Answer: Quince Jelly Quinces require long cooking to become tender: They may be cooked -in the fireless, cooker under steam pressure; in both oases they acquire a rich dark red color. Quinces have too little acid and too much pectin to make a desirable jelly when the juice alone is used.' An equal amount or twice as 'much tart apple improves the flavor. Cut the quinces in small pieces, add sufficient water to float them and cook them until they are tender. Drainoff the juice. Use two- thirds as much sugar as fruit juice. Proceed according to the directions for jelly making. The pulp. may; be used for conserve or butter. Quince Preserves 3 quarts sugar 3 cups water 4 quarts prepare d^ fruit. Never cook quinces in syrup be- fore steaming or boiling them. in wa- ter until tender, as'sugar hardens the uncooked fruit. .Scruls the quinces with a stiff brush, wash, pare, core and quarter, dropping the pieces into cold water to .,prevent discoloration. Save all. the good parings and cores for jelly. Measure the prepared fruit, put it iiitoa preserving kettle, cover with cold water and cook until the fruit is soft, then skim out and drain. Save the water to be Used with par- ings, cores and gnarly fruit for jelly. Make a syrup of three-quarter eup sugar to one cup water and boil for five minutes. Add the drained quince quarters andcook rapidnr until the fruit isclear. Pour into 'clean, hot jars and seal. Many persons prefer quince preserves made with an equal measure of sweet apples or firm pears. The method of making is the same as for quinces alone.

The St. Croix destroyer disaster. brings forc- ibly to mind that all Canada has got to take a realistic view of this war; that the end is a long way off; And that while the boys over there are ''giving" we are only asked to "lend." Gosh, our kids over there are giving plenty and not calling it sacrifice, either. * * * • As wages paid to hired farm help goes up, an intetesting recap of the Canadian situation comes to us. When the employer provided board for the hired man the average wage for help by the day was $3.51 in 1943 a9.0 $2.50 ' the year •befOre. "No board!' in 1943 brought $4.74 as against $3.15 the year before. Wages for day help were • highest in Ontario, but all pro- vinces showed an "up." By the month average with board was, 461.26 at August 15, '1943, as against $46.82 same date last year. Current rate of wages fel/ farm (rhelp more than dou- ble that paid in 1940. , - When the federal minister cif agri- culture asked farmers to refrain :from marketing to/finished cattle during the fall monthsthis yeer, it was because the expected hog output for the next few months would probably overtax slaughtering facilities. Besides they clakin.it an uneconomic practice when there is feedavailable in the conntrjr Hog marketing will set new records this fall,, while it is known that in the first eight Monti:it of .1943, beef car- casses dressed an average of twenty pounds heavier than in 1942. This idea makessense, doesn't it? " * * * , .• A few agriMdtural notes: Feeding tests at Brandlne-Manitoba, show that millet mixed egth, other grain rations is ideal for. mirtet hogs feeding.

There's a lot more cackling going on everywhere in the country as meat' rationing enhanced the importance of poultry. Latest move by the Prices Board gives producers a better price, an increase of 2 cents a 'Sound on dressed poultrt The mark up of re- tailer is cut front 9 cents -a pound to 20 per cent. of selling price, not to exceed seven cents. A .producer" sell- ing dressed poultry direeCto consum- er can add to the zone ceiling price the markup which is allowed a re- tailer. • * * * A quick glance at the order giving "priority to-empt3; coal bins" requires /coal supplies dealers to give priority in coal deliveries to • consum"ers who have less than one-quarter of their annual fuel requirements on hand. This is limited to the one-quarter and applies only to consumers who use less than, fifty tons a year. * * * Facts: We know Canada is a great food producing country, but did you know that the gross value of our agri- cultural production has increased from about $1,205,000,000 in '1939 to more than two billion dollars in 1942. Mx -ports of agricultural and vegetable food products, tobacco and its pro- ducts, animal annish products, from Canada to ,the 'United Kingdom last year, exdeeded 4336,000,000. As a major source of, war materials our export trade last year was more than double that of 1939, Imports on the other heed haven't varied ranch iii the last two ;years. We have a very favorable trade balance right now, nearly air much for the first seen months of 190 as for all of 1942. * * * Maybe you don't.know how the cost of living bot1us Isambled at: 25 cents for each pOint rise in the cost of Jiving for,all adult Mahe employees and for all other einploYeeS • elnPloY- ed at fbarelc arage,rates f $25 er more • • • • uro Federation (Continued fro= rage 2)' Winter Control of Cattle Lice Now is the 'time for making certain that winter quarters for cattle are thoroughly cleansed,' but before the cattle are placed in these quarters it is' equally necessary to make sure that the cattle themselves, are clean; that they do not carry lice. This is very importants. Lice cause serious loses, and it is estimated that If one pair of lice ere.brought into a stable and left undisturbed they may in- crease to over 20 mullione in the four months of November, December, Jan- uary and February. There are sev- eral methods of •contralling lice -by washes of drugs and drug mixtures, dusting powders and dipping. Dip- pisg, owing to the size of the animals, can rarely be used, and dusting pow- ders are not so effective as washes or dips. ,Creolin of commercial grade, ap- plied with a woollen cloth or medium stiff brush in two per cent solution in warm soft water is an old and fev- ered wash for the control of lice. Coal tar creosote may also be purchased, and when used with either cold er warm water iseready for use. Appli- cations .of creosote and other •solu- tons cas be made more thorough by spraying pump than by hand. Another effective and economie method is by treating the cattle with raw linseed oil, but a .caution is nec- essary here. Boiled linseed oil or paint oils should never be used on any living animal. Raw linseed oil should be applied with a brush but without hard rubbing of the skin, at the rate of four ounces per cow and repeated at intervals of 20 days or less. After treatment, the animals should be allowed to remain quietly in the stable and should not be ex- posed .to bright..sunlight fer at least 12 hours so as to avoid be ',danger of oil -burn. Generally there are three kinds of cattle lice -the small red- dish-yellow louse, and the two varie- ties of blue sucking lide,' the long -nos- ed and the short -nosed speciee, and all can be easily controlled. * * Sugar Content is High in Ontario Sugar Beets The Wallaceburg refinery of dan- ada and Dominion Sugar Company will commence beet silicing opera- tions around Oct. 25th, with berets to be delivered approximately one week before this date. The Ontario De- partment of Agriculture reports that the frosts in SePtember, which were so damaging to corn, tobacco, beans and vegetables throughout the beet - growing areas, did not affect sugar beets. Crop estimates still continue at nine tons per acre, which would. produce 83,592 tons of beets on the 9,288 acres of crop. Indications are for a better than average sugar con- tent in *view of the late harvest, though fields of beets planted late cannot be expected to be fully mature or give a high sugar content. Final payments for the 1942 crop were mare last month after the molas- ses was all sold and brought the av- erage factory price for beets to $7.89 per ton. The average yield in 1942' Was 11.89, tons per acre, making the crop worth $93.81 per acre. * * * Winnipeg Cattle Markets The trade this week was quite ac- tive on all decent quality replacement cattle with the better kind of feeders selling upto ten and a fair class is crossing the scale from nine to rine, fifty. While receipts were somewhat heavier, the quality was very disap- pointing and orders for good cattle v, ere difficult to fill. A few choice ?tock heifers sold up 'to nine, while the good kind sold around eight - fifty. Yearling steers are selling around nine and a half and a few choice up to ten. Good stock cows Ire finding a fairly ready outlet from six and a half to seven. The follo*ing 'prices are quoted: Good feeder. steers, 800 to 900 lbs.': $9.75 to $10; fair to good, 800 to, 900 lbs., $8.50 to $9.25; medium, 800 to 900 lbs.: $f Sto 88.50; plain' and all others, $7 to $7.50.

Tuckey, •Reeve themes 'Wilson, of Grey Town- ship, Deputy -Reeve Alex Alexander, of Grey Township, and they repres- ented the Agriculture Committee of 'the County of Huron. Mr, John Arm- streng, of Hay Township; William 'Turnbull, of •Grey'Township, and W. -J. "Dale and W. L. WhYte, of Hullett Township, represented the Huron Federation of Agricultere. The committee .told 8r. Gardiner thatebecause of the grain situation in Ontario that a higher price would be necessary if the maximum amount of bacon was needed. Mr, Gardiner said that the office of his department had gone into. the price situation quite thoroughly -and that he was hopeful of a higher price, and that the con - trent would be signed this 'week. He told the committee that the new con- tract would be made for two years, a week: one pettent of their basic Vveekly wage rates for male employ- ees under 21 and women workers era- ployed at ;basic wages rates of less than $25 a week. Every employer, except in a few exempted classee, must pay this. * * * , Some 254 members of the Canadian Army have been decorated for gal- lantry in the field or Mentioned in despatches 'since the war began.

Postideat 1 FARMERS AND FARM WORKERS If Your Farm Work has Slackened for the Winter, You'Are Needed. Elsewherejn Essential Employment Highly essential work -very important in Canada's war effort and for the welfare of the Nation -is threatened „with §hortages of workers. One of the few sources of men available for other high priority jobs is those men on the farm who will not be- needed at home during the Fall and Winter. Heavy needs must be met in many lines - producing fuel wood and other neces- sary forest products; in base metal mines, in food processing, in railway track maintenance. If you live on a farm and are not _needed at home during the Fall and Winter, you are urged to answer this national appeal. Farmers engaged in, essential work during the off season will be allowed to return home when needed. Also, those on postponement under Mobili- .zation Regulations will continue on postponement while in approved essen- tial work during the stack on the farm. Please answer this vital call NOW.
