News and Information For the Busy Farmer Runway": Poultry farmers will and it profitable 1a- the purpose at building up the lay- ing capacity 01 their flocks, to select the best laying hens of the flock and mate stock. In one experiment. fliteen the best layers were set apart (pr [reduction of hatching eggs and were mated with the sons of heavy laying hens. The first year of the test the fifteen best hens laid an average of 123.6 eggs and five years later the yield at the best fifteen had gone up to 246.2 as per hen. Until recently the use of barley on the farm was restricted to the feeding a live stock. In Germany, however, Daley is used for a multitude of pur- ,,,, -_- poses. Millions of bushels yearly are used in the manufacture of malt coffee. Besides this an enormous quan- tityof theminisusedinthemanu- facture of bread, breakfast foods, bis- cuits, infant and invalid preparations, Ionics. condiments and food preserves. In view of this,_ it would seem that iariey is destined to occupy a position of increasing immrtance in all farm rotations that may be devised with 2. View to obtaining some relief from the Canadian Hogs Improve The gradual increase in the number of select bacon hogs indicates two things, namely: better breeding stock and more attention to rations. Com- petitions conducted last summer show that there is a very good profit over the cost of feed it the pigs are bred. right and have the necessary feeds in the right proportion. Although Danish bacon still brings a higher price than Canadian on the British market, the quality of our bacon is constantly im- proving and prospects are that with the $1; $30â€" $120 Per Week Class Real Jobs, Top Pay, Advancement 0 Aviation Few weeks, practical training.operated n 305“" 0 Auto . underGovernmentChartered Company T” ”“59"" Endorsed by Engineers and Graduates a W a w°"""“‘ Free Canadian Employment Service. 0 Damn mm" wuk Lifetime Scholarship.

The tractor and the gasoline engine have also introduced a new fire menace and care should be taken in their operation and storage. The storing of gasoline and kerosene is a kindred sub- ject and the proper facilities for both should be provâ€"'ided. Poultry and Potatoes Small, unmerchantable potatoes may very profitably be fed to poultry. An eXperiment to compare boiled potatoes with corn meal in the laying mash showed that the potato-fed pens did even better than when corn meal was used. Each group was fed a scratch mixture of two parts wheat. and one part oats. One group received a dry mash containing equal parts of corn meal. wheat bran, wheat middlings, and crushed oats. The other group received a moist mash consisting of equal parts of wheat bran, wheat middlings and crushed. oats mixed. with boiled pota- toes. The proportions fed were two parts potatoes and one part mash. Each group received charcoal grit. milk. . “ALI. an!) nrn- green fee-(i, and eater. Both egg pro- duction and hatching results showed. an advantage in the case of the potato- fed poultry. York County is reputed to have more’ great young Jersey bulls than any other county in America. One reason is that there are three Bags herds in the county and for two decades only out- herds. Production combined with show ring quality is considered essential. therefore sires are selected only from families known both in the show ring and. at the pail.

Martin, Minister of Agriculture, scored several notable victories at the recent Chicago Poultry Show. In keen competition they captured the “best display” award in their class. The complete list of winnings by the Martin birds was as follows: 1st, 2nd and 4th cockerels; lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th hens; lst, 3rd, and 4th old pens; and 2nd and 3rd young pens. A total of 46 birds were entered by Hon. Mr. Martin lwho had not shown at Chicago for three years. Beekeepers have for years been troubled by the handicap entailed in their efforts to bring about controlled mating. The queen bee always mates on the wing and attempts to devise a form of selective mating have always failed. For five years a scientist in Cornell University has been working at this problem and now announces that he has been successful in devising ex- tremely fine instruments so that queen _ _-‘-_L V. V..- --â€"-v __- bees can be artificially mated to select- ed drones. This success, when put into use. will enable beekeepers to im- prove the quality of the honey bee. The O. A. C. is working on the new invention in an effort to assist Cana- dian beekeepers. ONTARIO'S WW UM‘ on... v... _ _ Although Hon. W. E. N.

Climatic conditions are also favorable for the secretion and in gathering of nectar and large crops of honey are the results. Because of drouth, the past season was not considered up to the average, yet yields of two hundred pounds and more per colony have been reported. British Columbia also offers good prospects for the beekeeper, her fertile valleys abounding with nectar secreting plants of all kinds are guar- antee for good honey crops, especialy where sweet clover and alfalfa are grown. Climatic conditions are not always of the best, but the steady growth of the industry is an indication that these are not altogether objection- able. Experimental apiaries are main- tained in every province by the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture and in- formation regarding beekeeping may be obtained, free, from them.
