Our ex- perience showed clearly that if salt la kept from the ewes during the win- ter period they manifest a pronounced craving for the staple mineral article after a few months. During the such- ling period those ewes that did not receive salt showed a very marked in- elination to do many unexpected things which might lead them to get some of this precious article. These ewes would actually chase the feeder around the feedlots, licking his shoes, pulling at his coat tails. biting his hands and doing other unbecoming and unexpected stunts.

I The following gives the counties and the varieties of grain crops re- ceiving championship prizes at the Provincial Winter Fair this year: Winter wheat, 0.A.C. No. 104 (Peel County); spring wheat, Marquis (Wellington County); oats, O.A.C.! No. 72 (Bruce County); barley, O.A/ C. No. 21 (Bruce County); pen, Can..' adian Beauty (Wellington County; beans, Pen Benn (Kent County); Dent corn, Wisconsin No. 7 (Kent County); Flint corn, Longfellow (Kan County). ' Another consideration is the feeding of legume hay. The farmers showing lowest cost included in the sheep ra- tion twenty-one per cent. of alfalfa and seventy-nine per cent. of clover and mixed hay. Growers showimz high cost fed only five per cent of " falfa, fifty-five per cent. of clover and mixed hay, and forty per cent. of timothy. Also, the men producing wool cheapest raised twice as many lambs to increase receipts from the ttoeks as did the group producing the wool " high cost. i Are the Hens Uring? Can you tell which hens are-laying without the use of trap nests.' This is easy to determine if one will go to the trouble of handling each bird suspected of being a loafer. When a hen commences to lay conditions in the organs concerned in reproduction are quite different from conditions ob. served during the period of idleness. When the ovary is dormant and no eggs are being produced the distance between the pelvic bones is small. The vent is dry, small, puckered and, in yellow fleshed chickens, has a band of yellow pigment around the inside. When laying commences the pelvic bones become pliable and spread apart to permit the passage of the egg. The vent becomes large and moist and the ringof yellow pigment disappears. A visit to the poultry house on an early winter evening and a half hour spent in going over the hens will be profit- able. Some farmers produce wool at I cost as low as ten cents a pound, while their neighbors are spending as much as eighty cents to produce the same quantity. According to specialists, this wide variation is not due to luck. A survey of many farms show that a large flock of sheep can be cared for with practically the same labor ex- panse required to look after a small tlock crazy?” salt that stiGTiemrted to eat the salty leather of the camera case that I was carrying.

Under such conditions of salt feeding the sheep will take about what they need. and one can be fairly certain that all the individuals will cease to suffer from salt starvation because they can follow their natural inclination to take salt from the box. SHEEP Only recently Dr. Zavitz. of the On- tario Agriculture] College, received I letter from a lending American Iced home from which the following is quoted: "We no in controversy con- cerning the eomperatlve hirdineu and productivity of Grimm And On- tario Variegated n1falfn, May I ask you whether or not the Ontario Irar- iegnted is u Grimm alfalfa?" The following wore the answers given to these questions: The Ontario Variegated is not a Grimm alfalfa. Some Branches are making a study of the Immigration Laws and express their approval of keeping the physi- cal and moral standards of admission high, rather than the monetary. Your Convener is also a member of the Ontario Hostel Committee and can testify to the ttms type of young wo. The needs of the fire sufferers in the North aroused the abundant sympa- thies of Old Ontario members who, with great promptness and efficiency, contributed thousands of dollars' worth of food, clcthing and household furnishings to their sisters in tho stricken areas. The Soldier Settlers continue to be remembered, the Girls' Institutes keep- ing up the making of layettes tor needy cases. This form of immigra- tion work, however, grows yearly less in its demands as the soldiers get established successfully on their farms and their wives become active mehr bers themselves. In one case a Branch invited the mother in a French family who had recently purchased a farm in the lo- cality to the meetings. There were five children and it was a busy time, but the man said, "It is the first thing you’ve been invited to. You had bet- ter drop the work and Co.

The mem- bers felt that something worth while had been achieved with that one home. a considerable number Belgians, get- ting them connected up with the near- est Institute and giving the children some instruction in art and domestic science. One member of the committee has recently purchased a Ford car which she makes socially useful in calling on the many new families in the district, Next in interest has come the needs of the orphan and dependent children, almost every District reporting assis- tance from the Branches in money, food, or clothing for the nearest Chil- dren's Shelter or Sick Children's Hott- pitals. Western Ontario Institutes are endowing a ward in the London Hospital in memory of the unforget- table work for the children of rural Ontario of Mrs. Mina Hutton Wilson and Miss Maud Hotson of Middlesex. In many cases members have adopt- ed children themselves, and seen that adopted children from the various in.. stitutions were getting a square deal as regards health and schooling.
