From these original records the cash book should be written up as frequently and regularly as pos­ sible by the farmer, his wife, son or daughter. For farms operated by managers, farmers’ cluh>, co-operatives, and those farmers who are anxious to keep exact records, a columnar cash book is recommended. A columnar book may be purchased with the desired numbers of columns, or an ordinary notebook may be ruled as required. The purpose of such a book is to classify receipts and pay­ ments into whatever groupings, are desired. the operator’s knowledge and nbilty to prepare his product in the most economical and attractive form. Special feeding tar a week or two will .greatly improve the, quality and pay for the extra feed and labour involved. As only birds with strong consti­ tutions can stand heavy feeding with limited exercise, very young and ex­ tremely thin birds seldom make pro­ fitable gains in A serviceable by twenty-four eighteen inches from slats nailed one inch apart with a galvanized pan beneath the slat­ ted floor for droppings.

To insure freedom from lice, dust the birds with flour or sulphur and create a good appetite by starving for the first twenty-four hours.

Mix to a batter that will pour slowly from a pail, skim­ milk or buttermilk with two parts of cornmeal and one part finely ground oats. Feed in troughs suspended in front of crate. A good finish should be obtained in ten to twenty-one days. Feed enough to thoroughly satisfy at each meal, but leave noth­ ing over in the troughs to stall the birds.

In the first place of all, Mr. Farmer, you are inter­ ested in Exeter because it is the logical market for the greater part of the produce you have to sell. Exeter people are the consumers of what you have to sell, and you, being the producers of what they must buy, are a person of mighty importance to them. You have a common bond. Butter Export Further assistance t*» Canadian dairymen is the aim of the But­ ter Expert Stabilization Scheme just officially approved. Statistics indicate that the stocks of butter in storage on September 1, 1935, were apporximatelv 8,500,000 pounds in excess of the five-year av­ erage and as the current production is larger than last year, further in­ creases in the surplus will be the re­ sult unless some action is taken. The purpose of the scheme is to faciliate the export of butter to the United Kingdom, where, at the ‘pres­ ent time, it appears a favourable market exists. This action is intend­ ed to relieve the butter market in Canada and, in so doing, strengthen the price of butter fat sold in milk and cream by dairymen throughout the Dominion. The scheme provides for the mar­ keting or the regulation of the mar­ keting of butter for export. Agencies may be designated through which the butter is to be marketed. Where necessary, exports may be compensat­ ed for losses incurred through export transactions. Farm Cash Accounts and Statements Financial financial farm are of recording relating to the An adequate record of Methods statements important, cash transactions is a necessity in the (preparation of the Income and Ex­ penditure statement. For this pur­ pose it is highly desirable to culti­ vate the habit of securing a vouch­ er for each transaction at the time it takes place. These should be fil­ ed in some orderly fashion. State­ ments and account sales rendered by •companies to whom products are sold or shipped, and invoices for pur- chasen are good vouchers. A receipt should be given when money is re­ ceived when money is received and the particulars entered on the stub. When payments are made by check, the stub should be completed. Fail­ ing the foregoing, pencilled memor­ anda are useful and a pad and pen­ cil in tlie barn or the time-honored kitchen calendar have their place in building up an adequate record but Clean Up and Burn Areas Infested with Weeds Much good can be accomplished at this time of year by cleaning up any weeds which did not receive atten­ tion during the growing season. The seeds are retained by many weeds until freeze up when they are distri­ buted by various agencies including wind, water, birds and man, thus in­ festing new areas.' The wind carries some weed seeds long distances, not only with drift­ ing soil but also over frozen ground and snow in winter. An experiment conducted in Saskatchewa proved this fact when it was found that six ounces .of surface soil taken from a pot along a road contained the fol­ lowing seeds: Stick Weed 330, Wild Mustard 267, Hare’s Ear Mustard 99, Stinkweed 3, Black Bindweed 159, Lamb’s Quarters 15 and Pig Weed 9. (Another experiment conducted some years ago showed the presence of many weed seeds in now—thirty two seeds of nine species having been found in two square feet of a snow­ drift. Many weed seeds are saten by the birds during late fall and early win­ ter when other food is not plentiful. According to Jack Miner, an author­ ity on bird life, these seeds will not lose their vitality and may be car­ ried for miles in this way. Seeds of neglected' weeds growing in vacant lots, around buildings, fence lines and ditches will be car­ ried long distances by spring floods. By cleaning up and burning all neg­ lected weeds at this time we improve the appearance of property and will help to control weeds—not only on our own property but also on that of our neighbors. Preparing Poultry For Market To a great extent the ultimate suc­ cess of the poultry enterprise will greatly depend on the manner in which the products are marketed. The discriminating customer will be attracted by the well-fattened and well-dressed chicken or fowl, and will pay a premium in price for ap­ pearance as well as quality. Success in fattening and market­ ing will depend to a great extent on •---------------------------------------------------- .

The impairment of the stomach is of serious consequence to other organs Of the body, for only by properly digested food is the entire system sustained and nourished. We have no hesitancy in recom­ mending B.B.B. as a reliable remedy for diseases and disorders of the digestive system, It helps to stimu­ late the secretion of gastric juice, the main factor in digestion, neu­ tralize acidity, tone up the lining membrane of the stomach, and re­ store the natural, healthy, painless process of digestion.
