Under the above heading, a ; respondent of the 'Farmer and Stoek- writes: --""1 he eminent phy- i mological chemist, 1h Halliburton, has said that the nutritive value of a diet depends mainly on the amount of earbon and nitrogen it contains in ia readily digestible form.

In | the early days we had to carry hay m | require: from the stack in our arms and crowd itn between the cows with it in the dark. 1 have seen barns, costing con siderable money, that were not much hetter, with narrow alleys and parti tions to crawl through, and | have j 20 barns in the backwoods built out of logs, that their owners only cost | the price of the windows, that | were modern in every respect. It is largely with the farmer whether things are or wrong, and 3 does not oe upon his bank account The constructed barn may be con vement, It may have gutters and stalls of the proper length so that the cows may be kept clean. It may have hght and warmth and ventila fon. It may have a walk behind the cows that can be kept clean and a good sized feeding auiley mn front of them. It may have a clean barnyard, instead of the manure piled up around the door, so that it is a ditheult mat- fer to get in amd out of the barn. Ihen there is another consideration, and [hat is the number oi hours the hires] man puts in each day. A man who begins his work at live in the morning should be through at six in the evening, or nearly so. Where cows have to be milked after that, dairy- ing will never be a popular work with hired men. A man needs eight hours' sleep, and if he is a man who con- siders himself, more than a day's work, he will want some time to him- sell Lo read and study. A warm roog with a few papers and books gives the hired man a better opinion of the right pend cheaply | place he is working for.

Value of Egg Circles, representative mm Un tario county, in speaking before the meeting: of the Farmers' Institutes and Farmers' Clubs recently, gave the con vention an idea of the value ogi circles, In Ontario county there are seven circles al present with from 30 to 135 members each. The output the past year of these circles was $20,008, the product being sold at an advance of from. one to three cents per dozen in sununer, and four to fifteen cents in fall and winter over the price paid by local egg dealers. I'he members realize that they should keep a better strain of pouitry and on this basis orders for sixty bred- to-lay eockereis have heen placed. "dt costs tarmers of Ontario $50, Mi} every year to listen to rooster crow during June, July and August," was the graphic way in which 'rof. W. BR. Graham described the folly keeping male birds with the flocks during this season : He impressed upon the meeting necessity putting out a uniiorm product {eggs or poultry) Was essential in marketing cooperatively We must have a unitorm package in unlimited quantity, and this is Impos sible through individual effort We must learn to grade our eggs.
