Too .bad to lose a young man from the ecighborboad ;like that. Successful .winter pig ,production de- pends largely upon three iactors. These factors are: warm, dry aleeping quarters, free from ;draughts; suitable feeds and care in ;feeding them, and exercise in the early atages df growth. Exet!'cise for the growing animal is practically a ;necessity. This is partic- elarly brae of the pig in the early stages, and especially so if the pig is or third cutting hay is ran. through a cutting box in .about half-inch lengths, steeped for twenty-four hours by en- tirely covering with cold water, strain- ed, and fed in shallow tubs. For the best results it is fed immediately after tite early morning grain and again late in the ,afternoon. Old stalks left should be thrown out .where the birds bannot reach them or they may be the cause of crop trouble. 'Fair results may be had by -feeding good alfalfa leaf dry but the experi- ence 'at this Station is that the steeped cut hay is better appreciated by the birds on account of its easy digestibil- ity and because it is more palatable. feeding without exercise is conducive to crippling. It is wise, therefore, to allow the young pigs 16 run outdoors during' the fine ,fall weather, and when they must be kept inside, due to bad weather, they should be allowed auffi- ciertt pen space to exercise freely. Field Roots for Horses Turnips and carrots ate the most commonly used of field roots as feed for horses. There is no question as to the value of field roots as Iced for horsesa value .which is too little, ap- preciated. Roots are rarely sliced or pulped when ;fed to horse e for the reason that the outstanding virtue in root feeding is .the 'beneficial effect on the teeth and gums 'ruching from the necessary biting into the Whole root.

"Poem a ;splendid tonic or condi- tioner. , ;For sevetal years it 'has been the praotice at the Experimental Station at Harrow to chop tfine the young al- falfa shoots for the baby chicks and to use ;out .alfalfa hay as the sole means of sopplying the necessary roughage and greens for 'winter egir production. A good grade of second atarene Ontario Seed Crrain After a careful survey of the seed situation for the spring of 1838, the Department 'finds that there are suffi- cient oats and barley in the province to look atter the seed requirements. This is dependent on every ;farmer taking immediate steps to have the best of his grain cleaned tend set aside for his seed. 'Many appear to think that 'because their grain this year is off color and a little under standard in weight that it will not make suitable seed, 'hitt tests already made show that when this off -colored and under- weight grain has been thoroughly cleaned hp to a 50 per cent cut in some instances, good seed was secur- ed which germinated as high as 90 per cent.' N this work is done now the cleaned out grain can be used dor feed. By following out some such pdlicy thefe will be no great shortage of seed next spring. .Many farmers have a fanning mill of some description, which with a little repair and an extra screen or two, will clean grains. 'Phe correct screens, of course, are import- ant. and should any farmer be in doubt, the Department will he glad to 'furnish this information on request. Where farmers ilive within driving and trucking .distance of power cleaning plants th.at have scourers and miter disc ma.chines, it will pay them to have ;their cleaning done at one of these plants. aNthat is most important is that the farmers start now so that the clean- ing and germinating can he done prop- erly. and not leave it until a soring rush develops. 'Germination tests twill indicate the suitability of seed. Reports from Counties 'Poultrymen in 13rant County report good production ;from their flocks but feed costs out of line twith prices re- ceived ior their products. A ,f4ew own- ers complain of feeding troubles with home-grown gnains, owing to the fact that much of the !again was badly weathered at harvesting. 4Jarge quan- tities of alfalfa hay are ,being shipped aront iHaldimand, both baled .and ground. 'Prices being paid to farmers for hay in the !barn mao from $8.010 to 118.50—Several loads of Western lambs are on feed in Middlesex and are in- ing marketed as they reach proper veight and finish at around 417.95 cwt. Prince Edward County reports buy- ers for new milkers and springers have been active recently.
