Representing Harvesting And Retting High Quality Flax Fibre (Experimental Farm's News) Harveatig and retting are two cd the most improtant phrases in the ,production of flax fibre. A mistake at either of these stages ,statee the Fibre Division, Central EJxperiment al Falun, Ottawa, will .seriously de- crease the value of the crop. The crop should he harvested when the steam have turned a golden yellow, the lower leaves have fallen oft, and one-half to one third of the seed bolls have turned brown. The method used to harvest a crop of fibre flax will depend on the flan?1 product requited and this in turn depends on the' quality of the flax and Ohe availability of the machin- ery, to harvest and process, it. If the flex plants are short and of pone quality, it night he better 1,3 harvest the, seed only as in other grains. ln,stea•d o,1 pulling and vetting the ,straw. Again, if harvesting equip - Meet isnot a.vatiable, it iii often better to produce bossed flax rather +Ilion attempt to make line fibre Most off Canada's flax crap is ban vested for line fibre, the old method of hand pulling having been replac- el by modern flax pulling maobines. There are two methods of vetting flax, namely, dew -rotting ane water- retting. Alm,os't one hundred per cent of Canadian flax is dery-rotted, because it requires, a minimum of henelidng and' no costly equipment such as tanks and pumps. Dew -ret - ting consi,ebs simply of spreading the flax straw evenly on the ground and allowing the retting to be completed by Zero, and rain. The value of the flax fibre will largely depend on harvesting Inc crop ,at the proper stage of matur- ity, as already mentioned, and on securing a uniform well -rotted straw. The retting Process, is of such a nature that an inexperienced Penson should not attempt it, unless there la some one with the necessary knowledge to superintend the work.

General Rules For Feeding Young Pigs There are eight general rules for feeding young pigs: t_i Peed three times daily, (2) Never feed more t•haan, the pig will clean up; (3) Make all obeugee of rations slowly; (4) Realize that the breeding pig is an out-of-doors animal; (5) Approxi- mate outdoor conditions in the far - mowing and feeding pen; that is, supply fr'es'h air, light, drainage and, above all, avoid draughts and damp- ness; (6) Duke exercise a prime factor with every class and age of breeding pig. (7) Por economy and health, see that green feed, pasture, roots, and well-cus'ed roughage are part of the rations, particularly for breeding stook; (8) Remember that the pig Is. a poor patient and espec- ially difficult to treat. Strive to elintlinate the -causes of disease, rather than cure it. Farther information on the sub- ject will be found in the Wartime Production Special pamphlet, No. 0, "The Feeding of Swine,', and No, 34 "Prevention of ,Comanon Lessee in Young Pigs," which may be obtained by writing to Publicity and Exten- sion Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agrculture, Ottawa.

With physical fitness a requisite for all forms of war enterprise, it is doubly necessary that this year's tourist make the most.. of his leisure hours -a demand that Quebec is admirably suited to satisfy. At least three important fac- tors are swinging the wartime tourist index lit favor of Quebec. First, its proximity to large cen- tres of population, many being just an overnight journey by Canadian Pacific Railway lines; ieecondly,its wide variety of tour- ist attractions; and thirdly, the splendid accommodation provided by the Chateau Isrentenae, Que. bee's world fanned bottelry, In the city itself, the visitor can alternate his rambles through the historic Lower Town, the Plains of Abraham or Dufferin Terrace, with the present day diversions of golf, tennis, howl- ing, riding, dancing and other popular sporting and social activ- ities. For Quebec's uptown sec- tion is as modern and lively as its Lower Town is ancient and tranquil t The 300 -year-old city offers sight-seeing opportunities second to none on the North American Continent. Century -old cathedrals, monuments, convents,shrines, ramparts, and huddlerows of quaint dorniered dwellings unfold in colorful array as the tourist, seated atop a horse-drawn calh- ohe, rides through the narrow, winding suede of Lower To110n. w.t•�x,i4:,,. ., , It is nortii of the old walled city, however, where sportsmega and nature lovers find a rem paradise. Lovely Laurentides Park, 4,000 acres of mountain- ous woodlands, lakes, rivers an streams provide new thrills ill trout fishing, canoeing, switinaingi„' hiking, aid other joys of camp - life. Attractive log cabins, ton" - equipped, are available for visits ing tourists. Other nearby points of intele for Quebec visitors include the Shrine of Ste. Anne de Beauprei, ._ Montmorency Falls, Loretto Itit•- dian Reservation), Quebec Bridge,, .. the town of Levis, and the pie-• turesque Isle of Orleans, where spinning wheels still hum and tart "habiiant" way of lifo follows tib.,, the f,otrtmpu of Litt fathers. 5
