Nearly 4,000,000 Pounds of Butter Made in North in 1939 In his opening remarks Mr. Barker pointed out that while the dairy inâ€" dustry is not usually rated as a very important branch of farming in Norâ€" thern Ontario, aside from the fact that the people must be supplied with a sufficient quantity of pure fluid milk, nevertheless, there had been produced in this particular part of the province 3,907,299 pounds of butter in 1939. This was 361,523 pounds more than in 1938. The speaker also pointed out that not only was the quantity produced greatâ€" er, but the quality was also distinctly superior. . ts c n tdsc mm mm ie UAAA NA s use un ue cce in N omcs uesc ce e cce Nee se e e es ces cce ies cce m ons en Matheson, Jan. 10â€"(Special to The Advance) â€" Those present at the month‘s course in agriculture being held in the town hall at Matheson exâ€" perienced a real treat on Tuesday, Janâ€" vary 9, when Mr. G. H. Barker, Superâ€" visor of Dairying in Northern Ontario for the Provincial Department of Agriâ€" culture, gave two excellent talks on dairying in the North. Cheese of course is not produced in such large quantities as is butter bu; it also had experienced an increase in production and a step up in quality. Mr. Barker went on to explain that in his opinion the dairy industry of Northern Ontario could be materially expanded to the advantage of all conâ€" cerned, including the producers, the dealers and the consumers. He pointed out that any section which has so much good land; is so well watered; produces such an abundance of tame grasses and clovers for pasture and winter feed; with plenty of timber for buildings and fences is eminently suited for the proâ€" duction of dairy products on an exâ€" tensive scale. Increase of 361,523 Pounds Over 1938. Other Interestâ€" ing Facts Told at Short Course at Matheson. Mr. Barker also dealt with the variâ€" ous stages through which the milk must pass from the time it is milked until it finally reaches the consumers‘ table, as fluid milk, cream, Butter, cheese, ice cream, etc., and stressed the vital importance of sanitation and cleanliness in all these steps. Caretakers themselves, as well as their clothing should be scrupulously clean. Dairy barns should be disinâ€" fected and either whitewashed or painted. The cows udder should be washed with a warm damp disinfected cloth before milking and all utensis with which the milk ever comes in contact such as pails, strainers, cream separators, storage cans, etc., should be thoroughly washed and scalded after each time that they are used. This he maintained was the only way in which it was possible to produce a produce of No. 1 grade, and there was quite a difference in the price of No. 1 and No. 2 grade cream or butter. In closing he emphasized quality Wishes to announce that it has moved into its new premises at the corner of Main Street and Golden Avenue, © Imperial Bank of Canada South Porcupine, Ont., Branch Schumacher, Jan. 10. â€"â€" (Special to The Advance)â€"A meeting of the Anâ€" glican Ladies‘ Guild was held on Tuesâ€" day evering, at the home of Mrs. Perâ€" _cival, 72 Third Ave. There were sixâ€" teen members present.

Anglican Ladies‘ Guild of Schumacher Church Membership of 460 24â€"Hour Curling Marks Mclntyre Club There are several unique features about the MciIntyre curling club. FProm the standpoint of membership it is one of the largest, if not the largest, of Canadian clubs. Furthermore, it is unique inasmuch as there is curling there twentyâ€"four hours a day. Like most of the modern, newly erected curling clubs, the MceIntyre is equipped with matched stones. This is a very important feature inasmuch as it assures regularity of competition on all rinks and a man‘s curling can be judged by ability only, as all are usâ€" ing the same equipment. The Timâ€" mins club is also equipped with matchâ€" ed fortyâ€"pound stones. Veteran Porcupine curlers who have tried®®" the new rink at the McIntyre, say that it is one of the best, from every standpoint, that they have curled on. They are high in their praise of the ice surface and equipment. The latest addition to the business concerns of Schumacher is McLellan‘s Grocery and Meat Market at the corâ€" ner of Second avenue and Pine street, Schumacher, in the premises formerly occupied by Bigg‘s Grocery. Mr. Jack MclLellan, the new proprietor, knows both the grocery and meatl pusiness and the people of the district, for he has been in this line here since 1911 with the exception of four years on active service overseas during the last war. Well known for his efficiency and courâ€" tesy Mr. McLellan is very popular in the district. On the staff is John Tasâ€" ker, another oldâ€"timer of the North, with a wide circle of followers among those who appreciate quality and serâ€" vice. Mr. Tasker was with the Timâ€" mins Provision for many years, and is wellâ€"known in the camp. One of Largest, if Not Larâ€" gest, Membership in Canâ€" ada. Will Develop Good Curlers. Over a period of a few seasons the McIntyre will probably develop a good many first rate curlers. The men are taking to the sport with a great deal of enthusiasm. That they would was evident last year when the ice surface in the main arena was marked out for curling for a short period and a tourâ€" ney held. Enthusiasm at that tourney was so great that officials deemed it wise to include a modern, upâ€"toâ€"date curling rink in the new wing of the building. There is curling at all hours of the night and day at the McIntyre. The six ice surfaces are very rarely idle. At night the day shift men do their curling and in the daytime it is the night shift men who have possession of the ice. The MciIntyre club has a membership of 460 members. It is rare for any club to top the three hundred markâ€"only the biggest of clubs in large Canadian cities have done so. For purposes of comparison it is a fact that the Timâ€" mins club, which ranks as a big curlâ€" ing organization, has never had more than approximately 180 members.
