It loc;l;sas though Mr. Gordon had spoken a little out of turn. Perhaps the Government will now announce whether Mr. Gordon‘s attitude is that of Ottawa. prise News to men who love trees more than money. Last week we published a story of the generosity of a Puslinch farmer who in order that the bush on his farm, once valued at some $11,000.00 may be preserved for posterity and not slashed down for profit by ruthless speculators, presented the land to the Wellington County Council. In the daily press last week we came across a story from Montreal of a somewhat similar character. It told how a Montreal man, because he loves trees, purchased two vacant lots for which he had no need at all, and paid for them $1,750. The lots were owned by the city and on them are some very fine trees. The city began to fell the trees to make space for snow dumping this winter. The Montreal man in question who saw the folly of such action purchased the lots because protests from himself and others were of no avail. Men who love trees enough to take such action are loyal to their country in a very practical way. "Won‘t you let me take you ladies home?

G. Tayâ€" lor, Poultry Division, Central Exâ€" perimental Farm, Ottawa. The term fattening is applied to the finishing or conditioning of pcultry for market and yet the housewife does not buy a bird beâ€" cause of the fat it contains. What is wanted is abundant flesh and a little fat. Fat enough to cook the bird is all that is required. Excess fat boils out and is the expensive part of the turkey. How then can turkeys be conditioned for the Christmas trade so that they will have a maximum of fiesh and litâ€" tle fat? â€" s The answer is found in the me-‘ thod ‘of feeding practised on the modern turkey farm of toâ€"day. The practice of rearing turkeys has changed very considerably during the last ten years Turkey growâ€" ers are now confining the growing birds to limited quarters (on wire or on range) and keeping proper fceds before the birds constantly so that the &)oult or growing turkey is in good flesh at all times. The bird does not have to wander far and wide to find food enough for its daily needs and uses the food which has been supplied to grow frame and muscle. Young turkeys are usually startâ€" ed on turkey starter mash for six to eight weeks, then changed to turkey growing mash and mixed grain and fed these feeds until market age. The mash and grain are fed in separate feed hoppers. As these hoppers are selfâ€"feeding the birds eat what they require at leisure. In this way they are never hungry and seldom eat a full meal at any time. As the weather gets colder in the fall the birds eat a greater proportion of grain than mash and consumption increases. Variety always aids in inducing \‘l'a been asked to get married cwelve timesâ€"all by my father!" the turkeys to increase the intake of feed and from about the middle of October, when the supply of grain feed is getting scarce, is a good time to add any extra feeding which may be desired.

To keep the birds with good appetites, they should be fed slightly Lfle&s than they will eat up clean at each feeding. give them a light feed of whole corn just before they go to roost at night, says Mr. Taylor. Make sure that the corn is dry and freed from mould, he says, warning that new corn should be fed sparingly at first and particularly so unless it has been well ripened. As the weaâ€" ther becomes colder the intake of food will increase and the amount® of corn can also be increased for the evening feeding. _ About three weeks before the birds are to be killed for market, mw;wéi",mgvrit and shell should alâ€" ways be before the birds. » BRITAIN‘S LEAD IN FARM MECHANIZATION LONDON.â€"Today British agriâ€" culture is the most highly mechanâ€" ized in the world with more than two tractors to every square mile of territory and seven tractors to every square mile of arable land. One important feature of this warâ€" time development has ‘been the stress laid on the mechanization of small holdings. The National Instiâ€" tute of A'frlcultural Enginecring has recently been demonstrating farming equipment which included machines specially adapted for use on small farms. The demonstraâ€" tions covered machines for sugar beet, harvesting, grain harvesting, drying and handling, and plows and cultivators. Machinery exhibâ€" ited included new types of potato diggers, sugar beet drills, binders and harvesters. The Institute has recorded many advances in the use of plows, harvesters and cultiâ€" vators. To take one examâ€" ple, up to now farmers using comâ€" bine harvesters have experienced difficulty in plowing in straw which tends to wedge under ordiâ€" nary coulters. To obviate this hanâ€" dicap the Institute has developed a corrugated disc coulter which by continuously rotating easily works in straw and long stubble.

THE ROYAE BANK OF, CANADA A long time since he said goodbye to his wife and infont son...a long time since he tramped the woods . .: caught the car at the corner... was called "Mister". Stgn your name to Vietony! In the first official estimate of grain production in Canada for 1945, wheat is placed at 321,409,000 bushels as compared with 435,535,â€" 000 bushels in 1944. When this new crop is combined with the estimâ€" ated carryover at July 31 of about 258 million bushels, it gives a total available supply of 580 million buâ€" shels, which is about 212 million bushels less than in 1944â€"45, and the smallest total supply since 1938. If exports during the current year are maintained at the 1944â€"45 high level of 350 million bushels, the yearâ€"end stocks in 1946 would be about 70 million bushels. The exâ€" ports for 1944â€"45 were the highest since 1929 and their maintenance during 1945â€"46 at that level is open ‘to conjecture, says the Monthly Review of the Wheat Situation. wMHEAT STTUATION up with their successful return to civil life.

ANOTHER DISEASE LONDON. â€" United Kingdom scientists have found a remedy for scrub typhusâ€"one of the most disâ€" abling diseases of the Far East, reâ€" ports the Manchester Guardian. For some time experiments have been carried out by a team of docâ€" tors and research scientists at the London Laboratories of the British Medical Research Council Last March they succeeded in producing an effective vaccine. The United Kingdom War Office immediately ordered the organization of large scale production of vaccine which was taken up in a "secret" governâ€" ment factory in a country district of Southeast England. Thousands of Allied troops were incculated, and it is estimated that a large number of lives were saved.
