News and Information For the Busy Farmers (Furnished by the Department The Dairy Industry A Monthly Dairy Report, is now issued regularly by the Department. Anyone wishing to receive this re- port may do so free of charge, by making a request to the Statistics Branch, Ontario Department of Ag- riculture. The initial report shows that commercia saes of fluid milk and cream in Ontario for the month of I January amounted to $.2,624,000, It :is apparent that the annual volume of commercial fluid milk business in Onttarrio is in the neighborhood of $30,000,000. For January the total sales of milk by dairies and ipro- dlticer-disrtrlitvutora amounted to 20. 249,300 quarts, having a sales value of $2;297,300, and fluid cream 731,- 300 31;300 quarts at $326,900. Prodnct'on of both creamery butter and factory cheese in On- tario was again lower in February February production of butter was down. 230,000 pounds and produh tion ter the vrat two months of 1938 was down 683,000 pounds as com- pared with a year ago, while the production of cheese for the same two periods showed a !decrease of 240,000 pounds and 659,000 pounds, 'respectively. Egg, Poultry Cooperation There are now 26 farmers' co- operative egg and poultry associa- tions in Eastern Ontario, Since the first one was established on December 1, 1934, et Kemptville, these have ,paid up to the end of December 1937, a total of $473,600.46 to'the producers for their eggs and poultry. In September, 1935, the second association began business at Finch. In 1936 new associations were; formed, and during the ,year marketed 20,437 cases of eggs, 2;662 lbs. of live poultry and 93,- 220'ybs. of dressed poultry. list year the 26 ,associations sold 42,- 563 cases of eggs, 45,355 1bs. of live poultry and 178,823 Lbs. of ,dresisedl poultry, Prior to the formation of the associations practically all the tamers` in the Ottawa Valley sold their eggs either to stores or itin- erant buyere often not on grade and Without troubling about the current price on the Montreal market, • tAt each centre of the association now, the eggs aro delivered by the farmers ,who are paid on the basis of the grade and the average of the weeks quotation on the Montreal market, less the deduction for ex- press.

The Cheese Market At the Cheese Producers' annual convention at Peterborough the delegates were intensely interested in the address of J. F. Singleton, in charge of the Marketing Services, as he reviewed the cheese industry of the past year and emphasized the importance of quality, if Canada is to retain her position in the British market, In comparing 1936 and 1937, cheese increased in @rice 7 per cent., whereas butter increas- ed 13.6 per cent. This was for a period from May to November of each year. At London, wholesale jobbers' price of cheese increased 7.2 per cent, and butter 10,6. The value of butter with relation to the value of cheese is higher in Canada than in the United Kingdom. With the increase in price since the be- ginning of the year, which, is out of line with the price of cheese, there will naturally be a tendency for patrons to yield to the solicitation of creamleryrmen for, their product, to the detriment of the cheese fac- tory production. But some day the butter market will' break and break fast, saki bir. Sngleton, and pro- ducers should consider carefully which market will give the highest returns for .the milk during the season. Canadian cheese has a reputation in the Old Country, not only for having a higher quality than any other imported cheese, but it is the highest quality of any source, domestic or imported, which is available in quantity and this position. should not be jeopard- ized by short supply. A large quantity of proeested cheese is Pro- duced in the United Kingdom, and for this trade mature Canadian cheddar is favored, Mr, Single- ton advised the Canadian cheese- makers and patrons to concentrate on raising the general average score of our cheese, Issue New Bulletin on Potato Production e'ry Potato grower and farmer in. Ontario will be interested in a new bulletin issued by the Depart. ment on "Successful Potato 'Pro- duction in Ontario.'' The Bulletin, No. 390, may be obtained by writ- ing'the Ont. Dept, of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, It will be mailed immediately, free of charge, This pamphlet of eleven pages ie 'profusely illustrated, It was prepared by the staff of the 0. A C. Guelph and points' out. most suit- able varieties and best produetou practices. The authorities state certified seed is most imlpbrtant insisting that no grower or farmer can he assured of a good crop of high quality unless good seed is used. If the official tag Is not on every bag of certified seed; the potatoes should not bo accepted, The bu tetin, contains the named of good varieties in order of oarlines0, outlining good and bad , feints',. These varieties include Warba, recently introduced to On- ta'rio. This potato resembles the Irish Cobbler in shape but has pink eyes', It is a week earlier than Cobbler in maturing. It is the highest yielder of: early maturing varieties and bas gained .popularity in the past three years, Table and keeping qualities are good, The Irish Cobbler is second on the lis of early maturing potatoes and is' Ube most extensively grown of all. The Olt,ippewa is -White, oblong and shallow -eyed. It is' a new variety introduced by the U.S. Dent. of Agriculture and is popular across the border. It is being grown in an experimental way in Ontairo, Tubers resemble the Katandin. It ripens a week earlier than Katandin and .three weeks earlier than Dooley. Because of this, it is meeting with consider- able approval from growers'. The Katandin has been grown at IO, A. C. since 1929 and has proven of outstanding merit, It ripens a week ahead of Green Mountain and twelve days earlier than Dooley and is superior in table quality to Dooley. Lt also has a high degree of resistance to Mild Mosaic. Green 'Mountain is susceptible to disease and is losing favor, al. though the table quality is good. Gives best results in cool, northern sections. Dooley does best on warm, sandy soils and is highly resistant to Mild: Mosaic, but susceptible to Fusarium Witt; a good keeper but table quality only fair and late in maturing. For best results, pota'oes should not be grown on the same ground more than once in three or four years. Best to plant on land in clover or alfalfa sod for one or two years previously. The buleittn discusses fertilizers in detail; preparation of soil; methods of disinfecting seed; cor- rosive sublimate treatment; time, rate and depth of planting; cultiva- tion; directions of spraying to pre- vent late blight and rot and insect pests; harvesting, grading and storing. Every grower and farmer should write at once for this valuable and up•to-date bulletin on potatoes, a good "cash" crop. An Essay on a Cow The cow is a female quadruped ,with an alto voce and a counten- ance in which there is no guile. She collaborates with the pump in the 'production of a liquid called milk provides the filler for hash, and at last is skinned by those she has benefited, as mortals commonly are. The young cow is called a calf, and is used in the manufacture of chick- en salad. The cow's tail is mount- ed aft, and has a universal joint, It is used to disturb marauding files and the tassel on the end has an unique educational value, Persons who milk cows and come in con- tact with the tassel, have vocabu- laries of peculiar and impressive force. The cow has two stomachs. The one olt the ground floor is used as a warehouse end has no other func- tion. Wren this is filled, the cow retires to a quiet place where her 111 manners will occasion no com- ment and devotes herself to belch- ing. The raw material 10 thus con- veyed for a second time to the in- terior of her face, pulverized alit delivered to the auxiliary stomach, where 1t is converted into cow. The cow has no upper plate. All of her teeth are paired In the lower part of her face, Thisarrange- ment was perfected by an efficiency exrpert to keep her from gumming things up. As a result, she bites ulv and gums down. A aiice of oow is worth five cents in the cow, 14 cents in the hands of the packer, and $2,40 in a restaurant that specializes in atmos- phere. The man is palled a bull and is ]assooed along the Red Deer River, fought in Mexico, end is ,shot in Ottawa when parliament sits.

Here are a few dishes in which they may be served, French Omelet Beat the eggs with a fork adding one 'tablespoonful of cream and ono of water for each egg used. Into a heavy flying pan, put plenty of but- ter and let it get stzzllin'g hot. Then pour in the eggs and lessen the heat, Immediately start shaking the pan back and .forth and roll the omelet as soon as the edge is firm and white it is still wet. Thein- side of the omelet cooks while it Is being removed from the pan. To roll the omelet, lift one edge and roll' .it over, Tilt the skillet in the direction the omelet is to be rolled, and assist in the rolling with a Spatula or knife. Slip the omelet from the skillet to a hot platter and garnish, Poached Eggs Vienna Take two fresh eggs and poach them in milk, with a pinch of salt, Toast two thio slices of bread; and Ery two strips of bacon crisp, Place the poached eggs on the toast with it. strip of bacon on either side. Heat three-quarters of a cup of cream, Blot but not boiling, and pour it over the eggs, bacon and toast. Salt and pepper to taste. Eggs au Beurre Noir Toast one slice of bread nice and brown, butter and place on platter or plate. Fry two eggs in butter, covering during process, of cooking in frying pan until the desired med- ium "soft," "medium," or "hard" is attained, then remove and place on buttered toast, Place in the pan in which the eggs have been fried 1 tablespoonful of thoroughly melt-, ed butter and when hot add 1 table- spoonful of Worcester sauce, toss in pan until thoroughly mixed, pour over eggs and serve. , HOUSEHOLD HINTS Small organdy articles may be s'tigened by using granulated sugar dissolved In water. * ,1+ * To clean an oilcloth that re- sembles linen use a small nail brush and either soap or a mild scouring powder with 'water, ,Afterwards wash off with a clean cloth and wipe dry. * a * Add. a little vinegar to the water when cleaning windows, It gives a brilliant polish, * * * Te keep cheese fresh, if you want to keep it for some little time, paint the out pant over with hot paraffin. This is easily done with a small brush. Vieniurn by Grant Fleming, M. D. 0011101111110. A HEALTH 6E114 ICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES THE VALUE OF REGULAR PHYSICAL EXAMINATION No physician would be so foolish as to make a diagnosis' solely on appearance of his patient. While appearances may be deceiving they are very likely to reveal a great deal, or perhaps It is fairer to say, suggest, much of what lies be - 'teeth the surface. Knowing what he does, the phy- sician would expect to find some cases of diabetes among those of lila patients who, having passed middle life, have added an exces- sive number of pounds to their weight, Not ail fat people have diaibetes but thin adults seldom fall victims, Very likely it will be asked what good is it to know that diabetes oc- curs mach more frequently in the overweight than in the under, weight or that women .are attacked more frequently titan men, and that the disease appears usdally be- tween the ages of forty and sixty. This information IS of Practicai value If it is also known that her• Canada's Favours to Tea ft LADA TEA e� edits plays a very definite prt't. in '012 At the same time, focal in - other words,overweight is 1r C' - r able for ail adults, but when It is associated with a family history of diabetes, it has much more signifl. canoe. To know that diabetes has occur- red in the family need not arouse any feelings of fear, I3 should be accepted as warning to watch with extra care, the health of the body and so avoid the physical difficul- ties, which otherwise, through care lessnees, might develop. There are good reallbns why ey• eryone should have a periodic health examination. Those with a family history of diabetes should never fail to provide this safeguard for themselves. 'The early detec- tion of disease Is most desirable be- cause it permits of early treatment which offers so much to the patient. The first signs of diabetes are changes in the write and blood which are detected at the periodic health examination, long before the individual feels any change in hini- feotion or other abnormal states, which should be got rid of by proper treatment, are discovered, No one can attempt to diagnose his own condttign, nor aii'ould any- one attempt to do so, Suspicion, which should send one to his doctor should be aroused by a persistent thirst and insistent hunger together with the passage of increased amounts of urine, accompanied by loss of weight and strength; one or more of these is sufficient to justify an investigation. Very likely you have no particu- lar reason to be interested in dia. bates but the disease is fairly com- mon and a periodic physical examin- ation will clear up any doubt.
