You stockmen have been doing it all your life, and your fathers did so before you. But why did they do itt No doubt it was observed that the stock liked to lick anything that hae a salty Lavor—a fish cask, or soli where salt had been spilled or a i.a• rural salt deposit. Like ail our ani- mal feeding practices, the feeding c: salt has developed through years psi .observation, until it is now rega,ari practiced by all the best heraseu€'i, and feeders.

' J. H. SAUNDERS, President 'A, M. HUNT, Secretacy Salt For Annuals a Necessity. Animals must eet salt trom so ee source if their belies are to I:unecio:e with full efticiei.oy. It no Sia, is available to the animal through the food medium or minerals given, :Le digestion is impaired. Large quaata- ties of salt are as harmful in pri:.. tice as no salt at all. But a little it absolutely essential in that it supplies the chlorine so necessary in formiae a minute part (the hydrochloric aciii portion) of the digestive fluid. The quantity of salt given to farm ani- mals should not exceed one-half ounce per day for fully grown horses and cattle, small animals in propor- tion. Do Not Salt Stock Too Heavily, Many people make the mistake of salting the stock heavily once a month during the summer, and for- getting to do 3t at all during the winter” period. The live stock kept by people who neglect this work usu- ally develops the appearance of neg- lect. The use of blocks of rock salt, in troughs or mangers erected in either the stable, yard or field is a good practice that'will pay good re- turns for the expense or effort. Just remember that the stock must have salt from some source, and that the salt that you give them supplies the chlorine essential in the formation of hydrochloric acid in the animals digestive system. Animals that have been kept with- out salt for a year become very un- thrifty, and animals that are given an overdose of salt do not thrive. Half an ounce a day is about right. It is not a food, but it helps to make the food materials available during the process of digestion.—L, Steven- son, Director of Exterasion, O.A.C., Guelph. MILKING IN HOLLAND. Milkers Carefully Trained to be . Clean, Kind and Thorough. In Denmark and Holland the milk- er starts his future profession at the age of 12 or 14 years. He then en- joys the privilege of being allowed to milk such cows as are in the drying ole perted, although it is done under the severe supervision of his father, who fears that his son or pupil may spoil the animal. I remember well my first lessons in milking on our Rolland farm, and how proud I was of being allowed to milk. Before jumping on the stall with my bucket and stool (the Holland stalls are some 2 la to 3 feet above the regular stable floor) the scow was given a tittle warning of my coming by a couple or caressing words, then the :uUc&ri was put between the knees, tee nottom on the inside of my right weeu:.,i shoe. The two trout teats ;sere milked first, and if one of the teals milked out sooner than the other I was inclined 16 take one of the back teats. This was not allowed because it might result in an unus- ual development and decreased stim- ulation of one of the quarters. The two' front teats had to be empty be- fore going over to 'the back teats. - These were the .preliminary instruc- tions. After being able to milk sev- eral drying off cows I was allowed to follow with the second class. This was another important step, and I believe it cost me still more sweat than the first lessons, for now I had to' milk rather quickly and with the .full hand, as stripping of the teats between thumb and forefinger was never allowed on our farm, Aside from the rather quick milking, we - •were not allowed to make strippers of,'our cows. Still there was a third class, and that was the milking of fresh cows and heifers. My father was always milking these, because he had :the idea that nobody else but himself could break them. The milk- ing of the fresh cows, thrice a day, was not such a hard job, but to milk those etuhborn heifers and never lose one's temper was a difficult job. In- stead of milking first two: the front quarters empty and afterwards the rear quarters;'with.,the heifer a front and • a ,rear. quarter were first milked and afterwards the other two oppe- site quarters. This was 'done for the purpose of obtaining an equal devel- opment. of, all four quarters in the future cow. We were then called fully skilled in she milking, science:: but let me add that we had to receive a good ,many 'side instructions, such as not to talk or be noisy during milking, 'never to be rough to any animal\ nev- er to lose one's 'temper, to milk al- ways one's own cow and in the same order and.at the same hours, and so forth. 'Phe best method ,of paying for the farm is to make it exceptionally pro- uc# d u zve 'and thetva ,do i Y to'this is to keep the right kind of dairy cattle t3•iereon e• • Sometimes' teeing ''is hard,'work,;' because °'rive ; - r riot g oitrid is •e•speiia,ily� •. lveady:but'beeause ,'lie hoe is inch setj,: at the, right angle or is dull and rusty.

It is more than two and one-third billions today. Our 'debts have greatly in- creased—our n- creased—our revenues must also go up. The farmer has to bear his share of the increased burden. That means he must increase his revenu--. Complaint has been heard that farmers under present conditions in Canada cannot make farming pay. And yet many thousands of Canadian farmers do make it pay. How Is It Done? - Patient and industrious " carry on" will do wonders, but some- thing more is needed. Too often "patient industry" is coupled with "dull persistance" in poorly thought out methods. Farmers today more than ever, must plan ahead, as well as "plug along"; indeed they have no op- tion, if they wish to succeed. Co-ordination of head and hand will mean real success. Farming 'in Canada has paid and pays now on many farms. It can be made to pay on almost every farm. Cana- dian agriculture has passed through low profit-making erae success- fully in the past and can do so again. Crop Returns Should be Increased On the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa some crop costs and crop profits in 1922 as contrasted with all -Ontario average crop costs and crop profits are given below- The all -Ontario figures are in brackets: Cost per acre Profit per acre Hay $21.13 ($13.50) $11.21 ($5:09) Corn for Forage $47.50 ($33.75) $10.38 ($2.86) Oats $26.47 ($19.32) $ 7.33 ( .04). Similar results can be shown from the Dominion Experimental Farms in every province. Experimental Farm crops are sometimes claimed to be produced at too great cost. Thousands of experiments, however, show that increased cropping costs,, wisely applied up to a reasonable point always increase crop profits. This is true on the Experimental Farm —and on any and every farm. With the increased cost of pro- duction, the higher standards of living now prevailing cannot be maintained by poor farm manage- ment, "boarder" milkers, scrub beeves, poor `quality hogs or non- profitable hens. ---.• That even under present condi- tions profits may be made is testi- fied by many skilful, observant and non -plunging farmers, who believe more in the policy of "slow but sure" and "pay as you go" rather than speed, with excessive bor- rowing and the often consequent disaster. The results on our,Experimental Farms also bear testimony to the value of thorough, skilful, work. The Farmer Must Manufacture But crops alone are wet enough. The farmer must change his crops into less bulky and more high- priced products—milk, pork, beef, mutton, poultry, etc. With fair yielding cows dairying shows good profits in Canada. The average cow has increased her yield 25% in the last ten years. She can quite readily go up an- other 25% and more, and there's where the profit lies. Better feed- ing, better selection and better breeding will do the job—feed, weed, breed. To do better feeding means better pastures and more generous supplies of palatable roughage. Short rotations including clover and ensilage crops '(corn, sunflower, pea and oat, etc.) will provide feed in abundance for both summer and winter. The experiments and in- vestigations. which the Dominion Department of Agriculture have carried on prove that farming scientifically and systematically undertaken will pay profits. The records and particulars of such, work in every province are avail- able to the . Canadian farmer. Are ,you growing grain, or producing seed ot interested in fruit?
