ADVANTAGE OF FALL PLOWING
Fall plowing ie valuable In many
ways, ana is labor profitably spent'.
One of the advantages is that the land
can be placed.. in first -claps condition
early in spring with much lees labor
than otherwise. It may be safely said
that in nine years out of ten, crops
planted early produce the most satis-
factory yields. When plowing ie de-
layed until SPring there is very often
difficulty in preparing a proper seed
bed, and instead of being busy fitting
hie land for planting, the farmer is
still plowing.
Soils that are turned up and ex-
posed to the frosts of whiter penetrate
to a coosiderable depth; unplowed
soils are not penetrated beyond half
the distance by the frost as are those
recently plowed.
Especially in elay soil, it is import-
ant to loosen the earth below the
depth to Which the plow gem With
grouad plowed thoroughly before
frost, the soil will, after the arrival
of freezing weather, be found frozen
often to the depth of 20 inches. This
Means that every particle to that
depth is moved to a small extent. The
expansion of the particlen of Moist-
ure pushes apart and breaks up the
most retentive soil.
It has been demonstrated that
when clay soil has been well drained
it is inade friable to a considerable
depth, and upon the arrival of spring
the frost leaves the ground, and in
'consequence the soil becomes eo looee
that air can penetrate to a great
depth, and chemical action be prepar-
ed for.
Another important consideration is
the destruction of insects. Land that
(is plowed in the fall will be free of
Cutworms and other ineecte which are
injurious to young and tender plants
ra the spring.
•Some of the insects strive to reach
la point below the frost line. Fall plow -
ring turns up these insects, and, though
;they still are over by the soil, the
'ground is so locee about them that
they freeze several times beforespring
and are thus killed. This, however,
will not entirely deetroy all the cut -
Worms, but it will jessen their num-
ber, and consequently lessen the dam-
age done to plants.
In the case of certain ineects which
pase the immature stages in the
,ground, the larvae may be so deeply
buried by plowing that they are un-
able to reach the surface.
In order that there may be a free
drainage the furrows should run dir-
ectly up and down hill by the short-
est slope; if plowed across, the fur -
wows will become filled and the land
coaled with water. It May be well to
nhovel the loose earth out of the dead
Surrows forthe same purpose. If the
'ground is wet or undrained, plow nar-
row lands.
FARM NEWS AND VIEWS.
After weeks of severe drought and
intense heat, pastures are so dry that
they will furnish no pasturage until
late In the fall, even with the aid of
the usual late summer and early fall
rains. The man who has much live
stock on hand will find it necessary
to provide temporary fall and whiter
pasture. For this purpose there is no
better erop than rye. Rye may be
seeded any time during September or
October on stubble land, or after corn
has been cut for silage or fodder. A
'bushel and a half is enough for early
'sowing, but two bushels should be
used later. Small fields of such cover
crops furnish a great deal of pasture
at little expense, and leave the soil
in better condition than if they had
not been grown. Vetch is • a legume
which adds nitrogen, and the fine
roots of rye protect the soil against
washing, which is niore serious be
tween growing seasons than most peo.
ple realize. But vetch should not be
sown early in September for good re-
sults. Next spring the rye may be
turned under as a grain -manuring
crop before corn planting time.
As a succulent feed for dairy cows,
young steels and hogs, a 20 -ton crop
of rutabagas is equivalent to a 124on
crop of corn. With clover hay and oats
they make a balanced ration. Twenty
pounds of clover, fifty pounds of ruta-
bagas and eix pounds of oats make an
ample dairy ration for a cow giving 30
pounds of milk containing 4 per cent.
of ).utter fat. From 16 to 20 tons of
roots an acre is the average yield, on
raanured land, So an acre yield on the
se erage will provide 60 pounds eaily to
each of three cows for seven or eight
months. The roots may be stored in a
cellar or root house, whieh saves the
-
expense of a silo.
Dean Alfred Viviau, of the College
of Agriculture, Ohio State University,
Colbmbus, points out that a manure
shed on every farm would prevent the
manure losses to,a great extent. Sucb.
a structure neea only have a. concrete
floor and a covering which will pre-
vent rains from reaching the manure
as it does in the barnyard. It should
be connected with the stables by a
litter carrier. When the immure can-
not be hauled directly to the fields its
value will remain the same by storing.
Manure handled in this manner has
returned .as high at ;5 per ton in in-
creased crop yields.
Neither manure nor any combination
of fertilizers has been able to produce
a full yield of wheat -without the help
of lime, said Director C. E, Thorne
regarding the value of lime on soil
similar to that of the Ohio Experiment
Station. This year manured land
yielded 21 to 26 per exhit. more wheat
where lime was applied. Another plot
fertilized with nitrate of soda. acid
Phosphate and muriate of potash gave
21 per cent, more wheat whore limed
than on unlimed soil einalarly fer-
tilized. The yield on a plot receiving
complete feetilizer with nitrogen in
sulphate of ammonia gave 115 .per
cent. increase in crop by application
of lime:

potatoes for next season. it is an ex-
cellent practice to dig a good any
hills separately with a hand fork and
to select seed from only the best -
yielding hills. Such a practice will
lead to the improvement of potato
strains, and will largely prevent the
"running out" of varieties, Whatever
attention is given to hill selection of
seed potatoes must obvibusly be given
at the time of digging.. If this selec-
tion is not resorted to, it will be found
to be profitable at least to put aside a
sufficient quantity of the best -typed,
siteable tubers for seed. The selection
of such tubers, even from the Link
seed, will insure a harvest of better
yield and typo than if Culls are
planted.
In preparing to fill the silo or build
a silo, one should remember that an
air -tight condition is necessary, and
unless the hoops are kept tight and
coat of paint applied, considerable
silage will be spoiled. A cubic foot
of silage weighs about 40 pounds. A
1,000 -pound steer will eat about a cubic
foot per day, This is a gelid basis
on which to caleulate the size of silo
to build.

So far as the products of eiectro-ehent-

the United States, out off from Re stiOPIY

pendent upon electric products to supply
the deficiency, in part at any rate.
These are but a few of the industries
dependent upon cheap electric power.
Tho further .development in either Can-
ada or the 'United States, or the inaugu-
ration of such processes In Canada, is
very la VIely, if not altogether dependent
upon cheap available, dependable -power.
The source of such power is admitted-
ly, for a very large portion of our coun-
try, water -power. The development of
water -power in making available a sup-
ply of cheap hydro-electrlo energy In
various perts of the Dominion, would
probably result in the reduction of the
cost to the consumers of countless ar-
ticles of every -day ,use, which, to the
man on the street, are in no way as-
sociated with hydro -electric development.
To be more specific, the manufacture

In the absence of chromium. tungsten,

made by electrical processes, the build-
ers of American battleships and other
weapons of national defence, and a large
portion of our Canadian steel and metal-
working industries and other industries,
would be in the condition of twenty
years ago. The electrical industry it-
self is largely dependent upon silicon
steel, a product that does not age and
does not wear.
The development of aeroplanes also
calls for aluminum, and only with the

At the outbreak of the war, we were
cut off from the supply of Greek and
Turkish emery. To -day the metal -work-
ing industries of. this , country aee de-
pendent almost entirely upon clectrie
furnace abrasives, carborundum and
alunclum. The manufacturer of agricul-
tural machinery, locomotive, firearms,
railing 'machinery, automobiles, and
-eountless other metal products must have
these abrasives, o,nd they can now be
made only where waterpower is de-
veloped cheaply.
The electric turnace also turns out cal-
cium carbide, the only source of acety-
lene, which is being so extremely used
In Canada. The oxy-acetylene flame has
become of intense value in the welding
of metals and the cuttin,g of steel, The
same calcium carbide is the important
factor in the fixtation of atmospheric
nitrogen, and ie the source of supply
upon which we may have to rely for
nitric acid and nitrates employed in mak-
ing munitions of war and fertilizers.
All the artificial graphite used in the
world to -day is produced at Nitkara
Falls, by cheap waterpower. Its uses
are manifold. Practically the whole
supply of abrasives on this cootinent is
from Niagara.
Considering the products of electro-
chemistry alone, chlorine stands out as
of first importance. The sterilization of
water suppli•ed of countless cities has
been made possible by the use of bleach-
ing powder or hypochlorite, and in com-
munities where this is used extensively,
typhoid has been largely eliminated. The
armies of Europe use chlorine to avert I
typhoid and other chlorine products, In -
eluding chloroform, are used surgically,•I
both as anesthetics and antiseptics. This
same chlorine or bleach, makes pos.
sible the manufacture of white cotton
goods and white writing paper. Other
products of chlorine, produced electrical-
ly, entered into manufacture of soaps.

were together, and together they

poured into them from the right,
