'Prior to the advent of the truck when livestock was generally moved by rail, the shipper's interests were protected by a big'! of lading. More re cently, however, with a great part o. livestock shipping being effected by truck, the shipper had to depend it many cases on the integrity of the trucker. Too often this resulted in dispute, with the shipper sustaining a serious loss. With the bill of lading now com- pulsory, the shipper may designate to whom his livestock will be sold. He will receive from the commission house, or packer, a description o weights and prices paid. The issuing of a master check is now a thing of the past. The buyer, under the new regulation, is now obliged to make out a check, less trucking charges, payable to each shipper. Such enecks are guaranteed by a bonding house which still further protects the shipper. In a word,`the Regulation assures the shipper that the will get his money. and a full and correct statement from the purchaser to whom the trucker delivers his load. In cases where the 'armer transports his own livestock, or where a dr -over purchases outright from the' farmer, a bill of lading is not compulsory. The value of the Regu- ' ation is unquestioned, However, to be of greatest value to the shipper, he must be thoroughly familiar with the terms of the hill of lading and insist that it be used at all times. Of the three elements of plant food' 'contained in `complete .fertilizer mix- tures the proportion' of nitrogen an the `fertilizer: should be given special attention. If previous crops have shown too great a gro'wth' of leaf and stem with a poor grain, root, or fruit development, the proportion of nitro- gen in. the fertilizer mixture should he materially reduced, or eliminated' en- tirely; if the growth has been lacking in vigour and the plants pale in col- our, the seil has probably been low in available nitnoget},.and a liberal sup- ply of this element will probably ,be required fon normal development. Hogs Should Follow Steers IHogs should follow grain -fed cat- tle. They will not only utilize the,. waste grain but will improve the, manure produced. Moreover, the pro- fit from winter -+feeding beef tattle on grain under present conditions will depend very largely on fire hogs which utilize the,undigested feed from the cattle: The number df hogs need- ed to clean up after steers depends on the size of the cattle and the kind and amount of grain fed to them. More hogs per steer will thrive if the cattle are fed corn on the cab than if the corn is crush- ed or ground. II1 husked ear corn is fed to the cattle, each steer will sup- port front one to one-and=a-half hogs. Of coarse, the heavier the steers are fed the faster the hogs will gain. Young pigs weighing about 300 pounds each ane best to follow cattle, Hay Shortage Expected A hay shortage is probable in the St. Lawrence counties and the Ot- tawa valley before spring, and this is being, intensified by the early winter and exteeine cold which has required heavier feeding than usual, Some far- mers are reducing their herds since they are not in a .financial position to buy hay and regard the outlook as poor 'for satisfactory prices for cattle, In the eastern part of central ,Ontario the hay crop was light also and far- mers tlhere realize that careful con- servation of supply is necessary. Far- ther .west, toward Toronto, the hay crop was goodwith plenty of alfalfa and red clover, so that on the whole there may be sufficient hay in central Ontario to meet requirements until spring,' In northern Ontario ehe hay market at present is quiet, the best demand being from the mining towns. The supply of hay in the agricultural sections Of northern Ontario is believ- ed to be sufficient far local needs. Current prices being paid growers are: in the St. Lawrence counties, for timothy and clover mixed, $12 to $115 per ton; in central Ontario, timothy and clover mixed, $111, in the upper and lower Ottawa valleys, mixed hay, $S to $9 and in Sault Ste Marie, Sud- bury and New Liskeard localities of REGENT THEATRE SEAFORTH NOW PLAYING GRACIE FIELDS in "Looking on the Bright Side" Comedy Cartoon Mon.
