It is bottom to � 6, -,...1 ti;,Toronto 'al really constitt x For some time Canada has been steadily climbing to dairy eminence, 'ising step by step,; through improve- ment of stock, until for three succes- sive tirnes she produced a world's champion cow. Such s' ' •b to 1 h been developed all over the Dominion within the brief period of time since the Dominion turned her attention seriously to dairy cattle, that it has occasioned. a demand from many parts of the world, and is yearly exported otn a substantial scale. Nothing, how- ever, has so Summed up Canada's po- sition of eminence in the dairy field as her triumph at the National Dairy Show held recently :at Syracuse,; New York. . At this show the best dairy cattle that could be procured in Eastern Canada came into competition with the superior herds of all the states of the Union and a greater aggregate of cattle than has ever been drawn to- gether in a similar event on the con- tinent. A total of 1,320 dairy cattle were entered, and when it is realized that in many cases only one animal was entered by one breeder, it will be see that the pick of the herds of Am- erica were present to compete for honors. For the purpose of the show the provinces of Canada were given the standing of states, and Ontario and Quebec had its "state herds" in the competitions. HEN -HOUSE LIGHTS HELP POULTRY' PROFITS. During the last few years the sub- ject of artificial illumination for poul- try flocks has been a topic of keen discussion. When; the idea first be- came popular. it was supposed that by some psychological process the hen was treacle believe that she was _going through two days instead of one and naturally the old erroneous adage, "An egg a day" would mean two eggs e day. The process is purely a IShysiological one, however, and not c : one o:fpsychology at all, At present we can find records at most college:plants and experiment stations which all point in the same direction -more winter eggs. The underlying principle of ertifi- 1 illumination is a problem in feed- . It is said that the crop of a hen Contain only enough feed to keep stive tract busy for a period • five hours. In other words, rt winter days a ben goes about 4.30 or 6,00 p.m. We ways attempted to send her • with a full crop, but now we see " net this supply 15 going to be well on ' Its way before midnight .Then where is the heat: and energy to come from for body maintenance? We know that an animal body makes demands on the food and stored materials first for body maintenance. In other words, heat must be supplied. Broken-down tissue must be replaced, energy must be supplied and'the natural secretion must be kept up. These functions we find- take from throe -fourths to "four- fifths of all the feed consumed. The excess, if any, will be used for pro- duction, or in the case of a hen,' for reprodt.ction. We find that in the short winter days the hen has a small amount of excess food to be used for production, due to the short feeding hours and the long hours of inactivity. The economics of artificial lighting reveals an increase in winter produc- tion which means an increase in eggs when the price is high, While a slight increase can be expected in early pro - .duction this is not great enough to add materially to the profits. We really take the heavy spring laying and distribute it over the waiter months while prices are better. Electric, gasoline and kerosene lights are used, but the most econom- ical and successful is electric current. We find many people using gasoline lights and having excellent results. They are not quite as satisfactory, however, for a large plant, due to the labor in tending the lights. Kerosene barn lanterns do not give very satis- factory results, Automatic devices can readily be arranged for electric lights, thus reducing materially the labor, Where electric current is avail- able two forty or fifty W. T. lights will light a pen 18x20 quite nicely. These lights should be arranged at a point slightly forward of the middle of the house and spaced. about evenly from, the ends. This reduces she shadows to a minimum. A single light tends to produce more shadows. The lights may be fastened to a rafter or joist, It is not necessary to drop the light closer than six or six and one- half feet from the floor. A reflector will aid materially in lighting up the floor area, One gasoline lantern'will illuminate a pen 18x20 quite effi- ciently, Since lighting is essentially a feed- ing practice it will be seen that it must bo very regular and never fail- ing. This has led to the use of sev- eral automatic devices being invented,. to turn the lights on and off. This is practical only where' electric lights are available. Many large plants use a time switch. This is an instrument designed to turn the' lights on and off automatically. While the original cost is rather high it is doubtless a good. investment on a large plant where many birds are being kept. We have, however, many simple home- made devices which rank with equal satisfaction and at a much less cost. These usually consist of alarm clock attachments. Possibly the simplest is an ordinary'"tumble switch set out from the wall. The alarm clock is then placed so the winding stern in turning throws the switch'over. 1 have seen several modificationsofthis sane idea, but they are all relatively simple, in- expensive and reliable. Any eine who has a mechanical turn of mind and a genius for invention' can easily -fix up a home-made device at. a very email co55.. EARLY BREAxFAST OR LATE SUPPER. Poultrymen are employingseveral systems of illumination which might !be summarized as follows: - 1. Morning light, 2. Evening light, 3. Combination of morning and evening light. 4. Night lunch method. These possibly explain themselves. Where morning light is used the lights are turned on about 4.00 mm. and off at daylight. This system has an ad- vantage where electric lights are used. No dimming device is required as is' necessary with evening lights. Feed and water can be put in the pens the' niglit before and the attendant gets away from late Hours at work. This system has a strong appeal to the hired man whose interests in the even- ings are not in the chicken coop. The evening light is often used where gasoline lanterns are used. The' lights are put in at dusk and allowed to stay on until 8.30 or 9.00 p.m. A dimming device is necessary with this system in order to get the birds to roost. With lanterns this is accom- plisghhted,by gradually turning down the li: A combination system is commonly used by farmers who make a practice of turning the lights on in the morn- ing when going to do their chores, and again in the evening. The night lunch system consists of allowing the birds to go to roost as usual and putting the lights on about 8.00 o'clock' for an hour while the birds are given a feed of scratch feed. This system is most economical on fuel, the lights being on :but for a short time. It is considered that a fourteen -hour day is .possibly the correct length of lighting. We would not recommend I using lights in excess of: that amount. FEEDING BIRDS UNDER LIGHTS. Birds under lights must be fed more than they otherwise would and must be kept constantly busy, •' The birds are in heavies' production and are ex- posed to just as much severe weather. The grain ration should be increased. Fourteen pounds of grain per day to each 100 hens would not be too much This should be given in four feeds. The common practice where morning lights are being used is to feed the night before for morning, Grain is fed again at 8.00 o'clock, right after dinner, and again before' the birds go to roost. The last feeding should be the heaviest, with a liberal feeding in the morning. If the birds do not con- sume large amounts of grain they are sure to lose in weight and go to pieces in the spring. A dry mash is kept be- fore the birds at all times. It is ad- - visable d-visabie to increase the corn content. ten per cent. to aid in maintaining „lesedy weight. The common practice w "fere evening lunch is being used is to feed, three times a day on grain. In the morning about three pounds; at :noon about two pounds, and at dusk ( about three pounds per hundred birds. Then when the lights are turned on a feeding of about six pounds. In additoin to the above methods, care must be taken to keep a supply oclean f o water before the birds at all times. This is sometimes difficult in mornings when the water freezes over night. If there is snow on the ground I dump the water in the evening and fill the dishes with snow. This will give very good results until water can he supplied a little later in the morn- ing. Do not neglect the green feed and oyster shell. LIGHHTS IN SPRING. Many persons using lights have had an 'unhappy ending to a productive winter by turning the lights off too suddenly in the spring. Any sudden change must be avoided and we usual- ly take from two to three weeks to complete the change, cutting them down gradually a few minutes each day. This should be clone about.April 15. We plan on having the lights off by May 1. The early and late feeding must be continued even after the lights are turned off, Distributing Liquid Manure. A prosperous farmer who owned two hundred acres of valuable land. also maintained a large herd of dairy cattle. The barns were carefully cared far, acid all refuse was collected in a manure pit. One end of the pit contained a sump in which the liquids ran. Since this liquid represented the most valuable part of the manure it was hauled' out onto- the fields as fast as it as- cuniplated, But so much time was consumed when disposing of it in the usual man- I ner'that a more economical means was' sought. The farm owner had a two - ton truck, which was a sort of'a gen- eral-purpose conveyance. It was de- cided to equip this with a tank and, by means of the exhaust gases from the engine, spray the liquids over the fields. The tank 1. held three hundred al - lofts. A faucet six -eighths of an inch in diameter was attached -to the out- let. The exhaust pipe was continued back of the muffler, and it terminated just beneath the rear end of the tank. Fifty cents paid for a heavy gal - vomited iron dustpan of suitable type. This was soldered on the pipe and the seam aleo soldered,so that the ex- haust would emerge and spread fan wise across the upper side of the dustpan. A•short piece of hose was attached to the faucet and brought to within two inches of this outlet. After reach- ing the field, the driver set the faucet to discharge the proper quantity, then went on over the field; the exhaust throwing the liquid over an area from six to fifteen feet wide, depending upon the rate of discharge. • Tho great problem is to learn how to gala wealth honestly and efficient- ly and to distribute it justly while, at the same time. we continue'to live to: getteer as neighbors. time would have been the minutes and with heavy feeders even to twice' was quite through his lunch his boy achieved after all. • actually consumed by the labor itself. a week. .

True, an excess of fat -forming foods would tend to make a bacon bog fat, but in the main, if care is taken in this regard, "type" is the first requisite in the production of a market class. Type is not breed, though it is hard to know where type hardens into breed and where breed blends with type. After' all, both are the resultof. fixed characteristics: breed definitely separated after selective crossings and carried on from generation to genera- tion and type perhaps the same thing within breeds but not yet clear in the line though in the process of besom ing clear.. In the bacon hog we know that the characteristics or the marks ofa type to suit Canada's beet market, -and it must be clearly understood that other types are as important for other mar- kets—are the long body, with an in- born capacity to form lean, tender flesh quickly. In addition the "type'.' must be ready to take a "finish" as near to 200, lbs. as can be. What other approximating the bacon type. It will, of course, be possible to keep on selective treating within these breeds so as 'to produce a clear line, for that is the way in which in the past breeds have been evolved. But it is a long and costly process so far as Canada is concerned. Our market is clearly set for one type. We must get that type on our `farms by the shortest possible method.

My dad doesn't believe in bothering with accounts, but he comes to me time and again and asks how we are coming with this cattle deal and that crop. I'm for accounts, and exacting ones, all the time. Because we keep accounts we know the cheaper method of fattening our cattle. We know the cost of hired labor at harvest of each crop. We don't need to gamble and wait for high markets, for wesell when our cost figures are covered by a fair margin of profit in the market. We've learned what crops in differ-' ent fields pay more mar the fertilizing costs, and, why. Labor and time ex- pended are all figured out.

The results of the competitions were unprecedented, and gratifying to the fullest extent from Canada's point of view. In addition to carrying :off a goodly number of first and seconds and other prizes in the various classes, Canadian herds won the junior cham- pionship for bulls in Holsteins, and the senior and grand championship in the female section for Ayrshires. The state herd award for Holsteins went to the eollectbon of animals of that breed representing Ontario. The similar award for Jerseys also went to the Province of Ontario. The best Ayrshire herd at the show was ad- judge to be that from the Province of Quebec. Thus the premier honors in the three great dairy breeds were brought home to Canada. This was a very remarkable performance as not more than two animals from any one herd can be shown in these classes, and probably indicate more than any- thing else the average quality of the pure-bred dairy herds in Canada, and the showing leads to the eon8lusion that the average quality of Canadian pure-bred herds excels that of the average quality of the herds in the United States. Altogether in the three classes in which it entered Canada took away sixty-three high awards, sixteen for Holsteins, twenty-one for Jerseys, and twenty-six for Ayrshires, against the finest aggregation of dairy cattle ever assembled in one show ring, and rep- resentative of all that is finest in dairy cattle on the continent. There were 190 exhibitors of Hol- steins. Among the sixteen prizes awarded Canada wore, a second for Haley & Lee on Belle' Calamity Wayne; a third for Haley & Lee on Susie Teaks Alban; fourth for W. J, Elgie on Julia Abberlcerk; and a fourth for A. L. Bidet on Jessie La- doga Pesch. Among the Canadian Jersey win- ners were a first for B. H. Bull & Son on Brampton Bright Radiator; second for R.

Buil & Son or; Produce ' of La Prairie's Pride and third to the same breeder on Bramp- ton Radiator's Legacy, QUEBEC SWEEPS AYRSHIRE$. In Ayrshires forty-two exhibitors competed for honors, and it was with- out doubt the biggest -aggregation of quality that has ever been exhibited in the show ring of any exhibition not excluding Scotland. Canadian prize- winners included the state herd, the seeder:azid grand championship in fe- males, the outstanding cow' being Pal- merston Hyacinth Sth of, E. C. Budge, Montreal, while Burnside Blossom Andrietta, the champion cow at To- ronto and Ottawa for R. R. Ness & Sons, Howick, Quebec, was first in her class. Other awards were a .second. for Farm of St, Sulpice, Oka, Quebec, on. Alta Crest Blackstone; third for S. J. Hamilton, St. Eustache, Quebec, on Rowallan' Mintmastee; and first for J. 11. Black, Lachute, Quebec, on Xiil- loch Latest. News. The honor Canada secured will go down to history as one of the most remarkable achievements in livestock circles. The real significance of what such meritorious prizes mean to 'Can- ada and the Canadian livestock indus- try can be•measured in terms of wide - world advertisement, Delegate - rep- resentatives of every country of the civilized world were present as the premier honors„of the greatest; dairy show in the world were handed out to Canada. The awards, secured in the keenest struggle for dairy supremacy and given by the continent's most ex- pert judges, place Canada in the most enviable position, at a most opportune time, and the eleven :, hundred dele- gates, representing thirty -two -differ- ent countries, cannot fail to carry home with theta the fame of the new dairy country and spread the tidings abroad.
