NEVUS AND HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS Timely information for the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Department of Agriculture) Close Attention Needed Close attention should be given the calving and " farrowing . pens. Failure to render necessaryassistance at the right time has resulted in loss and ev- ery calf ' and pig that dies snakes it just that much amore difficult far those that live to make a profit on the year's operation. The sooner 'young pigs get out in the sun the less dan- ger of loss at three to five weeks of age. Cod liver oil may be fed to pigs as well -as chickens . to ward off trouble. Weaning the Litter Natural weaning gives the best re- , sults with a litter of young pigs, and to obtain this, feed suitable for young pigs should be provided in the creep. A good mixture for the purpose is a half and half combination of mid- dlings and finely ground oats from which the hulls have been sifted. Young pigs will start to nibble at feed at about two to four weeks of age, and by the sixth or seventh week 'should be eating.quite freely. Under such procedure shock, incidental to more abrupt methods is overcome and weaning develops as a natural event. Some Pointers on Honey Roney, varies in colour from water white to almost black. The colour has little or no effect on 'its quality as a food or as a sweetener. It does appear, however, to be associated with flavour, •for .generally speaking, the darker the colour of the honey the stronger is its flavour. All Canadian honeys granulate or crystalize sooner or later, but the granulation is not caused by adding sugar to the honey as many people seem to think. Gran- ulated honey can be brought back to its liquid state 'by setting the contain- er in a bowl of hot water for a short time. The water should not be heated higher tnan 160 to 100 degrees Fah- renheit. -i Give Pullets Plenty of Room it may be well to again remind poultry raisers of the importance' of giving the pullets plenty of xoom. Crowding in the brooder house or range shelter is very often detrimen- tal to the birds. The cockerels should be separated tedf om the pllets, and if Le; hey are being raised for roosters should be kept on a separate range. If the pullets are then crowded there may be a number of them that are off type or feathering slowly that could be picked out and sold for broil. ers. With high-priced feed malting the net returns none too remunerative he cannot afford to keep anything but the best birds either in the growing pullets or in the laying flock. It is better to get what you can on the market for the poorer stuff and give the best a chance to develop normally. Curtailing on the feed for growing pullets may be false economy. The birds need a full ration of good qual- ity feed in order to keep them grow- ing and developing so that they will come into production early. True, it is not always wise to crowd a pullet too -much on soft feed, as they may not then be able to stand up under heavy production, but a good growing Mash and hard grain will tend to give them stamina in the digestive and productive organs. A strong diges- tive system must be developed in the bird to permit it to come near the 200 -egg mark in its first laying sea - ton,, Ploughing Practice A series of experiments carried out at a government experimental sta- tion has given some interesting results in regard to ploughing at different depths and times. On an average, over a period of nine years, ploughing four inches deep for a rotation of eorn, oats, clover and timothy has, given higher yields than has ploughing seven inches deep, ex- cept in the case of oats, in which the yields have, been practically the same. The shallow ploughing is of parti- cular advantage to the corn crop. In preparation of sod land for grain, it has been found that plough- ing in July, as soon as the hay is off and top -working during the summer has not only given higher yields of oats, but has also left the land free from couch grass. The experiment has shown that on sandy loam soil, it does not pay to either rib the land or replough in the fall. On heavy clay soil, ribbing or reploughing late in the fall gives the frost a chance to mellow the soil and leave it in a bet- ter state of ttlth. In the preparation of sod land for corn, manuring on the sod and spring ploughing hes given higher yields than manuring and fall ploughing. It would, therefore, appear that for ,corn on sandy loam, the 'land should be manured and spring ploughed four inches deep, while for grain, it should 'be ploughed as soon' as the hay is off ;;and top -worked, Combat Weed Seeds on Canadian 'Farms The greatest difficulty in maintain- ing successful farming, and particu- larly in producing .a more abundant supply of clean forage and grain seed, is ' the prevalence of weeds. New weeds are introduced on farms with imperfectly cleaned cereal, clover, and other commercial seeds, and with commercial feeding stuffs which often contain vital weed seeds. These seeds are spread from district to district through the various transportationfa- cilities, are disseminated within a lo- cality in stable manure from towns and cities, and are distributed from farm to farm through threshing ma- chines, and from field to field by farm implements. The wind carries weed seeds long distances; streams dis- perse thein along their courses, and herviborous animals and seed -feeding birds help to swell the evil broadcast. It is important to consider not only the large number of weeds sown with improperly cleaned grain but also those already in farm soils. Some of the worst weeds in Canada are so pro- lifie in the production of seeds that relatively clean fields may become badly contaminated in two or three years if these weed seeds are allowed to go to seed. For example, a single plant of wild mustard, stinkweed, (ox- tail, pigweed, or campion produces from 10,000 to 20,000 seeds, worm- seed mustard about 26,000, shepherd's purse about 60,000, and tumbling -mus- tard about 1,500,000. - With such pro- ductiveness, soils become quickly in- fested with weed seeds, although the presence of the seeds is not fully real- ized at the moment, owing to their inconspicuousness.
