Mr. Fairbairn advised that farmers before buying should get in touch with their District Agricultural Representative or the nearest Experi- mental Farm He also stated that in a number of counties the Department is doing special work on oats grown from seed that is free from smut. In these particular districts there is plenty of seed to meet the farmers’ require-i ments. Use of inferior seed there would upset all the Department‘s work. A report from Winnipeg states that the National Research Council has made a grant of one thousand dollars to Professor M. C. Hemer, of the Manitoba Agricultural College, in his investigation to determine the value of barley as a food for poultry."I'he study is part of the effort that is be- ing made to learn whether, or not. im- ported corn can be displaced by Gan- adian grown barley. as a livestock feed. Professor Herner hopes to get results indicating that barley can be used satisfactorily in all poultry rations, int what form it should be fed, and what‘ combinations should be made. To Investigate Barley year, it has been patronized by over five hundred retail merchants. The market is open six days a week.

He raised the foot he thought she was after, and almost immediately felt one of her Spines pierce the other The following quotation from Charles Dickens might well be applied to the animal world as well as to the human From that day on all we had to do was to report a catfish in the vicinity, and there was one scout in camp who would give up swimming for the day. a sport he loved above all others! . After a hurried consultation, one of the scouts discarded his shoes and stepped into the water . Slowly he work ed his way toward the mass of fish. We paddled about and tried to herd them in his direction. He held the net ready to make a scoop, but a- bruptly shreiked and ran for shore. We beached the canoe, and found him rubbing and squeezing a small red punc ture on his ankle. He told us that he It will my you to advertise in The Chrnm‘cle One of the most, peculiar cases of mother love that I ever witnessed con- cerns a catfish and young. It happened also at the Boy Scout Camp. I was in a canoe with two scouts, paddling lazily over a gravel bottom in search of spec- imens for the scout museum.

If a human drew near, the robins would dart down at him and make frantic attacks at his head or hat. Without a young one, however, as a decoy, it is practically impossible to get a wild song bird to go near a cage, probably because of its resemblance to a trap. MOTHER LOVE AMONG “Farmers appreciate the protection offered by this system against irreg- ularities practised by some truckers,” continued Mr. Duncan, “and most re- liable truckers support the system as it saves time and prtects them from unfair competition. Weekly records show the use of bills of lading is in- creasing steadily.” Bill of Lawn; Protects the Fm “Excellent progress has been made in applying Bill of Lading regulations to truck movement of live stock,” states Garnet Duncan of the Ontario Market- ing Board staff. Killing the File. Most efforts to keep clear of stable files have been restricted to spraying the flies on the cows. The mgestion is now made that the flies be fought in the stable as well. The idea is to spray the flies with a killing spray while are settling in the walls and ceiling. If this spraying is done in the early morning it will be more effective as the flies are then sluggish in their lmovements. Late afternoon is also a good time. Close the stable and spray with a fine mist that fills the air. One part of formalin in 19 parts of milk or sweetened water makes a good and cheap spray. The same mixture may be left around for the flies to drink in plates. Keeping all manure cleared away from the stable and yards Willi remove breeding places for the flies and reduce the nuisance.

It is eight 'feet long and a little wider at the up- per end than the wagon box. The slats are spaced one inch apart at the upper end and two inches apart at the lower end. The slats are about two inches wide, slightly rounded at the corners and planed smooth. The chute should be placed at the proper angle to let the potatoes roll‘ down slowly, but steep enough to pre- vent their piling up. The potatoes should be pushed out of the wagon box so that they will slide the whole length of the slatted chute. If thrown from a shovel they will bound or skip the 0p- enings. If the chute is properly made and carefully used, it will practically do away with hand-picking.â€"Herbert A. Shearer in Orchard and Farm.
