College, Guelph. Under this system outstanding flocks are enrolled as poultry breed- ing stations and are specially selected, inspected and blood tested by field men from the Poultry Department. The flocks may be of any of the standard breeds and varieties of poultry, but they mus•' shove evidence of special care in regard to cleanli- ness and the general health and qual- ity of the stock. In addition it must. be shown that the flock yields high grade eggs for hatcTiing and market purposes, and also serves as a source of inspiration for others. At the present .time there are only five poultry breeding stations in Hu- ron County and there should he room for at least double this number. En- try must be made to the Poultry De- partment. 0,A, College, Guelph, be- fore September lst, Entry forms to- gether with a copy of the rules and regulations may he obtained by writ- ing the Poultry Department, or The Ontario Department of Agriculture, Clinton, Ont.

'One of the .most interesting de- velopments or trends of the present time is the extent to which tourist traffic is providing new outlets for farm products. The visitor evidently prefers the best in quality and insists, on having it supplied fresh. This de- mand is making itself felt in eointec- tiott with almost all farm products, but this year it is particularly notice- able in connection with the heavy de- mand for fresh Iamb and mattyn. De- spite the fact that there has been a fairly heavy marketing of lambs, 'and that these have had to compete with considerable ,quantities of imported frozen lamb, the tourist demand has taken care of practically all the fresh product as fast as it has ,come onto the market. The importance of fly spray for cattle is definitely shown in the fon- lowing statement by a well-lksaown Oxford d'airyman n 'Our herd :had not ,been sprayed for two or three days and the milk fio'w had :been materially affected. Tlhe first day after spraying there was 22 pounds mote milk and 'the second day the 'herd was up 42 .pounds, This .rate was maintained for about a week. While other factors may have !been partly responsible, I believe 'the in- crease was largely due to the fly spray. This increase was not much on twenty cows, but ,it more than paid for our investment in fly spray at 90 cents per gallon." Live Stock Figures. According- to authoritative figures, there are about 180,000 'farms in On tario maintaining live stock, with cap- ital invested in this stock of ap- proximately $240,000,000. This esti- mate is roughly apportioned as fol- lows: .:Horses, $82,000,000; cattle, $120;000,000; sheep, $7.000,000; swine, $14,000,000; poultry, $1'8,000,000. Dairy cattle are said to return 4o 'Ontario annually approximately one hundred million dollars from the .but- ter, cheese, milk, powder and whore milk. Making Poultry Pay. ,One of the most interesting fea- tures of the Poultry Week .Confer- ences at 0. -AJC. was the facts of poultry •flock .revenue as represented by Dr. Ma•rcdllus in connection with •the .OJB.S, work in 'On'tario. One flock of 225 hens produced revenue totalling $2;393:50, acid the cost olf feed totalled $933,96; a profit over cost of feed for the year .ef. $1,459, Herd is where the revenue came from: Market eggs, $850,68; hatch- ing eggs, $199.170; market poultry, $747.97; and sale of chicks and breed- ing stook $595:15, fin connection with feed, this operator .bought feed to the extent of $366.09 and fed feed produc- ed on .his own farm to a value of $567.87. , A number of outbreaks of sod web- woran have occurred in the western part of the province. The method ,of control proving most satisfactory is spraying with 4 pounds of arsenate of lead to 40 gallons of water. This, of course, can only be used where no stock are present, Tour Tobacco Area. The inspection, tour of the Standing Committee on Tobacco Investigations took place eanly .in August. The party included • 'Dr. Harcourt, Messrs. N. J. Thomas and 3. E. Hargrave of the Department of ,Chemistry, 10'A:C., Dr. Nelson, and other federal tobacco' specialists, as well as others directly interested in the tobacco crop. The tour was started at tlae Harrow Ex- perimental Station and tobacco ,fiel'd's were .visited ,iitriKen.t, Essex, ,Eligin and, Norfolk. At the tdbacco test pilots near Delhi a special study was made of the effect of fertilizers of varying combinations on thetobacco 'plants. Foilow'ing official tests, the 0. A. C. herd of cattle, numbering 181 head,. was pro'noun•ced• absolutely free from tuberetillbsis. Live stock shipments from Canada to Great /Britain continue to increase, a recent report showing that approxi- mately 10,000 head of cattle have been marketed in the United 'Kingdom so' far this season. Latest returns from ,beekeepers in various parts of Ontario indicate that the honey crop generally will be light- er than anticipated three weeks ago. Unsettled weather came at a .tithe when the:honey flow was in full swing and materially lessened the :crop. I\\'omen and Asthma.'
