A Rethil prices of the lower priced meats are now down to a level so near cost, sometimes .indeed below cost price, that the butcherâ€"retailer ‘must make all his profit on the highâ€" wer priced cuts. Roughly, the demand is for the hindquarter cuts; the big ‘surplus is in the forequarter cuts. If ‘a steer were producable, having nothâ€" ing but porterhouse and tendérloin, things would quickly.right themselves. But, unhappily, the carcass of \the ‘best steer only yields about twentyâ€" two per cent. of its total weight in loin cuts. The following table, preâ€" pared from actual returns in Toronto in the last few weeks, with prices averaged over all qualities of beef, makes it plain why a few cuts only must carry a high price if the whole carcass is to yield a profit. Wholesale cuts to ordinarg butchérs are takenâ€"as MMlustrations. These are, of course,. further subdivided before the houseâ€" wife makes her purchase. ‘"Hips," for nstance, include~ three grades of, ‘round." â€" | mg hot. ‘Then pour in the omelet in a few seconds reduce the flame hat it is very low. Now cover the and let the omelet cook untouchâ€" or 15 or 20 minutes or until when d with a straw it comes out clean. e immediately. The real cause why the prime cuts of beef, the porterhouse, the tenderâ€" loin and the round steak are so highâ€" ly priced is that many more people in the last two years have the money to buy those parts. ‘The supply remains relatively the same. 6t )ins * Canadian women can make a markâ€" ed‘reduction in the cost of living withâ€" out aid of, law or legislation. The matter is quite individual. It can be great or little, just as the housewife ‘chooses.

This improves the Havor.) if the field has been resown and the worms are still‘ present, the mixture may be sown broadcast over the surâ€" face just as the grain is coming up or it might be sown with the seed drill before this time. â€" Where there is danger of this pest taking the corn In garden practice the mash should be_sprinkled about the plants in the evening and as the molasses attracts the worms they will eat it in preferâ€" ence to the plants. In grain fields, Mix one pound of paris green with 40 Jbs. of bran. . The poison. should be added to dry bran little by iittle and stirred until the whole is tinged with green, then add about 4 gallons of water and one gallon of molasses. The quantity of . liquid required will vary with the Dature of the bran or be sufficiently moistened to rall like sawdust through the fingers. The adâ€" dition of four or five lemons renders the bait more attractive. They usually become fully grown and enter the chrysalis stage in June and about a month later the adult i gray moths appear and are very comâ€" | mon round lights in all of our houses. | These moths lay eggs and a second‘ , brood of caterpillars soon appear ofâ€" â€"ten more numerous than the first, butl ’ as food is much more plentiful at that time, their destruction is less no»’ ticceable. If, (however, an unusual number hatch and if owing to dryl weather or other cause vegetation is scarce, they may march in search of) ‘food, and they are then called Army, Worms. The nost which so alal"mng-‘ ly infested certain pants of Peel Coun«k ty in 1914 belong to a species closcely| related to the caterpillar which is \vOlul iying the farmer at present. | Treatment i ! In garden practice this is comparaâ€"| tively simple, but under field condiâ€"! ti}ms the necessary trouble and exâ€" pense is of course much greater. A poison bran mash is recommended. whicoa may be made in the following manner: / x ! Life History As a general rule the majority of these worms are partly grown and feeding on grass roots when winter sets in; then burrow down and hide in a torpid state during the cold weaâ€" ther, As soon as the soil warms up in the.sprirfg they come out hungrily and attack any kind ‘of tender vegeâ€" tation. If they were to start at the tops of plants the destruction would be much less, but â€"loving to work in the. dark, they, beaverlike, start at the low end where, by taking one of two bites, they destroy the entire plant. | These caterpillars are not fond of sunlight and do~not appear above the ground during the day. If \the soil is scraped over near wilting plants, greasy looking more or less earth colored worms may be found curled up in a circle. These may be from balf an inch to an inch and a half in length. i As last year and this season so far have been extremely favorable to the activity of cut worms, this pest has been working havoc on fields plowed up from sod. All kinds . of spring grains have suffered and in some casâ€" es fall wheat has been attacked. Corn, which is now appearing above the ground, is being mowed down row ‘by row. A Delicious Dessert U.S. Dept. of Agriculture test deâ€" monstrates the érroneous conception which many/farmers and stockmen have regarding the watering of dairy cows, Some dairymen contend that the more water one can induce a cow to drink the more milk she will proâ€" duce. The Federal experiments show that the difference in effect between watering at will and twice a day was not pronounced. The cows with water always available drank less and proâ€" duced more. Perhaps the intreased milk production was more or less a maiter of temperament and individuâ€" ality. Th&cow wants water when sh Mangels should be harvested before severe frosts occur. They should not be topped so close that they will bleed, and should be handled carefulâ€" ly if they are to be stored for a long period. They should receive plenty of ventilation when in storage. The "Yelâ€" low Intermediate" is easily harvested. It is one of the best yielders and conâ€" tains a large percentage of dry matfi ter. * j WwATER REQUIREMENTS As soon as the plants are up in rows they should be edged with a hoe or hand cultivator. The latter will straddle the row and do both sides at once. The horse cultivator should then be run through the rows every week or after every heavy rain until the tops cover the ground. Thorâ€" ough, persistent cultivation will add greatly to the crop by conserving moisture and by destroying â€"weeds. The plants should be thinned to about 10 inches apart in the rows by. the time they get four leaves, and. hoed a second time before the roots‘ swell. I is to have the seed deep enough, so Tf'xat it will/not dry out, and to have the soil pressed firmly abdut the seed. It pays to take extra time and trouble to put the seed in right, even if it is necessary to make a trench with a hoe for the seed and to cover and pack the carth down with the feet. j Barley or mixed grain, mangels, grain ’ seeded down with clover and grasses, hay, pasture, About one half of the manure (12% tons) 1 applied to the barley. stubble and plowed under in the autumn; the balance (12% tons) is worked into the land as soon as it is fit to work in the spring. When the land has been worked so that it is mellow and friable, it is thrown up into low drills 30 inches apart and the tops of these drageed/ off with a pole or fence rail. The seed is then sown about 1% inches deep, at from 4 to 6 lbs. per acre, according to the quality of seed. ‘The "‘Planet Jr." cultivator and seeder is a very satisfactory imâ€" plement for this work. This is folâ€" lowed by a heavy roller firming the ‘earth about the seed so thatvit may. get sufficient moisture for germinaâ€" tion. During a dry period it is well to seed in the evening so that the: earth may remain damp about the | seed for aâ€"longer time. The most imâ€"| portant point in getting a good catch] i stt The growing of mangels has receivâ€" i ed a great impetus in many districts owing to the serious loss among turâ€". nips, caused by club root. The manâ€". gel is attacked by vely few insects or ‘ diseases} and when successfully grown produces immense yields of succulent ! food, so necessary for live stock dur‘ | ing the winter and Spring months. ‘ Sound, fresh, plumpâ€"seed should be; secured and large . quantities of the very best home grown seed are now‘ on the market. ‘The mangel requires plenty of muoisture and should be' planted in good well tited land early in the season!.It works in very well [ With the following five year rotation: I Millet may be grown for seed or fodder; if grown for hay it should be noted that the Japanese Panicle variâ€" ety gives the greatest yield but reâ€" quires a longer period of growth. The Hungarian grass, while yielding conâ€" siderably less, would be most suitable for late seedings. ‘Those having trouble with cut worms or other insect pests should telephone or call at the Deâ€" partment of Agriculture, Brampton. While most of the caterpillars should go into the pupal stage by the middle of June, we‘ cannot predict whether a sufficient number will reâ€" main for a time to destroy our crops. However, a careful watch should be kept on all fields, particularly those. ploughed from old sod. Catch Crops In cases where spring grains have been destroyed some of the following catch crops may be selected: Flax, Buckwheat, Millet, Turnips, Rape. J. A. CLARE, Superintendent, Dominion Experimental Farm, Charlottetown. Some farmers have been sowing salt but a sufficient quantity of this to kill the worms would also destroy all vegetation. Heavy rains would pack the soil making it less convenient for these culprits to manoeuvre and would also increase the growth of roots and plants so that their feeding would be less destructive. 2e "nmediate‘y sown along the rows. A reasonable way should be to strip all hoes or disc off the seed drill and blocking up all tubes exceptâ€" ing those which are ordinarily, left for. drilling corn; go over the field sprinkling the mixture along the rows. An amount of the mixture equal to the seed sown should be a fair estiâ€" mate of requirement. crop as evidenced by a few plants beâ€" ing found cut off, this mixture should be immediately sown along the rows.

Furthermore, in order to conserve quality and preâ€" vent waste, every care and precaution must be taken in the successful markâ€" eting of those products, not only at home, but abroad. iferml Every means will be put forward to induce producers in Quebec to inâ€" crease their proluction of,eges and poultry, not only to the er}:i of supâ€" plying their own requirements, â€" but also of contributing their share to the export business of Canada.

POTATO CROP It is worthy of mention that an ayâ€" erage dairy cow normally will conâ€" sume 75 ,to 100 pounds of water a day. Average producing cows, even drink as much as 150 pounds of water daily, while exceptionally heavy _ yielding animals drink as high as 200 to 250 pounds of water every every twentyâ€" four hours. One official record â€" is on the docket of a high producing cow which drank 300 pounds of water a day without ill effects. As milk is more than 85 per cent. water, it is not surprising that cows, which yield 55 to 60 and more pounds of milk daily utilize large amounts of water. wants it, and she will not do her best in the way of yvielding milk unless her thirst is satisfied when it.isâ€"most keen. There was no apparent difference in the gains in body weights of the cows which were watered twice daily and those watered at will. These methods of watering were effective of greater milk yields, larger consumption _ of water and greater gains in live weight than occurred where the animals were watered only once a day. The experiments point to the tentative conâ€" clusion that the advantage of having water continuously available lies mainly in the saving of labor rather than in a greater production of milk..
