Study of Distribution; Indicated as Necessity A survey of conditions at the Un- ion. Stock Yards, Toronto, made by the Ontario Marketing :Board, would indicate. that there is a definite need for a more even distribution of live stook offerings during the 'five trad- ing clays of each week. At present, by far the greatest vol- ume of live stock is offered on Mon- days and Tuesdays. The result of this condition is that a considerable per- centage niiist be held over sometimes until Friday, necessitating the ' ex- pense of one or two ettra days of feeding in addition to freight and oth- er charges. 'This angle of marketing must re- ceive snare study if losses in live stock are to be reduced to a minimum. Bees Suffer Heavy Winter Loss.

At one o 1 t h e 'Dominion Experimental lBranclt fauns, a careful selection of breeders has resulted in an average itic'reaso over Ewe years of 73 eggs per hen, the production being raised .from. 11141ll'to 21111. The Egg Laying contests also 'have demonstrate d what is possible to be clone in good faros ,flocks, Since the contest started in 11119 the average yield has increas- ed from1 1120 to 111. The average pro- duetion ill the 19!3;1-32 contest was 4,75 eggs;- and as this average was taken fronn a total of 4,370 birds, en- tered by 4137 .breeders in the 113 con- tests throughout the' whole Doniin- ion,the average may be takenas fair for the better classes in Canada. •Further, the 'hatchery approval and cockerel distribution policies of the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture are at the disposal of .those building up poultry ,flocks. Protection for the Shallow Well 'Water of deep origin has probably travelled some distance and been 'fil- tered through a large depth of earth so that the danger of surface pollu- tion is reduced to 0 minimum. If a sleep well cannot be sunk for masons of expense or otherwise, it is desirable to take great care to pro- tect the shallow well' front surface pollution. This may be dobe by lin- ing it with concrete or puddled clay to a depth of :111 to Ile feet carrying , the protections up one foot above the . •• surface of the ground. (Surface water will then be .filtered through at least 110 feet of earth before seeping into the well, Oats For Hay and Pasture The dry season of last year follow- ed by a long cold winter has result- ed in feed supplies being pretty well used up and many farmers face a shortage of hay, Under these cir- cumstances it becomes necessary to sow- some kind of annual :crop in the spring which can be cut later. For this purpose there is nothing better than oats or a mixture of peas and oats. ,Oats grow fairly well in cool weather and for this reason seeding Sonne oats as soon as the land is ready so as to get a crap of hay early itt the season. Peas thrive in cool weather, also when mixed with oats improve the quality of .the feed, Two bushels of oats and one of peas is the correct rate of seeding. Orchard Sod Treatment A very interesting experintettt in the comparison of .two systems of sod treatment in orchard management has been in progress for nanny years at the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion at Fredericton, 21113.
