News and Information For the Busy Farmer Winter Fair Ontario Provincial Winter Fair, Guelph—December 5 to 7. Beauty Parlors for Dairy Cows An important step in clean milk production is to clip the udders, hips, and flanks of the cows, thus making the daily brushing much easier and more effective. Clipping of the tail, head, neck and shoulders adds to the appearance of the cows, and aids in getting rid of lice, which will mult- iply quickly at this time if not prom- ptly eradicated. A good wet or pow- der shampoo repeated in ten days time will do the trick. Taking More Prominent Part In Export to Great Britian Since September, Canada has com- menced to take a place among the more 'imp'ortant suppliers of eggs to the British markets. Some 128,000 dozen of eggs were exported during that month. Prices to Canadian prod- ucers have recently improved steadily. Fresh receipts of eggs are somewhat scarce and continued firmness in price is probable. Those p roducers who wisely hatched or purchasedearly chicks, are in a position to at least make some profit as a result of a- dopting firm -doptingfirm' business methods. Can- adian eggs continue to be exported in fair volume. The Toronto and Montreal markets continue very firm. • Honey Exports Increasing Domestic Price is Rising Indications are for a shortage of honey in Ontario next spring, report- ed the Ontario Marketing Board re- cently. Total white honey exports of all grades from the Province are now` in excess of 300 tons, which taken together with crop variously reported from 40 to 50% less than last year, and with u al exports from the n s bs -tantip Province of Quebec, leaves the entire domestic market cleaned up of all surplus supplies. Prices are rising to producers users and few beekeepers. are selling bulk lots for less than 8 cents per pound f.o.b. shipping point for top grades. This is an increases of ap- proximately 2 to 3 ,cents per pound as compared with 1081, The British market is reporting a lively interest in Canadian honey this year due, somewhat, to the fact that a world shortage of this erop is re- ported, except for domestic product- ion in England. In addition, the be- nefit of the Imperial Perference A- greements, which give Empire honey a protection of '7 shillings per long cwt., are being realized to the max- imum for the first time this year since their adoption. Ontario Fruit Storage The cold storage warehouse recent- ly erected at Woodstock, Ontario, with its 10,000 barrel capacity is an- other unit in a chain of cold storage warehouses that gives Ontario facil- ities for 200,000 barrels of apples. The warehouse has facilities to handle the storage of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Unfinished Hogs All unfinished hogs offered at the stockyards and packing plants, such as do not conform to the require- ments of the grading regulations are graded as feeders, and it is in the in- terests of the producers to make ev- ery effort to hold back hogs of select bacon, and bacon weights, until they are properly finished. Underfinished pigs make soft bacon and poor cuts and roasts. Juniors Create Interest at Ottawa Winter Fair The Junior Department at the Ot- tawa Winter Fair again brought out a large number of competitors and keen competition :resulted. The vari- ous competitions also created a good deal of interest on the ringside, The two-day program included classes op- en to Caif Club members, showman- ship competition and Inter -County Competitions in the judging of live stock and seeds. In the Calf Club competitions, 54 club members exhibited their calves. In the Holstein section, the .group from Prince Edward County won the high honors against strong competi- tion. In the section open to Ayrshir- es, the group from the Williamstown Ayrshire Club, Glengarry County, re- peated their win which they made at the Central Canada Exhibition, Iii' the beef section, the group from Ren- frew also repeated their win made at the August show. The Showmanship classes brought out 68 competitors and the officials, H. W. Graham of Kemptville and A. D. Runions of Peterborough, found it difficult to snake the awards, so pro ftcient have the young men become in exhibiting their animals. The Inter -County Judging Compe- titions also maintained their usual in- terest. The Inter -County Live Stock Judging Chompionship for Eastern Ontario was wort by Lanark County team In the Seed Judging, Renfrew County was victorious, Other features which attracted a gooddeal of. interest in tne live stock department, were the county herds andi inter • county pens of sheep and hogs. In the former, LanarkCounty wasawarded the premium honors in th.e 'Holsteins and in sheep, Carleton County pen was •victorious, .while .in hogs, the honours again went to Lan- ark County. Milk Coling During the Colder Months Do not attempt to cool milk by setting the cans out-of-doors, even in frecaing weather; It takes far too long for the milk to cool to 50 de- grees F., for air is a good insulator but a poor cooling medium. Use a cooling tank with water as cold as possible, and keep the level up to the necks of the cans. Watch the Seed Fairs • The adaptability of different vari- eties of grain to different soil and climatic conditions is reflected to no small extent in the degree of develop- ment attained by individual kernels. Varieties which consistently win high places at our seed fairs are therefore likely to be at least reasonably well suited to the district from which they come. Moral: Watch the winners at the seed Fairs! Too Many Green Apples On British Markets. Arrivals of Canadian apples at the l rate of 150,000 to 250,000 barrels a week have knocked the bottom out of the British apple market for the time being, as supplies of this magnitude far exceed the demand in the early part of the season, when English ap- ples have not yet been disposed of. Green apples, and particularly On- tario Greenings, are in excessive sup- ply on the British markets, says An- drew Fulton, Overseas Fruit Repre- sentative. Where Ontario growers have the advantage of cold storage facilities, Mr. Fulton considers that it is likely to pay to hold suitable var- ieties back for shipment after the New Year. It is colour and not variety that sells Ontario dessert apples in Great Britain, and poor prices are being ob- tained for otherwise good fruit that is lacking in colour. Buyers are dis- criminating against green or partly green fruit, largely because the mar- kets generally are in a congested state owing to excessive supplies. Some specially fine coloured Snow apples sold as high as 22 shillings a barrel, while similar apples with less colour off the same steamer sold from 13 shillings upwards. In . the first week in November, choice On- tario Jonathans in barrels, being scarce, made from 22 to 27 shillings a barrel. On the .other hand, beauti- ful No. 1 Greenings were selling from 12 14 shillings, simply because to g, pY there will be large quantities of low- priced English cooking apples avail- able until Christmas ,and these fix the price level of all cooking apples. :Mr. Fulton adds that there is only one place to store apples and that is in Ontario. Th bulk of the Green- ings l` ings he had examines" this season Would not stand cold storage in Great Britain after arrival there, as they ail showed indications of some degree of ripeness. It has been his experien- ce 'ricn- ce that once Greenings have been car- ried at a warm temperature and have started to work, cold storage will not retard the ripening process sufficient- ly to warrant the extra expense in- volved.

CHIEF IS ATTACKED BY TRANSIENT Hobo Refused Meal, Makes Trouble For West End Residents Chief of Police James V. Ryan narrowly escaped serious injury on Wednesday morning when a transient whom he was attempting to arrest, threw a pair of scissors at him. Only the agility of the Chief in throwing up an arm, saved him from possible facial injury. The scissors, pierced the Chief's sleeve and drew blood. The transient, who had spent the night in the town hall, refused the meal that was offered him and refus- ed to work the buck saw on the wood pile. Making his way up John Street, he stopped at the home of Col. R. S. Hays and asked for a meal. When advised to go to the town hall, he is said to have spoken impertinently' and left. As the transient went out the walk Mrs. Hays saw hirn pick up a pair of scissorsthat had been lost a few days before and asked him to return them, but he refused. It was then that Chief Ryan was called. After making stops at, other west end residences, the transient headed. up the highway "towards. Clinton. Chief Ryan in: a car driven by George Hays and accompanied by Hugh Oke, caught up to him a short distance beyond Harpurhey cemetery. When he refused to hand over the scissors, the Chief began searching him only to have the scissors sud- denly thrown at him. The knight of the road then broke away, running across the fields. The Chief fired four shots in the air in an effort to stop him, but to no avail. The scissors were recovered and Chief Ryan telephoned neighboring towns to be on the lookout for . the character. Transients were a source of worry to officials on Tuesday and. Wednesday of this week. On Tues- day night three men applied for meals and a bed but were so drunk; and dis- orderly they had to be locked up — Seaforth Expositor..
