I WINTERING YOUNG LIVESTOCK. Prices for feeding beef and dairy cattle are low. therefore young cattle must be raised economically. The re- sults obtained at the Dominion Ex- perimental Station at Fredericton show that young cattle can be raised on a ration consisting largely of good roughage more economically than on a ration containing a heavy allovnmce of corwentratee. Senior yearling and two-year-oid heifers not in milk may be fed a ra- tion consisting mostly of silage. roots Ind hay or straw with scarcely any concentrates, until two months before fmhening. They should then be fed three to five pounds of concentrates r day in order to have them freshen if good condition. Heifers fed rough- age will not be as fat as heifers fed a heavy grain ellowance. but they will who "tutaetory growth and will and” the roomy digeutivo tracts wanted in a dairy cow, and costs will be considerably lower.

There is In old saying that a busy hon is a lsying hen, and consequently scratch gains should always be fed in a deep litter to induce exercise. This is an added mason for making this port of the ration as varied as possible. It is impoesibk: to give definite rules as to tho exact amount of sentch grain which should be fed. A very light feed msy be given early in the morning and at noon, to keep the birds busy, with a good feed at night so that their crops will be full when they go to roost, without an undue Milk, Wster. Ete.--Drink Is also an important factor in winter egg pro- duetion, and milk, skim-milk or but- tormilk. is practically essential. This serves both as a drink and so a source of animol protein sud should be kept continually before the birds together with a supply of clean fresh wster. If no milk is available: beef scrap should be given in s hopper, or some other animal food such as horse flesh should be provided. In many districts, particularly in Quebec, community bone-cutters ham been instdled. by means of which farmers can procure chopped horsefUsh for poultry feed- bg. at nominal prices. _ Brit, oyster slnlls, and charcoal in hoppérs. should also be available for the birds u nll times. .

Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Green Feed--WhiU grains are es- sential. the" are also other feeds which must not be omitted. Foremost among these is green feed, which npart from its nutritive value, serves to keep the birds in good health. This is the part of the ration of the aver- age farm Bock which is most often neyzbcted. Either cabbcges. dried clover leaves, sprouted cote or man- gels may be used and the birds should get as much as they will cut. unount of grain being left was Boon possible. Commercial mash may be used, but a series of nine experiments conducted upon the Dominion Experi- mental Farms, recently have shown that for tout production and protlta, I home-mixed mash consisting of equal parts by weight of bran, shorts, corn-meat and out chop, with twenty per cent. of beef-meal, is won econ- omical than any of the commerciul mshes which have been tried. This mash should be kept continu- slly before the birds in a hopper, and a very small quantity moistened either with milk or table scraps, may be fed at noon. No more of this latter should be given than the birds can out in fifteen minutes. Dry Mal-Dry mash is un essen- tint for winter egg production, and the birds should consume a much as possihte.

P.E.l. In his report for 1923 he says: "Comparing horned steers tied with dchorned steers fed loose in box stalls, both of the pens of dehorned steers when fed in box stalls made greater gains than the corresponding pens of horned steers that were tide in stalls. The average train of the dehorned steers was 40 pounds per pen in the 111 days of experiment. When steers are dehorn- ed they can be fed in a more cheapiy constructed shed. They can be fed in icss time.

Trees and shrubs may be planted in November up to the time of freeze-up, just as successfully as in the spring. Large trees can be moved with greater ease and certainty of success during early December than at any other time. To move large trees or shrubs trench around and under in a manner that will leave a large ball of soil over the roots. A few cold nights will freeze this solid. When in this condition the frozen protecting soil with the tree attached may be pried or lifted out and transported to the new location, where a hole of sufficient size had been pre- pared before freeze-up to receive it. The planting of windbreak trees, for- est trees in the woodhrt, or shrubs and ornamental trees about the home, should be considered as an autumn job by the man that cannot afford the time to do this work in the spring.

Dry sawdust filling " least twelve inches thick should be placed between the ice and the walls of the building. A covering of equal thick- ness should be used. The ice should rest on a firm bed of sawdust where drain-p can be provided. A supply of ice on every farm where milk is produced would aid very much in raising the standard of the dairy product of the province. One and a half tons per cow will keep the milk temperature at a point to pre- vent loss and waste.

The only equipawnt needed is a eatching crate and a supply of colored celluloid leg banda. Once in three or four weeks is ofcen enough to go over the Bock. Bands of a different color should bo used each time, and a record kept of what each color means in the way of egg pro- duction. Where the fow1's age can not be told by the legs, there is often a dull look under the eyes of an old bird, which an experienced poultr.vman can tell at a ghnce. But ln ts11 up-wdtte poultry yards the birds are banded, and records are kept of their ages, so there can be no mistake. The amended reiru'.ations for grad- ing butter and cheese for export are contained in the pamphlet, "Acts, Orders, and Regulations No. 14" re- cently Issued by the Dept. of Agri- culture at Ottawa, Canada. Four' grades are provided both for cheese and butter, being designated "speeia1," "First," "Seeond," and "Third" grade. Tho regulations provide that every cheese, and every package containing cheese or butter, shall be marked at the factory with the vat or churning number, which should run eohsceutive- ly throughout the calendar year, com- mencing with Number 1.

I Different systems of protecting young :treea and bushes from injury from I ginning have been tried at the Ex- perimental Farms. The most reliable practice has been found to wrap either building pop" or a metal wrapping [around the trunk. This applies par- !ticu1ar1y to trees. Even one ply of lordinary white or grey paper of a itough variety is satisfactory. This is .cut into strips and tied closely around ‘the trunk. This material has to be iput on the tree each fall and lasts :for only one year. It costs from a ‘cent to two cents per tree, depend- :ing largely upon the size of the tree 'wrapped. After tying the paper in lplace it is well to mound up a little learth at the base which will hinder "he little animals from getting under 1 the paper and tearing it off. we no the comm-t " an ua ofitG pinkie-9n: __Ho upyqn: "Kam), I l A more permanent sort of Protec-l i tion is secured by the use of expanded, "netal Ilmilar to metal lath.
