News and Information For The Busy Farmer Look After Ice. House At this time of the year a .farmer should thoroughly inspect his ice house. Repair any little job before it •becomes a big and costly job. If, for instance, a batten is rubbed off the ice house by live stock, rain will get behind the studding, and decrease the value of the insulation and start rot in the still, studs and heathing. Heavy Cattle in Demand' At present, according ; to the On- tario Marketing 13oard, there is it de- finite demand at the Union ,Stock Yards ,for top quality heavy cattle,. with strong prices prevailing Recently a ,choice lot' of this 'class sold at six anti one -hall cents a lb, These cattle were smooth and well- finsued, weighing upwards of fifteen hundred pounds. :With the surplus relieved, as a, re- sult of last year's export trade, feed- ers should profit by marketing prop- erly -finished eBay -finished cattle of this weight, Sow Thistle MVIenaee Determinedthat sow thistle be stamped out within the confines of its area, the Council of the County- of. Rent have had a conference with Tton. c't'. L. Kennedy, .ittiliister of Age ieul- tete. Colonel KomedyThee c'rlTercd his as. sistanec, and has promised to prepare revisions of The Weed Act, enabling local weed control measures more ef- fectively. A definite organized ram- paign' is now being prepared, consist- ing of newspaper publicity, special sow thistle lessons in all :schools - of tate county, and a stringent clean -op of all waste and cltitivatcd land dur- ing the growing season. Henhouse Ventilation The removal of moisture is a major problem. in poultry houses, Poultry have not sweat glands, but they give off relatively large amounts of vapour in respiration and through the akin. It was found at one experimental ste- tion that maximum egg production was obtained when temperatures were not permitted to fluctuate widely. A henhouse temperature at 50 degrees F. is too high to be maintained on most farms in winter without artific- ial heat, Hence, a lower temperature ltelcl uniformly would be desirable. In- creasing numbers of poultrymen have had success with artificial heat prop- erly regulated, but failure has com- monly resulted when temperatures were allowed . to go too high or to fluctuate widely. Dairy Cattle Rings A common affection of cattle at this time of: the year is ringworm. This can be easily controlled if taken in time, Wash the part with soap and water to 'remove crusts; scraping if necessary, then dry the spot and paint with tincture of iodine, repeatng the treatment daily until cured. Sulphur ointment or any good smothering ointment if used conscientiously will 'also give good results. Beware of Weed.

Pruning Sholud Be Done During the Dormant Season Pruning, as practised by the com- mercial fruit -grower, should have two essential objects: first, to train the Arthur H.
