this thought may occur to visitors at the forth coming international ploughing match which will be held at st thomas ont under the auspices of the on tario ploughmen s association on oc tober 15 to is inclusive the meet ing will be truly representative of modern agriculture as heretofore and it will be noted that although more than 600 000 worth of the latest types of agricultural and domestic tune- saving machinery will be shown the ancient arts connected with the horse and the plough have their own 1st- srtant place there are the plough j matches two horse shows with over 700 fine animals on exhibit and there are the horse shoeing and horse shoe making competitions the horse is still an important fac tor on the farm the onrush of a mechanical age has not relegated him to obscintty nor has it stilled the brawny arm of the farrier smith as will be teen when horse shoes are forged and fitted within a time limit of 55 minutes on the third day of the bdrse shoeing competitions which will lie held on october 16th nth and 18th prom the day the first horse was imported into canada on june 20 1647 at tadoussac quebec horse shoeing has been a canadian specl alty and no country in the world has supplied more famous horse shoers and narness horse champions racers than canada in proportion to popu latlon in short the canadian horse man always has had in mind the flf teen points of a

for re placement or as they are generally known blocker and feeder cattle prices of such cattle have kept re markably close to prices being paid lor slaughter stock purchases on stock yards for return to the country for further feeding so far this year accounted for almost 100 000 head an increase of 30 000 over the correa ponding period last year according to the ma kettng service dominion de parttnent of agriculture there has also been a much heavier movement of calves back to country points ship tnents this year many of them con sdstlng of stocker calves weighing be tween 250 and 300

well finished cattle on the major markets next winter and spring may be expected sunlight fo late summer pigs it is important that late summer pigs be exposed to plenty of sunlight in order to assure

were needed which it is not the recent analysis on finishing chickens for market based on expert ments at the central experimental farm ottawa emphasized the fact that crate feeding of chickens at rcasting age produces the best marke stock that pen fattening is a reason ably good substitute where crate fat tening may not be easily possible and that killing birds directly off rang should be avoided if at all posslb e except with capons which are usually reasonably fat on range it is only the exceptional bird which is sufficiently fat to make top market grades without some fattening treatment says h 8 gutteridge dl vision ol poultry husbandry domln ion experimental farm service re cent tests show that very few birds at roaster age are sufficiently fat to enter the top grades without some fat tening rratment birds which wee rattened at that stage gained three times as much during a two week period as did a comparable group left on range not only was this the case but the greater gain was made on ap proximately the same feed consump tion exclusive of the liquid skim milk fed in fattening indicating that the birds on range used up a much greater proportion of their feed to maintain activity and body temperature both of which added nothing to their ul tlmate market value while the gain was three tfines greater for the crate fattened birds its value was approximately five times greater owing to the fact that the grading of the crate fattened birds was greatly improved bringing a higher pi ice per pound for the weight gained in the final analysis ne profit due to crate fattening in this experiment was approximately 24 cents per bird after feed costs had been deducted the cost of the fat tening crates and of additional labour mu t be deducted from this figure to arrive at an exact assay of crate feed ing in crate feeding the birds are con fined to simply constructed fattening crates details of which may be ob talned on request from the poultrv husoaijdry division best results from crate feeding are obtained from feed lng a mixture of finely ground home grown grain or finely ground grain all feeds are given wet that is mu ed to i poultice like batter with but ter milk or skim milk the best fat tening grains are oat groat white o vellow corn buckwheat wheat oats and barley in-the- ordernamed the flrrt three are outstanding with wheat intermediate and oats and bar ley least satisfactory may be less beef on market this fall a study of marketing figures for 1940 up t the end of september brings to light the interesting fact that the average weight of all the cattle sold during the past two to three months on stock yards shows quite a sharp decline from the average weight din ing the simmer of 1030 a number of factors have caused this says the marketing service dominion depart ment of agriculture among them is the fact that prices for stocker and feeder catuetsve been tilgr tn ela tlon to prices for finished cattle this of course has had the effect of attracting larger numbers of these unflntohd animals to market in addition the weights of slaughter cattle have been a little lower ap parently the result of a toend tow ard a demand for smaller meat cute on top of una and especda in western canada the sale of stocker cattle has provided the ready cash to meet the financial gr of har vesting the large crops grown this year the result of an this is likely to be a smaller amount of beef avail- we tor omwnpoon this year in sptte of grsrtcr numbers of cattle being marketed splendid show by helton holstein breeders held at
