Front the time that mixed farthing b''e..arne general in the Central States the United StatPh'egg crop luta ' been able to keep place with the iieruasu and heretofore wbea there was a ebos't- ege In Canada, eggs have been avail- able, on the ()Ideago and other large Western markets. This winter, hew. ever increased consumption on the part of the Americana thetttselves, and through a slightly -smaller egg crop this year, the usual surplus is not available. In recent yearn the Canad- ian storoge crop was eut%icient to meet the demand until the middle of Decem• ber or alittlelater, After that Amet 1- can egg* were imported to supply the shortage, In actual receipts possibly the Quit. ed States' cropwas not much smaller than provious years, butowing to the extremely mild weather, winter -pro- duction was phenominally .large with a corresponding falling --off in spring production, This meant a short crop for storage as storage eggs are what largely supply the demand during, the Winter months. This accounts for tbe fact that the price of eggs is higher in the United States,, and that there is little nr no surplus for export to Cana- da, In fact, since the revision of the tariff the United States is actually ha porting, over 8,000 cases of foreign eggs having been received in New York alone during the week ending Novem- 29th. It is expected that the availabil- ity of foreign eggs for both the United States and Canada will have the effect of averting a serious shortage and of. reducing materially the price to the consumer.. Another point and one that should not be overlooked before dwelling up- on the great opportunity that exists for tbe Canadian producer at the pres- ent time, is the fact that Canadian eggs as marketed at the period of high production are far from beingofthe. high quality that one would expect. From information in the procession of the Live Stock Branch it is estimat- ed that in the summertime not over 38 per cent of the eggs received .in the large markets grade "Select." About 40 per cent grade "stale" , sp. propriately 17 per cent "very stabs", 5 per pent "dirty" and • "broken", and 5 per cent "bad". Some dealers state tbat as high as 10 to 12 per cent of their receipts prove, upon examtn ation, to be wholly unfit for focd This latter is a feature that those who criticise the present high prices do not seem to have taken into consideration. In conclusion, it is evident that the most salient farmers and others to in- crease their poultry plants and take advantage of the high prices prevail- ing for poultry and poultry products, Every farmer should keep at least one hundred hens. The amount of la- bour -entailed is not great, and with reasonable success the revenue obtain- able therefrom, in proportion to cap. ital invested, is greater and more readi- ly available than from any other branch of farm work.

Your own and, your family's interests Life Laurence eonvxnsUI queppoy Ritchie Cosens 'While glancing over the results of - the dairy herd competition given at the recent dairy convention, one could not help being struck by the yields -7 317 pounds of milk: 214 pounds of fat per cow. During the same session a chart was displaced indicating that some dairy farms are producing very little milk, one was listed giving a yield of only 1'25 pounds per acre. With a dairy farm growing corn, oats, clover and alfalfa, and having pretty good pasture, it should not be very difficult to produce 2,000 pounds of milk per acre and at the same time increasethe fertility of the soil. This system should yield an income of over- thirty venthirty dollars per acre instead of the ,,,insignificant average of flee dollars andeeventynine cents wbicb was the average yield per acre cultivated in- cluding pasture given officially as ,the average return from flue thousand cows in Ontario. The acres need not be idle more than the cows I are yours just common acres, or dairy cows? The herd will average up better if the poor cows are weeded out. Do youk now for certain which they are? You can easily detect them if you keep records on forms supplied free, by the dairy division, Ontario. State in your letter if you want' forms for weighing every day, or only on three days per month. Is there any good reason why your cows should not average at least six thousand pounds of milk P Many men are getting this,, and more, but they don't do it until they keep re- cords and know which cows should be kept and 'ditch should not, NEURITIS F0I:1,OWS CRIPPLED NERVES Painful Effects of Chronic Itheuma. tism Quickly Routed by Rheums, Yf your nerves are alt erippted from attacks of Rheumatism, Neuritis tan easily get t► strong hold on the nerves.
