Hess, Cleric Hensail Cattle Like Pea Straw Thomas Campbell Slices off Steam­ ing1 Fodder for his Stock HENiSALL — Few newspapermen expect to see cattle chewing tobacco. It is not done in good bovine circles. Yet when a reporter drove up to Thomas Campbell on Archibald Row- idiffe’s farm, just south of Hensail, there was Mr, Campbell pitching ■what looked and even smelled, for all the world like chewing tobacco onto a wagon. 1-Ie said he was go­ ing to feed the cattle with it. The reporter made some mental notes to proceed cautiously and in­ quired what the stuff might be. “Pea straw,” said Mr. Campbell. And suie enough it was. Beside the pile was the threshing machine. About 70 acres of peas had been threshed there earlier in the year and the straw piled up in a circu­ lar formation resembling an Afri­ can cottage hut, or whatever it is the natives live in. ■Still closer inspection of the heap Livestock Meetings Dates for annual meetings in Tor­ onto of Canadian and Ontario live­ stock associations have been an­ nounced by L. E- O’Neil, of the live­ stock branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture. Ontario (Swine Breeders’ Associa­ tion will hold their annual meeting February 1 and the Canadian Swine Breeders’ Association the following day>. Ontario Large Yorkshire Club, Ontario Berkshire Club, Ontario Tamworth Club and dual purpose Shorthorn clubs will also hold meet­ ings February 1st. February 2, the following annual meetings will be held; Canadian Jer­ sey Cattle Club, Canadian, Shorthorn Association, Canadian Hackney Horse Association, Canadian Pony Association and the Canadian Aber­ deen-Angus Breeders’ Association. Meetings scheduled tor February 3, are: Holstein-Friesian Associa­ tion of Canada, Canadian National Poultry Record Association, Cana­ dian Standard Bred Horse Society, Ontario-.

Today, farming is more of a busi­ ness proposition than ever before, and the farmer who does not know the exact state of how he stands With. reference to every item con­ nected with the farm is at a disad­ vantage with the farmer who dies. Somewhat more than a rough and ready method is necessary. A record of each department of the farm business should be kept be­ cause it is the only way of finding out which part of the'‘farming pays and which does not. To assist the farmer in this very important mat­ ter, the Dominion Department of Agriculture issues a very simple and useful little account book which may be obtained from the King’s Printer at a nominal price pf 10c. No spec­ ial knowledge,of accounting is nec­ essary .and a record of transactions can often be made in less than one hour per week. Timothy is moving more freely than at any time during this crop year. Alsike continues to move but the best quality of seed is already gone. Sweet clover has received very little attention to date but seed is now moving to the seed cleaning plants to he cleaned. Western and Southern! Ontario Prices: Red clover 21c per pound for No. 1 grades 15 U to 17c for -country run. Alfalfa 17c for No. 1 grade, 11 to 14c for country run. Alsike 16c for No. 1 grade, 8% to 135 for country run-. Sweet clover 75 for No. 1 grade, 4 to 6c for c-oun- tiy run, Timothy1 6c for No. 1 grade, 3 to 5c for country run, and Cana­ dian blue grass 8c for No. 1 grade.

It is estimated that there are some 450,000 lbs. of alfalfa seed mare than reported previously. Demand: The buying by our- mer­ chants for their spring requirements anid for their export trading is re­ sulting in a good demand for the three clovers and alfalfas at good prices. Very little interest is being shown in regard to' timothy. Red clover and alsike are in brisk de­ mand while alfalfa has softened somewhat in comparison! with last month.

Demand: A very keen demand has developed for red clover. Shipments are going forward to the United States and in some instances farmer buyers are bringing trucks and ears over to do business direct with Cana­ dian farmers. It is -expected that the entire available supply of red clover will soon be out of farmers’ hands. Very little information available in regard to the demand for alfalfa. MT.

Mr. Campbell explained that in ac­ cordance with an agreement be­ tween a canning company and farmers the farmers obtained all straw resulting from the pea-shell­ ing operation. Cows Like it ‘‘There is a real big pile of it down towards Exeter,” said Mr. 'Campbell. He claimed that the cat­ tle were quite fond of their strange- colored fodder. It was heating and steamed generously into a cold northwest wind. The pea straw iwas about like cheese in consistency and Mr. Campbell was . putting it with a broadaxe, which in a previous gen­ eration was probably used for shap­ ing out pieces of timber. It scarce­ ly looked like straw at all, although it did break up a bit when pitched by fork on to the wagon. Mr. Campbell explained that as he dug deeper into the pile a gen­ erally greener color would prevail, but that it would maintain its paste-like qualities. Whether it was .better for cattle than ordinary rations he was not prepared to say. His broadaxe sheared off slices around the pile’s circumference, making it look more than ever like some tropical habitation. To one side was the pea-thresh­ ing machine, a big, ungainly thing, ado'rned /with pulleys and an ele­ vator which raises the straw for the stack builders. Altogether, the exhibit was strange, one that would attract attention1 of passing motor­ ists; it is doubtful if many would guess what it (was. Winter Brooding of Chicks The poultryman with proper equip­ ment can handle chicks in mid-win­ ter with as little mortality as with April chick's. He may not get as high percentage hatch as later on, but even the hatchability of eggs is be­ ing controlled by the feed. January chicks will cost more as eggs are higher priced to start with. Then it will take more fuel than with spiring brooding. But there is more time for looking after the chicks; there may be less disease and mortality; broilers will catch a high market, and pullets should be laying early in the fall or even in late summer when egg prices are at their peak. Of course, if many started hatching all theiir chicks in January the high­ er prices for broilers and eggs should ( be wiped out, and ciheks 'hatched at some other season would find the •best market. Brioodeir houses un­ suited for prolonged zero weather and the higher price foir chicks will limit the number going in for Janu­ ary chicks. Nevertheless there should be good returns for the few who do, and they can prolong the use of their equipment, as those who have January chicks usually have another batch in the spring so as to have pullets coming into production at different seasons. January chicks will go on to range early in the season, or they may be raised in­ doors until ready for the laying pen.
