News and Information for The Busy Farmer ( -5" CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING Co-operatives grow not simply by an increase in membership, but more surely by an increase in the loyalty of the members. Not ne- cessarily according to the number of cars, or tons, or dollars hand- led, but according to the extent the business aids in improving the con- dition of each member. Not by an increase in quantity, but constant- ly by an increase in the quality of the marketable product of the individual. Not by spurts cf evan- gelism which brings groups of v.n certain minds into the field at one time, but by constant missionary work which brings into membership, one by one, those sober thinking, yet perhaps conservative and in- dividualistic producers who, once convinced of the value of co-opera- tion remain loyal to the end. MILK-TESTING PAYS There is sound common sease In the suggestion of a fanner keep- ing five good cows in place of fif- teen "just cows.'' Thee case is cited of a farmer who tired of the worK entailed by keeping fifteen cows and who reduced his herd 'o five "good ones." The surprising thing was that the net returns from the five were greater than they had been from the fifteen. This should prove conclusively the value in the use of weeding out the p.on-paytng members of tho he.J by milk-test ing. The local department of agri- culture stands ready at all times to advise the larnier in these mat- ters. Hon. Jchn S .Martin. Minister of Ag-ieulture. will accompany Pre- mier Ferguson t<i London. England, rext summer to open the new On- *ario Government building there. About 30.000 to"s of hay have been recently exported from East- ern Ontario and Quebec to Great Britain. The 1929 exports of hay from Canada a e greatly in excess of those in the previous year. NEW HOG GRADING RULES The new hog-grading laws came into effect last September have resulted in some confusion amcng the less well informed breed- ers and shippers. The new qualifi- cations are as follows: Hogs shal: be divided into two classes, the ba- con hogs and the non-bacon hogs, the bacon class is divided into two classes, the "selects" and "bacon.'' The standard for the- select grade is the same except that the mini- mum weight is now set at 100 Ibs. weighed off car. The second grade of bacon hogs or '-bacons" must weigh from 170 to 220 pounds off car. The first grade of the non- bacon class is known as "butchers"' and its weight range _-uns from 15C ta 230 pounds weighed off car. Ah hogs 01 smooth fleshing and fin- ish not conforming to bacon stand ard are included n this class. The old shop grade has been entirely removed and hogs under 150 las. are known as ''lights" or " feeders' and requirements for killers are filled from the feeder grade. WATER FOR COWS Cows pnx-lucin": large aioun'.s jof milk require large amounts of water as well as feed. It makes up seven pints of every gallon of milk produced snd is necessary for al! life processes. It is raid that of every 100 pounds of milk produced, there u contained, en an average. 87 pounds of water. The cow re- quires 500 pounds of water incluO- ing that in the feed, for every 100 pcumds of milk produced. Good cows should be supplied 12 gallons or more of water per day. and should have access "o it at least twice a day. This supply need not be warmer than 45 degrees if avail- able at all times, but if only sup- plied twice a day it should be warmed to 65 degrees or above. An abundant supply of water will prevent digestive troubles and as- sist in the production of the maxi- mum quantity of milk. PR6TON STATION Rev. H. B.
