The Si- berian Oats, Mandscheuri barley, Heel - son beardedspringwheateendthe Clouds early yellow Dent, mannnoth Cuban, Wisconsin earliest white Dent,and Sal- zer's North Dakota varieties of corn, which are now becoming so popular in Ontario, were imported by the Experi- mental Department and, after being thoroughly tested, were distil bitted in small quantities. The present system of co-operative experimental work in agriculture was started in 1886 with 66 plots, which were situated on twelve differeetfaxeus in Ontario. Since that date,however, the work has increased from year to year. and in 1803 there were 11,124 plots, which were situated on 2,260 farms. We are again prepared to die- eibu te material for co-operative experi- ments with fertilizers, fodder crops, roots, grains, grasses and clovers. Interested persons in Ontario who wish to join in the work may select any one of the experimente for 1897, and . inform the director at once of the t ; choice made.

The item reads that the average price paid the patrons during 1896 was 6.35 which is equal to 19.20 cents per lb for butter. This might be all right in some uncivilized part of the world but will not take here. Mr. Robt. Down,of the 2nd con. of Usbaree, on seeing the state- ment decided, to make a test and weighed 500 lbs of milk and setting the same in the ordinary cream cans, sent the cream to nay factory and theresults were 28.85 lbs of butter, which at 10.20 as per the Rodgerville statement would be 00.43 cents per 100 lbs milk; add to this 37.50 cents per 100 lbs for skim milk, which it is worth for hog feed according to Ex -Governor Hoard's statement at the Dairymen's Convent- ion at St. Marys this winter, would bring the actual value of the milk to $1.28 per 100 lbs. One of the Rodger- ville patrons kindly handed me his milk statement for the months of May, June, July, Aug., Sept. and Oct. The quantity of milk sent to the cheese factory was 15,105 pounds and the amount of money received was $76.23 which is just 50,46 cents per 100 lbs of milk. Therefore the difference between sending milk to cheese factory and the creamery is 77.47 cents per 100 lbs of milk in favor of the creamery, or in other words if the patrons of my creamery had only received 3 cents per pound for their butter, counting the skim milk at what it is worth, they would havemade more money then by sending their milk to the cheese factory at prices received for cheese during 1896. While my patrons did not receive 19.20 cents per Pe for their butter, they received according to the above test an average for the season of 99.50 cents for 100 lbs of milk or nearly double that of their neigh- bors who sent their milk to the cheese factory. These are hard, solid facts and are worthy of the farmers, con- sideration. Yours truly, A. Q. BOI3IER. I. • II r. POSITIVE PROOF. Messrs. T. Milburn & Co., Tax -onto.
