Testing of Cattle "The success or failure of our cat- tle :business will be directly propor- tional to our ability to maintain and develop our present export market— Great Britain and the United States," declared L. E. O'Neill, director of the Live Stack Branch, Ontario Depart- ment of 'Agriculture, in discussing the cattle situation in .Ontario. With the efforts we are making to improve the health status of Ontario cattle and eradicate bovine tuberculo- sis, it is evident that within a short period of time, the whole:Province of Ontario will be a restricted area," •con- tinued Mr. O'Neill. "Would it not be, good 'business for Western •cattlemen to put their Battle on a status so that they can 'freely supply without hind- rance the feeder market in Ontario and the feeder market in United States where ;the cattle are all tested?" Mr. O'Neill pointed out fully con- scious of the terrific toll T,B.'sas tak- ing of British cattle. The British gov- ernment was spending the tremend ous sum of three million .dollars a year to stamp out bovine 'tuberculosis in Old Country cattle. It was expected 410 per cent. would react to the test. 'nTherefore +is it not reasonable to. suppose that in this cleanup there will be enlarged market for Canadian dairy caws," asked Mr. 'OiNeill, 'SA'nd we should be in a position to supply this market when it develops. This means that' we will have to clean house ourselves." 'Our •other ;big market is. United States, With practically all the States already tested for T. B„ and with the state and federal regulations' becoming more stringent, we must keep pace with the country that tokes our great- est snlrpl s or cattle." Discussing the progress of T. B. testing in Ontario, Mr. O'Neill 'stated the •following 1115; counties and four districts had been tested and were now T. B. free areas: 'Carleton, Pres- cott, Russell, 'Glengarry, Stormont, Dundas, 'Grenville, Leeds, Prince Ed- ward, Durham; Northumberland, On- tario, York, Peel, Halton, Manitoulin Island, Kenora, Thunder Bay and Ti- miskaming. Counties where farmers have signed up for cattle tests and are now await- ing action by Federal government vet- inarians, are Lanark, ;Peterborough, Victoria, Simcoe, Grey, Lincoln, and Rainy River. Lennox and Addington have filed a petition for all territory south of Highway No. 7, which takes in .most of the cattle district. In addition, the townships of Mara and Rama in Ontario county, which were not tested when the balance of that county was gazetted, have now filed a petition asking their cattle be tested when work is being done in Victoria county.

Test Seed Before Sowing ' When seed fails to germinate after sowing, real ,loss results, for reseed- ing costs money and early •crop pros- pects vanish. Recently a gardener sent samples of lettuce, onion, beet and of car F s eed to the Dominion Seed Branch .Lalboratory, Ottawa, for ger- mination test. The seed was three years old ,and intended for use next spring. The lettuce ,germinated 7I ,per cent, the beet 7111 per cent, the •carrot 49 per cent 'and the onion 2 per cent. Three years ago, when 'fresh, nt of these seeds germinated over RO( per cent. These tests proved once again that some :kinds of seed lose their vitality quicker than others. The on- ion seeds were practically dead when three years old, while the beet and lettuce seeds retained reasonably high germination. The carrot seeds had de- clined ,almost 150 per cent in the three years 'but was still serviceable at a heavier seeding rate. These results are typical of many tests made. The point is that ofd seed should not be used 'before testing for germ- ination. This may' be done at home be- tween tsvo damp blotters or a sample may 'be sent to the nearest Dominion Seed' Branch.Laboratory. Wrong Fertilizers The 1+9316 recommendations of the Advisory Board for Ontario are avail- able in pamphlet form to any farmer who applies far his copy to the Ontar- io Department of Agriculture, Toron- to. Those who follow these recom- mendations will be spending their money for •fertilizers to good advant- age. Modern 'knowledge of fertilizers and their uses proves which to use and how they should be applied for best 'results and at lowest :cost. There are many 'kinds and analysis of fertili- zers in the market and their wise se- lection means profit and their unwise selection loss and disappointment, -Fertilizers for each class of crop are specified in the recommendations. Most garden crops for example re- quire fertilizer of different analysis than for most farm crops. Then too, materials such as superphosphate, ni- trate of soda,etc. have special and li- mited uses. These and many other 'Points regarding suitable fertilizers for different crops and soils are ex- plained in the recommendations. Far- mers Should be cautious of :buying fer- tilizer other than recommended by the Board. :Clever advertising and enticing claims have brought loss to -many a 'buyer. This should be prevented by following the recommendations of the Ontario Fertilizer Board. Fertilizers and Their Use Fertilizers are carriers of ,plant food and unless ;placed in a ;convenient po- sition for the plants to use, are inef- fective. It is not enough to scatter the fertilizer around the plant on the sur- face 'of the soil with the expectation that bounteous rains or watering will take all the plant food down to the "feeding roots. Some is bound to 'be lost unless cultivated into the soil or better still it should Ibe placed in. nar- row bands at the depth of the ,plant roots and 'from two to four inches away. This permits the roots to reach the fentilizer quickly and easily with- out chemical injury to the +p'lant. The so.'ealled "band way" of applying fer- tilizers to garden crops .has proven the most effective and economical. Mod- ern planters and drills are 'designed to apply the fertilizer in the band way. Farm machinery is a big item in the matter of farm capital and so deserves more consideration than is usually given to it. 4Dn the average farm this item will amount to about "$1,500. De- preciation is one of the greatest fac- tors the farmer has to contend with in this connection, and is usually figured at about ten per cent. In many cases, however, this figure will :be nearly doubled, but with proper housing'fa- cilities or proper handling, it can be reduced considerably. With another season of work not far away, now is opportune time to get drills, 'disk harrows, cultivators and other machinery checked over. A few hours' work tightening loose bolts and 'b'earings, replacing worn or miss- ing parts, will likely save valuable time during the busy season. It is a paying proposition for the farmer to be able to take his machinery into the field at the start of the season in first 02 Hs *nes Chiropractor Office — Commercial Hotel Hours—Mon. and Thurs. after Electro 'Therapist — Massage nouns and by appointment FOOT CORRECTION by manipulation—Sun-ray treat - meat Phone 2t2f7. class condition, 'Much of this 'work can be done now, such as sharpening disks and scrapers on the grain drift, seeing that oiling "systems are clean and in working order so that all parts of the machine' are +properly lubricated, and so on. It is advisable to wash out the disks of the drill with kerosene and to make ,certain that these parts are getting oil or grease to them and that the disks are properly adjusted. Liberal use of oil or 'grease on ma- chinery is not a waste but rather a good investment. Some •parts will re. quire more oiling than others, but generally 'speaking, for the average tillage machinery, proper oiling or greasing of all parts twice a day is sufficient. Choosing a good grade of lubricant is good • economy in the long run. Doupe. McLean— A quiet wedding took place at the Presbyterian manse, Cromarty, when Rev. James 'R'eidie united in marriage Janet IE., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan McLean, of •Russeldale, and William A. E. Doupe, of ,Kirkton. The bride wore a royal blue suit with matching accessories and a corsage of pink carnations and fern. They were attended 'by Mr. and Mrs. Cameron McLean, of Staffa. 'Mr. and Mrs. Doupe will reside on the groom's farm near 'Kirkton. Daughter -'Mother, William 'Jimson keeps staring at me all the time in church, Mother—t didn't observe. Where does he sit? Why, right 'behind us. She — Don't harden your heart against me.
