waste the wartime prices and trad board have fixed the maximum whole sale- price of butter in any place in canada at the maximum wholesale price prevailing locally on dec 12th 140 it is a sad blow to the profi teers but it meets with the general approval of housewives tn anrlounalng the pegging of but ter prices the board stated that such a step has been under cortsideration for weeks but action has been with held in the hope that the gradual in creasing prices would attract unports sufficient to meet any shortage fear- ad the board states that statistics re veal that stocks of butter hi canada tit present are lower than normal and with a tendency toward increased consumption due to ex pur- miig power the individual con sumer should use special care and economy during the coming winter housewives restaurant and hotel proprietors and ah other users of but ler are urged by the board as a pat riotic duty to avoid waste and un necessary use of butter it is point ed out that the people of great bri tain are restricted to two ounces of flutter each week whereas normal canadian consumption is four or five times the present british weekly al lowance the boards order went into iffect a couple of weeks ago it is cja- templated that the present maximum twice will remain in effect until tow d the end of the winter season medicinal plants and herbs in wartime in wartime there is a general desire to make a contribution to the war effort no matter how mall that con tribution may be it is being suggest ed continuously that one such contri bution might be the collection and

glvingmore attention to the economical feeding of their cows and many are wondering what they can do to cut down feed costs the im portance of this phase or dairy pro duction may be realised- when it is remembered that the feed is approxi mately fifty per cent of the total cost of milk production the feeding practices which have been found satisfactory at the cen tral experimental farm ottawa states c d mackenzie division of animal husbandry may be of assist ance to many farmers particular at tention is paid to the amount and quality of the hay that is grown and fed a special effort is always made to provide sufficient legume roughages such as alfalfa and red clover and thus a large part of the protein need ed is supplied in this portion of the ration the hay fed is of good quali ty early cut and wellcured since this type of hay is higher tn protein than late cut poorlycured hay whan ne cessary the making of legume silage may be considered this in addition 10 ihe usual corn silage provided the protein content of the meal mixture used is adjusted to the kind and quality of the roughage on hand it is kept in mind that when large amounts of proteinrich concentrates ire purchased they involve a consider able cash outlay therefore as large i part as possible of the protein in the ration is grown on the farm and thus a marked saving is made when feeding alfalfa or clover hay the meal mixture contains approximately 16 per cent protein and an example of such mixture is ground oats 300 pounds ground barley 200 pounds corn gluten feed 100 pounds bran 100 pounds and linseed oilmeal or ground soybeans 100 pounds note that this mixture is made up of 500 pounds of homegrown grains 200 pounds of mill feeds and 100 pounds of high protein concen trates however if mixed hay only is available the mixture is raised to about 20 per cent protein and it ight be made up of ground oats 300 pounds ground barley 200 pounds bran 200 pounds soybean oilmeal 100 pounds and linseed oilmeal or ground soybean 100 pounds as a general rule one pound of meal mixture la fed dally for every four pounds of milk produced this amount depends however on a number of factors such as the butterfat content of the milk the total amount of milk produced by each cow and her condition and stage of lactation au cows are provided with sufficient salt which may be included in the meal at the rate of 2 per cent or placed in front of the cows at all times if the cows are milking heavi ly or the quality of the hay is poor it is advisable to supply them with feed ing bone meal in like manner and amount to that of salt extra attention too la given to pas ture management problems and to the advisability of supplementary pasture crops so that complete rations for both summer and
