A prominent authority hal estimated that twenty -nix million dollars is the price paid by farmers and poultry raisers for loss through diseases in poultry flocks in Canada in the past year. Most of this loss is caused by internal parasites and. much of this is preventable. A good deal of it can be avoided by keeping the young chicks away from the adult birds and on absolutely clean soil Continued warm bright weather during the first two weeks of May did much to improve the appearance of alfalfa, clover and fall wheat, and new seeding recovered to some extent, according to reports com- ing in from all parts of rhe province. There were many crops plowed under this spring, but many farmers reported that the land has never worked better than during the pr sent month of seeding The dairyman, and for that matter the owner of any class of live stock, has enough to contend with without putting up with a bunch of low producers. The burden of the low producer is felt most in time of feed scarcity and low price of dairy pro- ducts. She is a liability, but yet it is rather difficult for the dairy man to send her to the block and take his loss. This question of keeping records of milk, cost of feed, and getting rid of poor cows has been discussed times without number, and yet many low producers continue 'o oc- cupy a stall and consume as much feed as its stabiemate whi.h the records prove has returned a eubstanti. 1 profit over the cost of feed and labor, OuMay 14th, the last day for appeals against the assessment of the village, the following appeals had been handed the clerk:—Frank Bainton, residential pro- perty too high; Andrew Coombs, business block too hi,h; Ella Gibson, business as- sessment not applicable; T.

She was successful in winning abeautiful prize for surgical technique comprising a case of instruments awarded by Dr, Sav- age of Guelph. The provincial authorities are leaving no stone upturned in their campaign against weeds, Many of the highway; have the usual prolific crops along the sides of the road, Some of the farms throughout the country have crops which will soon be ripening and spreading their seeds to the four winds. Delinquents in this respect will be given an opportunity to explain the reason for their contempt of the law as soon as the weed inspector makes his rounds. In speaking about weed control it is a good plan to put in rape or buckwheat, two crops that can go in right up to the middle of July. The first named makes a splendid sheep pasture while the latter is unexcelled as a producer of feed grain, Both can also be ploy ed un ter for enrich- ing the soil. Buckwheat is one of the most popular crops to sow in the re -chard about July 1st, controlling the weeds, and surplus moisture and furnishing splendid feed and a run for poultry and hogs. More and r ore fertilizer is being used in Ontario because our land has been de - picked of plant foods and also because farmers are gradually learning more about the use of fertilizers, Considerable study must be given the subject of fertiliz ere before the best results can be obtained, Good drainage, tillage, eed and cultural methods are all necessary before fertilizers can be expected to make profitable re- turns. Properly used, commercial fertil izers will usually give splendid results, lower tae cost of production and increa.e farm returns, If ti.e public would kindly co-operate with us and send in all the local news, or call us up by phone, they would assist greatly in improving the appearance of this paper.
