V Jersey Breeders Meet The attendance at the Jersey cattle breeders' meeting was quite small last Thursday evening due to the severity of the storm, and instead of the pro- gram of addresses and moving pic- tures as arranged, the guest speak- ers, James Bremner, secretary of the Jersey Cattle Breeders Club, Toron- to, and Dr. ,Charles Cook, Jersey field - man, . conducted a fireside talk and discussion. The mee`bing was held in the Town Hall, Clinton, and among the promin- ent cattlemen present were Hugh Hill, Colborne, and Willis VanEg- mond, Clinton. Interesting informa- tion concerning Jersey Cattle clubs in Ontario was imparted, such as the free gift of 200 pure bred bulls to Quebec breeders by Ontario clubs; and the fact that upwards of 500 produc- ers in Southern Ontario are selling milk bearing a registered Jersey trade mark. Clubs are established or being formed in most Ontario counties. One of the objects of the meeting here was to form a club for the twenty-five or more Jersey breed- ers in Huron. It is understood that another meeting will lie called at a later date, _V Merchants Seek Women's Cooperation Western Ontario women with mem- bership in the Women's Regional Ad- visory Committee to the Consumer branch, Wartime Prices and Trade (Board, figure prominently in the re- sponse Canadian women have made to the recent appeal from Canadian grocers for assistancein carrying on under wartime conditions. Greater thoughtfuilness is urged by Mrs. J. D. Detwiler, regional chairman, who has asked women to avoid shopping during rush or peak periods ofthe clay and week. Pay cash, she advises and buy carefully Don't ask for any service not absol- utely needed and this means minimmn of wrapping paper and less use of delivery services. Meal planning around foods in plentiful supply, the regional chair- man reminded, would go a long way toward easing the strain on the mer- chant with his innumerable wartime problems. v Ice Deliveries "Hit the Skids" Deliveries of ice have been restrict- ed by the Wartime Prices. and Trade Board. An order, limiting deliver- ies to private residences to three a week has been made public by W. Harold McPhililps, prices and supply representive in the Western Ontario Region, who pointed out that hotels and commercial establishments would get one delivery a day. Designed to save gasoline, rubber, mechanical equipment and manpower Mr McPhillips said that after Dec- ember 28 no distributor could use an automotive `vehicle to deliver ice un- less the output each week was at Ie-• est 21,000 , pounds. Horse drawn vehicles, must deliver 15,000 pounds. Distributors with 'two, horse drawn vehicles or not more than one horse drawn vehicle and one truck or just a truck are exempted. Bayfield Nurse I . Offers Services Miss Doris Featherston •of Hay- field, graduate of Grace hospital, To- ronto has offered her service to help combat the epidemics of flu, measles and pneumonia that has claimed more than a store of lives in northern Bri- tish Columbia, at Telegraph Creek. Miss Featherston has offered her services in answer to an` appeal to Federal and provincial- authorities for medical and nursing aid from Tele- graph' Creek, a northern B. C. trading post, which, for the past two months, has been fighting a series of diseases which have taken toll of Indians and whites alike. Miss Featherston has had consid- erable experience on the .staff of three different hospitals. After grad- uating in 1939 from Grace. Hospital Toronto, she became a member of its staff and has also been on the staffs of Bethesda, London and Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto. Winter Care of Breeding Ewes (Experimental Farm News) The care and attention given the breeding flock during the winter months may well determine the suc- cess of the coming lamb crop, states S. A. Hilton, Senior Assistant, Do- minion Experimental Farm, Nappan N S. Ewes that have been "flushed" dur- ing the 'breeding season, and are in good flesh, may be carried on hay and turnips or silage until a month or so before lambing, providing the hay is early -cut 'clover or alfalfa and of good quality. If grass hay or Late -cut hay as fed, a• light grain ration is necessary to insure the ewes being in good conditipn at lambing. Like the dairy cow, the condition at 'freshening governs to a great extent the suc- ceeding milk flow. Regardless of the other feeds available, a mineral mix- tore should be kept before the flock at all times. Turnips should always be clean and free from decay. Frozen turnips or silage should 'never be fed. For pregnant ewes, not more than 4 pounds daily per•ewe should be given to large ewes or 3 pounds to those of the smaller breeds. During the last month of pregnancy, reduce the suc- culent feed to b 1-2 to 2 pounds daily and start feeding, a light grain mix- ture, (1-4 pound 'aily, or more if the ewes are thin). After lambing gradu- ally increase the,rotesto 5 pounds or more daily, and the grain ,to 1 1-2 to 2 pounds, depending upon the percen- tage of twin lambs born. Fresh, clean water should be avail able to the flock, Do not depend ,on snow as a water' supply. If the lamb crop isnot arriving until late March or• April, treat the flock with phen- othiazine tablets; two weeks or so previous to the first date of lambing. If winter lambs are expected, • post- pone the treatment until the lambs are a week or mere old, but treat be- fore the heavy freezing weather is over • Buildings for sheep should' be well ventilated and free front draughts, For winter er early spring lambs,,pro- vide ere' or•more'wprm lambing pens. Arrange for he flolc to have regu- lar exercise.. This may be done by feed ing'the hay at a distance from the barn. Close observation of the flock is _ essential .at all times, especially during the lambing season. Canada needs every •lamb that' can be raised in 1943,and every: lamb saved means increased labour returns. For details regarding, grain mix- tures, and other information, con- sult your nearest experimental farm or agricultural college.

In connection with this new war drive, Mrs. Phyllis Turner, Oils and Fats Administrator, declared that .to- day Canada faces a -serious shortage of fats and oils for war industries, and needs a minimum .through, sal- vaged fats and bones, 35,000,000 pounds of fat a year, or, reduced to per capita figures, about one ounce of fat per person per week. This is not just another brief cam- paign, with a spurt to be put on for a few days or weeks and then dropp- ed, the Salvage Director emphasizes. The campaign must be sustained, right across Canada, in every household, hotel and restaurant from day to day for the duration of the war. Housewives are the key people in this 'collection. They are asked to take waste fats and bones to their meat dealer. In any community where a fats and bones collection system is already in operation, either through municpial collection or sponsored by a local voluntary salvage committee, housewives can continue to dispose of fats and bones through such a system, The Canadian meat `dealers, as their contributian, have undertaken to accept salvaged fats and bones at their stores, and to see that they are for. warded to the renderers and meat packers of the recovery of vital glyce- rine for explosives and other mater_ ials essential for war industries. Ren- derers and packers likewise have pro- mised their co-operation in making the camapign a success. Every ounce of •dripping, every morsel .of scrap fat, every bone, green or dry, must be saved. • V erican continent since 1926.
