Office Association The Apple Market According to fruit crop reports received from various parts of the province, there is little evidence of late scab development and apple maggot infestation is reported to be exceptionally light. High winds early in October blew down a large quan­ tity of apples in Central and East­ ern Ontario orchards, as well as many in the Georgian Bay and Nor­ folk districts. ‘The windfalls will be sold on local markets nr. readily absorbed by processing plants, so that very little actual loss of apples will result.

As an illustration of the changes that have occurred in this district during the past 100 years, a recent­ ly prepared sketch of the Bell fam­ ily will prove interesting. Robert Bell, .wife and family, came from .Scotland in October 1835, to Montreal, in a sail boat, the voyage across the ocean taking fourteen weeks. They came on to Egmondville where they lived five months and ■then moved on to the London Road and took up 200 hundred acres Of land, 100 acres for each of their sons, William Bell and Robert Bell, ■when all that section of Huron County was bush. They built their log houses on the hill where they all lived for a number of years. Cutting down the trees on the front of their farm, they made brick houses which were erected are occupied, a period of years. The whole family lived brick houses for a number Robert Bell, the father, then began taking contracts from the Govern­ ment to build bridges, completing one at Clinton, a smaller dne south on the London Road, and a large one at St. Marys. All chining and other by the Bells, they their hands at all that line. His two eldest sons operated the first saw mill at the second conces­ sion in the Township of Hay for a number of years. They built a to obtain the necessary power after that part of the township surveyed, they had to taikie the down and move it with the machin­ ery further down stream where the saw mill was operated by David Wanless for a number of years'. A brother, Paul Bell, took over the farm and mill. Robert Bell the father, taking over the 200 acres near Kiplpen and operated same for a long time. He flour for the new produced into the country.

Milk Cooling During the Winter Months For Thirst "Some men thirst after fame some after love and some after money. "I know something they all thirst after.” "What's that?” "■Salted almonds.” Do not attempt to cool milk by setting the cans out-of-doors, even in freezing weather.

Then, too, it is a communicable z-fiigease, especially dangerous to young ,<,/ children.* This was fully realized by the founders of the National Sanitarium Association,when forty years ago they erected thefirst hospital in Canada for the treat­ment of this disease.This venture met with much opposi­tion and even ridicule, for at that time it was firmly believed that tuberculosis was incurable. It was just one of those things which, had to be, so why bother about it.However, it was not long before the regimen of this small hospital began io show results—people were actually being cured—going home and talking about it. Such was the small beginning of the Muskoka, the Toronto and the Queen Mary Hospitals for Consumptives, which now provide for more than one thousand patients.The progress made and the change in outlook is reflected by these and the many other fine sanatoria throughout the Dominion, and by the large number of public and private organizations which to-day are sparing no effort to overcome tuberculosis.The results have been that thousands upon thousands have been given a chance to get well, who but for hospital treat­ment, would have been left without hope, and the mortality from this disease has been reduced by 75%. With tuberculosis ousted from the premier position to seventh place as the cause of death, there is cause for con­gratulation, but there is also the danger of the feeling of self complacency and the slackening of effort. With the goal in sight, this would indeed be a calamity, for tuberculosis will not halt its advance unless it is forced to do so. This can only - be accomplished with the continued co-operation of the public at larao..

The Book which has been prepared for use in the operations connected with the cost study of milk in Ontario was initiated through the activities of the four milk commodity associa­ tions in Ontario, namely, the Ontar­ io Concentrated Milk Producers’ As­ sociation, the Ontario Cream Pat­ rons’ Association, the .Ontario Cheese Patrons’ Association and the Ontar­ io Whole Milk Producers’ Associa­ tion. The purpose of this milk study, as outlined by the Ontario Milk Pro­ ducers Cost of Milk Production Com­ mittee, may be grouped under three heads:— 1. To determine milk production costs in all sections of Ontario and for all markets, in order that the various milk producer groups may deal more effectively with their mar­ keting problems. 2. To assemble unbiased datta re­ lative to the milk producing indus­ try and the economic conditions of those engaged in milk production, in order that the requirements of these constituents may be dealt with more intelligently. .... 3. To focus greater attention on the detail of dairy •farm organization management, expenses, and revenue, and through the study to reveal means whereby dairy farmers may increase the net returns from their business.

J. Johnson, Dominion fruit in­ spector reported* recently. "Although Wellington, Oxford and other counties have turnips in large quantities for the ipast 40 years it was only recently in the Huron Tract in that neighb'or- that local farmers awoke to the pos- ‘ sibilities of this crop,” he said. Preparing Perennial Borders for Winter A very good thing to remembeT when mulching plants for winter is that the ideal protection keeps the plants colds which means that the mulch should be applied when the ground is frozen hard for the first time that season. Corn fodder or strawy manure, be- sires being easily obtainable, are to he preferred to leaves as the latter form an almost air-tight mat very often results in trouble causing premature growth of plants. and by the THE HERALD SAYS dam but was dam The Bells were also made their settlers that came the first settlers hood.

More and more es that boys can and tend calves and by so doing, learn the essential principles of cat­ tle raising. .The calf that gets a good start in life has the best chance of becoming a profitable animal at ma­ turity, be .it male or female. And the care of the cow or steer is not es­ sentially different from that of the calf, as regards eating and drinking and sanitation—after weaning age. It is poor economy to feed and care for calves in any manner other than that which will allow them to grow and develop normally. A well cared-for heifer has a much better opportunity to develop into a high- producing cow than one which is poorly, fed and cared for. In view of the sho,rt feed supply, and in many cases a scarcity of milk dairymen raising calves this winter need to do a careful job of selecting only the best calves to raise, feed them adequately, and guard against disease. The importance .of culling cannot be over emphasized. As a rule, about one-fourth of the calves born are required to maintain the herd. Too many dairymen attempt to raise every calf. Obviously, many cows are inferior and should not be allow­ ed to propagate their kind, as they will do if bred to bulls no better than themselves. It costs just about as much to raise an inferior calf as a good one, so one of the first steps in calf raising is to cull out the cal­ ves that are inferior from a breed­ ing standpoint. of un- one un- □ Maclean’s (24 Issues) 1 yr. □ National Home Monthly 1 yr. □ Canadian Magazine - 1 yr. □ Chatelaine...........1 yr. □ Pictorial Review - - - 1 yr. □ Silver Screen • • - - 1 yr. □ American Boy - - - 1 yr. □ Parents’ Magazine - -6 mo. □ Can.

A pen that is well bedded, dry and free from draughts is essential. Place ■the feed trough safe distance away so that she is forced to exercise out­ doors daily. Eradicate lice and round worms; there is no market for them. Feed a mixture of grains to maintain the sow in fair flesh, but ■use barley sparingly unless the sow is very thin.

Storing Soybeans By this time no doubt, all soy­ beans have (been threshed and some attention should be paid to the stor­ age of this seed. If the beans have been threshed in good .'condition, that is with a reasonably low con­ tent of moisture, storage will not be difficult. On the other hand, a high moisture content adds to the danger of spoilage when stored. It has been recommended that storage in bags, which may be moved oc­ casionally, will largely prevent the fair CHROMIUM Chromium is a metallic element which has come into common use in very recent years. It is closely re­ lated to iron and manganese. Its only commercial source is the miner­ al chromite. Chromium is a very important constituent of (the so-called stainless steel alloys and the familiar heating element "nichrome” is an alloy con­ taining approximately 20 per cent, chromium. There is also a demand .for chromium bronzes and chromium aluminum, both of which are char­ acterized by high tensile strength. Another important use of chromium of recent origin is in the plating industry. It gives a plating that is white and hard, has excellent resist­ ance to corrosion and abrasion. It has a fine appearance and wearing qualities. Chromite is utilized in the manu­ facture of emerald green glass and chrome oxide is extensively employ­ ed in the ceramic industry for black, green and brown glazes. Bichromate of soda is used in the tanning of light leathers and, as an oxidizing agent, is utilized in the manufacture of des and other synthetic chemicals \A!bout half a million tons of chromite is produced in a year, the chief sources being Rhbdesia, Tur­ key, Russia, India, Yugoslavia and New Caledonia. Thirty tons of chromite were produced in Canada in 1933 and the following year the output has trebled. It came entire­ ly from the Eastern Townships of . Quebec and from the Obonga Lake area of the Thunder Bay District in Ontario.
