it? 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

where salt had been spilled or a i.a•

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.

At Quebec recently the Hon.
Athanase David, Provincial Secretary
in the Quebec Cabinet, officiated at
the unveiling of a monument erected
by the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company in memory of Abraham
Martin, who was the first known
Canadian of Scottish descent and the
first King's pilot on the St. Lawrence
River. The Plains of Abraham re-
'ceived their name from him, he re-
ceiving a grant of the land from
Champlain in 1617. The unveiling
of the monument, a handsome.gran-
ite shaft seven feet high surmounted
by: a globe supported by thistles, 'was
.an important event and was attended
by a large number of prominent citi-
zens and political representatives.

He ne'er forgot he was a Scot,
Thrifty and shrewd, he was, I wot,
Canty and gaucy,
Proud of the nickname that he got,

GOOD MONEY IN GOOD FARMING
-v14
:I,s
:0"1 H
nl
"Let's Get to Work and
Pay Off the Mortgage"
NINE years ago Canada's na-
tional debt was about one-
third of a billion. 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.
