If fair profits can be made with a minimum of.labour the Dairyman does not readily per- suade himself into. the belief that to separate the milk and feed the skits milk on the place is worth while. :Rut surely where the milk is shipped to the creamery :tad the skip milk resold et as low a price as •20 cents per 100 pounds, as is the case' in the .Chilliwack Valley, 13. C., at the present time, it would be, /yell_ fol. farmers to slake geed use of that milk.. It is questionable. if 'he .could make more profitable returns . any other way than by 'feeding up a number of pigs on..a ration composed of skim milk - in combination with mixt dmeal.. It has been found at the Experimental Farm, Agaesi z, that feeding skins milk at 00 emit; per 100 pounds in proper combination with concentrates is profitable. Al- though substitutes, such a tankage Tor example, may well take the plarc of ekiri milk when the latter is not a.vailabie, yet skim milk has a value peculiar to itself in building the muscles and bony framework of young animals. Although skim milk may serve its highest purpose when fed to • calves yet, when properly combined with a grain ration, be - cones one of the most useful of all available feed for the pig. 'Realizing the value of skin. milk as a feed for pigs the next import- ant point is to determine the most profitable quantity to feed in combin- ation with a grain ration for it is impossible to feed pigs, even young pigs profitably on skim milk alone, With this object in view, therefore, a series of experiments in swine feeding was set.on foot at the Ex- perimental Farm, Agassiz, in the winter of 1917-18 and similar experi- ments have been carried on every winter since. As a result of these ex- periments it is very interesting to /tote that in every case the larger the amount of milk fed the greater are the gains. Comparisons have been made where `a standard ration of gvain was fed to all lots with varying quantities of skim milk in the different groups as contrasted' to groups fed water in place of skint miik and to other groups fed some substitute such 'as tankage, Skint milk was fed at the rate of 2 lbs., 4 lbs., 0 111x:, and 8 lbs., per pig per day and although the average gain in each gioue'•inexeased yet the'most economical gains centred around the groups receiving from 4 to (i bs., per gig per 'r1ay, Feeding any of the various meth mixtures employed in the experiment -without sterns milk or substitute but with water, only gave unsatisfactory results and proved that water is no substitute for skim milk. • The general conclusions arrived at are tlrt(t a profitabie amount of skins milk to feed to growing pigs is any- where frons 4 to 8 lbs, per pig per day. But tvhere the skits milk is exceptionally cheap it may be fed profitably at the rate of 8 las., or ev- er 10 lbs. per pig per day and es- pecially is this true of certain pigs with more Vigoroua charne'teristies than others.

The old county stands in the fore- front of the cotintiee of Ontario in nearly every respect, end in no sense. more so then in the splendid teen who have in the past graced the coun- cil board; and the present occupants are worthy sons of a long line of worthy. sires. The old county occu- pies a unique position in the lrodnc- tio11 of prominent men in all walks of, life, for no matter in what part of the world you east your lot you will find the men of Duren occupying foremost positions of trust and bonny. Last Friday at Bayfield *as gath- ered together a splendid array of the pat and present directors of muni- cipal affairs , of the county. The weather was ideal, the picnickers all good-humored, and the eatables more than ample. The good ladies had been asked to bring full baskets, andthey were brought more than fall of the choicest edibles that skill and good taste could produce. A long list of sports were carried out with the best of good humor, all entering into then with that spirit of comradeship characteristic of the councils of "Intron. In the baseball and football snatches there were many 'examples of good team play and ttliviclual work that showed that the majority of the boys hacl without doubt figurerd prominently in a home club not many,years back. The same 1naY be said -of .the tug-of-war, where good generalship and staying 'peeve s Were in evidence. Mueli of the credit of tha success of these three events was no doubt due to the many ex- cellent decisions and good judgment displayed in handing these genes by the umpire, County Treasurer Lane, whose fair play appealed to all and kept the spectators in good humor. One football kicker took the umpire for the goal and knocked Mlis pipe galley -west. The most amusing feature 'of the program was 'a needle gree, in whites seven of the ladies with partnere tools part. This was worn by 'Mr. and Sirs, ,ft. M. Elliott of Stanley, :lire, Govenlock of McKillop and 11r. iilnpp of Hay, and Mrs, McGregor and Mr. McCully of 'Cuekersinith, the ladies reccivase. the first, second and third prizes in the order named. County Clerk 110101111 acted a.: clerk of the snorts and introduced the different events. At the conclu- sion of- the gauges the picnickers *ere assembled and br:a addresses were given by the ex -Wardens, the Present Warden, two .of the ex-couu- cillors (Ido, Jelin Laporte and lir, W. H. Fraser) and County Treasurer Lane, These addresses moved not the least of the attractions of the day and showed that if some of the tel. - Wardens considered themselves too old for the more strenuous games they had not lost much of the vigor of youth 311 Mental capacity. It: was at this stage that the oMy signs of disagreement were dis- played, for each Warden persisted in claiming that he had had t113 good fortune of presiding over the beet looking and brainiest bunch df men that ever sat at the council table, But this was the only point of differ - mice; all agreed that the picnic was a delightful reunion idea and should by all means be continued and its annual (nuisance would be looked for- ward t( as one of the bright events of the year.

CULLING THE FLOCK • The hatching scaaon should now be over on the well regulated poul- try plant- and attention directed to culling the Bock to »lake room for the greying youngsters. In the first place there should be culled from 'the flock• all birds that show physical defects such as crooked beaks, backs or breasts, excessively long toe n0118, sunken eyes enol long "crow" head, knock knees or other sign of poor stamina and low vital - At this season, if they have not al- ready been discarded, the hens over two years old, unless possessing the characteristics of high production and aretained as breeders on this ac- count, should be marketed as seen as they stop laying, show signs of broodiness or moult. When trap nests aro used, this con- dition is readily noticeable but if not tie hens that have stopped laying can be easily distinguished by them shrinking comb and fading colour of face and wattles, also by the contract - tion of the pelvic bones. These bones, slightly protruding On each, side of the vent, remain spread to the width of about three fingers placed perpendicularly between them, Ias long as the hen is laying. In the poor producer they will be found closed to the width of only one finger and. when the latter condition is ev- ident early in the Beeson, when she should be still producing, it is a fair- ly good indication that the bird has given up too soon and it is not the type that makes the high record.
