Department of Agriculture Agricultural Meeting: people came into close grips with the things that were of interest to their industry. and did a very creditable job in arriving at con. ciusions. duolng Top iQua.lity Milk The big maJorlty of milk pro- ducers are today well aware of the importance of turning out a top-quality product and are equal- ly well acquainted with the mess- ures necess y to insure such a product. ut it would appear that there continues to be a small number who are either not aware of the importance of such care or are not sufficiently acquainted with the necessa y procedure. .Which- ever the case may be it,ls of con- cern to all those who produce only a small amount of milk to affect both the good name and financial success of dalrymen as a whole. Those who do today consistent- ly produce a good quality product agree that it is just as easy to do this as it is to produce something of a poorer quality. And they will agree, too, that it does not necessarily follow that because a man is equipped with the most modem or up-to-date equipment that he will be any more able to produce good quality milk than is the man with older equipment. -. 1' Not Equipment Rather they will agree that it is not the equipment but the man- ner in which it is cared for, the general management given the herd and the procedure followed at miikin time, which count. Of first importance is a clean and disease-free herd. Animals which are lllGITISClVra kept in sur- roundings which are unhealthy or unsanitary cannot be expected to produce milk which is free from contamination. Any measures which contribute to a higher adol- ity of milk being produced. These would include such things as are necessary to keep the herd free of contagious diseases. the use of ample bedding and frequent clean- ing of stables. keeping the udder and flanks of stabled cows clip- ped and clean, frequent grooming to keep skin clean and healthy and all other such measures. The careful dairyman. however, is not satisfied with keeping his herd and burn in good shape. He knows that milk is one of the most easily contaminated products and that there must be care at milking time. Thus he takes care to wash udder: at each milking. preferably using a diffkent cloth for each cow and always changing the washing solution as it becomes dirty or cool. Prevent Wet Litter Imtuinte to Prevent Heat Losses: The use of insulation is a great aid in preventing litter problems. Insulation make it possible to keep the pens much warmer than the outside temperature , without having dampness forming on the walls and ceiling. Insulation also keeps down the heat loss through the walls and ceiling. The high- er temperature and reduced heat loss as a result of the insulation make ventilation much easier. When insulating poultry house: it is important to prevent the in- sulation maieriai from becoming wet. This can be done by placing a vapor barrier between the in- side of the house and the in- sulating material. Use Built-Up Litter: The litter itself has a great deal to do with moisture. A deep well-worked litter cwlli usually stay dry while a new litter will become wet in a week. The time to build this litter is before cold weather alerts. Many pouitrymen find that once they start clean- ing. they continually have wet pens. A deep litter. that is at least six inches deep that has been built up before winter weath- er starts has I. good chance of going through the winter in good condition.

This stirring can be done the birds if scratch is fed in the litter. Even then, it is necesss y to even the litter out, as the hens will move It to the dark side of thc pen. The litter should be kept evenly distributed and loose. Litter can be stirred with A fork, but on large poultry farms this is so much work that it. fre- quently is not done. Mechiinical litter stirrars have lightened this work. The gasoline powered stir- rers have more power than those operated by electricity, and they will break up matted iittcr much easier. The birds become accust- omed to the noise of these motors quickly, and no decrease in pro- duction has resulted from their use. Use A Dry Agent: Hydrated lime has been used to help keep litter dry. Commercial drying materials are now on the market that seem effectlvc, yet are iess irritating to use. The time to use a dry agent is before the litter is really wet.” After the pens are wet. there is very littic that can be done except to clean them out and start again.

It only wants security. Yet, as always, large numbers of young people leave their homes veariy. for green- er pastures elsewhere. By the mid-twenties. the average young person has worked out some compromise between his youthful hopes and dreams, and reality. (Many. however, could be spared years of wasted effort and unhap- piness. under trained guidance). Sometimes he does find his niche. away. but often he returns and set- tles down in the place of his birth. Then comes a period of no journeys.

Nothing is really keeping them. They can go. if they like. But. sadly enough. there are many cases. where only one of the two, likes to go on this journey. Then, Time's change are clear. Where is the child's un- concern with those left at home? Where is youth's freedom to con- aider himself alone? Or maybe both go on the jour- ney. There are many couples who have retained their curiosity about life in all its phases. They love to probe in odd corners, ask ques- tions. try to understand more about the way other people live and think. Whatever their calen- dar age. these travelers are young in mind and heart.

An ideal compromise, health ber- -mittivng. between the journey where one is a passive spectator, and an active participant, has been dis- covered by many on the Island. This is the long journey to visit friends and relatives in other parts of the world. In their midst, new insights are gained lovingly and painlessly. even by those no longer as young as they were. i In conclusion, let us sav. there is nothing praise-wortily about go- ing on journeys. and nothing blame- worthy about staying at home at any age. some of the finest and wisest of pcople have scarcely left their firesidesi And some of the biackest sheep, have strayed the farthest!

It is a. choice between hope and delusion. All the contemporary ideologies offer men hope and a future to five for in a time of insecurity and forboding. "Believe it not," said the Master; for such hopes derived as they are from a secular utoplanism that. experience of life does not corroborate, are doomed inevitably to disappointment. There is 3. Christian hope for bad times, but it looks beyond the historical proceu to eternal and unchanging grounds of confidence. It is. it believes, when things are at their worst that the Son of Man comes in power and great glory. Such language raises the ques- tion of the eschatoiogical motif in the Christian interpretation of history. Admittedly this chapter in st. Matthew depends upon more primitive material; but it reflects the characteristic outlook of near- ly all the New Testament writers, and probably also of our Lord. It rejects evolutionary optim- ism. for it does not believe in that kind of progress: but it also re- pudlates despairing fatalism, be- cause it believes in the sovereign- ity of God. in one way the Bible is more akin to Marxism than to the Whig or liberal traditions. It knows that good ideas and right motives are not enough to deflect the stream of history - a stream that takes, or appears to take, its course inde- HOLMAN He wants me I always t since I feel the difference in our ages is too great for us to become serious about each other.
