Prices prevailing this year during the holiday season were: Wheat $1.00-$1.25; peas, $2.-$2.25 oats 55-GOc.; butter 34-36c.; eggs 25-35c.; potatoes 50*-60c.; hay $8- §11 ton; turkeys 20-25C.; geese 17c. chicken 18-2 5c. straw $7 per ton. Southwestern Ontario demand: Hay Is id fair demand and there is spine ^prospect for ex porting cut alfalfa hay to the Unit ed States. SUPIPLY; About 85 per cent, qf the crop is Still in the farmers' hands Timothy No. 1, timothy mixtures and alfalfa are much above require- ; ments in most districts. ■PRICES: Timothy No. 2 $8 per ’ton; timothy No. 3, $7; mixed hay I $18, alfalfa first cut $7, alfalfa sec- ond cut $10 to $11, wheat straw $5 per ton. THE HAY MARKET Eastern, Northern and Central Ontario DEMAND: Movement is still quiet in Eastern and Central Ontario and active in Northern Ontario. SUPPLY: Large quantities are available in Eastern and Central On tario, but in Northern Ontario, sup ply is small. PRICES: Belleville, at barn, No. 2 timothy $6 to ,$8.00 per ton; No. 2 timothy and clover mixed $6 to $8 straw $4 to $5. Brockville, at car or warehouse, No. 2, timothy $6 to $8; straw $4. Lower Ottawa Vajley at car No. 2 timothy, $5.50 to $7. Northern Ontario and Northwestern Quebec at car, light clover mixed $15 to $17; grass h.ay $15. dairy or clover hay $15 to $16, alfalfa $17 Repoi-ts from Counties Poultrymen in Brant County re port good production from their flocks but feed costs out of line with prices received for their pro ducts. A few owners complain ot feeding troubles with homegrown grains, owing to the fact that much of the grain was badly weathered at i harvesting. Large quantities of al falfa hay are being shipped from Haldimand, both baled and ground. Prices being paid to farmers for hay in the barn run from $8.00 to $8.50. Several loads of Western lambs are on feed dn Middlesex and are being marketed as they reach proper weight and finish at around $7.25 cwt. Prince Edward County, reports buyers for new milkers and spring ers have been active recently. Two carloads have been shipped by U.S. buyers in the past few weeks, in fact the supply hardly equals the demand Down in Leeds County nearly all poultry pools have improved their grading and pack of dressed poultry by having all poultry graded and packed at the cold storage facilities in Brockville. This central organiza tion has graded and packed over 55 tons during December. Life A Burden Work A Drudgery Tired All The Time? No Rest Day Or Night? Is The Medicine You Require ToHelpBuiid UpYourStrength Ontario Seed Grain After a careful survey of the seed situation for the spring of 193 8, the Department finds that there are sufficient oats and barley in the province to look after the seed re quirements. This is dependent on every farmer taking' immediate steps to have the best of his grain cleaned and set aside for his seed. Many appear to think that because their grain this year is off color and a little under standard in weight that it will not make suitable seed, but tests already made show that when this off-color and underweight grain has been thoroughly cleaned up to a 50 per cent, cut in some instances good seed was secured which germin ated as high as 90 per cent. If this work is done now the cleaned out grain can be used for feed. By following out some siulch pol icy there will be no great shortage of seed next spring. Many farmers have a fanning mill of some descrip tion, which with a little repair and an extra screen or two, will clean grains. The correct screens, of course, are important, and should any farmer be in doubt, the Depart ment will be glad tO’ furnish this in formation on request. Where farm ers live within driving unci trucking distance of power cleaning plants that have sourers and carter disc machines^ it will pay them to have their cleaning done at one of these plants, What is most important is that the farmers etart now so that the cleaning and germinating can. be done properly, and not leave ft until a spring rush develops, termination tests will indicate the suitability ot seed. Green Feed for Poultry At all times of the year an abun dance of green feed is essential to the health of the poultry flock. In summer It may be provided by free range on the farm, but in winter it must be supplied by some form of stored feed. Roots, cabbage, sprout ed oats, and alfalfa hay are common ly used for winter feeding. Probably alfalfa is the most valuable element in the winter poultry ration, and if the following precaution is taken in feeding it may be used in unlimited quantity. ■Foi’ some years it has been the practice at the Experimental station at Harrow to chop fine the young alfalfa shoots for the baby chicks and to use cut alfalfa hay as the sole means of supplying the necessary roughage and greens for winter egg production. A good grade of second or third cutting hay is run through a cutting-box in about half-in'cli lengths, steeped for twenty-four hours by entirely covering with cold water, strained, and fed in shallow tubs. For the best results it is fed immediately after the early morning grain and again late in the after noon. Old stalks left should be thrown out where the birds cannot reach them or they may be the cause of crop trouble. Fail* results may be had by feed ing good alfalfa leaf dry but the ex perience at this Station is that the steeped cut hay is better appreciated by the birds on account of its easy digestibility and decause it is more palatable. were were CROSS-WORD PUZZLE 1 Z 3 5 b 7 8 9 IO II 12 IS w 15 o lb 17 lb w w: 19 20 21 2.1 Zb 25 Zb 2-7 zb 0 2-9 30 w 31 ■it 33 w 3M 35 Sb 37 39 HO HI m M3 MM W H5 Mb 47 MB H9 w 50 £1 52 53 5M sw 55 5b 1 57 58 59 w w 80 Gl kxw 62 83 G4 W sw 65 6b 1 87 bb Ud 170711 HORIZONTAL 1-To stupefy 5-Dlscover 11-Animate 12~ Em powers 14-Jutlges i 16-Navigated 18- Consumed 19- Snares 21- Comblning form.

H. S. Hockey EXETER H.S. VS. PARKHILL H.S. The Exeter H. S. hockey team played a return game with Parkhill H.S. on Friday night. As the game was a little late in starting it was decided to play two 25 minute per iods instead of the usual three 20 minute periods. It was a hardly contested game throughout with the Exeter team making a better show ing than before when they were de feated. The score was tied three all and illustrates the tightness of the game. In the first period Dinney scored for Exeter banking in the puck after a scramble in front of the net. A1 few minutes later Dinney again scored on a pass from Klumpp, assists going to Klumpp and F. Fahrner. Klumpp added another goal by scoring alone while Exetex* was short handed, Din ney serving the first penalty of the game. Parkhill then scored their first goal when York scored on a pass from H. Brown. The first per iod ended three to one for Exeter. In the second period Parkhill scor ed two goals in quick succession to make the score three all. York scored the first and P. Brown the second. There was no more scoring that period and the game went into overtime. Ten minutes overtime was played without any score and the game was ended. At the close of the game Parkhill students served lunch to the visiting team. The line! up: Exeter—.Goal, F. Baynham; de fence, Heywood and Ryckman; for wards, A. .Fahrner, Dinney and Klumpp. Subs., Moore, Moise, Wuerth, W. Fahrner, Harness, Eng land Buswell and Wilson.

Zelenak Jr’s short but tall story of his wife’s in ertia being the mother of an as tounding invention won him the crown of world champion liar. “My wife,” wrote Mr. Zelenak, who probably will get crowned a sec ond time by the subject of his story, “is so lazy she feeds the chickens popcorn so that when she fries the eggs they turn over by themselves.” Those twenty-two words especial ly struck officials of the Burlington (Wis.) Liars Club as they sorted through 10,000 lies submitted by aspiring Ananiases during the last year.
