Over seventy young men from On- ario farms have just. completed a two weeks' course in stock and seed jud g at the Ontario Agricultural College without any expense what- ever to themselves as a result of the "Acre Profit" and "Feeding Hogs" Competitions carried on by the On- tario department of agriculture dur- the past season. These com- petitions were open to boys who had taken the six weeks' short, course with distriet representatives," under whom the contests were condueted. Below Is given the list of winners in the. "Acre Profit" competition. In the cos, allowance has been made for rent of land at $5 per acre, for epit of fertilizers and coset of labour In figuring the total value of the acreage yield, potatoes have been figured on a hasis of 40c. per bushel, turnips, He. per 'bushel; mangels, 15¢. per bushel; oats, 50¢. per bushel peas, $2 per bushel; corn for seed, $1 per bushel; corn for silage, $2.75 per ton. It will'be seen, therefore, that the profits have been figured on a very conservative basis in spite of the fact that many of the winners, hecause of the superior quality of their product, were able to secure considerably In advance of market prices The following table shows: the winners, in the Kingston district, cost of prodfiction, profit, yield and character of soil and varieties: Potatoes, Leeds and Grenville, Hayden H.

'ihe white man found it of the utmost va- lue before the soil conld be cleared and cultivated for wheat and rye, By the aid of science great pro- gréss has been made in extending and improving the corn crop in Canada. Thirty-three years ago, 1881, the corn ¢rop of the Dominion was re- corded to be. 9,025,142 bushels, whereas in 1913 Ht w 16,772,800 bushels. In 1893 the yield of fod: der corn was 1,049,524 tons and in 1913, 2,616,300 tons, to say nothing of the improvement that has been made in the quality of the crop. In? this improvement almost every pro- vince has been active. The Belgian Horse, The pluck fight put up by the Bel. gians in defence of their native land, whicH is only in accord with the ane- ient reputation of the race, the citi: zens of Liege in particular having the reputation of being 'turbulent,' which usually only meant independent ---not being the neck to an arrogant nobility,--as directed the eyes of the world more once| to this kingdom. The soil and climate are both favor- able to the development of large- framed horses. From very early times the people have given much at- tention to breeding them, and it is said that thé Roman cavalry were mainly mounted on Belgian horses. The draught breeds of Great Britain and France certainly owe a great deal to the horses of this country, as the heavy Flemish horse was largely uted in their formation. Horse-breeding is carried on now on small farms, and therefore on a limited &cale individually; but the total number of horses exported was {in 1913-31,000 head, mainly to Ger- many, and the value ran to some- where about $10,000,000. There is a government breeding stud, and a grant of 5,000 annually devoted to horse-bfeeding, mainly, in the pen- gion of premiums to about 50 differ- ent horse shows. 'Exceptional stal- lions that have won bounty prizes may be noniinated to ¢tdmpete for a grand prize of $1,125 payable at the rate of $225 per annum for five years The owner of such stallion may draw an anual bounty of from $100 to 150 as long as he is still approved. To prevent the export of the best stal- lions the bounties received must be returned if any animal is sold to 'go out of the country. There are also extra prizes for stallions and bounties for maintenance awarded to the ow- ners of best mares to retain thom in Belgium, Board Of Agriculture. Regarding the County Board .of Agriculture for Leeds and 'Grenville counties, W, H. Smith, B.8.A., dis- trict representative for the united counties, says: - "The purpose of the organization is to bring the dif- ferent Farmer's Clubs cof the coun- ties into closer touch with each oth- rand endeavor to have them work- ing on a systematic basis along lines which would tend to mark a decided advance in a given direction. As a result of the first County Board meet- ing it has been decided to hold a ser- ies of meetings during the winter months with the different clubs, where the following subjects: seeds, cheese, fertilizer, vegetables, co-op- eration, 'poultry, swine and dairying, | will be discussed. The clubs will hold their meetings in a series, thus redué¢ing the expense of bringing speakers to a minimum. "In addition to the regular series of meetings, the board contemplates | holding a standing field crop cempe- | tition for the county, and expects to establish two centres for the develop- ment of registered seed." The members elected to the execu- tives committee of the Board are: My. B. N. Cannon of Crosby Farmers' Club; Mr. J. D. Johnson, of Soper- ton-Oakleaf Farmer's Club; and Mr. Holmes Eyer of Harlem Farme: Club, with C. R. Rath of Lansdowne, rresident of the Farmers' Institute, and W. H. Smith, District Representa tive of the counties as additional members of the board: The chairman of the board is Hol- mes Eyre, of Chantry, secretary-trea- surer, J. D. Johnston, of Soperton. Seasonable Hints, In piling up manure from the farm animals or that purchased from the city stables make the heaps large enough to prevent the manure from freezing, thereby checking its fermen- tation. A slow heating must take place to cause the-manure to decom- ! pose. If the heating becomes too violent, turn it frequently enough to prevent buruming. Many farmers are carting freshly made manure to the fields and then allowing it to lie in heaps as dumped from the wagon. The manure free zes and must remain unspread until spring. The consequence of such neglect is the enriching of the land 'about the piles from the leachings, but the improper fertilization of the remaining area. A few trenches dug through the lowlands on the farm will remove the surplus watér from the swamp early in the spring and provide ear- ly forage for the stoek. .; Cows will eat the tender growths of lowland grasses early in the spring which la- ter in the year they would not touch It is this grass that will give the ani- mals three or four weeks of pastur- age while the regular grazing lande are making their growth. After the potied bulbs have made root in the cellar, plage them in a semi-lighted place for a week or ten days and then expose them to the full sunshine in" the window-garden. Give only enough water to 'keep the earth slightly - moistened 'through- out, but as growth becomes more lux- uriant increase the 'supply of mois- ture. Over-watering Will cause the bulbs to decay. If the plants do not start as they should, make a paper eollar six inches or so high and fit it about the pols, leaving the top open. The shoots 'will then be drawn up to the light: Alfalfa In The West. In Manitoba the department of agriculture has been paying particu- lar attention to the growing of alfal- fa, with the result that the area de- voted to this eplendid legume was more. than doubled in the past year, In Ontario, little is heard in an offi- 'cial way of the value of alfalfa and how to 'plant it, and reed dealers state that the demand {or new seed is falling off. Know Your Cow. * The dairyman is being fined hard cath for not knowing what indi- vidual cows vary greatly as to pro- duction. Some are decidedly unpro- fitable, while others barely pay for their feed. But there are always cows that. will give a good profit over expenses. It is essential that the dairyman may develop the ability to determine what cows are returning profit. Guess-work will not accom- plish this.

Great Britain's total importations of | oats were 59,829,960 bushels. Surely the foregoing figures carry | their own moral to Canadian farmers. i Deficiencies To B Be Made Good. Great Britain imported 185,125,- | 000 bushels of wheat from August | 1st, 1918 to July 31st, 1914. Russ exported 163,267,000 bushels and} Roumania 45,642,000 bushels in the same period. How much will these two countries export this year? ireat Britain imported from Aug. 1st, 1913, to July 31st, 1914, 54, 207,000 bushels of oats. Russia ex- ported 34,750,000 bushels, Germany 25,077,000 bushels and Roumania 17,196,000 bushels, The last three countries in 1915 will hardly export} a bushel. How is the deficiency to be made up? Great Britain from Aug. Ist, 1813 to July 24:8 1914, imported 46,169,- 000 bushels of barley, Austria-Hun- gary 8,064,000 bushels, ahd Rouma- nia 18,941,000 bushels, How much is Canada going to do to make up the large shortage? Bacon And Hams, In 1913, Great Britain 5,440,387 hundredweight Canada supplied 272,745 pundred- weight. Russia, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands furnished 23,129, 570, and the United States 2,019,776 hundredweight. In 1913, Britain imported 957.5 hundredweight of hams, of which Ca- nada supplied 100,892 hundredwei- ght and the United States 851,835. In 1910 Canada only supplied 42,136 hundredweight. There is some improvement in hame, but a sad falling off in bacon. Britain took 689,704 hundredweight of the latter commodity from this country in 1911, but as previously stated, only 272 745 hundred weight in 1913, a decrease of 416,959 hun- dredweight in two years. imported of bacon. 9% FINANCIAL NEWS.
