•
One heated and twenty-two varieties
of Winter wheat have been tested at the
Ontario Agricultural College within the
past six years. Some of these varieties
have produced yields of grain which were
more than double those of other varieties
grown beside them on plots of the same
area. Nob only bas, there been a great
variation in the comparative yields of
grain produced by the different varieties,
but there hoe also been a marked differ-
ence in strength of straw, weight of grain
per measured bushel, value of grain for
milling purposes, etc., of the different
varieties tested. The resulte of these ex-
periments are published annually in
bulletin form and in the College report,
and are sent free to all members of
Farmers' Institutes in Ontario, by the
Department of Agriculture, Toronto.
The bulletin giving the results of the
winter wheat experiments conducted in
the Experimental Department, the past
year, is now in Toronto for publioation.
In tbo Fall of 1894 nine leading varie•
ties of Winter wheat were selected from
the kinds, which had been grown from
one to five years at the Agricultural Col-
lege, and were distributed throughout
Ontario for cooperative experimental
work. These were divided into two' sets,
with five varieties in each, the Dawson's
Golden Chaff being used in both sets to
form a basis by wbioh the results of all
the varieties conld be compared with one
another. Each person wanting to con-
duct an experiment stated in his appli-
cation which set he desired, and the five
varieties in the set selectedwere sent to
his address with full instruotfons for con-
ducting the experiment. The grain was
sown at the rate of bushels per acre
upon plots 1/160 of an acre in size.
Two bundred and forty-seven Winter
wheat experimenters have reported al-
ready this season. Of this number, one
hundred favored us with good reports of
successful experiments, eighty furnished
partial reports, and sixty-seven wrote of
failure or unreliable results. The names
of the succeesful experimenters and the
detailed results of the tests will be print-
ed in the anneal report of the Experi-
mental Union for 1895, which will be
published as an appendix to the Agricul-
tural College report.
The following table gives the compara-
tive yields of straw and grain per sore of
the Winter wheat varieties tested during
the past season on one hundred Ontario
farms :

As none except the one hundred good
reports of successfully conducted experi-
ments have been used in the preceding
mammary of results, they should be of
great valve and worthy of the thoughtful
attention of wheat growers in Ontario.
Much credit is due to the careful experi-
menters who sent us the full reports,
which have been used in this eumtnery.

1. Reports of successful experiments
with Winter wheat have been reoeivod
this season from thirty 'counties in On-

eleven West of the city of Gnelpb.
2. Tho Counties of Lambton, Middle-

hundred good reports reoeivod in 1895.
3. Of the two hundred and forty-seven
experimenters who reported the results of
their testa, only eight speak of wishing to
diecontinue the oo•operativo experimental
work, and muoh interest ie manifested
throughout.
4. Dawson's Golden Chaff, Early Gen-

Jones' Winter Fife gave the highest yields
of grain among nine leading varieties of
winter wheat torted throughout Ontario
for two years in 9uno081i00.
5. In average yield of Winter wheat
per more, Dawson's Golden Chaff stood
highest among eleven varieties tested
over Ontario in 1893, nine varieties in
1894, and nine varieties. in 1805, also
among fifty-three varieties grown at the
Ontario Agricultural College for four
'years in succession.
6. In the 00•operntive experiments for
1896, Dawson's Golden Chaff, Jones'

Milking Machine Tested,
President Mills, of the 0.A. 0. Guelph,
gives an interesting a000unt of a milking
machine recently tested at the dairy
school. He says
When the Hon. Thos. Ballantyne, of
Stratford, was in Scotland last spring he
had as opportunity to examine careful.
iy what is knowo as the Thistle Milking
Machine. He was pleased with the
work he saw the machine doing, and be-
ing anxious that Canada should be
abreast of the times, in everything per-
taining to the dairy industry, be suggest.
ed to the makers that they send a
machine to the Agricultural College,
Guelph, to be tested and reported upon.
The machine came, and was set up and
run for seven or eight days. This
machine was invented about four years
ago by Alexander Shiels, M. B. C. M., B.
Sc., of Glasgow, Scotland. It has been
tested by a number of competent judges
in different places, and is now being used
by some of the most prominent Scotch
dairymen. The company makes a hand
machine to milk four cows at once, and
a tbree.horae-power machine to milk ten.
1 have not seen the hand machine ; but
we have tested the power machine, and I
have no hesitation in saying that it does
its work very satisfactorily.
The machine is a large air pump of
special and peculiar construction—of
good quality, strong, substantial, and
well -made. It is set on a concrete foun-
dation, made of gravel, cobblestones, and
Portland cement, 3 ft. 8 in. by 4 ft. and
2 ft. deep, outside of our dairy stable,
close to the wall of the building, and a
abort distance from a row of fifteen cows,
opposite which there is another row of
the same number of cows witha feed pas-
sage between. A copper suction pipe
passes from the pump through the wall
into the stable and overhead to the pas-
sage between the two rows of oows.
From this main tube two smaller copper
tubes are carried along on the top of the
stall divisions, one above the necks of
each row of cows ; and in each stall at
the side of each cow, there is an opening
in this Dross -tube, from which a short
piece of smaller copper tube points down-
wards, slanting toward the passage be•
hind the cows. This smaller piece of
tube in each stall is controlled by a stop-
cock ; and to it a rubber pipe is attached
when milking begins. Tbie moveable
robber tube extends down to a heavy,
broad -bottomed tin pail on the floor. and
another rubber tube connects the pail
with tbe teatcups which are attached to
the udder.
For milking ten cows, ten pails and ten
eats of teat cups are used—five far each
row, of cows, so as to keep the two reeve
of cows working at the same time. It,
of course takes lees time to milk some
cows than others ; so, when a cow is
milked, the man in charge shuts the stop.
Dock, detaches the rubber tube, empties
the pail into a large milk -can standing
close by, removes the apparatus—the
rubber tube, pail and teat cups—to an-
other stall,
n-otber'stall, and places them in position
to milk another cow. In this way he
keeps on moving the pelts from 'stall to
atoll, one at a time, till all the cows in
his row are milked. Another man or
boy does the same thing in the opposite'
row. It is sot necessary, however, to
milk both rows of cows at onre. The
ten pails might all be used on one side,
in which case one man and a boy could
attend to them and keep his eye on the
working of the pomp.
Owing to the motion of a reducing valve
which is used for the admission of air at
regular intervals, tbo 'notion sots 3n a
series of successive pulsations, resembling
the action of the mouth of the calf in
sucking, or the hand in milking, and
varying in the proportion of 15 to, 5. As.
the suction morasses, the teat.oep con-
tracts, first at the top, and then gradual-
ly downwards to the bottom; forcing the
milk out of tbs teat ; and when it reach-
ee the maximum of 15, air is admitted,
which reduces it to 5, thereby partially
releasing the teat, and allowing it to fill
with milk again, In this way the milk-
ing is done naturally, quiolrly andithom-
ngbly without any 0nno mato to the cow,

to got luta the milk daring the process of

We used our portable farm engine in
making the test ; and we found that a
man and a boy could milk 26 owe in
from 20 to 26 minutes. I think it might
be arranged so that .one man could milk
nearly 0e many In the same time. We
weighed and tested the milk from each
0059, as usual, and found about the mane
quantity as was obtained by band, ib0t a
Marked falling oft in the percentage of
