However, if the hen is to be Used for incubation, see that she gets a fair chance. Set several at e time in clean nests, preferably in a separate room or colony house. See that they are free from lice, put feed and water in the pens, and give thein well selected eggs. By testing out the unfertile eggs it may be possible to transfer the remainder from three hens to two and return the third to the laying quartets. When the deck:. are hatched it may be that one hen can take care of them all. Keep the mother and her brood away from the rest of the flock, in. a sanitary coop, on clean ground. eeeelesses Cleaning and Grading Fibre Flax Seed For Export When cleaning the fibre flax seed for export the greatest care should be taken to see that the seed is not only cleaned up to standard grade but is entirely free from noxious weed seeds. The elimination of bro- ken, shrunken and darkened seeds greatly increases the germination percentage and improves the appear- ance so that a much better price it received on the export market. teM49131:001 Ontario Pastures !Over twenty-three per cent., or one acre out of every four of the im- proved lands in Ontario, is in pas, ture, says Prof. N. J. Thomas of 0. A.C. The estimated total returns on pasture in the form of live stock and their products from the month of june to October is approximately $40,000,000. Of this, 084,000,000 is derived from dairy produce. R,esults of experiments have shown that by proper management and improving the fertility of the soil, returns can be increased from 100 to 200 per cent .on a very large proportion of pastures. Abortion In Cattle It is possible .that some farmers are having trouble about this season with cases of bovine infectious ober- tion in their herds. If so they Should write to the Health of Aniinale • Branch, Department of Agriculture Ottawa, for Bulletin No. 150, S. on this subject, which gives the lat- est information regarding the disease and offers the assistance of the De- partment in its eradication. All Dominion Experimental Farm herds are now practically free of this dread disease and ,allied troubles as a result.of the application of the blood test and isolation or eliminatioe easeelles. Hog Producers Organize Representative swine raisers from all Ontario counties west of Lennox and Addington Met in Toronto re- cently and undertook the formation of an Ontario Swine Producers' As, sociation. Officials state the organ- ization is purely for the benefit of hog raisers themselves and the or,. ganization will be entirely in the hands of the farmers. Aims of the association are to encourage the production of high quality market hogs, to endeavor to stabiize production and marketing throughout the year and over periods of years and to promote better mar- keting conditions. Mr. W. P. Watson, Livestock Branch, has been loaned to the aao- elation to do organization work. It is planned to hold meetings in each hog producing county for the purpose of forming Iocal associations. 40,111Ceeeeee. Re-organite Cheese Production Announcement has recently been made by Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minis- ter of Agriculture for Ontario, that a general Ontario Cheese Factory Patrons' Association is now being formed which "promises to restore our cheese exports and largely in- crease domestic: consumption and production." • Mr. Kennedy said that the new organization has the support of the Government, which will aid it finan- cially in its early stages, The move, inent, he added, would be backed by the whole energy of the Ontario Mar- keting Board and the Dairy Branch of the Department. Central offices of the association he said, would be established in Belle- ville. Ile declared that abouts20 On- tario counties have committed them selves to the scheme. Oecefereeed Feeding Opportunity According to A. A. MacMillan, Dominion Live Stock Branch, there is an excellent opportunity for groups of farmers in the vicinity of Torohto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winni- peg, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert, Calgary and Edmon, ton, if they could be interested in lamb feeding. At these points a supply of feeder lambs is readily available each year. If groups of farmers undertook lamb feeding, the freight from stockyarcj or abattoir to the feed lot would be reduced. The making up of carloads of finished lambs would be easy, and each group of farmers would benefit by the experiehce of neighbors. Thousands of sheep raisers, in both eastern and western Canada, •could increase returns from lambs by re, sorting to careful selection at wean4 ing time, marketing only those that are finished and of desirable weight, and putting the balance into the feed lot for a Short-term feeding period, Ventilating the Poultry House The importance of fresh air for the poultry flock is seldom given the attention that so vital a factor de- mands. Good stock, with the best of feed, cannot respond to full ad- vantage if deprived of this essential dement. Protection from wind and storm is necessary but, as a disease preventse tive, for the promotion of health and vitality and an incentive to high egg production, pure air in the hen -house is as important as any other factor. It has been estimated by compete ent authorities thet, due to their rap- id breathing, hens require almost four times as much fresh air as cat- tle, weight for weight, and that one hundred hens will give off in breath and droppings about three gallons of water every twenty-four hours. It will readily be seen that to provide sufficient fresh air without draught and also to dispose of the excessive moisture in a pen, is a problem that requires careful consideration. The laying house at the Dominion Experimental Station, Harrow, is 20 by 100 feet and will accommodate 500 birds. The ventilation system consists of cotton screens on the front with slatted ceiling and straw loft. This house has proved satis- factory under most conditions when advantage has been taken of every ;opportunity to supply the maximum of sunlight and fresh air by opening the screens. Na system of ventil- ation for a poultry house has yet been devised that is "fol -proof; the ceosetasee The Contre of Redroot Pigweed. The familiar Redroot Pigweed which is so often found to be thriv- ing in waste places around farm buildings and in gardens is a -weed which may easily be kept under con-, trol if the proper measures are tak- en. Since it is a sturdy growing plant, crop yields will be considerab- ly reduced when it becomes estabish- ed in fields to any great extent. The most effective method of on. trol is to cultivate the ground con- taining pigweed late into the fall, thus keeping down the growth of this weed, The use of hoed crops and by means of cutting off the young plants by hoeing will have a great influence in ridding fields of this pest. In fact, any measures which are taken to prevent the plant mat. uring seed, particularly in the fall, will help to rid the farm of this troublesome weed. New Forage Plant Introductions (Experimental Farms Nate) It is an interesting fact that near- ly all of our most valued forage crop plants have come from Foreign lands. Many of these, were brought to America a long time ago by the very early settlers, while others, such as bruin grass and crested wheat grass have been introduced in comparatively recent times. In every part of the world an in- tensive search is being carried on for new kinds of hay and pasture plants which can be grown successfully un- der special soil and climatic condi- tions. It is of great hnportance that these new crops should be brought to this country and tested under the various conditions which are to be found here. This is being done by the Division of Forage Crops, Da minion Experimental Farm at Ot- tawa. When anything shows signs of promise, it is tested on Experi- mental FerMS throughout the Do- minion. In recent years the number of plant introduetions have been large. As would be expected, most of them prove to bo of little value, but a fair number show considerable promise. Among the latter are certain strains of millet from Asia which are sc promising that several of them may come into general use. /A number of legumes are being studied because of their adoption te acid soils. These include strains of Lespedeza, crown vetch, lupins, ser• radella and a perennial type of red clover. Lupins and serradella grow very well on sandy acid soils in the Maritime Provinces and Crown vetch produces an excellent growth at Me tawa. Lespedeza, to date, has been somewhat disappointing. A number of perennial plants which do not survive Canadian win- ters bave, nevertheless, shown pro - miss as annuals. These are all new plants in Cana- dian agric,ulture. „ To these must be added numerous improved varieties of those crops whith are commonly grown in this country. mlmo•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••11“.• Breeding for Egg Production (Experimental Farms Note) For many years, improvement in egg production has been sought mainly through the selection of males from high producing dams and mat- ing these to hens with good egg re- cords. There is little doubt but that this policy' has raised the general average production above that ob, taining when no attempt was made to select the breeders from a produc- tion standpoint. However, there is much evidence te) show that the daughters of high producing dams as Well as the daughters of sires from high producing dams may not neces- sarily be .good producers, unless the sire and dam are proven breeders. Poultrymen carrying on breeding op - progeny of the new sire or dam have proved to be satisfactory producers. • At the Fredericton Experhnental Station last year, records were kept on the progeny of six males. The records show the date each bird was hatched, her age at commencement of laying, her body weight every four weeks and the number and size of eggs produced. Hatching records for the sire and darn are kept and individual characteristics are noted. These records show clearly the value of .certain males and females as breeders over others of equally good ancestors. It has been demonstrated that breeders should be selected only from matings which gave high hatch, ability and which gave daughters possessing uniformly desirable char- acteristics such as high egg produc. tion and large eggs.

W. Collins, New Zealand Trade Commissioner for Canada at Toronto, who arrived at Halifax recently from Jamaica where he has been on a visit in the interests of trade between the Bri- tish 'West Indies and New Zealand. Continuing, Mr. Collins said that the ecent advance in the price of wool and meat has brought about a great revival of trade in New Zea- land. Every penny increase in the price of wool, he remarked, meant a million pounds sterling additional reventie. This betterment in the ec- onomic situation in New Zealand will provide a greater buying power, he declared, and should lead to a great- ly increased trade with Canada. The Ontario Legislature In a measure, known as the ,Dog Tax and Sheep Protection Act, intro, duced by Hon. Thos, L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, to the On- tario Legislature, provision is made for owners of sheep in unorganized territory to be placed on the same footing as is provided where there is municipal organization in connection with responsibility of dog-worryieg of sheep. • Under the present act, where there is •municipal erganization and the municipality has paid damages for sheep worried by dogs, the munici pality is entitled to recover from the owner of the dog without prow lug that the dog was vicious'nr ac- customed to worrying sheep. In the portions of the province where, there is no municipal organization a sheep owner can only sue the owner of the dog for any damages sustained through sheep worrying, and he is still subject to the common law rind The new act provides that the owner of the dog shall be liable to the owns er of the sheep for amount of dam- ages, and it will not be necessary in any action to recover such damages to prove that the dog was vicious or accustomed to worry sheep. 'Col. Kennedy also introduecd the Community Halls Acts, which pro- vides that where the Legislature has assisted a municipal corporation to build a community hall or establish an athletic field that such hall or field shall not be sold without the approval of the government. As the act now stands, such hall or field may be sold without consent •of the government and it is felt some checl against this should be made. The committee on -Game and Fish, under chairmanship of Coulter Mc- Lean, Cons. Eglinton -Toronto, divid- ed its hearings into different sub- jects. The anglers petition for -geeat- er propagation of the maskinange, asking that a full time biologist be appointed to study the problem It was also asked that the province be divided into zones as to fishing per- iods. Various hunters aseociations-were heard on the question of use of the dog in deer hunting. Divided opin- ions were heard both for and against the issue, but it is likely to be brought into the House through a bill to be introduced by D. J. Taylor, Progressive, North Grey. Baiting of ducks and geese was strongly oppos- ed, while a fifteen day period for partridge shooting and for deer hunt- ers was also asked. 1, A request for a government inves- tigation into abuses in the building and construction industry was made by to the Legislature by Russell! Nieshitt, K.0., 'Conservative member for Bracondale, Methods now used- ' Mr. Nesbitt termed "infernal' and 'Criminal" in connection with cer- tain general contractors. He asked that the labor committee of the leg- islature be called to probe existing' conditions -which he claimed were re- sponsible for pushing sub -contrac- tors into bankruptcy, throwing men out of employment and generally creating chaotic conditions. The practice of the large bulk contrac- tors in "peddling" contracts was criticized, and he also urged a min- imum wage law in the building in- dustry. Ontario'child •welfare laws were discussed by Hon. W. G. Martin, Min- ister of Public Welfare, who expres- sed the hope -to tine legislature that the day would not be far distant when these laws would be consoli- dated into a Children's (Charter or Child's Bill of Rights. Hon. Mr. Martin gave a comprehensive pleture - of the government social welfare - legislation, pointing to the'Children's Protection At under which since • 1893, 32,000 children, had been made wards of Children's Aid Societies: and under the Adoption Act 9,000 children had been adopted into fine Ontario homes and given full legal" ' status with the families. Since in. troduction of the Unmarried Parents Act in 1921, about $1,000,000 had been collected for the support of these infants thus relieving the mune ' icipalities and philanthropic soieties to a large extent. Mr: Martin expressed opposition to the suggestion that the Juvenile Court age be increased to 18 years, pointing out that while there is much to be said in favor of that move, yet at the present time the Industrial Schools of the province have no faci' ities for proper training of these old- er offenders. Consequently Mr. Mar- tin opposed raising the present maxi- mum age until there is provision for the segregation of those who have • 16 from children ,of tender years. Ontario's secial services, ho point- ed out, are more advanced than those • of any other government in North • American and during 1932 free ser- vices at a total cost of almost $120,- 000,000 had been available to the people. CROWN ATTORNEY OF GREY COUNTY MUST REFUND 162,850 IN FEB COLLECTIONS As a result of a Provincial audit of the accounts of the Crown Attor- ney's office for the County of Grey covering 1931 and 1932 the Province of Ontario and County Crown At, torney W. D. Henry, K.C., of Mark, dale, have been ordered to refund to the County of Grey and the City of Owen Sound the sum of $5,700 the amount divided equally between the two. The amount mentioned represents fees which were collected over the two-year period by the, Crown At- torny which the Provincial auditors say he had go right to collect, and which were shared on a 50 per cent, basis by the Province. The accounts were all passed by the County Board of Audit, but when objection was taken last year by the county and city authorities regarding the high cost of the administration of justice in the county the matter was taken to the office of the At- torneyeGeneral, an investigation was promised, and the accounts were forwarded to Toronto, with the result that word was xeceived that these refunds must be made. The investigation revealed that there had been collected a fee of $2 for all court adjournments, for which there is -no provision in the tariff, while there had also been collected a 50 -cent fee for the writing of Crown Attorney letters, for which there is also no provision in the tar- iff, while fees were charged in each case where several charges had been laid against one person, whereas there should have been just one fee to cover them all, and in all instances of this kind there must be a refund. There is also an adjustment to be made between Crown Attorney Hen- ry and the Highways Traffic De- partment with respect to fees and fines paid into the department, some of which should have gone to 'the county and some to the townships) and it is possible that Mr. Henry's refund•may be reduced slightly when these adjustments are made. Crown Attorney Henry receives a straight salary bf $4,000 a year, which includes his remuneration as Clerk of the Peace, and in addition 50 per cent of all fees collected. It is felt in municipal circles in the city and county that the abolition of the fee system of remuneration would have the effect of lessening the cost of the administration of justice. .GODERICH: Mackenzie King is dead, the victim of a hit-and-run motorist The death -dealing car was identifiedes that owned by Mr. Ja- cob, of Clinton. Arrangements were made for a suitable burial in Dr. Mabede cannine !cemetery. It should perhaps be expained at this point that "Mackenzie King" was the name of a thoroughbred pedi- greed Scottish terrier owned by John Graham, Gloucester Terrace. Ott Saturday last, "Mac," entirely ob- livious to an approaching ear, eat in the middle of Huron road waiting for his master, who was coming a- long with a horse and sleigh. The ear slowed down until it was almost upon "Mac" and then, according to an eye -witness, the vehicle picked up speed again and a rear wheel passed' over the animal, killing him almost instantly. The driver, apparently thinking he had missed the dog, did not stop. WRO BEHEADED KING CHARLES? DOES IT REALLY MATTER? Barbados, known also as "Little England," may have solved an his, torical mystery. A Barbadian has found a letter dated 1669 from John Newington of Barbados, to James Drawater, London, England. It states that one Hugh Peahen "who' hae been in the island (Barbados) almost 20 years and lived with many persons of good esteem, falling sick was much troubled in conscience . . . and did acknowledge himself "ye per- son that cut off ye head of King • Charles, tor which he had 100 pounds sterling." Following the de- claration Peachell died, "after re- • ceiving as much comfort as ye di' vine, one parson 'Lashley, could af- ford him." The letter adds that one William Hewel was at the moment- h,eld at Newgate, for the beheading..
