The World Had Been -Searched
-For the Finest 'Variety.
The O. A. C. No. 21 Was Then De•
[eloped From the ' Mandschourit
From Russia—Started From a
Single Seed at Guelph in•' 1903-
- Feeding for Bacon.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Toronto,)
The,.O.A.C. No. 21 barley has been
such a marked success in Canada
that a -few words regarding its ori-
gin and development may be of in-
terest to the Many farmers growing
that grain.
A World Search for the Best Barley.
During the year 1888 the Field
Husbandry Department of the On-
tario Agricultural College made a
world search for the best variety of
barley in existence. In the spring of
1889, fifty-seven different kinds of
barley were grown under test. A
variety from Russia, under the name
of Maudscheuri, gave such good re-
sults in the first and following tests,
surpassing all other varieties in a
live year average by five bushels per
acre per annum, that it was multi-
plied for distribution. In 1892 this
variety, Mandseheuri, was distributed
in pound lots to 'co-operative experi-
menters throughout Ontario and was
continued lir co-operative test for
each of eighteen years. it gave such
good returnsthat from the pound
lots sent to the farmers this barley
was rapidly increased .until it became
the most extensively grown barley of
the province.
The Mandscheuri a Great Mother
Variety.
In the spring of 1903 between nine
and ten thousand selected grains of
the Mandscheurl br•1ey were planted
by hand, at equal distances apart in
the experimental grounds, This
method gave au opportunity for each
plant to show its individuality. At
different stages of growth and when
ripe the plants were carefully ex-
amined, and the most promising ones
were selected and threshed, after
which the grain from the individual
plants was examined. A definite
number of grains from each of the
selected plants were sown separately
in the spring of 19(14. The best per-
formers, in decreasing numbers,
were continued in the tests from year
to year. The plant selected by the
writer in 1903 as probably the most
outstanding individual was included
in the seeding list as number 21, and
the progeny gave such excellent re-
sults that it was introduced into the
:o -operative experiments in the
spring of 1906 where it has been in -
:luded continually since that date
ander the name of O.A.C. No. 21. It
gave such good satisfaction through-
out Ontario that the farmers in-
creased it rapidly and for the last
few years there has been scarcely a
field of any other variety of barley
grown in the province.
Started From a Single Seed in 1903.
The O.A.C. No. 21 barley, which
was started from a single seed in
1908 is a six -rowed, bearded barley
with stiff straw and white grain of
good quality. In the experiments at
the College the common six -rowed
variety of barley has been surpassed
by the ltiandseheuri in a period of
thirty-three years by an average
ynald per acre per annum of ten
bushels, and by the O.A.C. No. 21,
in a period of seventeen years by
eleven bushels. Aecardin.g to re -
,ports of the Statlste.s Branch of the
Ontario Department of Agriculture,
the barley crop of Ontario has made
an actual increase in yield per acre
for the last twenty-one years, in com-
parison c-ith the two previous de-
cades of 17.33 per cent.,or an average
yield per acre per annum of four and
one-half bushels.—Department of Ex-
tension, O.A,.College, Guelph.
FEEDING FOR BACON.
Leave Litters With Sows for Eight
Weeks—Selection as Important as
Breed—Procure Sod for Feed in
Winter.
At the Ontario Agriculture Col-
lege all litters are left with the sows
until they are eight weeks old. Skim
milk and middlings are the most sat-
isfactory' feeds on which to start the'
newly weaned pigs. Rations are
made up with the idea of promoting
growth during the first four months
by using growth promoting rather
than fattening feeds until the pigs
are fire months old. Middlings, oats,
milk, whey, tankage and clover are
protein feeds and capable 01 building
bone and muscle. When the pigs are
well -' -grown at five months old the
ration is changed for the finishing or
fattening period. Two-thirds barley
and one-third finely ground oats
along with skim milk has been highly:
satisfactory. Tankage up to 8 or 19
per cent- has been successfully* and
profitably used when skim . milk was
not available.
In the experintentaI feeding with
swine at the Ontario Agricultural
College it has been found that there
is but very little difference in the
cost of gains with the various breeds,
but there is a difference in the grade
of product, which means more money
for the kindthat grade "select."
Four hundred pounds of meal or its
equivalent produced one hundred
pounds of gain in weight for four
breeds in the test. In cheapness of
gain the bacon breeds fully held their
own.
Before it freezes up store a wag-
gon load or two of good, tough, green
sods away:in the barn cellar, pit or
shed. Such will be very useful to
toss into the pig pens now and again
during the *later months. The pigs
need mineral matter and this is an
easy, cheap and. `emcient way to give
it.to then, T-2-Depart}nient, ot; ; xten
