To secure the :benefits of the policy at least one car of stock (20 head of cattle or 40 lambs, .or a com- bined car, figured on 2 lambs as the equivalent of one beef animal) must be purchased, ;Stock purchased is sub- ject to approval as to type and suit'a'bility by the official representa- tive olf the Dominion ,Live Stock Branch serving the point of pur- chase. Immaturity and Culls Injure Fruit Business. Ontario growers are again advis- ed against the practise 'of p'lacin'g im- mature fruit on the market, C, E. Broughton, of the 'Ontario M'arketin'g 'Board` -reports that, only recently, he noticed a quantity of plums on the .Toronto, market wh'i'ch should have been left on the trees for at least another two;: weeks. Another practice, detrimental to the business as a whole, is tinat ,of sell- ing cull fruit to jobbers who are 'de- 'fin`itely in the market for this quali- ty of p.roduc't. Generally, it does not seem to be known that there is a law against setilin'g culls, unless these are being transported 'direct to a processing pl'an't, to he used in the man'uEacture of apple by-products, !According to Mr, ,Brough'top, growe.ns should co-operate in an ef- fort to keep the market .free front culis.

Poultry is at last definitely reico'g nized as one of the essential: depart- ments of every up,to-'date farm where a program of ; mixed farming is car- ried on. Not only is it recognized as a necessary department of farm work hut more and more farmers are c'o'm- ing fo realize that for the c'apita'l in- vested and labor in'vo'lved there are few 11 any department's .that give as high returns.
