Frozen Vegetables
Asparagus, beans, corn, peas and
spinach, were the principal products
in the frozen vegetable pack in
Canada in 1937. Like the Cana
dian fruit pack, they are finding a
ready market in the hotel and res
taurant trade, but, as they require
a temperature of about zero, they
cannnt .be offered to the general
public until proper storage facilities
are available in the retail trade.«
Canadian Seed Growers’ Association
will be held in the Ontario Agricul
tural College, Guelph, Ont, The
dates set for the meetings are June
15th, 16th and 17th, 1938, and the
plans are under way for a busy
three days. It is expected that
workers in the promotion of improv
ed seed production from coast to
coast will be in attendance. Officers
coming from the west will include
the President, Mr. F. W. Townley-
Smith, Lashburn, Sask., and the
Vice-president, Mr. F. L. Dickinson,
from Winnipeg, Man. The Secre
tary-Treasurer of the Association
is Mr. W. T. G. Weiner, Ottawa.

Stailers and Cheese
One of the most important fac
tors in determining the quality of
the cheese is the starter which is
used to hasten and control the acid
fermentation of the milk, and it is,
therefore, highly important that
uniform starters of high quality be
used. A starter correctly made and
handled cannot harm the product
in any way; rather it should im
prove it, whatever the quality of
the milk may be. The question of
starters is wholly under the control
of the maker, and he has only him
self to blame if the quality of his
product is injured by the use of a
poor starter.
Alfalfa Hay C^op Moves
Movement of the 1937 bumper
crop of alfalfa hay from Haldimand
County is now in full swing. It is
estimated that last year's crop of
3,000 tons will ibe exceeded. •
A large portion of the crop is
moving to the large dairy herds in
the Eastern .States.
Horses in Demand
In nine breeding station districts
in Canada, saddle and -hunter
horses for police, remount, and
light delivery .purposes, are being
produced in considerable numbers.
This type of horse is in keen de
mand in Canada and in the United
States, and there is little likelihood
of any decline in popularity. Horse
breeding clubs among Canadian
farmers increased from 125 in 1933
to 254 in. 1937, while the number
of purebred stallions qualifying for
approval in 1937 showed an increase
of 21 per cent, ever 1936.

Considerable alfalfa is being
ground into meal for export and do
mestic consumption,'. Up to eight
meal mills have been grinding in
the Caledonia district at one time.

made to Nova Scotia for a Depart

feeding young deer for the first
time. Although the plant is one of
the oldest under cultivation, it is
only in recent years that it has been
grown here generally, and it seems
to thrive on the heavy clay land.

Horses are also selling well there.
Livestock in Eastern Ontario is in
fairly good condition considering
the scarcity of home-grown feeds
and the high price of commercial
feeding stuffs.
Records Reveal Cost of Raising
Pullets
Jn order to ascertain the cost of
raising pullets to maturity, that is
the age at which they lay their
first eggs, a record of all feed, coal
and litter used was kept during the
1937 season at the experimental
station, Summerland, B. C.
•Starting with 680 White Wyan
dotte chicks hatched on three dif
ferent dates, April 6, 14, and 29,
respectively, and brooded under
.coal brooders, 391 were sold as
broilers and roosters, and a few as
ready-to-lay pullets. These latter
have been included for purposes of
experiment at their actual weights
and the prevailing live price per
pound. Mortality, caused mostly
•by hawks and coyotes, accounted
for 48 birds. The balance of 241
represents the number of .pullets
coming into laying from September
2 upwards. No eggs laid by these
•birds have been credited, as such
inclusion would only .create a ficti
tious profit or unfairly reduce the
cost of rearing.
The number of chicks brooded
might easily have been cared for
by two -brooders instea'd of three if
hatching dates allowed this, there
by reducing the amount and cost of
coal used.
As anyone knows who kept poul
try in 1937, feed prices were high.
Wheat for this experiment cost $50
per ton, home-mixed developer
mash of which large quantities were
consumed cost $40 per ton.
In order that the figures may
be of some benefit to those poultry
keepers who raise their pullets
from day-old chicks, the cost of the
original 680 chicks has been reck
oned at $14.00 .per hundred, the
approximate price of heavy breeds
in the Okanagan Valley. In calcu
lating the cost of raising the birds,
no charge has been made for labour

Neuritis, like rheumatism and
sciatica, frequently has its roots in
intestinal stasis (delay) — the un
suspected accummulation in the
system of harmful waste matter,
which leads to the information of
excess uric acid.
Two of the ingredients of Krus-
chen Salts have the power of dis
solving ;u‘ric vacid crystals. Other
ingredients of Kruschen assist Na

stals through the natural channels.

Historic documents, ancient news
papers, copies of .proclamations and
minute books dating back prior to
the year 1840 are being sorted and
placed in orderly files in the attic
of the Court House, Huron County
by H. Orlo Miller, secretary of the
Middlesex-ILondon Historical Society
and will be placed in the archives
of the University of Western On

His action was authorized at a
session o-f Huron county council last
year, and at the meeting last Janu
ary a motion was endorsed to burn
all documents discarded by the his
torian.
Mr. Miller’s task is a gigantic one
and more than a ton' of historical
records have been taken away.
In delving through the piles of
•books and papers one came across
proclamations in the reign of Queen
Victoria, “issued in the name of
James, Earl of Elgin and Kincard
ine, and Governor-General of Bri
tish North America” and under the
signature of Daniel Iizara, clerk of
the peace," whose daughters were
the joint authors of “In the Days
of the Canada Company.”
Minutes Found
Minutes of the quarterly court
sessions before the days of the Co.
■council are amongst the papers of
valued historic significance. Early
minutes of the amalgamated court
of Huron, Perth and Bruce, and of

reading. Then there are the old
