Home grown grains may be combined to make an'excellent ration for fatten- ing lambs, but range lambs require a considerable period of building up beâ€" fore being fed a heavy amount of fattening grain. Where the grain is increased too rapidly to include barâ€" ley and wheat, lambs may become grain burnt, or overfed on grain. In such cases they practically go off feed and stop making gains. These lambs are very difficult to handle. They should be taken off grain entirely, and fed on alfalfa hay and roots for: a period of three weeks to a month; The grain feed may then be gradually, Miss Mabel Jennings attended thelmcreased until the lambs are bemg Y.P.S. convention at North Bay last!de a fun fattenmg grain allowance. figs...

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics, in a bulletin issued Sept. 11, esti- mates the total yield in bushels as follows: Spring Wheat, 270,282,000 bushels; Fall Wheat, 7,022,000; Oats, 344,746,000: Barley, 68,800,000; Rye, 6.532.000; Flaxseed, 1,096,000. Yields per acre of all grains are below aver- age but are slightly higher than the revised estimates for last year. The hay and clover crops is esti- mated at 9,884,000 tons, the lowest on record as compared with 11,433,000 tons in 1933 and an average yearly production of more than 16,000,000 for the four years 1926-1930. The fear was therefore well founded that Can- ada might be faced with a hay shortâ€" age, and the Order-in-Council of Aug. 24th was accordingly passed requirâ€" ing a licence for all exports of hay and straw. The Order-in-Council has had the effect of directing attention to the unusual shortage of supply, and the requiring of a licence for export has prompted those in needy areas to anticipate their season’s requirements with the result that there is now a substantial movement of hay in Canâ€" ada from the surplus areas to the areas of shortage.

She collaborates with the pump in the production of a liquid called milk. Provides the filler for hash and at last is skinned by lthose she has benefited as mortals commonly are. The cows tail is mounted aft and has a universal joint. Persons who milk cows and come in contact with this» tail have vocabularies of peculiar and impressive force. The cow has no upper plate, all of ler teeth are parked in the lower part of her face. This arrangement was- perfected by an efficiency expert to keep her from gumming things up, as a result she bites up and gums down. The cow has two stomachs. The one on the ground floor is used for a warehouse and has no other function, when,this filled, the cow retires to a quiet place where her ill manners will cause no comment and devotes: herself to belching. The raw material then is conveyed for the second time to the interior of her face, is then delivered to the auxiliary stomach where it is converted into cow. The young cow is called a calf and is used in the manufacture of chicken salad.

Crate Feeding of Poultry Crate feeding of poultry gives the highest quality flesh, and feeding in clean sanitary pens makes the best substitute. Only healthy birds of any kind will pay for feeding. Before confining them in crates or pens they should be given a laxative and made clean of lice. Feed sparingly at first. Two to four weeks are required for the finishing. It has been found that almost any good mixture of homeâ€" grown grains finely ground and mixed with milk will answer. A satisfactory finishing ration may be composed of the following: One part finely ground whole wheat One, part finely ground whole bar- ley. One part finely ground whole oats. Fresh skim, whole or buttermilk should be used as a mixer. This ration is satisfactory for all market poultry except geese and ducks.
