An egg contains. a large amount 01' water and the hen‘s body is likewise composed for a great part of water. The hen should drink approximately twice as much water by weight. as she eats feed. One hundred hens that are lying should consume about four gal-o hrs of water per day. In View of these facts it is apparent that the water supply is particularly important. more so during the winter months. Failure to supply water properly hinders digestion and will cause constipation. with a resultant curtailment of egg woduction. med Grains Pill Wheat. . . 693.660 firing Wheat 109.805 fits 2.659.980 Inlay .' f_' ' 615.544 fleet Clover In.

This impressive showing once again demonstrates that Canada’s soil and climate are the most favorable in the world for producing the highest quality 1 arm products. Poultrymen in Durham reported a} substantial increase in egg production from poultry and in some cases a 50 per cent production is declared. The snow; and ice have played havoc with the sugar beets remaining in the ground in Essex but interest is maintained in auction sales at which good prices are reported. The cheese factory patrons in Glengarry have been greatly disap- pointed and the revenue from that source is half a million dollars less than last year. In Huron the prices for cream have been the lowest in three years. A water shortage is expected in Lanark as a result of the snow and. ice blockage of the wate sources. In Lincoln, the bright spot of the heavy snowfall seems to be the excellent cov- ering provided for the fall wheat.

Cultivated plums and cherries in Canada are frequently subject to the attacks of ‘a fungous diseas called "black. knot” which produces striking and characteristic symptoms. The knot is first in evidence as a slight swelling of a branch. This may appear on an apparently normal twig or adjacent to an old knot. It usually becomes ap- parent ‘1 the spring after growlth commences. when the bark ruptures and the crevices become yellowish- brown in color. The swelling enlarges as growth progresses and. in June or July the brownish surface develops a greenish tinge. ‘Iin a few weeks the entire surface becomes olive green in color due to the covering of a velvet- like pile which consists of the summer spores. Later on this velvety surface disappears. giving way to a darker color and by late September or October be.- ccmes perfectly black, consisting at this time of immature winter spore bodies. The knots may appear ‘at various points on the tree and may either partially or completely surround a branch. They vary in size from 1.; to 17 inches long by ‘1.» to 2‘2 inches in diameter and be- come perennially longer. ‘Black knot is caused by a fungus known as Plowrightia morbosa (Sch) Sacc. The spores. which mature in the Niagara Peninsula about -March, are known to initiate primary" infection BLACK KNOT 0F on branches of normal plums and cherries soon after.

Pruning out knots from branches of cultivated trees already infected; 3. Spraying to prevent new infections. "1h" pruning out knots from cultivated trees the branch should be cut several inches below the external evidence of the knot; careful pruning should be carried out early in the spring and also late in the fall in order to remove the knots prior to spore formation. These knots muslt then be burned, otherwise spore formation will continue even though excised from the tree. The 'following applications of Bord- eaux have successfully controlled the disease: - 1. During late March or early April; 2. When buds are beginning to swell; 3. When new knots begin to show the velvety coating: 4. One or two subse- quent applications at two week inter- vals may be necessary in some years. ‘1. Early litters. Pigs intended for winter feeding should be {mowed not later than the month of September; this gives them time for a good start before cold weather. 2. Clean yard. A good clover field or clean yard with clover sod is ideal for them to run in. Avoil all old yards and wallows: ' 3. Clean and dry sleeping quarters. These should be entirely free from draughts, but provided with ventilation. This can often be secured by boxing in one corner of the pen and covering with straw; with-plenty of straw this makes a good sleeping place. 4. Suitable rations. Fr0m weaning until four months of age the following ration will'be satisfactory: 200 pounds of finely ground oats, 200 pounds of middlings, 50 pounds of wheat bran, 50 pounds of barley or corn, 15 pounds each of linseed oil meal and tankage. 5 pounds of bone char and 3‘ pounds of salt. This should always be fed as a warm slop mixed with skim-mill: or buttermilk. As the pigs get older in- crease the proportion of' barley or corn. Be very careful not to- over-feed; every meal should be all cleaned up quickly and more looked for. A supply of alfalfa or clover hay should be on hand at all times, and a few mangels or apples given dally._ _Keep all pens The successful rearing of pigs during the winter months requires much greater skill than any other time of the year.

B. C. is investigating the matter and has wrtiten to Ottawa regarding it. The matter was brought to the notice of the Government after an official of the National Museum of Canada had been searching for two seasons for certain very beautiful carved spindle whorls formerly used in spinning mountain goat wool only to find that a retired United States naval officer had collected every good specimen and sent them to the United States.

WORKING MEN’S HOUSES V “O"- As an example: when a quarter sec- tion of farm land (160 acres) was brought within the municipal limits of the City of Calgary in 1912,' though assessed as farm land at $50 an acre, it was immediately raised to $1000 an acre, as potential building land. Though the owner appealed to the Supreme Court against this rise in the assessment the munici a1 authorities were sustained. No lan could be pro- fitably farmed at such an assessment, “The cost of a building site may be affected by anticipated increase in value : In Canada the amount of land re- quired for streets to give access to building land usually becomes public land when the subdivision is made. In the standard rectangular subdivsion of land with the streets 66 feet in width. the amount of land used for streets may be taken as fair average at 33 per cent of the whole area. Wth lanes and wider streets it may and has reached as high as 45 per cent and over. If 33 per cent is needed for streets then, to the cost of land as bought from the farmer there must be added 50 per cent to compensate for the loss of land that cannot be sold. It 45 per cent is needed, then 81' r cent must be added. 80 if land is ught from a farmer for $100 an acre it will depend upon the street system whether the building land is valued at 31-50 or $181 an acre, be£_ore profits_ are considered. and consequent taxation, 89 it was sub- divided into building land, and before any building was erected, the municipal assessment was increased to $2850 an acre. Very largely on the strength of this assessment by the taxation author- ities it was not difficult to sell some lots at a price equivalent to $4,900 an acre, or $14 per front foot. In this instance this high anticipated profit did not materialize. for in 1927 the whole 160 acres, though still within mumcipal limits, was used for grazing purposes and asSessed at $40 an acre. The cost of: 9. site for dwellings is affected by the amount of land required for streets to serve the sites: The adoption of a standard street system means that the working classes have to pay just the same proportion for streets as the wealthy classes. The corner grocery that serves the wo classes has Just the same proportion of street area as the corner lot occupied _b_y_ a ten storey _ department _ store. When areas are planned specially for housing purposes, every need for traflic every s_antary requirement, ample light and air, and protection against fire, can be secured with a street area not great- er than 25 per cent, and possibly as low as 20 per cent. It 20 per,cent is needed itisonlynecessarytoadd25per cent- to the original cost; if 25 per cent, then 33 per cent will nave to be added. instead of the 50 per cent which is the average on the present plans.
