Turkeys in Winter
Breeding turkeys should not be
confined to houses during the wluv
ter months but allowed to roam at
will during the day, The only shel-
ter that is required for them at night
is a straw barn or closed -in shed,
They should not be kept in a draugh-
ty place, but any building that will
provide shelter from wind, rain, and
snow is quite suitable. Never house
turkeps with hens or in heated
houses, because colds which later de-
velop into roup are almost sure to
follow. During the winter months
the breeding turkeys should receive
only limited rations, as they have a
tendency to become over fat if well
fed. Hard grain should be given In
preference to mash or ground grains/
Equal parts of oats, wheat, and
buckwheat are quite suitable during
the cold months, but when the wea-
ther moderates in spring, the buck-
wheat should be discontinued. Once
daily during winter is often enough
to feed. and fresh water should be
provided at least once a day.
Well -Finished Beef Cattle
Win Never Stagnate Market
"Market stagnation, in my estima-
tion," said Garnet H. Duncan, live-
stock investigator, Ontario Market,
ing Board, "will never be caused by
well -finished cattle.
"en a survey of the Ieft-overs,
have found that the good type well -
finished stocker, weighing about 900
pounds, has been allowed to follow
the finished animal to the abbatotr,
when it should have been returned to
the feed lot. Too many in-betweens
are being taken bank to the farm.
These are often in rough condition,
ill-bred and, in many cases, ill -fed.
Many of them should never have
lived beyond the veal stage.
"With the good abbatoir, and the
in-betweens being returned to the
farm, it would seem that .it is mere-
ly a question of time before all
sales promotion efforts, of the past
twenty years, will be in vain. Stat-
istics show we are feeding about 40
per cent less cattle this year than
last, with supplies cleaning up ane

Hints for the Poultryman
In older to have puIIets laying at
their best in November and Decem-
ber, the months of high priced eggs,
the following points should be ob,
served according to the Dominion
Poultry Husbandman:
See that the pullets have dry and
bright quarters.
Have the houses clean and sani-
tary without draughts,
Give a well balanced ration and
be sure to give enough.
Don't. forget the green feed, pre-
ferably clover or alfalfa.
If you have milk give the pullets
what they will take.
Keep the Iaying pullets or those
that are near laying by themselves.
Give these every comfort and at-
tention—they are the money mak-
ers.
Your treatment of the pullets
now may mean profit or loss for
the rest of the year.
Dispose of hens too old or pullets
too young, it costs too much to feed
them.
The time of scarcity is the time
to arrange for your market for the
whole year.
Honey Industry Prospers
With honey prices good and still

are looking forward with more than
usual enthusiasm to their annual
convention which will be held at the
Xing Edward Hotel, Toronto, begin.
ning at 1.30 pan. on Tuesday, Nov,
28th, and continuing until Thursday,
Nov. 30,
It is felt by the officials of the
Ontario society, that if beekeepers
can give a little more attention to
careful and up-to-date methods, the
industry will find itself on a per-
manently sound basis. With this
in view, a program has been ar-
ranged for the annual convention
which should be of outstanding in-
terest and especially helpful to the
owners of a few colonies of bees.
Special attention is called to the
programme for Tuesday evening,
Nov. 28th, when there will be ad-
dresses by 'Colonel and Honorable
T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agricul,
tore, and Dr, G. I. Christie, Presi-
dent of the Ontario Agriculture'
College, followed by an illustrated
talk on ".Home Beautification" by
Professor A. H. Tomlinson of the
O. A. C.

Clover and Grass Seed
An official report on commercial
production of clover and grass seed
in Ontario shows that while the al-
sike acreage was slightly less than
in 1932 a higher yield per acre re-
sulted in perhaps a 10 per cent great-
er quantity of seed than in 1982.
The seed is slightly smaller than
usual but of good colour and plump.
It is also freer of weed seeds than
usual. The 1933 spring seeding of
alsike is reported as very unpromis-
ing.
n rers-
ing. in central and western Ontario
owing to the summer's prolonged
drought.
Second cut alfalfa seeded well this
year in many districtsso that a sub-
stantial quantity of good seed is in
sight. The quality of the seed is
good, being notably free from weed
seeds and foreign matter. Thus
there should be ample supplies of
alfalfa seed for domestic require-
ments this year. There will be more
red clover than last year, with most
of it concentrated in southwestern
Ontario. 'Sweet clover is a much be-
low normal crop in the province.
More than usual timothy seed is
reported in western and central. On-
tario, hut less than last year in the
eastern part of the province. In
western Ontario -,there was an -in-
crease of about 15 per cent. and is
yielding from 5 to 6 bushels per ac-
re., There is very little carryover
of timothy from last year. The blue
grass seed crop in 1933 was almost
a failure. •

INTEREST
CORN VS. BARLEY IN THE
LAYING RATION
(Experimental Farms Note)
The question of using homegrown
barley instead of the comperatively
high-priced corn for which the farm-
er and ,poultryman in 'Canada must
pay ready cash is an important, one.
The price of corn in some sections of,
the country places it almost .:beyond
the reach of the average poultryman
and makes its use in Large quanti,
ties almost prohibitive. On the oth-
er hand, the price of barley is Iow
and it is fot this reason that the
question of its substitution for 'corn
in the poultry ration is of great ec-
onomic importance.
In order to determine if barley is
a satisfactory substitute for corn in
the grain ration of laying pullets for
winter egg production, the Dominion
Experimental (Station, Lacombe, Al,
berta, conducted an experiment in
this connection during the last seven
years. Two groups of pullets of the
same age, strain and general devel-
opemeut were fed the same Way for
a period of six months each year,
from November to May, except that
in one pen both the scratch and mast -
'contained ,considerable corn, while
in the other pen the corn was left
out of the scratch and mash, bar-
ley and barley meal being substitut-
ed. The scratch feed was fed in the
litter, and the mash was fed dry in
a hopper and was always available.
The average results of these tests
show that in so far as the number of
eggs produced was concerned, there
was practically no difference betweer
the corn fed pen and the barley fed
pen over a period of seven years,
with a total of only seven eggs more
in favour of the barley. Over a
seven year period, however, bn ac-
count of the high cost of the corn
as compared with barley, the cost
per dozen of eggs produced was on
the average 2.3 cents in favour of
the barley fed pen. The results would
indicate that if the farmer or pout,
tryman has a supply of good quality
barley, it will not be necessary to
purchase high priced corn for egg
Production.
In feeding barley it should be re-
membered that it is lacking in Vita-
min A, while yellow corn is a good
source of this vitamin, In so far as
poultry is concerned a severe lack
of this vitamin has a tendency to
slow up growth in the young and tc
cause a deficiency disease known as
opthalmia (an eye disease) not um'
common to poultry. Fortunately, 'this
vitamin deficiency tan be overcome
by the use of cod liver oil, or alf-
alfa leaves, or surplus vegetables,
SNOW -MOULD TURF INJURY
(Experimental Farnis Note)
During the past three years, the
Dominion Laboratory of Plant Path.
ology at Edmonton, Alberta, hat
found that the most important single
factor of the cause of winter injury
to lawns or putting greens is due to
a parasite called snow -mould. The
symptoms are first recognized as
soon as the snow melte in the spring.
As Soon as the grass starts to grow.
dead areas are found in the turf,
which is sometimes covered with ar
aerial growth of the snow -mound
fungus. The fungus is often found
to be growing into and through the
snow and ice over the turf, This
fungus attacks the plants, killing the
leaves, stems and roots, thus destroy-
ing the crown of the plant. Such
plants do not usually recover, and,
thus, patches, somewhat circular in
outline, often coalescing and cover.
ing a large area, are found.
The organism causing snow -mould
has been isolated, inoculated into
healthy plants, re -isolated, and id-
entifed by plant pathologists in Eur.
ope and North America. Control of
snow -mould has been attempted le
different ways with varying degrees
of success. Obviously the provision
for adequate surface drainage, al-
though it /nay aid, will not alone
control the disease. The use of re,
eistant varieties of grass would be
ideal, but unfortunately there are
apparently no resistant varieties now
known.Mechanical attrition,or
brushing the turf, undoubtedly can
he utilized in reducing the damage
once it becomes evident that snow -
mould is present. However, tine
alone will not control the disease.
Removal of the snow from the turf
early in the spring, before melting
starts, is also helpful, but, unfor-
tunately, in some years when the
snow nearest the surface is frozen,
it is almost impossible to carry
this out without injuring the turf.
Therefore, about the only other al-
ternative is the use of fungicides os.
chemicals for killing the parasite,
but not the turf.
The 'Host promising method, which
has been successfully used by various
golf clubs, is that of using a pre
-
ventive treatment which can be ap-
plied
-plied the previous fall, and which
will serve ttr protect the turf througl•
out the late fall, winter, and early
spring. The treatment is as fol-
lows: Mix 3 ounces of calomel with
1 ounce of corrosive sublimate with,

PRICE SCORES THE REFUSAL
Ob' GATHERING IN TORONTO
TO SING NATIONAL ANTHEM
TORONTO, Nov. 13.—,Taking issue
with the refusal of a meeting to sing
the National Anthem, Hon. W. el,
Price, attorney -general of Ontario,
tonight told Ward Six Conservative
Associationto protest the action of
the anti-anthemites. Tom Mann,
British Communist, addressed a gath-
ening at Massey Hall on Sunday
and the gathering sang the "Red In-
ternationale" instead of "God Save
the King."
The attempt of certain factions,
present at the Mann meeting, to place
upon the cenotaph earlier in the day
a wreath bearing the inscription,
"They Died in Vain," was also scorer'
by the attorney -general, who charged
a wreath of that kind was really "a
desecration of the cenotaph that was
created by our people in memory of
those who fought and died for you
and me."
To refuse to sing the National An,
them, he said, was equivalent to re.
fusing loyalty to His Majesty the
Ring, the Union Jack and all the
laws of order and institutions of
freedom and justice for which the
flag and the empire over which it
waved represented.
Referring to liquor legislation, the
attorney -general admitted that while
the Ontario Liquor 'Control Act was
probably "the best in the Dominion
of Canada," the ;Governmen had to
keep abreast of changing sentiment
and conditions, and would undoubted-
ly—before
ndoubted-
ly before the next election— have
some new policy changes to which •
the electorate would be asked to give
its approval,
TAKING A WILD ANIMAL
CENSUS
One of the problems of wild ani-
mal conservation is that of taking
the census, no small task when one
considers that a game sanctuary like
Jasper National Park, Alberta, for
example, is 4,200 square miles in ex?
tent and contains many different
species. The census takers are usu-
ally wardens whose special duties
are to guard against fire, poaching
and other enemies of game conser-
vation. They are only able to take
