THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1938 NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER (Furnished by the Ontario ... HONEY OUTLOOK It impos le at moment to estimate Bg gree Of accuracy the honey crop ior 1988, but with an increase in the number of bee colonies reported, the capacity for production has in- creased over previous years. It is quite possible. however, that winter losses may offset this increase. Fur- thermore, reports indicate a possible shortage of major nectar securing plants in 1938 due to the heavy win- ter-killing of 1936-37, and a short- age of clover seed. Bacon Exports Regularity of supply is important and necessary in building up. a trade connection for Canadian bacon on tre United Kingdom market and as an aid to keeping prices at a reason- ably constant level, states tle Cana- i Animal Products ( a Ss in England. 'During 1937 there 'was more irregularity in Cana- dian shipments than during 1936, also a substantial spread in quan- tities. A duct, and as it is handled in large volume an increase lof 55 percent or in a few weeks' 18 with any de- over in imports time makes it impossible to place. this surplus on the market without causing price fluctuations. Canada is the only overseas bacon suppiler out of 20 countries which has the freedom of the British market sO far as volume is concerned, and her imports are easily the second larg- est, with Denmark leading. Crate-Fattening Poultry iL In crate or pen fattening poultry | the made greatest gains In on the for market, weight are ly grade "C" for fleshing and fat oF sold straight off the range. Such | birds should make steady gains up to three weeks feeding. If the birds, are in. good shape and reasonably | fat when placed in the crates a shorter finishing period may be, used. The average increase in weight in, normal crate feeding - should more than pay for the feed. The increas- ed returns from improvement in radditional profit. Some ground | grains, such as corn and wheat, are better than others but any grains the farmer may have are suitable. Small and unmarketable potatoes, cooked and mashed, are economical and add palatability to any ration. They also help to produce white fat. Milk in any form is desiraole; whey may be used if milk is not mvailable. The addition of mutton tallow or any animal fat to the.ra- tion will increase the proportion cf fat on the finished carcass. Prepare Farm Horses for Work In Spring The mechanically-minded tractor- armer nv GWOUDT yay nis Tractor thoroughly overhauled in prepara-' tion for the spring work. The far- 'mer who depends on horse power may well take a leaf same book, for while horses attend to their own repairs, nevertheless a certain amount of "tuning up" is necessary even with horses if cco- nomical power is to be obtained. Most idle horses will have been wintered on a good maintenance ra- tion and rightly so, as 'horses fat- tened during the winter are inclin- ed to be soft and in poor condition for hard spring and summer work. The maintenance ration of rough feeds should now be gradually re- placed by a - medium grain ration and better quality roughage, pre- ferably timothy hay, increasing the quantity until a full working ration is being fed at the start of the heavy spring work. If the hair is long clipping is desirable and thorough grooming is energy well spent at all times. Clean and fit collars and harness carefully. Daily washing of shoulders after the day's work with cold salt water will cleanse and toughen the skin, especially in young horses.. ' Particular attention should be paid to the teeth of the horse. If necessary have the teeth examined and "floated" to provide proper grinding surfaces. Trim the feet carefully, keeping the wearing sur- faces level. For work and heavy, shoeing is not always necessary, but | where needed frequency and correct- ness of shoeing is important. Lice, worms and bots take their toll of the horse's energy and should be eliminated early in the campaign. Plenty of good feed, timely atten- tion and thought, not unmixed with the milk of human kindness, will work wonders in the development of basic power and rippling force in man's faithful friend, the noble horse.

The healthier a bird is kept the better use it will make of its feed. There is sometimes quite a | heavy loss because the birds are | more or less weaklings due to sone | infection or lack of attention when young or growing.

An early planting in the | | found to be good Where by the time the late March chicks are ready to go on range. Another strip could be planted later and the colony house or range shelter mov- ed on to it when the first strip is picked off or has become too coarse. ! Prof. Graham's pasture recommen- Cation is as follows: | Fall sown rye for early spring pasture, which may be supplement- | ed with permanent grass pasture. In spring, an early variety of oats, could be sown as soon as possible, in April, another lot sown early in May and again late in May in order to keep fresh green feed coming | along. Once the cereals joint they are greatly reduced in value as a poultry pasture. To supply pasture during the summer and early fall, kale, swiss chard, rape and corn could be planted. Corn and rape could be sown late in May where 'Besides ziv- ing green feed the corn is valuable for supplying shade. The rape could be broadcast and the corn sown in drills. Moving the colony houses or shelter permits more com- vlete utilization of the pasture crop and improves general sanitation of toe range. The fertility of the soil| will affect the quality of the pas- ture. | A NEALTH SERVICE oF TME CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES | WHAT TO EAT TO BE HEALTHY ; Number Four Every individual requires to eat a certain quantity of vitamin C to prevent scurvy. A lack of vitamin | C affects the miles and miles of capillaries throughout the body. The following foods give you Vi- tamin C: Oranges, lemons, and grapefruit, tomatoes raw or fac- tory canned, and most raw fruits and vegetables. Vitamin C is very | troyed by heat. It is therefore, that everyone take each day some raw fruit or raw vege- | tables. Canadian factory ecanaed i tomatoes are an excellent source of | vitamin C because the cooking is | done without exposure to air. The lack of vitamin D in the diet | causes rickets in children, soft bones and defective teeth. + The following foods give you vi- | tamin D: 'Cod ilver oil, and other | fish oils in liquid or capsule form, egg yolk, and sunshine in summer. As this food element is not ob- { tained in ordinary foods in ade- I quate amounts, it is absolutely es- sential for every infant and child, | and very advisable for every adult, to take some vitamin D during the winter months from October | through to April. One teaspoonfol of cod liver oil gives you as much vitamin D as 14 egg yolks or 1500 servings of spinach. There are available in many parts of Canada specially prepared milk and bread which contain vitamin D. Much has been said and written in recent years about the vitamins, but not all that one hears and reads about them is true. Food faddists and exploiters have toyed with the vitamins extensively. ' They have a very important part to play in normal diet for normal people and if you follow carefully the information contained in this series of articles on "What to Eat to be Healthy" you will secure au- thentic information and practical advice on the foods you should eat. The next article in the series will deal with minerals in the diet.

At-Toronto, April 13th, death, the grim reaper, again called one of our young people in the person of William Eric' (Billy), younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey S. Robinson, of Toronto, formerly of Marvelville. The little lad had just passed his tenth birthday and was in his usual good health. On April 6th he was stricken with acute appendicitis and rushed to the hospital where he was immediately operated upon but it was found that peritonitis had set in, and all that medical aid could do was of no avail, and he passed to the Great Beyond on April 13th. He was a very bright, cheerful lad, dearly beloved by all who knew him. The great profusion of flowers, and the many svmpathetic friends showed the high esteem in which he and his parents are held in that part of the city. He leaves to mourn, besides his parents, one brother Harvey, and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Nickle, of Montreal, and Mrs. Jas. Robinson, of Marvelville. The funeral was held from his father's residence on April 16th at 2.00 p.m., conducted by Rev. Wash- ington, assisted by Rev. Young, of Fairlawn United Church. The pallbearers were his uncles, Messrs. John Mills, of Toronto; H. OC. Robinson and Wm. J, Robinson, of Marvelville; Wm. Jackson, James Joyce and Fred Plummer, of To- ronto. Interment was made in Pros- pect Cemetery, Toronto. The "stork" again paid a visit to the Dionne family at Callander, Ont. when Mrs. O. Dionne, mother of the world-famous quintuplets, gave birth to a fine 7% pound son. | Do NOW!
