Mine host Benj. Brillinger, of the Domin- ion fiotel, prepared a very appetizing and sumptuous repast.

Honorary Fireman.” In response Mr. J. H.

Mr. Stevens will speak on Wednesday evening, Dec. 12. It is expected that farm people will group together and motor in, if the roads are good, from all distances within a radius of one hundred miles to hear him. Farmers are anticipat- ing that Mr. Stevens will deal par- ticularly with the distribution of live- stock and other farm products and perhaps make suggestions as to rem- edial measures for dealing with the evils and unethical practises exposed before the Price Spreads and Mass Buying Committee. Anticipating a record crowd that evening the officers of the U.F.O. have engaged the largest hall in the hotel, the Crystal Ballroom, which seats between one thousand and twelve hundred. And they are anx- ious that it should be filled with rural people. While Mr. Stevens’ address will not begin until 8.30, farm people who motor in from a distance ane ad- vised to be on hand by 8 o’clock as tickets will go on sale to the public at 8.10.

Some eggs wil dirty in spite of the best of the egg cleaning work is g'r duced if the nests are cleans gathering time when dirt ii and a. little clean straw is a( or twice each week. This i early morning job before start using the nests. If you have no straw stack, keep a bale of straw in each laying house so that a. meas- ure of loose straw can be worked up and added by handfuls to any nest! where the boards are becoming have 01‘ the straw is soiled. ‘ Clean and Sterilize All Dairy Utensils The keeping quality of milk de- pends directly upon the number of bacteria present and this in turn de- pends upon the thoroughness with which dairy utensils have been cleaned and sterilized. The use Of live steam or scalding with boiling water is always effective providing it is available in sufficient volume, but as a general rule the quantity available on the average farm is in- adequate for effective results. It is for this reason that the use of chlor- ine in suitable form is recommended by bacteriological experts. It acts rapidly in cold water, and is cheaper and more convenient that the heat treatment generally recommend-ed. When properly employed chlorine sterilization gives excellent results and the practice, already general among milk and other food plants, is spreading to the dairy farms. The Canadian Honey Cmp For the third successive year it would appear that the honey crop of Canada is going to fall below normal. The peak year was 1931 when 29,666,- 097 pounds were produced, but due to winter killing of clovers, drought conditions during the summer and in- sect damage in certain regions, the crop of 1932 fell short of the pre- vious crop by 10,195,597 pounds. An increase of 73,000 pounds OVer 1932 was recorded in 1933 with another slight Jimjrease promised] flor 1934. Apparently every cloud has its silver lining, for in this case the short crops have permitted the producers to dis- pose of all carry-over from previous years at slightly advanced prices. The present crop is moving quite briskly on the domestic market at prices slightly in advance over last year, while a fair amount is advancing to the export markets. Although it is risky to forecast production, the con- dition of main honey producing plants and of the bees themselves going into winter are promising, however, these conditions are not the whole story. Finishing of Poultry} In experiments in crate finishing1 of poultry, it has been found that buckwheat screenings or standard re. cleaned screenings, a by-product from: the grain elevators consisting largely} of wild buckwheat and broken. wheat: with a small admixture of wild oats,! flaxseed and other weed' seeds, give excellent results both as to quantityl and quality of flesh. It was also shown in these experiments that small unmarketable potatoes may be used to advantage in crate feeding. Fed in conjunction with home-grown grains these potatoes gave as econom- ical gains as.corn and produced better col-our and finer quality in skin and flesh. The potatoes may be fed either boiled and mashed, or" raw and finely chopped, and mixed with the ground grains and milk. Cheap Feeds for Crate Winter Care of Live Stock With the approach of winter, farm- ers should make sure that the barns in which their stock are to pass the cold months are clean and free from possible infections diseases or para- sites. Most progressive stockmen whitewash their stables at least Once a year, but frequent dustings with an old broom are needed to keep the cob- webs and dust down. Before the cattle leave the pastures for the season, it is good practice to inspect the whole herd for possible skin disâ€" eases as ring-worm, scab or mange, lice or warbles, are dangerous and each needs special treatment. Rings worm is doubly dangerous because humans may contract it through hand ling or from curryâ€"combs and brush- es. rfincture of iodine applied daily following washing with soap and twater will cure ringâ€"worm, but scabies ‘or mange need to be dipped in or sprayed with special solutions such as crude petroleum or equal parts of kerosene and cottonseed oil, which mixture is also recommended for lice. No animal can give its best milk pro- duction or put on flesh when feeding such parasites. EWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER CurreIIt Crop Report Mild weather in November resulted work is great place 01‘ it takes will becc added THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6th, 1934 at “C "ns and relie able conditions. Too many potato mowers in South Simcoe have been forced to market their crops because of having inadequate storage facili- ties. This results in an over-supply on the market and depressed prices. Buyers in Haldimand are offering as high as $1.00 to $1.15 bus. for Durham wheat. Potato sales in Frontenac are fairly heavy, with prices ranging from 50c. to CDC. 2. bag. Two car- loads of cattle have been exported! from Grenville to the U.S.A., with up to $100 being paid for accredited and blood-tested cows, just freshened. Close to 70,000 lbs. boxâ€"packed, gov- ernment inspected, dressed poultry, were shipped: out of Prescott and Busâ€" sell last. week. Grade cows in Middle- sex have been selling at $30 to $35 for best individuals and down to $12 to $15 for common kinds, and good commercial purebred- cows at $50 to $75 each. ‘ A Remarkable Holstein A 13-year-old Holstein cow that on November 23rd gave birth to her 13th lively salf, and that has in her lifeâ€" time produced 107,750 pounds of milk and 4,395 pounds of butter, is some- thing worth while to talk about and much more worth While to see. in the college herd along- witlm seven of her own daughters. Three times she has borne twins and seven times, single calves. This is the record of Colantha Toitilla O.A.C. 111839 G.M., a. cow bred at the O.A.C., Guelph, and still Colantha Toitilla represents several generations of college breeding. Her sire, Sir Paul Colanthus, was former herd sire at the O.A.C. and was a. double grandson of the famous four»- dation cow, Pauline Colantha Posch. Her dam was a college bred cow, Toitilla Rue II., with a four-year.old record of 15,253 pounds of milk and 554 pounds of butter fat, and was sired by Johanna Rue IV’s Lad. This cow is a splendid example of a combination of production and re- production. She and her offspring- will be much in evidence in the demonstrations during the agriculâ€" tural conference and short course at the college, January 2nd to 11th, when scores of Ontario’s best young farmers will convene to discuss their problems and to enjoy ten days of real college life.
