replies for some time now rumor after i rumor has been heard about fin- ancial difficulties between britain and canada likely interrupting the export of food from this country to the united kingdom however it is understood here that not only will a satisfactory financial arrange ment allow existing food contracts eiween the two countries to be carried out but it i recognized here that canada should not in any way discontinue shipments into the united kingdom even temporarily which may force the people of britain to cut down on their already pretty low rations stouffville machine tool

animal names some of the names of our com mon farm animals sheep cow horse pig and the like go back in almost their present form so far into the reaches of antiquity that there is no telling how they began but many of our terms for farm animals are traceable and their histories are full of surprises the hen scratching around our farm house dooryard was once upon a time a hoen and before that she was a liana hana comes from the same ancient root as the latin cano and what they both moan is to sing our common egglayers gets her name today as the result of an ancient compliment upon the noise she makes when we call sooeysooeysooeyooey to the hogs we are uttering nothing less than a slightly mangled version of classical latin the old latin word for sow was sus and it produced the adjective suinus which came to mean anything having to do with hogs when we call sooey to the swine we are just saying in modern farmenglish exactly what an italian pig farmer would have l e oneill stouffville

sow farrows by the way she fearhows farh was the anglo- saxon name for pig the farmyard abounds in odd namemeanings our donkey was once upon a time called just a dun which was its common color as it still is then a diminutive k was added and made him a dunk and then still another j affectionate diminutive got added to that and he turned at last into a dunkey which has become in our day a donkey our word heifer has a partic ularly delightful origin all of us who are familiar with farm animals have been struck by the way in which a heifer seems to stand up extraordinarly high on her legs compared to a grown cow the farmers who gave heifers their name back in the anglosaxon era of our language were evidently struck by this too heifer is just our modern spelling of two anglo- saxon words heahfear they meant high ox but perhaps the oddest and most amusing of all our farm names is the name by which we call a male duck we call him a drake the original anglosaxon form of this was ened- rake ened was the word for a duck rake was old gothic reiks it meant chief mighty ruling when we call our drake a drake we are saluting him exactly speak ing as boss duck according to our traditional religious account it was the enter taining privilege of adam as he looked out in delighted astonih- ment upon the glory of the garden in the morning of the world to think up and bestow names upon all the things he saw as a bird flashed across the sky he took possession of it by giving it a name he captured it for the pur poses of human thought and speech in the same magical net of a be stowed name he caught the furred things of the forest and the scaly things and the finned things and presently where all had been namelessness and confusion mans world became a world of the identi fiable and discussable grandfather adam of course did not have time to get around to all the creatures his descendants have had to carry on the work as they have farther and farther explored the round world and as creature after creature has engaged their attention of become in some partic ular way associated with their lives we have been naming the animals for ages so thorough a job have we done
