deficiency of Calcium, 'phosplzorua Or

a young animal dotes not haven enough

weah;'*.Older animals, may suffer from
slight atttae1 s of rickets, but usually
recover provided that thei>i bo.nee
!nave been .built tip to strength during
their growing ,period. Young. bulls,
however, do 'not reenter . 'as easily.
Indeed, in young bulls, rickets may
persist, weakening the animal and
reducing its market value.
The, most effective Precaution
agaf,nst rkeptsis a diet _containing
ad - uate'•oaicium, Phsoh o orus' and • 'Vit-
amin,
etl .
D as the ability of the body to
make use of oaleium depends on,, the
presence of phosphorus atidd Vitamin
D in the diet. Well -cured' hay should
contain enough of both minerals to
-protect an . animal, but whether it does
depends on the presence of these min-
erals in' the soil -where.' the hay is
grown. Not should a mineral supple-
ment be always depended .on to sup-
ply the deficiency. As. Dr. Mitchell
points out, if the, soil prodt;cinr the
animal's feed is naturally rich hi cal-
cium; excess quantities of calcium in
the feed ration :will not be aneorlied.
Accordingly, this authorityr"•on animal
diseases says that each cage of rick-
ets should be treated by a veterin-
arian
eterinarian who is thoroughly familiar with.
local soil and feeding condition`s.
Early winter and its consequent
eaf1'r stabling is not the sole condi-
tion leading to 'rickets. A few years
ago, live stock in Eastern Canada suf-
fered "from rickets when ,rainy wea-
ther during the baying season inter-
fered with proper .curing of, the hay.
Many animals will recover from
rickets when spring• sunshine assists
them ,tor absorb the calcium their
bones require. But as • the disease
can greatly retard the proper growth
of young live stock, it is wise to 'call
in a veteritiaria•n at the first sign of
the disease. The symptoms • to watch
for are sore feet, • sometimes arth-
ritis and—in some individual animals
'—bandy legs.

NEW VICE 'PEt-:ESTI2ENT
•
The..auctitoriune of Wiirgham United
Church ..was Sired for . the twentieth
annual meeting of Tluron-Plcesbyterial
Wouran's igissiopary, Society op,
Thursday, April ,35th. • The president,
Mrs. C. Tavener, veAy. ably -conducted
the • morning and, afternoon -sessions.
"Forward in the Crusade.Fon Christ
and His Kingdom" was the theme fo'r.
the flay. •"What is—my leart,• n ,tire
Crusade?" was the • thought •'in the
meani)g worship service, cotaliicted
by Mrs. W. McVittie o Wes fie and
Mrs, H. Wilson, . Brut 1 ssels.
"Quiet Places" was the thought in
the afternoon worship, led by Mrs. R.
year's production, according to. the,
Dominion Department of Agriculture.
Reviewing fruit -growing conditions in
1995 and its'probable effect on growth
in 1946, the Department. says that. in
Eastern Canada grapes and strawber-
ries fared' well iii 1945, but cdld' wet
weather at blossom time drastically
reduced the set of other fruit and was
largely responsible for the small,
drops. Adverse weather conditions
throughout the season and the inclin,
ation of growers to neglect the spray
program because of the poor set Of
fruit, resulted in under -development
and .a heavy infestation of fungus
and insect pests. This lowered °the
vitality of trees, particularly of apple
trees:,.in parts of Ontario and Quebec
and the eixtefit to which orchards can
recover is still undetermined,
,,Growers. are making every effort to
restore trees to normal vigour by
careful •pruiing, the application of fer-
tilizers and a thorough spray program
this season. The mild• winter was
helpful,, although the warm weather
during the last three weeks of March
brought the buds along prematurely
and there is still a possibility that
late frosts may cause some damage.
Weather conditions alone will deter-
mine not only the extent to whish
trees will,.recover from the effects of
lust season but also the size of the
.1946' crop
,. British Columbia produced a record
crop, of tender tree. and small ftuits
in 1915 although the apple crop was
somewhat .smaller than usual. Pros-
peets for 1946 so far are excellent.
73.C. orchards wintered well, moisture
supplies are, good and, if weather con-
ditions are favorable; there 'should be
auother'good crop of all fruits with
e substantial increase in apple' pro-
duction over 1945:
Flowering' Trees •Fbr Every Fancy
Trees in city gardens provide shade
and amass of softening green foliage.
Large trees fulfil these purposes bet-
ter than small ones. On small ,city
lots, However; large.' trees have dis-
tinct disadvantages 'becattse of their
wide spreading, tops an travelling
hungry roots. 'They can only be plant-'
ed -advisedly . along the parkway at
each side of •the roadway, well away
from... the front of the houses. For
the small garden area at the back of
lots only medium or small sized trees
are useful, says R. W. Oliver, Divi-
sion of Horticulture, Central Experi-
mental Farm, Ottawa.
To justify the arnourit of space they
occupy such trees should provide
attractive color effects at different
times of the year: In spring it may
be the warm glow" or the• expanding
leaf buds of redbud, the rosier splash
of color of a r•osybloom crabapple
in the middle,, of May, or the bright
green of the opening leaves of the
weeping birch against the silvery
grace of its trunk and branches. Many
species 'of ,pl.uni and cherry are use-.
fu: in spring, one of •the most at-
tractive being the May-daytree which
'has a light feathery appearance when
,covered with its narrow racemes• of
small white flowers.
--Later in ., the season, the yellow-
:
,=ood_ With its long. chains of. white
flowers swaying in the breeze, or the
large fuzzy heads of bloom on the
Japanese lilac add a definite attrac-
tive touch. Catalpa and horse chest-
nut are too large for, most city lots
but very showy where space permits.
In late suin.mer, the . show comes
from brightly colored fruits: brilliant
scarlet chasten; of mountain ash..ber-
ries; the changing reds of hawthorne
and crabapple and the glossy, black .of
nanny -berry or," black haW. Autunin
ends the season with a blaze. of scar-
let, crimson and gold from Abe fol -
lake SIT- siicli small trees as the aniur
and tartarian maples., Any of these
email trees will 'give --a pleasing note
of • Color to • lend emphasis to shine
-part of the garden at a particular sea-
son. • Through all the year their size
gives sufficient mass, to create in. ac-
cent point to mark corners., . frame
views; and create a background for
the 'bright cojors of shrubs and herb-
aceous plants. •
