You can help prevent much illness and poor health by guarding them from common constipation. Most constipation comes from faulty diet—meals low in “bulk.” This condition can be corrected so easily and pleasantly. Kellogg’s All-Bran provides the safe way to prevent constipation by putting “bulk” back in the diet. Within the body, All-Bran absorbs twice its weight in water, forming a soft mass which gently sponges out the system. Kellogg’s All-Bran also fur­ nishes vitamin B and iron. It is so much better for your family than constant dosing with artificial pills and drugs. Two tablespoonfuls daily as a cereal, With milk, dr- cream, or in recipes, are enough for the average person. Three times daily in severe cases.

News and Information For the Busy Farmer Care in Fertilizers .Every farmer hopes to obtain the best possible results from the fertiliz­ er .which he will buy this spring. The results depend of course on good drainage of the land, the quantity of humus in the soil that will hold mois­ ture, the suitability of the fertilizer for the crop on which it is to be us­ ed and the placement of the fertilizer when it is applied. Experiments disclose that the pro­ per placement of fertilizer is about as important as the plant food con­ tent of the fertilizer itself and that when broadcast much waste of plant food is bound to. occur. Realization of this fact is becoming more general every day and farmers are advised to study the fertilizer placement ques­ tion with a view to obtaining better results. Information regarding this may be obtained from Dominion Ex­ perimental Farms and the Agricultur­ al Colleges. Wrecking Plant Established Here A new industry has started on the : outskirts of our town. At the junc- ; tion of No. 4 Highway and the old road, on a V-shaped piece of land, ■ just north of town, a car wrecking , establishment has been erected. The concern will wreck old cars, save such parts as are usable and dispose of the balance of metal as junk. The price of scrap metal during the past year has gone up by leaps and bounds and the demand is great. Many places for some ’time have* had auto graveyards but this is the first one to be estab­ lished in these parts, although most of our local garages carry on some­ what in this line of business. Bly th Couple 43 Years Married A very pleasant time was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Rath, 6th Concession of East Wawa- nosh, on Sunday, March 14th, when they were hosts to Mrs. Rath’s par­ ents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Noble of Blyth, whose 43rd wedding annivers­ ary was that day. Present also for the celebration .were the other mem­ bers of the family, Mrs. Bert Hig­ gins, of Brantford, her husband and daughter Valerie, Mr. Roy Noble and his wife, 5th concession of East Wa- wanosh. Others present were Mr. and Mrs. Noble’s brothers and sisters and a few friends. At the noon hour a dinner was served arid the afternoon was spent quietly in conversation and the taking of pictures. Kitchener Man Murdered Kitchener and Provincial police are ■faced with one of the most baffling murder mysteries in Kitchener’s his­ tory following the discovery early Sunday morning of the body of Law­ rence Hewitt, 30 year old taxicab pro­ prietor and prominent Kitchener Sportsman. t Shot throUglh-the heart with a 32 calbirc bullet, Hewitt was found Short­ ly after 2 a.m. sprawled in the muddy ditch beside the Kitchener-Preston Highway, two miies east of Kitchener and near Centreville. A robbery the­ ory was blasted when the police found in the dead man’s pockets $17 in bills Carriers of Disease Even though the laying flock was apparently healthy last year, the pul­ lets are apt to suffer severe losses if the laying house is not kept thor­ oughly cleaned and disinfected. Many times some of the’ hens are carriers of highly infectious disease germs which may infect the .pullets, yetlit- lte affect the old laying stock. For this reason, pullets should always be housed in separate quarters. To prepare the house for the pul­ lets the litter and droppings should be removed and all extraneous mat­ ter scraped loose from the floor, walls, dropping boards,- roosts, feeders, wat- erers, and other movable equipment. These parts of the house should then be well soaked and scrubbed with a good disinfectant—using lye water solution at the rate of one ponnd of household lye to 12 or 15 gal­ lons of cold water. If tuberculosis has been in the flock in the past, it is well to spray the house with a cre­ sol dip. It should be remembered that even a good disinfectant cannot penetrate It’s the EARLY BIRD that makes MOST MONEY IT’S the early bird that gets the worm.” The early bird hasn’t so much competition. It’s the same with the early chick. It hasn’t so much com­ petition — so it makes most money. 1. Brooding is well on before the rush of Spring Work. 2. The early cockerel gets to market when prices are best. 3. The early pullet lays best when egg prices average high­ est. And, 4, she lays BIG eggs in the Fall, when big eggs are at highest premium.

Adams, Agent wingham Ontario e Crushed Grain Laying Mash The following rolled grain laying mash is taken frpm Farm Poultry bulletin Number 379, issued by the Ontario Deartmont of Agriculture, O- A.C., Guelph; Crushed or rolled grain is prefer­ red by chickens to finely ground grains, particularly such grains as wheat, oats and barley. These grains when ground, and wet are of a sticky nature, and this., may be the reason for the hens’ preference for crushed grains. The refuse hulls should bp removed daily. Good results in egg production and hatching power of eggs were secured in 1934 and 1935 from a ration con­ sisting of equal parts of crushed oats, crushed wheat, crushed barley. To each one hundred pounds of the above grains was added one quart of good grade cod liver oil from November .1st to-April. It is necessary to feed some clover leaves or hay, and to sup­ ply animal protein such as milk pow­ der, beef meal or fish meal, or -«11 three, in separate hoppers or contain- . ers. These feeds do not mix well with crushed grains. Birds to date have shown no disposition to eat an ex­ cess of these materials if supplied constantly. Skim-milk or buttermilk fed at the rate of twenty-five pounds daily to each hundred hens, provides enough animal protein without supplying any other, such as fish meal or meal meal. The best hatches were secured from the eggs laid by hens receiving milk only as the animal protein. Supply a hopper each of grit, oys­ ter shell and bone meal. If care is given as to feeding a reasonable amount of crushed grain daily, there will be little wastage. Where the birds are forced to eat all the hulls there is at times trouble with their gizzards becoming impacted suf­ ficiently to cause death. Feed scratch grain, as usual, of the kinds of grain you have. You feed whole wheat as scratch and crushed oats and barley mash. Current Farm Reports Durham County reports that the majority of farmers have enough roughage to carry their stock until spring, but the supply will be pretty well exhausted by the time the pas­ tures are ready. The initial T.B. test of cattle there will be completed in mid-March. Livestock are on the thin side in Northumberland due to short­ age of feed. Large quantities of seed grain are required there. Prince Ed­ ward reports that due to lack of snow and lower temperatures, fall wheat is looking brown and farmers in some districts report clover to be heaving. The market for horses there remains at satisfactory prices. Livestock are in good condition in Frontenac. Hay prices there have advanced with good quality timothy at $9.00 per ton, bal­ ed and mixed hay, including red clov­ er and alfalfa, selling at $10.00 per ton baled. Glengarry reports a con­ siderable movement of Ayrshire and Holstein oattle, with American buy­ ers paying $45 to $70 for grades and $90 and up for purebreds. Milk pro­ duction in Grenville is a little ab.ove average for this time of year, with several cheese factories making cheese throughout the winter months. Continued lack of sleighing in Leeds has slowed up farm work, with haul­ ing of wood, logs and ice almost at a standstill. Movement of hay has been light and prices low in Ren­ frew. An increased demand for seed grain is noted there and seed -dealers seem assured that all available sup­ plies of seed grain will be checked; up at an early date. Wonderful winter weather is reported from Mahitoulin Island, with working conditions in the woods excellent.

Away back in a Scottish village a housewife left a haddock hanging from the rafters of her cottage as she went out for the day. She had left it too near the peat fire, however, and when she returned the fish was all dried by the smoke from the fire. She decided to cook it anyway and the re­ sult was so appetizing that the news spread like wildfire and smoked fish became a national delicacy. Today the popularity of smoked fish has spread everywhere and the appetite for this delicacy has found­ ed Canadian organizations of inter­ national repute, some of which have been established for a century and more. The Canadian climate has been found ideal for the production of this: delicacy and other cured fish and to­ day the Dominion holds a foremost place in world trade in the export of dried, smoked and pickled fish.
