Baby poultry are a common source of Salmon...
This weekend marks the start of Daylight Savings Time across the U.S. when we set our clocks forward an hour, or “Spring Ahead” on Sunday morning at 2 a.m. Germany and Austria were the first countries to use Daylight Savings Time in 1916, but few know that a few hundred Canadians beat the German Empire by eight years. In 1908, Port Arthur, Ontario, now known as Thunder Bay, turned their clocks forwards for the first time on July 1. Germany and Austria, who were allies during WWI, started Daylight Savings Time to minimize the use of art...
