McDowells, the snow at this place having accumulated, to such an extent that at present the traffic is practi­ cally blocked. As the Council in the past has wot looked with favor on ap­ proval for payment of shovelling snow Timothy Widely Used , ' j . i Timothy is used in Canada almost to the exclusion of other grasses, largely because clean seed of strong vitality is generally available at a low- price. The expense per acre of seed­ ing is less than with any other grass. Timothy, if fed alone, is of low nu­ tritive value for growing animals or for milk production, because it is de­ ficient in flesh-forming constituents. It is, therefore, not a profitable fod­ der by itself for those purposes, A liberal mixture of clover improves it. It is favored for work horses that have heavy grain rations as well, and, on account of its digestibility, it is the standard hay for delivery horses required to work immediately after feeding.
