THE 1 ONTARIO A GRIQUL- TUI'„ •t L ANI) ,AXP R,1- MENTAL UNION, The Association known as the Ontario Ag l'iealtural and Experi- .ental 'Void); was established in . c r - 1SI,3 ,, but rvaas not Widely lknown by the fanners in general throughout t Ont r Ontario, until clueing the hast tax years. Its growth has been of a very ettbatantial• character although not rapid. The work which .the Union is doing should conllnena h- self to every practical farmer through- out this Province. The results Of experiments already obtaainedthrongh the association are worth thousands of dollars to the people of •Outario. To got some idea. of the value of tbeso results, a person has only to examine the annual report of the Union, whish is printed each year as an appendix, to the report of the Ontario Agricultural College. THOSE WHO COMPOSE THE UNION. The Union is composed of the officers and stuclents, past and pre- sent,. of the Agricultural College, who pay an annual fee. The mem- bers are entitled to vote, hold office, and discuss any question before the association, All interested parties, however, are welcome to the meet- ings and are always invited to take an active part in the discussions, They are also invited to join in the co-operative experitnents conducted over Qi tario. OBJECTS of THE UNION. The chief objects of the associa- tion aro to cherish a bond of unio among those who have been con 7tected with the Agricultural Colleg' to establish a system of co-operativ experimental work in Agricultul throughout Ontario; to invite th Livingston,.

In regard to excursion rates on t railways, the programme states th those who wish to attend these co ventions'should purchase a izrst.cla single fare ticket to Guelph, a obtain from the railway agent a't starting point a standard railw certificate, which must be sign and supplied free by him to an person who asks for it, This certi tato when signed by the Seoretaz at the meetings, entitles the hold to return at excursion rates. We also notice in the programm that the officers of the Union and t n officers of the College unite in th pleasure of inviting alt intereste e; persons to be present at the Unio e lllecting, to be held in the Colleg e buildings, commencing at 10 a. e on the 12th and closing about 5 p. m e on the 13th of December next • `v r' We advise all parties who wish attend one of the best agricultur of Ontario to apply t C.

CO-OPERATIVE EXPERIMENTS. The members of the Ontari Agricultural and Experiotenta Union, along with other intereste farmers over Ontario, are active) engaged in carrying out a system o co-operative 'experiments in Agricu tire. This work was started upo its present plan in the spring o 1886 with twelve experimenters, wh received grains and fertilizers, carrie out the necessary instructions, and' reported the results at the end of th season. For the first two or titre years, the experiments were confined almost entirely to the ex -students o the Agricultural College; but a many other farmers expressed a desire to join in the work, the invita- tion was extended to them also, and material was sent to those who ap plied on the condition that they would be careful to follow the neces- sary instructions, and report the results of their tests after harvest. The work has steadily increased since its commencement, and, during the past four years, the Union has been unable to supply the material to the full number of applicants,. owing to the demand being so great, In 1891 there were 2,642 plots ;; in 1892, 5,688 plots; in 1893, 7,181 loots; its 1894, 7,721 plots; and in 1895, 9470 plots were used for these co-operative tests over Ontario. Besides those in Agriculture, co- operative experiments are also being conducted in Dairying, horticulture, .�3.picultnre, Botany, and Entomology, ., nd explanations of which are too elaborate to give to our readers at this time. It is certainly a fact that one of the most extensive systems of o•operative .experimental work in general agrleulture to be found at the present time is the one established in Ontario under the direction of the Agricultural Experimental Union. THE ANNUAL MEETING. The programme for the next an- nual meeting has just been issued by the executive coaneil, and we notice that the next meeting' of the Union Is to be held at the Agricultural College, Guelph, on Thursday and Friday, the 12th and 13th of Illlber next. If this programme can be taken,' as an indication of, 'what the meeting is likely to be, we 'prophesy a most interesting, pro. .d'tablee, and enthusiastic convention, ft is reel -Aimed the programme that every person advertised to speak heft consented to be present.

The last shipment of Canadian live stock from Montreal was made by the Lake Huron' last week. For shippers, the season was more satis- factory than for some years past. A contributing cause to this result was the fact that ocean rates did not go much over 403 or 50s per bead for cattle. United States firms have been buying distillery, and stall -fed stock this year, which. has benefited the. Ontario and Quebec farmers to some extent. A large increase in Northwest ranch cattle has been observed. The total shipments for the. season, 1895, were 96,504 head of cattle, 215,508 sheep ane. 12,468 horses. Cattle show an increase of 8,960 bead, compared with 1894, an increase of 13,242 with 1893, and a decrease of 2,167 with 1892.. Sheep show an increase of 75,745: head, ccimparcd with 1.894, and horses an increase of .6,845 with 1594. Last year it was estimated that the average price paid to fanners was x;55 per head, while this year it is $60, which makes a.total of $7,593,- 340 for the total number of cattle shipped this year, as against $4,808, 220 last year. The quantity of bay shipped to feed the cattle was 16,- 000 tons, at an average price of $10.50 per ton, or $16,800 for the eason. The attendants employed were 5,000, at $15 each, snaking a total of $75,000 for the season. The f It is important toprovide comfort- able quarters, as animal heat must come from the food first, and after what is needed to support life, make up for the daily wastes of the system s and supply animal heat, then milk C can be produced front the balance. e If good shelter is provided less food t is required for heat and winter use. But, in a choice between keeping a number of cows and only securing- a small amount of milk from each `' cow, a better plan is to let a part of a the cows go dry in good season in $ the fall, and take the feed saved in p this way and. give to a few of the better cows, and by liberal feeding maintain a. good flow of milk. • Liberal feeding, with a good milk - producing ration, is essential iti securing a good flow of milk during the winter. One df the best rations is clover bay for roughness, with IY. Do not take any substitute when you ns'k tar the ono true bleed peritler, Rood's wtseapatillul. Iflirlet rr fI Road's said only Hood's, nsurance on the cattle amounted to 96,564 and the amount paid out for freight was $865,640. The trade in sheep has also con- idcrably increased and improved oanparecl witn former years. The xports of sheep this year increased 5,745 head, compared with 1894, be total number being. 215,508 head. This means that the farmer eeeived $1,077,040, valuing then at 5 each. The insurance on them mounted to $4,000, and the freight 239,450. The returns to the ship- er, however, were not so encourag- ing as last year, Nearly $15,000 Canadian sheep were stopped at Liverpool and London on account of scab. Shippers have suffered heavi- ly on this account, and think that some vigorous system of inspection should be instituted in order to blot the trouble out, otherwise the English markets will be closed to brant and the trade ruined, which means a huge Ioss to the farmers. On the sheep stopped at Liverpool and London, during the past season there must have been a loss of nearlq $1 eaeh, so that Tlie shipping of a few scabby sheep has practically test exporters between $20,000 and $30,000. corn meal, wheat bran and a small quantity of oil ureal. This makes one of the very best rations I have ever tried. Although good rations, is unthreshed oats run .through a cutting box, with wheat bran and middlings. I am satisfied, from several years' experience in feeding cows, that, in nearly all: eases, it pays to feed the milch cows ground feed. A inilch cow, of al1 animals en the farm, needs to be kept quiet so its to requireas little eicpendittxre of nerve force to digest her food, and the principal advantage with ground food is that it is moll easier mod - sated and easier digested than if fed whole. If a. cow is to give a good flow of .milk in winter ;she oitg'ht to be fed all that she will eat up clean, I prefer ,clover hay as a roughness if M It can be scoured.
