An attexnpt has been made in tee serica ta present the out- standing results learned from thee Ontario dalry form study. Re- search, la tels farin management field, shows thot farming has changed from a self -sufficient mode of living ta a hlghly com- merciallzed industry.* A large amount ai capital ls lavolved in tee operotion ai a dalry farm.

To meet tee firat necessary expense thee !arm enterprise needs ta be well organiîzcd and operoted ta ensure suffient grass revenue ta meet' ia very profitable ta feed hoga tels year, has aggravated the unsuit- ability ai teese hoga. It has be- came necessary ta take dastic steps ta discourage tee production of these off-type, off-weight hoga. The tendency ta fecd an unbal- ancêd ration and ta feed too much o! the fattening feeda is affecting The shoulder cut of the same hog as cuts No. 1 and 2, showlng excessive fat. Note the Infiltration of fat ln thse Jean meat whlch s"olia even this Part. loin weighted 18% lb. 83/4 lb. fat was trimmced off, lcoving a 93/4 lb. a! loin, tee difference being fat that must be rendcred inta lard. The shoulder wcighed 193/ lb. To make it edible, 73/ lb. fat had ta be trimned aff. Instead o! a normal .18 lb. shoulder, ail sale- able, tee packer had a 12 lb. shaulder ta sel, and nota veryj gaod one elteer. The remalning loin and shoul- dem wemc not a! a quality ta be cured. Thcy had ta be sold 1acally in tee fresh park trade, and even wite ail tels trimxning it was stilli "fat park" - nat the kind the housewlfe lices ta buy. Fat can be trlmmed off the outside, but it1 con't be taken from between thee meat layera. Na matter what la done, teese piga make iferiar1 park and the housewi!e wants meat, nat fat. and cut for teem. It is intercsting1 ta note teat teese producers who came ta sec went home dissatis- fied with the kind o! hoga teey are producing. As is pointed out elsewhere ln this article, 429,241 hoga, ar 22.0%Y o! thee.1938 Conodian hog crop, were avoidably undesiable. Few, if any, a! teese hogs could go into tee British bacon trade. Thcy have ta be trlmmned and sold as cuts. Their preparatian and dis- position la wasteful and castly. They make lower grade products that compete with and undermine1 quality products. They are a men- acing factor la the Canadian hog business to which the fariner must give seiaus considematian. The time has c9me ta reduce butchers and heavies ta a mini- mum. The abundance o! feed, whichl tee quality o! all kinda o! hoga and la naturaily moat marked la tee hogs thot tend moat ta tee fat type or become fatter as teey get hcavy. The discounts on teese hoga scarcely offset their law value as compared ta standard and premiuni haga. Eiteer teese- discounts had ta be inposed or tee basic price o! ail hoga had ta be lowered. Praducers gave no notice teat teey wauld aggravate tee difficul- tics by avem-finishing hoga o! poor quality and carrying more haga ta heavier weights. They did it be- cause teey thought tee existing discounts on teese grades stfi left a nice profit. It became nec- essary to imxnediately take thee stepa equired ta arreat tee atten- tion o! such producers ond in the latereat o! ail other producers ta correct tee discounts. them and ta provide a desirable1 standard of living for the operator and hisfamuly. Some milk pro- ducers have succeeded in doing this in every clairying locality of Ontario, for the reason they have applied business. principles ta the opemation of their farms. The modern successful farmer has corne ta understand the econ- omic principles which underUe his business. He bas applied measures ta learn the weak points o! his farm operation and is niaking or has made adjustments accord- ingly. The Ontario dairy farm. study, i its first year, bas shown that a high rating, i one or more. of the five farm management factors, is essential ta economlc success. These five factors relate ta size o! business, crop yields, livestack or livestock product production, the use of labour and the use of capi- tal. The average operator labour earnings, of 362 whole milk ship- pers of Ontario, for the year end- cd June 30, 1937, were $566. The f arms which rated above average in anc factor, yîelded labour earn- ings of $682 and those which rated above average in two factors, provided labour earnings of $806. Above average rating in three factors, provided labour earnings of $1,294, in four factors of $1,560 and ln five factors of $1,923. The cost of producmng 100 pounds of milk was correspondingly reduc- ed as above average rating was attained in one or more of the five AUl farmers aim ta be five point farm managers. The Economadcs Division, Marketing Service, Do- minion Department o! Agricult- ure, Ottawa, and the Economics Department, Ontario Agricultural Coilege, Guelph, who have- given co-operation in this project, will be glad ta provide information that may be of assistance ta farm- ers towards attaining the five fac- tor goal.

But Nature is no respecter o! things, On the julst and unjuat she raina, And the briars and weeds and the dread poison plants, She feeds as she does all the grains.

INSTITUTE FOR BLIND STR1'l"ICTLYCANADIAN The Canadian National Institute for. tee Blind has a long naine, but it la a name which accurately deseribes tee organization ta which it is attached. It is Cana- dian, in its officers, its cons;titu- tion and viewpoint. It aperates1 under a charter ganted by the Canadian Government. It is na- tional. Its fieldt includes the en- tire nation. There is no portion of Canada in which its work is not carried on. .It is an Institute for tee Blind, not of the blind. 'It enlist thee support and interest of seeing people as well as of blind people, and its operations are carmîed on for the benefit of blind people. The Canadian National Institute for tee Blind is exactly what its title imples; a comprehensive or- ganization, natian-wide in scope, functioning in every way discov- erable for the purpase of assisting blind people in all easonable en- deavor, bath in tee matter of making a living and, in impraving their educational standards, their soMeal condition and their physi- cïwell being.

Thèse divisions, althaugh close- ly co-operating with tee national body terough tee National Coun- cil, are self-supporting and- auton- omous in their govemnmertt. They raise tee money expended in their respective areas, and spend thee moncy witein the confines o! their divisions. Each division is under the direction o! a Board o! Man- agement and a Superintendent. Generaily, the superintendent is an outstanding blind man, al- though this is not the case wite tee Central Western and New- foundland divisions.
