It is quite possible, however, that winter losses may off­ set this increase. Furthermore, re­ ports indicate a possible shortage of major nectar securing plants in ‘193(8 due to the winter killing of 1936-37, and a shortage of clover seed. Crate-Fattening' Poultry In crate or pen fattening poultry for market, t'he greatest gains in weight are made on the thinner, un­ der- developed birds that ordinarily grade “C” for fleshing and fat if sold straight off the range. Such birds should make steady gains up to three weeks feeding. If the birds are in good shape and reasonably fat when placed in the crates a short­ er finishing iperiod may be used. The average increase in weight in normal crate feeding should more than pay for the feed. The increase ed returns from improvement in grade is additional profit. Some ground grains, such as corn and wheat, are better than others tout any grains the farmer may have are suitable. Small and unmarketable potatoes, cooked and mashed are economical and add palatatoility to any ration. They also help to pro­ duce white fat. Milk in any form is desirable; w’hey may be used if milk is not available. 'The addi­ tion of mutton tallow or any animal fat to the ration will increase the proportion of fat on the finished car­ cass. Prepare Fann Horses for Work in Spring The mechanically-minded tractor­ farmer no doubt has his tractor thoroughly overhauled in prepara­ tion for the spring work. The farmer Who depends on horse power may well take a leaf out of the same book for while horses attend to their own repairs, nevertheless, a certain amount of “tuning up” is necessary even with horses if economical power is to be obtained. Most idle horses will have been wintered on a good maintenance ra­ tion and rightly so, as horses fatten­ ed during the winter are inclined t.o be soft and in poor condition for summer work. The maintenance ra­ tion of rough feeds should now be gradually replaced by a medium grain ration and latter quality rough­ age, preferably timothy hay, increas­ ing the quantity until a full working ration is toeing fed at the start of the heavy work. If the hair is long and heavy, clip-, ping is desirable and thorough grooming is energy well spent at all times. 'Clean and fit the collars and harness carefully. Daily washing of shoulders after the day’s work with cold -salt water will cleanse and toughen the skin, especially in young horses. Particular attention should be paid to the teeth and feet of the horse. If necessary, have the teeth examined and “floated” to provide proper grinding surfaces. Trim the feet carefully, keeping the wearing surfaces level. For work on the land shoeing is not always necessary, but where needed frequency and correct­ ness of shoeing is important. Lice, worms and bots take their toll of the horse’s energy and should be elim­ inated early in the campaign. Plenty of good feed, timely atten­ tion, and thought, not unmixed with the milk of human kindness, will work wonders in the development of basic power and rippling force in man’s faithful friend, the no'ble horse. Keep the Birds Healthy The care, attention and quality of feed given the chick and growing bird will contribute to the health and production of the mature bird. Due to improper feeding, particul- larly the wrong kind of green feed in the early stages, the birds’ di­ gestive system may not develop so as to stand the strain of heavy pro­ duction. Then, too, a bird may just get by from the health, standpoint and as a mature bird give a poor ac­ count of herself m the laying pen. Vigour and stamina must be bred and fed into the bird if it is to pay its way. The healthier a bird is kept the better use it will make of its feed. There is sometimes quite a heavy loss because theibirds are more or less weaklings due to some infec­ tion or .lack of attention when young or growing. Success in the poultry business depends upon continual vig­ ilance. Rye has been found to be good pasture for growing chicks. Where this has been sown in the fall it is ready for the early hatched chicks when the time comes to put them on range. An early planting m the spring may give sufficient growth by the time the late March chicks are ready to go on range. Another strip could be planted later and the col­ ony house or range shelter moved on to it when the first strip is picked off or has become too course. Pro­ fessor Graham’s pasture recommen­ dation is as follows: Fall sown rye for early spring pasture, which may be supplemented with permanent grass pasture. In spring, an early variety of oats could be sown as soon as possible in April, another lot sown early in May and again late in May in order to keep fresh green feed coming along. Once the cereals joint they are greatly re­ duced in value as a poultry pasture. To supply pasture in summer and early fall, kale, swiss chard, rape and corn could be planted. Corn and rape could be sown late in May where t'he fall rye has been. Besides giving green feed the corn is valuable for supplying shade. The rape could be broadcast and the corn sown in drills. Moving t|he colony houseis or shelter permits more complete Utilization of the pasture crop and improves general sanitation of the range. The fertility of the soil will affect t!he quality of the pasture, Stimulate The Sluggish Liver Clean The Coated Tongue Remove Bad Taste In Mouth Sweeten The Breath fcURUED AT STAFFA There passed peacefully away on Sunday morning Mr; Thos, WOrden in his 82nd year.

How are you crippled?” 'College Graduate—-'financially.”' G. W. Holman, former County Clerk, Honored on Birthday Mr. Geo. T. Holman, who in a period of about sixty years perform­ ed the several duties of school teacher, township clerk, county au­ ditor and county clerk in Huron, re­ cently celebrated his eighty-first birthday, having been born in the year 1857 on lot 10, concession 1, township of Stephen, in what was for many years the little postoffice village of Devon, two and one-half miles south of the thriving village of Exeter. This settlement was made thro’ the energy and enterprise of a vig­ orous class of young settler immi­ grants who came mostly from the southern part of England in or about the years 1825 to 1,830. The clear­ ing of the which they ly growing maple and roads, erection of comfortable homes and of housing for the increasing stock of cows and other cattle, along with the other necessary labor of the farms, developed the hardy man­ hood and womanhood of large fam­ ilies into good, strong, brainy men and women, fitted to meet the dif- diculties that confronted them, while the close association of a populous community made for an interdepen­ dence of living that developed the manly and helpful spirit so common in such early communities. Of this it is the intention to, write later, but at present it is the purpose of this writing to refer particularly to an incident that occurred recently in the life of one of the many who can call Devon, Ontario, their home. To Mr. B. W. F. Beavers, of Exe­ ter, at one time Reeve of the Vil­ lage, and Warden of the County in the year 19 23 must be given the credit of initiating the idea set out in the following testimonial, which he prepared for distribution among those County Councillors who were associates of his and of Mr. Hol­ man’s during the latter’s sixteen years of office as County Clerk. This testimonial bears the signatures of most of the Wardens and many of the Councillors of the sixteen year period: Birthday Greetings Goderich, Ont., Mar. 19, > Mr. Geo. W. Holman, •Goderich, Ont.

Tells Farmers Not To Road Work GODERICH—Farmers who during the last few years have been making extra money working on .provincial highways are being advised this year to stay on the land and stick to the business of farming, for there is go­ ing to be very little work done on provincial 'highways in Huron or any other county. “That’s just what I’m telling the job seekers,” said James Ballantyne, M.L.A., Huron. “I don’t know yet what appropriation we are going to get, if any. I am trying to land five or six miles of permanent highway construction on No. 21, between GO- deric'h and Bayfield, but I don’t feel any too sure aJbout it,” ■District engineers say their appro­ priation for maintenance is so small this year, that they will have to put patrolmen on a three-day week. “Many men will not get on the roads until thistle time,” Mr, Bal- lahtyhe said. “Of course there is nine or 10 million dollars of old com tracts to be finished up, but over that it is hard to say what will hap­ pen. I’m hoping for the best,” Work is in progress in the laying of the water pipes from the fire hall to. Zurich Creamery. A two-inch gal­ vanized pipe is being laid and the necessary outlets are being provided, for, so that the system can be extend­ ed at any future time when other consumers sign. The water is ob­ tained from a rock well at the fire •hall and is absolutely pure. It is pumped into a 5,000-gallon tank which is fitted with a pressure pump and can be supplied to any part of the village when necessary pipes are laid.-—(Huron Expositor) Local Woman—“What can I do to have soft, beautiful hands?
