From the standpoint of Can- adian bee -keepers, however, the Un- ited 'Kingdom is easily the more im- portant of the two. Honey imports by the British Isles have ranged be- tween sevenand' tea trtfl•liott ,pounds. yearly in' recent years and 'have not shower the drastic decline which ohar- acterized 'German imports during the depression period. Up until 1903 the United Kingdom drew its honey sup- ply from three main sources; United (States, British West Indies and New 'Zealand, Other countries contributed somewhat smaller amounts. With- in the last three years, however, Can- adian honey has made striking prog- ress on the British ntaricet, taking second place among all the various competing countries in 111931, 'Chief among Canadian provinces to increase notably its honey export was Ontario, This Province is now shipping over- seas yearly considerably more than all the other Provinces combined. Prevent Goitre in . - Your Future Lambs Goitre in your lambs is due to lack of iodine. Whether or not this min- eral is deficient in the 'Ottawa dis- trict is not certain. However, goitre has appeared in the Central Experi- mental Farm flock, and sheep owners should, therefore, play safe and feed iodine to their pregnant ewes, If no commercial iodized salt is available, prepare as follows: .Spread on a tarpaulin 100 pounds of ordinary salt. From your druggist procure 2 to 3 ounces of potassium iodide, dissolve in water and spray the solution on the salt, Mix thoroughly, keep dry and feed to the ewes during the win- ter. This will prevent goitre; and, when for no distinct reason lamb's are born weak flabby, it may prove bene- ficial. Reduced Freight Rates On Limestone Continued ,In order to encourage the more general use of Agricultural Lime; stone lift sections of Ontario where a soil corrective is required, the De- partment in co-operation with the Federal Government and the leading Railway Companies will continue for another year at least, .the policy whereby„ substantial reductions in I are: for No. 2 timeethy .$5.60 tb $6 per toe; mixed hay 0$415i0,to $5.215. a4- lfll6e 2nd'cat $9 to $bQ 1,st cut $7 to $8; oat straw $3 to, $3,50 and wheat straw $3;35 10 $3.7i5 per ton. freight rates Oil ground 'limestone for agricultural purposes are evade.

The Canadian National, Canadian ''Paci'fle, Pere Marquette, Michig'att Central and associated railways are co-operating by quoting a special freight rate on Agricultural Lime- stone of approximately 215% belaw the standard rate. The Federal and Pro- vincial 'Governments through a sub- vention policy will jointly pay '5i01Ofo of the reduced freight up to a maxi- mum combined su'bven'tion oaf $1,00' per ton, 'For example, if the standard freight tariff is $1.00 per ton, the rail- way reduces the tate 25c, The sub- vention policy pays 3171%c and the far- mer pays the 'remaining 317leac.

A Valuable Booklet A very interesting booklet entitled "The Yardstick" has recently been issued by the Ontario Marketing Board. It gives a review of the vari- ons standards, and grades under which Ontario farm products are sold and an attempt is made to edu- cate the housewife on how to buy on grade. The pamphlet also measures the responsibility of both producers and consumers to a continuing agri- cultured prosperity in Ontario and is intended to be the first oaf a series dis- cussing this subject from different angles. Copies of the booklet may be obtained from the Ontario Marketing Board, Parliament Bldgs„ Toronto, Hay Marketing Hay marketing in Western On- tario was very quiet in December but much improvement in the situation is expected before spring. The principal movement this season has been by motor truck •to the larger centres such as Toronto and gradually the hay supply within trucking distance of these centres is being reduced. Near- ly all the second -cut alfalfa ,has al- ready been marketed for alfalfameal manufacturing purposes and the first cut is now being sold rapidly for the sante purpose. A shortage of bay and also of feed grain is expected in Western -Ontario before spring if the extreme winter weather continues.
