In quality the best of Ontario stuff was superior to the imported variety though some of it did not look as well. Westerners were satisfied if they could get the right kind at the right time. Mr. >f*oms warned the growers, however, that unless the outlet could be supplied regular­ ly and with good stuff, the greater portion of the Western market would be closed to Ontario. •‘A penny for your thoughts.” “I was thinking of what pa'pa said ’—that you hadn’t a penny in the world.” GRANTON Mrs, Irwin Carty Death came suddenly to Mrs. Ir­ win Carty following an acute heart attack.

Protein in Rations The stock on the farm was a topic recently dis, cussed by J. C. Steckley, professor of Animal Husbandry at the O. A. C. Legume hay was mentioned as an important ingredient in a pro­ tein-rich ration and af course such byproducts as cottonseed meal and linseed oil meal were mentioned as very useful ingredients. Professor Steeley declared that soynean meal was proving to be a very useful and rich protein ingredient. It carries about 35 per cent, protein and forj dairy cows particularly it -can be utilized apparently up to 20 per cent of the ration. He condemned it however, as a feed for hogs. Ground sweet clover seed had also proved to be of some use as a protein ingredi­ ent, but it is not highly palatable and can be fed only sparingly. of Markets that there early cab­ carrots, a early tomatoes LOVED DEVOTEDLY The Apple Maggot The apple maggot as a menace to the industry as thoroughly discus­ sed at the 73rd annual meeting of the Ontario Fruit Growers’ Associa­ tion. Prof. L. Caesar, provincial entomologist, stated that an orchard survey had shown every part of the province infested with the maggot. He attirbuted to weather conditions the increase in the last two years. Prof Caesar explained control methods in detail and said that if growers had known in advance- what I 10 weather conditions would be like,' they would have controlled the pest at least 75 per cent.

They break, and subsequently a crust is formed, and the intense burning, itching and smarting is almost unbearable. Burdock Blood Bitters is the remedy for giving relief to all such sufferers. Mrs. H. J. Frost, R.R. 2,Belleville, Ont., writes:—“I was troubled with eczema on my face, in fact all over my body. It would raise up in water blisters, break and scab over which was very irritating. A friend told me about Burdock Blood Bitters, and it proved of wonderful help to me.” HAD HIS NERVE Thirsday—'Jakes pa is out of wirk so Jakes unkel sed for him to send him out there doing the Depreshun but yesterday they got a tellegram and his unkel sed.

The report added the name of a large Canadian chain of stores, to the ever-increasing list of organizations handling gaded beef, exclusively. Another evidence of this consum­ er preference is the fact that, in the Dominion, some twenty per cent, more graded beef was sold last year, than in 1931..The estim­ ates for sales in 1932 were approxi­ mately 21,748,768 pounds as com­ pared with 17,947,275 pounds for the previous year.

Even where only confined in large box stalls the work takes but a few minutes and the cost amounts to less than five cents per head. While authorities advise continuing the work for three successive years for complete elimination, already after one season marked gains are report­ ed from Barrie Island. There was practically no stampeding of the cattle in summer , when the flies generally cause the most trouble, and the animals were in much bet­ ter flesh than usual. In Canada the warble fly is re­ sponsible for thousands of dollars direct loss to hides alone every year while the indirect damage in loss of flesh, and milk flow cannot be es-z timated.
