Gather Eggs Utten Eggs should‘ be gathered at least twice a day, and three times daily: is better during hot weather. The time of one gathering should be just be fore dark or as near to it as prac- ticable. This last gathering may not produce a great number of eggs, but since broody hens will commonly search out the nest containing eggs after the day’s laying has ceased, failure to gather late in the day is a common source of distinct deter. ioration. Each gathering should be placed ,411“. :4’ lor‘dblun. Each gathering should be placed in the coolest part of the cellar if no other cool spot is available, as soon as gathered. Eggs should not be put into cartons or cases immediâ€" ately if this can be avoided. The ideal container for cooling eggs is a wire tray. A wire basket is the next best, and perhaps the most practiâ€" cal. These baskets are ordinarily ofâ€" fered for sale as waste paper con- ta‘ners.

The new oneâ€"s1 structure is to be 60 feet [by 30 and will include a small labors for testing soil. There are 1 such cleaners and graders thr the proviLce.

At the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Fredericton, N.B., the sexes are separated when the chickens are from 6 to 9 weeks of age. The brooder houses are moved to a clover sod area on which there were no chick- ens for at least one year and the chickens are confined to a yard unâ€" til they are between three and four months of age. They are then moved to a range on which there were no qhickens the previous year. A pas; ture field or a meadow from which an early crop of hay has been taken is ideal for this purpose.

If the fields are used for pasture for live stock, a tempoxary fence, which prevides access only to chickens is built around the feed hopper. Water is supplied in troughs. This method of watering is preferâ€" able to- allowing the birds to drink from springs or creeks, as these places provide conditions which are favourable for the spreading of para- sites. v Sugar Beet. Crop The commercial sugar beet crop of Southâ€"western Ontario, although seededl late, developed very rapidly and' the operation of blocking and thinning was practically completed by the énd of June. The heavy‘ rain- fall and favourable growing weath' er of late May and all through June brought the major portion of the fields to the thinning stage at the same time, and caused great pres- sure on the labour supply. This situ< ation was aggravated] by numerous holdâ€"upns in the work owing to the wet condition of t‘ne fields. Nine separate rainfalls were recorded at Chatham during June, totalling 4.7 inches, or for June As is usual with spring seasons of too heavy rainfall, some trouble has developed from iblackroot and in- sect pests. Weedls have grown rapâ€" idly and‘ withbut the usual check pro- vided :by frequent cultivation. Not- withstanding, the difficulties experiâ€" enced this spring, hOWevei, the thinn- ed fields generally' show excellent stands and give promise of a good crop. The commercial acreage will be somewhat less than the 30.000 acres planned as frequent rains pre- vented some farmers from seeding the full acreage for which they had contracted. Control of Asparagus Beetlci There is every reason to believe that serious outbreaks of asparagus beetles during the cutting sea-son, such as that which was experienced this spring in some parts of the Niagara peninsula and in Norfolk county, could’ be prevented if a reg- ular practice were made of dusting or spraying all asparagus patches with an arsenical aftr the cutting season is over. The early injury is done [by the beetles which overwin- ter, and therefore, the logical me- thod of preventing such injury is to reduce the population of overwint- ering beetles to very small propor- tions by applying an ar-senical now and by applying it to all asparagus plantations. The application Should be repeated when and where neces5< ary. _..A_ .. V ' «.4. Dusting â€"â€" Use an 85-15 1ime-cal- ' cium arsenic ‘ust (86 lbs. hydrated lime mixed with 15 lbs. calcium ar- senate). To insure proper mixing, the» dust should be purchased from, one of the spray: companies. ‘ Spraying â€"â€" Use (1) 2 lbs. lead‘ arsenate and 2 lbs. soap in 40 gal-1 lons water; or (2) 2 lbs. lead arsen- ate and 1/2 lb. calcium caseinate in 40 gallons water. ' In order to reduce mechanical in- jury from the spray rig to the mini- mum, it is suggested that the spray- ing should be done from the top of the tank and that the spnay mixture should be allowed to drift with the wind over as wide a strip as poss- ible. Long, narrow patches may be sprayed wholly» from the outside. Still another suggestion which should] make it possible to spray wide strips is that an extra long hOSe should be used and that part of it shOuld be held above the plants by a man or by being attached to a long pole or ‘ scan-fling fastened at right angles to lthe end of the sprayer. Sanitary Measures â€"â€" Late in the £3.11, Iburn all rubbish in land around! the plantations to destroy any: hiber- nating beetles in it. - Note Regarding Cyanamid â€"â€" 0b- servationis and preliminary experi- ments indicate that pulverized cyam amid, at the rate of 300 to 350 lbs. per acre, is the mo.‘ effective in- secticide which may be used to pre- vent beetle injury during the cutting season. § fiAiNTiNG AND 3 DECORATING § REASONABLE PRICES Richmond Hill Ontario WW E L.

Ainslie Don Head Farms The annual selection of ewes to keep up the required number is of much more importance than is often realized. It sometimes happens that the shepherd or owner detects something not right with certain lambs which, on investigation, turns out to be udder trouble in the ewe. The ewe should then and there be marked for discard. Sometimes Iboth nipples are affected and the lambs have to be hand fed till an oppor- tunity comes to give them to a ewe‘ whose lamb or lambs have died. If this had been noticed when the flock was selected the ewe could have been sold a year sooner, and the cash put into the purchase of a sound one. A man .shearing sheep should make a note of those injured at that time. The handling of a pure bred flock depends very much on the careful drafting, selecting and mating of the ewes. All that are not good thrivâ€" m- w «m Anraofivn in teeth or udâ€" The handling of a pure bred I‘loc-K: depends very much on the carefuli drafting, selecting and mating of the ewes. All that are not good thrivâ€" ers or are defective in teeth or udâ€" ders or are constantly going lame or stiff ought to be got rid of. It is not a bad plan to discard all ewes that have reached a certain age, and ' sell them off. Five shear ewes are i usually past their best. Many of‘ them may be good for two or more years, practically- all of them good: for one year, and buyers realizing that they are not buying (real old culls) but the whole portion of the flock of that age will usually pay a much better price.‘ Whereas if you retain them yourself another cou- ' ple of years you have to take what you can get, and they; are hard to sell. Of course a real outstanding ewe that is noted for giving you real show. or high priced ram lambs should be kept as long as she lives. And as for the right kind of rams to use, it is advisable to use the best rams possible. Rams that haVe generations of sound breeding behind them are preferable and no ram should ever be purchased that is not thoroughly typical of the breed to which he belongs. Harassed farm housewives, who have suffered through the yearly or- deal of preparing, serving and clear.' ing up after a threshing dinner \may‘ find‘ respite if a new type of combin- ation harvester and thresher, which was demonstrated to a score of in- terested farmers at the farm of Lorne Ballinger, Toronto township, gains general popularityL ' o The machine is a condensed model of the huge threshing-harvesting combines used in the West, and can be operated by two men, so that the annual exchange of labor among far- mers at threshing time would be enâ€"' tirely or almost entirely eliminated! The apparatus is p0wered by a' light tractor, and, cutting a five-foot swath, carries the grain directly; into the threshing machinery, stores the' grain in a bin, from which it can be' removed by a part of the machinery,‘ and throws out the loose straw. ' Farmers of the Brampton and Streetsville district who have seen’ the combination in action were en-' thusiastic over its ability to do the' work of an entire threshing crew under the control of only] two men." However, there were several critics of its performance. One man pointed out that the farmer who used the combination, if he wanted the straw of his grain, would have to pick it up‘ after the harvesting had been done; with the aid of a hay-loader. The same farmer was also critiwl of the‘ length of time that would be needed; by his calculations, to cut a large‘ field of grain. ' Generally, harvesting conditions in' Peel county are worse than them have been at any time in the past five years, although the grain crops’ have shown far better yields than has been the case duri1.g‘ recent' years. Persistent rain's have left the‘ stalks of the grain tough and resil-' lent, instead of brittle, and in many' fields Where the growth of grain has been most promising, particularly in’ the case of fall wheat, the stalks have bee}; smashed flat on the ground by rain and wind. ' VAt the farm of McClure Brothers," northwest of Brampton, cutting was’ being carried on with a tenâ€"foot trac-' tor-draWn binder, and frequent stops' were needed when the machine came‘ to patches of grain lying flat on the' ground. In many: places- in the big‘ wheat field the grain had reached a' height of five feet and more, but in' as many more areas of the field the' grain had been beaten- down by rain' until the stalks were a bare six' inches clear of the land. ' Quality of the grain has suffered A RM ERS USING NEW THRESHER to some extent from the wet weath- er. Wheat heads are well filled, but the grains, instead of being plump and hard, are a trifle soft, and not so well rounded as in dryer Spears. Farmers claim that the grain Wiill improve in quality if it is given a chance to dry out, but they admit that in many; instances the grain is below the standard of quality usually found in fall-sown grains./ To com- pensate the softness of the grain; ‘ straw lengths are much greater than last year, and there will "be an ample supply of bedding for farm stock this ‘winter. ‘ Only] four percent of the land in ithe Union of South Africa is under cultivation, although two-thirds of it .could be farmed.
