Mr. Arkell is large- ly, engaged in that branch of fanning and has had many years experience, and consequently understood the sub- ject in hand. He would recommend feeding cut straw and ,hay along with pulped turnips and chopped grain, two gallons per day. Grain to consist of amixture of black barley. peas and oats. He finishes his cattle oei good grass without grain, and thinks that where the pasture is good, much grain fed upon it is ,wasted. He grows British buyer must not be deceived, e as he will not be deceived twice, and a packers should see that no inferior fruit be put in with first-class, but packed, and shipped by itself and. . labelled according to its duality.

He fed his lambs for two months before shipping 1 pint of oats each and would recommend growing rape, as lambs have been known to gain c lbs per month when fed on it. In feeding breeding • ewes he would not feed en- tirely on hay, as they sometimes lost about one thu•d•ot the wool, but would feed pea straw along with the hay for best results He thinks turnips in moderate quantities Good for ewes, batt that carrots are alwaysinjurious. Hog feeding was also introduced, and all agreed that the earliest matured pork was always the cheapest. Messrs. John S. McDonald, 'Lamb, Ackert, and Corrigan took part.in the discuss- ion. The question, of the feeding qualities of .barley was raised and Mr. Brown explained, its relation to other grains as a fat forming food, and those present, who used it in fair proportion with'flesh and muscle producing foods as oats and peas, recommended it as a good feeding grain, but would feed it . without; cooltieg or fermentation.
