Last week a sleet storm caused a number of poles and lines from the local Bell Telephone central to break and com- munications were interrupted for sev- eral days until repairs were made. Monday morning about eight inches of snow was measured, having fallen through the night and on Tuesday and Wednesday more snow was fall- ing. It is however of a light kind and easily removed from the roads, but if high winds came up tru> roads would be blocked in short order by the drifting snow. It appears as if we will have twice the amount of snow as in 1942, but some claitr that it will be an open winter with very little more snow. Due to storms in other sections the trains on the Owen Sound branch have been running late, from half an hojr to two hours, but there is no sign of a blockade yet. S. S.

It is believed this increase can be obtained because 1. There is an abundance of grain on most farms and grain can be purchased a t reasonable prices. 2. By the use of inexpensive labor-saving devices in hog feed- ing, the progeny from an extra sow can be raised with very little additional manual labor. 3.
