We are THREE going to purchase new ones as we have received a donation from the PARISHES Seascale Stompers of £400 and £500 from our new Co-op. Along with the Parish Council budget we will be able to replace the ones that have failed. We have received some Community Fund money for the cycleway so I hope the committee will have a report in the next magazine. We have decided that we must be doing most things right as we do not see residents at our general meetings or our AGM. I hope everyone has a good summer and I am sure that the young people are looking forward to the new play park. Eileen Eastwood, Seascale Parish Council BATTLE OF THE SOMME There were three Seascale men who lost their lives in The Battle of the Somme. As we reach the 100-year anniversary of the battle, we will remember those from Seascale who never returned. 1 July 1916 Sergeant Matthew Hudson Mossop M.M. – he lived at Laurel Bank, Seascale, at that time. Served with 15th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales’s Own) 7 July 1916 Private Arthur Gibson – he lived at 1 The Crescent, Seascale at that time. Served with Borders Regiment 1st/5th Battalion 18 November 1916 Sergeant Joshua Hardisty M.M. – he lived at Taylor’s Cottages, Seascale at that time. Served with Borders Regiment 11th Battalion The Battle of the Somme began on 1 July 1916 and ended on 18 November 1916. How poignant that this village lost men on the first and the last day of the battle. SUGGESTIONS FOR ROAD SAFETY tethera tethera When driving under the Seascale railway arch put on your lights and be seen. And when walking along country roads we were all taught to walk on the side facing oncoming traffic. But surely on bends in the road it is safer to be on the outside so that traffic from both directions can see JULY the walkers more clearly and earlier? 2016 3 The next edition of Tethera is scheduled to DAVID be published on the last weekend in MORGAN October. We are always on the lookout for stories and event dates. The closing date for (D AI TO contributions will be Saturday 1 October. HIS FRIENDS ) SEASCALE PARISH COUNCILLORS Nearly all of our previous Brian Goulding (Chair) 21641 newsletters had Half mast. In respect of David Eileen Eastwood 28653 some news on David Halliday 28027 David saying how much over the years he has Ken Mawson 29786 done for Seascale village. It is so sad he is no David Moore 27674 longer with us and our thoughts are with his wife David Ritson 21668 June, his two sons and their families. Andrew Williams 28203 Many years ago when we were raising funds to Clerk make the old shunting shed into a sports hall and Ian Turner 01946 430887 Copeland District Councillors build a bowling green David helped to raise funds. David Moore 27674 We didn’t know he was a good folk singer until he Andy Pratt 24097 did a concert at The Wansfell. He was a man of County Councillor many talents; he helped with nearly all the Norman Clarkson 01946 841126 organisations that needed help. He didn’t just take Other Useful Numbers walks along the beach and footpaths – he never Cumbria Highways Hotline 0845 609 6609 walked past rubbish. We were the envy of other Copeland Direct 0845 054 8600 beaches and villages. David was our village treasure. GOSFORTH He flew all of the flags on the appropriate PARISH COUNCILLORS dates. I know we will never replace him but we will be organising beach cleans in his memory. We Tyson Norman (Chair) 25646 (home) already have a volunteer to fly the flags. 01946 841413 (work) David always kept an eye on the recycling bins Councillors David Ancell 25232 and waste bins and reported back to the Parish David Gray 25318 Council if they were full. Graham Hutson 25477 We owe him so much. We could enjoy our Alan Jacob 25356 clean beach and village all year round because of Mike M. McKinley 26267 David. Graham Parker 25470 Please help keep up his good work. I am sure all Ian Rae 25393 of us can pick up rubbish instead of walking past. I Paul Turner have seen two gentlemen doing it. Let it be a Chris Walton 25526 legacy for David that we carry on. Clerk David made a comment to me when we were Jane Murray 27091 discussing rubbish on the beach that he wished he had a vehicle to help him get along the beach and Tethera and previous issues of Seascale, Gosforth down the lanes. In my Parish write up in one of and Drigg Parish Council magazines are available the magazines I mentioned this. The response was to view and download in PDF format at unbelievable – the Stompers raised funds, the WI http://www.trpub.net/ and other groups supported it and we had a large The next issue will be available to view about 10 private donation. David got his vehicle and days before the publication date enjoyed using it. Eileen Eastwood 4 THE SEASCALE SHOW DRIGG & CARLETON It’s almost showtime again!

  • Chapter 1 Introduction the Domesticated Pigs of Today Have All
    > BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The domesticated pigs of today have all evolved from the wild boar (Sus scrofa). It is likely that humans domesticated the first boars as long ago as 7,000 to 9,000 BCE, and it is thought that they may even have been domesticated twice in history. Traditional pig stalls in Wales 1996 Domesticated Pigs in proportion to its body. The modern day domesticated pig also has less body Human History hair and it has an extra layer of body fat compared to the wild boar. These days, there are still plenty of wild boar populations throughout the world Farmers would have favoured the and it is interesting to note the differences selection of wild boars which held in their physical traits, despite the fact that more preferable traits such as size and their behaviours remain much the same docility, and perhaps ones which held as those of their ancestors. One notable more flesh for meat. Initially, it is thought difference is that the domesticated pig that humans kept pigs in an open has a much smaller head in comparison system which would have allowed their to the wild boar, and its head is small in domesticated pigs to have bred with PAGE 5 > BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE wild boar.

MICHAEL TAYLORVILLE, ILLINOIS. *~ r Copyright, 1891, By GEOKGE W. KINNEY, All Rights^ Reserved. PRRFAGR. The continual introduction of and the use of thor- oughbred boars will, with a liberal system of pedigree, produce better pork at a far less cost than when we use the common boar, and the farmer who practices this will be more likely to study the principles of breeding with an interest he had never felt before. With the end in view to improvement of the different breeds of hogs and their health, I offer this volume to the public, hoping that into the hands of whoever this work may fall that they will give it a careful perusal. I give it the name Swine because it applies to all breeds and classes of the hog species. If I were writing a work on natural history, hog would be the proper word to be used. But this is mere- ly a practical treatise on Swine. First, the manner and mode of breeding, as given by those who have spent years in the improvement of the different breeds throughout both Europe and the United States, as given by Stevens in his Book of Form, the wri- ters in Morton's Cyclopedia of Agriculture, and Youatt, Martin, Richardson, Sydney, and Darwin, though they speak of the pig and not hog, think that the refined, im- proved hog of to-day should not receive the rough, dirty name of a thousand years ago, as you will see from the plates in this work which are true copies given by the above authors.

A recent development is that departments in different regions of the country are now conducting joint studies into those enterprises in which they have a particular interest. This community of interest is being recognised by issuing enterprise reports in a common series entitled "Agricultural Enterprise Studies in England and Wales", although the publications will continue to be prepared and published by individual departments.
