Canada has 100,000 fewerhorses that it had a year ago, despite the fact that• the area under cultivation has:. increased by about a 'million ac- res. The tractor and the combine in Western Canada are primarily res- ponsible, In the east, where mixed farming is the rule, the satne inroads have not been made. In Ontario, not- withstanding the motor car, there are more horses than there were. The total for this prpvince is 606,000. A Real. Opportunity Some idea of the opportunity for Ontariofarmers to develop the ex- port trade in hog and pork products is afforded by official figures with respect to dead meat imports into Great Britain. For the first ten .mon- ths of 1930, bacon imports reached a total of 7414,020 'cwt., valued at £34,- 922,063 :and of this volume Canada supplied only 87,109 cwt., ;,which had a value of £433,955. During the same period imports of hams totalled 865,: 035 cwt., of which the United States supplied 715,352 cwt,, or more than ten times the 70,968 cwt,, supplied by Canada. These we.ne the only two in a long list of dead meat imports in which Canadian contribution' • was large enough to list separately. Rural 'Hydro Grows Latest available figures show a• to- tal of 7,100 miles of rural hydro lines in Ontario and it is proposed to add almost 2,000 more during 1931. Re- duction in rates has a lot to do with the recent rapid growth. Nearly ev- ery county now has hydro in the rur- al districts. The average cost for cur- rent to light the house and barn and nein ordinary appliances such as toast-, crs; washing machines and irons,. is about $5.00 per month. It runs con-: siderablly higher where a :motor and a stove are operated. In addition to,. providing•- needed conveniences, the. developnrent•of rural hydro is expect- ed: to prove one of the biggest fac- tors in improving' farm conditions in Ontario in the future. During- the month of December ov- er 8,00 turkeys were shipped from Manitoulin Island to different parts of Canada, and the United States, The average weight of the birds was about 20 pounds, which speaks highly for, the quality of production there. It is worthy of note that the turkey was introduced into the island for the 'pur- pose of checking a plague of grass- hoppers, which it did effectively, The farmers were not slow, however, to see that there was money in turkeys ealth Service Gambian GRANT EI,»NIING. .1' I O1 THE ,time , *i, ,arhiituu F,ditad'hr NI.P. .`. ASSOCIATE SECRETARY NO ONE NEED HAVE DIP- ( rare. THERIAI ' Diptheria germs, like most other disease germs; select certain parts or tissues of the body in which to settle down, grow and. multiply. Diptheria germs, for example, areusually found in the throat et- nose. It is not the germs themselves that directly injure the body and cause dis- ease, but rather the poison or toxin which they :produce, The 'germs re- main localized in the throat and nose, but • the poison which they produce is carried in the blood to all parts of the body, and so, all parts are subject- ed to damage by the poison coming from the germs which lie in the throat and nose,. When the body it attacked by dip- theira toxin or poison in this way, it immediately seeks to protect itself, and it does so by producing diptheria antitoxin, which counteracts or neu- tralizes the toxin or poison produced by the diptheria germs. Tf the diptheria antitoxin is p`ro- duced quickly enough in sufficient quantity, • the body is victorious, the toxin is overcorne and the patient re- covers. Not only does' recovery take place, but,. as a result of itsexper- ience, the body is prepared, for a time at least, ,to pre;vcrtt•a. recurrence of the disease. That is. whysecond at- tacks of diptheria are comparatively oyal ,;ler ou try Specific Keeps Poultry Free f romW OR M S Mr Win. Jerrott, of Prigden, wrote us a year ago stating that his poultry had. becom, badly infected .with, worms. We advised him to use 2. lbs. of Rival Purple Poultry ',Specific in each 100 'lbs. of Laying Mash for two weeks and continue throughout the Winter with 1 ib, After using it for three weeks he wrote us stating that in three days he noticed blood streaks in the droppings, and that his egg pro- duction had gone up 100%. During the 'Fall, Winter and Spring months he pur- chased 600 lbs. of this Poultry Specific. We received a letter from him the latter part of August, stating that he was amazed at the results he obtained, that his poultry were entirely free from worms, and that during August of this year his production was '100% larger than last year. It will pay every poultryman, 00 matter what feed he is using, or, if he mixes his own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to cath hundred pounds of feed during the whole season the poultry are shut in. While this great tonic de- stroys the worms, it at the same time tones up the birds, keeping their digestive organs active the same as if they were on range, compelling them to take from 15% to 20% more good from the feed they eat, 7fhis'is naturally reflected in increased egg production, . Worms in poultry is often mistaken for other disease,. the birds become very,. thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea. When badly infested they will die.

Unfortunately, in many cases, the body is unable to produce diptheria antitoxin qiuckly enoughor in the quantity required., with the result that the patient succumbs, This is what happens in about one thousand cases each year in Canada. Fortunately, diptheria can be pre- vented; protection against this dis- ease can be gained without facing the suffering and danger of death assoc- iated with the disease. The injection of a substance known as diptheria tonoid, stimulates the body to produce diptheria antitoxin, and so prepares it in advance to deal with any diptheria germs andtheir poisons •towhose attacks the person may be exposed, • The injections of diptheria toxoid are perfectly harmless, and they ren- der the person receiving them im- mune or protected against diptheria, just as he would have been protected by an attack of the disease, but 'with out suffering or danger. Parents can free themselves from- worry lest their children contract dip- theria, Lives can be saved' and suf- fering prevented. The family physi- cian is ready to give the necessary injections of toxoid which immunize the person who receives the injections and protect him from diptheria.

Ruring•.the last four years a series of fcur educational exhibits have been placed at the International by O. A. C. The first one referred to the use of legumes .in crop rotations; the se- cond to the development and use ful- ness of the Canadian type of bacon hog, the third to Canadian lamb,, and the fourth, to Hardy Alfalfa, These exhibits have not only been of out- standing value at the big exposition, but have also been a splendid med- ium of advertising for Ontario pro- ducts.

Experimental Union Gathering Prominent agriculturists from all.' parts of Ontario were in attendance at a banquet given last week in con- nection with thw 52nd annual meet- ing of the Ontario Agricultural and Experimental Union at O.A.C. Prais- l ing the wonderful work carried on by the Union, Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, issued a very strong appeal to the young men of Ontario to stay on the farms and be proud of their calling. Dr. Archibald, director of the Ontario Experimental. Farm at Ottawa, and Mr. J. B. Fair- bairn, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, also delivered, `addresses. A strain of optimism pervaded the address of Mr. D. Z. Gibson of Caledonia, president of the Union, who in referring to pre- vailing unsatisfactory conditions in the farming industry, declared that fanners should in no way be discour- aged, as similar conditions have been experienced before, "History repeats. itself," he said. '''Phe past is a guar- antee of the future, And just as an era of prosperity followed the ser- ious depression of 35 years ago, so there will conte in the near future better times for the farmer as well as for others." Experimental Work At the Experimental'. Union gath- ering in Guelph last week, the secre- tary, Prof, W. J, Squirrell, reported that material had been distributed in 1930 for a total of 48 co-operative •experimental projects which covered practically all of the cultivated crops of Ontario. The work was entirely. voluntary on the part of the experi- menters, this constituting a big fac- tor in the Seeress achieved, Presi- dent Gibson stressedthe value of co- operative experiments in enabling the farirter in his particular locality to decide what variety is best for his soil. "Successful farming," he declar- ed, "depends on successful• crop grow- ing. But that is only half the story. Livestock should interlock with crop production, and Ontario farmers mttst include good livestock in their • business in order to be prosperous." Advice to Dairymen Canada's dairy' industry wilt'recov- cr from its slump and dairymen once more will he on•the'road to',proaper- ity, when those connected with the in- dustry realize that quality is the all- iniportant factor, J. B. Griffen, secre- tary of the Ontario Milk Producers'. Association, told delegates to the -an- nual convention of Eastern Ontario Dairymen at Cornwall last week. He urged herd owners to keep only pro- fitableusing stock, ng 'the scales and the Babcock test to eliminate "boarders" from their herds. He pointed out that the Canadian farmer must cut his own costs to the minimum in order to. successfully compete, with those of nations' where production costs are low. R. W. Wade, Director of the Ontario Iivestock Branch, also deliv- ered an address, declaring that Can- adians would buy more Canadian cheese if the quality were' guaranteed. He felt that consumers should be Lei - tical and demand the best. _ Short Courses Prove Popular The three month courses in agri- culture and home economics which opened in December last are proving quite popular in their respective corn- munities. Eight such courses are be- ing held by the Ontario Department of Agriculture in as many different counties, namely Bruce, Hastings, Lincoln, Middlesex, Norfolk, Water- loo, Wentworth and Mork. An aver- age of 38 young men were enrolled in the courses in agriculture and 28 wo- men in liome economics courses dur- ing the month of December. In ad- dition to these, 34 one-month courses are being staged in as many different counties or districts by the agricul- tural representatives during the mon- ths of January and February. Short courses'in agriculture were first insti- tuted in 1912. Since that time, 638 month's courses in agriculture have been held with an attendance of 17,- 852, This is an average o:f, over 33 per year with 'an average attendance of 28. The first three -months' courses in agriculture and home oconomics were staged` in 1921-2. Since then 71 such courses have been organized with a total attendance of 2748 boys and 3080 girls.
