The selection for vigour and for those desirable • qualifications* that conform to the breed is comparatively simple, because mostly these are visible characters and can be chosen by comparison. Vigour is evident by the carriage, desirable body weight for and breed, health and bloom of feather, and good bone formation, while the clean-cut head with clear bright and prominent eye in the male and female is a certain indication of brain power and nervous energy and the hall-mark of high vitality and productives trength.

FISH MEALS AND LIVE STOCK In the field of live stock feeding. Ish meal has proven a rich source of nutrients. It is fed particularly for its protein and mineral content, percentage of these ingredients determines its value. There are three factors which have retarded the more of fish meal. First, there it its rather high price in com-)arison with the price of other feeds; econd, the lack of definite information regarding its use; and third a ariability in the product. The feeding of fish meal has been jnfined largely to swine, but it has !so been used successfully for dairy cattle, and in a limited way for other live stock. Growing market animals e.nd milking cows seem best adapted to utilize efficiently fish meal and other high protein feeds comb with carbonaceous grains. Fish i is relatively more valuable for rapid pains ind high production than for 'antage in the main-breeding animals, percentage used should be rer I ian that normally included in i growing ration. DUNDONALD January 29th, 1935 ; visiting Castle- RAISE YOUR OWN LIVING Whether willing or not the majority of farmers are now obliged to supply more of their own needs. The following list may provide suggestions for furt h er economy: 1. Milk a few good cows; feed recommended rations. 2. Fatten one pig for every two adult members of the family; cure tbe meat properly. 3. Keep at least 100 good, hens, correctly housed and fed. 4. Raise a good garden; water from windmill if possible. 5. Plant only cash crops, which show little or no surplus, 6. Grow your own stock feed. 7. Butcher fat cows and steers; trade meat with neighbours. 8. Raise your own Hvfing; keep your roof tight. 9. Get down to earth and do the best you can t;o-day. 110. Drive a horse until you can afford to buy gasoline." FATTENING POULTRY In crate-feeding poultry particular care should be taken to feed a ration which will produce the white fat and the milk-fed quality. The following ration has been tested and found suitable for crate feeding: Equal parts of middlings, ground oats and barley; esual parts of middlings, ground oats and ground new potatoes; equal parts of oats, ground oats and mashed potatoes; equal parts of middlings, ground oats and cornmeal; equal parts of shorts, ground oats and ground barley; equal parts of low grade flour, ground barley and ground oats; equal parts of ground whole wheat, ground whole oats and ground whole barley; equal parts of ground barley, ground buckwheat and bran.

Mr. Fred Irwin, accompanied relatives, spent Wednesday in Mr. and Mrs. Keith Stimers visited Mr. and Mrs.. H. Stickle, Sharon, Thursday. IMr. and Mrs. F. C. Chapman spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Castleton. Miss Emma Wright, Reg.N., is at nome from Cobourg General Hospital, for a short rest. The severe weather of the lasc few days have not been favorable for visiting, many preferring the warm fire-ie. Mr. and Mrs. Elton Goodrich and daughter, Effie, Colborne, attended the banquet at Dundonald on SatUi day night, and also the Sunday mori ing services1 in Eden Church. The neighbours were glad to meet them Mrs. Archie Samons received word on Tuesday, January 22nd, that her father, Mr. Finch, of Sprinigbrook, very seriously ill, and she left immediately for his home, arriving a short time before he passed away. Mrs. Samons remained ror tne funeral returning home on Friday. The bereaved family have the sympathy of any friends. A large number from this neighborhood attended the Annual Telephone meeting at Castleton on Saturday fternoon, January 26th, 1©35. The subscribers evidently believe in letting well enough alone, and re-elected the old Commissioners, Milton Mac-domald, Chairman, Dundonald; Herman Reynolds, Morganston; and Clay-m Peacock, Salem, for another year, hdle the young operators at the central office were highly commended l publically and privately, for painstaking and efficient service. A banquet, to which all the official members of the four appointments of Hilton Circuit were invited, was held in Dundonald Hall, Saturday evening, instead of Friday as announced. The severe storm and blocked roads rendered it impossible. This banquet, which proved to be decidedly successful, originated with the recording steward of the circuit, Mr. Garnet Mutton of Eden Church, Dundonald. All the appointments were well represented. The path master and neighbours turned out on Saturday morning and made the drifted roadi sable for sleighs and cars. The women of Eden congregation furnished an excellent and abundant sup] well served. The Rev. Mr. -Brigiuon, una Board of the Presbytery, guest speaker. The Pastor, Rev./A. Armstrong also spoke. The Recording Steward presided and the following members of the Board gave informal addresses: Mr. J. J. Mutton, Hilton; Mr. George Mutton, Shiloh; Mr. Ed. Hinman, Sharon; and Mr. Wallace Dunnett, Eden Church, Dundonald. Music by MesisTS. Ross Wright, Athol Clark, Mrs. F. L. McDonald and Mrs. W. E. Chesterfield, and also community singing was enjoyed by the guests. The two Rev. gentlemen and a few others left about midnight, but later a Board meeting was held, and with feasting, visiting and washing dishes the time passed swiftly, and wo o'clock when lights out. all declaring that the evening was well-spent and enjoyabls He nd Trie Employed on railway i tion 50 years ago, Thomas D. Mc-Gillivray, 83, of Edmonton, claims the distinction of having placed the last carload of dirt on the C.P.R. when that trans-continental line was completed to the Pacific coast in 1885. Despite his advanced age he still has a clear recollection of incidents on construction. Miss Mary McNeill, superannuated in December after over thirty years on the Upper Lakes as stewardess of the C.P.R. Great Lakes Steamships, spent almost her entire service as chief stewardess of S.S. Keewatin, sailing with her every season from her maiden voyage in 1908 until the close of the 1934 season. Fortunes are being spent on research in the science of armaments but not one penny for research in the field of disarmaments, said Prof. Julian Huxley, famous grandson of the even more famous Thomas H. Huxley, in outlining the meaning and functions of science, its shortcomings and possibilities, at the Lord Nelson Hotel, Halifax, recently. „ "Our province will soon take an important place, if not the leading i place, among the gold-producing countries of the world", stated Hon. J. E. Perrault, Minister of Roads and Mines of the Province of Quebec, in a recent address on "The Mining Industry of Quebec," at the Chateau Fron-tenac, Quebec City. Interviewed at Victoria recently, N. R. DesBrisay, assistant passenger traffic manager, Canadian Pacific Railway, stationed at Winnipeg, said that indications pointed to a better all-around tourist season for 1935 over 1934 much improved though that year had been over previous tourist Ski-joring behind a fast running horse; mushing with a team %of huskies; skating, or ski-ing on the mountain trails all come under the heading of real sport, is the view of Miss Dorothy Stan-dish who reigns as Banff Winter Sports Beauty Queen during this year's season in the Canadian Rockies. Harry Loder, tourist, travelling along a highway near Banff by car recently, saw a golden eagle ; fly by the window of his car, and j reaching out caught it by the ieck I and pulled it into the automobile. < He turned the bird ' over to the Banff Zoo. SEED MARKET REPORT A late December report of the Seed Branch states that the demand for clover and grass seeds in Ontario has been good all season and only a small uuantity remains in the growers' handa There is still available in Northern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley some 285,000 lbs. of red clov-81,000 lbs. of alfalfa and 200,000 lbs. of timothy. Buyers are paying growers, basis No. 1 grade, per lb. 19c to 21c for red clover; 18c for alfalfa; 6%c for sweet clover and 14c to 16c for timothy. In southwestern Ontario the small 1934 crop of seed has mostly been sold by the growers, that remaining is mainly of poor quality although 3 good sweet clover and alfalfa seed is still available in one or two localities. Prices being paid growers, basis No. 1 grade, per lb. range from 18%c to 23c for red clover; 15c to 16c for alfalfa; 16c to 26c for alsike; 5^0 to 714c for sweet clover and 17c to 18c for timothy. KEEP MANGERS CLEAN An inspection of the mangers of stables when cows are not doing well might go along way toward finding it the cause of trouble. Sanitation in mangers and the drinking supply is in many cases very poor. When :ows don't drink as much water as hey should, or leave a certain amount of meal in the bottom of the mangers, the trouble may generally be laid to the door of poor sanitation. An inspection of mangers and drinking cups would pTobably show that the cups had become fouled with chaff md spoiled silage, and when left for ;ven a day the water is filthy. It is easonable that cows will not drink freely of this water. Anywhere from quarter of an inch of hard accumulated filth can sometimes be scraped ut of the manger. It has a stench hich makes the animal quit eating long before it has enough. Drinking howls and mangers should be kept :lean if cattle are to flourish. A forty-mile ski race, a forty-snowshoe race, motorcycle [ ski-joring, figure skating, ladies "3 hockey, championship ating, pony ski-joring, ing, sKi-mmpmg ana swimming events in the F warm pool, will be featured at the elaborate winter carnival at Banff on the week's programme beginning February 14. Sailing recently on her fourth annual cruise around the world, which will take 130 days, with calls at thirty-three ports in twenty-four countries, Canadian Pacific Atlantic flagship, Empress of Britain, left New York with close on 400 passengers. She will return to New York late m May. Honoring Captain A J. Halley, R. N. R., who retired from command of the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Canada after thirty-four years with the C.P.R., shipmates and shoreslde friends presented him with an engraved •wrist watch at a luncheon recently aboard the ship. Captain Hal-ley left the sea with forty-four years of Berrioe behind htm on REPAIRING TILLAGE IMPLEMENTS Careful repairing of tillage machinery each winter or early spring with replacement of doubtful or worn parts has been proven in experiments on cost of operating farm machinery to pay large dividends by preventing major costly repairs. ^ Tillage implements generally receive less care and more hard knocks than any other class of farm machinery. ", The value of any implement can only be measured by its usefulness acres covered, quality of work done and freedom from the necessity of costly repairs and delays. Delays due to breakdowns during the rush tillage season of spring and summer are costly and easily prevented if the farmer, with a few tools and a little time, will check over carefully every working or wearing part long pefore he is going to use the mach- Check over every machine carefully for loose, worn or stripped bolts; replace broken spring washers and check all loose or slack parts. Wheel and power lift bearings, disk boxings and all moving parts should be ad-;usted for wear. Clean all working parts of old grease, oil, dirt and steel particles with kerosine and replace with plnty of fresh lubricants. Plough shares, cultivator shovels, disk blades and all cuttjing ediges should be sharpened well in advance of spring. Have all spare sets sharpened as well. Check the alignment of brace arms, beams*, hitches, land- des and mouldiboards. Harrow teeth Ld cultivator shanks generally reed straightening after- every season's Make a list of all new parts need-■d, seoure these during the winter nd replace the old parts before spring work starts.
