painful de horning of later years is not a necessity has been lately i british cattle market re published by request moisten the spot on the calfs head where the beginning of the horn is felt then rub lightly till red with caustic potash not breaking the skin we have often done this and never observed anything like suffering on the calfs part except a slight shaking of the head for a very few minutes it should be done before the calf is two weeks old the younger the better the following in this connection is worth knowing the pain from the use of caustic potash yields quickly to the

whereby the sex or the chicks can be influenced during incubation by use of slight pressure slight vacuum and temperature range the resulting hatch is consistently around 80 per cent pullets to 20 per cent cockerels the method is the result of fifteen years experimental work and has been patented by the hatchery in both can ada and the united states under the usual treatment the resulting hatch is generally around fifty fifty whereas the new method has continually been producing on an eighty twenty ratio prior to this discovery the common be lief was that the sex or the fertilized egg was fixed

success or failure of our live stock business in canada will be large ly dependant on our abilty to main- stock branch ont dept of agricul ture toronto in perhaps no other line of live stock production have we been subject to more changing con ditioiu from time to time than has been experienced with our beef cattle our normal annual surplus of cattle approximates million head and these constitute one of our greatest problems where and how are they to be marketed unlike our hog in dustry where surplus hogs are pro cessed at home and exported in the finished product our cattle under present conditions must be export ed alive our two great markets are great britain and the united states each has its advantages and disadvantages when considered over a length of time the british market in the main offers more permanency of out look in that it offers a market regu lated largely by economic conditions and competition and is ont likely to be subjected to such violent changes largely political as is the market in the united states the latter market is close by and transportation is no problem as is the case at times in following is a copy of a will written i shipping to

8 v i the georgetown herald they tell the story of mussolini playing bridge with his foreign mini ster count galeaaxt ciano against his majesty the king and dino grandl italian ambassador to eng land grandl opened the bidding with four hearts clano bid five spades the kins looked at his hand carefully chuckled and bid seven no trump mussolini glared at the other three players and thundered and i benito mussolini bid one club grandl said i pass clano said i pass and the king well he looked at his hand wistfully and said me too endurance test situ illustrated by the fact that from 1930 to 193 the duty was 3c per lb then by agreement the duty was lowered to 2c per lb on cattle over 700 lbs and in 1939 a further lowering to uc per lb on a maximum quarterly quota of 51 720 head during this period the duty on beef remained constant at 6c per lb thus effectively keeping out of the us market canadian beer it is therefore apparent that our producers are at a disadvantage to the extent of the duty in competing with american producers on ameri can markets unless our production cacls can be kept lower records indicate over a period of years that as producers we have taken advantage of the us and tjjl mar kets according as they were profitable and we were permitted to do so this lack of permanent policy has made impossible the development of a national steer as compared with our national bacon hog first the american market is interested in good type feeder cattle which are pur chased in western canada at times they will also take heavy finished cattle which in any large volume would ordinarily present a problem if left for disposal on our domestic mar ket am encouragement to the de velopment or the latter branch of the industry is somewhat dangerous as this type and weight of cattle must in the main be exported thp british market has always public opinion is fast reaching a stage where the principle of health in surance is ready for acceptance in all provinces consideration is being given to various methods of ensuring medla cal care for tow income groups hi particular the problem is one that is being attacked not only by public- spirited laymen but also by the medi cal profession in the united states state medical tspclatlon have cooperated v farm security administration plans have been developed through wltlch more than 112 000 low income farm families in 23 statesare being helped to obtain medical care at a cost which they can afford the health program has been port of a project to rehabilitate 700 000 such families the administration found that good health was a beter credit risk than a family in bad nealth the medical care plans are simple they are based on the borrowe- s abil ity to pay for medical services as de termined by his farm plan on free choice or participating physicans and on the setting- aside or funds in the hands of a trustee at the beginning of the operating period the amount paid for participation varies in different localities the usual payment is between si5 and 30jkyear per family when necessary the farm security administration will increase the size of its loan to enable a borrow er family to participate the details vary but under the plan in most gen era use a part of the pooled funds held by the trustee is allocated for hospitalization and emergency needs including surgical care at the begin ning of each period the rema nmg fund is then divided into monthly al lotments for the period covered these facts were recently considered by the medical society of nova scotia which showed its interest in the move ment for health insurance by nvltlng an address by dr r c williams chief medical officer of the farm security administration the plan ie said encouraged a sane acceptance of pre ventive medicine most families felt the security worth the investment while the physicians were pleased to receive at least a substantial part of the cost of medical care o the effect of soil erosion erosion is probably the greatest sin gle raclor causing loss of soil fertility a targe percentage of the available plant food in soil is present in the weathered surface layer and may be permanently lost through the removal of that layer by erosion a familiar example may be observed in the ioss of productivity caused by the forma uon of gullies the loss which accom panies the gradual uniform emo al of surface soil by sheet erosion may be less apparent than in gully in but is no less real the effect of sheet erosion in reduc ing soil fertility is clearly demonstra ted by the results of an experiment which has been in progress fo four years on the central experimental farm ottawa states wm dickson or the field husbandry division li this mr crlmm so o i have at ion with m friends mrs long supplied

crops the value of the wheat oats and barley produced in the period mentioned was 3238 859 730 for wheat 768 100 026 for oats and 26b84 483 for barley a total of 4403844238 or 7lfi per cent of the
