New Uses For Barley
til recently the use of barley
he farm was restricted to the
ing of live stock. In Germany,
ver, barley is used for' a mul-
e of purposes, Millions of
els yearly are -aged in the manu-
re of malt cofee. Besides this
ormous quantity of the grain is
in the manufacture of bread,
kfast foods, biscuits, infant and
lid preparations, tonics, condi
-
s and food preserves. In view
is, it would seem that barley is
ed to occupy a position of in-
ing importance in all farm to-
ns that may be devised with a

Celery King
Froma recent "announcement of
the Vegetable Growers' Association
of North America, it appears that
George Bycroft, who* resides near
London, Ont. is the "Celery King of
America." 1Vfr. Byeroft grows- the
tnew Paris Golden variety and his cel-
ery soil is a sandy loam watered by
-an overhead.•irrigation' system.. 'A
good coat of manure .' was plowed
down: in the spring and before the
plants were set out 2500 pounds to
the acre of 0--12-15 mixture was
broadcast and worked in. When the
plantswere a foot .high -they were
fide -dressed with Chilean nitrate, of.
soda at the rate of 150 pounds to the
acre,. This was repeated.two or three
times. By giving his plants an ad-
equate supply of plant food, Mr.
Bycroft was' able to secure the suc-
culent growth necessary in high
quality celery, . The plants were
breached by boarding the sides of the
rows. '
Poultry and Potatoes
Small, unmerchantable potatoes
may very profitably be fed ,to poul-
try. An experiment to compare
boiled potatoes -with cern meal in
the laying trash showed that the
potato -fed pens did even better than
when . corn meal was used. Each
group was fed a scratch mixture of
two parts of -cracked corn, two :parts
wheat, and one part oats. One group
received a dry mash containing equal
parts of corny,.. -meal, wheat bran,
wheat middlings, and crushed oats.
The other group received a moist
mash consisting s equal parts of
wheat bran, wheat middlings and.
crushed oats mixed with boiled pota-
toes. The proportion fed were two.
pints potatoes and ons part mash.
Each group received' charcoal grit,
milk, green feed and water. Both
egg production and hatching results
showed .1n advantage in,the case of
the potato -fed poultry.
jth the corning of winter, fire
ards on the faun are on the in-
ane. The tractor and the gasoline
Inc have also introduced a new
menace and care should be taken
their operation and storage. The
ring of gasoline and kerosine is
kindred subject and the proper
:ilities for both should be provided.

reason is that there are three Bagg

considered essential, therefore sires

Any elahorate'account of Canada's
part in the International Live Stock
Exposition at Chicago is rendered
prohibitive in -this column due to lack
of space. •ltowever, we believe that
Canadian farriers generally followed
with keen interest and pride the
daily newspaper reports of remark-
able victories scored by Canadians in
the =departments of field crops, live
stock, poultry and others.

cent International 'f,ive Stook Show

was prepared under the direction of
