Ottawa Winker Fair •- December :2+nd to ,6th. Typical of the vast work of investi- gation now in progress at the Ontar- io Agricultural College is the study of parasites in hogs and a of the re - �a son s for lack of vitality in winter - born hogs, under the direction of Prof. Knox of the Department of Animal Husbandry. The ultimate solution of these probleins will prov of direct value to every farmer. Count the Cost Farris profits are 'small. They are limited by the selling price of pro- ducts and, perhaps to a greater ex- tent, by the cost of production, The ,selling price may be 'influenced by organization but each farmer controls his production costs. It is much bet- ter. to feed and milk five c ows-iii w ch give h . c a profit than ten ~visci pay costs,only, To raise crops cheap- ly there must be a high yield. The cost for the farm, or per aerie, or e per cow does not tell much. +Contpar ison should be on a ton, bushel o pound basis. Curbing Cannibalism Prof, 'W. R. Graham, head of t11 Poultry Department of O. A. C., 'ha a good suggestion for curbing t11 frequent outbreaks of feather -pulling and cannibalism when, pullets Are first put in confinement. Such an outbreak rC 1� OCCLtrr ed at thec Dile this college s fall. A quantity of fresh raw blood was obtained front, the slaughter house and given the pullets as a drink. In fifteen minute's the appe- tite had so abated that it was safe to put back in the pen the pullets that lead been .previously attacked. One gallon of blood was given to each 100 pullets. There has not been a;. renewal of the trouble. Men Like this Pastr.. MME IT WITH PURITY FLOUR Use 2 cults Purity Flour,'4 teaspoon salt cup shortenin y . gr j cup,. cold water..

An Importalit Ruling Hereafter persons' corning to Can- ada to buy cattle for exoptt will be permitted to use their motor cars of manufacture for that purpose without the paytnent of duty, bond I or deposit. This regulation will great- ly facilitate the movement of cattle btuYers front• outside Canada, inas- much as .formerly they were obliged to leave their cars at the port of en- try and engage means of transporta- tioti in travelling front point to point lei Canada, The importance of this ithternational trade in cattle is shown by the fact that since the first of the year approximately 350 pure-bred Holstein, tattle have been exported to the United States. Shrinkage of Potatoes Experiments conducted by the Di- vision of Botany, Dominion' Depart- inentf, v Agriculture, sh oe that the shrinkage of potatoes while in stor- age can be greatly lessened if cor- rect storage practices are followed, All tubers placed in storage should be mature, healthy and as free from. moisture on their surfaces, dirt and mechanical injury as possible. The storage of even a small percentage of diseased or field frosted potatoes endangers all the healthy, stock. Ti is, however, practically impossible to keep large quantities in ;good condi- tion for prolonged periods unless the proper type of storage house is used. For this purpose Pamphlet No. 10, issued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, explains the require- ments of the perfect type of storage house, It clearly explains .the pro Per methods to follow.' in order to secure the best prices for your pota to crop and may be obtained trot the department. n Weekly Crop Report A splendid season is reported by the farmers of Ontario, according to the current weekly crop report: Far- mers in Durham County ;report in- creased egg production and splendid markets for eggs, which are selling locally at 55c for extras, and 48c for firsts, Essex County's tobacco has practically all been bought, and, al- though prices are no higher than last year, the average is considerably higher. Wheat is looking well in Huron, althoughdrought has decreas- ed the fall output considerably-. There has been considerable demand in the County of Haldimand for cattle. American buyers have been quite ac- tive, paying as high as $500 for some type of Holsteins, Middlesex County has been less fortunate, s owing to drought, and large numbers of live stock are still on pasture. Sheep are reported to be in good condition, Tem.iskanling sheepmen being of the opinion that flocks were never in bet- ter condition than they are this fall, Yield of Seed Crops A larger than usual acreage of red clover has been cut for seed in On- tario, the yield per acre varying from 120 to 130 pounds. It is believed that there may be from three to four million pounds of seed, which will constitute the largest red clover seed crop in Old Ontario for many years. The crop in Northern Ontario is practically a failure this year. Alsike acreage in Old Ontario was estimated 20 per cent. larger than in 1928 and yields per acre have var- ied from 60 td 500 pounds, low yields being general in the southern and lake counties and high yields in the clay country between Toronto and Georgian Bay. In Northern Ontario Temiskaming District, the total pro- duction of Alsike is not expected to exceed 10,000 bushels, about half as much as last year. Alfalfa seed production in On- tario was again light in 1929. The acr=eage left for seed is not believed to have exceeded 10,000, which may yield from 60 to 120 pounds per acre, about the same as in 1928. An abun- dance of sweet clover for seeding purposes is expected to be available next spring. Timothy seed produc- tion in Ontario is reported as normal, a large proportion coming front the Navan District of Russell County. Production of blue grass in South- western Ontario is estimated at 50 per cent. of normal. The seed is re- ported to be particularly heavy per bushel this year.

Not long ago a promin- ent merchant sat at hitt desk lambasting -the people of his comtnuu- rty for doing business with door-to-door solicitors, and buying in • other towns the things he had to sell. He started to give nee fig- a - ures---and what do you supposeon? he wrote them Stationery he 11 had purchased through the manufacturer of a product he sold, T l called his attention to it, and he said, "I.neeer thought about that." A tire dealer in this sante town said, "Business is bent because al everybody in this town has the mail order bug." A half hoar later ! I saw a statement from this on the desk of a banker, made out on in a bill head printed by a mail order concern, When told of this, = je the tire man said, "Well, 1 never looked at it that way.".
