the august meeting of the ontario county council was held in whitby friday and discussions during the morning session were centred on hospitalization and county roads warden wm h westney presided reeve t h harding of reach township directed attention of council to the need of hospitaliza tion to the county presently served by hospitals at lindsay and orillia in the north and oshawa and tor onto in the south reminding council of the over crowded conditions in hospitals used by ontario county residents reeve harding said there is no question that it is necessary that additional accommodation be pro vided but it is almost impossible to correct the condition and fin ance additional hospitals without aid from the county it is our duty to support these hospitals he continued so that sick persons may be looked after nearer home reeve harding told council that county grants for this purpose were commonplace and that precedent had already been established with grants of 25000 being made in other counties duncan mclntyre reeve of whitby asked for time to consider the matter recalling that previous councils had refused to support the oshawa hospital and suggesting that the matter of financing hos pitals was the responsibility of the minor municipalities served by the installations i think that the hospitals should have aid he said but i would like time to consider the

period among the supporters of calcium chloride was seymour whitney deputyreeve of whitby who said that the use of oil as a binder was invariably followed by potholes and breaks needing major repairs reeve harding was of the opin ion that the county owned suffici ent equipment to keep the roads in good repair and suggested that representatives of the townships should contact the county engineer to

the soil there are thousands of farmers and market gardeners whose acreage does not justify the investment in largesize tactor equipment such men were barred from the use of power machinery until the pony came into the picture today it is helping them to increase their farm output reduce production costs and eliminate oldfashioned drudgery the pony is an outstanding example of the farmminded engineering that lies behind every masseyharris machine in designing the pony masseyharris engineers were not content merely to build a smallsize low- cost tractor they studied the kinds of work that a small tractor would have to do in practical farm use to give satisfaction to its owner and they calculated the require ments of power traction weight and en durance that such work would call for as a result the masseyharris pony outweighs outpulls and outworks every other tractor in its class it will do more work than a team and much more work than a little walkbehind tractor going further masseyharris engineers designed an assortment of quickmounted tools for the pony exactly the right size to yield the maximum amount of finished work per hour of time and per gallon of gasoline with these tools the pony not only does more work than a team but does it better faster and cheaper masseyharris ertowfiw 7847 toronto coma month al yorkton moncton current winnimo caioary brandon edmonton

waterloo county the effort of the brethren recalls similar replacements in the markham district over the past years but they had no thought of records they were intent only upon replacing the structure as quickly as possible to permit the resumption of normal farming operations saturday two weeks and four days after the fire the new barn was ready for use and the christian fellowship doesnt end with the erection of the barn enoch martin soninlaw of mrs bauman who suffered the loss of his first crop as well as so pigs and other stock in the fire will have the mows of the new barn filled with the assistance of the neighbors immediately after the fire steps were taken to obtain another barn it was found about 20 miles away on the 4th of peel above floradale one morning a group of farmers and carpenters went to work on the 60 by 75foot barn and by 10 oclock that night the whole barn had been dismantled and moved to its new location midway be tween elmira and st jacobs the fire while destroying the framework of the barn had not damaged the foundation nor the silo the barn purchased as a replace ment was 20 feet short for the foundation of the original 75 by so foot barn timbers for the extension were cut in the martin woodlot and hauled to the s s martin sawmill at floradale where they were cut free of charge friday morning nearly 500 men accompanied by a goodly number of women with wellfilled baskets of food arrived for the barn raising by noon the framework was in place the same evening the siding was on by saturday night the roof was on and the large barn

the year i sensed it this morning when i awoke at daylight and heard a neighbor calling their cows theyve finished their har vest excepting for the late potatoes there is the hope the price will be higher before digging although tubers have been selling from the field at 1 and si 25 were through harvesting here most of the grain was threshed in the field theres still buckwheat to be harvested but it will come in time at the house were in the middle of the pickles the tomatoes are ripening and the cucumbers seem to form faster than they can be plucked from the vines mrs higgins brought over a bushel of pears yesterday thats why we had to go into town last night for the sugar i had a wonderfully relaxed feeling as i lay in bed on this fine august morning and listened to the sounds of the world coming to life the early morning freight screeched as it came up over the grade in the distance a neighbors dog barked and our pup picked up the refrain and another dog away across the concession started barking as well giving a strange and unreal echo to the other sounds the birds were chirruping with that strange and almost metallic sound that they have in the minutes before dawn i heard a bed spring give a screeching whinge as a sleeper partially roused and then without being aware of it relaxed and slumbered on a cow bawled in a lonesome way and down the road at another farm a rooster crowed to the first twinges of sun in the sky there was a faint chilliness in the air that made the bed seem even more comfortable than usual and i scrouged down in its cushioned warmth loathe to make the break for the activities of another day on the farm down in the kitchen the tele phone rang there were two longs a short and a long i always thought that signal or set up of signals belonged to the railways and constituted a warning sign for its two longs a short and a long the engineer is obliged to blow for crossings however mrs josh doesnt regard it as any signal to watch out

old mrs henderson who was not expected to last through the night shes gone i said but for once my curiosity wasnt sufficiently aroused to induce me to get out and attend the phone instead i stuck to my comfortable bed i regretted that long after for widow smiths modest home at ballantrae was on fire and never could satisfactorily explain my absence next thing the bull started to bawl he bawls on general principals i think he stays awake so that he can bawl in the morn- nig and be ahead of the cows same as our roosters do it gives these male associates some sort of superior feeling over the females of their kind next i heard a neigh bor calling or shouting at his team and i concluded i better get up so i jumped out on the cool floor and could see through the window that the frost was on the pumpkin vine i lost no time getting down and starting the fire although we had been using a coal oil stove all summer one of the few in this section neighbors said it was dangerous and would burn us out some day this opinion was most readily advanced by those who could afford one but wouldnt part with the cash our 90 pound bags of potatoes as i said before were bringing the unheard of price that fall of 125 due to a com plete failure in other provinces they tell us before the crop was all eaten the price was 60c old josh british slaughtering of horses is probed a horse is often worth

are more than 400 government concerned the government is concerned and that is reflected in the fact two investigations are under way one involves a committee headed by lord rosebery one of britains leading horsemen whose racing colors are famous it is delving into the export of horses for work and slaughter slaughtering for food and whether breeding for slaugh ter should be encouraged farm organizations would like to see more control farmers com plain that at country sales they cannot compete with dealers who bid up to 70 280 for a horse not worth half the price the price of a good
