Besides - furnishing the frame- work through bone formation, they serve important roles in regulating, maintaining; and' reproducing, says Morris Novikoff, Poultry Division-, Central Experimental Farm. Fortu- nately moet of the essential minerals are supplied by the common ingredi- ents of a poultry ration. While moat feeds of plant origin are low in chlor- ine and sodium and, with the excep- tion of green feeds, low .in calcium, feeds of animal origin are rich in most of the important minerals re- quired by birds. The tendency, how- ever, is to reduce the amount of feed from animal sources to a minimum; for example, substituting meat meal in part by soya bean meal and also reducing the •amount of fish meal in the ration. The mineral problem thug becomes critical. ,Wliet, then, must be added to the diet to supplement the minerals removed by reduction in feeds from animal sources? On the surface it appears a simple 'matter to include mor bonemeal, or detluorin- ated rock phosphate to supply addi- tional calcium and phosphorus or oys ter shell or limestone ,for calcium on - only, iodized salt' for sodium, chlorine and iodine, and manganese sulphate for manganese. • Knowledge in mineral metabolism is as yet very limited since there is' much to be determined with regard to the so-called "trace" elements, the minerals that are present in very minute quantity in the ration. It has, been shown that certain deficiencies are sometimes found ,when bird range on some soils and are not found ,where they are raised on other areas. It is evident, that. as soils are -re- pleted of their natural minerals by continued crop farming, these defici- encies will show up in a lowered min- eral content of the plant and thus in the ration. it /should be mentioned that cer- tain 'minerals when .found in excess in forage crops or grains are definite- ly poisonous.„-Forex'aurpie, selenium at a level of five parts per million and fluorine at two, parts pert' fnillion are harmful to poultry.. The • difficulty in the balancing of "minerals is the in- teraction and inter -relationship that ocpirr 'w-ithin the ,bird itself, one mineral affecting the function of an- other. For example, an excess of calcium increases the -requirement for manganese, potassium increase must be counterbalanced by sodium, while the 'presence of arsenic counteracts the poisonous effects of selenium. It can readily be seen that the kind and amount of minerals in each poul- try ration will depend upon the min- eral content of each of the ingredi- ents and the formula used for the.. ration. As 'the mineral content 'var- ies wider' within each ingredient as well as in different rations it is ob- viously impossible for: anyone to make up a so-called "mineral mix- ture" to be added in a stipulated amount to anyand all rations. • The fact that the available knowl- edge as'yet is so limited an'd'the re- action of one element with another is so intricate suggeststhat the, addi- tion of trace elements to mixed feeds for general use is as yet not justified excepting where proved deficiencies of such elements exist. Dipping Sheep E'armers who raise sheep•know that sheep kept free from ticks and lice are in better health, are. more easily kept in good condition, eat less, and grow more wool, all of which means' more profit. Sheep owners also know that sheep should be dipped at least once a year —preferably as soon as possible after shearing, but many owners givg their flocks a second dipping in the fall in September or October to • ensure the comfort and the health of the sheep during the winter, . Where a community dipping tank is • not convenient for small flocks an distant parts, it is not necessary to construct an elaborate dipping plant. A large ,barrel or trough large enough to hold sufficient dip to immerge a sheep will answer the purpose.' • A small draining platform can easily be built so that the dipped sheep may stand until the dip has drained off. Most standard dips will produce ef- fective results,. provided the directions of the manufacturers are carefully followed. Dips are sold in two forms —powder and liquid. The powder form requires a little longer to pre- pare and more caution sncl,exactitude in the preparation of the bath. How- has- the a :dvants:ge claimed by they manefaetui•ers that the Powder sediment remains long. enough in the fleece to kill eggs when they hatch. The liquid form has the advantage of being easier to prepare and is'ef€ec- tive, but, to ensure complete eradica- Mon a second dipping in two or three, weeks is recommended. This is it saregnard applicable to all forms. of dip. Young lambs should be kept away, from the ewes for some hours after dipping, because the, dap from the fleece invariably rung off the points of the teats, and therehave beet eases of nursing lambs having been *dieted. • he xaeet MIr n... lerne of �lle ;4olt 5 1 w•4 tteialau o i& .l'eghe„ateii} 4(Continued from Page 2) taining 15,000 gallons of gasoline, 'but forturtatel"Y these were not Ignited., It was just a year ago that Clifford had its last fire, at that time the home of Mr, eeorge Whitehouse was burned to the ground. — Wingham Ad- vance -Times.
