It is sodium fluoride. a chemical that is easy to obtain, easy to apply, ef- fective and safe .in its application. Sodium Fluoride leery Effective.

Sodium fluoride retains its efficiency, and may be kept if need be to closed tight bottles or cans and used when wanted, Ons application, if thorough, will destroy all lice, on the birds and remain effective long enough to get many of the parasites that hatch later. Tbere are three methods of application in common use; all are effective, but the "pinch method" Is the most .commonly prac- ticed in small stocks. It consists of the application of the sodium fluo- ride powder directly to the skin and feathers of the bird, the operator taking up what he can hold between the thumb and forefinger and apply- ing on breast, each thigh, each side of back, on the neck, head, under- side of each wing, below the vent. It takes ten pinches of the chemical to Dover the bird by this method and and skilled operators eau handle sixty birds ae hour, The Dusting Method. The dusting method of applying sodium fluoride is by mixing with a a tiller material, as flour, talc, or plass campaign. The French commission Mr. and Mrs. P.

A large number et tests have been conducted in past years on the ex- perimental plots at the Ontario Agri- cultural College with different varie- ties and strains of alfalfa. It was discovered more than a decade ago that the Common alfalfa from the Genteel Western States would not live long in Ontario. Variegated al- falfas, such as the Grimm and the Ontario Variegated, however, proved hardy in this Province. These two varieties are now increasing substan- tially as the farmers appreciate their superiority over the Common, violet flowered variety. In one experiment at the College alfalfa has been out for hay three times a year for eleven successive years without re -seeding. The arst cutting this year, therefore, is the thirty-fourth crop obtained from the one seeding. The average yield. of flay per acre per annum iron the eleven.yeai:s df this test was slightly over four tons. In another experiment of thirty- four plots seeded in the spring 01 1922, the highest yield of hay troll] the first cutting of this year was of the Variegated type. The °oinmen alfalfa has variegate- ed flowers of different densities and the Variegated alfalfa has violet, green, blue and yellow of various blends which can be seen when the blossoms are fully opened: Several carloads of seed oe high quality of Variegated alfalfa have been produced and sold for seed pur- poses in each at the past two or three years in Peel County alone. Also In a number 01' other counties seed 01 the Variegated type of alfalfa is be- ing -produced.—Dept. of Extension, 0. A, C., Guelph. J.. ,Mitchell, Mission City, B,C., and grandson of airs. j..

During eight years The Ontario Temperance Act has wrought a moral, social and economic transformation, gradual but real, iff A new genera- tion knows nothing of the evils of the liquor traffic before the O. T. A. came into force. Older generations niay have forgotten. ¶ Think of it! There is not a man or woman 29 years ofage who has legally seen' the .inside of a bar -room or liquor shop in the Province of Ontario. II Booze is banned! It is a discredited and dishonored outlaw. Now, it wants to come back. It seeks not only re -instatement, but that the Government itself shall be an active partner. Do You Ffteniesamlaer?

The O.T.A. Has Made Good Contrast those conditions with the situation today. The Ontario Temperance Act has brought immeasurable improvement. Drunk- -- enness has decreased. Crime has been lessened.
