New Egg Grades
,The revised :Dominion egg grading
regulations recently passed at Ot-
tawa are now in 'force in :Ontario for
all shipments.. The (forme r grade
names of fresh specials, fresh extras,
/firsts, seconds, pullet extras, etc. etc.,
'have been changed to A41, A, B, and
"C, with different weight classifications
' within each grade.
The Chief 'purpose of the revision
is to enable the farmer to he paid on
a
,quality basis, ,as well as snaking it
possiblefor the consumer to tell what
* e or she is buying. (Producers are
!allowed eight eggs per half -case under
grade an examination and suitable
penalties are made 'for any infringe-
ment.
Hog Outlook Favourable
'While it is likely _'thcr e will be
some temporary price declines during
the present year, the trend of hog
prices appears upward. ,Market supply
prospects are for a moderate volume
during the ,first half of the year, fol-
+"iowed by a fairly substantial increase.
Prosects for export appear to be sat-

on exports frown foreign countries sell-

More Than $2,000 in Prizes
Offered for Malting Barley
This Province is ideally suited to
the growinlg,of Ifirat=class 'malting bar
ley and, with the iperpose of encour-
aging the efforts of 'Ontario .fainters
in producing this, ,crop, the Ontario
and 'Quebec ,Brewing Industry has of-
fered prizes amounting to well over
two thousand dollars. 'T'his was the
recent 'anutounoe•ment of Hon. Thomas
L. :Kennedy, Minister of ',Agriculture
For iOn•tari'o.
Ali Ontario farmers will be eligible
.for competition, 'an'd the media used
for exhibiting will include •the Winter.
Seed Fairs, 'Combined (Field Crop
Competitions, end the Fall (Fairs, six-
ty of 'which have already been sel-
ected.
,Prizes at the Winter and 'Seed
Faiirswill total some two hundred and
fifty d'ollar.s. 'Combined Field Crop

In connection with the ,Field Crop
Competitions, societies' have .been
chosen in areas particullerly well-
saiited'to producing the desired quality
of barley,
(All competitors must be paid-up
members of_ an Agricultural 'Society.
There .must be at least ten entries, and
:tot less than eight crops inspected. 11t
is further required that only Register-
ed O. A, C. 1No, '211, Barley be sown,
and 'that the minimum( acreage be five
acres, In case where a field entered
for competition comprises more than
five acres the entire 'field will be
judged.
'Before a competitor can qualify for
t prize, at least fifty bushels of the
crop must be cleaned to Grade No !1.
Field and bin inspection will'be made
without cost, and barley 'must be
ready for bin inspection and final gra-
ding not later than 'December 1.
Prizes in each competition will be
awarded as follows: First, thirty
dollars; Second,twenty-five dollars;
Third, twenty dollars; /Fourth, fifteen
dollars; Firth, ten 'dollars, and Sixth,
Five dollars.
Winter and Seed ,Fairs will include
Guelph Winter Fair, Ottawa Winter
Fair, !South -(Western 'Ontario Corn
and 'Seed Exhibition at Chatham,
Qui•e'te District !Seed Fair, and the
Ottawa Valley Seed Fair. At 'each of
these exhibitions fifty ,dollars .will be
distributed in prizes. Eighteen dol-
lars in prize money has been alloted
to each of 'the Fail Fairs, or a total ,of
ten hundred and eighty dollars,
No exhibitor may 'win a prize at
more than one ,Fall (Fair: This, bow -
ever, will not debar the exhibitor from
competing at one of 'the large seed
shows or winter fairs. 'Barley will be
judged on its suitability .for malting,
not for seed. The points desired in
Barley .for malting, in order of relative
importance are soundness, size and
uniformity of kernel; freedom from
other grains; and freedom from weed
seeds and inert .matter.
Concluding his remarks on this sub-
ject, Col. Kennedy said: "While I
heartily endorse any .movement de-
signed to encourage Ontario !farmers,
the action of the Ontario ,and Quebec
Brewing Industry should have an
even more ianporta'n't result than .only
raising 'the standard for malting
loan'1•ey. 11 look to e definite improve-
ment in all Ontario barley; whether
,grown for malting, feeding, or any
other purpose."
Dehorning Cattle
(Experience hes 'proved the great
advantage from every standpoint of
dehorning commercial cattle, and a
great 'benefrt 'would accrue to the
live stack industry if al 1 commercial
cattle were dehorned, Every effort
should therefore be made to attain
this object, and it more than merits
the active support and co-operation of
the press, and all itstitutiouis •and or-
ganizations in'teres'ted in the dive stack
industry to encourage the practice of
dehorning all horned commercial ,cat-
tle
attle between ,March '115 and April 15 or
during the month of October.
Champion Egg Eaters
Allthough, •compared with some
other countries, the per capita con-
sumption of poultry in Canada is rela-
tively law, Canada retains the egg -
whin championship, 'with 24!316 dozen
eggs consumed per 'head of 'population
,119138. 'While the average consump-
tion of poultry by each inhabitant of
the United 'States in that year was
about ei8 pound's, of which 7.7 pounds
were hens and chickens. Altogether
1x12 241',21016 pounds of poeltry and eggs
has been relatively well maintained.
Lu Jere last year ,according to the
bulletin, "The. Agricultural !Situation,"
issued by the Dominion Department
of Agricultnre, the number of hens
and chickens on farms in Canada was
54,943,000,
Soft (Bacon.
The further expansion of our bacon
'trade with Great (Britain depends to
a large extent upon quality improve-
ment. Recent advices from the Brit-
ish market criticize our supplies 'on
the score of underfinish in a large
percentage of bacon sides, as indicat-
ed by softness and flabbiness. This
soft flabby bacon is most likely the
product of •undedfinislted hogs, of
which there are •considerable numb-
ers being marketed at yards and
plants in Canada et the present time.
The remedy lies with the producer in
holding back unfinished 'hogs. In
most 'cases another week or so on
feed would put on the -finish so neces-
sary for the making of firm bacon•. Ail
hogs ,of bacon and select weights
shouid be properly (finihsed al their
weights. •Uudeefinish is as detrimental
as ovenfinish, .and in this case is a
very serious' obstacle to efforts be-
ing made to popularize Canadian
bacon with the (British consumer.
Every hog raiser is asked to co-oper-
ate to the best of his ability,
Raspberry Plantations
Where manure is not applied to
raspberry plantations until the spring.
a cover crop is also advisable to pre-
vent too late growth of •cane. As the
advent of mosaic disease is making it
advisable to renew planrtations more
frequently, the grower Who is unable
to get large quantities of manure will
!find that shorter rotation lends itself
more to the cover crop and ,mulch
,system, for each new plantation may
be preceded for season by a crop of
slaver or 'alsike which, when turned
over, will leave the soil in excellent
condition .for the new plantation.
This method of renewal, say every 6
years, 'with proper greening manur-
ing, cover crop or mulch, and .ade-
quate quantities of commercial fer-
tilizers, will render it p.ossib*e for
raspberry growing to take its place
beside orcharding, in being more or
less independent of the failing and in-
creasingly expensive supply of.
manure.

pranks is almost universal, . though
the origin is. really unknown. One
theory is that et originated in France,

made and gifts 'bestowed. 'With 'the
adoption of The new calendar in 1:564,
,New Year's Day was carried back
to January 1; and only pretended
gifts and mock ceremonial visits
were made on April 1, with a view
to making fools of those who were
so slow as to forget so 'important a
change. The custom once started
was kept up long after its origin had
been forgotten and its continuance
will always be assured, for it ap-
peals to a phase of human nature

COMPARATIVE FIGURES
'In 4332 the last year for which
comparative figures are 'available all
tate domestic consumers served by
Hydro municipalities used an aggre-
gate stun of $1110716,000, or an aver-
age cost inclusive of all charges of
only 11.'5'7 cents per kilowatt-hour, Ac-
cording to (United ,States een'ill's ;fig-
ures for 1532 the domestic consumers
served by 'privately -owned utilities in
that country paid an average of '5.60
cents per kilowatt -'hoar.
at is a simple natter to compute
that, if 'Ontario Hydro domestic con
owners had had to pay for the 740,-
000,000 kilowatt-hours they used in
1932, es much per kilowatt -'hour vs
United !States consumers paid, their
bills would have aggregated the vast
sum of S401',4190i000, or nearly $30,000,-
000 more than the amount their elec-
tricity actually cost them ,under Hy-
dro service,
A similar computation for the years
1911!4 to 19312 inclusive, based on actual
Hydro records, as contrasted with
costs per kilowatt-hour in the United
States as set forth in the Congression-
al Record and in the American Year
Book, indicates a differettce between
the 'result of applying United States
costs per 'kilowatt.Jhour to . quantities
of efeotrical energy used by Ontario
Hydro, domestic consumers, and the
actual Hydro charges paid by the Hy-
dro consumers of more than $250,000,-
000.
Such figures serve to enephasize the
real achievement that the Hydro un-
dertaking 'has accomplished in reduc-
ing costs per kilowatt-hour to the
consumer as compared 'to costs paid
elsewhere, and show 'that very large
sums of money: result from applying
the difference in costs per kilowatt-
hour to the tremendous quantities of
electrical energy used by Ontario's
1-Iydro domestic consumers.
Even if it be recognized that the
probable effect of attempting to
charge in Ontario at the rates preval-
ent elsewhere would have been to pre-
vent Ontario consumers from using
as match electricity as they actually
did under the low Hydro rates in
force; 'rhe fact neverthelesls remains
that Hydro has probably saved in ac-
tual cash to 'Ontario consumers many
tens of millions of dollars, and it has,
in addition, made possible the enjoy-
ment of comfort -giving and labour-
saving appliances on a scale that but
for low .Hydro rates would have been
beyond the reach of a large propor-
tion of Ontario consumers.
BASIS OF NEW PICTURE
A synopsis of the early 'history of
,the 'Rothdhilds which is the basis of
the new 'George 'Arliss 'film, "The
'House of Rothschild" is contained in
a recent issue of the 'Canadian Jewish
Chronicle, written by 'Henry W. Le
vy. The scene is set in the 'German
town o'f (Frankfurt, '17.911. At the gate
of rhe 'Juclengasse—'.he ghetto—the
guards are putting up the chains.
Dusk is approaching and no Jew may
enter or ;leave the Jew street and Jews
outside of this district are there at
their 04111 risk. Few Jews chance be-
ing locked out, being a Jew is enough
of a risk. From the window of the
House of the !Red 'S'hield from which
the family name of the Rothschilds is
derived, the old Mayer Amschel
Rothschild, 'founder of the 'family
fortune, contemplated tee fate of his
people. 'He watched with .resentment
the way his fellow Jews were being
herded like cattle into the Jew street.
"Some day and somewhere," be
thought, "it is going to be different.
The Jew will be treated as a 'human
being; he will be able to lift his bent
head and look up at the world," 'Birt

musings. (Running wildly through the
streets to his door ,was his third son,
Nathan. He came with the news of
the arrival of the tax collector. 'Fore-
warned, the Rothschilds prepared for
his coming. The !Rothschilds 'had met
the tax collector before' they knew
hiin for an unscrupulous, thieving and
heartless grafter. 'Valuables, lest they
be immediately confiscated, were put
away. All indications df prosperity
were exchanged for the ragged and
well worn. '
IA thundering knock at the door and
a vicious "Open up, jowl" and 'the
tax collector was in 'the midst of the
Rothschilds, !Evidence of poverty was
all about flim; he was given a :dupli-
cate 'book of accounts. (But he didn't

it. It was just a farce, preliminary to
the deal, The tax collector was go-
ing to raise Mayer Amschel's tax

gan the 'b:argaining. Finally it was
settled, Mayer was to continue paying
:2,000 gulden tax but he was to pay a
huge sum to the tax collector. The
.ax collector left. Not more than a
few minutes later a messenger rushes
-inwith the news :that 10,000 gulden

has been stolen by 'highwaymen. The
nrtney saved 'front the lac collector
was lost in another nay. Mayer 'Am-
schel rages. He suffers as 'stroke 'and
is taken upstairs. IA little later, know,
ing his death is near, he calls his five
sons together. He !speaks:

While visiting Rothschild Welling-
ton hints of a huge !French loan 'that
will make the (firm that floats it the
greatest financial power in Europe.
Rothschild bids on it, his bid is the
lowest but he gets no part of the loan.
On asking why, 'Baron 'Ledrantz., the
Prussian fiscal agent replies;
"A technicality."
"Am I to infer," asked Rothschild',
"that the technicality is that I'm a._
Jew."
"Yon may place whatever interpre-
tation you may desire on my words,
-1•fr. Rothschild, Your day is done,"
The knowledge that all the powers
he had helped to conquer Napoleon
had conspired against him with Led-
rantz, convinces Nathan that the Jew -
leas no chance for respect or dignity-
in
ignityin the 'outside 'world. 'Therefore he
farkids the marriage of Julie to Cap-
tain Fitzroy. To avenge :himself for
the insult from Ledrantz, Nathan
breaks the bond ntarlcet, forces down
rhe bonds to a point where the con-
spirators charged with a fourth -of the
:.'an, are lacing financial ruin. They
send for Rothschild. He will rescue
then only if they turn the entire loan
over to him, 'He has already prepared '
the memorandum for such a step and
he insists that Baron Led'raiatz 'be
the first to 's'ign the paper.
iLedrantz retaliates on the unfortun-
ate Jews of !Germany, 'Frankfurt and
the !Hoose di Red 'Shield are stared'
by a mob incited by the agents of
Ledrantz. Nathan hurries to the aid
of his family. Nathan is reproached
by his brothers with having brought

buy the safety of the 'Jews from Le-
drantz,.He prepares to leave for the
enemies' camp. Ledrantz has already
ordered his arrest should he try to
leave the country. Bet then word
comes by secret messenger, that Na-
poleon has escaped. Napoleon tries to
get his support. His brothers favor
a change of alliance. !Nathan stands
firm.
To make a long story 's'hort the
Rothschilds agree to support the Al-
lies provided the Jews are granted
freedom from oppression. The 'Allies
agree and the 'Rothsc'hild's fortune is
