be used without injury 10 the skin
Of the animal TO which ii is applied
IL is an excellent and economical
remedy II is as follows: One gallon
Of fish oil, four ounces OF turpentine.
one point OF coal oil. one ounce Of
the oil OF cedar and one ounce of car
bolic acid. Mix thoroughly. Stir the
contents before using Spray a small
quantity OF this or apply with a paint

small quantity will answer.
The following formula is recon

water 10 make three gallons. Dissolve
the resin in solution OF soap and water
by boiling together. Add fish oil and
the balance OF water. Apply with

Matteson's formula IS: Fish oil

Mix well. One-half pint will cover

EGGS AND RECIPROCITY

The farmer may feel distrustful
of Canadian reciprocity on account
Of his wheat, but there is little
reason for fear on that score, for
the worlds price of wheat is fixed
in Liverpool: he may feel distrust-
full on his corn, but there is no
: reason at all for that, since corn is
not Canadian crop; he may feel
distrustful on account of the fruit
Of his barnyard, but here again
his fears are groundless. An
alarmed poultry raiser wrote to
the state department at Washington
to inquire what effect the Canadian
reciprocity plan would have on the
egg business in this country, and
he was told officially that the
United States is by far the leading
source of Canada's egg importa-
lions. and Canada is q very large
importer and a small exporter of
eggs. The quantity she had for
export has decreased from about
100000 dozen in 1906 to $4,000
dozen in 1911, and she is actually
reaching out as far as Manchuria
- and China for eggs. OF Sc.
eggs from the Orient hardly come
under the category of fresh" or
"strictly fresh" The imports by
Canada Of eggs from the United
States average about 100000
dozen year, while Canada is only
able to spare the United States an
average of about $4,000 a year.
This is due to special circumstances
In 1906 the United States i'm
ported from Canada l6, 600 dozen
eggs. Daring the fve-year period
up to 1911 the largest quantity in
any single year was $4,000 dozen.
The total lsat year was only 10000
dozen as against ESQ, 900 dozen sent
from the United States. In the
two previous years the exports to
Canada has exceeded l 100000
dozen.
The Hartford Times states that
in January this year hens eggs
sold at thirty cents a dozen in Ver-
mont and at forty cents a dozen in
Montreal. and that a similar dis
parity prevailed all along the
border, the wholesale price at
Manchester, N. H. being twenty
five cents and at Sherbrooke,
Quebeck. thirty-five cents.
This is a specimen Of conditions
affecting mtny kinds of farm pro-
ducts in the two countries The
farmers of the United States would
do well to cease worrying about
the possible effects of Canadian
reciprocity in their business
