HUM MILK AND BEEF SCRAP FOR POULTRY While skim milk has again and again been proved an excellent food for poultry during the winter season it can be dispensed with without ser- Ieu lose, provided beef scrap is fed in he place. To test these two feeds with winter layers they were fed to Atreks side by side at the Northern Ontario Experimental Station. The Superintendent, Mr. Smith Ballan- tyne, in his report, published by the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, states that one hundred pullets were used for the test which was carried on for four successive years, beginning at the first of November, and continuing until April of each year. The birds were divided into two pens of fifty each. The ration given was the same in both cases with the exception of the skim milk and the beef scrap. The scratch grain consisted of two parts each of whole wheat and cracked corn arid one part each of whole oats and barley. The dry mash was made up of equal part., of bran, middlings, corn meal, ground oats and barley. The beef scrap was fed from a hopper and the skim milk from a drinking vessel. It was found that the average cost' of the food per year was elmoet the} lame, amounting to $74.22 when the skim milk was used and $73.52 for the beef scrap ration. The number of eggs laid nmoanted to an average per year of 4,648 for the skim milk fed lot and 4,944 for the others. The cost per dozen of eggs and the grrofiU were practically equal. This test, Mr. Bellantyne points out, goes to show that where the farmer has a supply of skim milk there is practically no advantage in using beef scrap, but where skim milk is not available beef scrap may be used with profit in the feeding of winter layers. hlENNlAL AND ANNUAL SWEET y CLOVER Ir, In the growing of sweet clover for. lo hay the biennial varieties have pro-; 't dueed higher yields than he annual e variety Haban in Northern Ontario." The biennial sweet clover both white', f blossom and yellow blossom varieties o were sown side by side with the an- t nual variety on clay loam soil which e had been in potatoes the previous year. The rate of seeding was twenty pounds I per acre both for the biennial and the annual varieties. The biennial Far- ieties were harvested toward the and of July of tho second year of their growth, and the annual variety early in September of the year it was sown. The biennial varieties - much tull- er and yielded correspondingly higher; White blossom port reached a height of sixty-one inches and the ”new bloeom forty-eight as compared with forty inches reached tttho annual variety. Both vuictico of tho bien- nial gave yields of cured u, shove two tons to the acre, the white Nos- somo yielding- 1,TOT pounds in excess of the two tons, the yellow blossom gave about two tons and one-half. The return from the annual variety was a little better than one and one-half tau to the acre.

Many data has been obtained concerning the history ot the Sumerians, the principal settlers of Kish. more end more a specialized line in which a knowledge of the details con- cerning the production of a high grade product is a necessity. No article of food, they claim, has such a direct relation to the nation's health, and the public are quite within their rights in demanding that the old- time dniryman with his careless habits and limited knowledge of sanitation give way to the better trained, more carefnl producer. FLAVORS AND ODORS IN MILK Flavors and odors in milk have a very direct bearing on, the consump- tion of this product. Substances res- ponsible for undesirable taints in milk are usually present in quantities too small to be detected by chemical analyses. Indeed, according to the views of the Agricultural Buteriolo-', gist of the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, there are no tests available! for the detection of these substances other than the senses of taste and' smell. The consumer is quick to oh-', serve objectionable flavors and to change his dairyman on slight Provo- l cation from this cause. Fortunately) the pasteurization process remover, slight flavors from certain foods that' have been given the cows. Such strong Py,orffl substances as garlic, gasoline and rancid disinfecting material are l not so easily improved. Milk handlers should promptly reject milk possess- |ing these flavors as being unsuitable for human consumption. Messrs. Johns and Lochhead, Bac- teriologists of the Dept. of Agricul- ture, make this recommendation in their bulletin "Testing the Producers' Milk for quality" published by tle) Department. In the handling of milk for the trade provision should be made! for the daily sampling for quality anal for the detection of flavors. Not only. is it necessary, according to these I authorities, for the man inspecting in” coming milk to be in a position to re- jeet unsuitable supplies, but provision l should be made for the periodical teet- ‘ing for sediment, and also for the i keeping quality. Such a system, it is: 3 stated in bulletin, would entail little ', extra work at the receiving plant, and 1would provide sufficient information ifor the ranking of the shippers in ' order of merit.--1ssued by the Direc- ‘tor of Publicity, Dom.

The doctors, the nurses, went to Windsor numbered and not by name, so that the arrival of these medical people should not be known. Treves was 'Number Six,’ 'and he used to go to Windsor in a tweed cap and a tweed suit, and get off at a station before Windsor and walk the rest of the way. These were the instructions of a king to spare his people an iota of anxiety regard- ing the Coronation. - "When I read the manuscript I realized the pluck of the king who, against the advice of his doctors, came to London bowing in agony to the crowds, that applauded him. I knew that these words of Trevesvwould show what a figure of courage the king had been. "Then one morning my telephone! rang violently. Answering it, I iteardl Treves' voice at the other end. m said, 'Bring the manuscript at once’ (to a certain bank). l met him there. He snatched the manuscript out of my hands greedily.
