a . creameries to THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1938 News and Info rmation for the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Wintering the Brood Sow ? The brood sow deserves her fair share of winter accommodation. A pen that is well bedded, dry and free from draughts is essential. Place the feed trough some distance away so that she is forced to exer- cise outdoors daily. [Eradicate lice and round worms; there is no mar- ket for them. Feed a mixture of grains to maintain the sow in fair flesh, but use barley sparingly un- less the sow is very thin. 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. Poultry Production The value of poultry and egg 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 rise in prices of poul- try products from the low point of the depression has been of very li- mited proportions, and very much less than in the case of most other agricultural products. Poultry pro- ducers 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. Ontario shipped this year large quantities of live poultry to the United States mar- kets and also considerable -quan~ tities of dressed poultry to the Unit- ed Kingdom. Fruit Crop Value Up Although prices received by grow- ers for fruit crops generally showed a decline from last year, the total value of commercical fruit produec- tion in 1937 will show a moderate gain as the yield of all fruit crops, with the exception of cherries and pears, was higher this season. Plantings of all tree fruits were again made on a heavy scale, but grape vine plantings declined to the lowest level in years. Exports of apples from Ontario to the United Kingdom have been Iconsiderably greater than in 1936 and up to the present time shipments have been approximately double those of a year ago. [Export prices have been fair. The United Kingdom crop was much lighter than last year, but substantially heavier im- ports from both Canada and ithe United States have kept prices down Spys were an exceptionally light yielding variety this season and there is a shortage on domestic mar- kets. Storage supplies of apples are reported considerably in excess of holdings at this same date a year ago. y Dairy Products Prices of butter and cheese were consistently higher during 1937 and the total value of dairy proudcts is expected to amount to about $97.- 000,000 as against $91,000,000 in 1936. Production of creamery but- ter in the first 11 months, as com- pared with the same period of last vear, declined from 81,106,000 Ibs. to 75,809.000 pounds representing a decrease of 6.5 per cent., and due chiefly to the diversion of milk from cheese factories and evaporated milk plants. The output of cheese, on the other hand, rose from 85,991,000 pounds to 91,353, 000 pounds for a gain of 6.2 per cent., and exports of this commodity to the United Kingdom were con- "are higher Department of Agriculture) about 2.5 cents per pound more than a year ago and cheese prices about | 1.2 cents greater. The quantity of milk purchased by concentrated milk plants shows a substantial rise ow- ing to a keen domestic and export demand for manufactured products, the output of which has increased by approximately 35 per cent. Prices to | producers for fluid milk were gener- | ally continued at about the same level as in 1936 until November, when an upward revision was made in the Toronto milk-shed. Feeding Brood Mares To properly care for brood mares during the winter months, it must be understood that they should be given mild exercise each day but deep snow and the hauling of heavy loads should be avoided. It is par- ticularly important foal are not allowed to be idle dur- ing the winter months, as they usu- ally produce weak foals-- no mat- ter how they may be fed. A brood mare's ration may be made up of a variety of feeds, how- ever it's essential 'that it be nutri- tious and contain a generous supply of protein and minerals. A good grade of mixed hay, oats and bran will supply all the necessaty re- quirements. A few roots fed daily will also prove beneficial. The amount of hay and grain to be fed daily will depend upon the size of the mare, her condition and the type of work she is doing. Naturally the more she is required to do--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 con- tains one-half bran for a week or more after the foal is dropped. By so doing, complications such as an oversupply of milk or indigestion are usually avoided. When mares are thin at foaling time, light feed- ing should onlv be cogtinued for a few days. In such cases, the feed is usually 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 require liberal feed- ing, if they are to be kept in good flesh and provide a generous supply of milk for the foals. Winter Brooding of Chicks The poultryman with 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 hatchability of eggs is being controlled by the feed. Janu- ary chicks will cost more as eggs 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 will catch a and mortality; broilers high market, and pullets should be laying early in the fall or even in late summer when egg prices are at their peak. Of course, if many started hatching all their chicks in January the higher prices for broil ers and eggs would be wiped out,; and chicks hatched at some other season would find the best market. Brooder houses unsuited for pro- longed zero weather and the higher price for chicks will limit the num- siderably higher. Wholesale prices of butter to date have averaged ber going in for January chicks. that mares in| METCALFE Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Caskey are spending Christmas week at Madoc and Tweed. Mr. and Mrs. S.

There are several fetors which should be given atten- tion. First, there is the matter of having more fire than necessary when the weather is mild. Do not start a fire in the furnace too early in the autumn nor keep the furnace going too late in the spring. Have a fire in the stove, or fireplace for a few hours in the morning and even- mg. Before cold weather comes, see that the house is weather tight. Do not try to heat all outdoors: Pack the cracks around doors and windows with felt weather stripping or wood laths. See that the cellar has no holes which admit air. Use «double windows and doors if neces- sary. There is a layer of air be- tween the two windows or doors which acts as an insulation to shut out the cold. : : A cellar is.a protection against cold floors. If there is no cellar, have a double floor with plaster, ««« STOPPED IN A MINUTE... Are you tormented with the itching tortures of eczema, rashes, athlete's foot, eruptions, or other skin afflictions? For quick and happy relief, use cooling, antiseptic, liquid D. D. Iption. Its gentle oils soothe the irri- tated skin. Clear, gr 1 and stainl | require a hot fire to keep wall-board or insulating paper be- tween them. Inspect your basement windows to see if they admit cold air. Look into your attic. Dead air in the attic will prevent the loss of heat. Do not let a current of air through the attic drain off heat from the house. To lock the windows when closed, to draw toe curtains on a cold night and to close the draft of the fire- place will all help to conserve the heat of the rooms. When the wea- ther is cold, the rush of outdoor air into warm rooms is greater than in mild weather and one can have good ventilation with smaller openings and in a shorter time. To get the heat into the livirg rooms and not waste it in the base- ment, cover the warm air ducts or steam or hot water pipes with insu- lating paper. Study your furnace to be certain that you are operating it efficienily. If your local dealer cannot explain it to you, write to the manufacturer for suggestions. Most makers of heating systems have an efficiency engineer for this purpose. There is a difference in the type and size of fuel. Small coal burns quickly and makes a hot fire, but 'soon turns to ashes and packs on the grate, shut- ting off the draft. Large coal may it burn- ing.
