Many Attend Swine Courso
Western Ontario Junior Farmers
were in attendance to the number of.
S7 at the special educational .swine
-course held at the Toronto packing
plants in February. By means of
lectures and demonstrations on live
hogs' and dressed carcasses, the
young men were shown clearly why
the best type of hog to satisfy con
sumers’ demands is the most profit
able to produce. In the grading
competition held in conjunction with
the course, Lome Simpson, of R.
R. No. 2, Blenheim, won first prize.
George Goodfellow of Teeswater
won the first prize in the live hogs
competition, while Orvie Bauman,
of Foradale, won ..the first prize in
the dressed carcasses competition.
Time to Prune
The time for the pruning of ;
apple orchard is in the spring
fore the growth starts, but if this
is impossible it may be done immed
iately after the trees leaf out. It is
desirable to have the wounds, if
large, heal as rapidly as possible to
prevent decay. When ' done in the autumn or
the wood is likely to
split.

Pasteurizing Recommended
When a bottle of milk is held up
and observed from below, any dirt
. or sediment which has settled to the
, bottom is clearly visible through the
glass against the
ground of the milk,
meat is soon noticed
er and usually leads
dairies. Such dirt
lessness in the production and handl
ing for dirt has no place in any
food product, least of all( milk. The
practice of pasteurizing milk in the
home is strongly recommended for
.all localities where milk properly
pasteurized is not obtainable.
Inspection Needed
It is stated by A. Fulton, special
representative of the Ontario Fruit
Growers’ Association, that Ontario
apple exporters have a great many
difficulties to overcome if they are
to land apples in Great Britain in
good, sound condition, The ques
tion of slacks and scalds are para
mount and should be gone into im
mediately by the shippers in order
to he ready for the next shipping
season. Shippers in Ontario could

Must be Well-Drained
The ideal soil for apples seems
to be a deep, well-drained sandy
loam with good moisture holding ca
pacity and a moderately pervious
subsoil. It has been shown also,
that apple trees will grow on so-call
ed poor .soils and will give good re
sults if properly managed. Soil
rdrainage, however, is an important
■factor in relation to tree growth and
productiveness. Fruit trees re
quire a good range for root develop
ment and this desirable condition
■does not obtain on poorly drained
soil. It is thus seen that for per
manent and profitable results the
soil for apples and other fruit trees
as well should be deeply and thor-
Grading' of Cheese Pays
The grading of food products ex-
.ported from Canada has had the ef
fect, during the past few years, of
greatly increasing the demand for
Canadian foodstuffs throughout the
British Empire and in foreign coun
tries. A recent case has been cited
which shows that in 1922 Canadian
cheese had been selling in England
at a price of one or two cents per
pound cheaper than that at New Zea
land. With the advent of grading
the price has now risen until the
Canadian product commands the
highest price on the British market
for imported cheese, two cents
higher than the pried paid for New
Zealand cheese.

Lime and Manure
Manure is the best fertilizer ob
tainable, but -manure alone will not
bring full returns to acid soil. When
the .soil is acid the plants cannot ob
tain the food from manure that they
would if there were lime present to
faciliate the action of the bacteria
which form nitrates as these can
work only when lime is present.
Thus lime ensures the full effect of

Weekly Crop Report
The most recent weekly crop re
port at hand concerns chiefly the
matter of live stock and the milk
situation. In Brant cattle on feed
are reported to be fewer than us
ual. Dufferin reports a great in
terest in the breeding of hogs with
requests for good quality breeding
stock. Seed oats of No. 1 grade
are selling for ,$1.00' per bushel.
Cows are in good condition in Dun
das County and at a recent sale
grade Holsteins averaged around
.$100 per head. A .plentiful supply
of apples is indicated in Durham
with lowered prices of eggs. Essex
reports a surplus in the milk supply,
which is becoming a problem. This
is the case also with Frontenac. In
Glengarry live stock is in poor con-
' dition due to scarcity of food and
poor pasturage last fall. Purebred
live stock is .commanding good prices
in Haldimand. Fall wheat is look
ing fresh and green in Huron and a
good supply of red clover Is indicat
ed in Lambton. A big demand has
obtained .for certified seed potatoes
in. Leeds.
To everyone at some time
comes a golden opportunity
opportune words the opportunity
of a lifetime. The four days’ free
triii given to the Junior Farmers at
the R'oyal was none other than just
such an opportunity. The varied
program presented enabled us to
learn the circumstances of city life
and to broaden our minds as to the
chances our 'own occupation affords.
On the journey to the city we were
fascinated by the' fine country and
beautiful towns. This surely is a
wonderful province. The 'comfortable
means of travelling reminds us of
the untiring efforts of our fore
fathers when they constructed our
Canadian railroads. The first
glimpse of Toronto -was indeed a
welcome, because we would 'soon
have tho opportunity of enjoying or
dislikng city life.
It was to us, quite an honor to
have the privilege of staying at the
Royal York Hotel. There we regis
tered, received our ribbons and
badges. Our room wa’5- very nice

proved by the greater amount ot

The‘killing and, dressing -of fowl was
the main feature of the poultry de

by the white, plump, tender flesh.

ing the meat immediately after the
the slaughtering was finished. This
insures the consumer that the meat
is free from disease. The Indust
rial and Development Council of the
Canadian Meat Packers provided
lunch for us at the Harris Abbatoirs.
In the afternoon we were guests of
the Massey-Harris Company. The
making of the many different parts
of implements was very interesting,
especially the disc for disc-harrows.
Nearly every implement from a large
combine to a walking plow was on~
display. A cafeteria supper follow-
by music, pictures, addresses and
singing furnished the social part of
the program. The evening was
spent at the Fair. It was officially
opened by the Lieut-Governor of. On
tario. Anyone could not help ad

cal ride and the old fashioned nodd
ing walking horse, “.Springtime."
Thursday morning we were shown
the systematic way that the T. Ea
ton Company has of handling mail
orders. Each worker has just one
item to look after and in that way
no one gets confused. The afternoon
was spent studying the judging of
dairy cattle at the Royal. Accom
panied by our Agricultural Repre
sentative a number of us viewed the
horses in the*1 barns adjoining the
Coliseum. In the evening we were
guest's of the T. Eaton Company to
a banquet in the King Edward Ho
tel. Mr.'McGee acted as chairman.
The speakers included Hon. .Mr. Fin

spoke of the opportunities of North

there. I have wondered since if the

io. Dr. Christie emphasized the
need of education and urged us to
take a” course at Guelph. The dis
tribution of the medals to intercoun
ty winners took place here.
Friday morning we visited' parlia

a group photograph taken. A'tour

a very interesting sight. The remain
