Brien results show that the primary of softness in pork is the use suitable feeds and combinati feeds, faulty nutrition general unhealthy physical condition, cause or combination of causes check the normal growth, and d meat of the individual.. In the tigation an effort was made to ranine the influence of sueli :fe ground oats, ground barley �or dlings when fee Singly, both wi without milk by-products, and comparison of these feeds w mixed meal ration. The results demonstrated that the use of alone, oats alone, or middlings is more conducive to the, production of soft sides than any of these feeds supplemented with skim -milk. Azle of these three feeds are more condu- cive to Softness in bacon than a mixed meal ration of good balance, although barley fed alone with milk compares very favorably with the mixture, with oats a poor second, and middlings -of little use in a mixture. There is an intimate relationship between the stage of maturity or the physical con- dition of the animal and the firmness of fleshing. Rapidity of gain exer- cises' a lesser but at the same time an appreciable influence on the char- acter of the fleshings, the pigs which made poor gains being mostly soft. sufAcient to rinse .out the pails, the Eri cups, and the rubber-, tubes so that overs Indoors in visible dirt or trace milk are re- . moved, but it is essential to destroy Winter' the bacteria that lurk in al parts of " y cean ut unsterilized rna ises of chilies, After the machine has beet dduring thoroughly washed, the tubes an uring i craps should be sterilized either b chemical or heat treatment.

Ano important advantage 'of copper bonate dust is that it may be app in the winter and the treated s stored until sowing time. Two ou of copper carbonate is_ used to e bushel of grain. A mixing machin some kind is necessary as the d cannot be applied by simply sho ing it and the seed together.

May Refuse to Send a Track Tearzto Amsterdam in 1928. London.—A strong hostility toward' England competing in the Olympic Ganges at Amsterdam if football play- ers who are paid for "broken time" are allowed to particpate, is noted within the Amateur Athletic Associa- tion, which is the body governing Eng- lish track and field sport. The fact is one of grave significance, for it appears to foreshadow the A. A. A. voting in .favor of -Britain's absten- tion at the foe-thee/fling mass meeting of; the sports governing- bodies which is to be covened immediately by the British Olympic Association. If the A. A. A. refuses to send a track team, a complete boycott of the games by the British Empire athletes lied may almost be taken for granted as Sed the line action with which a rapid- ly I;growing ads of opinion i ach ; country is in complete ,sympathy. Now e 02 that the executive commission. of the ust International Olympic Committee has vel- confirmed its approval of the Associa- red time football players playing at Am- ess- Sterdam does not enforce the Olympic ate, definition of an .amateur, the athletic min- authorities .here feel that the thin end ust of the wedge of professionalism has on- been definitely inserted and that a ing cleavage of the Olympic movement its he only a matter of time.

The sprouting of the oats, however, involves more labor than preparing the clover, and on this account clover Leaves would seem to be the better of the two green feeds to use under average farming condi- tions. The two feeds have been pretty thoroughly tried out in a series of tests covering five winter laying sea- sons conducted at the Kapuskasing, Ontario, Experimental Station. One hundred pullets divided into two lofts of fifty each were used each' year in the tests. The ration fed to each lot was the same except that one lot re- 'ceived all the sprouted oats they could consume from a trough while. the other lot got clover'or alfalfa leaves from a hopper or thrown in the litter. The average results for the' five years showed practically no dif- ference in the total cost of feed, num- ber of eggs laid, cost perdozenof 3eggs, or profit over cost for the two lots. - Cleaning Milking Machines. The milking machine problem is no longer one of mechanical perfection, states the Dominion Animal Husband- man in his latest annual report, but It has become a /natter of more care- ful operation mechanically with great care in cleaning' from a baoteriologi- cal rather. than from a visible -dirt point of view.

To prepare a dish to hold bulbs grown in water, gravel, charcoal: and pebbles are generally use. The bottom of 'he dish la filled with gravel. mixed with powdered' charcoal or with ',Travel and cinders, The remainder. the space in the bowl or dish• should be filled nearly to the top with pebbl which will hold the bulbs in plac From one to three bulbs are plante in each dish. If the bulbs are sane enough; three of the bulbs can placed in the form of a triangle. Too much water on bulbs in water culture often cakes them to rot.

Keeping Cut Flowers Fresh There are many ways, in which the of life of cut flowers can be. lengthened j very ,considerably—a not unimportant - es consideration for those who like flow- ers, e, but have to study economy. d' Flowers purchased from a florist is � should be placed in water to which a be pinch of carbonate of soda .has been previously added and stirred. In- stead of beginning to wilt inthree 'or 11 four days or less, the flowers, if in e good condition when bought, will last e for 10 days or a fortnight. The re - ss qufsite amount of fresh water should bead Newly planted bulbs, whether in ecu or water, should be kept in a cool, dark place until a .good root system has developed. The bulbs should `n be brought to the light during thi period. even though the .leaves may begin to grow. Several inches of leaf growth generally occurs, although there will be an absence of green oo'1or. There is no need of alarm,. however, as the green appears within a few days after the 'bulbs' are brought to the light. If the bulbs are grown i soil. the root growth can be determin- ed by placing the -fingers •astrircte the bulbs, inverting the pot, and removing the earth ball by giving the pot one or two slight' jars. After the roots have been examined, replace the pot, and their invert the pot to its normal position. The length of time for the roots to develop in soil'is usually six to ten weeks, and even a shorter time is required for the development of bulb roots grown in water. KEEP IN COOL PLACE. A cool place should be chosen for potted'bulbs when they are brought,' n the cellar. It is well io have' temperature somewhat higher then' of the temperature, of the cellar,' temperatures which are too high se the plants to have too much age and poor blossoms.

Post - sent flowers, it may be added, would always arrive fresh if the stands- were inserted in tlitle pieces of. potato. Many people cannot understan why, although they- never fall ke the water in a vase or bowl at a ce tain, level, the flowers droop and di The reason is that flowers not on'I absorb a certain amount of water but extract the "nourishment" fr the rest. Thus a full vase may b practically useless water so far ao the flowers are' concerned. The ob- vious course is to renew all the water at least every other day. Some stalks, when cut, seal them- selves.
