A few own­ ers complain of feeding troubles with home-grown grains, owing to the fact that much of the grain was badly weathered at harvesting. Large quan­ tities of alfalfa hay art being shipped •from Haldimand, both baled and ground. Prices being paid to farmers for hay in the barn run from $8.00 to $8.50. Several loads of Western lambs are on feed in Middlsex and are being marketed as'they reach pro­ per weight and finish at around $7.25 cwt. Prince Edward County reports buyers for new^milkers and springers have been active recently. Two car­ loads have been shipped by U.S. buy­ ers in the past few weeks, in fact the supply hardly equals the demand.

Ontario Seed Grain After a careful survey of the seed situation for the spring of 1938, the Department finds that there are suf­ ficient oats and barley in the province to look after the seed requirements. This is dependent on every farmer taking immediate steps to have the best of his grain cleaned and set aside for his seed. Many appear to think that because their grain this year is off color and a little under standard in weight that it will not make suit­ able seed, but tests already made show that when this off-colored and underweight grain has been thorough­ ly cleaned up to a 50 per cent cut in some instances, good seed was secur­ ed which germinated as high as 90 per cent. If this work is done mow the cleaned out grain can be used for feed. By following ‘out some such policy there will be no great shortage of seed next spring. Many farmers have a fanning mill of some description, which with a little repair and an ex­ tra screen or two, will clean grains. The correct screens, of course, are important, and should any farmer be in doubt, the Department will be glad to furnish this information on request. Where farmers live within driving and trucking distance of power clean­ ing plants that have scourers and car­ ter disc machines, it will pay them to have their cleaning done at one of these plants. What is most important is that the farmers start now so that the clean­ ing and germinating can be done pro­ perly, and not leave it-until a spring rush develops. Germination tests will indicate the suitability o£ seed. Full particulars from any agent. Canadian Pacific again late in the afternoon. Old stalks left should be thrown out where the birds cannot reach them or they may be the cause of crop trouble. Fair results may be had by feed­ ing good alfalfa leaf dry but the ex­ perience at this Station is that the steeped cut hay is better appreciated by the birds on account of its easy digestibility and because it is more palatable.

In sum­ mer it may be provided by free range on the farm, but in winter it must be supplied by some form of stored feed. Roots, cabbage, sprouted oats, and alfalfa hay are commonly used for winter feeding. Probably alfalfa is the most valuable element in the win­ ter poultry ration, and if the follow­ ing precaution is taken in feeding it may be used in unlimited quantity. For several years it has been the practice at the Experimental Station at Harrow to chop fine the young alfalfa shoots for the baby chicks and to use cut alfalfa hay as the sole means of supplying the necessary roughage and greens for winter egg production. A good grade of second or third cutting hay is run through a cutting box in about half-inch lengths, steeped for twenty-four hours by en­ tirely covering with cold water, strained, and fed in shallow tubs. For the best results it is fed immediately after the early morning grain and if Hi' *' Mrs. Eleanore Close Rand is step­ daughter to Joseph E. Davies, U.S. embassador to Belgium.
