Blaze Believed Indcendiary Fire of undetermined origin ,broke Out' in A. T. Cooper's departmental store, Clinton, at 2 o'clock Thursday morning.

The stock of fancy goods in this depart- ment was considerably damaged by fire, smoke and water. The alarm was turned in before the fire had made headway and the firemen soon had it under control. While there is no direct evidence to substantiate a theory of incendiarism, viewed in conjuction with a fire which occurred in' the same place .and in similar mariner a few years ago, it has that appearance.

CARE OF THE BR..ZEDTNG FLOCK (Experimental Farms Note) As soon as they are dry breeding ewes should be flushed by supplying. a grain ration such as three parts of oats and one part of corn or barley, up to one pound' per day par ewe, or by providing good rape or clover 'af- termath pasture. When the pasture is used care is necessary at the start in order to 'prevent bloating; the rape or clover should be dry and the ewes allowed on it only one or two hours per day at the start. Before breeding the flock should be culled and all ewes that are poor milkers, shy or non -breeders, poor type, or having por teeth should be discarded. For best results the ewes should not be bred until they are a year old. After the breeding season is over the ewes may be wintered on good quality clover hay and roots uutil 2 weeks before lambing, when a grain mixture made up of oats, 3 parts, bran, 2 parts, oil meal, 1 part, should be supplied and the root ration. re- duced. After lambing, from one to two pounds,of grain per day and 3 pounds of roots per ewe together with all the clover hay the ewes will clean up should be fed. During the lambing period every care and attention should be provid- ed, in order to save the lamb crop. Many lambs are lost at this time that might be saved by,a little care and. attention on the part of the attend- ant, and this often means the differ- ence between profit and loss in the year's operation. After the pasture season starts the same close attention is not necessary, provided the pasture is of good qual- ity and a change is made as frequent- ly as possible to reduce the danger from internal parasites. The control of these parasites is one of the major factors in succesful sheep husbandry and the two chief points to keep in mind are frequent changes in pasture and treatment twice yearly with mus- tard-bluestone solution or Nema cap- sules. The flock should be dipped both spring and fall tocontrol exter ASPIRIN lRa CANADA "ECAUSE of a unique process in manufacture, .Aspirin Tablets are made to disintegrate --or e— INSTANTLY y take themoThurs they start to work instantly.

Thisbrief outline is a summary of the practices followed at the Domin- ion Experimental Farm at Nappan where a high class flock of Shrop- shires is maintained.

Canadian Wheat Prized in Japan Owing to the high protein content and excelent milling qualities of Can- adian hard wheat, the Japanese arse it as a standard mixing . substance .with the softer wheats of Australia and other countries from which Japan draws her supplies. All of the Can- adian wheat imported into Japan, is not used in the homes of the Japan- ese entirely. During 1932 ten million bushels of wheat were manufactured into flour in Japan for re-export to China and other eastern c ountries that are also becoming users of wheat products, states the Agricultural, De- partment of the Canadian National Railways. Generally, flour milling companies in Japan use foreign wheat during the first half of the year and domestic wheat during the second half.
