the horse the horse has the smallest stom ach in proportion to it3 size of any of the domestic animal3 therefore it must have food and drink fre quently it goes without saying that the horse is to be fed the first thing in the morning but if an unusualy card days work is ahead for the an- inal it is better that he should have j an extra feed the night before and only the average breakfast for a meal require time for digestion and an overfed horse is as inactive as an overfed man carry a nosebag the kind with the upper portion well ventilated so you can give the horse a feed any time without unharness ing him a small feed every two hours with a short rest is better for the horse than a comparatively full feed in the middle of the day stag gers megrims and apoplexy are brought on by long fasting and ov erfeeding thereafter a wisp of wet hay and a swallow or two of water at intervals of a couple of hours will refresh a horse that has been trav eling hard and fast in warm weath er after the animal has been given a drink it is well to sponge out his nostrils and eyes as it is very re freshing four half pails of water four times a day are better for him than a full pail of water morning and night if you want the horse to be well and strong dont hurry him when feeding- or work him the mo ment he has finished grooming the horse clipping a horse is a comfort to the animal in summer if you are able to protect him from flies in the winter it is cruel and foolish however much it may add to his ap pearance grooms and stablemen of ten urge that a horse be clipped be cause it makes it easier for them to keep him clean in cleaning a horse he should first be led from his stall because otherwise the dust will set tle in his crib fouling his food if a horse is washed he must immed iately be well dried as he is other wise liable to take cold the curry comb must always be used gently as it otherwise becomes an instrum ent of torture but when it comes to the matter of brushing and rubbing the more thoroughly it is done the handsomer the animals coat will ap pear and the more thoroughly will he be ready for a days work be cause brushing softens his skin frees the horse from dandruff and other impurities opens them and stimulates them into action the hair should never be cut from a horses ears nor from his pasterns because the hair in the cars keeps them warm and prevents deafness and the hair about the hoofs keeps the fetlocks dry and prevents sore heels it may make work easier for the men in the stable but it wont add to the comfort or usefulness of the horse washing currying and grooming the horse had best be the work of the early morning on re turning from a days work if the horse is hot he should be allowed to cool off gradually before being plac ed in his stall so as to avoid tak ing a chill then his legs should be well rubbed down by hand this op eration soothes and rests the an imal and enables the man in charge of him to detect and remove thorns burrs or splinters then the horses hoofs should be carefully examined and if there is a stone wedge be tween the hoof and the shoe it must be removed otherwise the animal will probably be lame by morning it is best to have the shoe of a city horse changed every three weeks because the hoof is constantly grow ing and any fault in shoe or foot requires instant correction wankets and fly nets in cold weather be sure that your horses are blanketed the moment they come to a stand the faster they have gone and the harder they have worked the more important does the blanket become because the horse becomes thoroughly heat ed and when perspiring is more likely to catch a cold or a chill than if worked only moderately your blanket should be of ample size cov ering the animal thoroughly from neck to tail and can bo buckled snugly under the belly before working the horse again roll up the blanket as it will otherwise only increase his perspiration and at the same time absorb the moisture a wet blanket on a horse in cold wea ther makes sickness a certainty in the summer it will add greatly to the horses comfort to provide fly ricta if you cant do this a green bough fastened to the harness will i afford some protection better still there arc three preparations which flies dont like but that wont hurt i the horse rub one of the three on the places where flies are most an- 1 uoying concentrated oil of laurel gmartweed teat or a mixture made of one pound of assafoctida half half a pint of vinegar and a pint of wa- 1 ter aside from the constant annoy- j ance of the animal flies are a danger to the driver or passengers because they render the horses nervous irri- table and likely to bolt and run away now science explains why so many people past 40 feel that theyre

wheat moves the montreal star for about three weeks now sales of canadian wheat for export have proceeded at a rate which can best be compared with the heavy move ment that took place during the great war ever since the argen tine set a high minimum price on december 13 it has been apparent that canada is in possession of the export field this is of immense na tional significance a fortnight ago we pointed to what the movement would mean to our ports available linefreight at saint john for example is reported to bo prety well booked and let it be said at once that montreal should not grudge the maritime ports any break that they may get incidentally there are reports of the odd couple of tramps al ready chartered to carry grain out of montreal when the river opens in the spring nothing to get too ex cited about yet but generally sug gesting that things may well get back to a proslump basis this is the time of year when chartering ships and booking space should begin to get under way after so long a win ter of depression however many will cheer a single swallow as if it were the full summr v and canada is in fine position to move wheat this winter there re some 20000000 bushels of wheat in st lawrence and maritime ports which could well move out during the winter through saint john there are about another 48000000 bushels in eastern elevators and lake ports from which the freight rates to saint john arc equivalent to those from buffalo to new york this wheat then is in export position though some of it no doubt will be required for domestic milling in east ern canada there are too from 30000000 to 40000000 bushels a- vailable for shipment through british columbia ports in addition to a fair supply at american lake ports some of which we might hope that export will

dobson general manager reports 50000000 increase in deposits for second year in succession basis for optimism for the im mediate future is to be found in the accomplishments of the past two years stated mr morris y wilson president and manajrins director in the course of his ad dress at the 07th annual meeting of the royal bank of canada in every province of canada said mr wilson the improvement in conditions has reduced unem ployment and created increased purchasing power to the farm ers of the west there is an almost immeasurable difference between a price of 40c and 90c for wheat and there is every prospect that by the end of the crop year the carryover will be materially re duced in the cities the burdens and distress due to unemployment have been reduced by an expans ion in all lines of manufacturing in fact in recent months the vol ume of manufacturing has exceed ed that in the normal base year 1920 marked expansion in the auto mobile and allied industries the chemical industry in the demand for textiles anil boots were also noted by mr wilson who remark ed that the sustained activity in the mining industry during the de pression and its expansion in 1934- 1935 have been outstanding ele ments in canadian recovery mining the payrolls of that industry said mr wilson provided gener ous wages at a time when many of those employed in other indus tries were out of work without the expenditures of the mining in dustry for supplies machinery and other items the depression in can ada would have been much more severe in spite of low prices and the low level of demand for build ing materials the total volume of mineral production in 1935 again amounted to more than 300000- 000 the volume of gold produc tion attained a new high record of 115000000 i am of the opinion that the great period in canadian mineral production is in the fu ture unemployed while employment has shown some improvement during the past year unemployment is still a ma jor problem relief expenditures constitute a threatening drain upon the resources of many local com munities while recognizing fully our social obligations i fear that these expenditures have not al ways been made with due regard to the public interest the pro mised survey by the dominion government is awaited with great interest sanctity of contracts referring to the repudiation last year by one of the provinces of important longterm power con tracts mr wilson said the alleged ground was that of illegal ity but it is noteworthy that dis regarding all ordinary canons of british justice the aggrieved in vestors have been denied access to the courts to press their claims moral considerations aside and these are not to be lightly disre garded the policy of repudiat ing contracts that may have be come burdensome because of changed conditions strikes at the very root of our social and econ omic life stated in its lowest terms moreover repudiation does not pay in the past we have made heavy sacrifices to build up and maintain our credit abroad unless some means can be found to remove the stain this incident will be a permanent blot upon the fair name of our country provincial finances the financial position of some of our provinces has been the sub ject of frequent discussions during i months economic condi tions in western canada and ab normally heavy expenditures for relief resulting therefrom have necessitated large advances from the dominion government it was inevitable that sooner or later the question of control by the federal government over the finances of these provinces should he brought up particularly in view of sugges tions put forward that the federal government by lending its credit should assist in a general refund ing of provincial debts so a3 to reduce the interest charge and thereby assist in balancing the budgets of these provinces such assistance by the federal govern ment could only be justified if there were set lip effective safe guards against excessive borrow ings by provinces in the future a matter that would seem to involve an amendment to our constitution with duo safeguards however i believe that some such plan would merit and receive tho support of public opinion in canada foreign trade seveneights of our total foreign trade in the past three years has been with the british empire and the united states the present upturn in business activity is asso ciated with a rising demand for canadian goods in enipirc markets and in the markets of the united states in the twelve months end ing in november 1935 canadian ex ports to the empire exceeded those of the same months of the prev ious two years by 25 million and 5108 million respectively exports to the united states showed corres ponding gains at 54 million and 100 million figures show that as yet canada is not benefiting by any gains in general world buying power but rather from the rec overy which is under way in great britain ami the united states it would seem that canada is indeed fortunate to have secured favor able trade agreements with her two best customers while the agreement with the united states has been in effect but a few days in view of the gain of 100 million over the past two years optimism as to further gams in exports to the united states during 1930 is justified summary i would not feel justified in closing my remarks without em phasizing that many serious prob lems still confront us but neither can i close on a pessimistic note the canadian people have faced and i since rely believe have conquered the depression at this stage we must not listen to the fainthearted who have become frightened or discour aged by the trials of recent years those who now ge default repu diation or compromise as a solu tion to our financial problem are false prophets who 1 ave not cor rectly read the signs ftf the times the canadian people ure made of sterner stuff the upward trend n business would now seem to bi definitely established in fact i believe we may look forward to tile coming year with a greater optinism than has been possible at any tme in the past six years general managers adoess mr s g dobson general man ager referred to the financial statement as follows the sixtysixth annual report and balance sheet reflect continu ance of the upturn of business which began in 1933 and which has progressed almost without in terruption since that time totals under practically all headings are again higher indicating the steady and continuous growth of the bank a year ago we reported an in crease of 50000000 in deposits this year we are able to report a further increase of over 50000- 000 or a total of over 100000- 000 in two years an impressive amount deposits in canada again increased in all provinces savings deposits being up over 11000000 because of the continued lack of demand for commercial loans the main outlets for investment of the additional deposits has been the purchase of government and municipal securities as a conse quence assets under these head ings have increased bv 03000000 to 190000000 assets up 12000000 total assets during the year in creased 42000000 and arc now 800919700 the highest point leached since 1931 quick assets stand at 423073881 or 58t2- of total liabilities to the public call loans in canada increased 2898034 while call loans out side of canada decreased 10090- 106 current loans in canada have increased by 300000 and similar advances abroad by 2573809 while there has been a consider able improvement in business con ditions so far recovery has not increased appreciably the demand for bank accommodation our senior executive organiza tion was recently enlarged by the appointment of three assistant general managers namely burn- ham l mitchell james muir and harold g hesler mr mitchell will continue to supervise oniario business with headquarters in tor onto and mr muir and mr hesler will ns heretofore be attached to head office all three are highly trained bankers of wide experien ce who have spent their business lifetime in the service of the bank at the last annual meeting i ventured the opinion that we had every justification for looking for ward to improved conditions dur ing 1935 this expectation has been realized perhaps to an even greater extent than wo had hoped for at that time tho outlook is still favorable and as i see it there is no reason why we should not enter 193c with a feeling of optimism 46 conductor how old arc you my little girl little boston girl if the corpora tion doesnt object id prefer to pay my full

pioneers who came and wentj by prof s b mccready editors note thin is the first of a series of 10 articles which were published recently iu the harriston review while written speciatly for the review and addressed to residents of minto township particu larly we believe they will be found interesting to many of thereaders of this paper because the problems ot the farm folk of minto township are the same problfiais that confront rural people throughout the pro vince in april las ttte mail ami empire printed a series of seven short ar ticles written by me dealing witi reforms iu rural education tho ar ticles were based to a considerable measure on observations made in the summer of 1934 during a visit to denmark sweden and scotland i tried to point out some lessons we in oniario might learn from those pro gressive countrios in modernizing our system of education so that the needs of country life might be better served than they are now at that time mr gardiner editor of the review expressed a wish for a series of similar articles for his paper and i agreed to prepare such sometime when 1 could hog my lazy spirit to the task this is the first of tho articles i propose to discuss in ten short contributions some prob lems concerning the wellbeing of minto township which i am sure are in the minds of every good citizen of the district i do not expect everyone will agree with my proposals pro bably there will be more disagree- mnt than agreement and likely many will say that my suggestions are im possible of accomplishment hut whatever the results there can be no doubt of the value of open discussion no one is allwise we all may learn yet and moreover whatever may be thought of my suggestions i am sure everyone will agree we are in anxi ous times canada and the world at large are at the parting of the ways an old era is ending a new era is being horn what about minto town ship in this new birth in this year of grace 1935 it is only eighty years since it was solid busx without a settler what will it be in the year 2000 just sixtyfive years away tho same question may well be asked of the 570 other townships in ontario what is going to happen to the country i undertake bhis task with not a little hesitation for i realize that homegrown prophets would be wiser often to remain silent the folk am ong whom one is brought up are not disposed as a rule to accept very seriously the advice or criticisms of one of themselves truly as it was said of old a prophet is not without honor save in his own country but in spite of my fear charged hesitancy 1 make hold to write for i have a great love for minto town ship harriston is my birth place there never has been and never can be for me any place quite so dear most of bhe things dearest in life are associated with harriston and the country about it the old home the old friends the old schools old tea chers and old schoolmates uie old playing fields and swimming holes tho streams and woods and berry patches tho country roads and the friendly country acquaintances the old cemetery and the tender memorl- es associated wiwi its graves and besides all these my wife too is of minto and harris on a daughter of another pioneer indeed much of my interest in minto has come from listening to my father and mr liv ingstone talk of tho pioneer days i think they knew every farm and set tler in the township so willynilly i am a part of minto i belong to it and always will belong to it my bones will probably become part of its soil as many readers of the review will know my father was one of the pioneers of minto he came to har riston from tevlotdale in 1859 76 years ago and was the districts first general store keeper at uiat time there were fewer than a dozen houses in harriston the first lota had been marked out in 1s55 and the first house built by archibald har rison our home was a pioneer home though it was framo not log built my earliest memories are of a country just half emerging from the solid bush i came into the world when minto was in the making and i have lived long enough to see it in 1915 more or less as an oldsottlod moro or ies completed agricultural community i sullivan
