News and Information For The Busy Farmer Layers. Need a Real Home While there are many factors that enter into the management of the poultry flock, there is nothing that will have greater influence on the poultry raiser'Vsnecess or failnr•e than the way in which he houses his flock. Birds of good breeding, no 'matter how well fed, will not return maxi- mum profit unless well housed. The poultry house is the hen's home, stud to` be comfortable and give good pro- duction, the house should have pro - per ventilation, insulation and sanita- tion; it should have a proper loca- tion, plenty of light, be dry, and have ample floor space.

Where honey is sold by grade the `grading must con- form to the Canadian standards. The Canadian standards for honey provide a natural classification by color into the four classes: White, Golden, Am- ber and Dark. These classes are in turn graded strictly on tate quality basis as Fancy, Choice or Manufact- urers. The honey grades are especial- ly popular because of the consistency of the application of grade teminol- ogy to the 'product when graded, the inherent quality of the .honey literally speaks for itself. is to kept down. Filially, the milk must be delivered promptly to the distributor, which nEons the farmer turning out anywhere frorn four a.rrt. to six a.m. to milk the cows, cool the milk, and deliver it in time for the householders in the city to find the bottled milk on the doorstep early in the morning, Annual Crop Review The agricultural situation in Ontar- io during 1934 has been featured by a slight decrease in the volume of production due chiefly to small hay, sugar a b r beet and fall wheat yields. Higher prices, particularly for grain and fodder more than offset the ef- fect of the early drought and . the value of field crop production shows a gain of $18,460,000 or 14.8% over last year, The acreage sown to the principal field crops declined from 9,184,900 acres to 8,966,900 acres, a reduction of 218,000 acres or 2.5%. The vol- time of output showed a diminution of 10% from 1933. Crops showing an increase in production were; Spring wheat, oats, barley flaxseed, mixed. grains, buckwheat, fodder corn, corn for husking, potatoes, turnips, rnatr- golds and carrots. Crops showing a decrease were; Fall wheat, fall rye, peas, dry beans, sugar beets, hay and clover, alfalfa, alsilee and sweet cloy - ea Hay crops, fall wheat and fall rye suffered heavily from winter killing and 'unfavourable weather conditions previous to maturity. Spring grains proved to be less affected by drought than anticipated and yields Per acre andtotal yields exceed 1933. The total hay crop amounted to only 4,346,300 tons, compared with 6,182,900 tons in 1933. The late sum- mer and fall 'provided ideal growing conditions and yields per acre of late crop were extremely good. The pros- pects of insufficient hay supplies were lessened by heavy crops of corn and roots and a surprising improvement in condition of pastures, permitting beef cattle to graze from five to sev- en weeks later than last year and thus conserving hay supplies. Dairymen in some counties however, will be oblig- ed to purchase a greater supply of concentrates. In most cases prices of secondary products are not high en- ough to warrant the purchase of hay at present levels and farmers are feeding increased quantities of straw, stocked corn, roughages and molass- es. CANADIANS HONORED BY THE KING Thursday, January 3rd, 1935 Three knighthoods go to Canadians in the king's list of honors and aw- ards made public on New Year's Eve, and 44 lesser titles, eight of them to women. It was the third • occasion lot Canadians to figure in the king's don- orssince the custom was revived by the Canadian Prime Minister, Rt. Hon, R. B. Bennett, a year ago. Chief Justice J. A. ,Chisholm of Nova Scotia is made a knight bach- elor; ColAlbert Edward Gooderhatn, Toronto distiller and philanthropist, is made :a knight commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, and Charles William Lindsay,; blind Montreal piano manufacturer and philanthropist, is a knight of the Or- der of the British Empire, civil divis- ion.

Clean milk may be defined as milk that is free from fist and,, foreign matter, containing comparatively few bacter- ia and certainly none of a disease- producing nature. The first essential is to have, healthy cows. The cows nitist be free from tuberculosis, an- thrax., and other contagious diseases which affect the milk indirectly. In addition, the udders of the cows must be free froth such diseases as mastit- is and cow pox which directly infect the milk with bacteria. Next to heal- thy cattle come the twin factors of clean cattle and clean barns, and any - ane with the slightest , imagination must recognize that, during the seven months a year it which dairy cattle have to be stabled, cleanliness is a big problem, Cows must be clipped and brushed regularly, and they must have their udders and teats washed before each milking. Milking by hand entails perfect cleanliness on the part of the milker, and milking by mach- ine, which is a science, involves some knowledge of the physics of electric motors, internal combustion engines and vacuum primps. Further, clean inille requires clean utensils, as poor- ly washed implements form one of the most potent sources of bacteria in milk, and clean milk must be rap,. idly cooled if the number of bacteria ING'S Stor eliVS 1.9 This is our first "Ad." of the New Year and we wish to re- mind you that January is the winter month in which many wants are supplied.
