For all classes, of live stock on Canadian farms, there was: a rise in value during 1925, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Average values are returned by the bureau as follows: Horses, $69, compared with $64 in 1924; milch cows, $51 ($46); other cattle, $31 ($27); total cattle, $39 ($34); sheep, $10 ($9); swine, $11 per 100 pounds live weight ($8); wool, washed, 31 cents (28). All classes of live stock, except horses, 'other cattle" and swine, show a slight inérease in numbers, according to this report, and the estimated total value is given as $704,287,000, compared with $641,- 144,000 the year before. Must Improve Pack, Large quantities of inferior ap- ples dumped on the market by On- "| tario orchardists have not only spoil- od this year's market but almost ruined the reputation 6f this prov: ince's fruit on both the domestic and export markets, declares J. G. aite, Colborne, president of the North- umberland and Durham Apple Grow- ers' Association. "Look at the quo- tations," said Mr. Waite in his pre sidential address to the annual meet- ing this week, "B.C. and U.S. boxes are selling at practically the same price as our barrels. Yet the barrel holds three times as: many apples as the box. Consumers will hardly buy our fruit at any price." To establish Ontario's reputation for good -apples, Mr. Waite would establish a brand better than the present No. 1, and apply special in- spection. both in the orchard and packing house. insinnth Like Spray Service. The government ~Spray service, | under the direction of the agricul- {tural representatives of such fruit growing counties as Huron, Norfolk, Durham, Northumberland and others, gave such generally good satisfaction to the growers during its fifST year of operation that it will be continued and improved this year, announces P. W. Hodgetts Don't Sniffle, Sneeze Till Head Aches ? Germs of Nasal Catarrh Quickly Destroyed by Catarrhozone an -------- Most sniffling colds are due to ir- ritation caused by germs.

Thorne of Brighton, adding that the experts' advice had much to do with this result. "Prince Edward grow- ers in the" service last year raised the cleanest fruit in their experi- ence," reported R. W. Ireland, Wel- lington, Western Ontario growers appear. equally pleased. Brooding Chicky. Many people are ordering their baby chicks for March delivery this year, and the brooders are being placed in operation é¢orrespondingly early, "The best brooding device for 200 -ehicks or more is -a coal burning stove," advises George Ww. Miller. "Nut size anthracite is the best coal for these. In starting a brooder stove loosen the thermostat adjusting nut until the coal is well started, and then tighten until the check draft opens wide. You will have to adjust the ther- mostat after the chicks get about the brooder, because in could weather wheii there are any drafts they re- quire a much higher temperature than In warm weather. A brooder thermometer is unnecessary, as the chicks themselves will! tell you how warm it is by the distance they stay from the stove, The temperature is right when they form a ring around the outer edge of the canopy. Do not. tamper with the adjustment, once you have it right, unless there is'a decided change in the weather. Coal your fire up to, the limit of capacity.each-time. When you see the first red from the top the fire needs more fuel. "Young chicks should be kept comfortable at all times. The tem- perature should be warm enough for comfort, and no drafts should be al- lowed to reach them. A chick will run around happily in zero weather if there is' mo draft and it can get back to the heat when it desires." init Creameries and Factories. Over half of Canada's cheese fac- tories are in Ontario, and over half her creameries in Quebec, according to maps just published by the Do- minion Dairy Branch. The greatest concentration of dots representing dairy factories is shown along the River St. Lawrence. Actual figures give a total of 1,198 creameries, 1,409 cheese factories, and 578 combination factories in the Dominion. Quebec has 641 cream- eries, the same number of cheese factories, and 422 combined plants, Ontario" has 258 creameries, 711 cheese factories, and 121 combina- tions. 'In the west, creameries are quite common nowadays. Manitoba has 56, Saskatoon 70, and Alberta 87. Cheese factories and combina- tion plants are less numerous, though growing in number; the three prairie provinces show only 20 of the form- er and 15 of the latter. B.C. has 32 plants, of which 27 are creameries. Creameries are also most popular in the Maritimes, although New Brunswick, for some reason, has more cheese factories, 23 compared with 16. Nova Scotia, however, has ' 30 creameries and only one cheese fac- tory. Little Prince Edward has 13 creameries, 11 cheese factories, and 11 combined plants. Planning the Garden. This is the time of year when the garden should be laid out--'in the mind's eye, Horatio," if not on paper. If it is left until the spring rush begins it will go in without any definite plan, or worse still be over- looked entirely. In laying out a garden you have first to decide the site. That is sim- ple in the city lot, but not so simple on the farm. A patch of rather light soil, free from shade and tree roots, fairly near the house, and not too plowing and cultivation. | Néxt to these put long . season icrops, those Which stay in, the gar- {den from spring to fall---parsnips, onions from seed, etc. | Next to these place early crops | which will be used by mid-summer, so that the space they oceupy can be cleaned up and replanted to late Here would go lettuce, onion | ets, radishes, spinach, early peas, snap beans, etc. | Put tall or spreading crops, such { as corn or squash, at one end or side, where they cannot shade or overrun | others.
