Fall Born Pigs llosrl Extra Om
Pall born pigs raised indoors with no access to the sun are likely to suffer from rickets, even though they are woll supplied with s. good mineral supJement containing calcium and phosphor- ous. The reason is that the prop- Ir utilisation o! these two min- erals» depends upon an ‘equate supply of vitamin D, and vitamin D is produced by the action on the skin of the ultra-violet rays from the sun. Pigs which have, to be confined indoors during win- ter are deprived of the beneficial effects of the sun, and the sun- llght which passes through ord- inary window glass has largely lost its vitamin producing prop- erties. However, cod liver oil serves as a substitute for sun- shine as it is an excellent source OI vitamin D. says WJ. Cuthbert, Dominion Ebrperimental Station, Prince George B.C. Half a table- Slloonful 1J6!‘ pig daily of a stan- dard feedlng oil containing 200 units of vltallnln D is recommend- ed as s prevention against rick- ets. The disease may be recog- nized by stlffhess o! the legs, ‘lameness, bowed thighs and u]. thriftiness and if these symptoms develop, cod liver oil should be included in the ration without delay. It is a good plan to feed cod liver oil to fall born pigs as a general preventative until the pigs weigh about 100 pounds. Cod liver oil of feeding grade may be obtained in bulk and is cheaper than the refined product sold for human use.
WINTER EGG PRODUCTION
(Experimental Farms News)
Tho heart of a winter egg factory is the pullet placed in ideal conditions early in the fall at an age of five and one-half to six months for utility breeds, and slightly younger in case of lighter breeds,
As a rule egg prices have been highest during the winter months but in recent years prices have been high in the early fall months creating a demand for earlier hatched chicks to produce eggs in the time of scarcity.
When possible it is well to obtain chicks from R. 0. P. stock or known high produciing strains. Such “bred to lay" strains when given comfortable sanitary quart- ers seldom disappoint their owner. says E. Van Nice, Dominion Experimental Station, Scott, Sask.
There is much literature avail- able concerning housing and feed- ing for egg production but main points to keep in mind are to provide a comfortable house which can be kept reasonably dry dur- ing winter by liberal ventilation. Good insulation helps to prevent formation of frost on walls and ceiling in cold weather.
Feeding has been sinnplified by the commercial concentrates now on the market which may be used with home grown grain according to instructions supplied with the concentrate. Care should be taken that the concentrate purchased is one manufactured for the purpose desired in this case a laying con- cents-ate.
There are breeding concentrates more suitable for hens producing eggs for hatching, and growing concentrates made up for stimul- ating maximum. growth. These sra not intended for laying birds. inexperienced poultry-men start-

Sheep Still llave Place on Farms
There is nothing unprofitable about high grade sheep that are properly cared . for. The facts speak for themselves. says H. J. Has-grave, Dominion Experimental Station, Swift Current, Sask, Canada produces only i5 to 20 per cent of the wool that is needed each year for the manufacture of woollen products, The great part of the wool required has to be imported. Canadians annually con- sume 150 pounds of meat per capita and only three per cent of this meat is lamb or mutton. Some countries in the world eat well over 100 pounds of lamlb and mut- ton per capita each year. while Canadians eat less than 5 pounds It is thus evident that the sheep industry in Canada could be ex- panded many times before it. would become necessary to look for an exporg, market for the products of the industry-assuming the products are of good quality.
There are many thousands of acres on farms and ranches in every part of the country that are primarily suitable for sheep pro- duction. The forage produced in these areas is largely wasted if sheep are not available to process it into useful products, The role
_ of sheep in a longrange program‘
of proper land utilization ls ob- vious.
A review of the history of the sheep business, especially during periods of economic and climatic adversity, shows that sheep have been a stabilizing anchor on s great number of farms and ranch- es during such times. It is not be- yond the realms of possibility that they may prove their value in this way in the years to come. There is still a potential use and need for sheep in Canada. Viewed from every angle that sheep have s basic role in Canadian agriculture-a role that will remain profitable in the fut- ure.

Shelter Belts For I he Farm
(Experimental Farms News)
According to the meteriological records kept at the Charlottetown Experimental Station. and at other weather stations across Can- ada, the wind velocity in P. E. Island is considerably in excess of that found in most other parts of Canada. This is partly due to the fact that the Province is sur- rounded by water, and because al- most sixty per cent of the total land area is clear and devoid of woods, says R, C. Parent, Superin- tendent of the Station.
Because of this it is doubly im- portant that farmers have shelter belts about their farm buildings in order to make it more comfort- able in the farm home and for live stock in the barns.
There are many fine shelter belts on Island farms. but also many farm buildings with no pro- tection. Some farmers have plant- ed single row hedges of spruce and these have done well. A better plan, however, would be to plant four or five rows composed of both hardwood and soft-wood trees such as Red Pine. Spruce, Chinese Elm. and native hardwoods. Red Pine has been found to make satis- factory growth and provide shelter within a short period. Native spruce makes a slow growth at. first but soon overtakes the pine. Chinese Elm ahii Caraguna make very rapid growth and provide pro- tection a few years after plant- ing.
Around s section of the orchard st the Charlottetown Experiment- al Station a shelter belt composed of one row of Caragana..one of Red Pine and one of Chinese Elm, has provided moderately good pro- tection in the short period of six YQGN. ' '

Watch Temperature ll Storing Fruit
Fruit is very sensitive to con- ditions under which it is kept. particularly the temperature. Large commercial fruit packing plants, cold stcrages, and transportation companies are well aware of the exacting temperature requirements of the various fruit products they handle. On the other hand, the retailer and consumer are often not co~vrrsant with the correct temperature conditions fcr various fruits, s~ys D. V. Fisher, Pong]- Ogist. Dominion Experfimental Station, Summerland, B. C.
Years ago, Van't Hoff, a Dutch chemist. estahPshed the principle that the snsed of chemical rzac- lions dtwhles for each i8 degrees F. rise in temperature. As the process of ripeninc fruit is essentially a chemical r"aetl"n, the r=ie of ripening wihin Pmlis, c*n be s~id to doubl~ for evh l8 degrees F. ris~ in temrerafu-"e This. fruits such as arrpe: perrs neache= and r-h=r"'e=. which are stored prior to n1.=r‘-e‘in~ rrc held at tempera- tures of 3T1 degrees to 32 decrees
in the lowest rate of ri*’e'-lng and at the same time ls irsi; above the point at. which freezing of tissue takes place. Al. this tem- perature clrewies and peaches may be held a week or two. pears two to five mon‘hs, and apples two to eight mmrhs. Aprlss complete their rlperluz process normally st 32 degrees but peaches and pears do not ripen normally at low temperatwes. In order to develop best nuality. these two fruits should be ripened at 60 degrees to '70 decrees P‘.
The consumer who buys peaches should rinen these in a moderately dry place at 60 to ‘l0 degrees F‘. Pears. if already ripe when pur- chased. may be held for a few daivs in the household refrigerator before being consumed. If pur- chased green. pears should not. be placed in the refrigerator, but ripened in a moist warm atmos- phere. Apples when purchased ni srrall quantities, should always be he'd in the refrigerator until eaten. When purchcsed in box. bushel or barrel quantifies. apples s‘-oull he kept in a moist atmosphere in the coolest place available until they are ready to be used.- Careful handling of fruit pro-ducts at proper temperatures serves to en- sure the highest possible quality when consumed.
