Well informed Observers say they are. Calv- es raised on she bucket often :gulp their milk too (fast, and scouring re- sults, 'Dtensits, necessarily employed for the feeding, often are disease car- riers. One suggestion is to put three or four calves on each nurse cow, The cow's total ,produotfon should be suf- ficient to give each calf from eight to ten pounds of milk daily: het the calves nurse two or three. times per day, until they are fifty to sixty clays old. After that, reduce the nursing frequency to once daily, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1937 Beginning in the third Week the straight milk ,ration should be supple- mented with .hay and, a ileal mixture. A good meal is composed of equal parts •of yellow corn, oats, wheat, orae, linseed oil meal and dry skim - milk, By the time the nursing frequen- cy is cut to once a day, each calf itouLd be consuming a'ppro•xinhately two pounds of meal per day. The feeding of meal is gradually increased until the calves can be totally weaned without serious checking of their growth. On Dipping Sheep Ticks in sheep are more easily dis- cernible after shearing and .perhaps on that account bhe dipping of sheep in the early part of the year is more commonly practised than in the fall, However, two dip'pd.ngs a year are re- commended because a few ticks its the fall may increase to large numbers by spring. So far as early dipping is concerned, all sheep not already dip- ped should be attended to .at once. In the warm weather Where is little dang- er from cold and the lambs have reached an age to stand dipping well. Ticks and lice are two external par- asites that are common pests to sheep. They sap the vitality of both ewes and lambs and are robe cause of mush discomfort. To secure the best re- turns from sheep, dipping should be .lone in the sunnier and early fall of the year. The cost of dipplcg should not exceed three cents per head. Dips are sold in two forms, powder and li- quid. Any of the standard dips carry directions for use on the package and good results are usually obtained if directions are followed. Community dipping 'tanks have conte into common use in recent Years. Oneof the first and main costs of dipping sheep is to tna'ke enough dip for bite bath and after that (lip- ping fluid is added as required. When a lot of sheep are dipped co-opera- tively the cost for dip is less and the labour involved is reduced also. A better dipping is usually secured. The following are reason's why , it pays to dip: 1. Sheep that are free from ticks and lice grow more and better wool. 2. A clean .flock requires less feed. and is more easily kept in good con- dition. 3. The lamb crop is stronger, ewes milk better, and lambs grow more rapidly. 4. Parasites are a source of serious discomfort to sheep. The good shep- herd should be mindful of the comfort of his flock, INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE IRIS QExperimental ,Farms Note) One may 'look far afield before !find- ing an attractive plant and !flower that requires little attention, survives smoke, dust and bitter weather, and yet gives great variation in colour, blobin and fragrance. But these re- quirements are met by the iris, "the old-fashioned flower"—!better known to .some as the flag. The iris is divided 'by root forma- tion into two major groups: those de- veloping from thick ,fleshy roots, call- ed rhizomes, and those arising from a bulb. Since the bulbous irises are the most beautiful of the iris family ('be- ing as fine in colour and !farm as many of the ,famed orchids) their popularity should not lag. 'There is a common belief that the English, Dutch and Spanish 'bulbous irises are not 'hardy in open gardens. ,Data from Amherst, Mass., show these ,bulbs withstood the severe winter of ;11931445, when thousands of apple trees perished. The cultural practices of the bulbous iris, 'briefly, are the same as for hardy tulips. Not only do irises grow 'in outdoor gardens, but they .readily adjust ,them- selves to indoor treatnhen•t. The bivl- bous type are grown extensively in greenhouses far commercial use; •but tire other type is seldom used, al- though, if properly cared for, it is equally as good as .far as cutting pos- sibilities are concerned. Por indoor ,production, ordinary ga rden varieties such as Koohii, K'har- p att, ,Cyanea, Schnee'kuppe, White - Edge, Oraage Queen and Betide, which have comparatively short erect °liege, are the most suitable.

For over a month there has been a heavy movement of light cattle into the teed -lots ,frown 'Kitchener to the border. At the .sante time a heavy movement of 'finished cattle was not- ed to Buffalo and Detroit markets. United States tariff quota against Ca- nadian cattle over 700 lbs. is due to be filled shortly; .this may account for present heavy shipments, but it is be- lieved that prices across the line are strong enough to cover an added cent per pound and that the movement of hashed stock south will continue. War On Chicory Pleased with the results of 'their re- cent campaign against poison ivy, On- tario Department of Agriculture offi- cials have declared war on cliicory, public enemy No. N among noxious weeds.

Deep ploughing is recom- mended to root it out of fields, spray- ing while the plants are 'blossoming along roadsides. Mr. McLeod issued an appeal to farmers and citizens to draw attention to weed inspectors to infested areas. He said a 'half -pound of sodium .chlorate to a gallon of wa- ter .was a good spray and should be put on at high ,pressure.

The Canada Temperance Act was voted upon by the electors of this County, and by those of Perth, Peel and Manitoulin, and was carried by them and made the operative law of these municipalities. many years ago. In the face of, and in violation of, the expressed opinion of the people of this riding, Mr. Hepburn's government has forced beverage rooms upon us with utter disregard of the law. Mr. Hepburn refuses to enforce the Canada Temperance Act in this rid- ing or in the other Counties where it has been decided this Act should prevail. All the Courts, including the Privy Council, have de- clared that the sale of liquor is illegal in Huron, but Mr. Hepburn declares the beverage rooms must continue in Huron and the . Courts and their judgments will continue to be disobeyed. A vote for Mr, Hepburn or his candidate in this ridittgl means that the voter wants beverage rooms to continue the illegal sale of liquor here. I personally pledge myself to the voters of this riding that, if elected, I will insist upon the enforcement of The Canada Temper- •ance Act in this riding and that I will do all in my power to remove all beverage rooms from this County. With your votes I can make this pledge good and I ant authorized by my leader, Mr. Rowe, to say that he is in full accordance with this stand, You are. entitled to a clear-cut statement of my leader's and my policy on this issue which so vitally affects the people of this riding and particularly our young -people. I firmly believe that if all the voters give careful consideration to, this most important issue there can be only one result—the beverage rooms in this County will be swept out of existence. Yours sincerely, R. H. Taylor, M.D. •
