There are approximately 4,500 miles of township roads in Ontario. [Using Wilmot township as a basis ‘calculation, a total of $400,000 could be collected in rentals. Roadsides are- ckâ€"aner where pastured and the cost of weed cutting is: greatly reduced. With the shortage of pasture, falling municipal revenue and as a source of‘ reduced weed control costs, this plan aypmrs to have many features which‘ would warrant its trial in otherl municipalities. I Roadside Weed Problem For 19 years cows have been allow- ed to pasture on the 120 miles of Wilmot Township roads in Waterloo County. The Township Council charges a rental of $2 each for the first and second cows of a herd, $2.50 [for the third, fourth $3.00, fifth $3.50, sixth $4, seventh $4.50, eighth and above $5 each. This sliding scale of charges is arranged to assist the lsmall farmer from 1 to 4 0r 5 cows. The average yearly revenue de- rived frém this source is $1,152. The annual cost of weed cutting on Wil- mot Township roads is $550 which leaves a tidy annual credit balance in the treasury. Roadslides in this township are among the cleanest in the province. Few, if any, accidents have ever been reported probably due Wilmot Township Solves Parasites of Poultry Lice and mites are often the cause of poor egg production during hot weather. Body lice can be controlled by the use of blue ointment applied‘ beneath the wings and around thei vent. Mites feeding off the birds at1 night and living in cracks anfl crevic- es during the day have to be treated :differently. Ordinary coal-oil will kill the mites, but as it evaporates quickly the effects are not lasting. An excellent “paint” to apply to the roosts and nest boxes is composed of one part crude carbolic or, possibly better still, nicotine sulphate}. to three or four parts of coal-oil or a, mixture of coalâ€"oil and crank case oil. Early Topping :df 'Turnips Three years of investigation of the practice of cutting turnip tops for green feed some weéks before the rbots are pulled, conducted by the Division of Chemistry, have proved that the practice is not profitable. A storage of nutrients :takes place in the turnips during the autumn weeks and this storage is cbeéked by early topping. Control of External NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE ’BUSY FARMER [considerably larger than the The round form desired may be achieved most easily by the use of a mould of some kind. Some exhibitors use three hoops nailed to a bar and left open at the top for the entrance of straws. These hoops should be Every straw in an exhibition sheaf should be stripped of leaves or flags. This may be done by taking- a small handful of 40 or 50 at a. time. In this process any diseased or faulty specimens should be rejected. When two or three times the amount required for a sheaf has been collected, it should be placed on a. rack or table to dry, protected from the weather, particularly rain and dew. A few boards on tressels in a 10ft or drive shed should be suitable. A piece of cheese cloth or other light material spread over the heads would afford' protection from birds. a good part of_ the field and: from these make a selection. A much bet- ter way is to choose individual stalks from standing grain. This may be done by walking in from the stubble when cutting is in progress. Plants should be cut close to the ground with a pair of scissors. Freedom from disease and blemish- es is essential and only heads‘ true to variety should be chosen. Some ex- hibitors cut a number of sheaves in Suggestions In Preparing ‘ Sheaves for Competition In connection with sheaves for com- petition, J. A. Carroll, superintendent of Agricultural Societies, says that, in the first place, consideration should be given to competition rules covering size of sheaf, etc. A mini- mum of eight inches in diameter means at“ least this measurement at the center binder. 1f- the bees are young and the loss during transportation not excessive, there are enough of them in a two- pound package to care for all the brood that can be produced by the queen, and the colony will build up just as well without the excess workers. Package Bees There are approximately 5,000 bees in a pound and they may be ob- tained in packages holding one or more pounds, but the two-pound size appears to be the most popular for all purposes. There are, however, many beekeepers, especially in eastâ€" crn Canada, who prefer a threeâ€"pound package, thinking that the extra pound of bees will enable the new colony to build up more rapidly. But, lsays Mr. C. B. Gooderham, the Do- minion Apiarist, experiments with the two sizes of packages do not seem to warrant this assumption, for the two-pound packages will usually build up as rapidly and store just as much honey as do the threeâ€"pound packages Farm Accounts ’ Farming has changed from a lmeans of livelihood to a highly spec- ialized, competitive business. Modern farming involves a considerable in- vestment, and very few people realâ€" ize the extent of the capital invest- ment of even the average farm. This investment equals that of many small retail and manufacturing es- tablishments, yet the vast majority‘ of farms are operated without any system of accounting or records. Unâ€" less adequate records are kept it is impossible to determine definitely the cost of the various farm oper- ations, and a knowledge of the cost of production will help prevent losses. ‘The use of farm accounts and records ‘will do a great deal towards reducing the cost of production below the sell- ing price. Since the farmer has no control over the selling price, his only alternative is to reduce his costs of production to the minimum. Should the soil be quite dry it is important to open the drills and if irrigation is available apply suffic- ient water to moisten the soil, and as soon as the land has dried so as to not be sticky, the seeding should be done, The varieties that are best adapted, according to the Dominion Horticul- turist, are Grand Rapids and Iceberg- lettuce; King of Denmark and Prin- cess Juliana spinach; Chjhli and Pet- aai Chinese cabbage, and Scarlet Tur- nip Whibe or Scarlet Globe radish. cabbage for fall use, the Seed should be sown at this time. size re- of_ the field and) from selection.

Any straws which may break, leaving the heads 'hang- ing down, may be removed with scis» sors. Ribbons for decorative purposes may be added. F. E. LUKE & SON A box or crate of light but strong materials, should be made and pre- ferably provide with hinged lid. A suitable size for wheat would be 16 inches by 16 inches by 6 feet. Oats would require a. larger crate, probably." 18 inches by 18 inches by 6 feet; while a shorter box would do for barley. A collar should be placed iu~ side to support the head end of the sheaf.
