been chosen as Exeter's flower pro-
duces a profusion of bloom that is
very attractive. As a cut flower it is
not,; so popular. Let every house-

It has been ,found byexperiments
A nts
carried on at experiment stations
both in Canada and the United estates
that it
is seldom
advisable v sable to ptasture
hogs under 75'lbs.,in weight, Soiling
crops, however, can be fed to advan-
tage at a much earlier period, When
hogs are fed on pasture alone they
barely maintain their weight, so to
secure rapid gains some grain must
be fed. It is seldom: a good policy
to be sparing with grain to hogs on
pasture even where it is exceptionall"
luxuriant. The amount of d
„rain fed
will of course depend to a large ex-
tent on the class of forage• crop used
as well as the time at which the hogs
are to be finished. - This amount must -
be increased as the finishing.. stage is
reached. About 1 Ib. of grain is a
good allowance to start with. This
can`be improved gradually until 4 to
5 lbs.: are being fed.
Of all forage crops alfalfa is the
most suitable' where it can be grown
with a' reasonable degree of success.
It provides early pasture that` con-
tinues to be succulent throughout th
season. New seedings of alfal
must be pastured carefully, but aft
a good stand is established from 1
to '20 'sheets inay .be pastured on a
acre, providing- they are receiving.
fairly full grown ration.
Next to alfalfa, rape is the be
green crop for swine. Because
the ease with which it may be grow
in many sections it is a more valu
able crop than alfalfa. It may b
sown in drills 28 inches apart at tit
rate of 3 lbs. per acre, or sown broad
cast. Pigs shotild not be turned o
rape until it about 10 to 14 inche
In height, and when its is fairly wel
eaten` off should be given a chane
to grow up again by having sons
other pasture on which the hogs can
be eturned for a time. Next to rape
clover is possibly the best pasture or
ling crop. The growth is not so
uriant as either rape or alfalfa
does it cover as long' a feeding
iod. Clover should be used where
eral plots are being, pastured al -
/lately. Red cloven is most coni-
my used, but recently sweet clover

The sleet storm, of Tuesday even-
, ing, has rendered the side walks very
slippery and' many are the down falls
of citizens these days.
A good arrangement of pasture.
crops is secured when "alfalfa is pas-
tired first, and when it is eaten off
fairly well, a , plot 'of' red 'Glover or
sweet, clover can be pasture'ci. The
alfalfa may then be allowed"to grow'
up for hay -and a held='of'rape sown'
to be pastured later; when the clover
is done. Rape sown at different in-
tervals;can be used alone, but gives
slightly,. inferior gains compared to'
the use of different pasture crops.' It
has been found by experiments car-
ried on at widely distributed experi-
ment stations, that the use of pas-;
ture er soiling crops in feeding frogs;
•enables<the feeder to secure gains at
from 20 to 30 per cent, less cost than
where grain feeding alone to finish
the hogs on pasture its use le prac-
ticed. When it is not desired to fin-
ish the hogs on pasture its use is still
valuable because of the healthy,
thrifty condition' it induces in the
growing hogs, thus making them
match' more likely feeders than when
they .are raised without green feeds:

Poultry Culling Improves the Flock.
Poultry culling demonstrations in
Prince Edward Island show that in
the first year (1918) the number of
live birds culled was about 45 per
cent.;- in the third year only' about
20 per cent. had to be culled, owing
to the good effect of grading up.
It pays to show that you have hens
that will lay, well. The pen of prize

times the price of just ordinarily
good laying birds. Get really good
