FORMER GOVERNOR
ENDORSES SARGON

Whong the thousands of well known
men and women throughout Amer

their gratitude for benefits they
have obtained from the use of Sar
gon, He recently said:
“Not being ’stalwart in physical
strength, it has been my custom for
several years to recoup my physical
energies at each change of season
with some tonic. Owing to close
confinement in my office, and rather
sedentary habits of life my physical
condition was -such that I decided
to -take a course of treatment

in fact, I have been compelled to re
sort almost continually to laxatives
aud other special hygienic measures
to maintain my health.
“This season a friend of
suggested Sargon. I was convinced
from literature which I read that it
•was a scientifically prepared product
and decided to try it.
“Almost from the start ’its invig
orating effects were noticeable. I
seemed more alert, my appetite im
proved, my capacity for work was
increased and I was conscious of a
feeling of general well-being. I have
trot ten by the summer and am now
Sintering the fall season with more
energy and in better physical tone

“From my own experience I am
convinced that Sargon contains cer-
k tain therapeutic agents which are
highly valuable wherever a tonic im-
Tpression is required, aiid also for
-their influence upon the appetite
and digestion. From its effects
in my case I cheerfully recommend
it as a tonic and corrective worthy
•the trial of. all tired business men.”
Sargon may.,be obtained in Exeter

ing reduced by just this piucli. One
suggestion to meet the situation is
that some herd culling will be in
order. In most herds of ten or
twelve cows there are two to four
cows that are definitely known to
be lower producers than their stable
mates. If these were to be sold it
would reduce the consumption of
feed from 20 to 40 per cent, while
the reduction in production would
be only from 10 to 20 per cent. An
other angle to the culling’suggested
is that the marketing of a lot of
culls to the butcher would tend to
reduce the surplus of dairy products

fect on the market.

Clean Up the Hen House
Every hen house should be clean
ed before putting in the pullet crop.
A good thorough cleaning consists
of removing the litter and all poul
try house fixtures, such as mash hop-’
pers, drinking fountains and the
like, then flushing the walls, ceiling
dropping boards and floor, scraping
loose any dirt’ that may have a ten
dency to stick. After the house lias
been thoroughly cleaned it is ready
for a coat of whitewash. This will

birds and at the same time help to
kill parasites and disease germs, A
common practice is to add a pint of
disinfectant to a gallon of white*
wash. ’Clean, comfortable quarters
for the pullets go a long way toward
increased production during the win*
ter months.
Will Buy Poultry on Grade
As a result of a conference of lead
ing wholesale buyers and represent
atives of the Federal and Provincial
Governments, an agreement has been
reached on the part of the buyers
to recognize Government' grades.
The agreement marks one of the
most important developments in the
poultry industry in many years. Just
What this announcement means to
the farmers of Canada is indicated
by the fact that through the simple
process of crate-feeding and proper
ly finishing poultry for market,
from 50 to 75c. in market value may
be added to the individual bird. A,
minimum differential of 3c, per lb.
premium for all grades in the milk-
fed class over the corresponding
grades in the class selected is guar
anteed by the buyers, and supple
menting this will .be definite and
substantial price differentials be
tween grades within classess, the
differentials increasing substantially
with each decrease in grade.
A significant feature of the situa
tion is that for the first time on a
province-wide basis the
which the consumer readily
quality in poultry, is passed
the original producer.
.Feeding experts tells us
costs less to put the last pound on
a mature market bird than it does
to raise the bird to maturity. It
costs from 7 to 8c. per pound to
raise the bird to maturity, and from
3 to 5c. per pound to crate feed and
finish.
It is further stated that the aver
age range bird may be expected
without finishing to grade “Selected
B” while by being crate-fed and fin
ished, not only is it possible to in
crease weight approximately one
pound, but .what is more important
to raise the market' grade to “Milk-
fed B” or “Milk-fed A.” At current
prices ^this means an added value
per bird of around 7'5c.
This whole situation means that
a premium will be paid for the bet
ter quality bird, and that there will
be very little market demand for
small, thin and poorly finished
birds. Therefore it' behooves the
poultry-raisers to make a special ef
fort this year to crate feed, proper
ly finished and properly kill all bi,rds
