NTARIO is , fortunate this
year in having a good. Supply
of grain in almost all classes
of crops. The more grain
there is to selectqram, the better
chance there is to get the very best
seed for sowing in the spring, Too
many farmers forget the seed supply
for next year's crop until most of
their grain is fed or sold..
If the best of this grain- was set
aside for'seed at threshing time or
taken from the grain bins before any
of it was fed or sold, there would be
less work of seed. preparation hi the
spring and a foundation provided for
"better seed than is often sown.
Small, shrunken or broken seed
has a feeding value nearly equal to
that of large plump seed. The follow-
ing results of seed selection experi-
ments conducted at the Ontario Agri
-
"'cultural College at Guelph will show,,
however, that there is very great dif-
ference in the value of these for seed

Clean, Dry and Ventilate Stables.
Cleanliness, dryness and good ven-
tilation are hygienic conditions very,
desirable in the housing of all kinds
of live stock. Horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs and poultry all do better and
are less liable to contract infectious
and contagious diseases when kept
under such conditions than when
dirt, dampness and poor ventilation
are found, in the stables in which
they are housed. Undoubtedly, 'out-
breaks of infectious and contagious
diseases do occasionally occur in the
best built and best kept stables, but
the danger of these spreading is much
less than where unhygienic conditions
prevail.
. Without doubt good stock has been
produced under stable conditions that
were not of the best, but the chances
of producing' and a maintaining good
healthy stock are much greater where
,cleanliness, dryness and -good ventila-
tion in the stables are the order of
the day.
Dirt of all kinds, whilst it does
not itself produce disease, is liable
to harbor and foster the bacteria or
other germs that do cause infectious
disease, hence, so long as it is -lying
around inside the stables it is a
source of danger to the stock.
If there is one class of stable more
than another in -which cleanliness is
desirable it _is the dairy stable. Milk
is an ideal food for many varieties
of bacteria as well as for human be-
ings or live stock, and many varie-
ties of bacteria are always present in
stable dirt. Consequently, when dirt
or stable dust gets into milk, many
contaminating bacteria get in with it.
It is the action of these bacteria in.
the milk that causes it to spoil either
by souring or putrefaction. Conse-
quently, one' step in the production
of good clean milk is to have it pro-
duced where there is little,danger, of
dirt or dust getting into it-.
Dampness is a great agent in the
spreading and fostering cf disease.
Perhaps the': one, disease that it Is
Most liable to induce is pneumonia. •,

sult of '-contr'acting 'pneumonia

development of various lung troubles.
with ail finds of stock. "-The damp.
stagnant air in badly -ventilated sta-
bles lowers the"" vitality, dLpresses the
blood circulation and so puts the ani-
mals kept under these- conditions in
such a state as to make them ready
subjects' for the development of such
diseases' , as influenza; pneumonia.,'
