(Contriibuted by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The quantity of straw consuraed by the live stock ot Ontario amounts to many thousand tops each year.It is ;;;;portant as a feed, but unfortun- ately its dame is frequently ever. rated. Straws, the byproducts of different grains, have different values, The line of demarcation between hays, straws apd fodders is not clear, but generally speaking straw is the by-produst of ripened, grain or forage plants,, being made up of the drY leaves ,and stems. The nearer the plant ,is. to the mature condition at 'bine of harvest the lower the feed- ing .value. beeauae 0 the Concentra- tion of the nitro ;,eltous and fat pro= pt rtiea in the developing and ripening seed. *mew Beet When put' Early. To • straw .fr ant over -ripe grata is generally bard in character, unpalat- able and indigestible;; while the atre,w from grains cut on the green nide are softer, ,more palatable, and gee- erally cuntatu a higher percentage of digestible matter. The hard eondition of soma varieties of straw causes such to be almost useless as a feed. Even if such fodder has a feed value, that value cannot be satisfactorily ex- tracted by the digestion processes of our domestic annuals. Varieties of Straw Fed. The straws generally used for stock feeding are oat, barley, wheat, pee. and glover, Qtbere such as. timothy, Oats bean and rye straws are some- times used, but with indifferent res :stilts. Qat straw, the best of the var- sous straws for feeding, carries con- a-iele+rable,feed value as indicated by enemical analysis, but unfortunately a large percentage of the uaurisbing properties cannot be extracted by the digestion processes of our domestic animals. What is true of oat straw is. more pronounced with the other vaeletles of straw, the carder and drier such are the less the animals can A:lamet from them. Oat Straw Is a Good Bulky Feed. Cheap Ice For the Farmer. Farmers who have not already Gone so shouldprepare to lay by a .store of ice for cooling milk and tor house- hold use next sumhh er. lee cost of harvesting and storing ice is low when compared with the saving ef- fected.

One pond or stream and one set of •toesle'evilleenswer- for all. ; Tbd equip- ment necessary for harvesting and storing ice consists simply of saws, tongs, and iron bars for pushing the blocks of ice around. .A rough board enclosure ten feet square and dight feet high will hold sufficient ice to provide fifty pounds per day for 130 days after allowing for a reasonable amount of wastage. An important fact to be remembered is that the smaller the quantity of ice stored the larger isthe proportion of waste.. :The bottom of the enclosure should be covered with a foot of saw- dust, and a foot of space left between the boards and the ice, which should also be filled with sawdust. The ice 'should be similarly covered. The drier the sawdust the better. If the soil beneath the enclosure is imper- vious clay,`a layer of gravel under the sawdust is advisable.

Wheat straw has a lower value than barley straw, and serves to give bulk and a small part of the required nourishment to the animaL Wheat straw as a supplement to roots and silage in winter feeding plays an im- portant part in the maintenance of young and dry stock. Rye straw is generally so hard and indigestible as to be of little use as a stock feed. Clover and other legume straws while containing compounds of considerable fee.d value are frequently so hard and unpalatable that the animal can make only partial use of them. Pea and 'vetch straws are generally the most valuable .of the legume straws.

Vegetable Matter. - ' The. advantage of matter in the soil may be surllmed up as follows: It aids aeration, retains moisture, prevents baking, provides conditions suitable' for bacteria, aids decomposi- tion of soil particles, supplies plant food, deepens soil layer, prevents leaching, washing and drifting. Every opportunity to, return to the soil vegetable matter of any sort should be taken advantage of by all farmers having any respect: for • the soil of their field. Continuous grain cropping: de- creases the productivity of sells. This is due largely to the reducing in quantity of the fresh vegetable mat- ter in the soil that is essential to chemical and bacterial action.
