Winter Fair Dates
Royal Winter Fair, Toronto—Nov,
22 to *30.
Ontario Provincial Winter Fair,
Guelph—December 5 to 7.
Get Rid of the Barnyard Boarder's
In preparing for housing the
stock for winter, all surplus work
horses, finished beef cattle, boarder
dairy cows or decidedly poor type
heifers, old ewes and old sows should
be culled out and disposed of to the
best advantage.
Overhaul the Farm Plant
Now is the time tor farmers to pay
attention to their buildings .Slacken
all bands on stave silos; repair any
leaks in the roof, check up on storm
sashes; fit them, and repair broken
glass; clean out all trap gullies;
thoroughy flush drains, clean out
root cellar ventilators, fresh air in
takes and foul air outlets in barns
stables, piggeries and poultry hous
es; thoroughly inspect and overhaul
the water supply, if a pump service
check up on valves, if a pressure sup
ply see that all pipes are protected
from frost.
Turkeys in Winter
Breeding turkeys should not be
confined to houses during the win
ter months but allowed to roam at
will during the day. The only shel
ter that is required for them at night
is a straw barn or closed-in shed.
They should not be kept in a very
draughty place, but any buhld^ng
that will provide shelter from wind,
rain or snow is quite suitable. Never
house turkeys with hens or in heat
ed houses because colds which latter
develop into roup are almost sure to
follow. During the winter months
the breeding turkeys should receive
only limited rations, as they have a
tendency to become over fat it well
fed. Hard grain should be given in
preference to ash or ground grains.
Equal parts of oats, wheat, and buck
wheat are quite suitable during the
cold months, but when the weather
moderates in spring, the buckwheat
should be discontinued. Once daily
during winter is often enough to
feed and fresh water should be pro
vided at least once a day.
Well-Finished Cattle Will Never
Stagnate the Market
“Market stagnation, in my estim
ation,” said -Garnet H. Duncan, live
stock investigator, Ontario Market
ing Board, “will never be caused by
well-finished cattle.
“In a survey of tihe left-overs, I
have found that the good type well-
finished stocked, weighing about 900
pounds, has been allowed to follow
the finished animal to the abbatoir,
when it should have been returned
to the feed lot. Too many in-be
tween are being taken back to the
farm. These are often in rough con
dition, ill-bred, and, in many cases,
ill-fed. Many of them should never
have lived beyond the veal stage,
“With the good abbatoir, and the
in-betweens having returned to the
farm, it would .seem that it is merely
a question of time before all sales
promotion efforts, of the past twenty
years, will be in vain. Statistics
show we are feeding about 4<0 per
cent, less cattle this year than last
with supplies cleaning up and pros
pects of better prices. It would seem
that farmers, having feed to do so,
should feed up all good stockers.
Weekly Crop Report
Thousands of barrels of apples
were damaged by a severe frost,
states a report from Peel County, and
as a result the cider presses are now
running to capacity. Most farmers
in North Simcoe will be rather short
of roots this winter as the crop
would average less than 50 per cent.

Kent County is about completed and
(has been delivered to the factory in
splendid condition. Lincoln reports
that conditions of fall wheat has very
seldom been better than at present.
In Frontenac the farmers have a big
surplus of livestock and a large num
ber will have to be sold owing to
shortage of feed. In Temiskaming
this has been the finest fall the farm
ers have had for several yars for
completing their work. Harvesting
and threshing were over In good time
and farmers have haa ample time to
get their fall plowing done,
Hints for the Poultrynum
In order to have pullets laying at
their best in November and Decem
ber, the months of high priced eggs,
the following points should be ob
served according to the Dominion
Poultry Husbandman:
See that the pullets have dry and
bright quarters.
Have the houses clean and sani
tary without draughts.
Give a well-balanced ration and be
sure to give enough.
Don’t forget the green feed, pre
ferably clover or alfalfa. ,
If you have milk give the pullets
what they will take.
Keep the laying pullets or those
that are near laying by themselves.
Give these every comport and at
tention—they are the money makers
Your treatment of the pullets now
may mean profit or loss for the rest
of the year.
Dispose of hens too old or pullets
too young, it costs too much to feed
them.
The time of scarcity is the time
to arrange for your market for the
whole year.
Honey Industry Prospers
With honey prices good and still
gradually increasing a distinct tone
of optimism prevails throughout
the beekeeping industry and bee
keepers are .looking forward with
more than usual enthusiasm to their
annual convention which will be held
at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto,
beginning at 1.30 p.m. on Tuesday,
November 28th and continuing .until
Thursday, November 30.
It is felt by officials of the On
tario society, that if beekeepers can
give a little more attention to care
ful and up-to-date methods, the in
dustry will find itself on a perm-,
nently sound basis. Wltli this in
view, a program has been arranged
for the annual convention which will
be of outstanding interest and es
pecially helpful to the owners of a
few colonies of bees.
Special attention is called to the
program for Tuesday evening, Nov.
28th, when there will be addresses
by Colonel the Honorable T. L. Ken
nedy, Minister of Agriculture, and
Dr. G. I. Christie, President of the
Ontario Agriculutral College, follow
ed by an illustrated talk on “Home
Beautification” by Professor A. H.
Tomlinson of the O. A. C.
Complete programs may be obtain
ed by writing to the secretary, Dr. E.
J. Dyce, Department of Agriculture
Ontario Agricultural College Guelph.
Clover and Grass Seed
An official report on commercial
production of clover and grass seed
in Ontario shows that while the al-
sike acreage was slightly less than
in 193 2 a higher yield per acre re
sulted in perhaps a 10 per cent,
greater quantity of seed than 1932.
The seed is slightly smaller than
usual but of good colour and plump.
It is also freer of weed seeds than
usual. The 193*3 spring seeding of
alsike is reported as very unpromis
ing in central and western Ontario
owing to the summer’s prolonged
drought.
Second cut alfalfa seeded well this
year in many districts so that a sub
stantial quantity of good seed is in
sight. The quality of the seed is
good, being notably free from weed
seeds and foreign matter. Thus
there should be ample supplies of
alfalfa seed for domestic require
ments this year. There will be more
red clover than last year, with most
(of it concentrated in southwestern
Ontario. Sweet clover is a much be
low normal crop in the province.
More than usual timothy seed is
reported in western and' central On
tario but, less than last year in the
eastern part of the province, in west
ern Ontario there was an increase of
about 15 per cent, and is yielding
from i5i to 6 bushels per acre. There
is very little carryover of timothy
from last year, The blue grass seed
crop in 1933 was almost a failure.

CROWN SEEKING
PRISON SENTENCE
Police Magistrate C. A. Reil, of
Goderich, will be asked to submit
his reasons for sentence imposed on
Gordon Young, defaulting County of
of Huron treasurer, several weeks
ago. W. B. Common K.C., appearing
in the appellate court recently for
the attorney-general of Ontario, was
asked to obtain a report setting
forth the reasons-for the sentence
imposed by the magistrate.
The court will not dispose of the
appeal of the attorney-general, who
is seeking a penitentiary term for
the former treasurer, until this re
port is available.
Chief Justice Sir William Mulock’
criticized the crown for complaining
at the appeal because evidence had
not been put in at the trial where j
Young pleaded guilty to theft of the
county moneys, destroying books
and conspiracy to defraud.
The chief justice pointed out that
the crown had failed to put in the
evidence which they now complain
ed was not before the court. “Why
should the crown be allowed to mess
up the trial and then come and com
plain to us here about it?” he ask
ed.
PERILOUS ESCAPE
The boat of Ca.pt. Jack McLeod
veteran Bayfield fisherman, sank in
Bayfield harbor on November l(5th.
Her crew of two were safely remov
ed, exhausted and injured, in a
thrilling rescue after a 12-hour
struggle with high seas and in bit
ter cold and darkness in the open
lake, miles off shore.
The rescue was made by Captain
Louis McLeod, profiler of Captain
Jack, and a companion named Mc
Dowell, in the Helen the Second.
After several unsuccessful attempts
the tow having broken six times,
John McLeod, Jr,, and a companion
were taken aboard the Helen, young
McLeod with his hand terribly lac
erated, an injury received when the
spar of the boat was torn away. Mc
Leod was on the verge of uncon
sciousness. His wound required eight
stitches.
The two McLeod fishing smacks
left Bayfield the previous day to
lift their nets off Kettle Pt. Shortly
after they left, storm signals were
displayed for a westerly gale. The
rudder of Captain Jack’s boat was
carried away and after much diffi
culty a tow was secured from the
companion boat. iSix times the line
broke and finally the spar of the
disabled boat was torn away.
Gasoline Exhausted
It was then after midnight and
with gasoline supply almost exhaust
ed, Louis McLeod struck out for
Bayfield for a fresh supply. The
helpless craft threw out her fish nets
to act as a sea anchor.
The rescue boat returned two
hours later with a fresh supply of
gasoline and new gear, this time
using anchor chains. It was three
in the morning when the boats hove
in sight of the Bayfield harbour,
only to have Capt. Jack’s boat
ground and break up, but not be
fore the -creW were taken off in a
gallant and heroic rescue, it having
four times failed. ■
Both men were at the point oif ex
haustion and young .McLeod had lost
much blood. Several times the res
cuers and rescued All but gave Up
the struggle.
The Goderich fishing fleet of five
boats also made Jiort with much dif-
ficulty. The craft of Peter McDon
ald was driven north by the gale and
forced to take shelter at Kincardine.

BOOTH ACQUITTED ON
CONSPIRACY
Huron County Auditor Had
Previously Been Convicted
of Bribery
William T. Booth, of Wingham,
was acquitted on a charge of con
spiracy at the adjourned session of
the County Judge’s Criminal Court
which was held on Wednesday, of
last week, to dispose of the second
count against the accused. After ar
gument by counsel and summing up
by Judge Costello.
Last week Booth was convicted of
■bribery and given one month sus
pended sentence. Owing to the snow
storm and the impassable roads. Ro
bert Higgins, of Hensail, was. excus
ed. His trial on a charge of bribery
and conspiracy was set for Thursday
of this week.
At the outset last Thursday Crown
Attorney Holmes said he had no fur
ther evidence to offer, and was will
ing to allow the evidence taken at
the bribery trial last wees; to apply.
R. S. Hetherington, counsel for
the defence, contended that his
client had already been convicted on
a set of facts and could not be tried
on the same set of facts. He went
on to say that once Booth had accept
ed $5’0, and had been, convicted, he
had only committed one crime and
could not be punished twice for it.
Crown Attorney Holmes .quoted
several legal authorities where two
convictions had been recorded on the
same set of facts. He said a man
can conspire without accepting money
Evidence Bi^ufficient
Judge Costello said he was not
satisfied that the evidence given at
the trial last week was sufficient to
convict on a charge of conspiracy.
He said he was well satisfied evi
dence of both ,Crown and defence
and that in his opinion there was no
conspiracy on the part of Booth and
Higgins to accept monep from Young
There was no evidence that Booth
had said anything to Higgins and
vice versa, to the effect that they
were going in together on taking of
this money, and that Young would
pay them $50. His Honor then pass
ed judgment.

TIMOTHY SEED ESTIMATES
According to estimates reported
by Dominion Seed Branch field of
ficers there is less timothy seed in
the .Maritime Provinces than in 1932
with some 100,000 pounds in Prince
Edward Island and 60,000' pounds in
New Brunswick. In Quebec the to
tal timothy seed is estimated at not
more than 60 per cent, that of last
year, about 600,0'010' pounds of com
mercial timothy seed being expected
from this year’s production. From
western and central Ontario more
usual timothy seed is reported, but
less in the eastern part of the prov
ince. In the counties of Prescott
and Russell there may be some 350,-
000 pounds. Very little carry-over
of timothy from last year is report
ed. In Alberta there was almost a
total failure of timothy seed produc
tion in the Pincher C’feek area, the
estimate of commercial supplies for
the province being 250,000 pounds,
mainly in the northern part of the
Province and the Peace River district
The estimates from British Colum
bia are 502,000 pounds of timothy
and 3,15100 pounds of timothy and al
sike mixed.
