Wool Growers Annual allowed to is no isola- clear is no Export Cattle on New Footing The United Kingdom agreement as now ratified, puts Canadian cattle exporters on an equal footing with her competitors in the British mar-' ket, for the first time in thirty-1 seven years. The segregation of store cattle from fat cattle moving on export is no longer required. Fat and store cattle are move freely to inland points, with the understanding that female cattle must be of a quality and type satis­ factory to the British Ministry of Agriculture. Cheek branding longer required; the period of tion has been reduced to one day; and a veterinary officer longer required to accompany the cattle on the ocean voyage. These | concessions by the British Ministry' of Agriculture are part of a bi-later-i al agreement arrived at by the re- j spective governments at the Imper­ ial Economic Conference, and under which Canada recognizes the ''Lon­ don Quarantine Station, according to1 conditions laid down in the agree­ ment. Much of the present success of the wool growers organization is due to the splendid reputation built up in the past fifteen, stated Hon. T. L. Kennedy at the recent annual meet­ ing of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers in Toronto. The Min­ ister of Agriculture congratulated- the management on their progress and expressed the hope that the ex­ perience being gained today would stand the concern in good stead the better times ahead. Delegates from every part in Grafting Compounds Further results of experiments with grafting compounds at 0. A.

It gives first-class results in take of scions and is entirely satis­ factory as >a grafting compound. It is more difficult to apply than or-' dinary liquid wax as a number of coats are required in order to give the necessary thickness to stand the melting effect of the mer sun. This material has proved enough better than the dard wax to warrant its use in pre­ ference. Wound dressings will be discus­ sed in a succeeding issue. —Huron Expositor farmer gets short end “Johnny,” said his mother, erely, “some one has taken a piece of ginger ’cake out of the pantry.” Johnny blushed guiltily, "Oh, Johnny, I didn't think it was in you!” "It ain’t all,” replied JJohnny.

The one way to get rid of this painful blood disease is to give the blood a thorough cleansing by using Burdock Blood Bitters, which re­ moves the foul material and thereby banishes the boils. Mr. John Horbay, Hafford, Sask., writes:—"For over two years I was troubled with boils. I tried all kinds of medicine without any result. A friend told me to take Burdock Blood Bitters.

In Peel County the repre­ sentative has placed over 10.0* farm hands with farmers this year al­ ready, wages running from $5 to $10 per month until seeding, then! $15 to $20 for the summer months for single, experienced farm hands. Improved hog prices are encourag­ ing farmers in Western Ontario and elsewhere in the .province. There is a tendency now for farmers to hold their hogs until well finished as the extra dollar or so per head which has come as a result of the price in­ crease is a great encouragement to the livestock man. Seed oats are being bought in Middlesex County as from 40 to 60c. a bushel, depending on quality. Apple growers there are showing more than ordinary in­ terest in preparations for spraying, with special attention to control cl’ the apple maggot, Haldimand re­ ports that the loss of fall wheat will be heavy in that district. That county also has a marked shortage of seed oats and seed barley. Prince Edward County reports a large shipment of hogs at $5.00 per cwt. York Coun­ ty farmers are optimistic about the fall wheat crop despite the fact that most fields show very brown. A up tO' March 1st very little seed was good demand is noted in Frontenac to be found in the retail trade. This condition is to be accounted for by the present uncertainty in business and the lack of buying pow­ er among farmers, and hence an un­ usual caution exercised by seed deal­ ers in buying supplies. Seed this season will therefore be in the possession of retailers for a shorter period than usual and con­ sequently there will not be as fav- with- sum- not stan- Champion Cana (tian Clover Canadian Red Clover seed is well received in the British Market, where it has demonstrated its su­ periority to clovers from other coun­ tries. A leading Scottish seed firm which pays particular attention to the securing and distributing of the best strains of clover crops describes Canadian Red Clover, which is of­ fered as an early strain of Broad­ leaved Red, as extremely hardy and invariably giving the best results in trials at the West of Scotland Col­ lege. In the firm’s catalogue is a striking illustration showing plots of various strains of clover grown for comparison. In this the growth and hardiness of the Canadian type is noticeably better than that of the English and remarkably superior to the' Polish and Chilean varieties. Late Seed Deliveries In recent years deliveries -of seed from wholesale houses to retail dealers began, for the most part, in early February. This year, however, seed and feed inspectors report that for small pigs, which are selling from $5.00 to $6.00 per pair. It is doubtful if there will be enough seed available, to meet the demand in Renfrew, as some varieties have al­ ready been cleaned up.
