News and Information ! tion during the winter months, i iI I for The Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) Market Tor Barley in Bacon and Beef • Three Ways to Lower Costs There are three principal methods of reducing the cost of producing crops. These methods include the economical production of heavier yields per acre, the use of larger machinery and more labor-saving equipment, and the operation of a larger are# of land under cultiva­ tion. In addition to this, informa- derived from cost of production studies make possible the substiut- ion of more profitable fitable crops. There is practically no limit tc the production of barley in Canada and recent tests, show that it pro­ duces better bacon and beef other grains. It is proving the equal of corn when fed suitable supplements in the of home-igroiwn leguminous rough­ ages. Barley can be usecl in almost any proportion of the grain ration than fully with fofrm fertility and 6.4 per cent, better hatchability of fertile eggs can be obtained from birds where alfalfa hay instead of straw is used as lit­ ter in the breeding pens. The alfal­ fa should be used as litter during the winter months preceding the breeding season and the same treat­ ment given to males, and females. When an automobile skidded on the icy road at Brucefield last Wed­ nesday evening, Marie, 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Gra­ ham, St. Thomas, was injured. The baby was attended by Dr. Shaw, of Clinton, and three stitches were quired to close a head wound.

Most progressive stockmen whitewash their stables at least once, a year, but frequent dustings with an old broom are needed tc keep the cobwebs and dust down. Before the cattle leave the pasture for the season, it is good practice to inspect the whole herd for possible skin diseases or parasites'. Such dis­ eases as ring-worm, scab or mange lice or warbles, are dangerous and each needs special treatment. Ring- worm is doubly dangerous because humans may contract it through handling or from curry-combs and brushes. Tincture of iodine applied daily following washing with soap and water will cure ring-worm, but-t-up to one hundred per cent. As a scab or mange need to be dipped or sprayed with special solution 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 production or put on flesh when feeding such parasites.

A .good thorough cleaning consists of removing the litter and all poul­ try house fixtures, such as mash hoppers, drinking fountains and the like, then flushing the walls, ceil­ ings, dropping boards and floor scraping loose any dirt that may have a tendency to stick, After the house has been thoroughly cleaned it is ready for a coat of whitewash. This will improve the appearance of your Hen house, make it much light­ er for the birds and at the some time help to kill parasites and dis­ ease germs. A common practice is to add a pint of disinfectant to a gallon of whitewash, Clean, comfort­ able quarters for the pullets go a long way toward Increased produc- Rough land that is too hilly rocky tc be easily cultivated and also sandy can be used effectively only in the production of timber. Early settlers cleared the woods regardless of the value of the land underneath, and much of this should be returned to forest, rather than be permitted to waste or to produce scanty crops. The very small in­ vestment that is. necessary for seed­ lings, together with the plentiful supply of labor now available makes this an ideal time for putting these abandoned hillsides on a pro­ ductive basis. /Ufalfa For Poultry Alfalfa in the green state has long been recognized as an ideal poultry feed when used in conjunction with the usual grains ano mashes. It is used extensively as range or as cut green feed for birds in confinement during the spring, summer and months in most alfalfa-growinj eas, but the value of the hay winter feed is not so gene known. So much of the year's cess depends on the number quality of chicks hatched spring, that it is important to do all possible to increase the fertility and hatchability of the eggs and the liv­ ability of the chicks. Experiments have shown that 20 per cent, bettev g at' as a erally 1 sue- and each “Too many are satisfied to spend months of effort finishing an ani­ mal only to pass it over to some one sell to sell how and when he likes. I cannot conceive of success for any business conducted along this line. Today economic conditions demand that a producer receive every cent possible from the sale of his stock. “To those wishing to buy there are also distinct advantages in vis­ iting the market frequently. The farmer would be able to choose the type he desires and estimate the time required to finish. In buying Stock to feed, finishing date should be kept in mind with the object of avoiding usually glutted markets.’’ WEST WELCOMES FECIT One earload of fruit and veget­ ables shipped from Huron County brought cheer to 1,800 people in the McCord district of Sasatchewan, ac­ cording to a letter received by Rev.
