Fish Meals and Live Stock In the field of ' live stock feeding, fish meal has proven a rich source of nutrients_ It is fed particularly for its protein and mineral content, and the percentage of these ingredients determines its value. There are three • factors which have retarded the more widespread use of fish •ieal, says the Fish Meal and Oils bulletin, just is- sued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture. First, there is its rath- er high price in comparison with the price of other feeds; second, the lack of definite information regarding its' use; and third,• a variability in the product. The feeding of fish meal has been confined largely to swine, but it has also been used successfully for dairy cattle, and in a limited way' for .oth- er live stock. Growing market ani- mals and milking cows seem best adapted to utilize fish meal and other high protein feeds combined with carbonaceous grains. Fish meal is re- tenance ration of breeding animals, but the percentage used should he lower than that normally used in the growing ration. Facts About Cheese Cheese has been used as a food for man from prehistoric times and its manufacture is one of the oldest tech- nical arts. In Canada the early French settlers brought the art of making cheese from. France, a surviv- al of this early industry being found at the present day in the Fromage Raffine which is made in the Isle of Orleans. Over 100 years ago the United Empire Loyalists brought with them to various parts of On- tario a knowledge of the manufacture of the Cheddar type of cheese. This type is practically the only kind now made :in Canadian cheese factories. All Canadian cheese was made our farms until the year 1864, when the first cheese factory was started in Oxford County, Ontario. In the fol- lowing year another factory was op- ened in Missisquoi County, Quebec. The factory system had so. many ad- vantages that it was quickly adopted. There are now cheese factories in every province of Canada, but the greater part of Canadian ' factory^ cheese is produced in Ontario 'and' Quebec, col- lector 00; James Waikom, pt, salary ass E.
