THE NEW ELECTRIC FENCE (Electrically -charged wire used as a means of enclosing farm animals in a pasture or other outdoor area ' has bean tried out for a number Of years, particularly in the United States. _A strand or two of wire, insulated from the 'supporting posts, take the place of a more elaborate fence with a res sultant saving in time and expenseih. construction. For temporary enclos- ures or for rotating pastures, the idea seems to h.. well suited, says 'Ralph Purser in the Family Herald. A sim- ple source of current such as a car battery or a few dry cells keeps the wire charged and effectually restrains the animals: or the current may he taken off from a regular house light- ing circuit or home lighting plant, if such is available. It must, in every case, of course, 'be transformed to a safe, though effective, current for the purpose. While attending a recent field day at 'fienaptville Agricultural 'School the writer had an opportunity of seeing jit'.st how such a device operates. An enctosnre, about 76 feet square, made by driving in iron posts at each cor- ner --to which were attached two strands of barbed wire—was used as a corral for a 1;500 -pound Ayrshire bull, The two strands were suspended at heights of two and four feet, re- spectively, from the ground. Four small dry cells su'p'plied the current, which was 'broken at very short inter- vals by the use of a controller or "breaker" device, In some designs the current is cut on -and -off at ,five - second intervals. 'J. 'C. Shearer, prin- cipal of the school, remarked that al- though one strand would undoubted- ly have been sufficiently effective he felt just a little more secure in using the two, The simplicity of the whole con- struction, and the ease with which it could be set up- :anywhere, was at once apparent. ',For a small enclosure such as this, all that is required is four pointed iron or wooden posts, porcelain insulators, sufficient wire, source of current and current breaker. and some protection for these latter against the weather. For a large en- closure, more posts and wire are re- quired, the usual source of .power be- ing quite sufficient to accommodate any length of wire the average Tarni- er would require. The behavior of the 'ball (upon he - mg first Placed within the enclosure was interesting. AA'ter reconnoitring his position he started to investigate the apparent flimsy device used to re- strain him. Presently his -wet nose came in contact with a barb on the upper vire of 'the pseudo -+fence. ,Svr- prise and consternation were well ex- hibited in the backward bound of the animal. :Once more he made the in- vestigation, this time more gingerly than before. Once more there was the same result. Then the bull decided to attempt an attack from the rear. But when he backed up against the wire and felt the same stinging impulse the third time, that was enoughl So far as those at the school farm were aware, for the ten days previous to my visit during which he had 'been enclosed the bull had -not again touched either wire. The field -day visitors, of whom there were approximately seventy - fire, in inspecting the arrangement from a position outside o'f the corral. naturally attracted the bull's atten- tion. The latter, I noted, came iup to within about four inches of the wire, but was careful never to touch it.

Canadian National l•xhi'bition To- ronto, 'August 217 to September 11. The Department of Mines and Re- sources has just issued a neap of Canada on a scale bf 100 utiles to the inch' which gives, in addition to information of a general geographic- al character, t'he location of the chief natural resources of t'he Dominion. Colours are used to indicate the ap- proximate areas covered 'by 'the di'f- feren't types of forest growth in the Dominion, as well as the areas de- voted to wheat growing, mixed farm- ing incluci&ng dairying, ranching and the growing of fruit or other special crops. The wide distribution of Canada's mineral resources is shown in red lettering, the larger characters indic- 'ting the location of producing mines, and the smaller letters the ap- proximate position of prospects. Symbols of varying sizes show the relative importance of the developed and undeveloped water ,powers. The important coastal and inland .fisheries are also shown, as are the principal areas containing for -hearing animals, The Wrap is designed both for use in schools and for others who are in- terested in a general way in the nat-, ural resources of the 'coun'try. One copy will be sent free to any school upon 'application of the ,principal or board. of trustees. To the general public a charge of 1351c per copy is Made. 'Application should be made to the Surveyor 'General, 'Department of Mines and Resources, Labelle 'Build- ing, Ottawa. A man -wac buying a suitcase, .but none of those .shown seemed to please him.

Of recent ship- ments to the British Isles, the largest consisted of 70 ,fine horses !for the London market where prices, varying from 1200 to slightly over $5d0, were Obtained.. Twenty-one of the horses, which were big, clean -legged animals, each averaging over a ton in weight, met with keen demand. Five -Canadians 'horses *ere recently shipped to Barbados, British. West Indies, for ,police duty. Gather Eggs Often Eggs should be gathered at least twice a dap, and three times daily is better during hot weather. The time of one ,gathering should be just before dark or as near to it as practicable. 'This last gathering gtay not produce a great number of eggs, Out since broody hens will commonly search out the nest containing eggs after tate day's laying has ceased, failure to ga- ther late in t'he day is a common source of distinct deterioration. Each gathering should be placed in the coolest part of the cellar if no other cool spot is available, as soon as gathered. Eggs should not be put into cartons or cases immediately if this can be) avoided. The ideal con- tainer for cooling eggs is a wire tray. A wire basket is the next best, and perhaps the most practical, These baskets are ordinarily offered for sale as waste ,paper containers. . Seed Cleaner at Ridgetown • Work is being rushed on the new seed cleaning plant at .Ridgetown Ex- perimental Farm to get it ready for fall wheat. The new one -storey 'struc- ture is to 'be 60' feet by 30 feet, and will include a small laboratory for testing soil. There are many such cleaners and graders through the province. Others in the southwestern area district are at Dresden, Wyom- ing and Shedden. It will also have a small bean pick- er and complete dust -removing ma- chine. Farmers will be charged a rea- sonable fee the same as the .usual pre- vailing rate for such work. The small laboratory for soil test- ing will be in a corner of the seed and grain cleaning plant, and farmers coming to have grain cleaned and graded will be able to get their soil tested at the same time.

Nine separate rainfalls were recorded at (Chatham during June, totalling 4.7 inches, or double the average amount for June. As is usual with spring seasons of too heavy rainfall, some trot le has developed from blackroot and insect pests. Weeds have grown rapidly and without the usual check provided by frequent cultivation. Notlrwithstand- iitg, the difficulties experienced this spring, however, the thinned fields generally show excellent stands and give promise of a good crop. The commercial acreage will be somewhat less than the 30,000 acres planned as frequent rains prevented sone farm- ers front seeding the full acreage for which they had contracted. E. C.

Office hours:— Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday evening, 7:30 p.m. to 9 p:m Control of 'Asparagus Beetles There is every reason to beiieye that serious outbreaks of asparagus beetles during the cutting season such as that which was experienced this spring in some parts of the Ni- agara peninsula and in Norfolk coun- ty, could be prevented if a regular practice were made• of dusting. or spraying all asparagus patches with an arsenical after the cutting season is over. The early injury' is done by the beetles which overwinter, and therefore, the logical met'h'od of pre- venting such injury is to .reduce the population of overwinteringbeetles to very small proportions by apply- ing an arsenical now and by .applying it to all asparagus •plantations. The application' should be repeated when and where necessary. Dusting — 'Use an 8i5415 lime -cal- cium arsenate dust 0e6 tbs. Hydrated lime mixed with 115 lbs. calcium ar- senate). To insure proper mixing, the dust slhoeild he purchasedfrom one of the spray companies, Spraying—Use (0) '2 lbs. lead ar- senate -senate and 2 lbs. soap in 40' gallons water; or (a) 2 lbs. lead arsenate and %il!b. calcium caseinate in 410 gallons water. In order to reduce ;mechanical in- jury from the spray rig to the mini- mum, it is suggested that the spray- ing should be done from 'the top of the tank and that the spray mixture should be allowed to drift 'w'ith the wind over as wide a strip' as possible. Long, narrow patches may be spray- ed wholly from the outside. Still an - ether suggestion which should snake it po'ssi:b'ie to sp-ray wide strips is that an extralong hose should be used and that part of it should be held above the plants by a man or by be- ing a'ttache'd to a long pole or scant- ling fastened at right angles to the end of the sprayer, Sanitary 'Measures -Late , in the fall, :burn all rulb'bish in and around the - plantations to destroy any hiber- nating beetles in it.
