IN the field of Agricuiture\l Co-
operation in the Province of On -
tario, the greatest advance dur-
ing the yea"has been made in
conhettion -with the shipping alive
stock, rive years ago, there- were
practically no Live Stock Shipping
Clubs, At the preeent time between
three . and tout hundred eeParate
OL eanizations . (including Farmers'
Clubs) ship cCemperatively. The ma-
jority of these shipto the Live Stock
Itranch- of the United learmIrs Co-
operatlie Company, 'which handled
about 30 per centof the stock going
through the yards, Preaent indica-
tions point to the possibility, within
the next few years Of the larger Pro-
portion of the live stock of Ontario
being. shipped co-operatively. .
The second iniportant development
In the Province is that In connection
with Egg Marketing. The year pre-
vious to this there were about fifty
actilte Egg Circles In the -province
marketing eggs and poultry, to the
value of about $120,000. The num-
ber of Circles has increased until
there are now some sixty in oper-
ation, and Farmers' Clubs as well as
Egg Circles are nowtaking um this
important work. The, most netice-
able development is in the groulping
of Circles in variousdistricts for the
purpose of establishing candling and
grading ,Stations, and already omit
three districtaare so organized, each
• consisting of a dozen or more local
circles. The United Farmers Co-
operative Company e., has 'recently
opened a department for 'eggs and
poultry and this' fact will doubtless
have the, same effeet as in connecticin
with Litre Stock Shipping.
A development in connection with
Co-operative Marketing is the Move-
ment on foot 'during the year to com-
bine under one central company the
manufacturing and marketingof the
cheese from local cheese factories.
Thie company has opened an auction
rnarket in Montreal with a suceessful
and increasing business..
The co-operative marketing of wool
was continued last year through the
Ontario Sheep Breeders' Association
as previously. The' Canadian Co-
operative Wool Growers, -Limited.,
marketed a total of about 4,000,000
pounds, arid of this amount Ontario
supplied 775,000 pounds. It is esti-
mated -that Ontario's total production
Is about 2,600,000 pounds annually.
Thus, 31 per cent. of Ontario's wool
was marketed co-operatively last
Year. -
A large proportioniof the eo-oper-
ativetwork in the province is carried
on 'fhrough unincorporated local
farnitirtis clubs, pf which there are
some twelve or thirteen hundred in
• the province. The great majority ot
these• are tdDliated with the United
Farmers' Co-operative Company,
_which acts as a wholesale house for
these clubs. The amount of business,
transacted by some of the clubs is
remarkable. There are, of course, a
number which do only part of their
trading through the central company;
' the wholesale business, however, as
reported in the. annual statement of
the central company, amounted to
$8t5.00,000. This will no doubt show
a substantial increase in the next
atatement, since the company has
established a, number of branch
stores and additional separate dee-
partments at th'e head office. -
With the increase of business And
the co sequent larger financial trans-
actions "am increasing number of'
clubs h ve become incorporated un-
der the Co-operative.' Section of the
Ontarid Cotnpanies Act. During the
year t re have been eighty incorpor-
ations either as Share or Non -share
Co -o erative Companies. Where the
club has reached the stage when it
feels that incorporation will be bene-
ficial, usuaAly its business ifi en a
fairly -substantial. basis and gives
promise of being ipermanently auc-
-cessful. :One such -organization, fer
instance, handling live stock, feeds,
grains and other commodeties and
buying supplies, is doing a business
which averages about $1,000 a day.
There are other organizations in
the province tevhiclt do not actually
carry on business, but whose work is
one phase 'of co-operative endeavor.
Such organizations are, -Milk Pro-
ducers' Associations, Grape Growers'
Associations, Sugar Beet Growers'
Association, Tobacco Growers' Asso-
ciation and others of like nature
T endeaver to studym'iarket con-
ditions and advise thermembers as

.ers. Recent developments would indite

A great deal of preliminary work
has been done by the Depprtment
during the year in counection with
the production of pure seed, more
particularly of potato seed in North-
ern Ontario. This work is leading to
the organization of commercial seed
centres.
the trend of Agricultural Co-oper-
ation in the province during the last
year or so is more in the direction of
Co-operative Mai keti mg than pre-
viously. Farmere' eltin,i are usually
formed with the idea of combining
the purchasing ot supplies for its,
members, and this line of business is
usually the first attempted by the
clubs. The amount o, Co-operative
Marketing business duringthe last
year has, however, exceeded the sup-
ply businese in the erovince and

tive importance to the hillier of the

If nothing of this kind is available,

In case the horse needs moi help

to the hind parte, such as a fracture
of the 'hip or leg, which should be
examined by a qualified veterinarian.
In all effort to assist a fallen horse
'do not forget that in rising to his

Mothodsqn Sheep Raising Shown In
Moving Picture.
A motion -.Picture film dealing with
sheep on the farm has recently been
completed by the film laboratories of
the Upited States •Department of
Agriculture in co-operation with the
Bureau of Animal Industry. ,The
film is used by county agents, .county
or state sheep -breeders' associations,
agricultural colleges, an. other de-
partment or co-operative workers or
agencies.
The filra is in three sections and
four reels. About 45 minutes is re-
quired for the showing of the whole
production.
The subjece treated in the first and
second reels Is a year with the flock
on the farm, beginning in the fall
at the time that the ewe flock
should be culled prior to breeding,
and carrying it on throu'gh until` the
lambs are sold. Each seasonal prac-
tice is brought out and educational
points are featured. The third reel
deals with the co-operative market-
ing of wool and lames, and the fourth
reel with the slaughtering of a mut-
ton sheep, dressing the carcase, and
then cutting it up for meter con-
sumption.
The average farm imiffement is
only about half woen out by use
alone. The rest of the wear is due
to rust and decay. The greatest pos-
sible profit is ete.de out of machinery
when it is used continuously for pro-

IVE leased orchards in the
Counties of Simcoe, Nor-
- folk, Prince Edward, Lambton
'and Ontario, all being In apple
groWinee sections, were looked after
, by the Ontario Department of Agri-
culture during the war. Four of these
have been very profitable. In the
Prince Edward county orchard it was
successfully demonstrated' that new
heads could be put on old trees.
The Department found that leaffthg
apple' orchards- is a. profitable busi-
npss, but several things must be done
to make it 41o. On the 'lighter soils
many of the trees are positively
starving while on heavier lands this
may not, be so apparent. In the
I experiments .very little commercial
fertilizer was used, but the Depart -
tient depended on the use of barn-
yard manure, mostly secured from
Toronto. About seven ions per acre
are • sufficient for one application,
which gives about 400 pounds per
tree and the total cost is about e21
1 Per acre. Theamount loOks big but
there is no doubt that it will pay
Well to spread that mixh on light
land nearly every year.
, About six or seven years ago we
, -began ploughing, in the fall, several
i rows of trees in all the leased or-
chards (a portion being left in sod
to teat the sod mulch).This was
done in order that we could answer
from experielece the frequent question
-What about fall plougbing? When
the land is fall Ploughed cultivation
can be begun much earlier in the
spring. It costs' much less to get
and In good condition when it
has been ploughed before winter,
but we can see no advantage in
ploughing *closer than five feet from
the tree. The troublesome part in
orchard cultivation is close to the
trunk' and it. is frequently difficult
to work near the tree without injur-
ing the bark.
We have tested cultivation -against
sod mulch, and have concluded that
nearly all the orchards will be more
profitable when cultivation is carried
on,, unless the land is first-class and
there is plenty of barnyard manure
for mulching. When to stop culti-
vation is rather hard to answer.
It depends on the season. Thee
drier the weather the later the
cultivation should be carried on.
On rich land apples will grow long
after cultivation has ceased. We are
stopping :our cultivation earlier and
earlier every year because our On-
tario apples lack color; less -'cultiva-
tion means more color, more color
higher priced fruit. Medium apples
slightly colored seem Preferable to
larger one lacking color. When title
tivatton is stopped a cover crop is fre-
quently sown. - The principal object
is to rob the trees _of nourishnfent
in order that the 'fruit Will color and
the wood will ripen before *inter.
Some low growing crop from cheap
seed gives most eatisfaction.
Trees must be pruned to get high
class apples. The beat time to prune
is early' spring but we prune any
montk when the weather is not too
cold for our men. If there are large
cuts to make we leave a stub about
one' foot long and cut it off in the
spring, as cuts of two inches or more
do not heal well wbeu made in the
very cold weather; large cuts sit °tilt'
be kept painted to keep the wood
from decaying. Pruning ie a slow
business and it costs a lot to get a
big orehard done, but it is absolutely
necessary if- good apples are expected.
High trees are difficult to spray thor-
oughly. Twenty feet is high enough
for any tree and several feet of top
may be removed in a season with tio
bad effe ts. The tree With e low head
.i
is easie pruned, easier sprayed, can
be pick d for half the cosi, and the
wind will not blow down se many
apples. -W. F. leydd, Fruit Branele

WINTER FEEDING OF YOUNG
CATTLE
There is no time that gain can be
made mare profitably with young
stock than the period from six months
to two years of age. The tendency
v ry often, however, is to let the
stbck "rough" it during this ,time par-
ticularly during the winter, not even
giving a maintenance ration ; and the
young' stock too often passes the
winter without having made any ap-
preciable gain, the farmer depending
upon the pasturage during :the suet -
mer to 'put the animal into saleable
condition. The result of such a prac-
tice is that lighter steers are obtain-
ed, or heifers are delayed in maturity
with corresponding loss to the raiser.
In order to carry young stock to
best advantage during -the ',winter
months, roots or succulent feeds of
somekind should be provided. Such
feeds. will take the place of hay and
grains, thereby lessening the cost of
wintering, and at the same time make
it possible for the animal to make
the best use of such dry feeds be-
cause of aiding in the digestion of
.both the roughage and meal given.
Young stock cannot make gain
without protein feeds of some kind.
This may be supplied by feeding of
plenty of clover hay.' The importance
of using good clover hay for young
stock catmot be too strongly urged.
The Practice too often is to feed the
young stock the poorest hay, where-
as the opposite should be the rule if
beet reoults are to be obtained.
Of the 'grains, wheat bran, crushed
oats and oil meal are the best. These
are mixed in the proportion of two
parts each of the bran and oats to one
part, -of the oil Meal. It is risky °to

With roots,- or ensilage together

may be tgl along with some grain to

good -growing. conditions :thereby
maintained, .
Good feeding is more important
following the housing of the eta& in
the fall than at any other time. Dur-
ing the early winter is -when particu-
lar attention should be given more
readily to good ;treatment and if any
skimping in feed is to be practised let
it be during the latter part of the
Winte, r at 'which time stock seems to
1 do with less feed than earlier in the
winter when the days are shorter and
the temperature lower. • .
The placing of young stock upon
a dray ration after coming from the
pasture in the fall is very likely to
be attended with stomach troubles,
and if the supply of succulent feed
is limited let these be fed in modera-
tion at this time to avoid too great
a change in feed. A gradual change
to the dry feed as the winter passes
will prove to be less risky.
Care should be exercised in feeding
a meal mixture, politic:Warty if no
suceulent feeds are given, as very
often a. desire to bring on an un-
thrifty animal quickly may, if, too
heavy feeding is practised, result in

CONSTANTINE DENIES HE WAS
PRO -GERMAN
Constantine of Greece says that he
wits not pro -German during the war,
and because it is known even in dem-
ocratic countries that to call a king
a • liar is not according tocourt
etiquette, it is difficult to make the
natural retort Constantine was pro -
German. His wif4 the Queen, who is
now restored to share with him the
throne of Greece, is the Kaiser's Only
sister. It is not inevitable, of course,
that husbands fieould share their.
wives' views about the family, and
the fact that for some time Con-
stantine and Sophie lived apart
would indicate that they were not
literally one 'Ilesh. Sophie was loyal
to her brother, and if she did not in-
fluence' Tino 'there are documents to
prove that Constantine himself de-
sired a victory for the Kaiser. It is
alleged by his sympathizers that he
was driven out of Greece by the Al-
lies. There is no need to deny the
charge, which ig rather ereditable
than not to the Allies. Admitting
it to be true, why did they chase him
from the throne of Greece No ,
doubt- because he was their friend.
The Balkan War has been almost
forgotten in the Great War, but it •:
was more costly in life to Greece.
When peace was restored Greece
-made a treaty with Serbia, in which
these countries ,agreed to eoine to
asIa
•
the help of each ether 1 the event
of attack( When • Serbia was at-
tacked by Austria she may 'have
counted on Greek's aid, but when it
Niiii5 not forthcoming she did not
. complain, having more teiverful al -
1 lies. Bulgaria did not emmediately
enter the conflict, and it waa hinted
that if the did' Greece would take
the plunge, because between Greeks
and Butgars there is a bitter feud.
Bulgiuia hesitated for some time,
and it was supposed It she did so
for fear of Greece's action. What-
ever may have been the case then
i; is now certain that when Bulgaria
became a belligerent she had assur-
ances from King Constantine that
Greece would not interfere:* Vein"-
zelos had given the Allies contrary
assurances, but he reckoned without
his host ,
Just before Bulgaria made her
finaldecision her envoy at Athens
reported *Constantine as saying:
'fi hold that when you go to oc-
eupy Serbian Macedonia we have no
reasons to intervene. . . We can-
not espouse Such a course, for we
should have to declare war for for-
eign territory. We are going to act
now with Austria and Germany. It
would, therefore, be suicide if, in op-
posing you, we were to declare war
against two great powers, 1 do not
agree to . the ptoposal of M. Veni-
zelos that we should oppose you with
our troops and with those of the
Entente, for if the Entente has
nlenty of troops it will send them
1 itgainst the Dardanelles and not
Against Bulgaria'. , .I beg you to de-
l'clare to your Czar that in your ac -
1i bon against Serbia you will have no
1 opposion from our side. We shall
' not sired our blood ajainst you and
' against Germany to save Serbia."
That would seem to be a pretty fair
answer • to Constantine's -claim that
; he was not pro -German.
I There is raore evidence, however,
and we submit the telegram that the
Kirtg and Queen of Greece sent to -
the Kaiser on his birthday; Sanuary
; 26, 1917:
' "We send you from the bottom of
