leaves the same thing is true of onions and other vegetables with smooth leaves stickers that can be added to spray mixtures largely solve the problem one of the best is resin fishoil soap used at tho rate of two ounces to each three gallons of spray in case this cannot be obtained a resin sticker can be used instead tho resin adhesive is prepared by mixing eight ounces of pulverized fesin four ounces of sal soda and a quart of water this should be boiled for about one hour or until the solu tion is a clear brown one ounce of this sticker should be used with each three gallons of spraying solu tion sprays should be applied immediate ly after adding the sticker to the solu tion protect the garden crops cut worms will soon be at their de structive work one worm may cut off several plants

times in british columbia he continued where tho coal is of good quality are enormous deposits which can easily and cheaply be developed as soon as the demand arises there are of course two outstanding con siderations the question of capital for development and the persuasion of workers to emigrate but these really go handinhand and are not insur mountable i suggest that the mil lions

objections to the breed in the colder climates this article is written at the manitoba agricultural college many poultrymen have resorted to dubbing or cutting off the combs of their male birds early in the fall to avoid set backs following frozen combs during zero weather singlecomb white leghorn pullets will get their combs touched by frost during zero weather if they are in heavy laying unless the house is kept warm this is almost impossible on the ordinary farm so the poultryman may run into a piece of hard luck in low egg production when eggs are highest in price the dubbing of pullets will very largely eliminate the sudden drop in egg production in a cold spell nothing cuts down egg production quicker and harder than frozen combs and a flock in heavy laying will be a long time in coming baek into high production after the weather becomes milder not so the dubbed pullets they may show a decrease in egg yield but it will be gradual and will not fall nearly so low as with the undubbed birds there are threo periods of a leg horn pullets life at which dubbing can be performed the first is at hatch ing time when the chicks are put in the brooder the second at two months of age the- third at or near maturity the objections to the first are that both males and females would have to be dubbed which would make double the work at this age one has to be very careful to cut off every speck of the tiny comb the least speck loft at the back of tho comb will show as a large spike when the bird is mature it is almost impossible to do the job right at this age dubbing at or near maturity gives the pullet more of a setback in bleed ing than at any other time but the operation can be performed neatly and successfully the best age however is at two months or just when the birds are old enough to tell the cockerels from the pullets at this age the comb is still quite small but yet large enough to permit of making a clean smooth cut and getting every bit of it the birds receive no setback whatever and there is only slight bleeding applying caustic to the cut on the baby chick helps to burn off any part of the comb that might be missed but even then the job will not be so neat as at the older age bleeding is gen erally quite profuse when dubbing is done at or near maturity which may bo stopped by searing or by dropping hot paraffin from a lighted candle on the wound as to the humaneness of the opera tion we believe that the pain of dub bing at two months of age is nothing compared to that of a frozen comb the best instrument is a pair of sharp embroilery

industry has gone ahead by leaps and bounds and in the backtotheland discussions among tho urban population the poul try industry is one of the phases of agriculture most favorably considered high prices have been maintained in spite of the fact that egg production in canada has increased by over ono hundred million dozens or seventy per centsince 1920 this enormous volume of- eggs has been consumed almost en tirely in canada as a result of the im proved quality and increased consump tion brought about by the application of the egg grading regulations the per capita consumption of eggs has increased from 1cs dozens in 1920 to 268 dozens in 1925 mr motherwell points out that if it had not been for this large increase in the consumption of eggs canadian markets would have been swamped by the surplus and the meet miss ontario its motor picnic weather now do you know miss ontario the alluring beauty of her lakes and streams the colourful fascination of her woods and farmlands miss
