Cost study reveals striking variations in the net return secured 'by milk producera••from their business. Studies •af a similar nature in other dairying sections of Canada and in other countries 'have at other times shown similar wide differences in 'the farm business returns, As in urban business, some farmers do well w'hi'le others have great difficulty in accumullating, sufficient net revenue to maintain 1sving standard's. The operator 'labor earnings is the teran used in this study to express the return to the .farm operator -for his labor and management after de- ducting from receipts all general ex- penses, interest on capital values at 4 per cent, and wages for all members of -She farm operator's family for such farm work as 'they do,except the farm manager himself. The high- est operator labor earnings 'for the year ending June 310, 11913317, amongst 460 shippers of milk to !fluid markets, was $51511111 and the 'lowest (minus) —81,879. The variation in operator la - 'bar earnings between these two farms was more than $7,0010. lerhile one '• can not with accuracy gauge farming by •the net returns in any .ane year of op- eration's, this wide variation in net return's is a characteristic which has been revealed by all similar studies of any competitive 'business. There are several factors which are responsible for the great difference in net income as ,between farms. Same of 'these fac- tors come within and some are be- yond the control of the 'farmer, such as weather and prices. A. farmer may suffer a reverse in 'progress due to unfavorable conditions of weather in any one year, but over a period of years, he may learn through experi- ence 'the kind of weather to expect and can make adjustments in the bus- iness accordingly. Unusual conditions of weather do not occur annually, The 'hazards of prices, .too, can be overcome in a large measure by care- ful. study. It is true the farmer's esti- mate of prices may be incorrect for a period, but careful study of price in- formation will assist greatly in hurdl- ing such.. handicaps. Advice on Pigs Two hundred 'Western 'Ontario far- mers learned about hogs at the Swine School at the Western Ontario Exp- erimental Station, Ridgetown, on Jan- uary 2555, when Dr. Lionel Steven- son, .provincial zoologist, discussed the nature, cause and remedy of a score of swine diseases and internal parasites. He declared that •drugs would not take the ,place .of sanitation and good care and added: "If pigs are to be profitable, they must start Counter Check Books We Are Selling Quality BoOks Books are We11 Made, Carbon is Clean and Copies Readily.

If a pig does not make a steady gain during the first eight weeks of its life. it will be: hopelessly stunted the rest of its life," Dr. 'Stevenson .tag- ged the "Round Worm" as one of the worst enemies ai a pig. Seventy per cent of young pigs die as a result of these worms, he said. He also des- cried, the old method of allowing the pig to wallow in mud and. 'filth in which places worn[ ergs and disease germs were prevalent. In place of such conditions he recommended the colony 'crouse system similar to that employed by the local experimental farm, "Forty per ai the fault of swine producers today is 'that they don't keep the animals dean. Pigs are one of .the deane-e animals we have if given the opportunity to keen clean," he declared. Time to Clean Seed Delay in cleaning and grading seed until a few days before seeding, is a habit 'too common on many Ontario farms,'states John D, McLeod of the Crops, Sends and Weeds Brandt. When the farmer finally becomes seed minded he usually finds that the quantity of ;rain in the binse is not sufficient to clean up the number of bushels necessary to -.sew the requir- ed number of acres. Such being the case he has two alternatives, to re- duce the wind blast and the amount of small grains which should be re- moved, or to purchase 'seed. In many cases the former pian is followed and. seed of inferior quality is sown, Mr, bfcLeod says. The seed produced on many farms may be equal to and possibly super- ior uperior to that grown by neighbors. Ie is •suggested that seed cleaning be start- ed daring the winter months; farm work is not so pressing; the 'bulk from which the seed is to be taken is anger; 'smaller .grains, light grains and off type, .grains may be fed and, the very best -kept for seed, The sowing oe the 'best varieties and the 'best seed of these varieties is practically the only operation in con- nection with crop production within control -of the farmer and 'by follow ng this plan one is assured sof -heavy yields of high quality. Those living within reach of a seed csieaning plant would he well advised to Olean and grade their seed- daring the winter months. If the -facilities of a 'seed cleaning plant are not avail-` able, the farm size fanning mill should be ,reconditioned, placed near the 'bins, operated by power if pos- sible, .and grain from the best bins cleaned and recleaned. By following this plan the best of the grain will be available for seed. Small grains make good feed but poor seed. The Crops, Seeds and :Weeds Branch of the Ont. Dept. of Agricul- ture is prepared to assist farmers with any seed cleansing problems. A pamphlet recommending the screens •'m• the cleaning and grading of grain and seeds is available on request. To properly care for brood mares during tile winter months, it must be understood that they should be given mild exercise each day but deep -nova- and the hauling of heavy loads houfd be avoided. It is particularly important that :nares in foal are not allowed to be idle during the winter months, a they usually prodace weak foals—no matter how they may be fed. A brood mare'e ration may he made up of a variety of feeds, how- ever it is essential that it be nutriti- ons and contain a generous supply of protein and minerals. A good. ,rade of mixed hay, oats and bran ells supply all the necessary require- ments. A few roots `fed daily will also prove beneficial. The amount of hay and grain to be ied daily will ;depend upon the size of the mare, her con- dition and the type of work she is doing. Naturally the more she is re- quired to do—the larger the .daily grain ration. Young mares that have not completed their ,growth must be fed quite liberally. After the foal is born, drinking water with the chill taken off ie given to the mare. The mare's first feed after foaling is always a warm bran mash and the grain ration con- tains one-half bran for a week or more after the foal is dropped. By so doing, complications such -as an ov'er- supply, of milk -or 'inidagestion are usually avoided. When mares are thin at foaling tune, light feeding should only be .continued .for a few days. In such cases, the 'feed is usual- ly increased gradually in order to ensure a ,good supply of milk ear tbe foal, ivfares that are required to ware: while nursing their, foals will require liberal feeding, if they-areto be .kept! in good 'fleshand provide a generous supply of milk for the foals.
