We do not suggest where limestone' should be purchased, but we feel that location of quarry and freight cost should form a major con- sideration. Local quarries that of- fer material of a suitable nature at satisfactory prices might well be pat- ronized." Growers' Council Organized • Giving force to the recommenda- tion made in the Somerset report, re- presentative fruit, and vegetable growers to the number of about 60 met last week in Hamilton and or- ganized a 'Growers' Market Council: The gathering was sponsored by the new Ontario Marketing Board as one of its first steps to aid agriculture in this province. The function of the Council will be to develop the or- dcr1 marketing of Ontario fruit and y •vegetables, with special consideration to extension of markets and also to deal in an advisory capacity with the various problems of growers. A pe- tition was directed to Premier Ben- nett at Ottawa, imploring him to im- pose as soon as possible fixed values ifer 'duty on cabbage, cauliflower, to- matoes and . early potatoes, on the 1 basis of the recommendations of the Canadian Horticultural Council. The following officers of the Council were elected: H. • L. Craise of St. Cathar- ines, chairman; M. M. Robinson of Hamilton, vice-chairman; the provis- '® tonal Board of Directors includes: Jas. E.

Campaign Against Weeds The provincial authorities are leav- ing no stone unturned in their cam- paign against weeds. Many of the highwayshave the usual prolific crops along the sides of the roads. Some of the farms throughout the country have crops of weeds which 11 will soon be ripening and spreading v their seeds to the four winds. Delin- quents in this repect will be given an opportunity to explain the reason for their contempt of the law as soon as the weed inspector makes his rounds, Summer Homes for Hogs The hog does not require an ex- pensive home. Not only that, but best results are actually obtained from the cheaper egiiipnent, Two or three cabins and a box -stall for the farrowing sow will supply the necessary housing it the ease of the farmer who grows a few hogs. Ex- periments have proved successful with cabins constructed of strong though relatively light material and provided with hinged sides for free passage of air in the summer season. They are built on runners so as to be easily shifted from place to place. The A -shaped cabin is subject to damage by the pressure of the hogs from the inside. . The upright cabin with the peaked roof will last for years. A circular is available at your local agricultural office giving speci- fications for a suitable summer home which when tightened up and prop- erly protected, makes an all -year hog house. Tobacco For The Sheep Losses from unthriftiness due to internal parasites •in sheep iauay reduced by the feeding of tobacco to the flock. The tobacco is given with salt in the proportion of ten pounds of salt to one of crushed tobacco leaf. The leaf should be dried so that it may be broken up in a size equal :to that of wheat bran. This when mix- ment, which are available at your lo - ed with the salt, slightly moistened, cal representative's office.

Fall wheat and spring grains are making wonderful growth. The price of cheese has strengthened in the last week or two, but many factories re- port a small make, due to milk pro- ducts finding their way into other dairy products. Mortality in Young Pigs A high mortality in hogs on farms in Sitncoe County is reported by S. L. Page, agricultural representative. Young pigs have been dying when only a few days old and in many cases have been still -born. The mor- tality has been higher in young • pigs than in more mature, animals. Mr. Page states that it is due in part to the dry season experienced last year and to the fact that poorly balanced mations are being fed in many hog kereas. Home-grown rations are of- ten deficient in protein and mineral matter and for this reason many hog producers find it advisable to feed some mineral mixture as recommend- ed in charts supplied by the depart - Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs, O.

Pull Weeds Now Where farmers are figuring on saving a field of clover or timothy Promising Crops for seed, the weeds in the field should Conditions throughout Ontario are be pulled out now while the ground very promising. From present indi- is soft. If impossible to clean up the weeds, the crop should be cut for hay as the seed would be so polluted erage' year •and the yield, especilly with weed seed that it would be worth very little in the fall, "Cut all doubtful fields for hay," is a good rule to follow. As the present acre- age of both alsike and red clover this year was very small compared with other years, and there is now a tar- iff of three cents a pound on these commodities it may be well worth while to go to a little extra trouble in cleaning up doubtful fields. The sante is true of timothy, the duty on which was raised to two cents a ib. in the new budget. Last year we im- ported Si million pounds of this seed so there should be plenty of room for all the clean timothy we can grow in Canada. The chief trouble with 'Can- adian -grown timothy has been the high percentage of weed seeds and mixtures of clover and other grasses. All weeds should be pulled out at this time, particularly the ox -eyed daisy. It is also good policy to cut a swath •right around the field at hay- ing time. This removes the weeds creeping in from the fences. Catch - fly, caanpion, dock and sweet clover are among the most serious weeds which should be pulled out. It is policy to remove then to the edge of the field and destroy. cations it appears that 'fraying will start somewhat earlier than the av- CHILDREN CRY FOR IT C4I-IILDREN T IrILDREN barteto take medicine as a rule, but every child loves the taste of Castoria. And this pure vegetable preparation is just as good as it tastes; just as bland and just as harmless as the recipe reads. When Baby's cry warns of coli. a few drops of Castoria . has him soothed, asleep again in a jiffy. Noth- ing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels: In colds or children's diseases, you should use it to keep the system from clogging. Castoria is sold in every drugstore; the genuine always bears Chas, 11. i ietcher's signature. flux LINE EAST WAWANOSH Messrs.
