What a Hen Will Eat
It may be interesting at a time
when new means of marketing inci-
_ dental farm, products is vitally impor-
tant, to know what an average lien
f i can convert into eggs during the
course of a year, There could be no
more dependable or authoritative
guide in this regard than the average
of averages of feed consumption in
egg laying contests,determined from
the records -of six successive years
II and averaged from, every province in
a- the Dominion, These figures show
qr that the average hen will consume
=
167,4 pounds of feed a year. Of this
total 83.6 is grain or meal mixture11,
and 22.8 per cent. green feed. "Add to
this 41.2 pounds of milk and the feed
supply straight from the farm totals
e 157.6 pounds per bird or over 93 per
m cent of the feed, required. The sup-
▪ plementary feed included 3.3 pounds
E beef scrap, 1.9 pounds grit; 3,4 pounds
▪ shell, and 1.2 pounds charcoal. A
• flock of 150 hens will convert 8,856
pounds of farm grown feeds into
BA eggs and under ordinary conditions
rj will show 100 per cent. profit over

i In these days when efficiency in

small scale, cow testing is proving
- its worth. . Daily weighings of milk

si,.periodical visits by the Dairy Pro-

ings
= provide a reliable guide to in-
telligent feeding and increased pro-
p duction. The "boarder" cow who will
not earn her keep even with the best
of feeds can be weeded out and the
production from good cows increased,

Cabbage and Carrots
With a plentiful supply available
housewives seem to neglect the econ-
omy and value of Canadian -grown
cabbage and carrots. The Markets
Service of the Dominion Fruit branch
reports that bunched new carrots and
green cabbage from Texas are al-
most completely supplanting the
home-grown product in popular fav-
our, and this despite the fact that the
domestic cabbage and carrots are of
better flavour and quality and can
be bought for, ab�ut one-third of the
price demanded for the imported ar-
ticle.
Production increases
A marked increase in the produc-
tion of creamery butter is indicated
in the current news letter of the Fed-
eral Dairy and Cold Storage Branch.
Preliminary reports received from six
provinces show production for the
calendar year 1930, as follows:—

Deceptive Advertising
Regulations recently approved by
Order in Council define, terms which
may be used only in connection with
Federal Policies of Approval and Cer,
tification for poultry, and only by per-
sons duly entered under such policies
and thereby qualified to use the new-
ly defined terms in respect to their
poultry operations. This applies par-
ticularly to the advertising and sale
of poultry stock and approved chicks.
In addition to giving recognition to
a schedule of terins and defining their
application the regulations defiihe de-
ceptive advertising in the following
terns: "The application, orally or
otherwise, of any word, term or
phrase by these regulations defined
to any poultry product which does
not comply in all respects with the
requirements of the relative defini-

Beautiful
"Beautify yourhome grounds and
help make •Canada more beautiful" is
the slogan which has been adopted
for a campaign to develop personal
interest in ornamental horticulture
throughout the Dominion. Taking
the initiative in the campaign the
Canadian Horticultural Council, with
the co-operation of the federal De-
partment of Agricul.tune through its
Experimental Farms Branch, has had
a booklet dealing with every phase
of "Beautifying the Horne Grounds
of Canada" prepared by a landscape
architect of outstanding ability. This
is 'essentially a practical text book on
the subject, and not only provides
plans and illustrations especially suit-
ed to Canadian conditions but com-
plete glossary of plants, shrubs, trees
and ornamentals of Canadian origin
particularly adapted for Canadian us-
age. A fee of twenty-five cents is
charged for this book, which is be-
ing distributed througlr the Publica-
tions Branch of the Department of
Agriculture at Ottawa.
Eliminating Chick Loss
With the complete elimination of
pullorum which is definitely possible
through the strict elimination of re-
actors in a flock as determined by
the blood test, very considerable sav-
ings to Canadian farmers and poul-
trymen in chick loss are assured,
Tests carried out over a period of
years by the Poultry Division of the
Dominion Experimental Farms indi-
cate conclusively that complete elim-
ination is possible and that chick
mortality from this cause can be sim-
ilarly decreased. Pullorum alone is
responsible for chick losses running
into millions of dollars annualiy,.and
to use the words of F. C. Elford, Do-
tninion Poultry Husbandman, "much,
if not all, of this tremendous loss is
preventable,"
5000 FACTS
ABOUT CANADA
"The Dominion in a Nutshell" is
the arresting sub -title of the widely
known annual "5000 Facts about Can-
ada," compiled by Frank Yeigh, the
recognized authority on the Domin-
ion through his writings and lectures.
This 80 -page booklet, now in its 28th
year, has become indispensiblc to
thousands of Canadians, while it' is
increasing demalui'' from other coun-
tries . desiring to team of Canadian
conditions. 50 chapters, ranging al-
phabetically from ."Agriculture" to
the "West" and "Yukon" tell the
story of the: country's progress in .a
series of brief crisp sentences ` easy
to locate and assimilate—a story that
it both cheering and stimulating. It
is extensively used by governments,
corporations, colleges and schools,
and also a means of "selling Can-
ada" to people in other lands. It is
therefore a most valuable advertise -

ber of townships the councillors have
reduced their own and officials' sal-
aries. In our neighboring town of
Brampton, for instance, the munici-
pal representatives tacked on $5 each
per meeting and the hydro commis-
sioners qiuckly followed suit. Our
opinion is that when a citizen of a
town or village is elected to the coun-
cil he should serve without pay. The
honor should be sufficient remunera-
tion. When a small municipality has
to pay its councillor's it is high time
to change the system. Our present
system of municipal government is
obsolete and inefficient anyway. It
vas all right in its day, but while the
world progressed our municipal sys-
tem of government has not changed.
It is a well-known fact that in ev-
ery council of twelve or fifteen mem-
bers only one or two men.know any-
thing about the science of civic gov-
ernment. .This is easily understood
when you see a shoemaker put in
charge of the waterworks depart-
ment. He may be a first-class shoe-
maker, but he has never familiarized
himself with the business of conduct-
ing a waterworks system. .A compe-
tent druggist is put in charge :of an
electric system, but he knows no-
thing whatever about it. A lawyer
may be able to draw up a steel -clad
will that dissatisfied and disgruntled
heirs could not bust, but if he knew
anything about building roads it
would be purely accidental on his.
part. And so on down the line,
If councillors really insist on being
paid for their services it would be
much better to change the system.
Fortunately our representatives have
not asked for pay, but if it ever comes
to that it would be better and more
economical to appoint a town man-
ager, pay him a good salary arfd con-
solidate all offices, such as clerk,
treasurer, assessor, tax -collector, etc.,
under hixn, with a central office in
the public library building where cit-
izens could transact their business in
one place, At present, as' in village
days, these officials ane ensconced in
law offices, stores and, where many
debtors fear to tread, a collecting
agency. The town manager plane,
where it has been tried out, has in-
variably proved satisfactory.— Or-
