The availability of mineral mutter for the proper nutrition of hogs is of vital importance and the normal de- mand for such in the development of {ram and also in the functioning of the vital processes is strikingly up- parent when such is lacking, more Particularly with young growing pigs and brood sows. During the first period of 60 day: on the above ration the hop consumed The lack of an adequate calcium or phosphorus supply is not lmmedintely apparent. but after u more or less prolonged period such a defleiener will be manifested by I general debillty and lack of tone in the animal and this followed by decreased production. Other sources of mineral matter such as bone meal, meat meal. tank- Me, ground limestone. rock pholphau, , .h meal, charcoal. ete., are more ox- 'e waive but valuable sources upon .

With the object of u .aining some information on this matter, therefore, flve Iota of hogs to. talling in I“ twenty head were fed on a ration composed of ground oats. , parts; ground barley, shorts, and middling. each 1 part; Ind on meal 8 per trent., supplemented with skim- milk.

Of all classes of livestock hogs suf- fer more frequently because of their inability to utilize bulky rougharel, these rougher"! being a fruitful source from which to draw truffleiertt mineral constituents to maintain the body requirements. The cereal grains are low in calcium and unless this con- stituent is supplied from another source such a ration may be found unsatisfactory, if used exclusively. The addition of succulent feeds, such as roots, beet pulp, molasses, etc.. and also leguminous roughages such as clover or alfalfa u, is necessary. be- cause of the mineral content of these feeds, among other reasons, and such cannot be too strongly advocated for winter feeding and when pasture crops are not available. Milk by-pro- duets rank high as sources of mineral matter and are a valuable supplement to the grain ration.

The following is the ration fed at the Experimental Farm, Nap- pan, during the winter months: A mixture of 800 pounds bran, 200i pounds crushed oats and barley (equal'; parts by weight), 100 pounds oil-cake, and 100 pounds cotton seed meal fed'; at the rate of one pound to every three" and one-half pounds milk produced, adding 2% pounds for maintenance. During the first part of the winter, roots are fed at the rate of 30 to 40) pounds per cow (in late winter and spring ensilage is given in place of roots) and good clover hay at the rate! of 15 to 17 pounds per cow is fed per day. ------9------- My Homemade Rope Maker. 1 Only three exhibits from Canada 'competed in the white f1cld pea dr. vision and they stood first, third and 'fourth. l, Among other winnings were first and eighth places for red clover seed; second, sixth and tenth for ulsike seed; second, fourth and fifth for The choice of concentrate ls govern- ed largely by availability and cost. The mixture should consist of a reas- onable number of feeds to make it more palatable. The mixture may be made up very largely of home-grown feeds such as oats, barley and wheat with the addition of oil cake or gluten meal as well as a small amount of cotton seed meal. To round out the daily ration the dairy cow should re- ceive the best of clover hay. Poor hayi fed to dairy cows only means the ad.) dition of extra expensive concentrates if high production is looked for. Avery of Kelso, sau.,bliit captured first In the two-rowed class. In the six-rowed class Mr. Avery took I sec- ond prize. In the Trebi, which includ- ed the large kernellcd barleys grown under irrigation, Canadian growers took third, fifth and tenth prizes. The summer grass must be sup- planted with an abundance of good succulents such as roots and corn, oats, peas and vetch or tmnflower ensilage. The value of succulents to the dairy cow is due principally to their laxa- tive effect and to their palatability which unquestionably stimulates the digestion. A healthy digestive tract in a dairy cow is extremely important and without this she cannot consume the large quantities of concentrates and roughages so necessary for man- mum production. Experiments have shown an increase of 7 per cent. in the milk flow when a succulent such " corn silage was added to a hay ra- tion and decrease of 8 per cent. when the succulent was removed from the ration. corn.

The cheapest milk production is made from the dairy herd while on grass, but there is no reason why fair prof1ta cannot be made from the herd during the winter months. This, however, cannot be done by feeding hay alone or with the addition of a few roots, as is often the practice, but by feeding a well-balanced ration made up of succulents, concentrates, and roughage with a plentiful supply of good fresh water. l "K ....... ........... w.

Under this system a cow which does not show a profit does not stay around my place long. It seems to me that the most pleas- ant and profltable way to incréase or make any profit at all through the winter months is through the dairy cow. I have a herd of pure-bred Guern- seys which I expect to make me a pro- fit during the coming months. One method I have of using the winter months is preparing the crops for market, instead of spending a lot of money to get it done. I do the baling of the hay and straw by hand. I made a box so as to hook the cor- ners together, stand it on end, tramp full, place chain around box and tim- ber across top, then press with lifting jack, giving the length of jack, then catch with prop, trip the jack, put block under, then repeat until hay is, brought to proper size. Bales can be made in this way in ten minutes each, with only one man at press and one man in mow. I made the box so as to have the bales larger than ordinary. --Gilbert Ferris.

Honey has n elaim to be used regu< Iarly in every home both on account of its sweetness which is delicately flavored according to the source from which it is gathered and also because of its high food value, it being 1 con- eentrated and easily assimilated heat and energy producing food. The bulk of Canadian honey is of unsurpassed quality being light in color and delicately flavored, therefore its uses in the home are practically limitless. for must be cut down in proportion. As honey contains acid a smell em- ount of soda should be used, about 14 of a level teaspoon to every cup of money, end the baking powder re- duced. Honey should not be boiled as boiling gives it a burnt flavor. Honey also readily takes the place of sugar in canning or preserving fruits, espe- cially plums, peaches, pears, etc. It also gives them a richer flavor. Honey can also be used instead of sugar in making jams. As a sweetening for summer drinks, honey gives refresh. ing results. The kinds of candy that can be made of all or part honey Ire numerous. Candy made of honey is much better than that made from ordi- nary sugar, as honey is far easier to assimilate and does not tax the di- gestion.

Beuore. l We plan to have twelve cows milk- sing the year around, and from these [we secure an average of $200 a month throughout the year. Every morning Jafter the cattle are milked and the {barns cleaned, the manure is taken to the fields. I raise all the feed con- sumed by the herd. We have two coop: of White Leg- horn chickens, one hundred and twentrilve in each coop. These coop: are cleaned every morning. The chick- ens are well cared for and they return around $100 per month for the year. We raise all the feed required for the chickens, including green feed. Each year we hatch about four hundred chickens, from which our laying stock is selected. We get $1 for the yearling hens in the fell. I will explain, in a few words, how I keep busy during the winter months, pay expenses, and make a little in- come. I have a farm of eighty acres, on which we keep twenty-seven pure- bred Holsteina and a few hundred White Leghorn chickens. HAS A VARIETY OF WINTER WORK. Summer profits depend upon winter preparations. These include keeping as many fall and winter fresh cows as possible, hauling the manure to fields as rapidly as it is made, feeding the separated milk to comfortably housed fall pigs, saving the tools by protection from weather, and through proper repairing, feeding up all fod- der and coarse grain on the farm, and getting everything in ship-shape for the summer eampaign.-George W. Rice. 1 ------_-- T Now that the com-cribs are mud,! the rat population will fatten up and take on their usual slick fall coat; unless, of course, farmers get busy with the usual and unusual methods of rat extermination. I A sow must raise four pigs to pay her board. The average litter in 1928 contained 5.3 pigs. This is too small a profit. Only sows that raise big " ters should be used for breeding. We can pretty accurately judge a farmer by the quality of the alfalfa which he grows. Winter Days On many terms the hens obtain plenty of grit while on the range, but when housed for winter the grit sup- ply is forgotten. If n barrek of fine gravel has not been saved for that purpose it pays to buy the commercial grit.

A regulation governed by the Deatructive Insect and Peat Act, that came into force on Septem- ber 1 this year, is designed to further restrict the movement of corn and corn producte from the infested dis- trieta. The quarantined area now in- eludes a large lection of south-western Ontario, including the counties of El- gin, Middlesex, Brant, Essex, Heidi- mand, Halton, Kent, Lambton, Lin- coln, Norfolk, Oxford, Perth, Waters loo, Welland, and Wentworth. Cer- tain townships in other counties are also subjected to quarantine. These are Brighton in Northumberland; Cul- rose in Bruce; Darlington and Clarke in Durham; Colborne, Goderich, Grey, Hay, Hullett, McKiliop, Morris, Stan- ley, Stephen, Tuckerworth, Turnberry and Osborne in Huron; Pickering and Whitby East and West in Ontario; Albion, Chinquacoucy and Toronto, in- cluding the Gore of Toronto, in Peel; Guelph and Puslinch in Wellington, and Etobicoke, Scarboro and York, in York. The plants under quarantine in- elude corn fodder, corn stalks, broom corn, green sweet corn, roasting ears. corn on the cob and corn cobs. Except in the cue of Elgin and Middlesex' counties, which are placed undar a double quarantine, these product: nu) , be moved without restriction within the quarantined area.
