Under the grading regulations. hogs are divided into the following classes: Select bacon. bacon. butchers. heavies. extra heavies. lights and feeders. roughs all! sows. Bacon is the quality on which quotations are made. Select bacon is entitled to a bonus of $1 per hog our quotation; butchers and lights are deducted 81 per hog; heavles are de- Med 01.50 per hog. and extra heav- hs lone $150 per cwt. exported for the improvement of stock and hogs entered for exhibition at for- eign, state or national expositions are stockyards or such other points as may from time to time be designated by me federal authorities, hogs arriving at abattoirs and hogs for export are sub- the Dominion Government under its Live Stock and Live Stock Products Act have been proclaimed by the Lieu- tenant-Governor of Ontario as efl’ective mthisprovince,andwillbeputinop- eration immediately.

C. Elford. Dominion Poultry Husbandman. It is as simple as it is practical: Take the cost of feed per hundredweight. divide it by the cost of eggs per dozen and multiply this quotient by three. This gives you the number of eggs per day which a flock of 10 hens must lay to pay for the cost of their feed. For example: Feed is costing $1.20 per.cwt., and eggs selling at 30 cents per dozen: Apply the formula the quotient is tour; this multiplied by three gives the result 12â€" or the number of eggs which a flock of 100 hens will have to average day to day for feed at that cost ratio. These are three principal methods of reducing the cost of producing crops Field Husbandry experts of the Do- minion Experimental Farms observe. These methods include the economical production of heavier yields per acre, the use of larger machinery and more labour-saving equipment. and the op- eration of a larger area of land under cultivation. In addition to this, infor- mation derived from cost of production of more profitable crops. Dr. H. A.

To have fresh rhubarb for the winter table all one has to do is to take a portion of a crown from the garden in the late fall (or dig it up during the winter). let it freeze solidly, then put lt in the cellar where the temperature is from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

He isn’t making any mon- ey. but he is living on the products of uhis farm in spite of all the govern- ment has done to relieVe him. Hamp bought some good milch cows and horses and mules and chickens and hogs. He planted a garden. He bought an incubator and some broader houses. He turned half the land I had plowed up back into pasture. He has’nt been to town in a month. The only ice they see is in th e winter time. Eckhardt. Jr. IVâ€"Franoes Smith, Ros- alie McKmnon.

He has regained his health and is happy now that he has to get up at five am. and milk the cows and slop the hogs and feed the horses and turn out the chickens. He is feeding his hogs better stuff than he ever got to eat in town. He is eating real victuals. Hamp’s gone back to cussing the government and the city folk for mis- treating the farmers. He’s living on his farm and not of! it. My farm manager came to town every day to get fresh milk and ice and green vegetables and gasoline and the daily paper and spare parts for the tractor. He was a white collared boy. He had read all there was to read a- bout growing wheat. “We got together. I paid the interest and Hamp took the farm, after I agreed to haul ofl‘ the tractors. “The bank called my loan. Hamp wanted his interest. The wife and kids had spent all he had saved and then some. His health was bad. His stomach was all upset. He whipped a brother Elk for trumping his ace. “I was going to get rich quick rais- ing wheat. I got poor sudden. Hail ruined my first crap in 1930 and the Farm Board did worse than that in 1931, my last crap.. “Hamp had never cultivated more than 320 acres used the rest for pas- ture. I applied modern methods and plowed it. I applied efficiency and cut out useless details by eliminating all the mules and cows and pigs and chickens. I could buy meat and milk cheaper than I could produce it. I tore down the fence around the garden. I hir- ed a farm manager. bought four big tractors and plowed 400 acres a day by running them twenty-four hours a day. That‘s the modern way of far- ming in the wheat belt. “I paid $50 an acre for 1,280 acres. The land cost him $10. I paid $20,000 down and promised to pay the balance in one two and ‘three years at eight per cent. interest. I borrowed the $20,- 000. It was just another case of every- body paying everybody else twice what their property was worth. {harder and more tedious. Everybody but the tanner thinks it is a lead pipe cinch to make money farming. Far- mers don’t think; they know. “Hamp Bennett sold me his farm He had lived on it thirty years, had always made a good living and had saved a little money. His wife and the kids wanted to move to town. She wanted to play society. The kids want- ed to dance and go to the talkies and to play football. Hamp sort of thought he would be happy playing around the Elks Club and doing nothing but collect interest. , “It’s funny how we got to where we thought we just had to have every- thing we wanted, or could get, regard- less oi the cost. “I bought a. farm in 1929. Like every fellow born on a farm 7 always thought I could run one and make a. barrel of money out of it, by applying modern scientific methods and operating it on an efficiency basis with no lost motion and by cutting out a lot or frivolous details which only made the farm work nature of the man who told the world â€"and whose book is still telling the worldâ€"that he liked the depression, you will read this chapter five from Ansley’s new book.
