The consumption of lamb uud mut
ton in Canada is showing a rapid in
crease. During the year ending last
March, upwards of 40,000 more
sheep and lambs were slaughtered in
inspected houses than during the
previous year. The totals were: 1,-
008,835 cattle; 649,994 sheep and
2,453,704 hogs. However, there was
a decrease in the nmber of cattle
and hogs slaughtered at these ab-
batoirs, The packers are said to be
making increased efforts to improve
the quality of the products they turn
opt. More of the finished and pre
pared meats ready for the table are
being manufactured, looking to the
development of the home market.

Early Buying Pays
The poultryman who goes to
cockerels early in the season
not only have a large selection to
choose from but will be able to ob
tain them at a more conservative
price. The habit of putting matters
•off to the last moment often results
in securing fowl that are not entire
ly satisfactory for the price paid.
Another advantage in early buying is
that the poultryman can be surer of
the binds that he wants at that time
of the year as the early maturing
birds will show up to a greater ad
vantage than later in the 'season.
Early buying also allows the cock
erels to become accustomed to the
farm, thereby increasing their use

Need Cleaner Soil and! Good Seed
In spite of the fact that official
reports indicate that over a per
iod of years there is no decline in
crop yields, there are still many dis
tricts where the impression prevails
that the harvests are not what they
used to be, A case in point is in
Wellington County, where the agri
cultural representative has found
that there are many farmers who are
not satisfied with the results in re
cent years and are sending samples
of seed oats to be tested. This dis
satisfaction may be due in part to
the short crop of 1929 when lack of
moisture cut the yields almost every
where, a seasonal condition which
should not give the impression that
either soil or seed- have run out.
There aro now available varieties of
wheat, barley and oats that outyield
the other sorts, but even the best se
lected seeds cannot give results if
the soil is not in condition or if the
fields are overrun with weeds.

Tankage for Weaning Pigs
Tankage is recommended as the
best substitute for weaning pigs.
Pigs fed tankage instead of skim
med milk may not make quite as
rapid gains during the first month
after weaning as pigs fed on- skim
milk, but they- will be much more
thrifty than pigs fed grain alone.
Tankage may be mixed with grain at
the rate of five pounds to 95 pounds
of grain for the first week after
weaning, increasing them to from
seven to ten pounds in 100 pounds
-of feed mixture until the pigs reach
a weight from 50 to 60 pounds. The
small pigs may be allowed to help
themselves to tankage if it is plac
ed in a small self-feeder rather than
mixing, it with the grain.
A Useful Bulletin!
“Paints and Painting’’ is the title
Bovine Tuberculosis
Farmers are urged to take advan
tage of the provisions made by the
Dominion Government, to have their
cattle tested for tuberculosis. Each
municipality, by a petition signed by
two-thirds of the cattle owners there
in, may have a veterinary test their
lie’rds for tuberculosis, and all ani
mals found infested will be shipped
away, and the proceeds given to the
owner, together -with a bonus of $40
pei’ head for grade cattle and up to
$100 per head for purebred cattle.
This would effectively eradicate tu
berculosis from the restricted areas
thus formed, with little or no loss to
the owners of the stock.

THE PETRIE QUINTETTE; INSERT, CONSTANCE NEVIIAE-JOHNS
I.
One of the most unusual entertainment companies before the public today is the Metric Quin
tette and Constance Neville-Johns, which will be one of the big musical attractions of the Coming .
Canadian Chautauqua Festival here.
The Petries are phenomenally popular, and rightfully so, as everyone will agree who sues their
clean, up-to-the-minute programs. Vocal quartets, saxophone quartets, brass and string ensembles,
are used by these lively entertainers whose programs range from classical selections to the gayest of
popular melodies. The Petries are pleasant people, genial, attractive, full of “pep” and spirit, and
they win their audiences the moment they step upon the platform.
M1SS Constance Nevllle-JohnS is a charming coloratura soprano who comes from far-away Aus
tralia. Rhe is a graduate of the Melbourne University atid has appeared in concert, opefa and as
aoloist With symphony Orchestras throughout Australia, New ZSeaiand, Italy and the United States.
