vnar't^ February 27th, 1924 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE High School Notesj The mid-winter examinations are being held this week. Reports 'will be sent to the parents as soon as poss- ible. « Rope splicinfr, milk testing and an illustrated lix-ture on "Cullinj? hens" will be the program on Friday at 7.30 p.m. Anyone wishing to learn irope splicing is asked to bring rope. A milk testing association is being organized and already ten members have joined. Each member agrees to weigh the milk from each cow en- tered for one day at least once per mor.th. The milk will be tested for fj>t production ut least twice during the year. At the end of the time u very close estimate can be made re- Srarding the butter fat produced by each cow. When one man raised his I)roduction j)oi' cow from 5500 lbs. to 12500 in eight years by this method there is reason to believe that testing pays. Master Donald McLcod, who went to Toronto tv.-o weeks ago to be oper- ated on for npendicitis, is, we are glad to learn, progressing favorably. Th«re will be a double-header hock- ey match on Thursday, March 6th, when Flesherton Juniors will play Markdale high school, and Flesherton high school girls will play Markdale high school girls. WE HAVE THE WARDEN For over a month now we have had livin;^ with us the Warden of Grey County, iiiid the present Reeve of Fleshert.in. We draw this to the at- tention of our fellow citizens, as we presuini; thi;t the announcement of his rise ti this position had escaped their notice. A banquet in honor of our Warden is about the least that could be done, considering that it is not very often that such an honor comes to a village. Don't delay any longer but get together at once and decide on what form of recognition should be given.

This is sure to be very interesting. The game is played with a football and with ordinary boots on the pedal end of the contestants. We haven't a doubt in our mind but that the boys will be trimmed to a frazzle in this game. Even if the girls can't score they can bunch in front of the net and help keep the ball out. This winter has seen a great revival of sports among the people of town. Snow Shoeing, skiing, toboganning and skating have their enthusiasts and with the benefit of the hills a hil- arious time is had by all.' There is no better way to secure health as out- door exercise, besides enjoying the thrills of these sports. W. L. Wright, Flesherton Ont.

Last week they eliminated the Uni- versity of Toronto Juniors, the best the Queen City could produce, by trimming them eleven goals in the round. Right now the Grey Juniors are considered the best for Dominion honors, and it is the wish of their host of friends that their hopes will not be disappointed. Markdale and Flesherton Interme- diates came together on the ice here Tuesday evening and when they sepa- rated the score stood 5-4 in favor of the home team.

No. 21 Was Then De- veloped From the Mandscbeurl, From Russia â€" Started From n Single Seed at Oaelpb iu 1008 â€" Feeding for Bacon. (Contributed by Ontario Department ot Agriculture, Tovonta) The O.A.C. No. 21 barley has been sue]) a marked success in Canada that a few words regarding Its ori- gin and development may be of in- terest to the many larmers growing that grain. A World Search for tbe Best Barley. During tno year 1888 the Field Husbandry Department of the On- tario Agricultural College made a world search for the best variety of barley in existence. In the spriue ot lhS9, fifty-seven different kinds of bailey weru grown under test. A variety from Russia, under the name ot Mmidscheuri, gave such good re- sults lu tho first and following tests, surpjissing ail other varieties in a live year average by five bushels per acre per annum, that it was multl- fiUeO for distribution, la 1892 'this variety, Jlandscheiiri, was distributed in pound lots to co-operative experi- menters throughout Ontario and was continued in co-operative test for each of cigliteea years. It gave such good returns that from tho pound lots sent to tho farmers tliia barley Vv'as rapidly mcreaatd until It became the most extensively grown barley of the inovince. Tlic Mandsciienri a Great Mother Viiiiety. Ill ilie spring of 1&03 between nine and ten tliou-'iaud eelected grains of the .Mundstlieuri barley were plantad by iKin'l, at equal distances apart in tho experimental grounds. This method gave an opportunity tor each plant to show its individuality. At dilfereut stages' ot growth and vvhen ripe tlie plants were carefully ex- amined, and the most promising ones were selected and threshed, after which the grain from the individual plants was examined. A definite number of grains from each of the selectd plants were sown separately lu tho spring of 1904. The best per- formers, iu decreasing numbers, v.-1're continued in the tests from year to year. Tho plant selected by the writer in 190 3 as probably the most outstanding individual was included in the seeding list as number 21, and the progeny gave such excellent re- sults that it was introduced into the co-operative experiments in the spring of 1906 where it has been in- cluded continually since that date under the name ot O.A.C. No. 21. It gave such good satisfaction through- out Ontario that the farmers in- creased it rapidly and for the last tew years there has been scarcely a field of any other variety ot barley grown in the province. Started From a Single Seed in 1008. The O.A.C. No. 21 barley, which was started from a single seed in 1903 is a six-rowed, bearded barley I with stiff straw and white grain of good quality. In the experiments at the College the common six-rowed variety of barley has been surpassed by the Mandscheurl in a period of thirty-three years by an average yield per acre per annum ot ten bushels, and by the O.A.C. No. 21, in a period of seventeen years by eleven bushels. According to re- ports of the Statistics Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, the barley crop ot Ontario has made an actual Increase in yield per acre for tho last twenty-one years, in com- purison with the two previous de- cades ot 17.33 per cent., or an average yield per acre per annum ot tour and one-half bushels. â€" Department of Ex- tension.

Leave Litters With Sows for Eight Weeks â€" Selection as Important as llreed â€" Pi-ocui-e Sod for Feed in Winter. At tho Ontario Agriculture Col- lege all Utters are left with the sows until they are eight weeks old. Skim milk and middlings are the most sat- isfactory feeds on which to start the newly weaned pigs. Katious are made up with the idea of promoting growth during tho Urst four mouths by using growth promoting rather than fattening feeds until tho pigs are tlve months old. Middlings, oats, milk, whey, tankage and clover are protein feeds and capable of building bono and muscle. When the pigs are well grown at Hve months old the ration Is changed tor the flnlshlng or fattet:ing period. Two-thirds barley and oud-third finely ground oats along with skim milk has been highly satisfactory. Tankage up to^S or 10 per cent, has been successfully and profitably used when skim milk was not available. In the experimental feeding with Bwiue at the Ontario Agricultural Collugc it baa been found that there is but very little difference in the cost of gains with the various breeds, but there is a ditference In tbe grade of product, which means more money for thi kind that grade "seleot." Four hundred pounds of meal or Its equivalent produced one hundred pounds of gain in weight for tour breeds in the test. In cbeapuees of gain the bacon breeds fully held their own. Before It freezes up store a wag- gon load or two of good, tough, green sods away In the barn cellar, pit or shed. Such will be very useful to toss into the pig pens now and agaia during the winter months. The pigs need mineral matter and this is an easy, cheap and efBclent way to give it to them. â€" Department ot Eltcn- plon. O.A. College, Guelph.
