ffih4fo the georgetown herald wednesday evening may 2 1 at 1941 interesting items give attention to broody hens unless broody hens axe given special attention to break them at the instinct to hatch their usefulness as egg pro ducers will be lost for many weeks jf they are left to clutter up the nests they interfere with the layers and are often the cause of broken and soiled if hens are reproved from the nests t the first signs of broodmess they can be brought back into production in a ttfctte over a week a good plan to follow is to have a three or four com partment pen with a slat bottom and wire sideseach section large enough to hold several hens go over the nests the last thing at night and put any broody bens in the pen as the air will be free to circulate around the turns they will be broken of the habit fcx about three days when they should be let out while the hens are shut op in the pen they should be well fed with laying mash and grain and plenty of fresh water once broken of the desire to brood a hen will in all like- je down to consistent pro- jnen put a coloured leg l hen when she starts to go broody if she goes broody again they change the colour of the band tols provides a baste for culling later nsumrnon and bacon exports the domestic consumption of pork in canada from all indications has been at a high level jn recent months compared with normal requirement states the may issue of the current review of agricultural conditions in canada despite the present high le vel of hog production the high rate of domestic consumption coupled with the movement of hogs and products to the united states made it some what difficult to secure sufficient ex port bacon to fill the original con- trace requirements of eight million pounds weekly to great britain plus the recent additional requests of sb million pounds foe the year how ever the increase in export bacon pri ces announced on may 2 should over come this difficulty and may be ex pected to stimulate hog production during 1942 because of the resulting improvement in the hog feed ratio some provincial governments have already token steps to stimulate pro duction of desirable types of hogs by the payment of additional bonuses for quality carcasses the 1941 wheat acreage reduction policy recently an nounced by the dominion government may have the effect of further en oouraglng the production of hogs in western canada the outlook for hogs in canada during 1941 42 will be clarified when further indications of great britain s bacon requirements for 1942 have been received and when es timates

hogs slaughtered in approved plant after may 5 the subsidy applies on carcasses graded in packing plants where a dominion government grader is in charge of grading or in smaller plants which have been approved by the on tarip government these plants wortc in co operation with the dominion graders grading is according to dominion standard to receive the subsidy the farmer must have his hogs identified so that the carcasses can be graded and a grading certificate can be issued in his name in addition he must se cure from the drover or shipper a grading certificate signed by the grader next he is to secure an ap plication form from his shipper pack ing plant or agricultural representa tlve to be attached to grading certlfl cates and forwarded to the hog sub sidy division of the

districts orders then came with a rush and seed cleaning plants were operating night and day in wame districts in order to meet the demands when the inquiries for seed grain were so slow in march and early april many growers who had a lot of good grain on hand hesitated about going to the expense of grading it how ever the last minute buyers of seed grain have materially stepped up the business for many growers seed barley found ready sale erban oats were rather slow sale while car tier oats found a ready ale in wes tcm ontario mccormick lindberghs backer attacking president roosovolt f

ministry would have preferred the whole shipment to have been grade a but knowing it would be impossible to get all top grade eggs a compromise on the 6040 per cent basis was made if the prevention of hens from scav enging were more generally followed by poultry keepers and plenty of good feed were provided there would be a much greater percentage of grade a eggs available for both the export and domestic markets many eggs that ordinarily would be graded a are put into b grade because of being soiled this is to often the result of allowing the hens to run in muddy yards and return to the nests

of clean dlresh water be kept before the hock at all umes quality and grade if the greatest returns are to be ob tained eggs must be grade a and to do this they must be clean and be pro duced by properly fed hens hens should not be allowed to range the barnyard and obliged to drink from filthy pools neiuier should they be allowed into muddy yards in the early part of the day during which time most of the eggs are laid a hen en terlng a nest with muddy feet will al most certainly soil any eggs that are in the nest thus reducing their grade a good plan is to keep the birds con fined to the house until the afternoon or early evening if they have two or lhree hours range before going to roost they will get sufficient green feed to keep them in health and if the litter in the house is kept clean as it should be the danger of soiled eggs is largely removed males as soon as the breeding season 1 past remove all males from the pens as infertile eggs retain their quality much better than those that have been fertilized soiled eggs should be re tained until after the spring flush of laying any healthy pullet will lay sufficient to more than pay for its feed during this period and thus will help to defray the cost of her keep up to this time keep the hens free of lice and the house of mites an occasional painting of the underside of the roost with nic oline sulphate will keep the birds free of lice h mites are present there will be grayishwhite deposits round the cracks and crevices of the roosts nesto and walls when the mites are en gorged with blood they will be red when they are present in large num bers egg production will be greatly reduced or may cease a thorough house cleaning is immediately indica ted farm cash income likely to be higher cash income from the sale of farm products during the first half of 1941 the corresponding period in 1940 states the latest issue of the current review of agricultural conditions in canada marketings of most of the important farm products are running well above marketings a year ago in the prairie provinces the deferring of wheat marketings in the fall of 1940 has resulted in greater deliveries in the spring of 1941 and cash income is higher than in 1940 increases in he marketings of hogs have mare than offset lower prices while both the vol ume of cattle marketings and the pri ces received are above those of a year ago dairy products are likewise bringing higher prices with a greater volume of production with further increases in consumer putchastng power during the next few months it is expected that the cash income of farmers will continue to in crease over 1940 fruit and vege table growers live stock and poultry- producers and dairymen will receive the greatest benefits from the increa sed iiywn during the last six monlos of 1941 farm cash income will be affected by the size and delivery of the 1941 wheat crop decreases m income from wheat in this period wilt be offset by government payments for compiance with the acreage reduction program it is likely however the cash income far the country as a whole- will be higher than in the correspond ing period of 1940 as increases in in come from
