HOG PRODUCTION
It is a matter of the greatest importance
that Canada should increase her produc-
tion of BACON HOGS and other live stock
as there is at present a world-wide short-
age of meat. Good markets for some tln►e
to come are assured.
THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE
will gladly make loans to assist farmers in
good standing to acquire live stock.

An old wood shed about eleven by
twelve feet was utilized as a poultry
house. In the south side, fifteen
inches front the flour a line of win-
dows two feet wide was plaeed and
above these an opening about eigh-
teen inches wide was made across the

with tight cotton, was hinged• Thio

sisted of $ran middlings and coru-

the kitchen waste, such as vegetable
parings, was fed. Usually at this time
a few handfuls of mixed grain were
also scattered.
The methods followed were suob as
almost any city dweller could follow.
A very small place for a house and
no yard room are required. 13y buy-
ing pullets in the fall and selling
them when poultry is high in the
early summer the most will be had
out of the flock without Interfering
in any way with either your own or
your neighbor's back -yard garden.
Timely Agricultural Suggestions.
Seed grain and root seeds secured
from the best sources available and in
ample quantities for spring seeding
are a most prolltaljj einvestment at
this time of the yedii , (1 Is not too
late to germinate seeds of various
kinds of farm crops to determine
their suitability for spring seed. A
poor seed sown is a seed wasted-
-and food is too scarce to waste any
of it this year._—
Plenty of exercise for the breeding
animals will insure stronger and
more profitable young.
When the work is not too pressing,
get the fanning mill busy to ensure
a good supply of sound, plump seed
grain free from weed seeds. The
oftener the seed is put through the
fanning mill the larger and plumper
the grain will be, and the fewer the
weed seeds in it. Always avoid sow-
ing sunken grain and weed seeds—
they are about the poorest invest-
ment a man can make.
Secure an amply supply of spray-
ing material now. Bluestone will be
required for spraying potatoes, iron
sulphate' for spraying mustard, lime
sulphur for the fruit trees and parts
green or arsenate of lead for potato
beetles and other insect pests. Be
sure to secure the supply of fortnallu
for treating seed grain to prevent
mutt and for treating potatoes to
prevent scab, One pint of Formalin
Is sufficient to treat from 20 to 30
bushels of grain and the same amount
will treat from 40 to 45 bushels of
potatoes. Keep the Formalin bottle
well corked and do not leave it in a
place where 1t is likely to be frozen.

The ideal temperature in the dairy

between 50 and 60 degrees Fahren-
