No job will pay the farmer betâ€" ter right now than the cutting and burning of weeds, says Mr. Macâ€" Leod. It will save him a lot of worry and work next year. when labor will probably be as scearce as it was this year. Speaking of weeds, Mr. MacLeod says now is a good time to mow, rake up, and burn weeds. This is particularly true of Wild Carrot and Ragweed. These weeds have been cut at least once on most farms, but have stooled out again and should be cut and burned. | The Bacon Board states that the |price now in effect of $19.60 per 100 ipounds for A Grade No. 1 sizeable Wiltshires will continue until the ‘completion of the purchase of ©425,000,000 pounds of bacon, the |amount called for under the preâ€" |sent agreement of which about |40,000,000 pounds has yet to be; In _ Mr. MacLeod‘s opinion, growers would be well advised to sow some extra rye for seed purâ€" poses. He points out that there will likely be a greatly increased demand for rye for pastures and that many farmers could grow their own seed for another year. There is an ample supply of good seed for fall wheat, but rye is not so plentiful, advises John D. Macâ€" Leod, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, Torâ€" onto. Farmers who have not yet procured their seed requirements should get in touch with the secreâ€" tary of the Ontario Crop Improveâ€" ment Association in their county. There is a branch of the Associa-‘ tion in every county and several branches in Northern Ontario. ; | Since the announcement WAS peets |made recently by Hon.

Broken weather during the harvest season is an opportune time to undertake such tasks. As a further precaution against disease, the poultry house should \be given a thorough cleaning in the autumn. The equipment in the pens, also the walls, should be scrubbed with hot water and lye.

If guards are placed over hive entrances to nrevent mice from entering, they should fit so snugly that the mice will be unable to move them. A timely reminder comes from the Dominion Apiarist that the three essential factors for successâ€" ful wintering of bees to be borne in mind are strong colonics consisting mainly of young bees, plenty of wholesome stores for the winter, and adequate protection from: the cold. With regard to the last facâ€" tor he urges beekeepers to make ar early decision in protecting the bees whether they are in cellars or in packing cases outside. The cellar should be fairly dry, dark at all times, well ventilated, well inâ€" sulated against outside temperaâ€" tures and maintained at an even temperature of about 48 degrees F.
