The Provincial Entomolog ist reports an average increase of be tween two and three-fold over last year, The increase was brought-about- chiefly by the very favorable .weather for the insect last Jurte'hnd 'July? In’ counties where, there was mo..clean-up. last spring the insect multiplied much more -than where the clean-up was made. This outbreak ha's shown that the borer' is still a. real menace'to corn, growing, dition, consequently dry and tough, and, too frequently, poorly dressed- Poultry to be appetizing must be well fleshed and properly dressed, . There are .two principal methods of finishing poultry — pen-feeding and crate feeding. The former method is generally used for turkeys and wat erfowl, the latter for chickens of all ages. Some feeders' follow the prac tice of pen feeding for a couple of weeks and then “finish off” in. crates. Batteries are. commonly used in in tensive plants, but for ordinary farm use crates are equally satisfactory and are inexpensive, The quarters where the birds are to be “finished” should be dry, epol and well ventilated,; and the birds should have quiet and free dom from excitement. The general .purpose of heavy weight breeds are best suited for crate feeding and best results can be ex pected . only, wh.er.e strong, vigorous, sturdy type birds 'are used. Before starting,'■‘tlid birds-should be dusted with flowers of sulphur or some oth er suitable preparation to ensure their freedom’from lice. ’ Each pig is caught, the iron placed on the back of the tongue, the pig marked and put back ih the pen; this is repeated every other day, starting when the pigs are 4 to b days old un- til they are three weeks old or rather as/ soon as they start to eat from a small trough. THESterling Trusts Corporation . TORONTO Cornwall Ploughing Meet Although 'Official announcement will not be made until the annual meeting of the Ontario Ploughmen's Association at Toronto in February, ’members of Cornwall Board of Trade have been given assurance that the International Ploughing Match and Farm Machinery Demonstration will be held at Cornwall in October, 1936. The four-day event is expected to attract from 75,000 to .100,000 people, and the Cornwall Board gave its un animous endorsement to the scheme. J. W. McRae Lochiel and 'J. J, Tier ney, Brockville, vice-president and director respectively of the Ontario •Ploughmen’s Association, stated that a survey had. been made and suitable lands' found in the immediate vicinity of,Cornwall. They had also received assurance that 135 to 150 teams of horses could be obtained for the, match. With these factors settled, they were' in a position to state that the match would be held near Corn wall;' providing they could be assured of Civic and-County Councils and the citizens in general. ST V V D ■M A Jm Jr , A FEW minutes before bedtime, pour yourself a bowl of Kellogg’s Corn- Flakes and milk or cream. Eat slowly, enjoying that, cool crispness, that de licious flavor. Then climb into bed. Try it any night when you’re rest less. You’ll sleep better, wake refreshed in the morning1 Science has proved it. Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, easy to digest, eliminate hunger pains without over loading the stomach. Kellogg’s are a grand food any time. Appetizing. Rich in energy. Splendid for breakfast, lunch, or the children’s supper. Anemia in Pigs Reports are often received of the large mortality among little pigs prior ‘to the age of weaning. The little pigs, which have usually been doing well and putting on weight suddenly be come unthrifty. They lose weight, the hair becomes rough and the pigs ap pear listless. Diarrhoea is a common symptom. If examined they are found to be very pale and anemic which is most apparent in the white of the eyes and in their bloodless ears, and by th$ absence of a healthy pink color from the skin. Deaths due to anemia are frequent. This condition is due to deficiency of iron in the blood and is particular ly serious in larger piggeries, where the pigs are on a carefully balanced ration. The treatment used at the Kapus- kaSing Experimental Station has pro ven very satisfactory and consists of a powdered “reduced iron” which can be purchased at any drug store. Ab solute accuracy of dosage is not im portant, and for practical purposes the quantity can be roughly measured as the amount which can be piled up on a small Canadian one cent piece. . Some Hints on Honey . Granulated honey pan be brought back to its liquid form by standing the container in water and heating it to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. A higher temperature than that is likely to darken the colour of the honey and drive off the aroma and flavours; As soon as the honey has become liquid, cool it as rapidly as possible, but do not put into .the refrigerator. Honey absorbs moisture from the air and loses aroma and flavour rap idly; therefore, it should not be kept ■uncovered any,longer than is neces sary. Keep extracted honey in a cool dry place, but honey in the comb should be stored where it is warm’ and dry. CANADIAN BOND QUO TATIONS Furnished bv Isard, Robertson & Co.

GRAPE-FRUIT 4 for ... (Experimental Farms Note) Experimental work conducted at the Dominion Experimental Farm, Nappan, Nova Scotia, during the last few years has demonstrated that feeds commonly grown or manufactured in Eastern Canada will supply practical ly all the food nutrients necessary to properly develop and finish the bacon hog. Cost of production studies in the growing of the common Cereal Crops show that these crops (oats, barley and wheat), quality considered, can be produced more cheaply than they can be purchased.^ With these points ill mind, there can be no hesitation in recommend ing the following rations for general use: First period — from weaning at 6 to 8 weeks to 100 pounds live weight; Ground oats, 300 pounds; ground bar ley, 600 pounds; ground wheat, 200 pounds; skim-milk 11 to 2 pounds per pound of grain mixture, or, high grade Osh meal, 8 pounds per 100 lbs, of meal mixture. Second Period * from 100 pounds live weight to finish at 210 pounds: G/rOtmd oats, 100 pounds; ground bat- Matchless Flavor and Crispness In fairness to yourself and your family, don’t accept substitutes for Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. Kellogg’s are the stand ard of quality everywhere — by far the world’s largest-selling ready-to-eat cereal. Their flavor and crispness can’t be duplicated. Always oven-fresh, pro tected by the patented WAXTITE inner bag — an exclusive Kellogg feature. The famous red-and-green package gives you outstanding value. Many generous servings for a few cents. Quality and purity guaranteed. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. OVEN- F RES H FLAVOR-PERF E CT4^ ley, 600 pounds; ground wheat 300 pounds; skim-milk, 1 pound per pound grain mixture, or, fish meal, 5 pounds per 100 pounds grain mixture. The age to start on this ration is given as 6 to 8 weeks, the most suit able age for weaning. Pigs younger than this are not able to stand a heavy ration. If found necessary to wean at a younger age, a ration that has proven satisfactory here is equal parts ground oats, with the hulls sift ed out, or ground hulless oats, and white middlings. The pigs at this farm are started on this before wean ing, in a pen or creep separate from the mother sow and they suffer no setback when this practice is follow ed. Add a little the mixture and es gradually. When feeding ove ration, a mineral mixture is nec essary. A suitable one may be made up of equal parts of ground lime stone, common salt and bone char or bone meal, and fed at the rate of 4 pounds per 100 pounds of grain ra tion. Skim-milk, however, is not essen tial for the proper development of the bacon hog. High grade fish meal has proved to be an excellent substitute. Feed three times daily for the first period and twice daily from then to finishing. Regularity in feeding is es sential to success. Variations in the above rations may be made if conditions warrant.

Mr. family have the sympathy of the com munity in the death of the former's mother, Mrs. Thomas Sr., which took place in Listowel, They attended the funeral last Saturday. What might have proved to be a fatal accident occurred at the home of Mr. Charles Gathers. He had the bull outside when the animal attack ed him squeezing him against the stone wall and fracturing a couple of ribs. He managed to crawl to the pump-lmuso and then to the stable. The frenzied animal in his attempt to follow, broke the pump. The dog assisted him by trying to drive the animal away. We are glad to know that Mr, Gathers is doing as well as could be expected, and we wish him a speedy recovery. While motoring to Wingham last Saturday night, Mr. Raymond Hen ning had the misfortune .to side-swipe Mr. Eli Bolt’s sleigh, which he was meeting. The sleigh was overturned, throwing the occupants to the*ground. The team ran 'some distance after breaking the tongue from the sleigh and stopped when they came in con tact with a telephone pole. We are glad to state that no One was seri ously hurt and all were able to pro ceed to their homes. Mrs. John Gowdy spent a day last week in London and while there call ed on her brother, Mr. David Vogan, who is in the hospital. Christmas visitors at David L. Weir’s were: Mr. and Mrs. Harold Weir and family, of Kitchener; Miss es Hazel and Minnie Weir, of Tor onto; Wm. Weir, of Creighton Mine, and Mr. Jno. Lane of Kirkland Lake. The annual Christmas entertain ment of Salem S. S. was as usual a decided success. The play entitled “A Sign Unto You” was appropriate and entertaining, as were also the various other items of the programme. Santa arrived in due time with his treat for the children, which was greatly en joyed by them. A number of young folks from Sal em attended the play “Windy Wil lows" in Wroxeter on Friday even ing. Work of Mercy carried on by Voluntary Contribution* The hopes and plans of those who are dependent on their daily earnings suffer a severe reverse when sickness comes. There is one disease more dreaded than any other. It is consumption. In addition to tho physical suffering this brings, earning power stops and savings may be swept away.Nourishing food, fresh air and happy living conditions arc imperative in throwing off this disease; but tliis is beyond the reach of many. For this reason, for over thirty-nine years, the National Sanitarium Association has maintained the hospitals at Weston and Mfiskokafor adults. For tuberculous children, there is the Queen Mary Hospital. At all three, health and happiness is being brought back to those whose only handicap is lack of funds. There is not one from whom the whole cost of maintenance is received. Tliis work of mercy could never have been carried on without public support. This year, a falling off in hospital income from provincial and municipal grants, and a decrease in voluntary contri-’ buttons, have increased- the problem of maintaining the three hospitals.
