What A Difference
(Farmer’s Advocate)
There are plenty who thinkThere are plenty who think the
farmer is “fleecer," going and com
ing, the evidence to substantiate that
theory is found in the following ex
tract taken from the Bracebridge Ga
zette. For its accuracy "The Farm
er's Advocate" will not vouch. Any
one attempting to check all the de
tails would probably turn “red" or
just plain mad. Anyway# here is
the story:
“A short time, ago a farmer
■^brought a calf’s hide to the store
where I am employed. After look
ing up the market on hides 1 found
-the best price I could offer him was
four cents per pound. The hide
Weighed 12% lbs., which at 4c.,
equals 51 cents, and in exchange he
took. °ae pair of shoe laces at 20c.;
one package of puffed wheat at 16
-cents ancl one package health bran
-at 15c. After the man left the. store
I began to compare the values of
these articles. The laces were the
sort used for lacing long boots ana
were cut from common every-day
-calf skin. 0‘n weighing- \these I
found that there were 24 pairs to
the pound, at 20c. per pair, making
them -cost $4.80 a pound, the leath
er gains 50 per cent, in tanning the
12 3-4 pound hide would weigh 16
pounds when finished and would be
Worth $78.60 when cut into laces. So
theory is found in the following ex-
jf the farmer wished to buy his same
calf hide tanned and cut into laces
he would need to bring in 80 calf
hides at 50c. plus 6Q sheep skins at
40c. plus 20 lamb skins tat 2i5ici, plus
80 pounds of wool at 8e, and to make
up the balance would have to hand
over $1.40 in cash. The package
of puffed wheat was marked “4 oz.
net,” or 4c. per oz., or 64c. per lb.,
or $38.40 per bushel. Now if the
same farmer wished to take home a
bushel of wheat converted into puff
ed wheat (which is common ordinary
every-day wheat put through a va
cuum gun, which does no.t add one
vitamin or make it one particle rich-
er in food value) he would need to
bring in 50 bushels of wheat at 70c.
plus 20- bushels of barley at 3<5<c.
and would have only'to pay $1.40 m
cash. 'The. package of bran was
marked 14 oz. net, or about lc per
oz., 16c. per lb., or $16.00 per cwt.
Now if this same farmer wished to
take a bag of common, ordinary,
every-day bran put up in cardboard
boxes he would .need to bring in 12
dozen eggs at 30c., plus 45 pounds
of butter at 30c, plus 5 bags pota
toes at $1 and would only be requir
ed 50c. from his wife to pay the bal
ance. The farmer has no idea how
valuable his products are until they
are powdered and painted and
turned to him in the latest dress
, coat.”

The value of milk records in im

has -just been issued. In 1928 the
average production from eighteen
tests herds was 6,442 pounds of
milk; for 19(30 the individual aver
age was 7,0'73 an increase of 631

Made the Meadows Pay
i
Ontario usually has about four
and ope-half millions acres of hay
crops each year, In pausing across
the province just before haying one
cannot help feeling that many of
these acres are not paying the faxes
and the cost of handling the crop.
Statistical reports . indicate an aver
age yield of only one and one-half
tons to the acre and this dan certain
ly 'be much improved upon. For the
meadows, good drainage and sweet
soil are very important. Roots of
grasses and clovers are slow to pene
trate wet soils and wherever there
is a surplus of wafer on the soil, air
is shut out and hence the bacterial
life is either weakened or killed,
Another point in meadow improve
ment is the use of high quality seed,

Why Hens Stop Laying
A flock that has laid heavily dur-,
ing the winter will generally slow
up toward the middle of the sum
mer when hey begin to moult, but
when the egg yield drops rapidly
until it practically ceases without
any apparent reason, then suspect
vermin. Body lice, which remain on
the birds, and the red mite which
infests the poultry house during the
day, returning to the birds at roost
ing time, cause' heavy losses. Mr.
F. C. Elford, Dominion Poultry Hus
bandman, recommends for the form
er, dusting the binds for lice powder
and applying blue ointment beneath
the wings; and for the red mite, he
recommends a strong solution of
Zenole„ura, or any other oreolin- pre
paration, applied to the cracks in
the. roosts and nest boxes at regular
intervals throughout ’the summer.
Coal oil applied in siiriiliar fashion
at intervals is also recommended.

To Avoid Bloating
Bloating is an ever present danger
with dairy cows on pasture, partic
ularly where the legume is alfalfa.
Means for lessening this danger, ad
vised by animal husbandy experts,
include: Never turn a cow out on al
falfa pasture on an empty stom'acn;
give a small feed of dry hay before
turning out; have a supply of water
available in or’near the pasture,at
all times; don’t turn the cows out
onto- a freshly irrigated pasture, .or
a pasture reeking wet with rain,
heavy dew or -coated with frost. Much
of the danger may also be avoided
by mixing grass with alfalfa in seed
ing down the pastures. The cows
prefer grass to legumes such as al
falfa or sweet clover and will take
off thieii- appetites before feeding
on these.

sued an instructive leaflet entitled
“Probable Causes, and the Remedies
for Defects in Second Grade Cream.*'
The introductory note states that
“regulations under the Dairy Pro

one-cent per pound of butter fat be
paid for Special Grade Cream over
First Grade Cream, and a premium
of three cents per pound of butter
fat for First Grade Cream over Sec

out how these losses m'ay be avoided
and enumerates common refects In
Second Grade Cream. Special Grade
Cream, it says, can be secured by
