Poultry Grades.
Mot df the poultry being offered
on the market this year is being grad-
ed in accordance with government
standards, with the class and grade
•marked by tags affixed td the breast
of the bird. There are two classes of
poultry, "Milk -fed," distinguished by
white fat and "Selected," distinguish-
ed by yellow fat. Witifilin theseeelasses
are the grades "Millefed A," «Milkfed
B" "Selected A," "Selected B" and
"Selected C." Grading of t'he birds in
this manner enables the householder
to choose good dressed poultry with
great ease. --
Clean up the Hen House.
Every hen house sitiould be cleaned
before putting in the pullet crop. A
good thorough cleaningtconsists of re-
moving the litter an'd alt poultry
house fixtures, such as mash hoppers,
drinking fountains and the like, then
flushing the walla, ceiling, dropping
boards and floor, scraping loose any
dirt that may have a tendency to
stick. After the house has been thor-
oughly cleaned it is ready for a coat
of whitewash. This will improve the
appearance of your hen house, make
it much lighter for the birds and at
the same time help to kill .parasites
and disease germs. A common prac-
tice is to add a pint of disinfectant to
•a gallon of whitewash. Clean,. Com-
fortable quarters for the pullets go a
long way toward increased production
during the winter months.
A Turnip Club.
in the course of a recent address,
lir. John 'Buchanan of the 0. A. C.,
spoke of practical ways of .business
keeping in close touch withagricul-
tural life and he related the experience
of the 'Kitt -anis •Club- of Guelph in
forming a Turnip Club, The Cuelph
district is noted for turnips and grows
6,000 to 8,000 carloads yearly. Eight-
een boys were enrolled and each spon-
sored by an individual Kiwanian.
Each boy had an acre of land and WaS
provided with, seed and fertilizer.
When thinning time came, they held a
turnip -thinning contest, each boy to
hoe his row until the first boy finish-
ed. IW.hile the turnips grew well, this
year for some reason was not a good
season for turnips. When opened up
they were soft irt the centre and the
buyers weudn't take them. 'As a re-
sult of the Turnip Club, groups of
shippers, seedsmen and others were
brought together at the College and a
lot of light was let into the matter af
growing turnips.
Embargo Lifted.
The embargo on the importation of
cattle from the Old Country has been
removed so far as Scotland is con-
cerned, since there have been no out-
breaks of foot-and-mouth disease in
that country over a satisfactory per-
iod. Animals. from Scotland maY
now be imported providing that they
are embarked at a port in Scotland on
a vessel sailing direct to Canada with-
out touching at an English port, The
feed accompanying the cattle for use
en route must also have .been grown
and stored in Scotland. The order
permits consideration of applications
for the importation ot cattle, sheep,
other ruminants, and swine from
!Scotland.

Overseas Apple Market.
/With moderate trans-Atlantic ship-
ments early in November, the demand
for apples in t'he United Kingdom has
been steady with prices slightly firm-
er, reports Andrew Fulton, Ontario
growers' representative. Mr. Fulton
states that he has received spme ap-
ples in recent shipments which were
poorly packed and he points out that
the, shippers cannot expect to receive
top prices. He advises that Green-
ings be packed with all sizes mixed
in the ,one barrel. Baldwins from On-
tario are running to large sizes this
season and are therefore more diffi-
cult to sell. Many of them, however,
are 'beautifully colored and finished.
Mr. Fulton also refers to the excel-
lent ex,hibit of Ontario apples at the
Imperial Fruit Show in Manchester,
which was highly commended by ev-
eryone.
Will Hold Conference,
Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy has an-
nounced that with a view to develop-
ing new solutions to general farm
,problems, lowering farm taxes and
securing better financialterms for
the farmers, •h.e is calling at an • early
date a conference at Queen's Park
with representatives .1 rom, every coun-
ty council in the old.er part of On-
tario. Notices have gone out to the
clerks of all these councils, inviting
suggestions of the proposed con'fer-
en'ce. Colonel Kennedy points out
that in every county council there is
an agricultural committee which with
the co-operation the Department is
ready to offer, should .be able to play
an important part in bringing the
farming industry back to the status
once enjoyed.
