shalt Rear Dairy Calves In 1919?
Da brief, raise all the heifer calves
for which there is feed, labor, and
.stable -room. • More and better cows
are :needed in Ontario. The number
of milk -cows in the province bus re-
mained stationary at about one mil-
lion, for a good many years. There
is no good reason why this number
should not be doubled in the next ten
years, but it can be done only by
rearing or buying. Buying .cows is
expensive and rieky. It is a far bet-
ter plan to raise cows. This means
that all the best baiter calves should
be saved for future cows, As i1, re-
quires from three to four years to
change calves into cows, in order to
double the cow population in, ten
years, making allowances for neces-
sary discards, we need to begin right
away, in. order to attain the desired
object.
The average number of cows per
100 acres of farm land in Canada is
but two, whereas in Denmark it is
fourteen, and in Holland sixteen. We
have a long way to go in rearing
cows, before we have anywhere nem
the number which aro found in the
hest European dairy countries.
There is but one.economical way to
attain this result, and that is by
raising practically all the heifer
calves dropped during the next ten
Years and as many pure-bred calves
of excellent ancestry, as may be re-
quired. for breeding purposes.
Shall I Sell Milk or Creem?
This will be determined to a large
extent by the character of the farm.
ing operations; If the need. for
direct, quick cash in largest amount,
is great, then selling milk will best
"fill the bill." On the other hand,
if the dairy farmer can afford to wait
for the slower returns from cream
and live -stook, anti particularly hc•
desires to improve or maintain roll
fertility, then selling cream Li to be
recommended.
Nearness to market iu another
factor. Where the dairymen is near
a small town and had the te
"peddle" milk, he can make more
money out of his cows than by any
other syetere. At ten to twelve coats
a quart, It good COW Will return from
$250 to $3 0 0 per yeer for her milk
When this is compered witli el 00 to
$150 per cow, where creme is sold,
or milk sent to a cheese factory or
condensery, we sep what a &aided
money advantage there is in stalling
milk to customers direct. — Prof.
IL Deal', 0. A. Collage, Gueleh,
How Many Pigs to a Cow?
• Pigs and cows work very well to-.
.gether as the hog is one of the most
economical meat producers on the
farm, and does especially well on
dairy by-products—skimmilk, butter-
milk and whey.
The number of pigs per cow will
depend on the kind of dairying the
farmer is engaged in. If selling
milk for direct consumption, for the
uuilk condensory, or for the powder
milk factory, there is no by-product,
hence it is doubtful if hogs, under
these conditions, will pay at all, espe-
cially with an uncertain market.
Whey, from the cheese factory, will
not support so many pigs per cow as
will sktmunilk and buttermilk from
the farm dairy, or creamery.
On the average, we recommend one
brood sow for each ten cows supply-
ing milk to a cheese factory, and one
sow for eve or six cows where cream
or butter is sold from the farm. if
a sow reared 10 or 12 pigs each
year, this would work out at froen
one to two pigs per cow on a dairying
farm. There are times when a =eli
greater number than this would be
on the farm, as the pigs would be
in ;various stages .ot maturity. Tho
farmer and successful pig -raiser aims
to keep up a regular procession of
pigs from the sow to the bacon fac-
tory. This plan tends to stabillee
markets, prevents the gluts which
frequently demoralize the bacon busi-
ness and causes 'farmers to stay in
the hog game, instead of playing "in
and out" which is not good for any
business.—Prof. H. H. Dean, 0. A.
Qollege, Guelph.

Barbeery shellac!. not •be
tolerated by the farmers of
Ontario. It is a thief in
their midst; which every
year 'lakes money from their pockets,
by increasing the amount of rust up-
on their grain, and thus reducing
their crops. . •
The Beaherry Increeses the Amount
and. Severity of Rust.
It is not necessary to go into the
complicated life -history of the fun-
gus which cause3 stem rust of grain,
Scientists have known for many
years that one phase of its life -cycle
is passed on the Barberry, and all
who have made a study of this mat-
ter agree that the amount and sev-
erity of stem rust is very much in-
creased by the presence of the Bar-
berry in the neighborhood of grain
aelds. While scientists do not expect
to see rust entirely disappear if the
Barberry is destroyed, the general
consensus of opinion is that if it
were completely exterminated the
chances of severe epidemics of stem
rust occurring would be greatly
reduced.
Enforce the LUNY TicAarding the
Be rherry,
In Ontario legishe ion has been
passed. garding the deetruction of
this shrub. Let all concerned realize
that the Barberry does increase the
amount and severity of stem rest
and a sentiment will be created for
the enforcement. of the present act,
This act should be eneorced. The
Barberry in Ontario should be. de-
stroyed. There et etrong evidence to
show that Barberry bushes are cen-
tres of infection which in, wet sea-
sons may give rise to severe epi-
demics of rust.
The Common Barberry and Its Pier-
ple-leav-ed Variety the Culprit.
The Common Barberry and its
purple -leaved variety harbor grain
rust. The average man does not
know this shrub when he sees it. It
is a spiny shrub from six to -nine feet
high, with yellow wood, arching
branches and gray twigs. The leaves
are bright green, smooth, somewhat
oval, from one to three inches long,
the margins with bristly teeth. The
flowers are small, yellow and borne
in long, drooping- clusters. The ber-
ries are obloug, red and sour. The
purple -leaved variety is similar ex-
cept far the color of the leaves, which
are purple. Unfortunately, the Bar-
berry has been much planted in some
melees of Ontario for ornamental
purposes and has become wild in
many localities.
The Japanese Barberry Harmless.
01 Barberries are required for or-
namental shrubs the low growing,
small leaved Japanese Barberry
(Berberis thumbergii, D.C.) may be
planted, as this species does not har-
bor the rust,—Prof. J. E. Howitt,
0. A. College, Guelph.
currant and Gooseberry Worm.
The most common insect enemy of
currants and gooseberries is the
Currant and Gooseberry Worm. The
larva is a greenish caterpillar, about
three-quarters of an inch long when
full, grown, with a black bead and
numerous black spots over the body-.
The larvae attack the foliage of
gooseberries and of red and white
currants but seldom injure that of
black currants. At first they work
chiefly in the central part of the
bush, stripping the leaves nearly all
off there, and doing much damage
before they are observed. Later
they may devour the foliage any
place. It is common to see nearly all
the leaves eaten off numerous
bushes.
The life history of the insect is
as follows:—The adults,—which are
known as Savalles—are small four -
winged flies, about a quarter of an
inch in length. The female has the
.abdomen yellowish and the rest of
the body blackish in color. The male
is for the most part blackish or
black. The flies appear in spring very
soon after the leaves have expanded.
Eggs are laid on the under surface
of the leaves in chains along the
main veins. Tlie young larvae on
hatching feed upon the foliage and
become full grown in two or three
weeks. Then they drop to the ground
and form little cases in which they
pupate. A new brood of flies emerge,
lay their eggs and from these there
conies "a, second brood of . larvae,
which may be seen on the plants at
the time when the currants are ripe.
When these larvae are full grown
they -enter the soil, form little eases
or cocoons, and remain there till the
next year, when they pupate and
emerge as adults. •
Method Of Control.— These are
easy insects to kill. All currant
bushes- and gooseberries should be
sprayed with from two to throe
pounds arsenate of lead paste or half
that a.mount of the powder form in
forty gallons of water as soon as the
leaves have become well expanded.
Particular care should be taken to
spray thoroughly the inner parts of
theelpslaaakte evija„KteelLther tOjst
btood. If a second brood appears
hellebore should be used instead of
arsenate of lead, in Ulu proportion
of ono ounce to one gelloa o water.
Arsevo of load would be clan3'..rous
on the ripe fruit. The insect of.Turs
everywhere in tit..! plvince, and
_ everyone ehould preveet his plains
.lieing weakened and seriously injur-
ed by it, eepecielly an it is so easy
to control.

mulching and its good effects are
found. in every well -tilled garden,
but to a large degree the practice is
practicable. on the farms by a judi-
cious use of the harrow and roller.
When the grain fields are rolled im-
mediately after seeding, the harrow
should be used; if power enough be
available both may bo passed over
the field at once. Even after the
grain is up 3 or 4 inches, should a
heavy rain pack down the soil, the
roller may be used to good advan-

more frequently the corn and root
fields are cultivated throughout the
season of growth, the more effective
the mulch will be to .conserve the soil
moisture.—R. R. Graham, 13.8.A.,

have better and more live -stock, and
consequently richer soil, which, af-
