News and Information For the Busy Farmer Selection of Eggs for Hatching The Department of Poultry Hus­ bandry, O.A.C., Guelph, in Bulletin 379, “Farm Poultry,” advise t’o “sel­ ect eggs for size, shape and colour. In view of the weight standard for market eggs, it is wise to select eggs for hatching which are two ounces or better in weight. It is well to keep in mind that two-ounce bullet eggs are equal to a somewhat heavier egg from the same bird as a hen. Con­ tinuous selection, year after year, will give results. Do not select dirty eggs or handle eggs with soiled hands. The egg shell is porous, hence there is a possibility of contamination.” “Eggs deteriorate in hatching qual­ ity with age. When holding eggs for hatching, keep them in a cool place at about fifty to sixty degrees Fah­ renheit. The temperature should be uniform. Be sure that the place is clean and not musty. Eggs for hatch­ ing should be kept not longer than ten days, and the sooner the eggs set after being laid, the better hatch is likely to be.” Conservation Committees There has been a conservation rommittee appointed by many of the county councils this year. One of the first questions asked is ‘what ac­ tivities should and will the commit­ tee sponsor? Naturally they wish to accomplish something tangible, and this often leads to a planting scheme. Planting is necessary and all work along this line is to be complimented. Is planting the most important and is it not ovcr-empl/asized when com­ pared to other activities that a con­ servation committee might carry on? Is not the conservation of the re­ maining woodland the most important consideration? Most people realize stands for Olives The tasty first bite Your guests will insist on When dining tonight. Tonight, or any other night, the olive is anticipated by dinner guests. Globes of green, and crisp celery on chopped ice should greet the guests as they sit down. This is expected. Few shelves in the grocery are as attractive as those containing rows of small and large glass bottles — clearly showing the size and type of olive they contain. The glass bottle is traditional for olives because, appetizing as they are, they must be kept in tip-top condition until they reach your table. Some modern jars are ac­ companied by a small wooden fork which olives. But plain Here are two recipes that will in­ crease your olive appreciation: that planting would out be necessary to-day if 10 acres of woods had been left on every 100-200 *acre farm and all the sub-marginal land left in tim­ ber rather than clearing for agricul­ tural crops and allowing fire to run through cut-over lands. How can we encourage farmers to take measures to preserve the wood­ land that remains' on their farms. If a farmer considers the woodland an. asset, he will preserve it, A woodlot that pays dividends is more liable to be preserved than one that doesn’t. Much larger returns will be received over a period of years by following forestry principles in the management than in carrying on the common, practices of clear-cutting young growth, allowing trees to decay, cut­ ting all valuable species and leaving weed trees to seed up the woods. Farmers will plant trees more read-, ily if their neighbor is making money from his woods. All woodland should have small trees coming on ready to take the place of the large trees that are cut This reproduction may be secured naturally, that is from the seed that falls from the large trees and the far­ mer does not have to make a cash outlay. It is a guarantee that there will be a woodlot there 50 - 75 years hence. The natural reproduction is interfered with and in many woodlots eliminated by the grazing of live­ stock. More reforestation could be secured in a few years from natural reproduction if all woodlots had the stock shut out than will by planting •in the next fifty years. The main activity' of a conserva­ tion committee should be education, and the following phases should be- emphasized: 1. The value of woodlots to the farmer, community and province. 2. Forestry principales that may economically be practised in wood­ land on Southern Ontario woodlots. 3. The necessity and the technique of establishing plantations and wind­ breaks. Municipalities should take the lead in planting, as they can wait the 50 - 75 years that it takes to grow merchantable sized trees. k ____________ i p Cat Hairs Brought Identification of Theft Ring Analysis of cat hairs has led to identification of a stolen automobile and the breaking up of an auto-theft ring with headquarters at Tara, ac­ cording to police. Round-up of a number of missing cars which had been considerably altered was made at Owen Sound by Toronto police. In one case ownership was proven by cat hairs found in the car. The cat in question, a pedigreed Angora, had been accustomed to daily rides in the car before it was stolen. In altering the car's appearance after it was stol­ en, however, the thieves failed to give it a complete cleaning and when lo­ cated. by police, cat hairs were found \oti the upholstery. These hairs were, shown by analysis to have come from the Angora, thus proving ownership of the car. Spanish Sandwiches Butter lightly thin slices of bread and remove crusts.
