No plants other than fife legumes, alfalfa; `clovers, peas and beans) can do this, and those plants cannot do it without the light bacteria being present in the roots. Different species of bacteria are necessary for the different specied of. legumes. What the Culture Means to a Crop. B!ndrPeedl. F . tCoatributedby Ontario Department o 4g-rlCtdlture, Toronto.) Inoculation of alfalfa seed often means the difference between a good, in vigorous, growthy crop and a poor, spindly light crop. Alfalfa nitro cut- e ture (price 50c.) may be obtained on ' application to the Bacteriological Department of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph. Etxract from a letter received from C. R. Worthington, Comox, British Columbia: "The inoculated portion of my alfalfa crop has flourished exceedingly and is making most luxuriant growth,entirely crowding out the weeds, and showing u splendid color. The , uninocu1eted. "portion has almost entlrely died out and the few planta left Were small and very pale. In fact, I have now plough- ed them up. I may say that about the time I sowed mine a good many neighbors did the same; but they did not inoculate. Their plots this spring, without exception, area pitiful spec- tacle—.weeds with a few sickly alfalfa plants .Jett.' Sowing Alfalfa Alone on Summer Fal- low in July. Izl experigeeets conductedt .t e A.gricultitral College at . Guelph, it has been found that excellent results have been obtained from sowing al- falfa alone on a summer fallow in the month of July. When sown at that time on a moist soil, germina- tion is rapid, and the plants are en- abled to make a good growth before winter. There is not apt to be a pro - lensed drouth after July. By this method, weeds are unable to produce ,seed -in the autumn and the alfalfa has an excellent opportunity to get well established.—D. H. Jones, 0. A. College, Guelph.

Calvert, noted guide and 'sportsman of Rainy River, who has 'done much towards bringing tour- ists from all parts of the United .States to the Lake of the Woods, states that the tourist traffic this year has greatly exceeded all pre- vious years and anticipates a greater ,increase next 'season. United States grain shipped from Canadian ports during the crop year, :September 1, 1922 to August 31, 1923, totalled 55,000,000 bushels. This meant total handlings of ap- proximately 110,000,000 ;bushels, as it was necessary for the grain to pass through the elevators at lake ports and at ports of exit. 4 Miss Marion Towne, of Berlin, • :N.H., who in three years since she first put on a ski, has achieved fame through her daring and grace- ful jumping, has expressed her de - :sire to compete with Canada's best ,girl ski jumpers at the winter sports carnival in Quebec on February 21, il.22, 23 and 24th, during which time she will make exhibition jumps. Further indications bhat the year 23 will create a record in ocean raffic are shown by figures given -out at-nhe headquarters of the Cana- . Pacific Steamships. Bookings for westbound sailings were . excep- tionally large, while those for sail- ings to the Old Country for =Christ- mas and tole New Year were in ad- vance of the traffic of any previous year.

Get on the field just as soon as the land is dry enough to permit of cul- tivation. Do not give the bindweed a chance to make any early spring growth. If the field is in sod, plow shallow. If the land was plowed last fall it will not be necessary to plow againthis spring. Cultivate every week or ten data with a cultivator with broad points, that will cut all the plants off an inch or two below the ground without bringing the creeping root -stalks to the surface. Continue cultivation until. the 24th of May or lst of June, Then plant corn m hills 42 inches aparteeaeh way so that it can be cultivateneboth ways. As- soon as the corn is en, ciiitevate it with a corn cultivator al feast every two weeks, oftener if possible. Just as soon as the corn ie: cut plow out the stalks and cultiek e' every ten days or two weeks with the broad - shared cultivator_ . It is -very import- ant to cultivate again es soon after the corn is cut as possible so,.that the bindweed will not have a cb'anee to get started info growth. The last thing in the fall rob -up the land into drills„ and allow-., to stand over winter. The frost in all probability will render material as- sistance in the eradication.

Mixed With ' Sour Milk—Winter Rhubarb Growing.. • (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The marketing of thin chickens Is not conserving our ineat supply, nor is it the most profitable method toe - the :producers, Present prices of market poultry admits of the liberal use of feeds and the marketing of:,, 'well-feshed birds. In most localities there is con- aider able variation in the prices paid, for thin and finished chickens. The spread in prices varies from two to. Dive cents per pound; in some in- stances much more. It can readily' be seen that the producers' gain :in price on the original weight of the bird should make a profit, above the cost of finishing, on the gain in weight. Fatten the Heavier Breeds. The best birds to flesh or fatten, are those of the heavier breeds,' such as Wyandottes, Reds and Rocks. The light breeds, such as Leghorns, seldom pay to fatten un -less they are very thin in flesh. . The ,birds intended for fattening should be confined to a small pen on slatted' coop. The process is not dimoult if you will but pay atten- tion to a few points that are' essential. Do not feed 'the birds for the first day they are shut up. You should give them something to drink, but It is best to give no feed. Then feed very lightly for two or three days. and gradually increase the ration, being very careful not to overfeed. Weusuallystart chickens on very finely ground grains at the rate 'of three-quarters of an ounce of grain per feed to each bird, feeding twice daily. This can be increased gradu- ally to two or three times this amount. Generally the most profit- able gains are made during the first fourteen to sixteen days' feeding. Such birds will not be excessively fat, but should be fat enough to cook and eat well. Some markets demand a fatter bird. The most profitable gains are made on birds weighing from three ' and one-half to four and one-half pounds when put up to fatten. Feed the Grain Finely Ground. The grains fed should be finely, ground, and, if'at all possible, should be raked with sour milk. 'Mix the feed to a consistency of a pancake batter. The more milk the chicken will take the better bird you will have in the end. Milk appears to have no good substitute for fattening chickens. If you cannot get milk then add ten to fifteen per cent. of meat meal to the ration and mix with water. The addition of a little green food daily will help matters. Many people get better results by feeding a little salt. About one-half pound to one hundred pounds of dry grain Is sufficient. This mixes best by being dissolved in water and add- ing a little at each feed. Be careful not to use too much. The best grains available now are ,a mixture of ground barley, corn- meal, finely ground buckwheat, and shorts. Oats are good if part of the hull is sifted out, as are also ground brewers' grains. We have used with good results a mixture of two parts of ground barley, two parts corn- meal; and two parts shorts, mixed with twice the amount of sour milk. in general feed about one-third shorts and then whatever finely ground grains you may have about the tarn;;. Six Points Worth Remembering. The birds must be healthy. The coopshould be clean and free from verrain. Do not feed the first day: Feed lightly the first few days. Never leave feed before the birds for more than fifteen minutes. If it Is not all consumed remove what is left . If et all possible mix the ground grains• with sour milk.—W. • R. Gra- ham, 0. A. College, Guelph. How Winter Rhubarb Is Produced. In making a permanent business of rhubarb forcing, it is necessary, each year, to set out a new bed, as plants once forced are of no further value. :In the spring large roots should be dug, split in one bud sec- tions and replaced ` in rich moist ground: During thegrowing season they ars kept cultivated and free from weeds. •' In the fall they are covered with manure. Next spring a second bed is planted as before. That fail" a large part of the first bed is taken• -up, leafing sufficient to replant another abed the next spring. The roots are -taken; up the last thing in the fall'before the hard : freezing weather, comes ' and are placed in piles •in:a shed where they can easily be got it during the winter but will remain froaen. About December lst take in x suiacient number of roots, place these bud side up on the floor of :a warm cellar—ab9ut 68 or 70° —and cover with an inch of sand. Be sure, to fill in all ' interspaces., Keep this sand moist. About a week later the buds will begin to swell and in from four to six • weeks, 'de- pending upon the heat of the room— the cooler the place ' the slower'' growth starts—you, should have rhu- b ready for market. • After these roots are,.:exbauated threwnh em. away and put im. mare If a constant sup Pia' is ' required make `' a. new beds' 'every'twe ier three weeks' during the - winter. Ile sure to keep all light dimmed Put burlap or brown paper ,over the Avindows to get the bright pink sglpr so much' desired. ---A. i.
