Mary Bradfield Dairy Princess 1981

CLIPPED FROMThe ExpositorBrantford, Ontario, Canada28 Aug 1980, Thu  •  Page 15

Dairy Princess for 1980-81.

Feb 1981

An outstanding ambassadress for ihe provincial dairy industry, would be an asset in that capacity at the national level, as well. Friendly and confident, Mary meets people of any age with a warm handshake, a pleasant smile. She has the happy knack of making people feel her interest in them, her concern for them.

The dairy princess visited Lanark County last week. The 22-year-old daughter of Gordon and Ellen Bradfield, Peterborough County, has completed three years of a four year honors course in economics. After taking two years at the University of Toronto, Mary transferred to Queen’s University, Kingston, for her third year. She is to return to Queen’s for the fourth and last year of her economics course, after she completes her year as Ontario Dairy Princess.

Gordel is the name of the Bradfield herd of registered Holsteins on the family farm situated about five miles east of Peterborough. The Bradfields milk about 40 Holsteins with a Surge pipeline system. Mary and David, her 20-year-old brother, have always helped on the farm, while attending school from home and now on weekends and holidays. Mary has completed 12 agricultural and six homemaking 4-H clubs. David Bradfield will graduate from the two-year diploma course at the University of Guelph in April. He plans on coming home to farm with his father.

The family farm has been in the Bradfield name since 1832. “There have always been Bradfietds on the farm,” Mary said proudly. Her grandmother, age 82, lives in her own home on the farm, Mary’s mother, Ellen Bradfield, teaches part time in a school for the mentally retarded, following his return home to farm.

Since she became Ontario Dairy Princess last summer at the Toronto Exhibition, Mary has been across Ontario from Windsor to North Bay, to Ottawa, to Lanark and Frontenac counties. Her first public appearance as Ontario Dairy Princess was at Lincoln County Fair in the St Catharines area in September. During the first week of October, she attended the World Dairy Exposition at Madison. Wisconsin, the largest show of its kind in the world, Mary was especially proud of her showing by Ontario Holsteins.

Ontario had five first place winners in what is considered the top show in the United States, drawing spectators from all over the world. In addition to individual winners, Ontario Holsteins won the important State Herd Class. On her visit to Lanark County last week, Mary was hosted by Pat Allan, daughter of Mr and Mrs David Allan, at the Allan family farm just off the Scotch Line near Perth, Pat was first runner-up in the Lanark County Dairy Princess Competition last summer.

As Debbie Tims, Lanark County Dairy Princess, was away on a familiarization tour to London on British Airways, Pat was pleased to accompany Mary during her stay in the county. Employed by Mississippi TraveService, Debbie on the tour would become familiar with transportation, hotels, theatres and other aspects of a visit to London. This would increase her knowledge in helping customers plan trips to London. read-Remember Debbie Tims? 1980 Dairy Princess–  Mississippi Travel 

Pat, 18, is a Grade 13 student at Perth and District Collegiate Institute. Following graduation from school she plans to study fashion merchandising at Seneca College in Toronto. Guests Mary and Pat were guests at a Rotary Club luncheon in Smiths Falls, Friday. The girls paid a visit to Rideau Public School, Smiths Falls, to make a presenation to the students on the dairy industry.

This was followed by a tour of the Balderson Cheese Plant and modern cheese store. Saturday, Mary and Pat took part in a press interview and luncheon. Both young women were guests of honor at the annual dinner dance of the Lanark County Milk Producers in the cafeteria of the Perth Collegiate Institute, Saturday night. The Ontario Dairy Princess was also present in the Ontario Milk Producers information tent at the International Plowing Match. During the year she expects to be back in Lanark again. Next summer Mary will visit England and attend dairy shows and other events in the British Isles. Feb 1981

Jim Metcalfe —- Metcalfe Dairy

A well-known and respected Almonte businessman and prominent member of the Almonte Lions Club, James Robert (Jim) Metcalfe, proprietor of Metcalfe Dairy for the past several years, passed away at the Almonte General Hospital on Friday, December 9th, 1977 at the age of 50 years. He had been in ill health for some time, Jim Metcalfe was a familiar figure to a great many Almonte residents.

Having been in the dairy business since 1945 he was well known both through his business’ contacts and his deep involvement with the Almonte Lions Club. Born in Almonte on June 12, 1927, he was a son of the late W. A. (Barney) Metcalfe who predeceased him on March 7th of this year and his wife, the late Mary Warren who predeceased him in 1960. Having received his education in Almonte public and secondary schools, Jim went directly into the family business following graduation.

On August 28, 1951, he was married in Almonte Presbyterian Church to the former Eileen Elizabeth New, who survives. A lp surviving are three sons: J. Edward] (Ted), George A., and John Ai, all of Almonte, and a daughter, Sharon Ann of Carleton Place. He is survived as welllby two sisters, Beth Wood of Toronto i n i Reta George of Toronto and Liverpool, England. j Much of Mr, Metcalfe’s spare time was spent serving with the Almonte Lions Club. He joined the organization in 1951, quickly becoming Lion Tamer, a position he held for many years.

He served as club president in 1956-57 and served as secretary for the past eight consecutive years prior to his death. It was in this capacity that Jim earneconsiderable respect both from his fellow club members and throughout District A-4. In 1972 he was presented with a special award by Governor Mack Hayes of Shawville as having been judged the best secretary in the District (covering all of Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec) and in 1976 Governor Morley James of Carleton Place presented Jim with the special Governor’s Appreciation Award in recognition of 25 years service to Lionism and the community.

Lions from all over the District attended a special gathering at the Gamble & Comba Funeral Home last Sunday evening. Funeral services for Mr. Metcalfe were held at the funeral home on Monday, December 12th at 2.00 p.m. Rev. Archie Manson conducted the services with interment at Auld Kirk Cemetery. Pallbearers included Cameron Smithson. John Leishman, John Rooney, Carson Johnson, Jack Virgin and Carl Sadler.

By an Almonte ‘Native’

To stimulate discussion and relive memories……

Listen! Do you hear that? The distinctive clopping sound of a horse’s hooves as it pulls a milk wagon slowly along the street. You hurry to the window and watch the horse as it pulls then stops, and then continues along the street repeating this routine without a single command of the man in charge. The driver would enter the cart as it rolled along or stopped to fill his container and proceed to houses along the route filling orders placed outside the doors. As a kid in the 1950’s, Saturday was the best because you retrieved your hidden small half pint bottle and 5 cents and purchased fresh chocolate milk (that’s if your brother or sister hadn’t already found it and used it to get their chocolate milk). Two drivers I remember from that time were Mr. Gerry Brown and Ken Waddell. The horse seemed to know just how long to wait at each stop. This practice of house delivery still occurs in Ireland and Scotland today but a truck has replaced the horse and cart.

Two dairies delivered daily (except Sundays) around the town. Strathburn Dairy located at the north end of Malcolm St. in the New England section of town and Metcalfe’s Dairy located on King St. next to present day Naismith School.

Do you remember in winter that if the milk sat too long outside it would freeze and extend upwards pushing the paper top up and out of the bottle? The first thing after bringing the milk inside was to carefully pour the cream that had settled at the top of the bottle into a separate container.

Milk was not the only item brought to your door by horse and cart. Mr. Arnold Newton, who lived on Victoria St. (his horse was kept in the shed in his back yard) delivered bread and goodies (including candy). His horse continued its route in the same manner as the milk horses. Mr. Newton used the Blacksmith services of Mr. H. Finner whose shop was located at the present day site of Blackburn’s Garage. Others used Mr. Hickey’s Blacksmith shop located on Water St. behind today’s Canadian Café. One of the smith’s at Hickey’s was father to Mr. Ted Lemaistre, long time Mayor of Carleton Place.

A stable located on Water St. just south of the Blacksmith shop contained the horses of Mr. Alf Stanley. Mr. Stanley with a helper (in my day a Mr. E. Bandy) collected the garbage using a team of horses and a large wagon. It was really something to witness them carefully place boxes around the perimeter of the wagon to hold the loose material that was placed into the middle on the wagon. They took great pride in the building of their collections. You would never see anything left carelessly behind nor along the street. When the wagon was full it then required a long drive up Martin St. to the Town Dump located off Martin where large communication towers stand today. Mr. Stanley had a system in the dump arranging where items would be placed. His son, Ross, followed his occupation as does his grandson Peter Stanley does today.

Finally we mustn’t forget the iceman. In my day Mr. Hutt with his horse and cart delivered ice to homes where a large block of ice was carried by tongs and placed in the top of an icebox which looked much like a wooden fridge lined with metal on the inside. The concept was that the coolness of the ice would flow over the articles in the icebox and keep them from spoiling too quickly. To make sure that this worked correctly one only opened the doors when absolutely necessary, especially on a hot day. In winter the family kept the icebox in the back shed and didn’t need to purchase much ice, if any, during the coldest months. Very few families in Almonte owned an electric fridge even though they had electricity in their homes. They were just too expensive!

It’s just not the same today, is it?

STRATHBURN DAIRY J. M. BROWN. ALMONTE. on Reverse Good for 1 Quart of Milk “

Sept 1971

One of Almonte’s oldest businesses. Strathburn Dairy, which has been owned and operated by James M. Brown and family for the past 27 years, has been sold to Mr. Fred Veenstra of Maple Leaf Dairy, Carleton Place. The sale became effective on September 15th. Customers are asked to note that deliveries will continue uninterrupted by the same route salesmen and delivery schedules will remain unchanged as well. The only change will be the addition of a weekly special presently being offered by Maple Leaf Dairy. For a time Mr. Veenstra will operate under the name Strathburn Maple Leaf Dairy. He purchased the Carleton Place operation January 1st of this year and prior to that was the distributor of Borden products in that area. Mr. Brown will continue to operate Strathburn Farm and his 20 head dairy cattle business. He purchased the business on August 1st, 1944 from Mr. Fred Forsythe who bought it from Mr. Archie Rosamond. It is believed to have been in the Wylie family prior to that, it has always been called Strathburn Farm.

Fred Veenstra

Throughout the years that I frequented the Maple Leaf Dairy, the chips began to be a little past their expiry date, and some things developed a film of dust over them, but that didn’t matter as you went there for Fred. Fred told me he had bought the building from Bill Rintoul in 1970 and at one point he had six drivers delivering through the area- even as far as Bells Corners and Stittsville. But, as we both discussed, sometimes you need to make changes in your business and Mike McNeely took over the delivery business in the 1980s, but Fred kept the store.

The Maple Leaf Dairy was open from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. each day, and no matter what time you went in Fred was standing behind the cash with a smile. I could never understand why he never married as he was a good looking man and always had a kind word and a smile. Sometimes he would hand out a dollar or two to those who needed it, and sometimes he would wave his hand in the air telling someone to pay him when they could. A more humbler generous man you could not find anywhere in the town of Carleton Place.

Sometimes he would laugh at my incessant playing of the lottery- but that was just between me and him. The day I heard of his death from liver cancer I cried- and after that I stayed on my side of the river to play my lotto. I knew how hard it was to run a business and thought Fred had deserved a whole lot better. But, even though I did not get to say goodbye to Fred I knew it was not forever, and it was definitely not the end. It simply meant that I would miss him until we meet again.

Jayne Graham Best ice cream cones..

Dawn Jones Fred Veenstra. Such a nice man. Always so helpful.

Angie MacDonald Cromlich Fred was a nice fella. I looked very forward to stopping by, whether it be with mom, my grandma, or running over from my aunt and uncle’s house that was across the street – I would walk in with a couple quarters and walk out with a bag full of penny candies. He was also open Christmas Day. Our family tradition was sharing scratch tickets….. The adults would have us kids running back and forth to buy more scratch tickets with our “winnings”. Ron MacDonald

Jo-Anne Drader Nelson On a Friday night all the kids in town would be on a mission. It was movie night at the Townhall. First stop was The Dairy. Kids would be lined out the door. We would all take turns choosing our penny candies from behind the counter. Fred would put them in small paper bags. You could get a lot of candy for a few cents back then.

Sandy Hudson Had many an ice cream from there!

Beth Sweeney I worked at the Maple Leaf Dairy when I was a very young teen (50 cents/hr) scooping icecream, making milkshakes. I don’t consume either of these to this day. Too exhausting selling so many for so long! Fun times tho! Bill Rintoul was the owner way back then. He kept alot of us neighbourhood kids employed over the years. Good memories.

Rick Redmond I remember a couple of the girls that worked there. From scooping ice cream, over time, their right arms got very strong, and they could beat a lot of guys at arm wrestling.

I’ve been looking for a Strathburn dairy bottle from Almonte for sometime now , today with help from Taylor Code and Ryan Goode we were able to find a few shards of some definitely nice to have these untill I can get an intact one. Adin Daigle

Strathburn Farm & Dairy, #Almonte. Phone 128W

The photo shows two horse-drawn dairy wagons, courtesy George Brown & Ian H. MacLean, who sent me photos & info, thank you!

Strathburn Dairy was located to the north of Malcolm and Strathburn Streets’ intersection, and was notable for Guernsey milk, which has more butterfat than milk from Holsteins.

The Dairy was started by the Rosamond Woollen Mill (date unknown). It was purchased by George Brown’s father, JM Brown, in 1944. Fifty-six head of cattle, a combination of Guernsey and Holstein, were milked twice daily. JM Brown was a Master Breeder and showed his cows in fall fairs including the Ottawa Winter Fair.

All milk cans and bottles were washed by hand. Tickets or tokens were used by customers to purchase milk. Cream was also sold. The dairy also had two DeLaval pasteurizers, an oil-fired steam boiler, a cream separator and homogenizers. In 1953, Strathburn Dairy put their first truck on a route. In 1956, the second and eventually a third truck. These were open pickup trucks. Any photos of these out there? Anyone?

Photo credits for bottle, bottle cap and token pics go to the North Lanark Regional Museum, thank you! Strathburn Dairy had specific tokens for Guernsey milk (brown below). The heart-shaped tokens were for Holstein milk

1967– 6 cents of whipping cream–October 15, 2020 · Wendy LeBlanc

I have so many memories of ‘The Dairy’ as we kids of the 1950s called it; it was around the corner from our home on James Street and we either shopped there or at least walked by it every day. The following are some random memories as they come to me:When Dad first came home from WWII, he didn’t go immediately to the promised job at Findlay’s Foundry, but worked delivering milk for the dairy for some months. Our milk was delivered daily from The Dairy, but occasionally Mum would send us over to buy a quart of milk; I clearly remember carrying the empty glass bottle with 2 dimes and a penny in it to buy the milk, which at that time was not homogenized. Mum either poured the cream off the top for another use or vigourously shook it to give us wonderfully rich whole milk.On Sundays following attending Church at Memorial Park United, we stopped off at The Dairy to buy a brick of Neapolitan ice cream, our staple dessert on Sunday noon. Very occasionally, we would walk over to The Dairy with a bowl and come home with it full of scoops of dipped ice cream for a special treat (we had only an icebox, so couldn’t store ice cream).In the 1960s, my sister Kathryn worked at The Dairy and brother Wayne and I expected extra large ice cream cones from her, and I am sure she gave them to us in fear – not of losing her job, but of us. Peggy Mace and I stopped at The Dairy almost daily on our way back to school after lunch to buy penny candy; Mrs. Saunders was working there and was very patient with us as we carefully and slowly selected our treats. While we were there, a well-dressed man (I think I know who it was but hesitate to say as I am not certain – but definitely a town business man) came into The Dairy every day and drank down a glass of Alka Seltzer; now that must have been some kind of a lunch he went home to! Our childhood neighbourhood territory was small, but our lives were enriched with businesses like The Dairy and the people who owned and worked there.Dale Costello Great memories, and stories of Maple Leaf Dairy. We were big time in CP with two dairies. Many a chocolate shake hand made by Ray Morrels mom. My Uncle, Lorne Aitken delivered bottled milk, and I helped on Saturdays– You can get Wendy’s book at the Carleton Place museum

Carol McDonaldI worked after school and weekends and some summer days when Mrs Saunders would take holidays for Bill and Ethel Rintoul and babysat their kids some evenings. Buttermilk was served by the glass , big ice cream cones were served to a line up of people especially on Sundays and many milkshakes all different flavours, penny candy, very busy most days!

Jan McCarten SansomDoug B. McCarten ..I remember ice cream cones and milkshakes, and especially time spent with my best friend Katherine Langtry, watching cartoons Saturday mornings in their home upstairs .. wonderful memories !

Doug B. McCartenJan McCarten Sansom in addition to all that I remember a Sealtest sign with feet LOL

John ArmourI got my milkshakes everyday (even through winter). Mrs. Nephin made the best ones.

Sandy FredetteDon’t know when it was originally built, but do know it’s being renovated now… my grandson is helping out on the project.

Jane CarnegieWent there daily on my way back to school for penny candy…would ho back after school with pop bottles to cash in for chips and more candy!

Derek Bowker

I remember walking home and stopping in for penny candies! Got BUSTED shoplifting when I was just a little kid! Parents got called and I had to go back and apologize! Life lesson!!!Renting Nintendo machines and games for the weekend! That place was LEGENDARY!!!

Meghan PookThe Dairy! We’d sneak off of Carambeck’s yard during lunch and buy 5¢ candies. I remember the heavy fridge door made of wood with latch style handle. That’s where the small cartons of chocolate milk were. The older gentleman who worked there usually reminded me of a cross between Mr. Dress-Up & Mr. Rogers in appearance but always struck me as stern. Probably b/c he was dealing with a gaggle of random school kids streaming through buying less then $1 worth of product. I loved the miniature brown paper bags we used for the candy. I loved the way the bell sounded when you entered. I loved the way it smelled in there – like dust and tobacco and something sweet. Good times.

Almonte the Creamery Town 1900….

Producers-Dairy-And-Flour-Mill almonte.com

December 1900

A Gazette scribe dropped around to the Almonte Creamery on Water street the other day, and found the manager, Mr. J. C. Jackson (a graduate of the Kingston Dairy School), and his assistant, Mr. Frank Ferguson, busy as nailers, packing up the product for the day. Mr. Jackson kindly showed the quilldriver around the premises, pointing out the process of manufacture, and showing the advantages it possesses over the ordinary dairy system.

 One strong point is its cleanliness. When the work of separating the cream had been accomplished the accumulation of extraneous matter that settled within the cylinder was something surprising, and was in itself a strong creamery, in which; the best of modern machinery and appliances have been installed, and everything seems to work to a charm. The upper story is used as a storehouse for butter boxes, etc.

The old boiler and engine have been removed, and ones are in their place, and furnish ample power for the purposes required. The receiving vats, the twin cream vats, the butter worker, the separator and the immense churning machine is the bets that money can buy.

The sudden death of Clare T. (Pete) Syme of R.R. 1, Almonte occurred a, the Almonte General Hospital at 12.30 a.m. on Monday, May 13, 1974, following but a few hours’ illness. He was 61. Clare farmed on the home farm at Bennie’s Corners, and also operated a milk truck route for several years, and for the fast two years was employed with Lindsay Farm Equipment in Almonte. Born in Ramsay Township on May 15, 1912, he was a son of Mrs. Mabel (Snedden) Syme, and the late, Peter T. Syme. He was a member of the United Church. He is survived by his wife, the former lone Boal, whom he married at Pakenham on June 10, 1942; his aged mother, Mrs. Peter T. Syme; a daughter Marilyn (Mrs. James Naismith) of Pakenham; a grandson, Matthew; and one sister, Myrtle (Mrs. Tom Nugent) of South March. Clare attended school at Bennie’s Corners on the 8th line of Ramsay and continued on in high school in Almonte. He was always ready to participate in sports during these years. He loved the game of ball and always found time to play the game. He used to practice at home on the farm by getting his younger sister, Myrtle, to throw the ball as hard as she could either at him or to either side and he would field it and fire it back at her, and through time Myrtle also became a most capable player and used to give Clare some tough hard throws to handle. As years went by, and particularly after the 1939-45 war when the different softball leagues got organized again, Clare helped organize and coach the “Almonte Garage” team which was sponsored by Gordon Hill in 1945, until 1948, and was then sponsored by George Gomme as “Gomme’s Lumber Kings,” which continued until about 1952, during which time they were North Lanark League champions on different occasions. Clare continued playing with other teams, some in Almonte and others in Pakenham until his early 50’s, and was always ready and willing to teach the younger players the many aspects of the game and fair play. He was a most capable umpire and performed this duty for many years. His personal contribution to the game of ball in this area has been unmeasurable, and he always did it most willingly. As a curler, Clare started with the old irons and continued on with the granites, and was President of the Almonte Curling Club on two different occasions. He was later presented with an honourary life membership pin by J. C. Smithson, the then president, for his contribution to the Almonte Curling Club in particular and curling in the valley in general. Clare represented Centre 24 in the Ottawa Valley as Centre Convenor for many years, which was a large responsibility and was most capably handled by him as he understood the many problems and pitfalls involved in scheduling the many competitions and events throughout the Centre. One competition that Clare was responsible for founding was the 10-pointer Mixed Bonspiel and was restricted to the Almonte curlers, except during the few years that Pakenham had ice problems, at which time they were included. All area curlers will understand and remember the great success this particular event became and the fellowship it created at the club level. In curling as in other sports, Clare always played to win, but in the event of a loss he took it gracefully and as a good sport but be would be ready for the return match. Clare really liked people and always had time to say “hello,” have a chat about last night’s hockey game or bet on tomorrow night’s game, and even give odds on certain occasions. Our community will miss this great sportsman and his contributions. The funeral was held from the Kerry Funeral Home, 154 Elgin street, Almonte, on Wednesday, May 15th, at 2.30 p.m., with burial at Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev. A. C. Dodds of Pakenham United Church conducted the funeral services. Pallbearers were Arthur Munro, Percy Timmins, Wilfred Lindsay, Jack C. Smithson, Donald Lockhart and Bill Boal.

The Duff Dairy Diphtheria Scare

The Ottawa Journal
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
01 May 1899, Mon  •  Page 7

The diphtheria bacterium was first identified in the 1880s and in the 1890s diphtheria antitoxin was developed in Germany to treat victims of the disease. The antitoxin is prepared after horses are injected with increasingly large doses of diphtheria toxin.

The board of health will probably report to-night ( May 1, 1899) whether due precautions were taken to secure immunity from the diphtheria case reported at Beckwith. It is believed here that Beckwith township may have a board of health, but it is not in a strong healthy condition at present .

The similarity in a name and location of residence in Beckwith, where there has recently been a death from diphtheria is said to be a misguided rumour and that it should be contradicted. It is not at the home of Mr. William Duff of Lakeside Dairy that the disease appeared, neither are the families related, nor is there any intermingling between them. Mr. Lewis Duff, of the Lakeside Dairy, has fully recovered from a severe case of pneumonia

Since the sickness occurred in the unfortunate family of Mr. W. H. Duff, and for some time previous, there has been no association in any way between any members of the two households. It is in this general interest that it should be made known that the dispenser of milk or other commodities, who are around town dally in their usual avocations, are entirely free from the slightest prejudicial taint la sanitary matters.

There is much sympathy for the family of Mr. W. H. Duff, of Beckwith, in which two more of the children have been laid up with diphtheria. Doctors reported the next morning that they were recovering. The Beckwith board of health will probably report tomorrow whether due precautions are being taken to secure immunity from diphtheria infection for the rest of Beckwith. A doctor has stated that diphtheria is six times as fatal to school children between the ages of five, and ten years as any other disease.

An outbreak of diphtheria is threatened in the local school and within the past thirty days eight cases have devoid amongst the pupils. The trustees and school authorities are at a loss to account for the outbreak of the dreaded disease, and they are positive that the sanitary arrangements or the school building are not accountable for it. Precautions are being taken to prevent the further spread of the disease.

When I Say Whoa–I Mean Whoa–The Dairy Horse

Lost Ottawa

· August 24, 2017 ·  

The Clark Dairy Man, delivering the milk somewhere in Ottawa in his horse-drawn wagon.

Unfortunately, no date on the picture. Going by the chassis, it would seem to be late 40s or early 50s.

I’ve heard that the horses would move along the street by themselves as the milkman went door to door, so the milkman didn’t have to return to the wagon again after every household. One of those ancient rhythms …

(CSTM CN-4986)

This week I posted about Dairy horses on Facebook and people loved the memories. No story of the Clark Dairy in Ottawa could be complete without reference to their very fine horses, which was the pride and job of Mr. Clark and every member of the staff in the Dairy.

In the the 1920s when the Clark Dairy began business they started in a very modest way. Their plant at the corner of Bronson Avenue and Imperial in Ottawa was small, but sufficient for the business they then enjoyed. Their delivery system consisted solely of two wagons.

In the 1930s, a handsome new two-storey building teemed with activity; and thirty-five wagons were needed to cover the city, with seven handsome streamlined motor wagons.

The barns, situated many blocks from the Dairy plant, were just as fresh and spotless as busy hands could make them. There 34 splendid horses: Percherons and Clydesdales were as meticulously groomed as any local society beauty. They stood like sentinels as “the white stockings” gracing their legs were soaped and washed and hooves polished. Coats were combed and brushed until they glistened. The barn included five splendid prize winning animals and the famous Dark Secret, a prize winning champion of the Central Canada Exhibition, and four consecutive times a prize winner at the Royal Winter Fair, in Toronto.

Every day was a show day for the Clark Dairy horses, and the horses knew the route better than the drivers. The red and white delivery wagons were kept immaculate. Clark Dairy was a self sustaining concern, having its own staff of painters, horseshoers and mechanics, so that every necessary job was given attention. Mr. George J. Scandrett. the office manager, had a wide experience in the dairy business and was a former member of the Ontario Milk Board.

how to curry hooves

The Clark Dairy horse handlers felt that horses were a lot like humans in feelings and habits. They knew when it was time for their feeding, they also know when it was time for them to return to the stable. The handlers also had to know what types of shoes the horses wore in the various seasons. A Dairy horse’s shoe was made of hard rubber around a steel form. Some horses wore their shoes longer than others and some wore their shoes out in two months. When the streets were icy in the winter time, the horse wore a special type shoe with prongs that dug into the ice for a firm hold. These kept the horse from falling. But, often times, the horse slipped even with these shoes on. They had to curry them each day to keep them looking nice and had to be extra careful about their shoes. Walking on pavement everyday of the week was hard on a horse until he they get used to it.

The Clark Dairy horses were said to be the best in the business, as they knew every stop on the route and it took them only two days to learn a new customer stop. They had one horse that apparently had too much fire for a Dairy horse and smashed up the first five wagons he was attached to. As a last resort they sent him to a mud clogged Ottawa Street usually handled by a two horse team. That horse was a good worker for the Clark Dairy and did his job for two horses and never lost a minute starting up just as the milkman returned from the porch. Horses of course could master terrible roads, which was a bane to the delivery service.

The Dairy horses got bushels of presents every Christmas from the Clark Dairy customers. Lumps of sugar, carrots and apples and even when there was sugar rationing the horses were thought of first before family along the route. Bakeries were a great favourite of the delivery horses and sugar buns were fed to some every day. On Sundays these business were closed and some of these horses would not budge waiting for their treat and they would stamp their feet on the sidewalk demanding their sugary treat.

According to the Ottawa Citizen there was a Clark Dairy horse, back in 1946, who every day peered expectantly through the windows of the post office canteen in the basement of the Langevin Block, to the great amusement of civil servants. The horse had a reason for his Peeping Tom tactic. Seems the driver used to scoop up a handful of sugar cubes from a convenient bowl on the canteen counter, with which to treat his faithful horse. The animal nuzzled the window pane daily to remind him! 

Good delivery horses were scarce and eventually they disparaged the horse and saluted the automobile. The blacksmiths that worked for the Clark Dairy ended up changing oil and greasing trucks. Although the automobile certainly eliminated piles of manure that clogged some streets, it introduced a whole new set of global carbon complications. In the end the demise of horse power and the ascent of the automobile illustrated two characteristics of energy transitions: they don’t always solve problems and rarely perform as advertised.

Carleton Place Dairy Horses

Bill Crawford Harold Forbes & Flossie delivered our milk from the Carleton Place Dairy. I remember feeding her carrots from our garden, and apples from our neighbours tree.

Norma Ford Bill Crawford – your post brings back so many memories of Harold Forbes and his milk wagon. Holding onto the back bumper in winter and sliding with the ride. Harold stopping and chasing us away. He always gave us a ride first until he figured we were too far from home. Happy memories.

Jaan Kolk16 hrs · EditedEastern Ontario history has enough Clark’s Dairies to make your head spin. Linda.

In 1913, John Clark of Eastview took action to force Clark’s Dairy Ltd., which had taken over the business of Patrick Clark of Lake Deschenes to change it’s name (“Silver Springs Dairy Farms” was chosen.)

In 1919, H.J. Clark was manager of Clark’s Dairy, 185 Lyon Street, before he moved to Smith’s Falls to form Clark’s Sanitary Dairy there.

In 1920, Clark’s Dairy – said to have it’s origin in the 1850s – was merged into Producers Dairy and the Clark Dairy name disappeared from Ottawa until Harry J. Clark returned from Smiths Falls to start a new Clark’s Dairy in Ottawa. (According to Bruce Elliott, Harry’s brother Albert “Ab” Clark operated a separate firm from his farm at City View.)

I hope I’ve made that clear enough so someone can explain it to me 😉

Here is Citizen note from July26, 1920, on the old Clark’s Dairy merging into Producers. (E.W. Clark was Harry’s uncle.)
