Such as rigid cutting with special attention to your breeding stock for large size. ruggedness and docllity, litter size. thickness end quality of fur and any undesirable habits noted during the year. Have you fed your mink as individuals. and watched them closely since Jan- uary lat? Your breeding stock should have been kept in good shape. but not fat. Gradually reducing their diet to present a lean but rugged con- dition by the end of February. Gradually building up the females so that they were slightly gain- ing by msting time. During preg- nancy females should not be fat- tened. This, in the opinion of one of our leading mink ranch- ers. accounts for more Kit losses than any other single factor. Feed should not be increased to any extent until three or four days following the birth of the litter feed by ten days to two weeks. Feed at this time should be slight- ly laxative. The above mention- ed rancher recommends that it should consist of 30 to 4079 red meat with liver making up 1095 or so of this percentage; 1095 tripe or more should be him In- cluded along with 107:; Cereal and 296 Tomato Puree. During pregnancy you will note that on in April they suddenly seem to have become fleshy. This hap- pens with the influx of warmer weather together with pregnancy. A good policy to follow is to look over your females once weekly during pregnancy and marking overfat and very thin females. Feed should be dis- tributed accordingly. No doubt it should be men- tioned that if you,have Pastels on your ranch they should be at- tended to very closely. The av- erage type of Pastel female re- quires more feed to keep her in the same physical condition as the standard-female in your ranch, this may also apply to certain other mutations. Other aspects to be taken into consideration prior to and after Wheiping will be considered in next week's column. Rats Are you plagued with rats or do you have Just a few around the barn? Whatever the case get rid of them for they are among the worst disease carriers known to man and they cost you dollars ev- ery year. Even a single rat; repre- sents s. grave danger around the farm. The experts estimate that one rat will eat approximately 35.00 of feed per year. In addition they estimate that our Mr. Rat spoils additional feed and damages bags to I. value of about 320.00 per year. It ooats you, therefore, about 85.00 per year year to keep one rat in the style to which it has become a i dl In Waterloo County.

Against this the commercial cost of the warfarin for the thirty farms would be about 3150. This would appear to be good business." Breeding Problerns Freqwcntly the question is rais- ed, is there any way that a cow can be made come in heat? This problem confronts practically every cattle raiser at one time or an- other. cattle .5 Anoestrus or failure of to come into heat, may have one of various causes. Among these are such things as diseased ovar- ies, faulty feeding, an unbalance of the hormone system and in some cases heredity. The most common these is perhaps faulty feed- ing We would not recommend that YOU give Your cow any drugs until after consulting a veterinar- ian and having him examine your cow. Many of the so-called rem- edies which appear on the market. lute actually useless and until the animal has been examined it is very doubtful if anygood would re. suit from their use. It might also be a good idea to have your ani- mal's blood tested for Bangs dig. ease as this condition very often predisposes to breeding troubles. Incomplete Milking Experiments have shown that while the response to the milking stimulus is automatic there are marry interfering factors. Strong emotional states such as fear or anger completely inhibit response to the milking act. In some experiments where cows were frightened or angered, only the milk present in the milk cist- erns and larger ducts was obtain- ed even though the milking ma- chine was left on for more than 40 minutes. Placing grain feed where it. oould be seen but not reached by the cows resulted in incomplete milking. S t. r s. n g e sounds, the presence of strangers, new milkers, or any other similar incident is all that is needed for incomplete milking.

I O 0 Many new developments are un- der way, but I shall not even touch upon these. The press and radio reports reach P. E. 1. al- most immediately, and even if they did not, I am not-qualified to comment on them. I can only say that in New York, as un- doubtediy on the island, people are intensely interested, but are wary, though not without hope that now there may he a change for the better in the world situa- tlon. The General Assembly Hall, the largest of the conference rooms, as its name would imply, is odd and beautiful. The two side walls slant at a definite angle. Glass enclosed balconies, where inter- preters nnd secretaries sit in their separate cubicles, cover much of the wall space. Where the walls are free. they are painted a deep indigo and decorated with murals that repeat the moss-green of the carpets, and the apple grccn, robin-egg blue. and light, tan of chairs and tables. More exciting than all else, of course, is the sight of the mem- bers of sixty different nations, seated alphabetically; side by side. For instance, Canada-Chile-here they sit. a matter of inches apart. but worlds apart in language and thought. Yet there is every rea- son to hope that they will finally understand each other. This hope is strengthened, .when we see Lester B. Pearson of Canada, pre- siding calmly and effectively over this significant assemblage.
