News and Information For the Busy Farmer r[+!rr shed ' by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture 'They Do Make Good There is food for thought in the fact that .out of the fifteen times Can- ada bas won the wheat championship nt. the International Exhibition, it has been wontwelve times by English- men who .came to the Dominion with- out previous farming experience. Live Stock Instruction 'Short course students as well as -regular students attending 0. A, C. :are afforded an opportunity to bene- fit by all the activities of the Depart- -merit t of Animal Husbandry which has charge'of the well equipped Live -"Stock Farm. For the last two years the Stock and Field Crops Short Course has been extended from two weeks to a month's duration, which is so divided that considerable time is; allotted to ,the judging of the prin- ' ea:?-> la`sss of live stock and discus- the important problems of feed - and management common to each s. ` The 1930 calendar offers an itional privilege to the Short Cour- students in the form of a six-day urse in farm meats. Live Stock at 0. A C. The live stock at 0. A. C. hasg one into winter quarters in satisfactory condition despite the shortage of fall pasture. This year the college brood snares had an extra fine lot of foals of the good draughty type needed to improve the horse industry, They are in, good growing condition and for the present ,fill an important place in live stock teaching work. Quite a number of cows and heifers in the beef barn are nursing very promising calves and the situation for instruc- tion work in beef cattle' is favorable. In the dairy barn, students are able to work on ring after ring of dairy cattle that are typical representatives of their respective breeds. The sheep population on the farm has been in- creased and sheep breeding projects can be carried on more extensively than in recent years. The swine herd is up to strength. This herd provides material for class -room and, slaughter house instruction, as well as hogs for experimental purposes. The breeding stock have a number of fall litters that are quite promising. It will be seen from this review that the De- partment of AniinaI Husbandry is do- ing its part in building up the live stock industry of the province. Water For Hens An egg contains a large amount of water and the hen's body is likewise composed for a great part of water. The hen should drink approximately twice as much water by weight, as USiN[SSA�CUNTS Business inen appreciate .e competent service with which business accounts ars ended by The Dominion Man et 6 she eats feed. One hundred hens that are laying' should consume about four gallons of water per day.'. In view of these facts it is apparent that the wa- ter supply is particularly important, more so during the winter ,months. Failure to supply water properly hin- ders digestion and will cause consti- pation, with a resultant curtailment of egg production. Protects Fruit Trees Two methods: are adopted at the Central Experirnental Farm to pro- tect fruit' trees from injury through being girdled by mice and : rabbits. The first one"is to wrap' the trunks of the trees with building paper, and the other one is to encircle the trunk with a wire protector -with a small enough mesh to prevent a mouse from going through it. In either case the, paper or protectors must be put close to the ground, or better still, set in a shovelful of cinders. These forms of protection; should be put on now, particularly on trees up :to six inches in diameter: Crop.

It is hoped that this gathering may be the per - cursor of many such events in other counties of the province. Canada's ` Victories ' Canada's victories at the Interna- tional Live Stock Exposition and. Grain Show in Chicago have been the subject of many eulogistic remarks. Among the coveted honors won by the Doininion were the championship for wheat, grand champion Shorthorn male and female, grand champion Clydesdale 'stallion and marc, cham- pion carlot of market lambs, nunier ous championships in sheep classes, and many prizes in grain and seeds secured by exhibitors : from. Ontario west to Alberta. Probably the out- standing individual 'victory was the capture of first prize for the best bushel of wheat, by ''a hitherto ,un- known farmer from the foothills of Alberta. ` This .impressive showing. once again demonstrates that Cana- da's soil and climate are the most fa- vorable in the world for producing the highest- quality farm products. Current Crop Report Poultrymen in Durham .reported a substantial increase in egg . produc- tion from poultry and in some cases .a 50 per cent. production is declared. The snow and ice have played havoc with the sugar beets remaining in the ground in Essex but interest is main- tained in auction sales at which good prices are reported. The cheese fac- tory patrons in Glengarry have been greatly disappointed and the revenue from that source is half a million dol- lars less than last year. In Huron the prices for cream' have been the lowest in three years. A water shot - j tage is expected in Lanark as a result of the snow and ice blockage of the water sources. In Lincoln, the bright spot of the heavy snowfall seems to be the excellent covering provided for the fall wheat. Middlesex and Perth report pessimistically regarding the condition of the roads and the falling off of milk sales.

Rouse heating is snore than the simple process of maintaining the in- door temperature at that point where one does not Teel Bold, The designers of Present day -"eating apparatus' have done; excellent orlt<considered front that standpoint; but, as a rule, they have neglected to take into account the natural law which governs the re- lation between air temperature and air moisture. The result is that, gen erally speaking, Canadian indoor air. during the winter is excessively dry. This excessive air dryness is injur- ious to health, affecting more par- ticularly the respiratoiry organs and the skin. .It is destructive to wood work and furniture, and to clothing and furnishing fabnis. It also nec- essitates the maintenance of higher temperatures for comfort than with air containing adequate. moisture. Many people believe that excessive- ly dry 'air, conditions are to be found only in houses heated'by certain types of heating equipment„ also that such undesirable conditions may be rem- edied by opening, the windows and admitting,large quatttites of cold out- door ail-. ri "Humidity in House Heating," ,a bulletin recently published by Dom- inion Fuel :Board in co-operation with the Natural Resources "Intelligence Service of the Department of the In- terior, points out that cold air sat- urated with moisture becomes dry on heating -not because moisture has been removed, bin because of its greatly increasedmoisture capacity at the higher, temperature. The air in houses during the winter cannot be otherwise than dry, unless provision is made its the heating equipment, :or by other rneatrs+, to satisfy adequate- ly this increased moisture capacity. M.oreover the 'admissionof large quantities of outdoor air increases to a corresponding extent the moisture which must be supplied for this pui• pose. "Humidity in House Heating,", dis- cusses briefly in ' non-technical lan- guage the essential features of air dryness in house heating -cause, ef- fect,..and remedy. •It explains what is meant by the expression, "relative humidity," and points out that, for health and comfort, indoor relative humidities of from 40 to 50 per cent, should be . maintained t}rrou hotstthe g winter,1t shows aws how a hygrometer is used to measure relative humidit- ies, and points out that the effective control of humidifying equipment de- pends upon results as treasured by means of this instrument, Itr addition to indicating, in a gen- eral way, various types of ltttmidif. ters which may be used, either in eon. junction with the heating equipment' or independently, to supply the mois- ture .for healthful humidification, ` this., bulletin Stresses.''that fact that the evaporation of a few quartswater per: day in the average anadian house dttritg the winter i t tits gives practtcally;:na relief froti't it dryness. The evap nation of from tree or four to twelv rats per day may be necessary; depending upon weather conditions and ventilation. The purpose in issuing "Humidity in House Heating" is not only to fur- ther the cause of good health but to proinote the more efficient em- ployment of the fuel used for house heating; since, the fuel used to main- tain the high temperature of 72° to 75 for comfort under dry air, condi- tions may be used to greater advan- tage in evaporating the water fol•, Healthful, humidification of air at the moderate comfort temperatures so .re- quired.

ATTEMPTED. BLACKMAIL Police have placed Joseph Wilson, of Harriston, under arrest and are carrying on an investigation in con- nection with an' alleged .attempt to blackmail Reeve Edward Forrester, of Kincardine. Corning at election time, the incident has created wide- spreaed interest in '.Kincardine and district. Wilson is out on $1,000 bail on a charge of attempted blackmail. Reeve. Forrester received a letter threatening to expose some ofhis ac- tions if he failed ,to place $50 in an envelope and leave it on the doorway of Young's barber shop ata time de- signated in the missive. Immediately on receiving the threatening letter the reeve notified the police and the case was- putt in the hands. of Constable. Fritter. Following out instructions; the let- ter was left at the place designated, while police authorities looked on from a concealed hiding place. As the police waited, according to,.nnfgr-,m�;., ,„; mation, the youth carne along and, paused in the doorway of the barber shop; glanced around and then con- tinued on his 'way: In a few mom- ents, it is said, he returned and pick- ed up the letter. He was recognized by the police of- ficers, who immediately -gave chase and apprehended him some distance away from the barber shop. Since'. that time the authorities Rave guard- ed theirinvestigations with secrecy. Officers state that a police court hearing' in connection with the, ,case has been set for January 17. AMPUTATE TWO FINGERS AFTER HAND IS CRUSHED Fred Culbert, of Dungannon, on December 29th, was the victim of !a nasty accident when he had the, twos centre fingers of his right hand crush- ed in the gears 'of a cutting box, which was being used on his own farm for threshing beans. It was found necessary to amputate "like fin- gers at the second Thecci g s joint dent occured while he was ,endeavor Ing to move the machine, which h\td'' shifted slightly front'. its proper pogi- tion: The cutting box was dirven by" a gasoline engine.
