Lass feed Grains FroiitWest tn East

Predicting a drvlndllsigcupply of feed 8181115 from western Canada for eastern consumption, Eon. James G. Gardiner, Dominion Minister of Agriculture, told a recent meeting of the Ontario Creamery Associat- ion at Niagara, Falls, Ontario that caster-n farmers should increase their own production of feed grains if they hope to maintain their pre- sent production of livestock and dairy products. The meeting was he'd in connection with the assoc- iation's annual convention.

Referring to his early associat- ion with lhc dairy industry in Onl- iirio, Mr. Gardiner recalled that lie drove a cream w-agotl hauling cream to the Winchclaea Creamery ln Western Oihtarlo in 1900. While serving as provincial treasurer of Saskatchewan he had been privil- eged to put through a big transact- ion in creamcrics, when the Colder Creamer-id; and the Saskatchewan Ooopmtive Creamerles were amal- gamated.

Speaking on the problems con- fronting dairy runners today, Mr. Gardiner said "I have noted that one of our officials has made bold enough to suggest that we may not be producing enough milk to éllllllly our own needs in 1950. It ls rather risky to prophesy that far ahead. but I hdpc he turns out to be “Tong.

"There is one thing certain. how- ever," he continued "and it ls that unless feed grain s-uppllcs are increased the production o1 live- stock products, including dairy products, cannot be maintained at. its present level.

"In recent years‘ the 9101311011011 of feed grains has been lower in eastern Canada than immediately preceding the war, whereas it has been higher in western Canada.

"This was encouraged." Mr. Gard- inei- said, "at; a time when there were considerable surpluses 0f grains of all kinds-and particularly wheat- hi the west. The western faflngf was encouraged to transfer from the production of wheat to the production cf feed fifflln- Fill-I'm" ei-s were also eticouragfid to feed more wheat.

"Now there is a tendaiicv M’ far-liners in the west to 8o back 1b wheat, and there is a demand every- where that "wheat be taken from livestock feeding and be made avail- able to humans.

"It, 1s important, therefore. that eastern farmers, interested in maln- taiiiing production of livestock and dairy products. increase the Dmdllc‘ [ion or feed grains. There is hound to be a falling off in 50091195 D1 leid {mm vixesterii sources, particularly wheat and barley", said Mr. Gard- iner.

Soil for seeds should be finely screened compost with sufficient sand to make it pQTOUS and quick to drain. A good soil consists of one-third sand, one-third peat and one-third garden loam. It med con- tain no plant food.

Drainage holes should be ‘bored at intervals in the bottom of e. wood- en box or flat; if seed potd 0r pans iire used, the drainage hole should be well covered with pot shreds. small stones. srihagr-um moss or other material.

Fill the box or seed pm with soil, and level it of! with a small flat board or ruler. Finn theéoil by pressing down with a board cut to fit the inside of the box: be sure the corners are well firmed or they may sink when water is applied.

Seeds can be sown broadcast or in rows the latter method being pre- ferable because of ease in cultivat- ing and weeding, if necessary. Care must be taken that the seeds be sown thinly, for when crowded a fungotu disease called "damping- off" may attack the plants.

Creep Feeding Spring Litters of Pigs

(Experimental Farms N ews)

Creep feeding of pigs while on the sow is a definite help iii pro- ducinz heavy, thrifty pigs at weari- lng, With a large litter, and in rearing early litters which do riot have the benefit of sunshine or outdoor conditions the use of a creep is parlieillarlv important. Actually, all normal-sized litters will beriefltjrom creep feeding and so it is gosd business to make it a regular routine in hog raising, says E. B. Fraser, Dlvisicn of Animal Husbandry. Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.

reep feeding is merely arrang- ing a supply’ of feed fcr the little pigs separate from the sow. Separ- ate feeding can generally 139 (lone by boarding off one corner cf the srn, allowing the pigs in the alley- saylflgr giving them an adjoining ZCIl which to feed.

At two to three weeks of age, the

‘would be continued until weaning

1 six to eight weeks of age. The

1111s can even be continued on the

one feed for a time after wean-

Equal parts cf sifted oat 113p and middling; or cracked wheat. makes a good mixture for tho young‘ pigs. To this should be added seine high protein feed. Fish meal, tankage, or a protein-mineral supplemiit can be added to the teen mixture at the rate of 10 to 15 per cent. Minerals are desirable except where a protein-mineral sllpplcmfllt ls used, and two to three per cent of a simple mineral mixture should be~pdded to the grain. The dry feed mixture should be fed sparingly but often, and fresh water kem in a separate trough.

aiiowsnvo m THE pronouns

One of the first things we learn in pronouncing by the old of the dictionary ls. that a short horizon- tal stroke over g vowel indicates that the vowel is long. Few, how- ever. learn that the stroke is cal‘.- ed a Mncron. A similar stroke has another use in old writings and prlntings, where 1t, shown that an "m" or an "n" has been omitted (purposely). “Me' with s, stroke above the "e"- reads as "men.” In such iycase the stroke is called a Tittle.

On the other hand we learn that a vowel ii short when it has a semi- clrcle~wlth the curve downwnrd— above it. Such a sign is called I “Bi-eva." 1f the breve is inverted, so that the curve is upward. it marks the Clrcumflex accent, often used in foreign words. Both breve and circumflex may also be repre- sented by a two-lined arrow-point figure instead of the usual semi- circle.

In Spanish word: one sees a curly mark placed over "n" to ln- (licate |, following “y" sound. (It begins as u bmve and finishes a: a. circumflex.) Its name in a Tlldc. Canon or canyon is an example.

In French, the letter "c" is ren- dered soft (like an "s") by a little hooked mark dependant from it. That little hook is 5 Ccdllla.

The land ls the source of all things, nationally needed: food, clothes, minerals, fuel.

All edicts were enforced by council police armed with new weapons. short green tubes which projected a bullet with such velocity-that it‘

The Sleeper woke just in time to mix in with a revolt, a civil war. against the dietational regime of the council.

Weather Summary for 1946

There has just reached me, by courtesy of the Experimental Sta- tion, Charlottetown, an excellent summary of the weather conditions of the year 1946.

In the first taible there is a month by month survey of the highest and lowest recorded temperatures, and their "means." The interest is great- ly increased by columns giving the highest and lowest monthly means over a period of 46 years.

Table II is a summary -nio-nth by month -of the hours of sun- shine which We fllloyed. This is followed by the monthly mean of sunshine for the past 36 years. Tak-

of it may be drawn fro-m details supplied by Reed, Taverncr, Brim- iey. and others, I RAd-lhrnltzd Loon. no.0. 11. iWinter Visitor, scarce? Bummer plumage resembles that of the common loan with these exceptions: lhead end back gray with no white “spots, back of head ‘black with a few white stripes. Bill slender, with ‘the top of the upper mandible jstraight: this gives it a slightly upturned effect. There is n patch ‘of dull red or chestnut color on the Iorencck, and the underparts are, white. Winter plumage: gray above‘ {and whitg below, the back sprinkl-I

ed with small white spots. Feet

'fully webbed, outer toe longest. Smaller than the Common Loon, being 25 inches long.

In its winter plumage it might

be mistaken for the Holboell Grebe,

I but it is larger, has no white patch, _on the wings, and its feet are dif- l ferent.

The Red-lhroated Loon or “Cape .Drake" is found off the shores _c-l' Nova Scotia but nests much far-’ jther north. says Mr. R. W. Tufts

in his "Birds of Nova Scotia." The‘

‘same authority warns that Loons iare protected by the Migratory ‘Birds Act and must not be shot lnor their nests disturbed.

When the Sleeper Wlkes

Nationalization is going on brisk- ly in Britain because the Govern- iment must show results (benefic- ial, it, hopvs) before the next elec- tion comes round. This makes time an essential factonJt seems as if the land will not be nation- alized at an early date, for it con- stltutes an involved and "thomy” problem.

Looking at all these vast changes one's mind harks hack to g par- able and .a prophecy, published in Victoria-n times and entitled “when the Sleeper Wakes." This WM writ- ten by the late H. G. Wells, at l time when Socialism was but l little cloud on a far horizon. The story (as I recollect it) run thus:

A millionaire, on holiday in Corn- ivall (or perhaps Devon) comes a- _crocs a woe-begone individual star-

is interested and talks to the mop who gays he is a victim of insom- nil; and hasn't slept for some weeks. The millionaire invites him to his hotel and they dl-ne together when, wonderful to relate! the ln- acmnlac falls fast asleep: so fast asleep that he ‘docs not wake for supper. "Let him alone," sz-ys his host, "and sec how lung he'll sleep.“ He sleeps all the next day and the local doctor is called in. After four days‘ sleep the Landon doctors, on the millionaire‘: instructions, take the sleeper up to thel: College, and put him into a sort of incubator fitted up with all kinda of gadgets whore he lies "as snug as a bug an a rug.“

The millionaire takes an unus- ull interest in the else, and. as he has no relatives, when he dies, it is found that all his money is left to the sleeper, under n board of tirultees. The sleeper sleeps [or 300 years before he lwnkms to a vastly changed world.

It was one of the duties of the trustees to invest their fund hi good that piece by picccf

l

ing the totals. we had 1933.9 hours of sunshine against 1862.8 hours which we might, reasonably have expected as on average.

The third and last Table is taken up with the precipitation (o; rain- fall) for the different months. This time the figures are reversed: we had a total rainfall, for the year, of 38.00 inches instead of the aver- age of 42.52 inches. Since one inch of rainfall represents about mg tons to the acre, there was a shortage of 452 tons per acre-along with the extra hours sunshine.
