Fewer farms are on the market today, whereas the whole of rural Ontario was for sale at bargain prices two years ago. There is a more hopeful fe g in the country this fall, and this feeling, in the shape of increa- sed buying power will be felt in the | urban centres as well in a few months. With the harvest safely stored under cover, and threshing well under way, fall work is b ining throughout ru- ral Ontario, Beans are being pulled in thwestern counties, and some | ave already beer is ccmmet the so table turnip ped.

Harvesting is general on the Prair-| ies. The present crop while light in The last Government estimate placed 350,000,000 Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, but this is likely too con- servative, as the late summer weather has been ideal, and many fields which promised but light yields three weeks ago have since filled well. Even if the federal forecast is correct, however, the returns fromthe present harvest will be $100,000,000 ahead of a year ago. The present price for October delivery at Fort William runs about $1.48 for No. 1 Northern. After allow. | ing for lower grades, weed seed dock- age, storage charges and selling com- mission this should net the farmer ab6ut one dollar per bushel at country ! points. This is well above the figure | of a year ago and about double that] of 1923. There are, too, indications of even better prices than the futures now predict, The short crop in United Sta- tes will barely suffice for domestic | requirements and the European harvest | while much above that of twelve months ago, does not promise any gredt surplus. Market for Light Horses. Light horses are a drug on the mar- curse in the Prairie Provinces and the interior valleys of British Columbia, where these animals are using up good pasturage which is necded by cattle. In order to turn these worthless béasts to some account the Federal Govern ment will make a trial shipment of them shortly to Europe. It is claimed that there is some demand for light horseflesh in Hamburg. If this ship- ment is successful, others will follow. More Holsteins at C.N.E. Following their: great showing at Ottawa last week, Holstein bresders have turned out in force at the Cana. dian National. Last yegr they had 174 animals in the ring, and this year have 287. Several other breeds register slight advances, but nothing like the showing of the black and whites. The beef classes are about the same as last year, with a few more Angus and fewer Herefords. The number of county herds has risen to 22, Perth leadis with a Holstein herd of 50, Many ol these animals are from small breeders' herds, and are the means of introduc. ing their owners to the big show cir. cuit, Heavy horse exhibits, which have been declining in number for several years, are still lower, but light horses are more numerous than before.

He points to two re- cent cases in Middle County as conclusive proof. In one case a very heavy alfalfa crop was hauled in on Friday afternoon. On Sunday evening the hired man while milking heard a peculiar noise like a heavy wind through trees followed by a crackling. Running out, he saw fire coming out of the plate above the mow. A com- plete investigation of this case lead the Marshal to eliminate all possibi- lity of design or accident, and to place the blame upon spontaneous combus- tion. His investigation of the other fire lead him to a similar conclusion. Treating Wheat Smut. Although not so great a problem this | year as in some 'others, covered or | stinking smut of wheat is sufficiently | serious every year to make treating the | seed generally advisable. The method | outlined by the Ontario Agricultural! College is as follows: Mix one pint | formalin with 40 gallons water, which | is sufficient for 50 bushels. Place the | grain in a héap on a clean floor, sprin- kle the grain with the solution, then shovel into another pile so as to mix it. Then sprinkle and shovel again until every grain is moistened by thé ed in the solution and leave for 3 or | + hours. Then spread the grain out thinly to dry before putting into the drill. If smut balls are present in the wheat they must be rémoved before treating by means of a fanning mach- ine, or by placing the grain about one bushel at a time in a tub of water, | stirring it, and skimming off the smut | Some Poultry Notes, Many commercial egg farmers doubt whether it pay to raise leghorn coc-{ kerels on their plants, and sone are | { killing them off as soon as the sex | can be determined. "It must be re-| membered that if the cockerels are | killed at this age the original cost is a | dead loss. This can at least be salvag- | ed if thé cockerels are provided with | suitable quarters for rearing by them- | selves," says one poultryman.
