Succulence can be supplied by molasses and by soaking dried beet pulp. Where there is some silage. it' should be mixed with cut straw 24 hours in advance of feeding in order to make it go as far as possible. ; Winter Feeding Mien) A scarcity of both corn silage and mots, the two home-grown sources of succulence. will complicate the feeding lituation this winter in Western On- tario at least.

At present there are ’55 herds. either accredited or under accreditation. He continues to say that this large number will be increased next spring and accredited live stock men claim to be entirely sold out of surplus stock.

It is quite simple to handle, and according to the best live stock opinion in Canada is a cheap insurance against many live stock losses. As doses vary with the different animals, stockmen are well advised to secure a pamphlet entitled “The significance of Iodine in: the Feeding of Live stock” and distri-' buted on request by the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, Toronto. It covers the whole subject giving the methods of administration and the According to Dr. Lionel Stevenson, provincial zoologist, most losas among live stock, particularly those of such a nature as goitre in lambs and calves, hairlessness among hog litters and joint ills in foals, can easily be pre- vented if iodine is moorporated in the rations of the breeding stock and especially in the rations of pregnant maximum assurance of production re- sults. Heretofore the most of fleld root and garden vegetable seeds used in Canada have been imported from the United States and Eur-ape. Field tests are showing that this imported seed is of poor quality and much of it of very questionable worth.

Vegetable growers. gardeners. and farmers and that the extra cost of high quality seed is slight in proportion to its actual superiority. Two factors make for quality in seed grown in Canada.
