News and Information
For The Busy Farmer
Planting Early Cabbage
Early cabbage is a very good mon-
ey crop. More value may be obtained
from an acre of it than from the
same acre devoted to many other
crops. Seed sowing should be done
early in March and the plants grown
in flats or thumb' pots and later put
in four inch pots. Hardening off be-
fore planting in the field is very im-
portant, This will make the plants
frost hardy. As soon as the plants
show „signs of growth in the open
field, apply a side dressing- of nitrate
of soda.
Time to Castrate Piga
The early castration of market pigs
has marry advantages which should
not be overlooked by breeders.
' Young pigs are easily handled, suf-
fer very little and heal' quickly, With
a small percentage of losses, if the
operation is property performed"and
necessary precautions are take•to pre-
vent infection.
At . the . Dominion Experimental
Farm, Indian Head, pigs far market
purposes castrated previous to
weaning time. Pigs to be •weaned at
six weeks are castrated at one niorith
of age or if weaning is done at eight
weeks they are castrated when about
six weeks old. Experience at this
I+arrn has shown that nursing pigs
suffer less set -back and heal more
r=npiclly ,with a smaller percentage of
losses, than older pigs,

Cut Hog Costs
While hogs have been climbing to
the best price reached since 1931,
,.
Clark Young b of Milliken, Ontario has
been busy establishing a world's re-
cord for cheap production. He re-
ports a hundred pounds gain for ev-
ery 281 pounds of feed which is eight
pounds. better than the recordof the
Indian State College, previous holder
of the record. Authorities at the On-
tario Agricultural College consider
one pound Of pork gain for every four
and one half pounds of feed decided-
ly above the average. Mr, Y otr,ng

sents more than $13.00 net profit per

only have Mr. Young's s hogs been fed
cheaply and quickly (they were mar-
keted 01 six months) but the quality

tain, where the pork was marketed,.
