return from great britain where he scanned prospe markets for ontario farm products if we may judge from the experi ence of the last war and the trendi the past few days we may look higher prices nwturauy it will all be cam for the farmer higher pri ces he will no doubt obtain but higher wages and higher purchase values will oorifront him thaw is every llkeu- hcod that his net inoome will expand that these higher returns should be brought about because of a war of na tions in which we are vitally concerned is hot the happiest thought we must however face conditions as they exist in a practical commonsense way recent developments naturally cause us to fht our eyes upon great britain as an enlarged market for our surplus farm oonwnodlues from my own ob servations recently made x would say that whether in peace or in war we should always look to britain as our one secure and lasting market for beef bacon livestock dressed poulty ched dar cheese canned goods honey and tobacco leaf in saying this i am not underesti mating by any means the value of nearer markets such as that of the un ited states but we should never fall to keep a grasp and indeed a very firm grasp of the british market for tbees cormnodlues of which we have an exportable surplus and for which in great britain there is a demand sacrifices may also have to be made if the war is a long one international appeals may be made to stress tion of certain farm crops i i ildent that all appeals of a provincial or national character in the uncertain days that lie before us will be loyally responded to by our ontario farmers the british people are worthy of it efficiency in farm operations and cooperation in state demands consti tute a matter of duty to ourselves and to the empire i know the ontario

account should squash to the least poultry problems the immediate problems of the poul try industry 4n the immediate future appear to rest in the field of market ing and these problems are made more difficult by virtue or the fact that they lie in the export rather than in the domestic field quantity and continu ity of supply as well as quality must be maintained both canadian eggs and poultry are held in high regard in the united kingdom lack in continu ity of adequate supplies however has prevented the industry from taking encouragement arises from the fact full advantage of all the possibilities that the increasingly serious attention of both commercial and departmental interests is being given to the matter the adequate realization of a problem is after all the first essential step to its solution dr g s h barton dep uty minister of agriculture for can ada in the osta review care of colts this is the time of year when colts foaled last spring are being weaned livestock men agree that a little extra care before the early fall is most im portant for the future growth of the colt proper development induced by proper feeds makes a strong healthy horse in later years on the dominion experimental farms where many methods or feed ing have been tried out it has beei found to be good practice to get the colt eating grain as soon as possible either from the mares grain box trom a creep in the pasture two- thirds whole or rolled oats and one- third bran is the mixture recommen ded it helps to build both bone i muscle the colts should be fed three to five pounds daily from weaning un til one year of age good horsemen have long since rea lised the value or fresh skim milk to colts after weaning it is safe to give irom four to five quarts daily along with the grain colts do well on clean bright hay preferably mixed timothy and clover during the winter months two o four pounds of mangels turnips or carrots help digestion and healthy growth the salt box should be kept filled and the colts given plenty of ex ercise prevent nwrcmt by the fln the trutt may be token off the plant pumpkins and squash should be stored in a dry place at a temper of from 40 to so

equipment to clean milk cans pails and other dairy utensils thoroughly with steam or scalding water chemi cals may be used with good results repeated tests have shown that it is not enough to just wash or rinse dairy utensils with clean water something has to be done actually to kill the bac teria in the cans or pails experiments carried out by the dominion depart ment or agriculture indicate that chlo rine compounds now on the market in either liquid or powder form are effec uve if directions are carefully followed while chlorine sterilization is cheap convenient and effective it does not take the place of thorough cleansing the first step is to rinse the utensils with cold or lukeworm water then scrub vigorously with a stiff brush us ing hot water containing salt soda or any good dairy cleanser finally give a rinsing in clear water and put the pails or cans on a drying rack to dry until next milking time sterilization with chlorine is done just before milking one pall is rilled with clear cold water and the proper amount of chlorine added this is stir red and allowed to stand is the pail for a quarter of a minute the solu tion is then poured into the next pail until all the utensils used are treated each should be drained before coming in contact with the milk no taint of chlorine has ever been noticed on the milk in palls so treated and marked improvement in the
