Thereis no doubt that considerable sugar is left in the residue but as this can be need asfeed for cattle it.cannet be con- sidered as being wasted. The Me- thod is quite simple and can easily be carried out in the house and is • as follows: (1) The beets are first washed, and the crowns out off at the lowest leaf scar, or lower, and the beets peeled, crowns and peelings being rejected. The beet is then sliced lengh= wise of the root and put through •a meat chopper. This ground pulp is put at once before oxidation takes place, into a piece of cheese cloth which has been tied over the top of a fairly large pot containing water. The pulp 'is then suspended in the cheese cloth \over the water but not touching it. An inch or so of water in the pot should be suffi- cient to start with. .Put on a tight lid and boil for half. an hour vigor- ously. After half hour's boiling wash pulp with warm water allowing this wash water to•run into the pot, using as little as 4ossible." Fill the cheese cloth bag with pulp two or three times using the same solution in the pot for steaming the second and third batches. Filter this weak sugar syrup through a, good cotton cloth and evaporate it to less than half its volume. Allow this to stain' overnight , so any solid matter that has come down during the evapera- tiro may settle out. In the morning pour this clear syrup off the solids) and boil , crown to consistency of manic syrup taking off any scum that comes, to the ton and being careful not to scorch or burn.

It is at once nature's ;choicest sweet and her most complete food; it contains' carbohydrates 'in the form of sugar of lime, iron, magnesium and potash,' and a certain amount of 'protein; all of which, are necessary for the nourishment of tire.body. Be- cause the sugars of honey are already inverted and directly available for assimilation it is a quick source of'en- ergy. It can 'be used as a sweeten- ing agent in practically every ' in- stance where cane sugar and cheap- er syrups are used. a Protein in Rations The importance of protein in live- stock rations and their production on the farm was a topic recently discus- sed by J. C. Steckley, professor . of Animal Husbandry at the O.A.C. Le- gume hay was mentioned as an im- portant ingredient in a protein -rich raticn and of ocurse such byproducts as cottonseed meal and linseed oil meal were mentioned as very .useful ingredients. Prof. Steckley declared that soybean meal was proving to be a very useful and rich protein ingre- dient. It carries about 35 per cent. protein and for dairy cows particular- ly it can be utilized apparently up to 20 per cent of the ration. He con- demned it, however, as a feed for hogs. 'Ground sweet clover seed had also proved to be of some use as a protein ingredient, but it is not highly palatible and can be fed only spar- ingly. Oatviessats The Apple • Maggot The apple maggot as a menace to the industry was thoroughly discus- sed at the 73rd annual meeting of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Associa- tion. Prof. L. Caesar, provincial en- tomologist, stated that an orchard survey had shown every part of the province infested with the maggot. Ire attributed to weather conditions the increase in the last two years. Prof. Caesar explained control me- thods in detail and said that if grow- ers had known in advance what wea- ther conditions would be like, they would have controlled the pest at least '75 per cent. W: A. Ross of the Dominion laboratory at Vineland dis- cussed a system of orchard certifica- • tion under which inspectors would pronounce growers' orchards and ap- ples free from the pest and thus make them more available for • export. Or- chard certification would involve thorough spraying, ,destruction iof wild apple trees and hawthorns, and some arrangement with owners of nearby orchards in order to remove that source of infestation. • Increasing Consumer Demand For Govcrnittent Grad"'d 33eef A report to the Department re- veals that consumer -demand for gov- ernment graded beef, has been felt in still another quarter. Another evidence of this consum- er preference is the fact that, in the Dominion, some twenty per cent more graded beef was sold last year, than in 1931. The estimates for sales in 1932 were approximately 21,748,768 pounds, as cornpared with 17,947,275 pounds for the previous year. of Agriculture English; proficiency in mathematics; • sufficient commercial training so as. to successfully carry on his business; practical training, " obtained lora the farm; a ,study of agricultural sci- ence, including chemistry, physics botany, entomology, bacteriology, and a thorough knowledge of the snore practical subjects,such as horticul- ture, field crops, live stock, mechan- ics; and a practical working know- ledge of economics and civics. for the young woman whose future hap- piness appiness will be found on the farm he suggested special training in cultural subjects, and in the work of the home such as cooking, sewing, management and hygiene. Knowledge is as neces- sary to success in farming as in any other line of business. The Western Western Market At the annual meeting of the On- tario Vegetable Growers in Toronto considerable progress was reported in opening up the Western market to Ontario vegetables. According to W. B. Somerset, chairman sof the Ontarie Marketing Board, Westerners were amazed at the quality and quantity of vegetables that could be grown in Ontario and declared that if they could get them regularly there would be no need for importing. Continuity of supply, better packing and above all earliness were points emphasized by II. E. Toms, Western representa- tive of tine Ontario Growers' Market Council. • He.pointed out that there was a good market for early cabbage possibly beets and carrots, a splendid demand for early tomatoes, properly packed in lug crates and carefully graded in a central warehouse, ample room for melons in modern packages but not the old 16 -quart baskets, as well as solid -headed Iceberg lettuce and celery. In quality the best of Ontario stuff was superior to the im- ported variety, though seine of it did not look as well. Westerners Were satisfied if they could get the right kind at the right time. Mr. Toms warned the growers, however, that, unless the outlet could be supplied regularly and with good 'stuff, the greater portion of the Western mar- ket would be closed to Ontario. System Proves Efficient The Restricted Areas system of tuberculosis control is not only prov- ing efficient but stockmen appreciate the many advantages of this plan of control for tuberculosis. s s. Tho cattle in areas can be tested quickly and ec- onomically. Reactors can be shipped in car lots with greater returns to the farmer. All herds are tested o that breeding operations are facilitated, The services of valuable herd sires can be used in herds of equal health standing., A ready market is estab- lished and buyers prefe-• to purchase cattle in areas where tuberculosis - free cattle may be obtained more quickly and at less travelling cost. During the past fiscal year 117,- 742 cattle have been tested for the first time in new areas and approxi- uateiy 321,427 cattle have been re- tested in areas previously established, c®C_ ., The Farmer's Education An outstanding Canadian authority, discussing farming as a vocation re- cently, included among the essential Subjects in the educational prepara- tion for farm work, the following: A thorough training in the use of da::itEs Warble Fly Campaign All the cattle on Manitoulin Island, nearly 20,000 head, will be treated for warble fly this spring. Following the striking success secured with a new powder on Barrie Island, where infestation was reduced over 80 per cent last spring, favorers decided to go ahead with the larger project. The work will be carried out under the direction of Dr. Lionel Stevenson, pro- vincial zoologist and R. E. Cumming, district agricultural representative. and the special powder will be sup- plied by the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, As was the case on Barrie Island a year ago, four treatments, three weeks apart and starting in early March, will be given. The powder is dissolved at the rate of one pound per gallon of water and this wash rubbed thoroughly into the backs of the in- fected animals. Even where only confined in large box stalls the work takes butte few Minutes and the cost amounts to less than five cents per head. While authorities advise con- tinuing the work for three successive years for complete elimination, al- ready after one season marked gains are reported from Barrie Island. There was practically no stampeding of the cattle in summer when the flies' generally cause the most troublei and the animals were in much bet- ter flesh than usual. In Canada the warble fly is re- sponsible 'for thousands of dollars direct loss to hides alone every year, while the indirect damage in loss of flesh and milk flow cannot be esti- mated. I - I HOME MADE SYRUP FROM SUGAR BEETS, (Experimental Farms Note.) Owing g to the ninny inqpiries es bei n g received from farmers who wish to make an edible (table) syrup from sugar beets the Division of .Chemis- try at the Experimental Farm; Ot- tawa has been making further ex- periments to ascertain the possibili- ties of making a • palatable whole- some and good appearing syrup' for home use. The trouble experienced in the past has been to get ,a syrup that was not black in colour and did not have a, disagreeable aftertaste. This black colour and disagreeable taste was no.doubt due to tire mineral salts. and some of the many organic sub - HOG SHIPMENTS Report of Hog Marketing's for the month ending, January 31st, 19933: Auburn—Total hogs, 391; select bacon, 99; bacon, 247; butchers, 36; heavies, 6; lights and feeders, 2.

The Loyalists, who land- ed at Saint John from the revolting colonies to the south, along with oth- er Loyalists who settled in other parts of Canada, have played a great part in shaping the destinies of the Dominion. Composed of some of the 1 best society'ot the American colonies,' they brought with [hem. Ueir love of learning and adherence to traditions of respect for law and order.

MOTORS AND TRUCKS STILL TAKE A GAMBLER'S CHANCE Notwithstanding efforts of the strong to protect the weak, the weak still persist in taking' a gambler's chance in beating out the stronger In other words, despite warnings and plea's,' drivers of automobiles and trucks continue to attempt to push locomotives and trains off the tracks at crossings. Usually the automobile or truck comes off second best, and outside of property damage caused, there were 37 lives lost and 170 per- meats in service and earnings under sons "injm•od in highway crossing accidents on the Canadian National' Railways during 3.932, according to accident figures recently made a- vailable. The number of automotive vehicles striking trains in 1932 was 107; and in cases where trainsstruck automobiles or trucks, the number was 147. While there has been a progressive decrease in these classes of accidents the ratio of automobiles striking trains has not kept pace withtheimprovements shown, in oth- er classes of highwaycrossing, acci- dents.
