46,111O,T`HER ONTARIO VICTORY
(iToronto Globe)
;&3narie exhibitors did well at the
World's Grain Show held in. Regina,
sere, incompetition with grain-
.growers from many lands, they, secur-
,ad an impressive number of prizes.
This success has been capped by the
roricznry of Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege students in the intercollege grain
judging competitions. ' A Saskatche-
wan '2n .University team was second, and
its order, followed representatives'.ii
All erta British Columbia, North Ca
orolina, 'Oklahoma, Manitoba, Minne-
=eota,-inbraska and. Iowa.
The Ontario team scored 4.639 of a
«possible 6;600 points, and lir. Bruce
Marshall Cohoe of Woodslee, Ont..
-received a scholarship award valued
at 5600 for scoring the highest indiv-
idual aggregate, 1,6;1¢ points, The
other members of the winning team
+were Mr. 'N. D. Hogg of Orono, and
"Mr. A. W. Archibald of .Seaforth.
This is a notable achievement, a
-tribute to the individual members of
the team, and to the staff of the Ag-
ricultural "College. Victory over com-
•nefitors from abroad- was no doubt
easier of achievement than when .the
Western judges entered the lists. As
evidenced by their triumphs in the
wheat competitions, and consistent
:success with other grains, these Wes-
tern men literally are saturated with
:knowledge of the products of the
::arm. Agriculture is their life work;
-they are, as it were, busy in the gran-
ary of the world. In view of this, On-
tario well may be proud of the record
she has established at. Regina -proof
that the farmer of this Province no:
only know how to grow grain, but,
also how to pass judgment upon the
t rest produced in any part of the
world.

CULLING THE LAYING FLOCK
(Experimental Harms. Note)
With the general low price of poul-
try products now prevailing, it be-
hooves$the poultryanan to keep his
cost of production as low as possible.
;Present economic conditions call for
the elimination- of the undesirable and
unprofitable hens .from the farm `flock
thereby increasing the quantity and
improving the quality of eggs pro-
duced and decreasing the cost of pro-
duction by a saving of feed, housing,
and management wanted on the non- •1 i
producing or low -producing hens.
It is, important to be able to distin-
guish between the -laying and the non -
laying birds. If a •bird is layisag the
comb will be red and full, the vent di-
lated and moist, the pelvic bones thin,
pliable and wide apart and the abdo-
men large, soft and pliable, while if
no.t,Iaying the comb will be pale or
whitish colored,. the vent contracted
and dry, the pelvic bones rigid and
close together and the abdomen firna
or hard. In a yellow -skinned bird the
beak, vent and sham.&of a heavy layer
are pale yellow - or white in colour,
whereas the beak, vent and shank of

ing a long rest are usually bright yel-

The and l h
a t a d typ oo fthe la • rs �
layers
are also important points to be taken
into consideration in culling. Only
those birds that are healthy and vig-
orous and that Isaac a wide back of
good length, combined with a deep
body should be retained in the flock.
(One other important feature that
should be kept in ,mind, in culling is to
note the time of the molt, As a rule
birds that malt before the 'first of
September are poor layers " while
,those that molt later in the year are.
good layers. 'The -.latter part of Aug-
.ust is,. then, an excellent period for
culling • the laying flock and at that
time all hens that have quit laying
should be culled.
The above mentioned factors are
kept in mind when culling the laying
flock at the Dominion Experimental
;Station, Lacombe, Alberta, ' A close
watch is always kept on the flock for'
anyoutstanding boarders and these
are marked and disposed of in Chelate

FAGOT STITCH IYA'RNSNG
,When the holes in stockings are
large and well established, particular-
ly in the case of heavy hose, the space
may be filled in quickly and firmly by
taking stitc'hes which are in effect like
a fagoting stitch. Instead of just
catching the edge, as is done when
fagoting is used for a trimming, run
a few stitches into the fabric and back
to the other side, so as to form a
crossing of stitches. Lay these in the
narrow way of. the hole, if there is
such a Acing, being careful not to al-

makes a bulging darn which is both
unsightly and uncomfortable, When
the aperture, as we will call it for a
change, has been bridged over in, this ,
inanner, run in the lengthwise threads
to hind it The result is a darn that is
pleasing in appearance and is mach
more interesting to' do.
(Where a large darn is necessary it
is not ,well to use the egg-shaped
darning mold. When the stocking is
drawn over it there is, of course, a
tendency to spread the edges and the
bulging darn mentioned before is the
, result. A darning foot may be had,
, instead. It is fiat on one side, very
smooth, is made of wood, attd has a
convenient handle.
