Therefore on behalf of the council I make this appeal as we near the end of the year for the pay- ment of the current years levy and any arrears of taxes on your property. Will you make some pay- ment before the end of the year? ' Our treasurer is authorized to accept and give full credit for any payment. December 11th, 1935. It has been the constant aim of your council to so administer your affairs as to be able to relieve in every possible way the burden of taxation. There are prospects at in the near future there will be a lightening of the burden on the rate- payers but to accomplish this end we must have the co-operation1 of the taxpayers in the payment of taxes. In maintaining the good financial standing of the Village of Richmond Hill a most important feature is the BROMPT PAYMENT OF TAXES by our ratepayers. During the year the members of council as your elected representatives have given diligent care and attention to the business of the municipality and consistently striven to con- duct your affairs in a businesslike manner and balance the budget. These efforts, I am pleased to say, have been quite successful and as we near the end of the year our finances are in a very satisfactory position. However, if we are to con- tinue to improve our financial standing, it is imâ€" perative that ratepayers make a serious effort to meet their tax obligations.

Toronto 1.000 woollen mills in the centre of sheep- raising localities buy wool direct from the producer, and pedlars and local stores barter wool for groceries and other goods. Wool dealers in cities and towns are also large buy_â€" ers of wool. Owing to the low price paid for Wool and the necessity of farmers to reduce farm expenditure, home spinning and weaving have re- ceived considerable impetus in late vears, and it is estimated that every year nearly 5,000,000 pounds of wool produced in Canada is spun and woven at home on the farms, par- ticularly for Winter wear. .Many Canadian mills are large users of Canadian wool, especially those manu- facturing: yarns and articles of wear- ing apparel such as suits, overcoats, mitts, socks, mackinaws. and blankets. At the same time, Canadian wool must be kept free from seeds and chaff if it is to bring the highest price. Too little attention is paid to this defect in ungraded fleeces. Seed Market Report There is no present movement re- ported for any kind of seed in eastern, central and northern Ontario and with the exception of an undetermined percentage of the alsike, all of the small seeds are still in the growers’ hands. The year's production for this portion of the province is estimated as follows: red clover, 574,000 lbs; alsike, 225,000 lbs; alfalfa, 515,000 lbs; sweet clover, 275,000 lbs; timothy 3,350,000 lbs. and timothy mixtures, 1,500,000 lbs. The bulk of the red clover, alfalfa, alsike and timothy is in central Ontario, the St. Lawrence counties, the Ottawa Valley and north- ern Ontario. Most of the sweet clover is in central Ontario and the St. Lawrence counties. The only known offerings for timothy are 3 to 4 cents per 1b., basis no. 1, or 2 to 3 cents per lb. for country run seed, while for sweet clover, in the St. Lawrence counties, offers are 3 cents per lb. basis no. 1, and 1 to 2 cents for country run.

Canadian Homespun Canadian graded wools are held in high esteem by British manufacturers and of late [years some foreign coun- tries have shown considerable inferest in the purchase of Canadian wool. In all the provinces of the Dominion, however, there are still many sheep raisers who do not consign their wool for official grading and much of the wool is used in the home. Many almost indefinitely. Repeated melt- ing and straining of the wax removes most of the dirt and keeps the mix- ture. comparatively sterile. As the wax is used up, fresh wax may be added to keep up volume. down the pieces of wax, allowing the mass of wax and feathers to get quite hot, and then straining. A broad- bladed pliable knife, or even a flat stick, can be used to press the larger part of the residual wax out of feathers, pins, and other extraneous matter left in the bottom of the strainer. Slight changes do occur in the wax on long usage, but these will not be serious, states the bulletin re- cently issued on the use of Wax in the plucking of poultry, and the farmer- operator will be able to use the wax Wax Plucking Economic One of the reasons for the popular adoption of the wax plucking of poultry is that the process is not an expensive one. Recovery of 95 per cent of the waxâ€"a figure which can be realized without much difficultyâ€" mean: a loss of about one ‘pound of wax in the dressing of forty average birds. The reclaimed wax may be used repeatedly. The reclaiming operation consists in simply melting down the pieces of wax, allowing the Pigs in Cover The winter care of pigs causes no anxiety to the farmer who has adopt- ed the all-year-round cabin. These portable cabins are useful for 365 days in the year and are efficient and economical. They are cool in sumâ€" mer and provide adequate shelter in winter. Built of rough lumber, with securely fastened sides and hinged sections, each cabin has room enough for four or five brood sows, and breeding stock of all ages will thrive in the semi-outdoor life, for the cabins on the advent of winter can be moved to fresh ground or to wherever convenient. Hogs fed in cabins will rarely become crippled, but for this class of stock an open shed with a low, straw-covered sleeping berth is better. The average piggery is diffi- cult to ventilate and therefore damp. Dampness, impure air, lack of ex- ercise, and over-feeding make'a com- bination that will soon discourage the hog-feeder and relieve him of his stock. Not so with the all-year hog cabin.

As a rule, lambs at the time the ewes are turned to grass will have learned to eat both grass and roughage, and if the pasture field is accessible to the barn, it is ad- visable to make a creep for the lambs so that they can be fed grain while on the pasture. Grain feeding on pasture increases the rate of growth and development and makes it pos- sible to market‘at an earlier date.
