Wilting is Desirable Before Ensiling Legumes 'te Silage from legume crops or mix- tures of legumes and cereals appears to be of a much more desirable quality if these crops are wilted for several hours before ensiling. , The wilting of alfalfa, in particular, seems to be es- seetial, if good silagesis to be made. Alfalfa, sweet clover and se mixture of oats, peas and vetches were stored at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, in small wooden silos during the summer of 1924. Each silo was 6 feet high, 3 *feet in diameter and held approximately half a ton. The various trials with these crops, which occupied 21 silos, included cutting at different stages of maturity, ensilag- ing before and after wilting and stor- ing for periods of three, six and nine months. The silos wore opened dur- ing the winter of 1924-25 and the sil- age was in every respect 'comparable to that which is produced in large farm silos. The results of one year's work, though not conclusive, indicat,eethat the stage of maturity and the amount of moisture in these crops at the time ,of ensilaging have an important bear- ing on the silage produced, the reduc- tion of the original moisture content • of the crops by wilting showing the greatest benefit. There seers to be a greater likeli- hood of securing a desirable sila,ge from full bloom alfalfa than from - this crop cut at an earlier stage of es maturity. There is an advantage in flint• cutting sweet clover when the flower buds are well formed but before the • crop blooms became there is a greater probability of securing a second cut- foielant, inarshrhaliews and such like seParateln, • t, THE BRIDE'S BREAKFAST not only to the interior of the house, but to the yards, cellar, passage -ways„ or ether areas that are usually not kept as deem as the roses in a home, IIY MARY 1ViASON WRIGHT.' and Mine Insely where insects, ler- June!

Silage of good quality was se- cured from oats, peas and vetches ensiled when the oats were in the milk and hi the dough stages, but the later stage or, just when the oats show the first signs of turning appears to be the most desirable time to cut this crop. Foul alfalfa which had been mow- ed when one-tenth in bloom and wilted in the sun for at least five hours or for a relatively longer period if the sun Was not shining, a fairly good sil- age was secured, while full bloom alfalfa wilted in a similar manner gave a silage of better quality and of corisideeably greater palatability. Alfalfa .ensiled immediately after cut- ting, no matteve stage of maturity, gave an undesirable and unpalatable silage. The wilting of sweet clover, and oats, peas and vetch- es for several hours resulted too, in the production of a type of silage which was somewhat more palatable than that produced by the unwilted material. The length of the period of storage appeared to have little effect upon the silage which was produced. Housewives, attention!

HOW CHRISTIANITY WAS PLANTED AT Anerocis, 19-20, II. A CREAT,SPIRITUAL HARVEST, 21-26. In. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY AT ANTI - OCH, 27-30. IbereorrucesoN—The planting of Christianity at Antioch may be said to be the most important historical event in the -annals of our religion since the original foundation of the church, From the human standpoint It came about almost accidentally. Certain Christian leaders who had been driven from Jerusalem after the death of Stephen came to Antioch, and began speaking to the Greeks, that is, to Greek -speaking Syrian Gen- tiles, about Jesus Christ, and, before they knew what had happened, a great religious movement was afoot among these classes. The spark from Jeru- salem had caught ,fire, the seed had taken root, and the originators of the movement to their great astonishment and joy saw Gentiles pressing forward for baptism and admission to the church. e'The church at Jerusalem sent down Barnabas to report on the eituation. Barnabas was overjoyed, and to his wise and thoughtful mind it occurred that Saul, now in Tarsus, was the very man to carry forward the great new movement at Antioch. So he brought Saul there, and Saul had now a great God-given opportunity to put his prin- ciples into effect. His great concep- tion was the, creation of one catholic, 'or unieersal chilled; Iticlusive of both Jew and Gentile, in which Christ alone would be recognized as the meanssof salvation. We shall hear of this,, great experiment later. Meantime we see a great missionary cherch established at Antioch, and giving great evidence of ardent prac- tical Christianity. I. HOW CHRISTIANITY WAS PLANTED AT ANTIOCH, 19, 2e. V. 19. The scattering of the church at Jerusalem in consequence of Ste- phen's death led to the wider sowing of the seed of the gospel. We find some of the leaders establishing them- selves in Phoenicia (Tyre and Sidon), and also in the island of Cyprus. In all these regions there were many 'Jews, and, at first, the preaching of the missionaries was strictly confined to Jews. Then suddenly, at Antioch a new departure takes place. V. 20. Antioch was at this time the thied largest dity in the world, rank- ing next only to Rome and Alexandria. It had been founded by the Seleucids, the Greek dynasty which established itself in Syria after the death of Alex- ander the Great, end was possessed - of, imposing magnificent e. Here the Oriental traders from. the desert met with Greek shippers, Arab chieftains met with members of the Roman Im- pet:dal Government, .Syrian mystics met with Stoic philosophers. The Christian missionaries who first ar- rived were men of Cyprus and Cymne, and were, therefore, well acquainted with the heart of the heathen world. For some reason not stated -these mis- sionaries abandoned the policy hither- to followed of speaking only to and addressed themselves to the Greek,' that is, heathen population of Antioch. The result was a sudden and widespread movement among these Greeks which at onthe created e Gentile -Christian Church. . II. A GREAT SPIRITUAL between 21-26. V. 21. "The hand of the Lord" was with the missionaries, that is, both i they and their hearers were convinced i by immediate experience ofethe divine 'power of the message.. Conviction was 'followed by applications for baptism, and many came into the church. Vs. 22-25. The news of this unex- pected expansion of Christianity in- spired the church at Jerusalem to send down Barnabas, that he might survey the situation and report. No better than could have been appointed., His generous sympathy, his powers of et- IcOuragement and counsel, his enuring Isense of what was right, qualified him beyond all others for the teak of a - predating a new movement of t Spirit. "When he saw the race of Gee—compare Peter's wor s about the household at Cassarea (Acts 1.10 1/)—"he was glad," and true to his character "exherted" the converts to hold fast to their new- found Lord with, resolute purpose of heart. For, says the hietoriati, "he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith." His very presence and sym- pathy helped on the mese. V. 26.

Doubtless the title was at first a nick- name, but soon it becomes the most honorable of designations. III. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY AT ANTI - OCH, 27-30. Vs. 27, 28. The historian mentions that among those who came down to Antioch -at this time were certain Christian "prophets" from Jerusalem. it was impressed on the soul of one of them, namenAgabus, that the world was threatened with famine through a shortage of the harvents. As a mat- ter of fact, certain partial famines oc- curred soon afterwards in the early years of Claudius (A.15„ 41-54), and a 'disastrous one some five or six years later in forty-six. Agebus n.oe!t solemn- ly warned the Church of this ap- proaching calamity, and urged appar- ently that something should be done to relieve the distress which -would be inevitable among the poor Christians of Jerusalem. Vs. 29; 80. It shows the practical character of the new Christianity at Antioch that measures were at once taken by the Antiochian Church to send -relief to Judea. The contnbu- tions raised were handed to Barnabas and Saul, and they were appointed to convey them to the elders at Jeru- salem. Doubtless, Barnabas and Saul had superintended the raising of the fund. Do not let us fail to observe the nobility of this act on the part of the Gentile Church. It shows the extent to which the spirit of love, the spirit of Christ had taken root, and the broad vision which existed of one uni- versal Church in all the world. The church at Antioch showed itself worthy of the high eminence which was to belong to it as the metropolitan centre of Gentile Christianity. We are not surprised to find later that it was from this centre that the first great mission to Asia and Europe was organized. Hulless Oats and Ordinary Oats for Feeding Hogs. To compare ground hulless oats with ground oats in the feeding of Berkshire hogs, a test was inede at the Central Experimeptal Farm in the fall of 1928. In this test, according to the report of the Dominion Animal Huebandman, a mixture of hulless and ordinary oatengave greater and more economical gains than ordinary oats, the lot fed with hulless oats in their ration gaining 0.15 of a pound per hog per day more than that fed a ration containing no hulless oats. Feeding Sows and Barrows.. In feeding experiments with Berk- shire hogs, carried out at the Central. Expetimental Farm, barrow's made 'slightly larger gains and also more economical gains than sows when fed on ground oats. Details of these ex- periments are given in the 1924 re - pert of the Dominion Animal Hus- bandman, distributed by the Publiqa- tons Branch, Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa., Livestock farming has these ad- vantages over straight grain farm- ing: More steady labor, income the year round, several markets instead of one, saves soil fertility. While mint is springing fresh and green by country streams, make some mint sauce. Mince the mint fine, rub it in plenty of white sugar and mobs - ton with osieshalf cupful vinegar. sf the vinegar is very strong, add a little Water. Mint sauce is very good to have on hand. Typewriters on the farm often get So they do poor work. The 'letters get filled up nand look blurred on the paper.

PVVARD I wouldn't want to promise you that you could always save 588 pounds of hog feed by usinga pound a salt It did happen though in one of our tests of the feeding use of salt bete at the Experiment Station, In another ex- periment, where the pigs ate only a half pound of salt for each 100 pounds of gain, the saving figured 176 pounds of feed for each pound of salt eaten. I am quoting these rather remark- able results first because I want to emphasise the value ef sait'when used in proper manner in hog rations. True, salt nee been known to kill hogs. A good many cases of salt poisoning I have found were really brine pois- oning. We have kept salt before pigs for ten years without a eteee ,of salt pois- oning. Naturally,we eseield net starve them for salt for months and then give them a big, sudden dose of it. That would be hazardous. The best results may be expected when salt is mixed with other min- erals, such as spent bone black, high calcium limestone, bone meal, potas- sium iodide, charcoal, wood ashes, cob clearc.oaT pr others—one or more of these properly combined. Under most Conditions, if we had to choose but one mineral, we would hug the old salt barrel tightly. A simple and very good orthodox mixture with four "backbone" mineral ingredients may be made from salt, 20 pounds; spent bens black, 40 pounds; high calcium limestone, 40 pounds; potassium iodide, one -fiftieth pound. I can supply directions for ,ore elaborate mixtures if desired, Salt and charred corncob ashes is bet- ter than no mineral mixture at all. In one experiment we used a splen- didly balanced general ration self -fed to 67 -pound pigs. Without salt it took 218 days to make the pigs weigh 300 pounds. With salt it took 156 days, or two months less time. The pigs that got no salt required 574 pounds of feed to gain 100 pounds weight. Those fed salt gained 100 pounds for every 467 pounds of feed --107 pounds of feed difference. It was in this experiment that a pound of salt was figurered to save 176 pounds of feed. You can figure out for yourself whether it paid to feed the salt. A pound of salt will usually last a pig two months or more. He doesn't need much but that little goes a long ways. While -the ration used in. this ex- periment had plenty of protein, none was from animal sources.. So we tried one with tankage of 60' per cent. pro - tient included. Pigs weighing 36 pounds were fed up to 235 -pounds. The pigs that got salt weighed 235 pounds a month sooner than those that got no salt, and ate 100 pounds Less -feed for 100 pounds gain in weight. Whatever the ration, it pays to let the pigs have access at will to salt, but it pays better still to combine the* salt with a good mineral mixture. There is no questiori but what the use of plain white salt saves feed in sub- stantial quantities, promotes health, lessens losses and shortens the feeding period. Pigs Are Mostly Water! The brood sow that is well watered during the wintertime, and during the summertime too, has an advantage over her, neighbor that is compelled to eat snow and lick ice out of frozen troughs. Our experiments have de- monstrated that it is not essential to heat the sow's water but that it is advisable to supply free, open water a couple of times daily or else have a 'water supply that is continuous and which of course does not freeze up. Self -icing is not self -watering, and self -watering is to be commended. It may be well to emphasize here 'that an analysis of a little of pigs will show that the total weight at far- rowing time is actually comprised of about 80 per cent. water. just think of it, four-fifths of the newborn pig is water and only one-fifth is dry sub- stance! A litter of -20 pounds weight, therefore, when squeezed out would yield 16 pounds of water. Yes, it pays to water the brood sow well, but yet it is poor economy to pamper her with warm slope or heated water. Meat and Bone By -Products as Feeding Stuffs. An investigation towards the estab- lishment of standards in meat and bone by-products used as feeding stuffs has been carried out by the Chemisilry Diyision of the Experi- mental Farms. The materials dealt with include meat and blood meals, tankage, bone meals, and fish meals, the by-products of packing, houses, slaughter houses and fish canneries. Analysis of a- number of market samples of each of these feeding-stuffs have been made and the results de- tailed in bulletin No. 49 of the Dept. of Agricultuee, distributed by the Publications Branch of the Dominion Dept. of Agriculture. They are high- ly nitrogenous concentrates especially useful in feeding swine and poultry on account of the high percentage of protein and bone making material they contain. Purchasers are warned always to buy these feeding-stuffs on guarpteed analysis, as it should be certain that they were prepared from fresh materials and that they are sweet and sound. Respect the humble toad, Ile is one of the best friends a fanner can have. Home IYIkiket for PorkI. Canada, says the Markets Interne gence Division of the Dominion Lisre Stook Brandi in its annual review of the eittiationi 14324, increased her exports of bacon and ether pork and pork products by 24,f1e3,100 pounds, the total being 128,150,000 pseuds cempaned with 103,646,900 pounds in 1928, The increase in enliatss does not represent the augmentation of hog supplies, ,eince the surplus of; hog rnarketings over the previous year vvas equal to about 80,000,000 pounds. As a consequencee domestic ineeiry most have absorbed 57,500,000 pounds more pork and products in 1924 than in 1923. As the review says—a strilo. ing example of the purchasinepower of the Canadian people! Analysis of Feeding Stuffs. There are at present on the market a number of high-priced feeds, mostly the by-products of packing houses, slaughter houses and canneries, and including meat and blood meals, tank- age, bone meal, and fish meals. A. new bulletin, No, 49 of the Dept. of Agriculture, prepared by Dr. Frank T. Shutt, Dominion Chetniet, and Miss S. N. Hamilton, Assistant. Chemist, gives for the first time in. Canada, an analytical survey of these meterials. The eomposition of a large number of samples is given in detail. The auth- ors stress the importance of making certain that thee feeding-stuffs are sound and wholesome and free from any taint of reemidity and decompo- sition. They should be purchased only on guaranteed analysis. Benefits of Sheep Dipping. A Live Stock Branch sheep pro - meter in Western Ontario who had taken an active part in installing com- munity sheep dipping taelse, tells an interesting story of the experience of a group of sheep men for whom one tank was installed. These men were not very enthusiastic about sheep dip- ping, and the second year neglected to put their sheep through. The one sea- son's experience, however, had enabled them to contrast the results between dipping and not dipping. The next year every man of them came back thoroughly convinced that no branch of the farm work was more important than the annual dipping of the sheep, which produces a better and more ' valuable fleece, a more contented and ' therefore better doing crop of Iambs which finish readily for thennarket. Silage,. Silage is the most important of all, succulent fodders, and is almost in- dispensable for the carrying on of successful dairying in most parts of Canada A new bulletin on the sub- ject, No. 50 of the Dept. of Agri- culture'prepared by Dr. Frank T. Shutt, Dominion Chemist, and S. N. Hamilton, Asst. Chemist, has just been issued. Feeding experiments with different silages have been carried on at a number on the ,Experimental Farms, and analyses of samples of these silages have been made. The bulletin which may be obtained from the Publications Branch, Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa'gives the details of the analyses of silages made from sunflowers, corn, oats, peas, vetch, sweet clover, and various mixtures of these crops. Did Your Clover Kill Out This Spring? Know the Reason. Many fields are in good shape with practically no loss; a few fields are showing considerable injury and will give an indifferent crop of hay. The principal factors causing clover are: Weakness due to lack of lime in the soil. Weakness due to lack of phosphates in the soil. Weakness due to poor drainage. Freezing due to lack of snow cover- ing. Weakness due to general poverty of the soil. Drainage can be undertaken, lime applied, phosphates applied, and the soil generally nut into, condition to develop big husky plants. Plan your drainage now, and look ahead toward the application of lime in the autumn. IF HEA ACHES MAKE LIFE MISERABLE YOU SHOULD USE Mrs, E.
