Let‘s not forget that the finest lookâ€" ing hen is usually the poorest worker. wecln nz Becvceme The Chineso made agriculture a part of their school coursas over 4,000 Since the inception of the Dominion Experimental Farms up to 1922 there have been originated by the Cereal Divigion seventyâ€"four new varieties and selections of grain, including 29 varieties of spring wheat, 9 varieties of oats, 14 of barley, 7 of peas, one each of spring rye, winter rye, emmer and sunflowers, 6 of beans, and 5 of flax. The principal variety of all is the Marquis wheat, which has won prizes wherever shown and has brought millions of dollars to Canada. Although the farms came into life in 1886 this great work has mainly been done in the present century, first umder the direction of the late Dr. William Saunders, who was Director of the Farms up to 1902, and then under Dr. Charles E. Saunders, who became Dominion Cerealist in 1903 and in the winter of that year and 1904 gave the country the famous Marquis, which was obtained from a mixed variety called Markham which was in turn secured from a cross made in 1892 between Hard Red Calcutta and Red Fife. In saving meat for the hens, from animals that have died on the farm, it is highly essential that we be sure no disease caused death. The meat ought to be dried and put away so that it will keep well. Decayed meat is not a bit better for hens than it is for peoople. The eggâ€"eating habit may be cured with quinine. Break an egg into a amall dish, and into it stir a generous amount of quinine. Also put some around the inside of the shell. I put this mixture before the hens and they at once began to eat, but not for long. Soon they were shaking their heads as if disgusted with the meal, and that cured them of the habit. mites, which attack the outside of a bind‘s body, the internal parasites are intestinal worms and tapeworms. Egg production is the final answer regarding profiton the poultry farm, and eggs are seldom obtained from a flock infosted with parasites or in which discase is rampant. The comâ€" mon poultry parasites are lice and every part of the head and throat. With the fingers work the paste down the back of the neck, across the back and underneath the wings. In a short time the hen will begin to eat and drink, and will entirely recover. I have saved fowls in the latter stage by the following method: Mix pulverized camphor and grease to form a soft paste. Carefully work this with a stick or end of a match well into the skin around the ears and When a hen stands around on one foot im outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"way corners, not mingling with the other fowls, refusâ€" ing food, although aimlessly picking at nothing, she is evidently infested with the large white lice that burrow into the skin at the root of the feathâ€" ers. They seem to embed themselves around the ears, gills and throat beâ€" fore they attack the other parts of the body. The hen mopes around for a week or two, then a slight diarrhea sets in and the fowl dies in a short time, supposedly from cholera. Answer: Four month old pixs} worked in should be about 100 lhs.

The quality of milk cannot be changed over any considerable time by the feeder, but is largely deterâ€" mined by factors not under his control, such as breed and individuality. The milk of each cow possesses a fixed inâ€" herent richness. The Jorsey cow gives a milk which is relatively high in fat. No kind of feed or care will cause | the Jersey to give milk like that of | Holsteins, or the Holstein like that of | the Jersey. The quality of* milk deâ€" | pends on the inheritance of the cow | rather than on the food which she | consumes. While it is true that houses can be built anywhere, remember that they eost in these days, and look your buildings over carefully to see what condition they are in.

And bear in mind that a valid title is what conveys the home. Insist on having a search made and see that you have an abstract of title. If you want an umbrella to rot stand it handle up when wet. Do not buy land when it is covered with snow. A woman who did that a year ago, found when spring opened that she had invested in a piece of swamp land. Lock well to the neighborhood you locate in.

Here are a few things no man should overlook when going to buy a Do not trust anybody else to pick out a farm for you. See it yourself before you close the bargain. Satisfy yourself that the price you pay is a good investment. That is, that you can grow crops enough and sell them at such a price that you can pay for your farm from the proceeds. This slight temporary increase in richness of milk is not due to the nuâ€" tritive effect of the food, but due to the sudden change in feeding which upsets the normal working of the cow‘s glands and digestive organs, and is often followed by a decrease in the amount of milk given. seed, there will be a temporary inâ€" crease in the percentage of fat in the milk for a short period, but the norâ€" mal richness always reappears within a short time. | proximated by feeding 2 to 3 lbs. skim prices for finished animals are highâ€" milk per day along with as much est during those months and that a grain as the hogs will take.

In the winter we counted them a luxury, and a newâ€"laid egg When cold storage came into being in a large way, less than a generation ago, it made what had been the luxâ€" uries of the rich the common market possibilities of the average consumer. Suppose we trace its effect upon, let Take fruit. It is a seasonal crop, highly perishable. It can not stand heat nor handling, but because of cold storage one can eat apples twelve months in the year, and oranges, and bananmas. The egg businessâ€"still another branch of farming.

The poultry businessâ€"still more farming. « Wipe cut our refrigerators, our reâ€" frigerator cars, our cooling plants, our cold storage plants, and these lines of business, every one of them, would decay and disappear from the earth in their present form. They are built up, and they exist on cold storâ€" age, just as much as they exist beâ€" cause of meadows or pastures or rail roads or people to consume food. The livestock businessâ€"the biggest branch of farming. o John Elkins, who lives across the road from me, is a likeable sort of chap, but he has one pet antipathy, and that happens to be cold storage. He thinks, and honestly so, that "them cold storage fellers is hookin‘ their claws onto the earth." He has it figured out that nearly everything from sunburn to iaxes is in some way caused by our great refrigeration plants. And John is not alone in his way of thinking. But I doubt if even we, who take a little more moderate position, often stop to figure where we would be without cold storage, and just what it does for us as well as to“ us. Let‘s make a list of the indusâ€" tries that exist on their modern scale through the existence of a system of cold storage. The list will include: !

The Children‘s Dream. Finish the Cattle. Cold Storage and the Farmer â€"Jas. Howeroft. By Hugh J. Hughes as ready to agree with you that the farmer has not received his full share of the benefits. But you tell that to John Elkins and he‘ll say: "Yesg, but look at how them cold storage aigs fetch down the price in the winter!" Well, you can‘t have your cake and eat it too. Can‘t have plenty of eggs and famine prices. Can‘t have a leveling up of prices in the summer and no leveling down of prices in the winter. Fifty years ago it was low prices and a short market season; now it is reasonably fair prices and a market all the year ‘round. Which is the better? But while I insist that the effect of the coming of the cold storage plant as a part of our marketing system has been to lengthen the consuming season, increase the demand for perâ€" ishable farm products, and increase the income of the farmor, I am just In other wornds, there is too wide a spread between what the farmer gots for his spring eggs, and what the conâ€" sumer pays for those spring eggs six months later. And so on for the rest of the list. No Cold Storage Trust. Now let me whack a pet superstiâ€" tion between the horns. ‘The "cold storege men" are not an organized. Now it‘s another story. Along in November, when the hens out on the‘ farm begin to miss the angleworms and to curl up their toes in the mornâ€" ings, the city consumer notices that eggs are going up. And of course he grumbies. You‘d do the same, if in his place. About that same time, were it not for cold storage, eggs would. not merely go up in price, but they‘d go clear off the market! | Year Round Market for Eggs Now. | Note just what happens: In the‘ spring, when eggs were rolling in fast, all the farmers had a market, and something like a fair price for their eggs. And this market continues all the season because, and only ‘because, the consumer in the city is sure that he can satisfy his taste for eggs whenâ€" ever he wants to do so. Put into other words, the egg appetite of the average consumer has been trained to ask for eggs any time in the year. The eatâ€" ing season has widened from a few weeks to twelve months, and the farmer is the gaincr, as he secures a steady outlet. Why Hogs Root. Why do hogs root?~ Experts say rooting is just one of the natural proâ€" clivities of swine. While it probably does help make muscle, it is otherâ€" wise of no special benefit, and has no particular significance. The fact that hogs show a strong tendency to plow up fields is no indication that they are not getting proper feed; rooting does not result from lack of mineral or protein in the ration. Hogs root for worms, roots, and other food, but they seem to thrive just as well when a check is placed on the extensive use of their snouts They also root to make a cool bed on a hot day. Experts advise ringing where hogs do material damage by rooting. Five years ago at a dinner of cattle breeders the late Dr. C. C. James, then Dominion Commissioner of Agriculâ€" ture, said "We need more ten thouâ€" sand pound cows." Judging from the fourteenth report of the Canadian Reâ€" cord of Performance for Pureâ€"bred Dairy Cows, published by the Domin-i ion Live Stock branch, Canada is in a fair way of having her wants fulâ€" filled. The number of cows that have! qualified in the Record of Perform-i ance with records of 10,000 lbs. milk[ or over, is shown to have been 3,227 up to April 1, 1922. (Given by breeds the figures are as follows: Hoiabein-, Friesian, 2,868; Ayrshire, 591; Jersey, 150; Shorthorn, 90; Guernsey, 16;| French Canadian, 9. Total, 3,227. | Raising calves is both a science and an art. One should know what the calf requires, but it is an art to give these requirements in the best and most ; i manner. A]lom to nurse its dam at least four times. This gives the calf the first milk of the cow, which is necessary to start the bowels in a normal condition. Teach the calf to drink, however, before he has formed too strong a habit for nursing. Give him whole milk from his dam for the first week. Then use oneâ€"half new milk for one week. Then gradually increase the skimâ€"milk and decrease the new milk, so at three weeks of age the calf is getting all skimâ€"milk. As the calf grows larger and older g and requires more food, begin giving 1 ground oats, wheat middlings, corn meal for grain, and also give clover| hay, ensilage or any roughage foodi you have.
