War On Bats I

successful agriculture depends. to a very greet extent. on provid- mg against unnecessary losses. These losses may occur in various forms. Possibly one of the great- est drains on farm economy is the loss incurred through rat infesta- tions. Almost every farm at some time has experienced the evidence at destruction from rats. It estimated that 275 million dollars is the amount of loss sustained in Canada as a result of rat depre- dations. This is - approximately about 320 per capita. which would leave on this basis almost 3300.000 annual loss on Prince Edward Is- land alone.

Materials now on the market have been found to be very effect- ive in rat control. A new product WARFARIN is now coming into general use and is reported on the basis of authority to be death on rats. A material containing WAR- FARIN is now being manufactured by a Bummerside agency. In any event, the extermination of rats on a wide front is advisable. Sim- ply cleaning them up on one farm is not sufficient, as there will be a now invasion from other farms where no control mess so are employed. It is desirable then if we are to stop a loss of the pro- portions indicated that a war on rats on a wide front be under- taken which will be of very great economic value to our farm people. and is a necessary opera- tion in the protection of farm economy. -

what about horses? It has been stated that almost all our horses are now approaching the voting age. In any event there is e de- veloping interest in horses. After all tractors can do a lot of our work but we still need the horse. Our farm people are beginning to recognize this good prices have been received for farm hoises. There is also e de- veloping interest in breeding. 'end in this respect the Department of Agriculture would like to point out that lists of available stallions. standing for service, of the vari- ous breeds. are now available to Ty parties who may be interested i selecting a sire for breeding purposes. '

There are still a number of very excellent heavy horses in the Pro- vince and to more owners who wish to secure information in this respect the lists indicated will serve a useful . Incident- ally it should mentioned that any heroes, grade or pure bred. standing for service within this Province, should be enrolled in the records of the Department of Ag- riculture and the necessary impec- tion be secured before such horses are eligible for public service.

Extension Service

Fieldmen of the Department of Agriculture, to as great an extent as possible, will be gled to meet with farm people. either in groups or individually, in order to die-

I problems. Or-

cusa pressing and

tioria or.lndividuel farmers who wish over problems should ' ” to their wishes by direct communication with the Department.

Grass lilago

The production of grass silage is a matter of very great interest to the farm producer, and influ- ences very widely the economy of animal nutrition. The Department of Agriculture has a large amount of information regarding this ro- Ject and the officers of the re- vinclal Department of Agriculture have lied considerable - 'cel and practical training in this de- velopment. Your inquiries,are cor- dially invited in this respect.

A -number of slice of various forms are now under process of construction, and in this connec- tion we would urge those intend- ing to save grass silage to not de- lay provisions for storage until too late a date. Grass is develop' this year very rapidly, and if the saving of the grass is delayed un- til too late the value of the silage will be correspondingly deteriorat- ed. Get your facilities established as soon as possible, and be pre- pared to hervt the grass when it. ilof greatest food value.

Chick Range And Shelters

Very little literature has been published on poultry pastures, and experiments carried out in Quebec last year have shown that the fol- lowing legumes are good: Ledine Clover, Alfalfa, and Blrdsfoot Tri- foil. Recommended grasses for poultry pasture are Brome, Ken- tucky Blue and Timothy.

Birds should never be reared on the same range each year but the land should remain free of poul- try for a year or two before re- turning birds to thepasture.

Birds can be allowed on range at eight weeks of age providing the weather is suitable and proper range shelters are supplied. A range shelter 8 ft. by 8 ft. with a steel or aluminum roof and slatted floors is suitable for loo growing birds. The posts of the ahelterti are generally iii inches high. The -sides and ends are covered with win ” These give wonderful ventilation and the en- tire floor space can be used for roosting quarters. Young birds should be left in the shelter for at least a day and a night, and the range space limited for a few days with a temporary wire fence until the chicks are accustomed to their new home.

400 chicks can be reared on an acre of good range land but if in- sufficient range is provided the land soon becomes bare and pol- luted with droppings containing worm eggs and disease organisms. Chicks grown on good pasture can be grown on l0-lii';"a less feed. and obtain valuable feed nutri- cuts and ideal sanitatlon.mScra:;.ch jinn. and growing. a :1 ratio. with insoluble grit before the chicks at all times. is s recom- mended feeding progrsmme for the birds on a good pasture.

After the chicks are removed from their range shelter the land in the immediate vicinity should be liined heavily. plowed, and sown to a green crop.

Sign on the civic recreation hau in Wainwright, Alberta: "ladies Rest Rooms. Public Weicuns."

A mortioien still has a 41-year- old corpse kicking around his place of business. His name is N. J. Mscbougel. Be is co years old and runs an undertaking parlor at Laurenburg. N. C.

The corpse was brought in back in i900. and several hours later use- Dougsl embalmed the body. Then a men claiming to be the deceas- ed's father showed up and paid aw towards the burial fee l'0iI'-lntini that the corpse be held for further instructions.

The years passed. still no im- truction came. The law held that

burial could not take place when 2

a deposit had been made on the body. Finally an pfler of 3500 for burial was made by a countryman of the deceased. The undertaker declined the offer because the stor- age charges, embelming etc, now reached the 05000 mark. That end- ed the matter. Bo now, after 43 years, the corpse still occupies space in MsoDougal's undertaker storage room in Imurenburg, N. O. In a Montreal flower shop may be seen this sign: "Our flowers - are good to the last droop." Oliver Wendell Holmes had a famous four word definition for e lsdies' afternoon tea. Here are the four worth all starting-with the let- ter "0". . Giggle, Gobble, Gabble, Git. O O The literary labors of some men are phenomenal. Take for instance Carl Linnaeus. who wrote 180 books, some of which were not published until after his death which occur- red in 1778. These books dealt most- ly with plants. He developed the concept of varieties subordinate to species and entered varietal names

. in the margin in different types

Subsequently he did similar ser- vice for animals.

A tavern owner by the name of Hans Lukas who lives in West New York, N. J.. came home one night with the day's cash and stuffed the S1200 in his pillow case with- out telling the little woman about it. The lauridryman called the next day, and off went the valuable pillow case. Police recovered the bills.

Without identification we could not progress. For scientists lnust be able to identify heavenly bodies before they can chart and study them. So it is with the engineer. He must be able to identify every element inamechlne. Thegeol is knows his rocks. the farmer is soils. The entomologist actually knows his bugs before he attempts to combat with much hope of suc- cess. The zoologist knows his ani- mals and the botanist. his plants The historian identifies world

events and then sets theinidown. The physician identifies syniptomai without identification we would find ourselves little sdvpnced. from the cave man.

. a a e i To give you seine idea of what 1 mean by identification I shall take you to an herbarium where plants. are collected, dried and classidieii! The arriving specimens are mount-I ed on sheets of strong white paper. about 1135 x 161,5 inches. celled; "sheets". The sheets are put to-, gather under heavy covers and then filed in pigeon hols for fut- me reference. Nuts, cones. and the like are kept in boxes and soft fruits go into liquid containers or are re- presented by photographs.

The herbarium is for identifica- tion and record. It is at such pieces that we may hope to find accurate information regarding plants.

The resurrection plant is so call- ed because on becoming wet the branches uncurl, and appear to lilting into new.iife. A few other
