A considerable section â- eport dealt with the unfavor*-, rtising methods of the de- of which Hon. \V. U.

Why should such a valuable document be censored ? WTjy should a department head be al- lowed to delete a single item from a report by a commission which has studied the ppoblem ? If for political reasons it has been forced out of pub- lication it is about time that our I'jgislators should rise above party strife and work for the interests of the primary producers of Canada, rather than attempting to make their own political nests safe. If they have spent money foolishly they .should be told about it and a more efficient sys- tem then worked out, following the recommendations. Some of these little politicians at Ottawa are unable to see over their noses when looking at ^ny- thhig^-oth^r than cheap political ad- vantage that may accrue from their dickerings. Nothing should stand in the way of improving Canadian trade with the British Isles and a Cabinet Ministsr should be big enough to pro- fit from any mistaki-s he may havo made. Let us stop it Do your sharel Our schools are already setting our youth and public a good example with the teaching of music in the schools. There is food for thought in the above article that might be seriously con- sidered. EDITORIAL NOTES A gentleman left a pair of skates in this office for sale, which we adver- tised in our last issue. The ink was scarcely dry on the paper when a sale was made. Our advertising columns are at your disposal if you have any- thing to sell or buy. • • • Our daily papers are now making their readers dip down into their pockets "until it hurts," same as our taxes. With the first of the year all the Toronto dailies jumped to seven dollars a year. This means, of course, that many subscribers who cannot afford to pay so much will be obliged to forego the luxury of a daily paper. • • • With the new Canadian Broadcast- ing Company station in operatiori we are now commencing to have some returns for the huge am ounts of money expended the past few years by the past Radio Commission, for which no return could be seen. We have been weaned away from that wave length from a Toronto station for so long with the indistinct recep- tion that we have not yet been edu- cated to the point of listening to th* various programs as we wei-e with the other Toronto station CFRB. We hope that the standard of programs will now rise with such a good station on the air, as in the past the airways have been cluttered with a motley of noise that was not a credit to any station. • • • In the past The Advance has had occasion to severly critcise the Can- adian Broadcasting Commission for the very poor service it had been rendering its patrons, and for the price charged for something so un- satisfactory that this Toronto station was rarely used at Flesherton, 85 miles away. The story is vastly difT- ennt now. The price of radio licenses News and Information for the Farmer WlntcTlng the Hrood How The brood »ow deserves her fair share of winter accommodation.

Provide clover or alfalfa hay to be eaten at will. Be kind to the sow, but not "too kind," or weak, unthrifty pigs will result. 'I.AVKD WIU)\(; IN.STItl MENT The following tditorial was taken from Ktude magazine and deals with the problem of the dfliiiquincy of boys, which is a pressing proldeni in many places today: "The trouble with your boy," said the judge, "is that he played the wrong instrument. If, instead of lett- ing him waste his tinu' and money playing the nickel in the slot gambling machines in billiard rooms and dance halls, you had had hitn learn to play the piano, the violin, the trombone oi some other instrument, he might have kept away fiom had company and he would not now be facing a two yi'ar sentence in the penitentiary." "That hurts, Judge," said the fath- er; "his mother wanted me to give him music lessons, hut somehow I thought it was sissy for a boy, and again I guess I was too mean to lay out the money. .Judge, isn't there something that can be done, he's only Kev<Miteen 7" "Well,"' said the .Judge, "I could i)ut him under parole. He looks as though he had good stutf in him; and I will «lo it under one condition, and that is that you buy him the best instniment you can afford and get him a fine teacher and arrange to have luni conn to my home once a inonlh and let me judge how hard In- is working at his music. You see, I was l)i-ought up with music in my home, and I know what it means.'' This story was told us by a band conductor who refused to have his identit.v ri'vealed. This miicli we {hi know, boys and girl.'! who are deeply engrossed in music study have not the time for dangerous nonsense. As Cervantes puts it, "Where there is music there is no mischief." Kvon in pri.sons, experts have found that those who play in the band or the orchestra «fTer far fewer disciplinary problems than those without the.se privileges. Millions and millions of dollars are uppnt each year upon the manufacture of gambling slot machines, which, like all gambling devices, prove danger- ously attractive to youth. They are the kindergartens of vice. A fraction of their cost spent upon music and musical instruments would reduce the potential prison population of to- morrow very greatly. The reason why such machines exist is that parents fail to do anything to counteract them. Our prisons are filled with young men and young women, many of whom are there because of the neglect of their pn rents, just as though the parents had led the youths to the prison gales ns a kind of human snorfficp in this "age of don't care." Ponltrj- Production The value of poultry and eigg pro- duction during 1937 does not show much change from 1936. Egg prices averaged fractionally lower than last year, but poultry prices were a shade higher. It Is Interesting to note that the rls© In prices of poultry products from the low point of the depression has been of very limited proportions, and very much less than in the case of most other agricultural products. Poultry iproducers were handicapped during the greater part of 1937 on account of high grain prices, but since harvest production costs have declined with lower feed prices. On- tario shipped this year largo quant- ities of live poultry to the United States markets and also considerable quantities of dressed poultry to the llnltod Kingdom. ♦^^♦'^♦♦♦♦•^♦♦♦♦♦♦^♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦'^♦♦♦^ T T T T t t T T t T T T T T r T T ?

Crop Value Vp Although prices received by grow- ers for fruit crops generally showed a decline from last year, the total value of commercial fruit produc- tion In 19 37 win show a moderate gain as the yield of all fruit crops, with the exception of cherries and pears, was higher this season. I^luui- Ings of all tree fruits were again made on a heavy scale, hut grape vino plantings declined to tUe low- est level in years. Bxportj of apples from Ontario to the United Kingdom have be(!n considerably greater than in 1936, and up to the present ship- ments have been apTjroxImately dou- ble those of a year ago. Export prices have been fair. The United Kingdom crop was much lighter than last vear, but substantially heavier still remains at two dollars, but the' imports from both Canada and the sei-vice now rendered since this new 1 United States havo kept prices down .50,000 watt station was tuned in on Christmas day makes the price quite bearable, because the Commission is providing first-class entertainment and worth-while educational programs of distinctly Canadian origin, brought us from Nova Scotia to Vancouvelr. Perhaps radio owners are not thank- ful for this improvement! Live Stock Report Although supplies of cattle were very light for the opening market of th« year on Monday, the trade was very slow on choice heavy steers and butcher cattle, while cows and bulls hekl active and strong. A few e.Ktra fancy steers were boiiglit for exi)ort at from G.OO to G.2,5, but the bulk of the good to choice ranged from 5.50 to G.OO; fair to good from 4.75 to 5.50. Choice butcher cattle sold at from 6.00 to 5.50, with a few fancy up to G.OO; fair to good from 4.5() to 5.00; common to medium •i.5() to 4.25. A few choice baby beeves sold at from 7.00 to H.OO, witii those of medium i|uality from 5.50 to G.50. .Stockers and feeders were very slow of sale. The cow trade was strong md fioin lOc to 15c higher, choice liutcher cows selling from 4.25 to 4. Go, with nice light heifery cows from 4.75 lo 5.00; fair to good from ;!..")0 to 4.00; common to medium 2.75 to 11.25; can- ners and cutters 2.00 to 2.50. The Inill trade was strong, choice light butcher bulls from 4.25 to 4.75; fat heavy bulla fi'om 4.00 to 4.25 and iKiivy bidognas fi'om :i.50 to ;i.75. Supplies of lambs were very light and prices were steady, good to choice ewes selling from 7.75 to 8.00. Choice butcher sheep from 4.00 to 4.50. The calf market was strong, <lue to a good â- 'xport demand, choice from 10.50 to 11.00; fair to good from 9.00 to 10.00; common to medium 7.00 to 8.00. Following last week's advance in hog prices, the market was slow but (m account of light supplies, prices held steady, truck deliveries selling at H.75, However, the prospects for the lialattce of the week are uncertain and more than likely prices will work lower, as reports from the United Kingdom are not very encouraging and buyers state they cannot pay these prices for the present outlet. The United Sta»<'s government is providing sixty squirrel houses at Washington. Tl likely feels that there is no need to furnish nuts. .Spys were an exceptionally light yielding variety this season and there Is a shortage on domestic markets. Storage supplies of apples are re- liorted considerably In excess of holdings at this same- date a year ago. is required to do â€" the larger the daily grain ration. Young mares that have not completed their growth must be fed quite liberally. After the foal Is born, drinking water with the chill taken off Is given to the mare. The mare's first feed after foaling Is always a warm bran mash and the grain ration contains one-half ibran for a week or more aftp.r the foal is dropped. By so do- ing, complications such as an over- supply of milk or Indigestion are u.tually avoided. When mares are j'liiii i!t foaling time, light feeding c::r..:!i1 Tily be continued for a few days. In sui^h rases, the feed is us- ually increased gradually In order to Insure a good supply of milk for the foal. Mares that are required to work while nursing their foals will retiulre liberal feeding, if they are to be kept in good fleeh and pro- vide a generous supply of milk for the foals. Winter nroo<ling of Chlck.s The poultryman with the proper equipment can handle chicks In mid- winter with as little mortality as with April chicks. He may not get as high percentage hatch as later on, but even the hatchabillty of eggs Is being controlled by the feed. Janu- ary chicks will cost more as eggs are higher priced to start with. Then it will take more fuel than with spring brooding. But there is more time for looking after the chicks; there may be less disease and mortality; broilers will catch a high market, and pullets should be laying early in the fall or even in late summer when »gg prices are at their pea'i. Of course. If many started hatching all their chicks In January the highe'r ' prices for broilers and eg^s would be wiped out, and chicks hatched at some other season would find the best market. Brooder houses un- sulted for prolonged zero weather and the higher price for chicks will limit the number going in for Janu- ary chicks. Nevertheless there should be good returns for the few who do, and they can prolong the use of their equipment, as those who have Jan- uary chicks usually have another batch in the spring so as to have pullets coming Into production at different seasons. January chicks will go on to range early in the sea- son, or they may be raised Indoors until ready for the laying pen. LICENSES FOR SALE -nmercial, Passenger and Trailer Licenses J. W. ELLIOTT Markdale Dairy Products Prices of butter and ch(M»e were consistently higher during 1937 and the total value of dairy products Is expected to amount to about $97,- 000,000 as against $91, 000,00* In 193G. Production of creamery but- ter In the first 11 months, as com- pared with thi» same period of last year, declined from 81,106.000 lbs. to 7r., 809, 000 lbs., representing a de- crease of 6.5 per cent., and due chiefly to the diversion of milk from creameries to cheese factories and evaporated milk plants. The out- put of cheese, on the other hand, rose from S5. 991, 000 Itis. to 91,353,000 lbs. for a gain of (i,2 per cent., and exports of this commodily to the |-iilted Kingdom wi^re conslde.rahly highor. Wholesale prices of butter to date havo averaged about 2.5 cents per pound more than a year ago and cheese prices about 1.2 cents Kieater. The quantity of milk pnr- clinsed by concentrated milk plants sliows a substantial riso owing to a keen domestic and export demand for manufactured products, the out- put of which has Increased by ap- priixlmately 35 per cent. Prices to producers for fluid milk were gen- erally conllnutyl at aibout the same level as In 1936 until November, wlien an upward revision was made In the Toronto milk-shed. The Advance offers for Renewals or New Readers Fi'eding Hrood Mures To properly I'are for brood mares iliirliig the winter months, II must he understood that they should be given mild exercise each day but deep snow and the hauling of heavy loads should bo avoided. It is par- ticularly Important that mares In foal are not allov/ed to be Idle dur- ing tho winter months, as they us- ually produce weak foals â€" no mat- ter how they may be fed. A hrood mare's ration may be made up of a variety of feeds, how- ever, It Is essential that It be nutri- tions and contain a generous supply of protein and minerals. A good grade of mixed hay, oata and bran will supply all tho necessary require- ments. A few roots fed dally will also prove beneficial. The amount of hay and grain to be fed dally will dejiend upon the size of the mare, her condition and tho type of work she Is doing.
