News and Information For the Busy Farmer Dried apple rings constitute prac tically the only type of dried tree fruit shipped from Canada to the Bri tish market. In the expansion of Canada’s for eign trade, Canadian tobacco has -es tablished a market in Sierra Leone, British West Africa, where it enters under an Imperial preference of eight cents per pound. Canada supplied 20% of the total wheat imports into Japan; Australia 55%, . and the United States 23%. Canada is also the chief exporter of lead to Japan, as well as being a lead ing source of lumber, pulp, newsprint and zinc. Research experiments have shown that the original quality, flavour and colour of honey in storage can best be maintained at a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit, or lower, and that rapid deterioration takes place at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. If the tem perature is low and constant, extract ed honey can be stored indefinitely without change of colour or flavour and without fermentation. Exercising the Breeding• Ewes The matter of exercising the ewe flock should not be considered light ly. If strong lambs are to be had, pregnant ewes should have access to a run at all times. If necessary, spread hay on the snow so as to force them to move. This will help to keep them in good health. Avoid crowded quarters. Not only are they unsani tary, but they are the cause of many abortions. Rc>?.in Early Layers In Studying the income from eggs in’121 farm flocks; it was found that the pullets which laid from 25 to 30% of their total production during the pullet year in October, November and December, brought a much larger egg income than the birds in flocks that laid only 10% during the three months mentioned. This was partly due to the fact that the eggs from the early laying flock brought an av erage of five cents a dozen more than those from the flocks that be gan laying later in the season. The cost of the feed for the early laying" flocks was only 1% cents per dozen eggs produced than for the latter laying birds, thus netting 3% '.cents .more per dozen. Aside from this, the early laying flocks produced 49 more eggs per bird per year than the later laying flocks. High egg production, with the largest possible number of eggs produced during that portion of the season when they bring the best prices are very impor tant factors in the annual income re ceived from the flock. Raising Geese The essentials to success in goose raising, are free range and an abund ance of tender grass or clover. The geese should start to lay about the middle of March, and the eggs should be set as soon as possible. It is ad visable to sprinkle the eggs with luke Warm water once daily when set un der the mother goose or under hens, and twice daily when set in an incu bator. Goslings require warmth after hatching and should be left under the goose or in the incribator for about two days. When the goslings are ready for feeding, place a green sod near the brooder that they may pull the tend er shoots. For the first few days they should be fed bread crumbs moisten ed with milk. When they are about a week old give them a moist mash composed of equal weights of corn meal, barley meal, bran and. shorts, feeding three or four times a day for about two week’s. ) FAMOUS SPORTSMAN 82 YEARS OLD Argument with Charles Varice Mil lar about changing the maternity race clauses of his famous will, din ner with Al.

Clearly,These second growth stands usual- ly require a thinning ,and these ne cessary thinnings would yield quantities of fuel-wood. it must vary with the market condi tions and the species, but there are several relationships between trees of small and large diameters that should be understood and given careful con sideration. All species of trees should not be cut indiscriminately for fuel-wood as some, such as white ash, walnut, oak, pine and spruce, on account of qual ities of the wood have a very high value for special purposes and much higher financial returns over a per iod of years will be .realized if they are left to grow to timber size. All trees have to go through the seedling, sapling and polewood stag es, and during this time the annual wood growth is only a fraction, when compared to the annual growth when it is in the larger diameter classes. The general rule is that the annual growth of wood on a tree increases as the tree increase in size. A ‘sugar maple tree 2 inches in di ameter and 30 feet in height is likely 25-30 years old. There is a very small quantity of wood in the tree at this stage, and if it is cut now, 25-30 years will elapse before a tree 2 inches in diameter will grow to take its place. On the other hand, if it was left to grow for thirty years it would likely be 7” to 8” in diameter.

It is these ques tions which prompt an article to show that there are many things we cannot do; we do not know how to do them. I wo words which are not used in medicine arc “always” and “never”. So it is that' we rannot assure our correspondents that something will “always" or “never" happen. We can not give the unqualified assurances which the quack gives because we have too much respect for scientific truth. A diagnosis cannot be made by cor respondence; it is only possible to make a guess in. this way. A doctor does not make his diagnosis solely on the symptoms as described to him by his patient; examination and study of the patient are always necessary. The woman who writes in to ask' us if a lump in her breast is cancer should know that we cannot give the answer to her question because all we know is what she tells us. Only an examination will reveal the nat ure of the lump. Underweight and tuberculosis are fixed together in the minds of many people who think of tuberculosis, as they have seen it in its late stages, as a wasting disease. You can’t rec ognize tuberculosis, whether in child ren or in adults, by weight, because individuals who are overweight, who are of average weight, and Who are under weight may have the disease. You can’t eat a meal in five min utes and, at the same time, chew your food properly. The human body may be likened to a machine, but it is much more than a machine because you can’t have mental health unless you get personal satisfaction out of what you do.
