A determination not to be beaten Vermin cause considerable annoyance to swine and their presence in large quantities is destructive to profits. It the swine have a good wallow hole they can free themselves of the pest during the summer, but without the assistance of a wallow. some other aid must be given or else the lice will flourish. The application of crude oil to the pig’s skin will make the lice let go. The crude oil may be applied through. the use oi as rubbing post equipped to deliver oil when the pigs rub against it or it may be applied with an oil can. A good time to do this is when the pigs are standing at the feed trough. Colony houses should be well sprayed. with a two per cent solution of creolin in the .autumn and again in the spring. In. a discussion of the costs of dairy farming an item is often overlooked that should be mentionedâ€"the cow it- self. Many a dairy farmer is not mak-' ing as much money yearly as he thinks he is because of the depreciation in the value of his herd. The useful life of a cow is not very long. The troubles which occur in every herd, such as abortion. non-breeding. udder troubles, take a larger toll than is thought pos- sible without records for guidance. A study of the situation shows that the average cow remains in production for about five years. Allowing ten months milking per year, this limits the average useful life of a cow to 50 months. Dur- ing this period the cow has to pay all costs of feed, labor, housing etc., besides a profit to the owner.

Summer-fallow will conserve from 25‘ to 35 per cent of rainfall moisture in the soil. The earlier summer-fallow- ‘ing is done the better the results. Weeds rob grain crops of needed moisture and their presence in fields .always results in lowered grain yields. It is not the amount of rain that falls. but the amount which is stored in the soil which counts. In some years des- pite heavy rainfalls crop yields are light because of the small amount of moisture stored in the soil. --- _.1.a..i. n... ‘ 3505 U C. --v - . , amount of rainfall'fo'r a coming season can be forecast with any degree of certainti- (Experimental Farms Note) With the ever increasing danger of sive methods now; in vogue in the rear- U1 9‘1““.

The taxation changes, however, are at best a minor feature of this year’s budget. The question which political Ottawa is asking and is endeavoring to ans- wer by close study of trade returns and other data, is the effect which the pro- tective and British preferential features of the budget will have upon industry.
