On this application its sire and dam'inust be recorded, also the date of service, date of birth and a of its colour markings in the case of such broken -coloured breeds as the r 1 i e A sunsGuernseysn 'sketch Y and Hol- steins. steins. If the sire of an animal at the time of service was owned by another breeder, then the latter'niusi sign a certificate of service. When the application for registration is filled out it is forwarded to the Rec- ord Office of the particular breed as- sociation, where it is carefully check- ed with the herd books.of the breed.' If everything is found correct as fat as the Record Office is able to judge, then 'a certificate of registration is issued for the onirnal', and its name and number recorded In the herd book of the breed to which it belongs.' Ii can be' seen from the above that in the final analysis the correctness of a pedigree depends upon the records, o=—"'Itse=e quality in the beef being marketed I and the integrity of the breeder•. and this in turn will help create af Of what value is a pure-bred bull? Swine, Improvement Program demand for more beef. From the foregoing' it can' he seen Simcoe County Live Stock Im- Wit* that to 'say a bull is pure-bred may prevenient Association has launche a Swine Improvement program fo New Year, a step which is in lin with the policy of bacon hog improv ement so strongly advocated by pro. vineial and federal agricultural auth orities with a veiw tq capturing share of the British bacon marke made available by the Imperial Con ference agreements. The immediat proposal is that the farmers dispose of their cull sows and replace them 'with sows •approved by the Depart- ment. The announcement has been made in this connection that the pro- vincial and federal goverments will share the burden of a $2 bonus to the farmer fee each sow exchanged. This should aid substantially in in- ducing farmers to participate in the program. cl Reforest Waste Land or o Rough land that is too hilly or ; rocky to he easily cultivated and also sandy can be used effectively only in _ the production of timber. a Early settlers cleared the woods t regardless of the value of the lands i underneath, and much of this should e be returned to forest, rather than be permitted to wash or to produce t scanty crops. The very small in-. vestment that is necessary for seed- e mean nothing more than that his an cestors are recorded to a herd book. He may be of good type, but of no particular breeding from a product- ion standpoint. Or he may be bred for production and not particularly for type. Experiments on the Dom- pion Experimental Farms have shown that profitable dairy herds can be graded up from unprofitable ones by he use of pure-bred sires. However, the sires used must be carefully sel- cted from good producing strains, and should be' of reasonably good type. The surest way however; of mproving a herd was found to be through the use of a proven sire—a • sire whose daughters' production has coven his value. �b - Winter Care of Live Stock With the coming of winter farmers should snake sure that the barns :M which their stock are to pass the cold months are clean and free from pos- sible infections diseases or parasites. Most progressive stockmen white- wash their stables at leac,t once a year, but frequent clustinn•5 with an old broom are needed to keep the cobwebs and dust down. Before the cattle leave the pastures for the sea- son, it is good practise to inspect the whole herd for possible skin diseases or parasitees. Such diseases as ring- worm, scab .or mange, lice or warbles • are clangorous and each needs special treatment. Ringworm is doubly dan- gerous because humans may contract it through handling or from curay- combs and brushes. Tincture of io- dine applied daily following washing with snap and water- will care ring- worm, but -scabies or mange need to be clipped in or sprayed with special solutions such as crude_ petroleum or equal parts of kerosene and cotton- seed oil,, which mixture is also res commended for lice. No animal can give its best milk production or put on flesh when feeding such parasites. Ontario at Grain Show At least 500 entries in the com- petitive classes will represent the in- dividual farmers of Ontario when tae World's Grain Show opens at Regina in 103, according to J. A. Carrol -of the Ontario Marketing Board. He states that Ontario exhibitors for the last three years have been growing carefully selected seeds for the pro- duction of suitable saniplei for this thaw. Ontario will also, be repress anted in the junior grain and seed ;judging competitions, The task of holding' the elimination contest in each county and the final selection of the judging team is in the hands of R S. Duncan, director of agricultural representatives. Clean up the Hen House Every hen house should be clean- ed before putting in the pullet crop, A good thorough cleaning consists of removing the litter and all poultry • house fixtures, such as mash hop - +a pees, drinking fountains and the like, then flushing the walls, ceiling, drop- ping boards and floor„ scraping loose, nay dirt that may have a tendency to stick. After the house has been thor- oughly cleaned it is ready for a coat of whitewash. This will improve the appearance of your hen house, make \it much lighter for the birds and at the same time help to kill parasites and disease germs. A common 'prac- tice is to add a pint of disinfectant - to a gallon of whitewash. Clean, comfortable quarters for the pullets go a long way toward increased pros • duction during the winter months. ' Market For Barley in Bacon andSed There is practically no limit to the production of barley in Canada and 'recent tests show' that it produces better bacon and beef than other grains. It is proving fully the equal of corn• when fed with suitable sup - kings, together with the plentiful supply of labor now available, makes this an ideal time for putting these 1 abandoned hillsides on a productive basis. p 4lC> - Alfalfa For Poultry Alfalfa in the green state has long been recognized as an ideal poultry .feed when used in conjuction with the usual grains and mashes. It - is used extensively es range or as cut green feed for birds in confinement during the spring, summer and. fall months in most alfalfa -growing areas, but tine value of the hay as a winter feed is not so generally known. So much of the year's suc- cess depends on the number and qual- ity of chicks hatched each spring, that it is important to do all possible to increase the fertility and hatch- ability of the eggs and the livability of the chicks. Experiments have shown that 20 per cent, better fertility and 0,4 per cent• better hatchability of fertile eggs can be obtained from birds where alfalfa hay instead of straw is used as litter in the breed- ing nens. The alfalfa should be used as litter during the winter months Preceding the breeding season and the same treatment given to males and females. • • C=7L"-tl Ontaro .Farmers Advised to See Own Stock Sold In the marketing of live stock whether by truck or rail, I non of the opinion that the farmer should see his own stock sold, wherever it is possible to do so," said Garnet Dun- can, live stock specialist, Ontario Marketing Board, "The experience he would gain by this contact," continued Mr. Duncan, might bring him to realize that spasmodic rushes of stock to market definitely depress prices, and only by personal supervision can lie expect full returns from any transaction. "Too many are satisfied to spend months of effort finishing an animal only to pass it over to some one else to sell ]tow and when he likes. I can- not co c nceiv e of success for anybus- iness iness oenclucted along this line. To- day economic conditions demand that a producer receive every cent possible from the sale of his stock. "To those wishing 'to buy these are also distinct advantages in visit. - Mg the market frequently. The far- mer would be able to choose the type he desires and estimate the time re- quired to finish. In buying stock to feed, finishing date should be kept in mind with the object of avoiding us- ually glutted markets." What is a Pure -Bred Bull? (Experimental Farms' Note) A pure-bred bull is one that is eligible for registration in the herd book of: the breed to which he be- longs. This means that his ances- tors are duly registered in a parti- cular herd book, add thus can be traced back to anima's that were imported. The imported animals in turn, have to be registered in the herd book of 'the foreign breed as- sociation. This, not true, of course of French''Canadion cattle, a breed that was originated in this country. I Am the World's Provider I ant the provider of all mankind, Upon me every human being con- stantly depends. A world itself is built upon my toil, my products, my honesty, the world: her prosperity is maintained by me; her great commerce is the work of my good hands; her "bal- ance of trade" springs from the fur- rows of my farm. My reaper brings food for today; .my plow holds promise for 'tomor- row. In war I am absolute; in peace I ant indispensible—my country's sur- est defence and constant reliance. I am the very soul of Canada, the hope of a Mee, the balance wheel of civilization. When I prosper, men are happy: when I fail, all the world suffers. I live with nature, walk in the grain fields under the golden sun- light out in the 'Great Alone where brain and brawn and toil supply to do any humble part to carry out mankind's primary need. And I try the great plan of God. Even the birds are my compan- one; they greet sue with a sym- phony at the new day's work and chum with me 'till the evening prayer is said. If it were not for me the treasur- ies of the earth would remain se- curely locked; the granaries would be useless frames; man himself would be doomed speedily to ex- tinction dr decay. Through nae is produced the cin- ergy that maintains the spark of life. I rise with the early • dawn and retire when the "chores" of the world are done.
