Overfeeding at farrowing time makes her feverish and nervous; more likely to trample. her offspring and less able, often, to secrete milk properly. - Don't feed the sow at all during the twenty-four hours before farrow- ing, and during the week prior to that keep corn out of the ration. Corn is an especially heating feed, Instead, feed ground oats, barley or bran, any one or two of these, or all threeif you like. • - - And don't feed the sow at all for from twelve to eighteen. hours 'after farrowing: After that, even, go slow,, taking from a week to ten days" to get the animal back on- full feed. Scours . in young pigs is tine of the troublesome ;conditions which arise from faulty :feeding of the mo- ther. Next in importance to rationing comes condition of the pen. Clean, dry pens do much to prevent diges- tive disorders and rheumatism in boththe sow and the pigs.

Canadians Use a Good Deal Of Im- ported Fruit, Vegetables - and 'Grain—Their Value Estimated at Nearly $169,000,000' --The Mys- tery of 'Nitrogen—No Alcohol in Silage Milk, . (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Are Canadian farmers getting the full advantage of their home market? A study of the import figures for the' fiscal year ending March 31st last reveals the amazing extent to which the food stuffs we most pride - our- selves in producing are imported for consumption in Canada. Take fruits for instance, Of apples we imported 155,201 barrels wort'? $77.5,819. They weren't all - early apples either,. for 30,028 barrels were brought in during March, ,During the year we imported: Berries, $114,- 892; -cherries, $83,349; cranberries, $212,894; grapes, $961,443; peaches, $403,312; pears, $566,729; plums, $303,495, and strawberries, ' $785,- 150; 785,-150; a total of .$3,907,083. Add to this $1,786,522 for dried apples, apri- cots, peaches, plums and prunes; and $492,828 for canned peaches, jellies and jams and imported fruits and fruit juices being $26,409,235, be- sides an item of $3,728,475 for nuts, Much of this was, of course, for sub- tropical fruits, but someof these might be substituted, to our financial and gustatory advantage, by home, grown products. For instance, we might eat more roast apples and few- er oranges. While dealing with mat tars -horticultural a bill for $1,064,- 311 for plants, shrubs, trees and vines might be mentioned. Coming to vegetables, our total bill for the fresh article was $3,575,070, of which cabbage accounted for $187,689, onionsfor$487,009, pota- toes for $537,291 and tomatoes for $965,941, a total for these four com- monly grown articles of ;;2,177,930. Of canned vegetables we imported $.626,210 worth; of sauces, catsups and pickles, $518,660. Our total out- lay for vegetables and vegetable pro- ducts reached the considerable sum of nearly $5,000,000. We have a great dairying country in Canada, yet we purchased abroad during the year $1,844,212 worth of milk and its products. This included $1,349,819 for 3,767,573 lbs. of but- ter, e327,022 22 for 1 1 of 0 9 65 7 1bs cheese, $46,387 for candeased milk, $92,710 for casein, and even $28,274 for sweet milk and cream. Our but- ter importations were supplemented by 1,165,440 lbs. of imported oleo- margarine. Our foreign grain bill amounted to $11,275,68?, though this included $7,695,280 for feed corn, and' $2,020,596 for rice, of which 18,000,- 000 lbs; came from China. Milled -products cost us $685,895, and pre- pared foods and bakery products an- other $500,000. Our total imports under the head "Agricultural and Vegetable Pro- ducts, Mainly Food" came to the rather startling total of $108,701,- 762, We could hardly be expected, however, to produce our own tea, coffee and spices, though we might considerably reduce our sugar bill, which now amouens to approximately $40,000,000 a 'scar, by growing more beets. We also imported $20.935,29-S worth of alcoholic -beverages, - which, as we ail knew, are mostly derived. from the prcdrtcts of the farm, It may be, howce'er, _that some of our exported grains and fruits returned to us in this highly manufactured form.—fl. D. Ceiquette, Dept. cf Agicultural Economies, O. A. ' C. Guelph. The Mystery of Nitrogen. Since animal life must depend upon plant life for its support, we must first learn how nitrogen gets from the air into the plant. Every farm boy has seen "the grain turn yellow at times inthe very early spring and especially that which was growing in the dead furrows of the fields. This ocdurs largely because there isn't enough nitrogen in the right form for theplants to get at this time of the year. As a single element existing alone, neither ani- mals nor the green plants can use. nitrogen, and yet the- air is the source of the.entire supply for all life. If we go 'back into, history of Ro- man agriculture, we will find that even the farmers of ;that time knew enough --to grow legumes. Even though all of this was known, it was not until 1887 that the reason for it. was discovered. Then it was that the little swellings always found on the roots of legumes were discovered to contain countless numbers .bf min- ute forms of life, now known as bac- torte,. Later it was learned that these litle workers had a great deal to do with keeping the soil in fit condition for the growing' of crops, for they,. in their magic way of living; are cap- able :of taking the nitrogen out of the air that is in the soil and making it become a part of the soil com- pounds. In this way we have the cheapest means of keeping up the nitrogen supply of the soil.—Hoard's Dairyman. No Alcohol in Silage Milk. Satisfactory evidence -has been ad- duced to show .that by the feeding of corn silage alcohol is transferred to the tnilk. Wl tle..at it -;,rue that silageF does have ttaceaaac alcohol in it,! yet it is;;altogether 'p'obable 'that the al- cohol, as well aaat3re acids of sil3age, are completely' 044'41 up in the and ti -ever passes • even in minute trace's into the nilki The poultry house should be built as low as possible without danger of the attendants bumping their heads against the_ ceiling.

Maynard, Manager • G. G. Maynard, Manager A ' IL a 'ie use AFTER the fires under gigantic ovens in bakeries have been drawn, the bakers continue for hours to bake bread, pies and cakes. Why? Because the bricks of the oven have retained the "flash" heat of the fire and "stored" it. So, too., once McClary's Electric Oven has become thoroughly heated, the current may be turned "off" and the oven goes merrily along baking for hours. The same principle operates in Tor -Red Protected Elements,found only on McClary's Electric Range. M Electric Agitat for (mmunity Action in Control of European Corn Borer No single farmer can expect to keep his corn crop free of the European Corn Borer unless all his neighbours are also fighting the pest. For this reason some sort of co- operation is essential. ' You can organize yourwhole neighborhood by arranging a mutual plan of campaign whereby' each farmer undertakes to account for the,Corn., Borers on his own farm. This plan will assist in bringing the Corn Borer under control, but without such co-operation, satisfactory results will not be obtained: A Very Important Point Cut corn crop low and as soon as it is ready. Burn all corn stalks. Garden sweet corn should all be pulled early and burnt. Plough down all corn stubble very carefully. Seed to winter wheat where possible.
