In con-‘ sidering the possibility of an alter- native cash crop, barley is recomâ€" mended by many leading agricultur- ists, since it may be sown after the wheat has failed and it will bring in a substantial cash return. It should not be sown on the land where fall wheat has failed but on a clean piece of well-prepared ground. There is a good home market now for commer- cial barley and it is most important that the proper kind of good seed be sown and the field be given more than ordinary attention. According to De- partmental statistics the cash returns per acre from barley have been $4.00 ahead of oats. the advice of one prominent dairy authority. This advice applies to all classes of stock. Raise breeding stock from the best females. There will be enough misfits even then with- out breeding them. Poultry Co-Oporative The Chamber of Qmmerce in Nor- folk County is sponsoring the for- mation of a poultry co-operative a- long the lines of that already in op- eration in Oxford County, which is doing a very large business for some 800 members. The prime purpose of the co-operative will be the organ- ized marketing of eggs, which here- tofore has been conducted in a hap- hazard manner, with resulting loss to producers and failure to maintain uni- form standards of quality. The coâ€" operative would also assist in the dis- tribution of birds of high productive qualities. In commenting upon the request of the Canadian National Dairy Council for an increase in protective duties on butter so as to save the Canadian butâ€" ter market for Canadian Farmers and creamery-men, Prof. H. H. Dean, of A. C., furnishes figures which reveal the tremendous value of the dairy in- dustry. The capital invested in the creameries and cheeseries of Canada is over forty million dollars. These establishments pay out to farmers over ninety million dollars annually for raw material, milk and cream. The milk and cream from over two million cows goes into the manufact- ure of cheese and butter in Canada. These cows are worth two hundred millions dollars, which represents the farmers’ investment in cows for two hranches of the dairy industry, to say nothing of the investment in land, stables etc., to maintain these cows. Loans in excess of three millions of dollars were made to farmers of the province during 1929 by the On- tario Government Agricultural Deve- lopment Board, according to a state- ment issued by the Provincial Treaâ€" surer. The total last year on loan to farmers was about $19,000,000, and this year will be something under $22- .000,000. This money comes from the deposits of citizens in the provin- cial savings office. Canadian Crops The final crop report for Canada gives an interesting summary of the basic industry of the country. The Bureau of Statistics estimates the 19- 29 wheat yield in the prairie provinc- es at 269 million bushels as compared with 544 millions in 1928. The past five year average was set at 397 millions while the past tenâ€"year aver- age was 349 millions. The bureau estimates this year’s crop at 143 mill- ion bushels or 155 million bushels less than last year. Barley is set at 84 million bushels which is a decrease of 9.9 million bushels. How Bees Winter Prof. Millen, of O.A.C. gives this interesting story of how bees winter: The honey bee is cold-blooded and if individual bees are placed in a temâ€" perature below 50 degrees F. they lose all power of movement and soon die. Collectively, however, in the colony, they overcome this disadvant- age by forming a hollow cluster with at tight wall of bees forming an excel- lent insulating medium. Inside this hollow cluster, bees are moving freely and by a rapid movement of wings they maintain a temperature of, 80 degrees F. or more, even though the temperature outside is zero. The bees which form the insulating wall are constantly changing places with the bees inside the cluster, and thus they all [Keep warm. Beekeepers must have sufiicient worker bees in the colony to form a thick insulating wall otherwise the bees die of exhaus- tion in trying to retain the heat which is generated. Value of Dairy Products THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARQ Your Woodlot It is time and money well spent for any owner to examine his woods and remove weed seed trees. This is the first step to take in improving the forest stand. Culls should be re- moved and gotten rid of, either by selling or by cutting for firewood. It is always important to leave seed trees of the valuable species, and these it will be found, will seed an area rapidly if there is no competition from advance growth of forest weeds. On most farms, woods which origin- ally contained fine white oak, elm, poplar, walnut, maple and ash, have deteriorated into culled forests having little or no lumber value. The value 01' the woods depends upon its grow- ing stock, whether small or large trees. The first consideration then in any cutting operation, where open- ings are made in the forest stand, is ;to remove the weed trees. Just as the beef cow and dairy cow are two very different types, so the laying hen is a type distinct from the hen that does not produce plenty of eggs. No one understands just why the beef cow puts the food on her back and the dairy cow puts it into the milk pail. Nor do we know why some hens get fat and some lay. But the difference is there and the suc- cessful dairymen and poultry raisers must get the right type of animal. All nations of the world are spend- ing large sums on research and pro- duction. we may as well get ready for the expenditure of even larger sums for research. It is imperative to improve general living conditions of the people. Poultry raising has become a busi- ness. Nowadays we have the mam- moth incubator that hatches 12,000 chicks at a time. This is all done electrically. Heat is furnished and controlled and eggs are turned by electric current. Last year in Onâ€" jario eight million chicks were hatch- ed in one two week period. The ques- tion now is, how big is the market? Why is it that We eat hens’ eggs and not duck eggs? Some say be- cause the hen advertises. As soon as she lays an egg she tells the world. BETTER SHARPEN YOUR TEETH When well thickened remove from the fire, add two eggs Well beaten and stir slowly. Add 1 large velvet tur- ban.â€"Charlestown (P. E. I.) Evening Patriot. One of the things that poultryâ€"men have learned is that direct sunlight is the cheapest kind of feed. Poultry do not thrive in the dark.
