It has been estimated that it first class seed were sown on all- farms the crop of the country woilld he increased by fifty percent. This can- not be verified definitely, but the annual loss caused by the use of seed other than the best is beyond all doubt surprie ngiy great, The present, situation, with the world-s0arcity of cereals and the shortage of •fs,rm labour, urgentlp de- mands that the best possible„ selec- tion he made' front our- 1917 grain crop for seed., This •will bring about a great inereasc in production with a' minimum increase in labour re- quirements. the proper procedure is for -each individual fanner to Makesure poly, in early winter; that he has ,pure seed of strong. vitality -for his spring sowing. • the energy and vitality of seed can be ascertained only by a germs- nation test. Mere inspection is tin- trustworthy. Crain of very good weight and `excellent appearance is frequently found to have a consider- able part killed outright, and the rest so weakened that the «i'oung plants are started with . too little energ}1 to withstand bad weather, or give a high yield. A peer crop is often said to have been the result of adverse' 0011011)10ns when it strolls, seed had been 'sown a satisfactory, yield would have been secured.

The feed costs, of good rearing in . Canada range from $10 to $24.30 for 6 months calves, $24 to 945 for 12 Months calves and 987.00 to 874.80 for 24 months heifers, the variation depending on methods of feeding, feeds available and market values of these feeds. 3." Calves of poor typo, and breed- ing are trot- worth rearing, but good calves 'properly bred will be worth at least '30epercent. and up to 100 per- cent more than their -feed cost - at Iwo years of age'. 4. Calves 'of good "saw$-" strong constitution and large capacity will, on the same feed, snake greater growth ,and better gains than. small, weak, narrow Litlivid,uals, ' 5: Good rearing of calves is most Profitable as shaven in such results as: - Earlier maturity in. size.

Pail -fed, calves reared to 6 or 8 months Largely on whole milk, make gains which cost 514 to .818.75 per cwt., ;which Is several tinges the cost when a properly fed subptitute for whole milk is used. 8. ;Skim -milk fed sweet and at a temperature of about 90 degrees Fahr. is the best single substitute for whole milk, _and may reach a valnef n 0 7U cents per c ` 15 t. or more 11 YO infeedn ng• yonn6 calves, However,wov e1 skins -milk may be improved by the addition of a good cream substittete such ab flaxseed jelly, oatmeal or a well-balanced calf meal, 9. dluttermilk, if fed t,niforml' as to acidity and temperature, mays have a slightly greatervalue than skim - milk. Great caution must, however, he taken to start calves at a great- er' age reatser-'age and very gradually, 10. In feeding calves to 6 or 8 Months ' of age on rations composed largely of skim -milk or buttermilk ad a good cream substitute, gains may be made at a cost of feed amounting to from 92 to $7.15 per cwt., 'this amount varying with the character and price of meal and the• ruggedness and Witt; of the calves, 11. If well, started on mother's milk calves may be we11' reared on calf meals without whole or skins - However, greater :are and attention must be Haid to these calves, and even so, gauss cost from $5 to 915,41; per cwt. or nearly double the cost where some skim- p -1110 is used, 12. There are many excellent call meals on the market in Canada. •9'he Canadian manufactured meals 'are aq, good as and generals} decidedly sup- erior to imported meals, clue not only to the palatability of the in- gredients and the chemical balance, but J m t even are to fr sit ss r e ue td free- dom d e0 dom from mustiness. Of the Canadian made oalf meals used the three which in total gains have given excellent satisfactiofn are, Royal Purple, Gold Dollar and Cald- well's, Providing the neeessal:Sn ingredients ere available, 1t may often be, more economical for. the .feeder to oris itis own, calf meals. If properly done, tare resulting gains 111 weight of the cables may be 'nearly its great, and often at a much reduced cost. 13, To order to rear the best and cheapest cows, all pail -fed calves should he taught to eat, at an early age, cheap and iluttitious tarin-geown roteghages •and grains.

It has been estimated that it first class seed were sown on all- farms the crop of the country woilld he increased by fifty percent. This can- not be verified definitely, but the annual loss caused by the use of seed other than the best is beyond all doubt surprie ngiy great, The present, situation, with the world-s0arcity of cereals and the shortage of •fs,rm labour, urgentlp de- mands that the best possible„ selec- tion he made' front our- 1917 grain crop for seed., This •will bring about a great inereasc in production with a' minimum increase in labour re- quirements. the proper procedure is for -each individual fanner to Makesure poly, in early winter; that he has ,pure seed of strong. vitality -for his spring sowing. • the energy and vitality of seed can be ascertained only by a germs- nation test. Mere inspection is tin- trustworthy. Crain of very good weight and `excellent appearance is frequently found to have a consider- able part killed outright, and the rest so weakened that the «i'oung plants are started with . too little energ}1 to withstand bad weather, or give a high yield.

The feed costs, of good rearing in . Canada range from $10 to $24.30 for 6 months calves, $24 to 945 for 12 Months calves and 987.00 to 874.80 for 24 months heifers, the variation depending on methods of feeding, feeds available and market values of these feeds. 3." Calves of poor typo, and breed- ing are trot- worth rearing, but good calves 'properly bred will be worth at least '30epercent. and up to 100 per- cent more than their -feed cost - at Iwo years of age'. 4. Calves 'of good "saw$-" strong constitution and large capacity will, on the same feed, snake greater growth ,and better gains than. small, weak, narrow Litlivid,uals, ' 5: Good rearing of calves is most Profitable as shaven in such results as: - Earlier maturity in. size.

Pail -fed, calves reared to 6 or 8 months Largely on whole milk, make gains which cost 514 to .818.75 per cwt., ;which Is several tinges the cost when a properly fed subptitute for whole milk is used. 8. ;Skim -milk fed sweet and at a temperature of about 90 degrees Fahr. is the best single substitute for whole milk, _and may reach a valnef n 0 7U cents per c ` 15 t. or more 11 YO infeedn ng• yonn6 calves, However,wov e1 skins -milk may be improved by the addition of a good cream substittete such ab flaxseed jelly, oatmeal or a well-balanced calf meal, 9. dluttermilk, if fed t,niforml' as to acidity and temperature, mays have a slightly greatervalue than skim - milk. Great caution must, however, he taken to start calves at a great- er' age reatser-'age and very gradually, 10. In feeding calves to 6 or 8 Months ' of age on rations composed largely of skim -milk or buttermilk ad a good cream substitute, gains may be made at a cost of feed amounting to from 92 to $7.15 per cwt., 'this amount varying with the character and price of meal and the• ruggedness and Witt; of the calves, 11. If well, started on mother's milk calves may be we11' reared on calf meals without whole or skins - However, greater :are and attention must be Haid to these calves, and even so, gauss cost from $5 to 915,41; per cwt. or nearly double the cost where some skim- p -1110 is used, 12. There are many excellent call meals on the market in Canada. •9'he Canadian manufactured meals 'are aq, good as and generals} decidedly sup- erior to imported meals, clue not only to the palatability of the in- gredients and the chemical balance, but J m t even are to fr sit ss r e ue td free- dom d e0 dom from mustiness. Of the Canadian made oalf meals used the three which in total gains have given excellent satisfactiofn are, Royal Purple, Gold Dollar and Cald- well's, Providing the neeessal:Sn ingredients ere available, 1t may often be, more economical for. the .feeder to oris itis own, calf meals. If properly done, tare resulting gains 111 weight of the cables may be 'nearly its great, and often at a much reduced cost. 13, To order to rear the best and cheapest cows, all pail -fed calves should he taught to eat, at an early age, cheap and iluttitious tarin-geown roteghages •and grains.
