The official hog grading staff in
Ontario under the direction of Le W.
Pearsall at Toronto is doing an ex-
cellent work, apart altogether to
grading duties. The outside men in
particular located at Peterboro, Ham-
ilton, Kitchener, and Stratford are
constantlyy on the go throughout•the
country giving demonstrations at
shipping points, visiting farms where
hogs are brod, and offering sugges-
tions and assistance in procuring bet-
ter breeding stock for the farmers.
These men work hand in hand with
shippers and drovers, giving useful
service to farmers' clubs. ; The ship-
pers and drovers are glad to have
their assistance on shipping days to
give demonstrations on grading,
where to locate farmers that are
looking for information in connection
with their hog raising. .
Quite a number of boar clubs were
organized during the past few months
following the swine marketing cours-
es. A number, of these clubs were
desirous of obtaining bettersows and
through the efforts of the graders
many bacon type sows are salvaged
from shipments to the packing
houses and sent out to farmers look-
ing for a better class of breeding
stock. In one week a car load of
forty sows were shipped, to a Farmers'
Club in North Middlesex. Twenty-
eight of these were selected at Kit-
chener and twelve at Hamilton. They
are reported to be a very fine lot of
sows and the . farmers who received
them were delighted with their ap-
pearance. These sgws cost the fann-
ers
armers e29 each laid down at their rail-
way siding. This included the near-
ket-Piece for the hogs plus feed and
a 'small fee for other incidental ex-
penses.
One of the most successful market-
ing courses was held at the town of
Smithville in the Grimsby district.
This was featured particularly by an
illustrated lecture to the high school
boys, given at the request of the prin-
cipal of the school. Although Smith-
ville district is noted more particu-
larly for fruit than for hogs, a keen
interest was shown in the subject.
The bacon hog fair ''•is becoming a
popular institution, particularly in
Western Ontario. These have been
encouraged at the short course meet-
ings and a number of localities have.
asked for fairs as early as they can
be arranged. The agricultural repre-
sentatives find in these fairs °a. class
of work which brings encouraging
results. The Peel County represen-
tative was urging for a fair in his
district. The. Rockville Agricultural
Society is also anxious to have a fair,
according to Mr. Earl Rudd of Rock-
ville.
The hog graders returning from
some outlying sections report hogs
going to market under weight as a
result, it is believed, of a shortage of
feed. A prominent packer discussing
thematter of present hog shipments,
expressed the opinion that continued
buying on grade would help greatly
to discourage shipping light hogs and
expressed the view that with the
baste price being placed on "selects,"
a rapid improvement might be looked
for. • .
1be earliest and most conspicuous
symptom of powdery mildew is the
curling upward of the leaves of the
strawberry plant so that the lower
surface is exposed. The white downy
mycelium of the fungus which causes
the disease will be seen on the up -
`turned under surface of the leaves
In •severe cases the leaves become dry
and the` plants'" may be'' totally de-
stroyed. If the attack occurs before
picking time there may be almost a
complete failure of: the crop. A new
bulletin on the strawberry, distribut-
about 1 lb. of salt each month. For
small flocks mix in proportion.
For pregnant cows feed the potas-
sium iodide on the salt in the same
way as, for ewes, but it may be found
that some cows tape very little salt.
In this case give the; cow a quarter
teaspoonful of finely -powdered potas-
slum iodide once each week in the

"The women hen lives a life which

mist. A lay preacher, as it were.
ed by the Publications Branch, Dept.
of Agriculture, .Ottawa, gives com-
plete instructions for the, control of
this disease. The use of sulphur dust
has given good results. It' should be
applied on the first indication of mil-
dew, and it is generally necessary to
make at least three, applications. The
sulphur may be applied by using a
dusting machine, by. shaking through
a- sieve, or by shaking a cotton bat
filled with the sulphur over the rows.
It has also been shown that even dur-
ing seasons of severe infection, mil-
dew may be practically eliminated by
four applications of 85-15 lime -copper
dust at 12 -day intervals.
In his report .for last year just
published at Ottawa the Dominion
Animal ' Husbandman (Mr. G. 13.
Rothwell, B.S.A.) deals with the -very
desirable regulation of swine supply.
He very rightly points out that the
production of swine in this country is
seasonal' or periodic with the result
that the supply of marketable hogs -
is undesirably irregular, and adds
that the British market ,forms the
pattern to which we must mould our
hogs, both in type and regularity of
production. The bulk of the supply
in Canada reaches the market between
September and January with a falling
ofi in the spring and the summer.' This
condition of affairs is' reflected in tate
remarks Mr.
trend of prices andhere,
Rothwell, are wide possibilities', for

raise fall as well as spring litters.
After a suggestion that the average
farmer can advantageously regulate
the breeding, a table is given in tho
report which the Dominion usband
pian thinks aright meet the two -litter-
a -year plan. According to this table,
for the spring litter the sew aheuld
be bred somewhere between the mid-
dle of `November' and December 20
and she will then farrow from about
March 6 to the middle of April. She
should be given two or three weeks
to' get on the up grade and for. the'
fall litter could be bred from about
the first week in May to June 10 or
12, so that she would farrow by the
end of September or by October 3rd
at the latest.

Wife -Beating.
Manchester Guardian (Lib.): Ac-
cording to one of the London evening
papers, a Paris court has decided that
in certain circumstances a French
husband may beat his wife; it was
held, according to report, "that the
blows the woman received were justi-
fied by the irritation her conduct had
caused her husband" . , The propo-
sition that the modern Frenchman is
entitled to beat his wife had better
be set beside the French belief that
when an Englishman is tired of- his.
partner all he has to do is put a halt-
er round her neck and sell her at
Smithfield. Some Englishmen of the
tower order did at one time sell their
wives, and it was once firmly believed
among both French and Germans that
it was a'well-recognized and thorough-
ly established custom of the country.
In the matter' of fundamental impro-
priety there is not much to choose be-
tween wife -selling and wife -beating,
so that the two legends can now be
set against each other in order to bed-
ance the account.

AN EXPERT'S OPINION.
All of which seems to confirm the
opinion of Mr. E. S. Jordan, of the
Traffic Planning and Safety Connuit-
tee of the National Automobile Cham-
ber of Commerce, that you can judge
a driver's character by the condition
of his car, and also by the, way hal
passes you on the road. On this lat-
ter point he is. quoted thus by Nell l
Ray Clarke in the Philadelphia Pub-
lic Ledger:

Some time ago an official of the
A:A.U. interviewed a number of na-
tionally known safety experts, lead-
ing traffic engineers, famous racing
drivers, traffic officers of long ex-
perience, .psychologists and ordinary
drivers in order: to try to - determine
the standards by which a driver could
measure his own competency and effi-
ciency. Character qualities are inex-
tricably woven into the six essentials
of a good driver which were brought
out by those interviews. They are:
1.• : The good driver has a high de -
'gree of self-control at all times, this
control manifesting itself in various
ways.
2. The good driver always main-
tains his car. in such. shape that it
responds easily and quickly, thus -as-
