While it has long been, known that farm manure profoundly increases . . the yields of farm crepe, definite in- formation is scanty regarding" the value of such inerease expressed in dollars. and cents. For ten years the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa has been conduetin.g experiments to determine the value of farm yard manure applied to the raangel crop, which was the first crop of a rotation consisting of mangela oats, clover hay, and timothy hay. To the mangel crop was applied 15 tons per acre of farm yard manure. A comparison be- tween the crops produced on this land was made during a five-year period with similar crops 011 umnenured land, that was in an equal state of fertility when the experiment beg,an. With mangels, the large labor ex- pense for hoeing and cultivating are the same whether the crop is large or small, while, el course, the prepara- tion of the land ana' the seeding of the crop entail equal expenses. Only in pulling, leading and hauling would much difference exist. With oats there would not be a very marked. difference in the expense incurred in handling a large mop as compared with that required for a small crop. Hay, to a greater extent than the two pre- vious 'crops, would necessitate more expense for a larger crop, but the proportion of total, expense would not be -very great on high-priced land where rental charges are high, In 192Q. farm manure produced the following increased returns per acre: an increased crop of 15.5 tons of man - gels at $2.88 per ton, worth $44.64; an increased. crop of 8.8 bushels of oats at 58 cents per bushel, worth $5.10; an increas-ed crop of 1.7 tons of clever hay at $24.30 per ton, woeth $41.31. As the second year crop on the un.manured plot was pastured and not cut, it was necessary to make an estimate af the increased yield in this crop over the unnianured crop. This has been rplaced at $20.65 per acre. In the previous year the increased value of the four crops amounted. to $77.51, which gave $5.17 for each ten of manure used. During each of the three previous years the manure gave a profit at a decreasing ratio, amount- ing in 1918 to $6.14 per ton, in 1917 to $3.74 per ton, and in 1916 to $3.58 per ton of manure applied to the mangel crop. These experiments clearly 13how that the use of falai manure has a value in farm practice, and should therefore be conserved to the fullest possible extent. For the five-year per- iod from 1916 to 1920 inclusive, the farm manure used produced an in- creased monetary' value on the four acres of land of $391.29. . nice herd of it is likely to be .dusty, g,reat care cows of good producing .ability and: he tdieuld be e:rercised not to feed it to knows that, barring unusual occur - brood. /wares.

The mare will be healthier, foal stronger -at birth, and parturition will be easier if She is used at some slaw work almost every day. If the mare is iSde in winter, most of the feed may be roughage, but the ration sh-ould be increased when -the mare is -worked. The quientity of feed is determined, by sizeand condition of the animal— whether fat or thin—the work it does, sick ea well, appetite, condition. of the droppings and, whether the animal is easy or hard to keep.—M. W. B. My experience in feeding mares in foal, which covers a period, of over twenty years and several different breeds. shows that it is important to have the right kind of mares to breed and then feed them enough to keep them in good healthy growing -condi- tion, but not too fat, as a mare "hog fat" is almost sure to drop a small and -sometimes very weak foal. I have fed nearly everything, but find. oats, with a feed once a day of bright alfalfa or clever, about the best yet. Any kind of roughage, such as corn -stalks or oat straw, will do in ,between the alfalfa Or clover. I find alfalfa or clever takes the place of bran in keeping the bowels loose. If the mare is working regularly, a quart of wheat shores twice a day, mixed with the oats, makes a strong ration; but I would not advise fe'ealing this if the mare is standing any length of time between working periods. If the mare does not foal until after the grass starts in the spring, turn her out on pasture for at least part of the day, as I find that green grass, sunshine and fresh water are the best renovators for any horse, whether a mare in foal or one that has been either raced out or worked out. Another thing, allow plenty of salt. Have it Where the mares can get it at all times and do net forget to give seine knicknacks once in a while, such as apples, carrots, ete. If mares are fret the stable, keep the stable clean. Mares in foal require a balanced ra- tioe. Simply filling them up on eorn fodder or straw will not bring the desired results; the mares must also have seine feeds which contain pro- tein, such as alfalfa or clever hay and eats. A ration composed- of straw and cern will not furnish the necessary food elements, for they contain only carbohydrates whie.h alone do not make a balanced ration. Mares in feal require more feed than do geldings or mares Dot in foal. We allow our mares to run in the stalk fields during the day if the weather is ,not stormy and than at night feed them some alfalfa hay and eats, Very little corn is fed to horses; a small amount is all right, but should not be used as the exclusive grain ration, Toward the end of the gestation period the mares require, more feed than before, as the foal has now be- come of such a size as to require ireere nourishment from the mother end she must be fed more liberally in order to keep her own system up, as well as 'to nourish the foal, Plenty of fresh Water should be available for the mare at all timet, and it should have the chill removed. Ice -water is unhealthful for any ,stock and especi- ally for -mares in foal. A tank heater Pc used to take thecJU1 from ihe The Bacon Hog. The Deputy Ministers of Agricul- ture a every province, either in per- son or by representation, and; repre- sentatives of all the principal pack- ing houses, attended a conference on the bacon hog industry, called by the Dominion Minister of Agriculture, and presideci over by the Deputy Minister of the Department, Dr. J. H. Grisdale, at Ottawa on November 2nd and 8rd. After a thorough discussion of the present situation es regards the bacon trade, grades ansi standards were adopted as follows and recom- mended for recognition: (1) A select bacon .hog was defined as with jowl and shoulder light and: smooth, back from neek to tail evenly, fleshed, side long, medium depth, dropping straight from back, ham full, good general fin- ish, no excess fat, and weighing from 160 to 210 pounds. (2) Thick smooth hog, not conforming to Wiltshire standard but of smooth fleshing finish, weighing from 160 to 210 lbs. (8) Heavies, any type of smooth fleshing and finish, weighing 210 to 260 lbs. (4) Extra hea-vies, any type of smooth fleshing and finish, weighing over 260 lbs. (5) Shop hogs, any type of smoothoonformation'finished weight 120 to 160 lbs. (6) Lights and -feed- ers, any :type of smooth conformation, unfinished weight 160 lbs. and under. (7) Roughs, of rough conformation, any weight. ,(8) Sows, all females Apples and Potatoes. Apples and potatoes are the crops that are in most general demand among fruits and vegetables, and it is therefore interesting to note the re- turns from the different provinces of yields of these given by the Deminion Fruit Commissioner. Dealing with apples first, British Columbia exports an excess of 100 per cent. over last year, or 1,009,000 barrels; Ontario, a crop of 60 per cent compared with 1026, or 960,000 barrels; Quebec, 85 to 40 per cent. of last year, or around 35,200 !barrels; New Brenswiek about 10 per cent in excess of last year, Or 33,000 barrels; Nava Scotia 10 to 15 per cent, in exeess of last year, or 1,300,000 barrels. Turning to potatoeS, British Columbia's crop is about 75 per cent. of last year, or 1,800,000 bushels; Alberta, 90 per cent. of last year, or 6,425,000 bushels; Manitoba, 90 per cent. of last year, or 5,115,000 bushels; Ontario, 45 per cent. of last year, or 10,783,000 bushels; Quebec, 75 per cent. of last year, or 28,225,000 bushels; New Brunswick, 70 per cent, of last year, of '10,857,000 -bushels; Print° Edward Tslaral, 80 per tent. el Iasi year, or 4,940,000 bushels; Neva Scotia, 50 per cente of last year, oriti ecuvin,,, vremineut spade In the 5,1.06,600 bushels.

Each hen has an individuality and her own notion's and customs. That different breeds have different char- acteristics, we all know, but many do not study their flock or de not con- sider it necessary to do so. ,Seme one seggests that hens -which are talked; of and made much of will, in turn, be good layers. ,Then is a measure of truth in this; certainly fowls treated with itindesee. -will do better work than those which are never -baffled and are frightened at the approach of any one. But don't get the idea that kindeessewill ,procluce eggs. A hen possessing no laying stra-in worthy of mention will never repay ene's effection by eggs if there are 710 eggs bred in her. Secure the breed and strain, add te this a study of the flock, and to,this companionship and care, and the re- sults will be satisfactory.
