The .per capita consumption of eggs in Canada is approximately 366.18 a year, according to J. A. Carroll, secre- tary of the 'Ontario Marketing Board, a record unequalled' in any other country, 'because of the fact that Canada produces the best eggs. Mr. Carroll gives as- the underlying rea- son the fact that Canadian:eggs are government graded, and declares: "Guesswork is eliminated: The an- noyance and disappointment of pay- ing for a high quality product and re- ceiving an inferior one, is a thing of the past in Canada, so far as the egg business is concerned. The old, ex- pression, get the buyer. beware', is ob- solete in this country when eggs are !being purchased, 'T'he Canadian con- sumer decides .the quality of eggs he or site purchases, not the 'dealer, pro- viding the eggs are bought by grade, As 'for the effect of this huge 'con- sumption on general prosperity, con- sider these figures. The farmer re- oeived an average price of 23 cents a dozen for his eggs, o'r a total ' rev enue of $69,9'40,000. The consu'mea paid an average price of 38.5 cents a dozen or a total of $1'1'7,176,000, Thedifference of $4723'4;000 is the suni contributed to business' in the way of transportation, storage, merchande izing and incidental costs." Ship Approved Cockerels Under the federal policy of cocker- el distribution arran'gemen'ts have been made to ship .male birds which have passed inspec'tion to 'Ontaeio points to supply demands for the coating breeding season. Onelot of 200 cockerels is being shipped front Nova Scotia and New aB'runewiele .to Ontario, while another lot of around. 500 'birds is being shipped from ' the Western Provinces also to Ontario. Most of 'these birds are 'Barred' Ply- mouth . Roches and Wya,ndottea, Fattening Poultry. In crate -feeding poultry particular care should be taken to feed a ration which will produce the white fait an'd• the milk -'fed qu'al'ity. The foll'o'wing ration has been tested and found suit- able for orate feeding: Equal parts of middlings, grouted oats and barley; equal parts of imiddl'ings•, ground oats and. ground new potatoes; equal parts of middlings, ground oats and snash- ed"p,otatoes; equal parts' of middlings, r ground oats- and' cornmeal; equal TRY Gillespie's Cleaners & Dyers WITH YOUR NEXT ORDER: Phone 196w.

Important. B'aeley ,hias competed s'trotrgiy with Wheat as a revenue'producer 001 On- tarlo farm's. This grain holds an im- portant place, for several reasons. Ilt is a comparatively high yielder. .• Ex- periments eholw'that mixed with early oats, returns front the com'binatio'n exceed highe+s't yields''o'b'tai'nable from either grain separately. Also in (anal- yses, it, is shown that in' carbohyd- rates and protein,, barley cont'pnres very favorably with field corn. Barley is also the north country corn. Itr northern counties, where early frost's render the growing seasonto'o short 'for the production of large craps of corn, barley is found to be an ex- cellent substitute. It grows rapidly and is the shallowest rooted of all the cereals. Because of these two points, barley doe's best of all cereals , on ground which .is 'in'suff'iciently drain- ed and hence is cold and +backward in' spring. In recent experiments by the !Department of. Chemistry, O.A,'C., was noted that the highest yields of barley were realized where it fol- lowed a .root crop. The department's experiments' with fertilizer on barley, showing a big increase in yield where 'fertilizers were used,' are important, in view of the fact that this province last year sowed 508,000 acres of barley. Hay Market Quiet. The lhay market is reported as ex- tremely quiet throughout' Canada. The domestic demand during !Decem- ,ber was light as compared with other years, owing td the mild weather. The usual' movement of hay to 'lu'm'ber, ruining an d, road construction camps was not as brisk as in other years. The export detnattd for hay continues to be poor and unless it improves no real substantial movement is expect- ed of the large supplies of commerc- ial hay shill in growers' 'hands in many parts of 'Canada. Prices being paid for immediate needs of the trade are much •lower titan in other years. Alfalfa For Poultry. ,Alfalfa in 'the green state has 'long' been recognized as an ideal poultry feed when used in conjunction with the usual grain's and mashes. iN is used extensively as range'or as cut green feed for birds in confinement during the spring, summer and 'fa11 month's in most alfalfa-grawdng areas, but the value of the hay as a winter. feed is not so generally known. So touch of .the year's success depends on the number and quality of chi'c'ks hatched each spring, that it is import- ant to do all pos'si'ble to increase the fertility and hatchability of the eggs and the livability of the chicks. 'Ex- periments have s'hows that 20 per sent. better fertility and 6.4 per cent. - better hatcltability of fertile eggs can be obtained from birds where alfalfa` hay instead of straw is used as litter in She 'breeding pens, .The alfalfa should be used as litterduring the winter months preceding the breeding season and the same treatment given to males and females. :Ontario Growers' Council Asks Growers Register Acreage.
