It the tem­ perature is low and constant, ex­ tracted honey can be stored inde­ finitely without change of colour or flavour and without fermentation. Exercising the Breeding Ewes A heavy financial loss is sustain­ ed by the owner of a woodlot if it is clean trees are in the small What size should a cut, in order that the cial returns may be realized. Clear­ ly, it must varyi with the market conditions and the species, but there are several relationships between trees of large and small diameters that should be understood and given careful consideration. All species of tree should not be cut indiscriminately for fuelwood as some, such as white ash, walnut, oak pine and spruce, on account of qual­ ities of the- wood have a very high value for special purposes and much higher financial returns over a period of years will be realized if they are left to grow to timber size. All trees have to go through theThe matter of exercising the ewe ' seedling, sapling and polewood ' stages, and during this time the an­ nual wood growth is -only a. fraction, when compared to the annual growth when it is in the larger diameter classes. The general rule is that tihe annual growth of wood on a tree in­ creases as the tree increases in size. A sugar maple tree 2 inches in diameter and 30 feet in height likely 25-30 years old. There a very small quantity -of wood in tree at tihis stage, and if it is now, 25-3 0 years will elapse before a tree 2 inches in'diameter will grow to take its place.

If strong lambs are to be had, pregnant ewes should have ac­ cess to a. run at all times. If neces­ sary, spread hay on tihe snow so as to force them to move. This will help to kieep them in good health. Avoid crowded quarters. Not are they unsanitary, but they the cause of many abortions. only are eggs found Retain Early Layers In studying the income from in 121 farm f l.ocks, it was that the pullets which laid from 25 to 30 per cent, of their total produc­ tion during 'the pullet year in Octo­ ber, November and December, brought a much larger egg income than the birds in flocks that laid only 10 per cent, during the three months mentioned. Tihis was partly due to the fact that the eggs from the early laying flocks brought an average of five cents a dozen more thon those from the flocks that be­ gan laying later in tihe season. The cost of the feed for the early laying flocks was only 1% cents .more per dozen eggs produced than for the later laying, birds, thus net­ ting 3 1-2 cents more per dozen. Aside from this, the early laying flocks produced 49 more eggs per bird per year* than the later laying flocks'. Higih egg production, with the largest passible number of eggs produced during that portion of the season when they bring the best prices are very important factors in the annual income that is received from the flock. Raising Geese The essentials to success in goose raising are free range and an abun- ! dance of tender grass or clover. The geese should start to lay about the middle of March, and the eggs should be set as soon as possible. It is advisable to sprinkle the eggs with luke warm water daily when wet under the mother goose or under hens, and twice daily when set in an incubator. Goslings require warmth • after hatching and should be left under the goose or in the incubator for about two days. When the goslings are ready for feeding, place a green sod near the brooder in order that they may pull the tender shoots.

It may be a mother, a chef, a wife or a best girl. In my ease it is—-of all things—a teacher of home economics. This woman is absolute proof that a dietitian can cooki not only the fancy recipes so often attributed to the members of the profession, but the good every­ day foods as well, bies is tihe vegetable plate oi‘ platter and hei' advice is to vary the meth­ ods of cooking as well as the vege­ tables. Serve something boiled, and something baked, something- fried and something creamed. This in­ sures variety of color, texture and flavour and will suit every taste. The vegetable combinations are. endless and range from the ones which are simple and easy to those which require time and patience to prepare. Vegetables are cooked se­ parately and arranged on a plattei' or plank. Often eggs or cheese are used to balance this type of meal and sometimes green peppers, on­ ions or tomatoes are stuffed with a highly seasoned mixture and top­ ped with grated cheese. The plates may be served from tjie kitchen .rather than the dining room. Here are some suggestions for both luncheon and dinner combina­ tions, the latter being heavier and sometimes including a small amount of meat. In the center of a plate put a small mould of savory rice and around the base arrange sliced, cooked, butter­ ed carrots. 'Complete the plate with grilled slices of tomatoes, raw celery hearts and steamed spinach with le­ mon to give a pleasing color ar­ rangement and contrast in flavors ad texture. Savory rice is made by- lightly cooked rice in onion and fat and adding chopped green peppers and pimento. Press into a custard cup, turn out' and serve with cheese sauce. Prepare tho carrots by slicing and scraping, then boiling in as little water as possible. Dress them with butter, salt and pepper. The tomato slices may be seasoned, and broiled or dipped in fine corn flake crumbs and baked in a well oiled pan, set in a hot oven. This .combination is heavy enough for dinner if served with hot bread of some kind. Bran muffins are good and it -is easy to stir them up and bake them, espec­ ially. if you are using the oven for the tomatoes. A plate suitable for luncheon may be a baked half of an acorn1 squash^- French fried potatoes, -cabbage. beet salad and buttered onions,. Ba/ con corn bread is good with this combination. There are numerous plates dom­ inated by curry powder. Curried eggs, a peeled banana, steamed rice and a relish made from ground ap­ ples, onion and green pepper form an unusual menu for the person a little daring in food experiments. . BRAN MUFFINS I BACON COMPETITION Perth 'County fanners know a thing or two about the art of raising pigs, according to the results of the bacon litter competition, series A., For this competition the province was divided into districts and Perth County was in District No. 3, along with Huron, Oxford and Waterloo. In all there were 25 litters entered in the competition from these four counties and of those Perth County had 10. It is more interesting to note that of the fourteen prizes awarded for the district Perth Coun­ ty captured five. Percy L. Switzer of St. Marys took first prize. The winning litter was composed of 12 pigs weighing 2,252 pounds at 177 days. The twelve pigs brought ten “A’s” which is particu­ larly good standing. Jacob Kalb- fleisch of Stratford won fourth place George Lannin and Sons Dublin, 7th place; Percy Switzer 8th prize and Peter G. Morrison of St. Marys the tenth prize. This was the first com­ petition where the new schedule- of dressed grades was applied and where the litters were sold on basis of dressed weight and grade. The Department has announced that the plan, was most satisfactory The two litters tied as the youngest in .the competition were owned by Peter G. Morrison of St. Marys and Gordon S. James of Troy.

B. Farr, of HensalL who selected a hobby as his subject and spoke on “Fishing.” The speak­ er dealt with his subject in a very informal way and stated there were three reasons why men went fishing, viz: for pleasure; for business; for fish. It was the fishing for pleas­ ure that^ occupied the attention of Mr. Farr. He suggested among other things that some people went fishing in order that 'they might think, that they might be alone with their thoughts and hazarded the opinion that it might have been for this reason that tho disciples at the suggestion of Peter might have gone fishing following, the crucifixion of Jesus. Mr. Farr also suggested Fiat there was required in fishing a great deal of that virtue called patience and this virtue vfas no ess necessary and useful in the work of the pastorate, Following the paper there was considerable exchange of opinion and many words of appre­ ciation were offered to Mr. Farr for his splendid talk. At the conclus­ ion of the meeting the. National An­ them was sung and the chairman pronounced the benediction. The members then adjourned to the dining, room where a delightful lunch was served by Mrs. Chand- led and the appreciation of the As­ sociation was ably expressed to Mr. and Mrs. Chandler for their hospit­ ality and to Mr. Farr for his talk; by Rev. W. A. Young and Rev. A. E. Elliott. ORDER NOW! Sales Books are the best Counter Check Books made in Canada. They cost no more than ordinary books and always give satisfaction.
