St, W,, Toronto, Saving Labor. We are :feeling now the scarcity of , labor, Another season_tl'.is will be.. still more noticeable, We roust there- fore, start now to prepare for the labor situation at that time, How can we do this? Firstby co-op- erating more intensely 01nong our-, selves, Each neighborhood planning as a whole the maximum use of cer- tain farm machinery that may be too i expensive to buy individually, as me-, nure spreaders, silo cutters, feed; grinders, ditch diggers, etc. It is economy to buy fertilizers in advance' so they can be hauled and stored in. the banal during the winter for spring , and full use. Each person. should be, able to know how much he needs. A great saving can be made by buying in carlots. The planning of work far in ad-, vance will in many cases make many working days and possibly months difference in' the course of the year's work. We should also plan on grow- ing such crops that require the least amount of time for harvesting com- pared with the money and nutritive value, We should also plan on having such crops that will make use of a farmer's time as well as that of the hired help 'continuously, and not have all the work pile up at one time. See that all machinery is well greas- ed to prevent rust, housed as soon as not needed, as well as all repairs made, each machine being looked over very carefully to see if there are any worn parts that need to be replaced, One hinder I saw this summer had been used every season for the last twenty years... It cut seventy-two acres of grain this year. It could not have done this 1f it had not been taken care of. Clean, oil and repair all harness, A well oiled harnese will last twice as long as the one mis- used. Mance gates that are 'light, service- able, easy to operate, Did you over think how many minutes, 118 well as hard work, could be saved by having such gates? You get aecustomed to seeing and using your own gate, but notioe those of someone else, Some of you have spent hours, possibly days of valuable time during the busy season repairing fences, but only in a make- shift way to keep the cows out for the time, only to be compelled to do it again in a day or two. Such places can be fixed at odd tinges during the winter, and in many eases the loss of crops damaged by the cattle would have paid for the labor several times. Besides getting mad at oneself on ac- count of one's own carelessness is hard on a person's morals,.. Replacing a broken hinge, on the barn door or putting g cheap fastener on It instead of using a prop may save minutes which, taken as a whole, are valuable. Repairing buildings, stop- ping cold draughts on the cattle saves feed because it makes the cows pro- duce more economically. Farmers as a v,•hole have co-operated in their work more this year than ever before, There is a great difference, however, in the amount of work done with the same help in a given time on the different farms. One man is a hustler and had everything ready in advance, another takes plentyof time for everything and being unable to prepare for a certain kind of work until the moment it is needed, causes a great amount of wasted time. Onoa Experiments carried out in recent years show that the falling off in milk supply from cows lying out is little or none as compared with those kept constantly tied up, provided the ani- mals are well fed, and reasonable shelter is found. Animals which are allowed exercise get up a healthy circ- ulation which enables them to with- stand chills, and if they can get rough shelter they adapt themselves to the winds. Animals tied up in undue warmth during part of the twenty- four hours, and standing in cold draughts, such as are found in most cowsheds, are in a more defencel6ss condition. Ventilation and draught practically always go together and do not work harmoniously for the ani- mals. - Animals are able to stand great cold with impunity so long as they can get under shelter to keep their skins dry, and can lie dry. It is the evaporation of moisture from an animal that caus- es chill, and consequently the necessi- ty for sheltering hovels in lands and pastures, When topping up fattening cattle there is no doubt that meat is more quickly ]aid on when they are restricted M their movements; but in doing this the ultimate object is not HIGHEST PRICES PAID For POULTRY, GAME, EGGS & •FEATFIERS Please write for particulars. 8.

It is not to be inferred from what has been said that animals should be left to face the full brunt of wet and wind, snow and frost, and the amount of shelter needed depends very much on the breed, and whether it is in its natural climate. Food is the great defender from cold, and the colder it is the more is needed. A well-filled stomach, even, though it be of coarse food with little food material, seems to act as 'a pro- tection against cold, the bulk of warm substance acting as an inner lining against loss of temperature; but the increase of cold should be met by ad- ditional starchy or fatty matter, which when assimilated, will generate heat. Tho well-known experiment on pigs carried out years ago by Sir John Lawes showed what a large propor- tion of the food consumed went to maintain respiration, to which starch and oils mainly contribute, heed& \:') It is quite possible for the farmer to establish a flock even at present prices and realize 50 to 70 per cent, profit on his investment during the first year, Intelligent ,care must be taken to prevent all 'induct losses in quantity and quality of mutton, lamb and wool. The cheap but efficient wintering of the flock largely governs the annual income therefrom. If infested with ticks, dip at once and thus save nearly one-half the win- ter's feed. The lousy sheep not only consume more feed and remain thin and weak, but produce less wool and that of a lower grade. Unwashed wool worth 65 cents per pound, which is more than butter, cheese, beef, eggs or other perishable animal products, surely deserves pro- per care in preservation,'. Only the clean fleeces bring the top price, A few moments spent now in repairing racks, feed chutes and pens to keep chaff, dust and cobwebs from the wool will be well repaid, The sheep poorly wintered and al- lowed to become weak or sick produce weak lambs and a light fleece, This fleece is always of low value per poand due to weakness of fibre pro- duced dtii•ing the unthrifty period. Good wintering pays in every way. Don't sell last spring's lambs in a light, unfinished' state. Finish them for Christmas or Easter, and by thus marketing home-grown feeds, make $1 to $1.50 per lamb, over selling early in the unfinished state. Winter finish or fattening rations:—Roots (turnips preferable if there are any wethers) 4 to 6 pounds; or ensilage and roots, equal parts, 4 to 5 pounds; bay (clover and fine grass) 11/2 to 3 pounds; grain mixture as follows, - 1. Oats, 3 parts, bran, 1 part; corn, 1 part. 2. Oats, 4 parts; bran; 2 parts; oil - cake, 4/e part, Start with a/i pound per lamb per day, There are many tate-hatched chicks now arriving at roosting age, and the trick of getting them safely to roost- ing without losses .from crowding, overheating, and thus lowering their vitality, as no small problem. Some helps that are saving losses among progressive poultrymen are poultry -wire coveted frames that can be set in the corners of the brooder houses' tnd brood coops to prevent the chicks from crowding into the corners when sleepy time comes. Another similar help to be used lat- er in getting the chicks to roost early are slatted or wire -covered portable 1bridgea leading up to the level of the low ioosts and so made that the chicks cannot get under, through, or behind the bridges and roosts, The chicks will then naturally walk up to the roosts when trying to get to their former sleeping place on the floor lit- ter. It is important to place the low flat roosts just above the place where they have previously slept on the floor. The first roosts for the youngsters can well be made in the form of a movable platform having the roosts two inches wide and a foot apart, and the entire under side of the roosting Platform covered with poultry wire to keep the chicks from going down through and behind the roost to sleep on ello floor. Even when hundreds of chicks are housed in one brooder coop, this planwill prevent them from crowding and overheating, since there is always air below and they will na- turally prefer to sit on the roosts rather than on the uncomfortable wire. Amused The Ring. The King 01111 Queen had an en- thusiastic reception when they visited the Western General Hospital at Liveclilool recently, One man, who had been first wounded at Mons, told the Ring that he had been visited after that, battle by Lord Kitchener, who had said: "Well, well, bullet wounds don't motto' much nowadays!" "But they ain't good for your 'ealth, your Majesty," said the veteran, while the Ring and those around him laughed. finishing with 1 pound per day, Elevator screenings, as sold fieri gov- ernment elevators, containing a min- imum of •biaekseeds (mustards etc,) are economical in the grain ration, Various grades of these screenings such es scalpings, buckwheat screen- ings, etc., may also be the cheapest grain for cattle and swine. Never confine sheep too closely in winter, Leave doors on protected side of shed open at all times, Over- heating is the direct canoe of collo, pneumonia, shedding of fleeces and similar troubles which are often fetal. 4 In the growth and development of hogs it is important to kill the lice. Crude oil is effective for this purpose, for it not only kills the lice but alse. destroys the nits and makes the akin and hair of the hog soft and bright, There are many hog dips on the market, but many of these are unsat- isfactory. Crude oil has been found to give better results. This all may be applied by the use of patent hog oilers, but as n ruble these are not sat- isfactory, for they are expensive and many -do not apply the oil evenly. One of the most satisfactory methods of applying crude oil is to drive aa many of the hogs as possible at one time into an inclosure having a cement floor, Oil may then be ap- plied to the hogs with an ordinary springling can. The hogs will rub against each other and thus distribute the oil evenly.
