MENDELISM IN COWQ I

Readers many remember an article in these notes which dealt rather iul- ly with Mendels law oi heredity, as applied to poultry. Now the British Friesian Journal gives instances of red-and-whit calves, true to type ex- cept in color, from black-andwhite Frieslan parents. This is oi course is bound to happen ii there is a red strain dormant in the parents. A far- mer in England has a herd oi red- and-whlte Friesians. whose parents were all biack-and-white, but has never since he started bred a black- and-white cal! irom his herd. This l: all in llne with Mendel! law. If my readers are desirous oi learning more about this interesting principle, they will iind much that is instructive in a lttle book called "The Third and Fourth Generation," in the Public Library, where such diverse subjects as sweet peas. race horses. and man. are shown as amenable to Mendelism. Details oi the nortorlous Max-Jukes family and the famous Edwards iam- ily lend additional interest to this little book which is not too technical nor tedious for the general reader.

' \ A FARMERS‘ UNION.

Scotland has a National Farmers’ Union and one oi the first objects to which the shrewd Scots have turn- ed their attention is the potaio. Pro- posals have been made to the various local branches of the Union to have each member sign a. three years con- tract ior a given acreage of the tuber, the produce to be sold by the Union. which will act as a pool. It is thought that 50.000 acres will be devoted w potatoes under this scheme and the price paid to growers will be the av- erage obtained by the pool. All pro- duce is to be properly graded. This Union evidently sets out to control the number of acres to be devoted Y») any particular crop: ii it can do this there will be no danger oi glutted markets in Scotland, at least.

ditlonal Profit arising from canoniz- 1118 is mainly due to the fact that o premium oi irom five to ten cams per pound is paid on certain markets ior capons. In. one instance greater weight was made by the capons, while in another the the cockerels made superior weight gains and in no case was there an appreciable diiicrencc between the two. Constantly, in con- sidering caponizing it would be well ior the poultryman to ascertain whether or not a premium can be oh- tainable irom capons over broilers. It but a poor price is paid ior broilers, as is often the case, a greater return can be obtained by caponizing. Du:- ing one experiment a profit oi thirty- six cents per broiler and $1.82 per cepon was obtained over cost or feed. In another, proilts oi twenty-nine cents and 81.76 were obtained for each respectively. Labour, deprecia- tionsie. were neglected. in consider- ing these figures it is essential lo bear in mind that a premium oi ten cents per pound was allowed ior capons. ‘

It is for the individual farmer or poultryman considering his local con- ditions, to determine the advisability oi oaponising. Using the above figures as an approximate guide and taking into consideration the coat oi labour, availability oi iandand equipmena, tho price obtainable for broilers, capms and l ‘.rs and any fac- tors oi importance, one can readily determine the‘ praeticabiility oi cap- oniaing.

In recent years, mammoth sorts have been introduced with hugh dahlia- [lowers growing on plants up to three feet tall. Colors range from pure white through the yellows, crimson to ilery scarlet. They thrive best in good ionm and in an open position. For the best results, start indoors about this time. and transplant inio the open ground from the third week ill May to the lirst oi June.
