I PrOpriethr. Addriee communications to Aprotto LAMB MARKET NOW 114 STATE Or RADICAL CGANTGE. In the new conditions of the Can- adian /narket there is 110 place for the buck lamb, Seventy per cent, cif the male lairobs that come to the Toronto market are bucks.Thi e in the past hag had the effect 82 discouraging the eating of lamb by home consumers. Farmers alonq can remedy this. They can d so by the aimple process a calitratin and clocking mele lambe. If they fall there is not the slightest doubt that there will be a glut of buck lambs in the fall of 1.928 with u serious break in prices, The causes that have brought about the radically ehanged conditions are not hard to follow. It will pay pro- ducers to understand there, After the first of August all buck lambs develop an odor and a strong taste. When- consumers get this meat served up the appetite for lamb is lost and' consumption generally is greatly disequraged, This fact seri- ously infieences 'the average price paid to farmers for live lambs. During the past few years a new situation has arisen which will tint- doubtecily further 'affect ;the buck lamb. Many farmers, especially in Western Canada; have taken to feed- ing lambs for the winter market., The slaughtering of Iarnbe at inePected packing planta • in ;the first -three months of this year were 28,150 as against 13,000 in the first quarter of 1922, The result is thet fall lambs, which used to be stored to supply a winter retail trade'aro no longer needed so largely Buyers state thy must henceforth refuse to take the risk of buying large numbers of Iambs and Putting them into storage as they cannot compete with lambs that have been grain -fattened corning on the market in the fresh state during the winter. • The great bulk of Ontario lambs are fit and come to market during September, October arid November. Except for those that are unfinished that is as it should be; most Ontario ae Adla(d U, West, Toronto lainlo. Would tie tod heavy If held longer and fed, For ewe lambe and the few,wether iambs thot offer a very considerable export trade line been built up, and there is a groWing dee mend for this prime stuff ia the United States: Canadian lambs of this quality hold their own in the An14' erican marlcht, and often indeed sell ft,t a' premium. But the Surplus litis largely, been cold stored and used in the domestic market for the winter trade, This prevented the farmer's price front being smashed' to pieces every fall during the big run, and supplied the retail trade when lamb was scarce, To -day with the advent of the Canadian grain -finished winter lamb, the demand for this stored pro, duct has fallen off. Buying firms will no longer be able to take the risk of putting these, Iambs into storage. Furthermore, in the interests of in- creased consumption, at home, it is better all round business to supply the consuming Inarket with fresh lamb 'frptri evves and wethers of good ,qual- ity anci appetizing taste, Verniers and buyers alike are fac- ing a serious problem in working out what 18 to be done with the great rush of lambs in the fall. It may be faced 'with confidence if all lambs are dock- ed, properly finished and marketed at the right weights, and if the male lambs are castrated. . There appears to be no reason why the export trade in Ontario lambs should not. be fur- ther extended so ae to take care of all the fall_ surplus. • But it certainly cannot be done with buck lambs, The indications are that very 'noel' larger numbers of winter fed iambs will be an the market next year. Packers can no longer afford to take bueks at the sante price as ewe and wether lambs and unless other outlete are found, bucks will be heavily dis- counted;.in price in the fall of 1923. This is the timely Beason for farm- ers to take action. 'Proper treatment now „will avoid serious loss next fall. Afterlds plain intimation, front those who know the meat trade, fariners alone will be to blame, if they lose heaVily by their own neglect. Walnut Investment It Pays to Plant Walnuts and Wait Fifty, Years. No Better Legaby for.the Farm Lad—The:Government Foreetry Branch Will Assist—Tree-Growing • Re tcuntes Little Labor—Black Walnut trees are Memorials. "Say, Mr.., -Forester, if a wee boy of my age were to plant all acre of black walnut this spring would I live to see the -,trees large enough to be used for the building of a house to shelter me in my old age'?" "Yes, my boy, you could plant the times to -day, and in fifty years time the trees would be large enough to eut into interior finishing lumber for your house." There is some satiefac- tion in planting 4 tree and watching it grow to merchantable size. " wAaNter TRES GROWS FOR. MANY YEARS. -- Itis true that a walnut tree will keep growing long after it has passed the half -century mark "and keeps on making tiinher until it is one hundred and fifty years old. However, a nice, tree can.be grown in fifty years on' good soil; yes, large ,enough to make all the finishing lumber for the inter" - her of a house, Ten acres of Sand planted under sane forestry methods with 'walnut will make, in tinae, a fine. tract of 'valuable timber,' which When ready to harvest, would at present prices be worth $1,000 per acre. _ NO BETTER LEGACY- COM)? BD 0E04 YOU. A man could leave no better -legacy for his heirs than a block .02 good timber. The nthig tine between seed - time and -harvest in forestry frightens the average rriertal, arid deters him from ,planting -forest trees. But peo- plewhould not take the icing time vigil, seriously. Generations of humans are yet to be borirto live in this conntry and since the present generation hee largely destroyed- the original timber, it is only just -and eair that we -should provide for the wood and lumber re- quirements of the future. - On nearly every farm there is some aveste land or the remnant of a wood lot, It may • be odd, rough spots or sandy hills, areas that have not produced profit- able,grain or grass crops and which could well be used foe the growing of wood. , , THE GOVERNMSNT FOREST BRANCH WILL The Forestry Branch of the Lands -mid Forests Department are co-, operating with four hundred Ontario farmers in which the Forestry offi- cials -Cry to point the way to succese in wood lot management. As a result of such co-operation,, many walnut, green ash, and red oale seedlings have been given a start toward useful pro- duction. A small .seed will grow into a big tree.- Nature does all the work; man simply plants the seed or the little seedling, tree and waits, • The young forest is established by plant- ing a tree every six feet, crowding the trees together to -force them to grow tall, straight stems. As the crowding becomes too great for thrift, alter- nate trees are taken out. These thin - mugs can be used as fence poles, rails, gate material, small lumber, such as chair and table-leg‘s, lamp stands, cur- tain poles, etc. So there is if source of revenue after the trees have been planted twenty years that will take care of the overhead expenses inci- dental to maintenance. ° VERY LITTLE LABOR REQUIRED IN TRES-GRdwiNG. With the farm labor situation never satisfactory, and many fanners try- ing th crop twice as much land as they can handle properly, forest planting should show :the way out. If the peo- ple of Ontario are to use wood in the house -building of the future, if eve are tohavefuel for the hearth, a lot of land owners -must do some forest planting very soon.—L. Stevenson, Secy. Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto.

Tho egg within the body' of...the hen Might 'just as well -have been in an incubator, Ordinarily,, however, the fresh egg has been evithirathe bedy netmore than twenty hours and the embryotic development has not been sufficient to -injure the quality of the egg. If all eggs could he consumed -within O few daYs after they are laid, quality would not be a factor, but usually they are held around the farm for a week, then around the store for a week, and finally the censurner holds some for another week before he fin ally uses tbern. What has happened to the egg during these three, weeks? In the spring and SIIIIIMer the tem. perature is usually well above 65 deg. E. Fertile eggs above that temper_ ature incubate, and that is just what spoils the egg. 'THREE RULES 110 OBSERVE. If one wants to produee eggs of quality there are just three rules to follow: 1. Kill off, all the 'roosters as soon as hatching season is over, there- by producing only infertile eggs. 2. Collect all eggs twice a day—once be- fore dinner, as most of the eggs are laid inhthe morning, and Once' again in the late afternoon, 3. Keep the eggs in a cool cellar or cave where the tem- perature is under 65 deg. F. Be sure the place isnot misty, however, bo - cause an egg Will take up odors as quickly as milk. •- If one follows the above three sug- gestions he will produce eggs that will be a credit to him and will at thewame time give satisfactioo to themonsumer. The additional profit from eggs thus produced will be particularly notice : - able to the man who retails his own eggs, because good ones are harder to g,et in summer than elle, othee time. To Control Apple Scab. To thoroughly control apple scab, it is regarded by M. B. Davis, Chief Assistant to the -Dominion Horticul- turist, as necessary to make at least floe sprayings. In a favorable season fewer applications may answer, but one never knows in ee 'ng what the season will be like, (n Bulletin No. 18 of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, entitled "Modern -Orchard Practiee," it Is said to be necessary to keep the foliage of the trees covered with spray. material from the eaely part. of the seasomantil late in sum- mer. Lime -sulphur wash and Bor- deaux mixture are both -good fungi- cides and will control 'apple scab if properly used. -The impoetance of the early speays as an insurance against Toss of crop, it is claimed, has been neglected and overlooked too much in the past. Not only does the apple scab cause a loss to the grower by impairing,. the value of the fruit it infests, but it actually destroys a large percentage of his crop before he,realiaes that It has set. It is the gar' siiPaei that save the Crop: Some growers delay spraying until after the frat is supposed, to haVe sete for they claim it is to use to spray ,if one has no'crop to spray for.

High grade ewes, the get of Oxford Down pure bred rams, were divided equally into three lote in respect to age and quolity, end were bred to • Oxford Desee, 'Suffolk and Shropshire ,rains respectively. The lambs sired by each ram were weighed in the fall and records kept of their weight 137 hi annual report. the Superintendent of the Farm notes that the Suffolk gave uniformly the heaviest lambs in the fall, and that these lembs were well developed, ineaty fellows which sold readily. On the other hand,there were fewer of them than by the the rains, 'so that their high ' average weight was partly' due to the -rad that, there being fewer twins, .the lambs were better nourished. he get of the Shropshires were • distinctly smaller than those from the ther two sires. The lambs sired by the Oxford Downe were on the average as grow, thy as those sired by the Suffolk, or inoTe 'so, but were less matured at the time of weighing up and requieed moTe feeding to make market lambs of them, During the last year of the experi- ment," weights were kept of the yield of fleece from the different grades. Eight Shropshire grade lambs yielded an average of 6.83 lbs.; 6 Oxford grade: Iambs yielded 6.50 lbs.; and 7 Suffolk grade lambs, 5,56 lbs., It will be noted, remarks the Superintendent, that the Suffolk -cross, Which were the heaviest lambs in the fall, yielded ft pound, and a pound and a half, less fleece than the 'Oxford Down and Shropshire respectively. ,The Super- intendent further points out that in Ouch tests as this the individuality of the rams used enters into the results and that it is not safe to lay to the I credit or demerit of a breed what may be due to the one individual only. Th -results are given with this reserva- tion, However, an effort was made to havethe rams as nearly equal as possible, HE CI-111.41)REN, HOUR TO TH17 VIOLET.
