%m "' .r'^?rf> January 2, 1924 THE FLESHERTCN ADVANCE THE Flesherton Advance W. H. THURSTON, - Editor 1 HOME I By One of The Old Boys j THE WINTER It was not always summer, and swimming was not always popular even when ice was off the pond. At such time as these resort was likely to be had to shacks made in primi- tive fashion in evergreen groves with- in a stone's-throw of one of the sever- ^ al streams that wound their way into tbtf pond and out again. Guilty questonjngs as to whose was the pro- perty and whose the trees we cut were seldom indulged in, until some wandering villager 'would pass close to the shack. At such timfes as these intense silence was maintained, and devout thanks were tendered to thi^ one of the bunch whose foresight had result^ in the clever hiding of the shack among the trees. Just recently I wandered over the old !i<:enes with a younger brother, who is asjjjpipnthrv generation. "Now ^i||;>^ around you, and see if you can find our shack," he dared, for the practise has continued to this day. I searched with meticulous care the corridors of the woods, but no shack could I^e. 'Well, come with me," he ordered. I came. Suddenly I stopped. "Do you see it now?" I saw it then. I saw it, because had I gone another step I should have placed my foot in its well-concealed door. "It's camouflaged," he said- embankment is a great manifestation of skill â€" but it is not for us. There is also a great winter sport of "hanging on to bobs," when the owner is opposed to the practise and whips up his horses to get away. He never does get away. Perhaps the long stinging lash swings around the back of the sleigh, but it takes good marksmanship to hit a derisive grinn- ing little imp about the size of a miflute when the horses are demand- ing some one's attention, and more- over, if he slows up enough, the teiTible infant escapes and runs oif in the highest of glee. The wiser â€" and the more popular man by far â€" is he who smiles when he sees a lad, and never notices that he is clinging to the rear bob in de- fiance of all popular demands of decency. Or, if one has been hang- ing on for so long and gets away out from the village and has to walk home, the driver who comes along and says "Hop in" is enthroned at once as a benefactor of the human race. The jingle of the merry bell and the swift rush of the bobsleigh through the pitch-holes of a winter's road do much to make our coldness of winter picturesque, and prevent us from dwelling too long on the dis- coyifoi'ts of this part of the year. The mill ponds, too, occasionally lent themselves to the sport of skat- ing-, all the more fascinating because of its comparative rarity. We en- joyed the skating (and the attempts to skate), but it is too much to expect a few young villagers to cope success- fully with the winter's winds, all winter, and keep the icy surface bare of snow. For a week or so when the weather suited, these open-air rinks rang with the spurn of steel blades on hard ice, and to the merry shout of careening skaters. Now there is a rink, and a dizzy whirl goes round and round, to the CEYLON RESIDENT PASSES AWAY Mrs. Gibson Golltnion Die* Suddenly At Owen Sound Mrs. Susannah CoUinson, widow of the late Gibson Collinson of Ceylon, died 8udde:.ly at Owen Sound Tues- day and the remains were brought nome on the evening train on Wed- nesday. Mrs. Collinson has been a resident of Ceylon for 26 years. Her hus- band died about six years ago. The deceased lady had been visiting her brothers in Owen Sound and Wiarton. She took suddenly ill at Owen Sound on Tuesday morning and passed away in a few minutes. The funeral ar- rangements have not been announced. A more extended notice will appear next week. Kimberley Show Next Week The annual Kimberley Poultry Show will be held on Wednesday and TbursdfiJ' of next week. This show is attracting more attention year by year and is a great help in advancing the interest of the poultry fanciers. A big crowd is expected to be in attendance. « Next May You'll be Glad YouVe a Member of the @ © ® TO HAVE SKATING IN RINK THE END OF THIS WEEK The Flesherton Rink Company ey- pect^o have skating in the rink by the end of his week. Considerable difficulty has been experienced this year and the season is late in start- ing on account of the continued mild weather. but we never had the term in our day. >'hythm of the village band, but ttjere And so the spare moments of our ithful time would be spent in such oundings as these.

If the elements were favorable long slides wouId.be made; long slides richly endowed with precarious turns and most thrilling bumps. The sharper the turn or tlie harder the bumps, the better the slide. And, as one's profii ncy with the | - vjSled increased, to say uuthing of ones i proficiency in wheedling the necessary j consent (and the the other kind of cent) from one's parents, we appear- ed with bobs. Two sleighs connected with a wide board, on which six or eight of us could pile, would go far- ther than the single sleds, and if near the finish, the steerer could slew half his load off, it would go farther stUl. It is a peculiar fact that sleigh- riding has only attraction for the young. Most of us think as we grow older that we still love it, and are good for a tri^l of it if we only had ''•«»^^""*''»^ut-'let any person try it in '^Sty, and he will find that it- is oo ft..i-^nd risky a game. ., "PTie nerve of some^t the little- cfidgers as tliey skim posts at the side of the path and swer\'e at just the proper moment from a stone wall or a steep is no brush fire to warm one, and no rude benches beneath the stars on which to fumble with refractory straps, or take an interminable time I in adjusting the straps on the small j foot of a certain young lady. And those who skate are mostly younger and smaller than I â€" where they used to be contemptuously older and larg- er. It is hard to hero-worship these skaters of the later day. Perahps the roofed and walled-in pleasure is as great or greater. I don't know. George Penrose, an adventrrer, was murdered by natives in New Guinea. What makes this interesting as a news item is the fact that all of Pen- rose's family all live in Canada, his father and sister at Lucknow and a brother in Toronto. © ® ® @ Springtime Club This winter you'll have money to in- vest.

The flihy flavor and odor In butter has. In aomt Isolated cases, been found to b« due to the cows pastur- ing In marsbM which are periodically flooded by the tide and on tne grasses of whlob amall crabs and dried or de- cayed remnants of shell flsh and of other flsh ar« found. Bacteriologists have reported -also tlfe existence of certain species' of bacteria capable of developing In milk, cream, and butter a flshy flavor. It Is further possible fqr butter to become tainted with a flshy flavor when it Is kept In close proximity to fls:;, in which case the butter absorbs the odor. Each of the above cited causes of flshlnes Is quite possible, but ♦ith the conditions under whfch this but- ter becomes flshy It Is not very probable. By far the most common causes of flshlness In commercial butter are unclean and rusty cream shlppinir cans, churning cream with a rela" tively high acidity, an acidity above about .35%. and holding the cream In a forewarmer or In a vat. In Which the copper lining and coils are, not properly covered with tin for a considerable length of time. One may prevent, with a certainty, the recurrence of flahy Uavor In but- ter by paying close ixttcutlon to the following suggestions: , 1. Eliminate rusty cans and return ' to the farmer cans only that are thoroughly cleaned, rinsed, steamed and dried. 2. Keep the copper surfaces in forewarmers, vul:;, and coalers well tinned. Do not permit exposed cop- per surfaces to becoire coated v.-lth verdigris. Wash all forewarmers, pumps, and paeteur.zers, coolers, vats, , and conduits th iroughly ' each day after use and flush them out again with hot water lm!..<-dlately be- fore use the next day. It ,he colls and lining In the cream vats 3how any exposed copper, do not hold 'ha cream In tliem over night. 3. If the cream arrives at tha creamery sour, neutralize it to .25% acid or below. Do not churn cream that lias an acidity of ,35% or higher. '1. If you pasteurize by the flash laethod, boat the cream to a temper- aiaro of 180 lo IS.";" F.
