These new map sheets, which are named from towns in the The provincial authorities are leaving no stone unturned in their campaign against weeds. Many of the highways have the usual prolific crops along the sides of the road. Some of the farms throughout the country have crops of weeds which will soon be ripening and spreading their seeds to the four winds. Delin- quents in this respect will be given. an opportunity to explain the reason for their contempt of the law as soon as the weed "inspector makes his rounds Roosts Fo Young Birds Teaching chicks to roost at an ear- ly age tends to promote feather growth and helps materially in ear- rying the chicks over the critical per- iod when they are most likely to crowd and smother, It is desirable. to get the chicks to roost just as soon as they no longer need heat to keep them comfortable. One of the best ways of getting chicks to roost is to build a sloping roost to they rear of the house and enclose the un- derneath side of the roost with a fine mesh wire so that the chicks: cannot get at the droppings. They will take to these temporary roosts in no time. crop nos emevged and until the clop is some two to four inches high. area mapped—Goderich, Palmerston, Seaforth, and Wingham—are part of t h e National Topographic series Radish Maggot Control which takes in all of the southern Radish maggot may be.controlled peninsula of Ontario lying south of a line from Toronto west to Gode- by the same solution as used for rich.

I If it is not proposed to treat rad- ishes, severe losses may be avoided by broadcasting seed instead of sow- ing in drills. { The same treatment will give bene-' ficial control to Onion maggot, if at least two applications are made, at the proper time. Egg Shortage Coming In Ontario and' Quebec provinces, according to statements made by of- ficials of the poultry services, ther is reason to believe that laying stock is now below normal. There' has been no great run in any one week, but the steady movement week by week over a long period has ac- counted for many more thousands of birds than is generally recognized. This condition combined with re- ducedpurchases of baby chicks is causing real- concern over the pos-1 sibility of an egg shortage next fall. The impression now is that eggs will be scarce from September to January and that poultrymen will do weIi to get their birds in lay by that, time. Some authorities are advising pro - i ducers to raise every chick that. they; can this spring. While the cost of food is rather high, prices of all com-I modities are rising and it is reason- I able to expect that when conditions adjust themselves eggs and poultry will also be higher. The egg markets at Eastern cen- tres is now two to three cents above the corresponding period of a year ago, and, with some recent reduc- tions in feed prices, the prices of eggs and feed are coming more In line with each other. The Turnip Aphid • In conneetion with the control of the turnip aphid, entomologists ad- vise the planting of two rows of white turnips in a •field of swedes as a "trap" crop for this insect. These aphids, which cause serious injury t o young turnip plants through feeding on the Ieaves, cone-� nionly reach Canadian points in the late summer,' but they may be ex-, pected earlier this year and probably to cause greater injury. Past ex -1 •rerience has shown that this insect ;refers white to swede turnips, and may gather in huge numbers on a small number of white turnip plants, leaving the swedes but lightly in- fected. The planting •of a row or , two of white turnips in with the: main crop attracts the aphids to the "trap" plants sothat they can be destroyed easily with spray or dust or by being plowed under. The tur- nip aphids or plant lice make them- selves apparent in a field through in- dividual plants, becoming stunted in growth and sickly in appearance. Purple blotches may appear on the surface of the leaf and these indicate large colonies on the under surface. These infested plants should be pulled and removed at once. Weeders „Possibly one of the most satisfac- tory implements for the control of weeds in a growing grain crop is What is known as the finger weeder. This implement consists of a series of long slender teeth which form a very light harrow. The finger weed- er may be used to advantage onsan nual weeds, shortly after germine of one inch to one mile and are uni- form in size and appearance. Each map shows an areaof about 275,000 acres. The country' covered by the four maps is rolling land. once densely forested but now largely cleared and cultivated. The Goderich sheet cov- ers an area adjoining lake Huron, and the territory described in the other three sheets is not far distant from the lake. The town of Goderich, which is situated at the mouth of the Maitland river; Bayfield on Lake Huron, and Clinton, nine miles in- land, are shown on the Goderich map. A number of salt wells are located near Goderich and the town is the centre of an extensive salt industry. In addition to Seaforth, on the map of that name, are the villages of Dublin, Monkton, Atwood, Brussels, Blyth, and Londesboro. The Wing - ham map shows Bluevale, Gerrie, Fordwich, Teeswater, and Wroxeter, as well as Wingham. On the map named for the town of Palmerston, there also appears Arthur, Drayton, Moorefield, Mount Forest, Harriston, Rothsay, Clifford, and Conn. Other information clearly shown includes highways, railways, power lines, tele- phone and telegraph lines, schools, churches, farm buildings, wooded areas, and lakes and streams. The maps also show contour lines at twenty-five foot intervals. Copies of these maps, as well as others of the series for Western On- tario, may be obtained upon applica- tion to, the Surveyor General, De- partment of . Mines and Resources, Ottawa, at a price of twenty-five cents each. To, encourage the study of local geography, one cony will be supplied free by the department to the principal or board of trustees •of any school located in the mapped area. Henhouse Ventilation; The removal of moisture is a ma- jor problem in, poultry houses. .Poul- try have no sweat glands, but they give off relativelylarge amounts of vapour in respiration and through the skin. It was found at one experi- mental station- that maximum egg production was obtained when tem- peratures were not permitted to fluc- tuate widely. .A. henhouse tempera- ture at 50 degrees F. is too high to be maintained on most farms in win- ter without artificial heat. Hence a lower temPesatui'b held uniforimly would .be desirable, Increa"sing num- bers of poultrymee have had suc- cess with artificial heat properly re- gulated, but failure has commonly resulted when temperatures were al- lowed to go too high or fluctuate Pay in convenient Weekly amounts.

Two or three cabins and a box -stall for the farrowing sow will supply the necessary housing in the case of the farmer who grows a few hogs: Ex- periments have proved successful with cabins constructed of strong though relatively light material and provided with hinged sides for free passage of air in the summer season, They are built on runners so as to be easily shifted from place to place. The A -shaped cabin is subject to damage by the pressure of the hogs from the inside. The upright cabin with the peaked roof will last for .years. A circular is available . at your local agricultural office giving specifications for a suitable summer home which when :tightened up and properly 'protected, makes an all - year hog house. Make the Meadows Pay Ontario usually has about four and one-half million acres of hay crops each year. In passing across the province just before haying one cannot help feeling that many of these acres are not paying the taxes and the cost of handlingthe crop. Statistical reports indicate an aver- age yield of only one and one-half tons to the acres and this can cer- tainly be much improved upon. For the meadows,, good drainage and sweet soil are very important, Roots of grasses and clovers are slow to penetrate wet soils and wherever there is a surplus of water on the soil, air is shut out and, hence the bacteria life is either weakened or killed, 'Another point in meadow improvement is the use of high qual- ity seed. If poor seed Is used the meadow starts out with a handicap. Good drainage, good seed, and a lib- • coral supply of suitable fenHlieer make Clinton New Era, July 23, 1897: I by Marjorie Payne.
