While the supply relative to the
numbers of grain-consuming animal
units should be sufficient for require-
ments during the current crop year,
variety may become as limited as it
was in the Spring of 1946. The high-
protein feed supplieslfor the approach-
ing year are expected to remain short
of requirements, Roughage supplies,
although somewhat smaller than in
1,945-46, appear to be large enough, ex-
cept in Some local areas, to meet anti- ,
cipated needs and the reduced hay sup-
plies have been offset to a certain ex-
tent by a slightly increased production
of fodder corn,
Preparing Poultry For
Breeding Season
(Experimental Farms News)
The selection of the best material
both male and female, feeding for good
hatchability well ahead of the time
that eggs are needed for hatching and
attention to the housing conditions of
the poultry flock are important steps
toward a successful hitching season.
In the selection of the birds as breed-
ers, under no circumstances should
there be any leaning towards leniency
in a decision only those showing char-
acteristics approaching the ideal
should be chosen. Good size of body,
a bright red head and visible signs of
egg laying ability must be the strict
standard,
While pearl or grey eyes are char-
acteristic of some varieties of fowl,
most breeds used for egg production
should show a reddish bay eye colour.
Second year birds if of egg laying
ability should be favoured as breeders
over pullets. In the recording of egg
production or, the Dominion Experi-
mental Station at Harrow, it has' been
noted that the variation in persistency
in an individual bird is more marked
during the latter half of the laying
year. It is easier 'to read the signs of
a year of good production 'after it has
been made than to foretell the value
of a young bird, although site may be
laying well at the time.
Several brands of ready mixed hatch-
ing mashes are available which pro-
mote good hatchability; but where
.home grown feeds are used, milk pow-
der and green feeds should be includ-
ed in the proper quantities.
The freshness of the mash is very
important because certain elements
which are conducive to good hatch-
ability tend. to deteriorate during stor-
age.

I can also remember my first trip

When night came on I watched the

I can remember the day I :bought
my farm. The papers were all cleared
up and I went back to the farm and
reached down and picked up a hand-

any better if it were pure gold. I slept
outside all night in the grass in the
orchard and I lay awake the biggest
part of the night and looked up at the
stars and dreamed the best dreams a
man could ever have,
When my first son was born I
waited until my wife was out of danger

Production of creamery butter in
1946 totalled 270 million pounds, a de-
crease of 8 per cent from 1945, while
dairy butter production was estimated
at 55 million pounds. This production
of 325 million pounds was not suffi-
cient to maintain a 6-ounce ration in
1946, and may not provide sufficient
stocks to meet a 6-ounce ration in the
first 4 months of 1947. Dairy butter
production has become relatively stab-
ilized at approximately 55 million lbs.
which means that creamery butter pro-
duction would have to tatal 295 million
pounds in 1947 if the 6-ounce ration is
to be maintained from domestic pro-
duction.
On the basis of a per capita con-
sumption of 32 pounds per annum
(1940-42 average) it has been estimat-
ed that the butter requirements in Can-
ada would total 345 million pounds .of
creamery and 55 million pounds -of
dairy butter or approximately 80 mica
lion pounds higher than .1946 produe-,
tion. Each pound change in the 01,
capita rate represents approximately
12l million pounds of butter per an-
num.
A producers' subsidy of 10 cents per
pound of butterfat used in the manu-
facture of creamery butter is payable
under the present Order in Council un-
til April 30th., 1947.
