Hints for the Poultryman In order to have pullets laying at their best 'in November and Decem- ber, the months of high-priced eggs, the following points should be ob- served according to the Dominion ;Poultry 'Husbandman: 5ee that pullets'have dry and bright quarters. , ITlave the hooses clean and sanitary without draughts, Give a well-balanced ration and 'be sure to give enough. Don't forget the green feed, pre- ferably clover or alfalfa. +If you have milk give the pullets what they will take. iKeep the laying pullets or those. that are near laying by themselves. IGiwe 'these every comfort and at- tention—they are the money-makers. Your treatment of the pullets now ntay mean profit or loss for the rest of the year. Dispose of hens too old or pullets too young, it costs too mach to feed them,` The time of scarcity is the time to arrange for your market for the whole year, soon.

'Clover and Grass Seed An official report on commercial production of 'clover, and grass seed :n Ontario shows that while The al- sike acreage was slightly less than in 1932 a ,.higher yield per acre resulted in perhaps a ih0 percent. greater quan- tity of seed than in 11932. The seed is slightly smaller than ,usual but of good colour and plump. It is also freer of weed seeds than usual. The 1933 spring seeding of alsike is re- ported as very unpromising in central and western 'Ontario owing to the summer's prolonged drought. (Second cut alfalfa seeded well this year in many districts so that a sub- stantial quantity of good seed is in sight. The quality of the seed is good, being notably free from weed seeds and foreign matter. Thus there should be ample supplies of alf- alfa seed ,for domestic requirements this year. There will be more red clover than last year, with most of it concentrated in southwestern Ont- ario, Sweet Clover is a much below normal crop in the province. More than usual timothy seed is reported in western and central On- tario, but less than Blast year an the eastern part of .the province, In west- ern On'tario ;there was an increase of about 115 per cent and is yielding from 5 to 6 bushels per acre, 'There is 'very little carryover of .timothy from ;East year..The blue ;grass seed crop in 1933 was almost a failure, The Seaforth News Special Offer Extended:a :dew and Renewal Subscriptions TO SUBSCRIBERS NEW OR OLD No matter when your subscription expires, subscribers will save by renewing now.
