A hen that consumes 80 pounds of
feed in a year must lay 70 eggs to
break even with her owner. This
statement is the ,result of a recent
test.
The grain consumed to produce a
dozen eggs will vary greatly, depend-
ing upon the skill of the poultryman,
but it is assumed that he knows how
to feed economically. The general
purpose fowls and Leghorns used hi
this feeding work were kept on the
test while yet pullets and yearlings.
The general purpose pullets ate in
a year an average of 6.7 pounds of
feed per dozen eggs'produced and the
yearlings at 9.6 pounds. The Leghorn
pullets ate 4.8 pounds and the year-
lings 5.5 pounds. The general pur-
pose pullets ate 1.9 pounds more feed
in producing a dozen eggs than the
Leghorn. pullets and the difference
increeses very rapidly with the ,age
of the stock, the general purpose
yearlings consuming 4.1 pounds more
feed per dozen eggs than the Leghorn
yearlings, therefore the latter pro-
duced eggs upon much less feed than
the general purpose breeds.
Meat „scrap or some other animal
feed high in protein is the one essen-
tial constituent of the mash which can
not well be omitted. A pen of pullets
on free range which did not get meat
scraps, or any other animal protein
feed, laid only 90 eggs each in a year,
conspared with yields of 125 to 150
eggs from hens fed rations containing
meat scrap. The eggs from the pen
where no meat scrap was fed cost
s 2.2 cents more per dozen for feed than
when the meat scrap was included in
the ration.
Test Seed Corn Early.
I like to get my seed corn tested
early in the spring, before other work
gets too pressing. For as long as I
can remember, my father beforo me
tested every ear before it was planted.
Last year we used the rag -doll me-
thod, so we 'could spot the ears that
had root rot. The field that had the
most poor and down corn was the one
where -we had to size some seed- that
showed evidence of root rot. The
diseased grains show bright red,
green, or sometimes purple stains on
the cloth. It only cosi a few cents
an acre to test every ear, and I am
sure it is, as well worth while as any
work I ever did. ' I estimate testing
means 10 to 25 per cent. better stand.

Record Keeping of Dairy
Cows.
Nine farmers around Brampton,
Ont., reports the Dominion Dairy and
Cold Storage "News Letter," besides
keeping a record of the milk produc-
tion for the year 1922, kept account of
the feed consumed by each cow, so
that at the end of the twelve months
it was possible to figure up the net
profit from each cow and the average
of the different herds. Out of 124
cows, 48 produced ever .30Q lbs, of fat
during the year, arid the average
profit per cow above feed costs was
$89.29. It is hardly necessary to
point out that with a record of the
milk production and of `the feed con-
sumed by each cow, it is possible to
pick out the cows worth retaining.
Forms for keeping such records can
be obtained by writing the Dairy and
'Cold Storage Branch, at Ottawa.

a great many horses for contraction
and my best results carne from treat-
ing the foot thus:
First, pare foot on the, toe till the

runs from the back part of heel to

from back nail to the end of shoe and
set it flush with the outside of the
hoof on both sides, which will tend to
spread the hoof. If you study the
anatomy of a horse's foot, you
'11
find a small bone laying, crossways in
the heel just over the frog and in case
of contraction it passes' against the
horn of the foot near the heel which
is the cause of lameness.
I have tried this treatment many
times, and it never failed to cure. I

Application.
Genesis has been called a "folk -
book" and the story of Abraham and
his great adventure is rich in reli-
gious s irnu us for us still.
We may learn such lessons as the
following:
1. All true religion is a growing ex'-
perience. Abraham is commanded to
leave the old customs and the tradi-
tional beliefs of Mesopotamia behind
him and staike out in search of a new
and larger faith. So we must make
new discoveries in the realm of
Christian faith. We must see more
clearly that Christ's spirit is to reach
everywhere and control every bit of
ou2r.
Abraharn illustrates the fact
that life rests on faith, rather than
knowledge. The old hero was to find
God in the days:ehead, rather than in
the past.

what does it matter? He takes cane

stitutes in' the province, specializing
in the study of various lines of home
craft and in arranging wholesome
forms of community recreation and
education. The girls' Institutes usu-
ally co-operate closely with the Wo-
men's Institutes their regular work,
and with the Junior Farmers' Asso-
ciation in their social activitieS. to the
benefit of the whole community.

Caring For Cemeteries.
In many rural sections of Ontario
the Institute is responsible for chang-
ing neglected cemeteries into places
of beauty and order. Sometimes they
have made a community bee to do the
first work of levelling and clearing
the ground, after which they have
hired a caretaker, either raising the
tuna. themselves or appointing a com-
mittee to get annual subscriptions
from the plot -owners. It is rather in-
teresting, that one neighborhood in
Algoma had appointed;as its perman-
ent Cemetery Board, the reeve of the
township, whoever he may be, the:
Anglican minister, because the rec-
tory is close to the cemetery, and the
president of the Women's Institute.
_The Institute and Relief Work.
The Institutes are doing much to
create a neighborly community spirit,
by their quick response to local need
or trouble. One Institute in Northern
Ontario keeps in readiness a complete
infant's layette and an outht of bed
linen in case of need in a poor fam-
ily. Other Institutes have done the
sewing for families of motherless chil-
dren, paid the hospital -expenses of a
needy patient in the community, re -
equipped homes when a family had
been burned out, made quilts for a
poor familY in the section, given donee'
lions •01 eggs, butter, home canned
fruit, etc., to children's shelters and
old people's homes, while their res-
ponse to the call of Northern Fire Re-
lief has been generous almost beyond
belief. ,

Plans were made for the hold-
ing of seventy courses during Janu-
ary and February, 1923. In addition
to the regular demonstration -lecture
courses, the Institutes 'Branch furn-
ished instructors- for four months'
Courses held under the supervision of
the Agricultural Representatives. The
length of instruction in each line was
one month instead of two weeks.' This
feature of the Three Months' Short
Course actiiities proved very effec-
tive, and plans have been completed
for furnishing instructors in Horne

at eight 'centres during the months of
December, January and February.
