been employed to work at the lighter machinery in the plant and with 25 of them taking part of the load off the it has become possible for the factory to have two shifts Working hours for the girls and some of the men are from 7:30 un to 5:30 pm The girls are not yet allowed to work at night The night shift starts at six and production continues until four in the morning Coveralls Worn Much like other war industries the girls wear the trim dark blue coveralls to work and while at the machines wear nets to cover their hair They find the work easy One girl said that If a girl could not do one type of work she was given a chance to demonstrate her skill on a different machine Working with their hands and seeing their efforts take shape proves a continual source of satisfaction to the girls Undreamed-of Expansion Little did the original owner John Gibbard often called grand old realize that after 108 years the factory would not only be carrying on in the same role as it has from the first but also be helping to serve the needs in war In fact the factory was not intended tor Napanee but wee originally intended to have its start In the United States In the village of Wilton John Gibbard learned the carpentry trade from his father It was there he had been born and brought up At 24 he decided to start out on his own snd with Oswego In view he waited at the Descronto dock tor a boat which filled to turn up With night approaching he decided to go back to Napanee where he stayed for the rest of his life If the boa: had come in on time it is probable that Napanee would have
