COMPARISON OF BREEDING METHODS WITH DAIRY CATTLE An experiment was started at the Cap Rouge Experimental Station some fifteen years ago to compare close breeding, line breeding and out- crossing of dairy cattle. That in- breeding does not necessarily lower vitality is shown by the following instances: Finette was bred to her son Victor and gave Gougou who be- came the champion two year old pro- ducer of the breed. The latter did not lack stamina as she qualified for Record of Performance as a three year old, as a four year old, and as a mature cow. She gave Jeanne, the champion 305 day mature cow of the breed, and Iliade who was at one time champion three year old producer. The good effects of line breeding are shown in the case of Colombelle who, to the service of Delphis, gave Albertine with 'a yield of 228 pounds of fat, as a two year old. Albertine, bred to Elegant, a son of Delphis, gave Herodiade with a production of 354 pounds of fat, as a 2 year old. Herodiade, bred to Champion, a grand son, of Delphis, gave Lumina, the, champion 2 year old of the breed up to 1927, with 475 pounds of fat. It must not be forgotten, however, that concentration of blood will in- crease defects as well as qualities, so that the main requisite is the use of animals of high vitality having no de- fects in common. PROTEIN MIXTURES GROWN ON THE FARM The use of home grown protein as a means of economy in live stock feeding is apparently receiving more serious attention at this time than ever before. Any cropping system that eliminates cash outlay is wel- coaned by the producer and thus the growing of high protein crops to sup- plement, in part at least, the use of concentrates, must be considered in any attempt at lowering the cost of 1Lt{- t!IKnr r µ M1_ ..�Ma% prod4010ixi, Some experimental work was start- ed by the GerM.al Division at Ottawa 1929 relating particularly to the use -of peas for grain when grown in combination with oats and wheat. Different varietiee of these crops were compared in various combinations. The yield of 'protein was determined in cooperation with the Division of Chemistry. Other observation's were also made relating to the suitability of the combinations from the standpoint of ease of harvesting. The use of peas in the grain crop always in- creases the danger of added expense to the cast of handling the crop, hence the importance of using shot'; straw - ed varieties of other crops. The yield of a mixture of cereal crops is also affected as a result of using varieties that do not mature at approximately the same time. In -actual yield of protein the re- sults show -quite naturally, that peas grown alone give the highest return per acre. Since peas alone are dif- ficult to harvest however, the inclus- ion of oats or wheat to hold up the crop in order that it can be cut with the binder has been an interesting part of this work. It has been shown from the work thus far, that an early short strewed pea variety mixed with Alaska oats and sown at about 1% bushels of peas and 1 bushel of oats to the acre, not only gave the highest yield of pro- tein per acre hut also stood up fairly well at maturity. When wheat is in- cluded in the above mixture, theac- tual percentage of peas harvested is greater than in the pea and oat mix- ture, but the total yield of protein is reduced because of the smaller quan- tity of oats and further, because wheat did not develop normally when grown in mixture with peas. Alaska oats have proven very satisfactory in mixture with peas, since this var- iety is fairly strong in the straw and tillers rather less than later varie- ties. An early short strawed variety of peas called Early Blue which is not yet available commercially, has done exceptionally well with Alaska oats. Most of the common varieties of peas are rather long in the straw and tend to pull down even the strongest oat [varieties. Early seed- ing is important in growing mixtures with peas and quick maturity tends to reduce the chances of lodging. ITALY TRIES NEW LICENSING SYSTEM A new system of lettering license plates which allows highway police to instantly identify what part of the country a car comes from is now be- ing tried in Italy, according to The Autocar. Instead of a set of letters and fig- ures which could only be interpreted by a code, cars have been classed ac- cording to provinces—in Ontario this would correspond to counties—and these provinces are indicated by the first two initials of each. For --ample, cars from the small province of Torino have TO preceding the numerals ; those from Palermo have PA and so forth. The Royal Automobile Club of Italy is responsible for this reform. This motoring body is almost a govern- ment institution, and is entrusted with the task of collecting car taxes and issuing licenses. It is, however, responsible to Premier Mussolini for all its actions, as illustrated by an Itching nds Nigh ` AWRY "I had °czema for several wogths. Slagle ppgn- catiou of ,Sootha-Salva' ended itch and hurt; right hwap My s1 is is now clear." Jane Paula. "Booths Salva" is quickest known relief for eczema. Itching stops; scales go. All druggists. IMP incident described by an official of the club. The scheme for lettering the license plates was submitted for the approval of the dictator, Mussolini passed his pencil approvingly down the list of provinces and their ab- breviations until hecame to the RO in front of Roma. "Rome is eternal and cannot be ab- breviated; make the necessary change, he ordered. And so it came about that, while the residents of the various Italion provinces carry two initials on their license plates, the citizens of Rome have the privilege of using the full word "Roma." RECIPES Home -Made Sausage. One and one-half pounds best qual- ity shoulder pork; free from, all sin- ews. 1 teaspoonful salt, 1-8 teaspoon- ful -ground pepper, 1 heaping teaspoon powdered sage, a dash of cayenne, 1/.c cup water. Cut the pork into one -inch squares, then put it through the food chopper, using a fine knife. Then add to the chopped meat the seasoning and wa- ter. Mix and ]peat thoroughly, form into flat cakes—not more than one- half inch thick—held together as loosely as possible. Fry as you would sausage—but do not overcook. Cole Slaw. Three-quarters teaspoonful salt, dash of pepper, 1% tablespoonfuls su- gar, 3 cups finely cut cabbage, 2 table spoonfuls lemon juice or vinegar, six tablespoons evaporated milk. Add salt, pepper and sugar to cab- bage. Combine lemon juice or vine- gar with milk, then add to cabbage. Keep cold until ready to serve. Scalloped Chicken. Boil a hen until tender. Remove the meat from the bones and cut into small pieces. Put a layer of cooked spaghetti in the bottom of a baking - dish. Add a layer of chicken with a little hard=cooked, chopped egg. Add another layer of spaghetti, then chick- en, then egg, as before. Put a thin layer of spaghetti on the top. Over this spread one cupful of buttered toast crumbs. Moisten the mixture with chicken broth or whole milk. Bake for about 45 minutes in a mod- erate oven (350 deg. F.), making sure that the top is well browned before removing from the oven.

HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES For Toothache. In the medicine closet stands a small, wide-mouthed, screw-top glass jar (vaseline jar) in which we store a tiny bottle ofj oil of cloves (6 cents' worth), a wad of absorbent cotton and a number of toothpicks. The jar is plainly labelled "For toothache." It is always there ready for the tooth- ache that .must be eased until the den- tist can attend to it; there is no time wasted for the. cure. Also, in a tin with a hinged lid, are small rolls of clean, soft, old cotton of different width, adhesive tape, and a bottle of iodine ready for the chil- dren's cuts and bruises. The children know where this equipment is—and know how to attend to their own hurts—without bothering me to at- tend to them. This is useful in em- ergency cases when mother may not be at hand. * * * The reason why straw brooms •6vear away on one side and become uneven is because the housewife holds her broom in one position while sweep- ing, pressing constantly on one side of the broom. To prevent this and so lengthen the life of the broom, gum a piece of adhesive tape to one side of the handle and form the habit of turning your broom round in your hand. The tape on the !broom will en- able you to know which side was used next to you last. I have used this method and have found that it length- ens the life of the broom considerab- ly. * * * Saving On Eggs. Should you wish to use fewer eggs in any recipe allow one-half teaspoon- ful extra of baking powder and two tablespoonfuls extra of liquid for each egg that is left out. I have tried this and find it an excellent plan when eggs are expensive. * * * When sewing buttons on my small son's trousers I always sew a small flat button inside—then the buttons do not come off so • quickly. One can use the tails of men's worn shirts for making small aprons. To remove the kinks out of ravel- led wool, wind it in skeins and put it in a stealer over boiling water. Al- low it to steam for about five minutes, then hang to dry. * * * An Economical Almond Icing. Take a potato of medium size and bake until just soft. Be sure that it is floury. Remove from the skin, mash, then stir in the yolk of one egg —then as much pulverized sugar as will make it of the right consistency to spread; flavor to taste with almond flavoring extract. * * * A Quick Shoe Shine. With a piece of flannel rub a little good quality floor wax on the shoes; polish with the dry side of the flan- nel. Will last well. * * * When Washing Berets. When washing children's woollen or flannel berets stretch them over a plate to dry—then they will not shrink. To prevent coal dust and ashes from rising from the cellar place a square of cheesecloth or a square cut from sugar bags aver the register in each room. Have two sets of squares. and wash one set each week You will be surprised at the amount of dust that will be collected on each' square. * * * To brighten up colored silk articles which are faded take ordinary tissue or crepe paper, soak it in hot water until the desired shade is obtained, then dip the article. Rinse in cold water; roll and iron. This is an in- expensive way of brightening worn articles. We must all be conscious of a drip, drip, drip of the commonplace on the minds and eyes of those who frequent cinemas.—Mr. W. W. Vaughan. GEESE AS GUARDIANS BEAT THE BEST DOG The watchdog is being deposed from high high estate as a. `symbol of reli- ability. The gander is apparently still more trustworthy. Anyway, a number of poultry farm- ers in Hampshire, England, have been, training old ganders to protect their property against ,night raids 'by thieves, which have been occurring in the district. They say that the gan- ders give warning of a raid more quickly than a watch dog would. erobably, too, the thieves fear them more. Geese can be 'extremelyfierce, roe, and this quality is cultivated in the, old ganders who are selected for watch duty. They are also very strong —a blow from one of their wings would disable a raider and might ev- en break his leg. •' Geese as watchdogs are not an en- tirely new development. Ganders are used in this Way on the Continent. Arid, long centuries ago, a floek of geese saved Rona by guying Warning of a night attack on the capitol. { Capital, $ 36,000,000 Rest and Undivided Profits, $38,947,047 Total Assets, $826,969,537 BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRESIDENT SIR CHARLES GORTON, G.

Many purchasers of dairy cattle are beginning to realize that a dairy cow is worth what she is able to 'pro- duce on her investment, after taking care of necessary expenses. More and more the discriminating cow buyers are looking for animals with records, and the enterprising dairy- man who is far-sighted enough to see this trend can well jump at the chance of having his cows tested and their relative profits determined. 7- 'Tile Drainage. The Drainage Department, O. A. C., supplies a man to survey your farm for tile drainage. Such survey will show you on a blue print a complete system of tile drainage recommended for your farm. It will tell you what depth to dig each drain and the num- ber and various sizes of tiles to pur- chase. Send in your application to your local departmental representa- tive. Weekly Crop Report. Generally •speaking, farmers in On- tario are somewhat perturbed over the egg situation although in one or two counties, the price remains quite firm, according to the weekly crop report from representatives. Egg production is coming ahead in most Bruce 'County flocks with low prices of 20c, 17c and 12c. Feed is plenti- ful in Dufl'erin and cattle appear to be in excellent condition, 'while in Dundas, an increasing demand for pure bred stock is indicated. Chick hatcheries in Essex anticipate a good year but are not reassured by the present condition of the• egg market. In Frontenac farmers are getting 22c to 28c per dozen for their eggs and a heavy demand for dressed' poultry is apparent. Butter, which is 25 per cent. lower in price gives Grenville farmers a profit 'because - feed is 50 per cent. lower. Little feed for cat- tle is being purchased in Huron, there 'being a. good supply of grain and hay throughout the .county. A large number of cattle are! being stall -fed or finished ache •sold toward the end of April in Lambton. Dairy produc- tion in 'Middlesex is being maintained with an abundance of feed; egg pric- es are disappointing. The latter ap- plies also to Oxford where prices are at an unusually low level. An in- creased interest in hog breeding is noted in Renfrew with a possibility of 50 per cent. more hogs this season than last. Good Apple Season. With practically the whole of last year's apple crop marketed, it may be assumed according to P. W. Hodgetts, that Ontario growers have had an excellent season. The bulk of the Ben Davis were disposed of in continental European markets, with the exception of a' thousand bar- rels which went to South America. Apple marketing conditions have been restored more or less to normal with the gradual opening up of a new market in Europe and the dis- placement of Ben Davis with much better varieties. Although the crop has been only fair in quantity, prices have been quite satisfactory. As a result, the general year is regarded with a good deal more enthusiasm than in several years past. With re- gard to 1931, prospects seem quite good. All fruit trees went into the winter in first class shape and there was no excessive moisture last fall. Seed -Cleaning Machines. The Ontario and Dominion Depart- ments of Agriculture have reached an -agreement whereby they will share the cast of helping farmers at strategic centres to install, main- tain and operate power seed -cleaning plants. Assistance is to be given in the form of grants amounting to 50 per cent. of the invoice cost of clean- ing machines at local stations, such grant in no instance to exceed $500. The grant will be made available to an individual or an organization of farmers interested in seed -cleaning machinery, and provided it is shown there is a need for such equipment in the district from which the applica- tion comes. Each application must be accompanied by a petition signed[ by 25 farmers stating that there is a need in the district for such cleaning machinery. Owners of plants receiv- ing Governmentigrants will be asked to sign a seven-year contract promis- ing seed -cleaning service to neighbor- ing farmers at reasonable rates. The plan is calculated to inerease farm ef- ficiency and decrease grain produc- tion costs. The result of seed drill surveys in Ontario . in the last two years shows that more than 30 per cent. of the samples of seed taken from seed drills was undesirable on account of heavy weed seed content. r Junior Farmer Education. Schools of agrieultuz'e and house- hold science in every county in On- tario is the objective and part of the permanent policy of the Department; Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, recently stated in an- nouncing that there are 12,000 young men and women attending the winter ' short course classes. For the firsb time every _county in the province has a short course under the direc- tion of the • Departinent. Part of the federal grant which is coming to the Ontario Department will be used to establish permanent county centres. Colonel Kennedy is a strong believer in agricultural education for the jun- ior farmer, a work that is still only in its infancy. Boosting Ontario Products. The success achieved by Onion Week demonstrates the possibilities that lie behind a well -organized and ably -directed campaign for the sale of home grown farm products. The onion growers started out with the idea of bettering their position by their own efforts and have found that such a worthwhile enterprise gains friends and supporters' as it proceeds. Plans are now under way for promot- ing the consumption of home grown carrots and cabbage. The net result of these efforts must be to reduce the amount of foreign -grown produce sold on Canadian markets. The De- partment is endeavoring to play an important part in this work by means of its daily noon broadcasts over Sta- tion •CKGW, Toronto, which are eag- erly listened to by thousands of On- tario families. Rations For Cattle. The committee on rations for On- tario, which has made a careful study of the subject, recommends the fol- lowing rations for dairy cattle: For every 100 lbs. live weight, 1 Ib. al- falfa hay or red clover, 2 lbs. sil- age, 2 lbs. roots, with the following concentrates, 200 lbs. oats, 200 lbs. bran, 100 lbs. barley, 50 lbs. cotton seed, 50 lbs. oil cake, or as alterna- tive concentrates, 204) lbs. oats, 100 Ms. bran, 100 Ms. gluten feed, 25 Ms. oil cake. Where lower grades of hay are used, the recommendations are: For every 100 lbs. live weight, 1 Ib. lower grades of hay, 2 lbs. silage, 2 lbs. roots., and the following con- centratese 200 lbs. oats, 2100 ;lbs. bran, 100 lbs. barley, 100 Thr, oil cake, 100 lbs. cotton seed. Alterna- tive concentrates are•as follows: (1- 200 Ms. •oats, 100 lbs. bran, 100 lbs. gluten feed, 50 Mos. oil cake, 50 lbs. cotton seed; (2- 100 lbs. oats, 100 lbs. barley, 100 lbs. bran 100 lbs. oil cake, 50 lbs. cotton seed; (3) 200 lbs. oats, 100 Ib s. bran, 100 lbs. bar- ley, 200 lbs. oil cake. Where roots are not available, 'increase silage to 3 lbs. per 100 lbs. live weight and use same grain ration as above. Where silage is not available in- crease roots to four pounds per 100 lbs. live weight and use s'am'e grain ration's as above.
