Buyers of broilers are: inclinQd:, ta.
be discriminating " cone aqueortly • an;:
- effort should be made to cater •to
their 'taste by placing the product
on the market'iii its most attractive
form. As a -sideline, the 'general far-
iner, or his wife , may find raising a
few hundred broilers an attractive
prospect.
,Inder fairly average conditions the
two pound broiler of the right type
Ono be raised on atioutNsix to seven
pounds of feed in ten weeks and the
feed should copstitute about half -the
'+ota1 cost of production. The • margin
of profit will depend on the price paid
ior the chick; skill in feeding and
finishing and the date of mortality.
Broilers can be successfully reared
to the •market stage in either pens or
batteries, bust providing the weather
permits, the method that generally
appeals to the farmer on acdount of
the saving in l bor and equipment is•
to allow about hve weeks in the nurs-
ery brooder, about three. weeks on
good grass°'range and two',_weeks con-
fined to, pens for finishing on a good
.milk diet.'
Reliable ready mixed `-rearing and
-finishing mashes are available. For
the farmer who - prefers• to use his
own grain, good results will follow
the use of the usual starter ;and de-
veloper dry mash to about eight

What . changes •there are in all the
three countries are in a favourable
direction. ^There is a general in
crease in fluidamilk supplies in ail
three countries,; the increased avail-
ability of meat and decreased supplies
of. evaporated milk in the United
States and Ctanada; th•eimprovement
in the supply of dried eggs in the
United 'K+ingdom, 'which offsets a con-
tinued decline in supplies of • shell
eggs; the ,increase in supplies of
fresh fruits and vegetables in the
United States and, Canada; a fur-
ther rise i,the consumption of pota
toes in the United Kingdom; and a
temporary increase lit United King-
dom supplies of citrus fruit.
The 1944 level of civilian consun-
tion in the United •States and Capada
is much bighen;-than that of the Unit-
ed Kingdom in respect to ,dairy pro-
ducts (ex'oept -cheese),, meat, -eggs,
sugars and fruit, In contrast, to
compensate for the shortage of other
Moods, • the consumption of potatoes
and flour has increased appreciably
in. the United Kingdom during the
war period' and considerably greater
quantities of thele foods are , now
eaten in Britain than in either the
United States . or, Canada.
Despite some improvement in 1944,
the range of foods which can be
bought in the United • Kiogdomc''i"s"
still much more restricted than •in
Canada or the United States, and
the diet continues to suffer -from, a
lack of palatability compared to the
prewar diet. The United Kingdom
diet -is inferior to that of, the United
States and Canada not only in terms
of most nutrient_: but particularly
from the point of view of 'variety: In
the latter respect the diet has deteri-
orated considerably from the pre-war
standard.
Sheep as Economic Producers of Meat
Referring to sheep in Canada's
agricultural economy, Dr. E. S. Archi-
bald, Director, Dominion . Eicperimen,
tal'Farms. Service, said when speak-
ing recently at the annual meeting
of the Canadian Cq-operative Wool
Growers that sheep had a definite pre-
ference over other classes of meat
animals, from the standpoint of econ-
omical . use of 'grasses, the minimum
requirements for winter stored rough -
ages, and the minimum amou' nt of•
•,�Y
labour for output of 9atibalid wool.
Experiments Chad shown that in the
improvements of Canadian pastures,
proper grazing not overgrazing:
of sheep, because or their even dis-
tribution of manure, even and close
grazing and .compacting of soil, were
outstandingly- beneficial. • Measured
in terms of commercial fertilizer 'for
pasture improvement; sheep thus' -sav-
ed heavy investment per annum.
Sheep could very advantageously be
used for the' production of high class
human foodsfrom land which was
not used for other purposes. That, of.
course, applied to large tracts of
range lands in Western Canada that
are ,not grazed, and it applied in a
lesser; degree throughout Eastern
Canada as well. As an example of
this the' co-operative sheep, producers'
association at Val Marie, Sask., or-
ganized only about two years ago.
• Over 50,000 acres of land that was
being used only for Wild and unde-
siredi ' horses were taken. oyer for
sheep, 'and the farmers who owned
the sheen paid off their original in-
debtedness to the ,banks within two
years and had now a large excellent
band of sheep as an asset not only
for themselves 'but in producing rev-:
enue from land which formerly was
not an asset to Canada.

mutton- and lamb in Canada, Dr:
Archibald said it was his opinionthat
with • the increase in demand and a
greater distinction between superior
and inferior grades of lamb and. mut-
ton meat, lambs might be finished and
marketed in 'Canada . at prides suffi-
ciently low .so that the meat might
compete with any other meats offer-
ed for sale. In fact, if one looked up-
on sheep as an economical producer
on the farm, with a high percentage
of them' well finished' on grass and
the ability of sheep to manufacture
grass into edible meat as, cheaply or
more cheaply than any other .domes-
tic live 'stock, there was • every rea-
son to suppose that a well -organized
sheep industry could :place palatable
and nutritious meats in the hands of
.consumers at a fate even /ewer than
pork, poultry, beef or ' veal, all of
which are dependent 'in their finish,
to a greater degree on grain than are
thutton and lamb.
Use of Sulfa Drugs May be Dangerous
Livestock owners who have heard
of some of the benefits from the use
of sulfa drugs` in,,hreating live -stook
ailments have been reminded by the
veterinary authorities that there is
also a dangerous side to the use of
these drugs. Through their improper
use, the following are some of the
results: Degeneration of liver cells,
damage tb kidney tubes, depletion of
bone marrroW, necrosis of muscles,
and in some instance hemorrhages.
The authorities •point out that these
are •not eolinati'n, occurrences, but they'
may result wileii sulfa drugs are used
