Grain Mixtures
ares
For Ensilag
In districts -where, owing to co
moist weather during the summ
months, corn is uncertain, mixtur
of grain such as oats, peas and vett
will usually give better results as
ensilage crop. In general such mix-
tures will grow at ]ower tempera-
tures than corn, and on land where
surface water is readily disposed of,
are not harmed by frequent preci-
pitation and continued dull weathe
.Although comparatively low yieldin
on a green weight basis, grain mi
tures aro relatively high in dry m
ter, and at theDominion Experi-
mental Station at Lennoxville, have
during the hast five years produced
more dry Natter, or material of ac-
tual feeding value per acre than corn
and slightly less than sunflowers.
Being in} own in the sante mantel as an
(patina*.
e 1 un ,rep they have pro -
von excellent nurse crop: for seeding
to grasses and clover, and of course,
do not require hoeing or eultivatin;•
during the growing period. Accord-
in,e']y, such mixteros can lc grown
with less labour than other ensilage
crops, 1)111: owing to the i11.th coat of
the seed, particularity peas and
vetch, the cost of production per ton
of dry matter, as determined at
Lennoxville, is on the whole high,
having proved to be more than sun-
flowers but less than corn.
the range being from 1.0.1 to 7.83
per cent. In view of the -high price
e rel' vetch sr•od it is doubtful if its use
is advisable in this district. Better
of malts have been obtained by in -
or creasing the amount of peas, but if
es ' this is carried beyond a bushel of
,h ;was to two bushels of oats, the mix -
an • ture will lodge vert' easily.
Experimental work•with grain mix-
tures is being eontinued at the Len-
noxville Station and additional in-
formation will, no doubt, be available
each year for several years to come.
1'• For the present, however, it would
g seem that the best results are to he
x- obtained with a mixture composed of
at -
Another desirable feature of grain
mixtures is that although they are an
excellent ensilage crop, they need not
be used as such if space in the silo
is not available. If cut while green
and cured they make excellent hay,
and, if standing well, the crop may
be allowed to ripen and will give a
fair yield of grain of high feeding
value.
The most commonly used grain
mixture :for ensilage purposes is a
combination, of varying proportions,
of oats, peas and vetches, generally
known as "0. P. V." As a rule the
varieties used are Banner oat, Prus-
sian Blue or Golden Vine pea and
spring vetch, comlmonlyknown as
Black Tares. From t:he results ob-
tained, during the past three years,
at the Dominion Experimental Stat-
ion at Lennoxville, Que., it is appar-
ent that such a mixture is not the
most satisfactory that may be used.
From the information at present a-
vailable it would seem that the value
of a mixture is governed by its abil-
ity to remain standing for, if the
crop lodges badly while quite green
pea and vetch vines rot quickly. I:f
much of the forage is in this condi-
tion it will make an ensilago of in-
ferior quality with a very disagree-
able odor. Accordingly, although a
mixture may make the best ensilage
while in the dough stage, if it lodges
while quite green it should be cut
and ensiled without delay, Of a ,large
number of mixtures that have been
tested, all those containing Banner
oat, peas and vetch, in varying com-
binations, have invariably lodges be-
fore the oat reached the dough
stage. On the other hand, mixtures
containing Gold Rain oat, and Golden
Vine or Chancellor pea and vetch
.have proven satisfactory in this re-
spect, and would apparently have
come to full maturity without lodg-
ing. Also the substitution of fifteen
pounds of the oats by fifteen pounds
of spring rye has'given excellent re-
sults.
It has been observed that although
Vetch is commonly used in suclt mix-
tures it actually forms a very small
percentage of the total crop, Of 11
mixtures containing vetch that were
tested in 1927, the percentage of .this
species, in the seeding ranged from
11.1 to 17.6, but the analysis of the
:forage showed that It formed a
Muth smaller percentage of the erop,

OF THE INDUSTRY,
Canada's aboriginal inhabitants,
the rcdmen, loft as legacies not only
the canoe, the snowshoe, and the to-
boggan, but also that valuable article
of food and wholesome delicacy,'
maple sugar. When the first settlors
arrived the Indians in springklme
.brought out their largest pots and'
kettles and proceeded to make syrup
and sugar. The passing on of this
knowledge was a boon to the settlers,
because in a land that was well sup-
plied with nail and game and wild
fruit, and in wbich grain and wig -

,tables soon become abundant, the
two food necessitates difficult to ob-
tain were sugar and salt. In addi-
tion to their immediate uses these
commodities were necessary to pre-
serve foods; sugar for the conserv-
ing of fruit, and salt. for curing fish
and moats. Sons of pioneers have
left on record how that, after the
year's supply of maple sugar had
boon made, the fruits in their season
would be preserved in pioneer style.
The strawberries, ripening first,
would be boiled in sugar and the
conserve 'then poured into keg and
covered with a layer of powdered
maple sugar. Following the straw-
berries came raspberries, blackber-
ries, blueberries, and pluses and ,ran
berries, all' of which would be treat -
1 ed in like manner; and the hope of
Idle children of the family was that
before winter arrived the keg would
;be quite full of alternate layers of
conserve and sugar. In those days
I no thtdity housewife thought her
family's needs were provided for,
unless she had stored on a high shelf
in a cool place a row of `loaves" of
maple sugar made by cooling the
said sugar in mint pails.
As settlement advanced and popu-
lation increased maple sugar snaking
came to have a social significance.
"Sugaring -off" time was made the
occasion for an evening party of
young people in the woods, 'when ;m-
lcr the thin disguise of assisting 1110'
sugar maker, there was much sleigh -
riding, racing of horses to the sugar
' "bush," eating of hot sugar cooled
i in snow, paying of forfeits and gen-
1 oral tel jollity, It was in fact a sort of
!spring :festival marking the demise
!of ]Ring Winter. After the season's
supply of syrup and sugar had been
made, buckwheat cakes and maple
syrup became during tale spring
months the stational breakfast dish.
t According to the Forest Service of
the Department of the Interior the
sap of all the staples contain sugar
and in pioneer days, in times of scar-
city, even the Manitoba staple, the
least productive of the family in this
respect, was tapped for the purpose
of boiling sap to obtain sugar. In
commercial practice, however, only
the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is
tapped for sugar snaking.
With the passing of the pioneer
stage and the opening of trans lporta-
tine routes the industry became re-
laitivrly less lynlportant and maple
food products ----sugar, syrup, butter
tend cream -are now generally con
1 sidered luxuries but with increasing
1 °I'U atien and and wealth the 114:(•-
' k1:t is continually broadening, The
jmost popular form of the product of
maple stip is syrup, the manufacture
of which has now reached a high
sante of excellence and efficiency, It
'is sold in sealed containers, glass jars
and bottles, and, like -like honey, has
:its light and dark varieties. Most
people like the thin almost colourless
:liquid, but others, remembering
hbumpy days in the woods, ,prefer a
thicker syrup with a rich amber,
!the
and a good "bouquet," and
the modern maple 'sugar maker is
to supply' both demands,

duct. The snaking of maple deliea-
cies is a woods industry which con
serves the forest, and whether the op-
erations be conducted in the most
modern plant, or in .the old-£ash1aned•
sugar -house, the product is redolent
of thrilling adventure and gloridus
romance in early Canada.
