The Saga of Clean Milk Layers Need a Real Home "While there are many factor® that enter into the management of the poultry flodk, there is nothing that will have greater influence on the poultry raiser’s success or failure than the way in widen he houses his flock. Birds of good breeding, no matter how well fed, will not return maximum profits unless well housed. The poultry house is the hen’s home and to be comfortable end give good production, the house should have proper venlilatio-h, ^insulation and sanitation; it should have a proper locaton, plenty of light, be dry and have ample floor space. Barley Growers Honoured When members of Parliament and other prominent citizens turn out to houour successful farmers, Agricul ture is approaching the position of prestige, -which it deserves. This oc curred recently when a banquet was tendered to the Master Barley Grow ers of Simcoe County. The winners in Combined Crop Competitions were announced, the prizes for which had been supplied by the Ontario and Quebec Brewing Industry. Interest was most keen in the award of a handsome shield to the Champion Barley Grower of the County. This trophy provided' by E. C. Graham, Grain Dealer, Allis- ton, was won by. J. E< Ruthven, Al- liston. The promotion of good seed by Agriculurtal Societies in the area- has done much to bring Simfeoe to the fore in the production of Regis tered seed and top quality Malting Barley. Rair-O Your Own Living Whether willing or not the major ity of farmers are now obliged to supply more of their own needs. The following list may provide sugges tions for further economy; 1. Milk a few good cows; feed re commended rations. 2. Fatten one pig for every two adult members of the family; cure the meat properly. 10. Keep at least 100 good hens, correctly housed and fed. 4. Raise a good garden; water from windmill if possible. 5. Plant only cash crop®, which show little or no surplus. 0. Grow your own stock feed. 7. Butcher fat cows and steers; trade meat with neighbors. 8. Raise your own living; keep your roof tight. 9, Get down to earth and do the best you can today. 10. Drive a horse until you can af ford t-j buy gasoline . From Mf-iny Climes A review of the student® who have attended O. A. C. during the last half century is contained, in the an nual report from the College. It show® that young men and women from every province in Canada have been enrolled as well as representa tives from no Jess than fourty-three countries in Europe, Asia, South America and elsewhere. Empire wide and world-wide recognition is being given O. A. C. graduates. Each year brings evidence of worthy con tributions to world service made by graduates. "With improved facilities for instruction, research and exten sion, even greater service should be possible. Honey Grades ’The consuming public is showing a special interest in tli§ attractive appearance and convenient identifi cation of quality which is made pos sible by the new honey grades, which came into effect this year: Where honey is sold by grade the grading must conform to the Cana dian standard®. The Canadian stan dards for honey provide a natural classification by color into the four classes: White, Golden, Amber and Dark. These classes are in turn graded strictly on the quality basis as Fancy, Choice or Manufacturers. The honev grades are especially pop ular because of the consistency of the application of gr’ade terminology to the product when graded, the in herent quality of the honey literal- A very high standard of cleaning liness in milk is demanded in Can ada. Clean milk may be defined as milk that is free from dirt and for eign matter, containing compara tively few bacteria and certainly none of a disease-producing nature. The first essential is to have .he’althy cows. The cows must be free from tuberculosis, anthrax, and other con tagious dieeases which affect the milk indirectly. In addition, the ud ders of the cows must be free from diseases as mastitis and cow pox which directly infect the milk with bacteria. Next to healthy cattle come the twin factor® of clean cattle and clean barns, and anyone with the slightest imagination must re cognize that, during the seven months a year in which dairy cattle 'have to be stabled, cleanliness i® a big problem. Gows must be brushed and clipped regularly, and they must have their udders and teat® washed before each milking. Milking by hand entails perfect cleanliness on the part of the milker, and milking by machine, which is a science, in volve® some knowledge of the physics of electric motors, internal combus tion engines and vaccum pumps. Fur ther, clean milk requires clean uten sils, as poorly washed implements form one of the most potent sources of bacteria in milk, and clean milk must be rapidly cooled if the num- mei* Oif bacteria is to be kept down. Finally, the milk must be deliver ed promptly to the distributor, which mean® the farmer turning out anywhere from four a.m. to 6 a.m. to milk the cows, cool the milk, and deliver it in time for householders in the city to find the ’bottled milk on the doorstep early, in .the morning. Annual Oop Review The agricultural situation in On tario during 1934 has been featured by a slight decrease in the volume of production due chiefly to sm'all hay, -sugar beet and fall wheat yields. Higher .prices, particularly for grain aird fodder more than offset the ef fect of the early drought and' the value of field crop production shows a. gain of $18,460,00'0 or 14.8 per cent, over last year. The acreage sown to the principal field crops declined from 9,184,900 acres to 8.966,900, acres, a reduction of 218,000 acres or 2.>5 per* cent. The volume of output showed a diminu tion of 10 per cent, from 1933. Crop® showing an increase in production were: Spring whe'at, oats, barley, flaxseed, mixed grains, buckwheat, fodder corn, corn for husking, po tatoes, turnips, mangold® and car rots. Crop® showing a decrease were Fall wheat, fall rye, peas, dry beans, sugar beets, hay* and clover, alfalfa, alsike and sweet clover. Hay crops, fall wheat and fall rye suffered heav ily from winter killing and unfav ourable weather conditions previous to maturity. Spring grains proved to be less affected by drought than an- Cicip'ated and yields per acre and to tal yields exceed 1933. The total hay crop amounted to only 4,3 46,300 tons, compared with 6,182,900 tons in 1933. The late late summer and fall provided ideal growing conditions and yield® per acre of late crop were extremely good. The prospects of insufficient hay supplies were lessened by heavy crops <xf corn and roots ‘and a sur prising improvement in condition of pastures, permitting beef cattle to graze from five to seven weeks later than last year and thus" conserving hay supplies. Dairymen in some counties however, will be obliged to purchase a greater supply of conicen- trates. In most cases prices of se condary products are not high enough to warrant the purchase of hay at present levels and farmers are feeding increased quantities of stiJaw stocked corn, roughages and molass es.

GODERICH WOOD LOT FOUND TO BE SUCCESS GODERICH — So successful was this town’s experience with a muni cipal wood lot last winter that it is to be repeated. Five acres of hard wood bush, with an option on a fur ther. five acres adjoining, has been purchased. The bush is located on the Auburn highway, Sth concession, Colborne Township, eight miles from town. Last winter Goderich workmen ent and hauled over $2,5'00 worth of fire wood. Every stick of it was sold by spring. In the operation over $2,- 00'0' of the $>2,15'00 was paid out in wages, a striking example of how to 'get a maximum of wages and' a minimum of money spent on mater ials in a (public project. Most of the men engaged in the work would otherwise have been on relief. Instead the men worked and were paid and the public paid (for the wood, of first class quality, and everybody was well satisfied. The project whs a complete suc cess and' that is why it is being re peated. Preliminary work to active operations is now being done. The Times-Advocate are giving away $25.00 in prices to subscribers who pay for the paper before the 16 th of February. First prize $5.10,0; Five $2.00 prizes and ten $1.00 prizes.

He did not go into details, but it is learned, he proposes to bring down legislation at the approaching ses sion of Parliament to prevent a re currence of the evils disclosed by the Commission on Price Spreads, which has been investigating ‘big business’ in Canada. With a million Canadians during the worst period of the depression depending on government doles, the Prime Minister plans *‘,a new deal” for industrial worker® and wage earners.
