Auto- mobile exports during ` the corres- ponding period 1923-24 totalled 45,- 194 ears valued at $23,109,331. A total of 18,261 acres was plant- ed to tobacco in Ontario in 1925, yielding 20,628,000 pounds accord- ing to figures issued by the Federal Government. In 1924, 12,372 acres were planted, yielding 12,135,000 pounds. In 1925 the average yield per acre was 1,130 pounds as com- pared with 914 pounds per acre last year, Branch offices of Japanese flour mills are to be established in Win- nipeg soon, it is understood, so as to be in a good position to buy wheat. Two representatives of the Missin Flour Mills and Mitsui Grain Com- pany, of Tokio, were in Winnipeg recently making arrangements for the purchase of 150,000 tons of wheat for the two firms. Ernest Rolph, a Toronto architect, has claims to 'the discovery of the first fossilized remains of eggs of prehistoric reptiles. He found them in a deep cutting between Lethbridge and MacLeod in the shape of about 15 perfectly round stones. The eggs measure 21 inches in diameter and are now being investigated by Pro- fessor Parks of Toronto. In order to create a better under- standing of the game, an all-star team of English badminton cham- pions s arrived in Saint John, N.B., recently and made a tour right across the Dominion, exclusively on Canadian Pacific lines, playing ex- hibition games in the largest cities.

Considerable efftri't has been ex- p.ended in atter, pts to discover 'salt able winter rations for young plea. During the summer when pigs are at pasture, rickets and osteoporosis are quite rare occurrences, Pasture grape yields an abundance of all the re- cently Actudted vltaminea, and so as part of the ration supplies the needs in metabolism and presents the con= dltlon known as tickets. Winter pigs need a winter substitute for pasture or a feed that resembles green grow - 1 greets and g as a d can be fed in a Prac- tical way. This is best supplied by a leafy legume as well cured second crop alfalfa hay. If the leaves of the alfalfa are well preserved, and of a green color, then feed a quantity equal to five per cent. by weight of the grain ration,. Minerals such as ground limestone, ground pbosphate rock, and ground bone -meal should• alsoed b a f in total quantity notne- t q Y ne- cessarily exceeding tiro per cent,of the total ration.

Caused By the Round Worm, Ascaris Lumbricoides. ra The term "Thumps" Is used by most farmers to describe a lung dis- ease of pigs. There is a quickened breathing and rapid heart action. Many Iittle pigs become unthrifty and others die as a result of the in- festation. It is during the first few weeks of the pigs' life that the round worms do most of their particularly destructive work. Older pigs seem more resistant to the effect of worms, Infestation. The pens and- yards in which the brood sow and her young are kept are frequently well supplied with worm eggs, particularly so if they have been used by pigs for any length of time. The worm eggs lying on the floor or in the yard are picked up by the pigs, either while rooting or nursing. The sow's udder 3s fre- quently wet and in contact with the floor, thereby gathering the eggs, 16 present, on the teats, ready to be passed on to the little pig during the next feeding. How the Worm- Cause%.'humps." Soon after the eggs are swallowed by the your.g pig they hatch if ripe, and the young worms are liberated in the stomach: and intestine. These very mSexing ing`burrow in- to the wail of the bowel and reach the blood stream, eventually reach- ing the heart and lungs. This takes about twenty-four hour's fromtime of hatching. Once the worms reach the lungs ng „they grow and develop for a quietly bout "a' week then he burrothea" way into the large air Passages, This causes an irritation, with coughing. The coughing brings up mucous and worms, which are swallowed be the pig. The worms pass on to the intestine, where they become attached and remain until they reach maturity. On maturity the females lay millions of eggs, which are passed from the intestine + and eventually infest the yards and peals. The presence of the worms in the heart and lungs is responsible for the disordered breathing and heart action seen in the condition that we call "Thumps." Prevention, I Cleanliness is the keynote In :pre- vention of ascarid or round worm infestation. Get the sow and her family out on the green grass away from old buildings and pens if pos- sible. If necessary to use pens scrub the floors with hot lye solution and clean up generally. See that the sow is Clean outside and In. Arrange for the cleaning of the pen and a supply of clean straw every day. Sunsbine and clean ground to range over are great aids to the prevention of "thumps." --L. Stevenson, 0. A.

Varieties of Fall Turnips. There is a limited acreage of fall turnips grown lu Ontario each year. Roots of this glass usually ,yield more Per sere than the Swede turnips, but they do not keep so late into the win- ter. . Other names for fall turnips are Soft turnips and White Flesh turnips. Two varieties of fall turnips have been grown tinder test at the College in each of the past seventeen years, and the following gives the average annual results In tons per acre of tope and of roots for each of the varieties; Red Top White Globe, 4.0 and 20.3, and Cow Horn, 5.7 and 19.7. In 1918, the Ited Top White Globe gave 21.2 and the Cow Horn 16.5 tons of roots per acre.

The question is often asked, "Can you tell whether or not a hen is lay - Ing?” This is very easy, and re- quiret but a few observations. When a hen conumenecs laying the condi- tions set up in the reproductive or - gene are very similar to conditions in any pregnant animal. Preparation is made for laying, much as for par- turition in a cow. When the ovary is dormant and no eggs are being produced the dis- tance between the pelvic bones is very small. The vent is dry, small, puckered, and inyellow-fleshed chick- ens has a decided band of yellow pigment around the inside. When laying commences the pelvic bones beconie pliable and spread apart. The distance may increase from one to three fingers in a short time. The vent becomes large and moist, and after two or three egga have been laid the ring of yellow pigment has disappeared and the vent is bleached. How to Obtaht High Egg Production. Z'he requirements for begh egg production, says Prof, W. R, Graham, of the Ontario Agricultural College, are 'clean, dry, comfortable houses. that are free from direct draughts over the birds, and that are, well - lighted. The feeding consists of a variety of grains, green feed, animal' feed, grit and shell, which is clean, sweet and wholesome, and is given ' tohe birds t b ds regularly and in such quantities that they have all they want to eat before going•to roost at night that the supply of drinking material is clean and abundant; that the attendant is regular in his or her twork and is interested in the same; that the birds are bred from good laying ancestors, and that they are hatched at the properseason and welleaee. reared, and are free from tits - When Eggs Are Worth Most. • A study of the distribution of the egg production le interesting and im- portant from the point of the annual returns from the birds )Igg prices rise and fall with the. reasons and usually the greatest prat': Is ,made where eggs are produced at a season or [masons of the year when prices are high. Pullets are the chief source • of egg supply. They require usually :from six to seven months In which to mature. It is, therefore, possible 'to regulate their production in the fall months at .leapt to some extent by regulating the time they will hatch in the spring. The _ main source of eggs produced during Oc- tober and November is the March hatched pullet. 13y December the May hatched pullets are out for a 1 reputation, KEEPIE G HENS HEALTHY DRAINAGE AND VENTILATION BOTH VERY IMPORTANT.

If poultry are to be kept free from disease their living quarters will re= quire as much attention as those of otherstock, Thespecialists give the poultry this attention and more, but the great majority of poultry -keepers neglect the housing conditions.. Flret'of all the house should be supplied with drainage that will In- sure a dry floor at all limes.

The exhaled moisture ntst be removed or the house will • become dam and. unsanitary. Pro- i P vide four square feet per bird, face tho house south and provide a large, open front thrqugh which the sun's rays can enter and reach every inch 01 floor space. Arrange the interior of the house to facilitate easy clean- ing and disinfection: This means movable nests, roosts and feed hop- pers, that can be lifted out to permit a thorough cleaning, et least once every three weeks. •Phe Runs, Don't fence in the poultry if it can be av ided, Better fence in the harden and 'give the birds the -ren of the farm.
