Since it takes four or five years to breed, raise and develop a horse to marketable age, it will be some time before the demand can be satisfied, therefore present prices may be expected to hold or even improve for a number of years. It would seem, therefore, that is would be a profitable venture for any farmer who has a reasonably good draft brood‘ mare, that he can spare from heavy work, to breed her and raise a foal. well ventilate yet sufficien from sprouting too early in When the roots are pulle should be out off about an mch and a half from the Potatoes as Stock-Feed 1 When the true value of potatoes as; feed for live stock and poultry is realized, much larger quantities than at present employed will be used. With high prices for stock and poul- try feeds and a surplus of potatoes in Eastern Canada, stock ralsers near the plentiful supplies of potatoes have a good opportunity to reduce their leed bills by feeding potatoes. Other countries make much use of potatoes as stockâ€"feed. In Germany for in- stance, only 30 per cent of the total potato crop is used for table purposes, and approximately 40 per cent for stock feeding. On the other hand, in Canada 64.5 per cent of the crop finds its way to the table and only about 11 per cent for stock feeding. 'Stock raiser-s, would be Well advisted- to“ in- form themselves on the proper meth- ods of feeding potatoes in the rations to ensure the best results. In brief, potatoes are in bohydrate cone: bohydrate concentrates. They may be used, therefore, as a substitute for barley and corn, as in the rations of pigs, in which case it is important to bear‘in mind that four pounds of po- tatoes are equal to one pound of cereal meal. ' ' Assistance for Sheep Industry Ontario sheep breeders and sheep raisers are again to have the benefits of the Ram Grading and Ram Prem- ium Policies. The government real- izing the importance of a continuous policy in the production and use of good rams are providing liberal as- sistance so that farmers may buy good rams with confidence at a reason able cost to the purchaser. The Gov- ernment is anxious that purebred breeders of sheep should continue to improve the purebred flocks so that better quality rams and ewes may be produced. Furthermore, it is hoped that as a result of the use of graded rams on grade flocks throughout the province, the quality of market lambs will show a marked improvement. All purebred breeders will be given an opportunity to make application for the Ram Grading Service and the premium which will be paid on graded rams will be as follows: Bonus Payable On the By Domihion Purchase of Department o£ Agriculture XX Ram Lamb . . . . . . $4.00 XX Yearling- Ram 6.00 XXX Ram Lambl . . . . . . . 6.00 XXX Yearling Ram ....10.00 These premiums apply only on rams officially graded under the Federal Ram Gradin'g Policy in. 1935.

This is the cutworm which attacks all kinds and conditions of plants, and so far as agriculture is concerned, is such a menace that each year the Dominion and Provincial Departments of Agri- culture publish the latest intelligence on the most effective means of coun- teracting the ravages of this dis- tructive pest. Bran bait, has given most effective control for many years Cutworm Control Although the farmer knows much about the matter, the amateur garâ€" dener little suspects that long before he sows his highly-prized seeds an and it is made up as follows: bran 20 pounds, Paris green 1-2 pound, molasses 1 quart, and water about 2‘ 1â€"2 gallons. In making the bait, the dry ing'vedients should be mixed; thor- oughly first. The molasses is then stirred into the water and this solu- tion added to the bran and Paris green. In mixing the bait, only enough water should be addéd to re- duce the material to the consistency SWede Roots for Seed cellar, fr C0 01 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th, 1935 may from frost, keep them the spring. ‘d the tops inch to an be store ilark of wet sawdust. The mixture mush mot be made sloppy but should be so that it will crumble in the hands and slip through the fingers easily. Land that was heavily infested last year should be treated before the plamts are set out. This is done by broad- casting the bait at the rate of 15-20 pounds per acre a few nights before transplanting. The bait should be spread in the evenings just before dusk, and, if possible, on a still warm night. It is- not always feasible to afford this sort of protection to machinery on a farm, but a :great deal more can be don-2 to prevent deterioration than is. sometimes the case. Machinery re- iquires suitable housing all the year round, if the overhead is to be kept in check, although often in the ex- ]igencies of farming this is not always. ’an easy matter. In the absence of proper protection from the weather, “rust and decay 'play havoc with the [various parts, and careful farmers imake it a rule to get their machines under cover as soon as possible. These 'farmers know that stabling for ma.- l chinery is as necessary as for the live- Estock. Besides building inexpensive but’efficient sheds for their machines ;they make it a rule to inspect each machine every day to see that the ‘bearings have been properly oiled, that the nuts are tight, and the work- ing parts are in alignment and work- I ing smoothly. These precautions have saved money, prevented loss through ldelay, and obviated exasperation and |worry. The present-day machineâ€" worked farm really requires to be equipped with a forge, an anvil, a stock of dies, a arm, a tool grinder, 'and sets of hammers, wrenches, punch- es and Chisels, not to mention a sup- ply of stock repairs for replacement i of parts. Housing Farm Equipment Want of care of farm equipment causes heavy inroads into the operat- ing costs of a farm, and the fact is not always appreciated that a machine should not be left out in a field or shed unless properly protected at all times from the effects of weather.
