Weir, Minister of Agri- culture, Ottawa, 1931 Shrubbery Adds Charm Carefully planted shrtibbery adds charm and value to the home. Au- thorities agree that best effects are secured by confining the shrubs to the border and tothe baseof the dwelling,leaving an open lawn. In foundation planting shrubs of differ- ent heights should be chosen and the planting arranged' irregularly and so placed as to conceal the alignment • *4„,,,, without completely covering the foundation. Suitable shrubs are. described by the Dominion Hortidulturist in the federal Department of Agriculture bulletin No. 89, which also tells how to go about the planting. ,Keeps Feed Cost Down Suceulent pasture and green feeds bring down the feed costs in hog rais-, ing. Not only do these supply cheap nutriment but they give thrift, en- suring profitable gains from the rich- er feed. According to the federal Depart- ment of Agriculture hogs turned into rape when six to eight inches high, saves the farmer more than . one hun- dred pounds of meal with every one hundred pounds of gain. Alfalfa and red clover are both re- lished but according to Experimental Farm authorities alfalfa is more ac- ceptable, particularly when fed in the quite young stage. Hedges Add' Beauty When Planted. Right Forty years' experience with hedg- es on Experimental Farms has af- forded a wealth of information on hedges. • Of 136 species and .variet- ies that have been tested 84 have sur- vived the rigours of climate andtest for, suitability at the Central. Farm. The information thus •afforded has been set down in a bulletin of forty- four pages written by the .Dominion Horticulturist. The lessons, drawn from experience in all of the prov- inces, bring out the varieties useful foi• windbreaks, screens, .property di- visions, and purely ornameirtal pur- poses. Tobacco for the Sheep Losses from unthriftiness . due to internal parasites in sheep may be reduced by the feeding of tobacco to: the flock. The tobacco {s given with salt in the proportion of ten pounds of salt to one of crashed to- bacco leaf, The leaf should be dried so that it may be broken up in a size equal to wheat bran, This when mixed with the salt, slightly moist- ened, forms a cake which the sheep will lick when placedbefore them in the •field or pen. This: recommenda- tion tion is made by Dr. Lionel Steven- son, author of the federal bulletin "Common Animal Parasites Injurious to Sheep in Eastern Canada," in which be states that fora flock un- used to the tobacco a slightly Jess prpot•tion of tobacco should be used for a week or two at the beginning':. Fruits and Vegetables Preserved by Freezing Discovery of a process to prevent the 'fermentation of fruits and vege tables frozen for storage, has been announced bytheBritish Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, states the federal Department •of Ag- riculture in its Cold Storage .Newslet- ter for April. It has been found that if vegetables are boiled or partially cooked before they are frozen their colour and flavourwill be preserved unimpaired. Boiling, it has been dis- covered, destroys the enzymes com- pletely and permanently, leaving the vegetabls in such a condition that they may be safely frozen and stored in suitable containers, either under liquid covering or exposed to the air. • Useful ,but Expensive Mulching growing vegetables with paper, tested at ten Experimental Stations, proved that most vegetable crops are improved by this system, which eliminates the necessity for cultivation. Such heat -loving plants as the cucumber, melon, pepper and tomato showed the• .most substantial increases in yield. According to the Director of Experimental Farms Sys- tem of the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa, the cost of the paper is high, making its economical case very doubtful in most cases. It is al- so pointed out that it is difficult to keep the paper from being blown about by the wind. East and West Meet The receipt , in Montreal recently of• four carloads, eighty head, of beef cattle from the Macleay ranch at High River, Alberta, marks the '.rounding •out of the Beef Grading Policy of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. A beautiful' lot of cattle, fifty-four head graded Red and twenty-four Blue; they proved a spe- cial feature in chain store merchan- tlizing in which quality is featured.

According to the Federal Department of Agricul- ture the colonies should be examined weekly, weather permitting or fort- nightly lif the weather has been cool during the spring. This examination rieccssary to determine that the broodnest is expanding properly, and to see that the bees are gradually consuming the stores and replacing there with brood. It -is important that the bees have a reserve store of a few pounds to carry them over a period of unfavourable weather and a shortage ;of nectar. Explicit in- structions for the handling of 'tile ap- iary at this or at other seasons of the year are contained in Bulletin No. 33 of the Department of Agri- culture. Summer Home for Hogs According to the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture the hog does not require an expensive home. Not on- ly that, but best results are actually obtained from the cheaper equipment. Two or three cabins, and a box -stall for the; farrow sow, will supply the necessaryhousing in the case of the farmer who grows a few hogs. The kind of cabin successfully used on the Experimental Farms is constructed of strong though`•relatively tight Mater- ial, and provided with hinged sides for the free passage of air in the sum- mer season. It is built on runners 50 as to be easily shifted from one place to another. The A -shaped cabin is stibieot tci damage by the pr•r.sstrre of .the hogs fr•oni the, inside. The upright cabin with peaked roof will last for years. The. Department issues a eircltllat giving the sped{tcations for a sttiisfile stnnmer home which, when tightened up and properly protected, makes•an all -year hog house, Why Hens Stop Laying A flock that has laid heavily during the. winter will generally slow up to- ward the middle of the summer when they begin to moult, but when the egg yield drops rapidly until it prac- tically ceases without any apparent reason, then suspect vermin. Body lice,, which remain an the birds, and the red unite which infests the poultry house during the day, returning to the birds, at roosting time, cause heavy losses. Mr. F. C. Elford, Do- minion Poultry I-Tusbandman, recant - mends for the former dusting the birds with lice powder and applying: Blue Ointment beneath the wings;, and for the red mite he recommends a strong solution of enoleum, or any other creolin preparation, applied to the cracks in the roosts and nest box- es at regular intervals throughout the sununer. Coal oil applied in similar fashion at intervals is also recom- mended, Love is thequality that keeps from noticing how impatiently brothers are waiting to elect Santa Claus. .Maitland Creamery CREAM Our Trucks Aren the Road can the office e and we will gladly arrange Pick-up Service Pool Eggs Advance Pay*nent this week a 10 • THE UNITED FARMERS' CO.O1 E l ATIVE COMPANY, LIMITED, Wingham, Ontario.
