Vegetables at Toronto. Cabbages continue at high prices, and the markets are being supplied iby imports from Quebec. In a nor- mal yedr Ontario grows enough cab- hages to supply her own markets un- til well on the winter, when the Southern stocks begin to come in, but things are different this year. A lot of the cahbage offering are very soft and of a poor quality. Prices run around $40 to $46 per ton this week. At New York eabbages are steady at last week's advance, at $50 to $60 per ton for the best. Carrots, beets and pirsnips are a shade easier at Toronto this week, selling from $1 up to $1.15, and ocea- top. Turnips are steady at 65¢ to 76€ per 75-pound bag. Hothouse tematoes are lower this week, going at 22% per pound for No. 1's, with Ne. 2's at 18¢.to 20¢. Apples at Toronto. The apple situation at Toronto is about the same, with 1 firmer ten- dency, if anything, to the prices, Snows are a scarce article. Dawson and Eliott, commission men, quote Spies up to $6 and $6.50 for No. 1's; Greening, Baldwins and Russet, $5 to $5.50; and Pewaukees, $5 for No. 1's. No. 2's are about $1 less, and No. 3's range from $2.50 to $2.50 with some specially marked ones of extra good quality at $4 per barrel. Kingston Markets Kingston, Dec. Sth.

WB | "The possibilities of producing flax for fiber in Capada have been proven to be very considerable. would seem wise, therefore, anything possible to encourage the growth of this industry in districls suited thereto at this time, when un- usually high prices will serve as an impetus to its development and ex- tension." So writes the director of Dominion experimental farms, while the Dominion botanist speaks of "enhanced interest for which there cortainly is 4 wide scope in suitable localities in the Dominion of Canada." Both these remarks were prompted by the pub- lication of bulletin No. 28, second series experimental farm, at Ottawa, entitled. Flax for Fiber; its cultiva- tion and handling, written by J. Sn. Wiater Conditions Like Spring and Summer as Possible, Many people believe that if they furnish a reasonably comfortable house, and supply a little corn, or whatever grain happens to he avail- able, that there is no excuse¥or their hens not filling the winter egg bas- et, Spring and summer seasons are the natural times for hens to lay, and if they are made to lay through the winter, conditions must be made a8 near like their natural laying sea- Son as possible, Sprouted grains furnish the best solution. As a protein or egg-pro- ducing feed, oats rank much higher than corn and contain more fat than wheat. Its high proportion of hull to kernel makes jt bulky and unpal- atable, Sprouting overcomes this difficulty, and also furnishes the green. feed so essential. Oats can be sprouted and fed at four to six inches high more economically than roots or vegetables can be produced: The time required for the growth is short, the amount of succulent ma- terial is large, and increased egg pro- duction Is invariably the result. One hundred pounds of oats can be in- creased to 350 to 400 pounds of succulent feed. It Is an easy matter to construct a4 home-made sprouter, but unless a warm. room is available, and if many birds are to be fed, it is advisable to purchase one of the several reliable. * Adams, M.A,, assistant Dominion! 50 | botanist, who for years was associat- ed with the flax industry in Ireland. The cultivation of flax, as Mr. Ad- ams says, is antiquity. Every Bib- lica) student will recall that in the account of the destruction wrought by hail in Egypt, it is written that "the barley was in the ear and the flax was boiled." Flax.is grown in Canada to some extent, but not, judging by statements of authorities, to the extent that the demand, the price, usefulness and the soil and climatic conditions warrant. Mr. Adams, in his bulletin, which can be had free by application to the pub. lication branch, department of agrl- culture, Ottawa, describes the plant In all its particulars, tells of the soil and climate required, and sets forth, with illuminative drawings and with minuteness of detail all that is re- quired in its cultivation and har- vesting, He also shows that in two years flax has doubled in price, {alta bay hs a bog ont. | Ho f The problem of the feeder at the present time is to feed as economi- cal a ration as possible, Although prices for hogs are good at the pre- sent time, and promise to remain so for some considerable time, the hog raiser cannot afford to winter his Sows on high priced feeds. He wants to economise wherever possible, In some experiments on the feeding of | alfalfa hay to hogs, the North Dako- ta Experiment Station secured a sav- ing on young pigs of 50 cents per hundred pounds gain with dry al- falfa and 40 cents with steamed hay. With faptening pigs, the saving was greater, being $1.70 per 100 pounds gain for dry hay and $2.70 for steamed hay. Brood sows fed Steamed hay showed a saving of $1.- 80 per 100 pounds gain over grain alone. These results were secured 4 year ago. Later results demon- strated that it was possible to re- place one-third of the grain ration for brood sows with alfalfa hay, and that it require 1.04 pounds of alfal- fa hay to replack 1 pound of grain. The feeding of alfalfa afforded ex- cellent means of getting the sows to take more exercise than they do Poultry Marketing Points. ] Success in marketing dressed poul- try depends very largely on the method followed In killing ana dressing.

Grading Milk For Chess. | A. W. Sirett, of Frontenac county is a believer in grading milk at cheese factories. This District Rep- resentative writes: "While in Kingston I visited Mr. Zufelt of the Dairy School, and had a talk with him in regard to the new system enacted for the payment of milk at cheese factories. This ques- tion bids fair to bécome a wery live one this winter, so 1 am preparing what information I can along this subject so that I will be in a position to discuss the subject with any ques- tioner, Mr. Zufelt supplied me with figures and tables showing that the milk containing the highest percent- age of fal. would produce more cheese and the cheese of higher qual- ity, He clearly showed that the patron that was sending in low test- ing milk was * really robbing his neighbor who was sending in high testing milk. In some cases where the test varied from one and one- half to two per cent the patron whose milk tested the lowest was getting from 25 to 50 cents per hun- dred more for his milk than it was worth, according to the price of cheese that would be made from the milk, and that the man was losing the same amount who sent in high testing milk than if his milk had béen paid for according to the fat test method. The pooling system Is unfair and should become a relic of the past." teams ---- Fungi which cause serious losses to the fruit grower live through the winter on fallen leaves, fruit, dead branches and pruning trash.

Although the Ford Motor Company is capitalized at only $2,000,000, the assets of the concern are now worth $400,000,000, Hon. Thomas W. McGarrry, pro- vincidl treasurer, has been appointed vice-president of the Dominion Per- manent Loan Company as successor to the late D, W. Kam. A leading producer estimates that thus far about 60 per cent. of the United States copper available for de- livery next year has already been sold. This figure is based on a refining capacity of 2,400,000,000 pounds in 1917. The fiscal year of United States Rubber to Dee. 31st will easily eclipse any former from the standpoint of gross sales and met profits. The bal- ance for the $36,000,000 common, even after allowance has been made for heavy interest charges, will reach a new high figure, which should run between 15 per cent. and 16 per cent.
