Dull headaches, poor appetite,
sleeplessness are warning signs.
You feel low—hate to work, These
symptoms may point to constipa

The 1936 crop, in Southern On
tario approximated 1,000,000 pounds
from 2,000 acres. A large part of this
is of medium to high grade quality
and should therefore, be in good de
mand by Canadian manufacturers in
replacing the broom corn of foreign
production.

Time to Consider Seed Requirements
At the commencement of the new
year farmers should estimate their
seed requirements and investigate
sources ot supply, Those with suffic
ient supply of home produced seed
should clean and grade it carefully,
so as to sow the fewest possible of
weed seeds and small seed which
would produce only weak plants. Re
cords since the dawn of civilization
prove the truth of the addage: "We
reap what we sow.” Good crops can
not be grown without good seed.
There is an abundance of timothy
and alsike seed this year in Canada
and tlfe supply of domestic, red clov
er, alfalfa and sweet clover is low and
should be obtained as early as poss
ible. Seed grain is in good supply
for 1937 seeding except in the drought
areas of Western Canada and in East,
ern Quebec, where seed will need
be shipped ’in before spring.

Pack Eggs Big End Up
Eggs, especially those to be shipped
for hatching, should be packed snug
ly with the large end up as hatching
eggs are less likely to be broken
when in this position than if they
are packed with the small end up.
Each normal egg has an air cell at
the large end and it is necessary that

New Seed-Cleaning Plant
Arrangements have been made
the Peterborough Seed Growers’ As
sociation to establish a seed cleaning
plant for the district.
President Howard Quinn intimat
ed that the machinery will be oper
ated for the members of the assoc
iation under private ownership. Part
of the cost of installation, which will
be around the thousand dollar mark,
will be borne by farmers of the dis
trict who will take it out again by
way of seed cleaning.
The equipment, which will consist
of a power’ cleaner, cutter, cleaner
and grader, will be used for prepar
ing malting barley, different kinds of
clover and timothy and for the clean
ing and grading of seed grain. I
Results of Litter Contest
Results of Ontario’s thirteenth bac
on litter contest in eight years, and
the third since the rail grading has
come into force have recently been
announced by Homer Maybee, Senior
Hog Grader, Dominion Live Stock
Branch, at Toronto. The litters in
this competition were farrowed in the
fall. There was a total entry of 129
litters scattered throughout the prov
ince out of which 72 litters complet-
by
district.
This was the third competition
where the scoring was done on the
basis of dressed weight and grade,
and this time the score for weight
was made directly on the carcass
weight without first bringing it back
to live weight. It is believed that pro
ducers are now well enough inform
ed to think’ of market hogs in terms
of dressed weight.
The summary of the 42 prize-win
ning litters showed the youngest av
erage age yet obtained and the larg
est size of litter. The average weight
per pig was equivalent to 205.6 lbs.
live weight which was down a little
and the quality was high.
The honor of producing the best
litter in this competition went to
Geo. Lannib & Sons, Dublin, who
won first prize in District 2. Fifteen
pig* were marketed at 175 days of
age weighing 2321 lbs. dressed and
grading. 10 A’S. This litter was from
a Yorkshire sow and boar, the lat
ter having strong Advanced Registry
backing. A few of the carcasses were
a bit short and the shoulder fat on
same was a little too thick—otherwise
it was a splendid litter. The feed used
was 6200 lbs. oats and barley chop
and 6000 ibs. skim milk together with
1000

The play had only nicely started
when Murray Rae took a pass from
Jim Thompson, it looked a sure goal
but there was nothing doing. .Play
•was slow for a few minutes and the
lines changed’, Boyd was hurt, when
he had a tumble. H, Mitchell missed
a glorious chance, missing the open
net. Brown missed on a rebound off
H. Mitchell’s shot, The Beavers up
to this time were as good as their
opponents, then the Champs began
to assert themselves. They gave Mc
Gee a few anxious moments, Murray
Rae muffed another good, opportun
ity again on Thompsons’ pass. Bleich
opened the scoring on a pass from
Cassidy. Jim Thompson "was right in
on the side but missed. Cruikshank's
staged a couple of nice rushes and
Rae missed Thompson’s rebound.
Schultz made it 2-0 for Durham on
McDonald’s pass. Cruickshanks made
a long shot, tore in for the rebound
but failed to click. The period ended
with the play slowing up a bit.
v Bert Mitchell Injured
The second period was a tough one
from a Wingham standpoint as Bert
Mitchell received a cracked rib and
had to retire from the game. Murray
Rae missed two good chances at the
opening of the period, one on a pass
from Thompson. McGee saved with
Rennie in on top of him. Durham
pressed; Cruickshanks relieved with a
nice rush, then McGirr went off for
tripping Rae when he was sifting in
to the clear. Rennie .took a pass at
the blue line and worked his way
through the defence for a goal. Mc
Gee was called on

stage, Rae and Mitchell and Thomp
son were all in close, then Rennie
made the best rush of the game to
notch another to put Durham up 6-0.
Just before the period ended H. Mit
chell received a couple of nice passes
but failed to score by inches.
A 6-Goal Period
In the first part of the third per
iod Durham gave a smart display of
hpekey. Dean scored one on a dif
ficult angle frdm the wing and a few
minutes later repeated on a pass from
Cassidy. Boyd got credit for one that
went in off a skate. Harold Mitchell
got the Beavers’ first gobi. He. took
a wide pass from Elliott inside the
blue line and scored nicely. Boyd
was penalized and Sturdy followed
him. Wingham scored two in quick
succession, H. Mitchell passed to Rae
who scored and then Harold scored
his second goal on Rae’s pass. Moses
was sent to the cooler and Whigham
pressed by Thompson was put off
which ended the rally. 1

| Reducing Mortality
Mortality among chickens, both old
I and young, is the bane of the poultry
■ industry. This is particularly notice
able in commercial flocks, due prob
ably to a large extent to the unnat
ural conditions under which the birds
are housed and
part of the year
surroundings in
are maintained.
course, lies in acquiring more scien
tific knowledge in the care of chick
ens and the \ipplication of this know
ledge over a greater farming area.
The first step advised by the au
thorities is the adoption of a sane
sanitary programme for raising the
annual crop of pullets, so that they
will be as free as possible of para
sitic infestation and infectious diseas
es when they are housed. Secondly,
by vaccinating when necessary at the
proper time for the control of such
diseases as fowl pox and laryngotra
cheitis; later, if possible, to eradicate
these diseases.
Thirdly, dispose of all old birds
previous to housing new crop of pul-
e.ts on the farm annually where any
disease has been epidemic. Regard
less of how valuable an old hen may
be as a breeder, she stands indicted
as a source of most of the disease
troubles that are carried over from
generation to generation.
