• Count They Cost
Farm profits are small. They are
mited' by the selling price of pro-
tects and,
ro-ucts''and, perhaps to a greater ei-
ant, by the cost of production. The
elling iprice may be influenced by
troll his production costs. It is
much better to feed and milk five
cows 'which eaeh give a profit than
ten which pay costs only. To raise
crops cheaply there must be a high
yield. • The cost for the farm, oi-
per acre, or per cow does net tell
much. Comparison should be on a
ton, bushel or pound basis,
Curbing b 1ie n
Canni a t
Prof, WL R. Graham, head of the
Poultry department of O. A. C., has
a ,good suggestion for curbing the
frequent outbreaks of feather -pulling
and cannibalism' when pullets are
first put in confinement. Such an
outbreak occurred at the college plant
this fall. A, quantity of fresh raw,
blood was obtained frons the slaugh-
ter house and given the pullets'•as as
drink.. In..fi£teen minutes the appee'
tite had so abated that it was safe to
put back in the pen .the pullets that
had been previously attacked. One
gallon of blood was given to each 100'.

line using a number of different mashes, some containing ultimo' proteins
from one source only. We tested the hatchability from these pens taking

the trouble.
NViIntering Bees
"Experience bas shown that it is
better to winter' r
bees outdoors than
on
in the cellar unless'you„have an ex''
eeptionally''suitxable cellar," says F,
Eric Millen, ' Provincial Apiarist:
"Eighty per cent of the honey bees
in Ontario 'are wintered in various
wintering'cases outdoors, 'In Old
Ontario almost `every "beekeeper
winters outside, but' in Northern
Ontario cellars are used entensive-
1•v For successful collar' wintering,
the cellar must be absolutely dark,
dry and kept at an ,even tempera-
ture of about 45 degrees, Poorly in-
sulated and damp cellars make`poor,
winter storage places for bees,' "Wire.
tering bees outdoors mean's more ex-
pense, but unless 'one' ha an ideal cel-
lar, this method is recommended.
Bees can ;be packed; any time' in Oc-
tober or early November, and need' no
attention'ntil spring if properly -pre-
paned for winter. Outdoor wintered
bees' must be kept in waterproof
winter eases."

is 'being offered in prize mdney and
an additional section has been added
to the pri;e"list by which $100 has
been offered for yearling geldings:
.Previously ncr classification was pro-
vided 'for animals 'of this' age. • With
the exception of the yearling gelding'
class, ten prizes are -;offered in each

Shrinkage of Potatoes
Experiments conducted by the Di-
vision of Botany, Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture show that shrink-
age of pbtatoes while in storage can
be greatly lessened if correct storage
are followed. Por this

Meld of Seed Crops
A larger than usual acreage of
red clover has been cut' for seed in
Ontario, the yield per acre varying,
from 120 to 300 • pounds. It is be1iev-4
ed that there` may her from three to
four ]pillion pounds ' ofseed, w'hith
will constitute the largest red clover
seed crop in Old Ontario for many
gears„ The quality of 'the seed, is
reported good. The crop in`Northgrn
Ontario is practically __a •failure,,
his year.
Alsilce acreage in. Old Onttario"was
estimated 20 per cont,: larger.. than
in 1928 and yields Per acre -have var-
ied front •60 to 500 pounds,. low- yields
being' general in the southern and
lake -counties and high yields in the
clayc
country between Toronto and
Georgian Bay. In Northern' Ontario,
Temiskaming Distrist, the total pro-
duction of alsike is not expectedto
exceed 10,000 bushels, about half as
much as last year.
Alfalfa seed production' in Ontario
'was a aiii light in 1929. The eterea ge
g' U.
left for,seed'is'not believed to have
exceeded 10,000, > which , may yield
from 00 to 1.20 pounds per acre, about.
the same as in 1928. An abundance;
of sweet clover' for seeding 'purposes
is expected to be available next
spring. Tirnothy` seed production' in
Ontario is reported as normal, a large
proportion coming' from the Navan
district of Rldssoll'`County. Product-
ion of blue grass in' Southwestern On-
tario is estimated at 50 per cent, of
normal. The, seed is reported to be
particularly heavy per bushel this
year.

NO QUAIL SHOOTI a IN
ONTARIO THIS YEAR
No quail shooting will be permit-.
ted in Ontario this year, according
to an announeeineut made by Han..
Charles McCrea, minister ,of mines
and fisheries. Reports from those
sections of Western Ontario in
which birds are found indicate, Mr.
McCrea- stated,' that the interests
of conservation can, best be served
by n'ot opening a gunning season for
them. A. closed season on this bird
was legislated some years ago, but
the Government by orde}r'-in-council
can" establish periods of shooting
when, in its opinion, circumstances
warrant.

The Christmas tree business groves
'annually, Last year approximately
seven million trees were used in
North America, about a fifthtn.
of
which were used in Canada and
this year the business promises to be
larger than ever. Buyers frosn Uni-
ted States have been busy ho Canada
since early September and from.
New Brunswick alone about haif a
million 'trees will cross the border
to bring Canada's Christmas cheer to.
as many of our neighbor's homes.
The methods of handling Christ-
mas trees. varies, `•Some, buyers ar-
range to have trees' cut by the far -
mere or by inen :whom they may em-
ploy, Contracts are made for the
trees either on a stumpage basis
per piece or bunch or by purchases
of an 'urea supporting Christmas
tree stock outright, after being cut
by the' buyer.
The buyer looks only for trees of
perfect form and for that reason
trees grown on pas£urelands are
best suited for the purpose. Fie
trees and black .spruce are prefer-
red, White spruce , is not desirable
because of an pripleasant odor.
There is no fixed rate for trees.
This Varies considerably according
to the' size. Usually they are cut
and tied inbundles of 1 to 6, taken
to the station after trimmings for a
monetary consideration of . between
25 and 35 cents per bunch retailing
in the States for fifty cents to $2.00
each. Prom; this it would appear
that, as usual, the people -pay the
piper for the handling of the trees
from forest -:'to the consumer.' In
spite of low prices, however, the
New Brunswicker eonsiderA Christ-
mas tree business good businesl as it
gives him a .market for a farm pro-
duct that would othdrwise be unsale-
able. If left to grow to maturity,
those trees would not produce com-
mercial trees for any other indus-
try. A eat -lead of trees ,contains
from 2000 to 2500 trees, varying
frons five to fifteen feet in length
with an export value of $200 to $860
per carload. •
In United States the Christmas
tree industry demands are more and
more being met 'by plantations. ' The
first. plantations started nineteen
years ago. A great increase has
taken place, particularly in the past
six years, for example the New York
State College of Forestry started
twenty-six such plantations in 1926.
These contain about 2709 trees to
the
acre,After e eight to twelve
years, about 1200 can be removed
for the Christmas market, bringing
a ce en 'thr. stump of 25 to 30 .,
cents"prieach. With the expenses of
planting, interest and maintenance
tills method nets approximately:
8300 per acre ' and leaves a well
stocked forest plantation behind
which in another ,fifty years will be
readyfor pulpwood, 15 clear cut'the
same stand would yield about $750
per acre in sight or twelve years.
From the foregoing it would ap-
pear that the forest does not suffer
greatly from Christmas tree''busi-.
ness. Further, that this. business
pays and pays rather well for the
planter who got in on the ground
floor..
Forest fires this year destroyed
enough Christmas trees to keep
North America "supplied with trees
for centuries to come, With this'
in mind, why should we deprive the

this stage of forest management in

a son whatever.
why everyfamily should not have a
Christmas, tree, to gladdenthe hearts
of the little ones. For those who
would be more conservative, the
practice of using a live tree is re-
commended. After the festival sea-
son the tree can adorn the garden
and may if desired'be used for sev-
eral successive seasons.
There are, however, some persons,
still with us; who practice: wanton
waste' and even depredations at
Christmas .time, and to such a word
of mention. „
TO cut the top of a perfectly good
timber tree and leave the body to
rot in the bush is a criminal- waste
and unworthy of a self-respecting
citizen. To take a Christmas tree
from private property is plain theft
and a question of public morals that
should not be tolerated by any com-
• munity.
'Why not' select your tree from
pasture land or if selecting in the
bush, choose cedar• or balsam fir
which are prolific reproducers, the
utilization of which would do little
halm.
Plants that need Protection in Winter
(Experimental. Farms Note)
Among fruits, the strawberry is
the one which needs protection in
winter in most parts of Canada. It
is a shallow -footed plant -and it is
liable to be heaved by frost and the
:pots killed. A light covering of
straw, preferably marsh grass free
bf 'weed seeds, just before winter
sets in, is desirable to prevent this.
and has been found effective on the
Dominion Ezperimental Fauns, as
have the methods described for oth-
er plants helm
Grapes also need protection in
the colder parts of Canada where
grapes ripen, While vines inay not
be injured fry winter, buds start
into growth early in the spring, and
this can be prevented as the il
need, not be taken off until wa}'m .:
weather..ir spring.. -
Raspberries need ` protection also,
especially m colder districts where -
ender _either comes late or there is,
very little snow dining - the •winter,.
In extreme cases, such as some parts •
of the Prairie Provinces, the canes
should be entirely covered with.
snow While; in others bending down
the canes and hoklieg the tips; down.
with snow, will help ensure their be-
ing covered with snow early.
Hybrid Tea ,Roses, Hybrid Per et -
Y P
uais, and Climbing Roses should be
protected in all but the mildest parts
of Canada, Earthing 'up' ..the base '
to ,a height; of eight' or ten inches is
a good method, the tips' being bent
down and covered with soli. ,Another
good plan is to put an inverted.
wooden trough over the roses, and '
cover with strawy manure. Leaves
are good for protection also., For
Climbing Roses the inverted trough•
method, boxes filled with dry leaves,
or covering :with : heavy paper or -'
earth, all make good means of pro-
tection:
A light covering of strawy manure,- s
or leaves over the herbaceous bor-
der will help bring through -things
which would otherwise be killed.
Narcissus ' are much tenderer than •
Tulips and need some protection un-
der extreme -conditions without ear- •
ly 'and adequate snow ,protection.
