Whitewash The
Barns Interior
Now'$ The Best Time of
Year—It's A Great Cleaner
and Purifier
Just now while the barns are all
empty of ilve stook is a good time
to whitewash the interior where
the animals are to be wintered.
Whitewash is a great cleanser
and purifier. It is cheap and easy
to appy, It lightens up the inside
al the barns and makes them a lot
more healthful and cheerful place
to work. In the absence of paint
it oar be need on the outside of a
building.
Clear All Litter Away
;Sweep down the cobwebs clean
out the corners of all rubbish, and
clear the floors and the mangers
of all litter. Give everything a very
thorough coating of whitewash.
Use, quick lime. A half -barrel is
best for making the whitewash.
The water should be put in firgt,
and then the lime, and it should, be
mixed with "a hoe alencett constant-
ly until it is thoroughly dissolved'.
Unless this is done the lime will
burn and not make the best white-
wash because it will not thorough-
ly dissolve.
For the best results in getting
the ,e'.:'tereaah to stick, use only
e nc:• h waver to dissolve the lime
int , r lhi•,k pa,•to and use skim -
mil' ser thinning it down to the

Weed Seeds
Must Be
Disposed Of
Immediately After Threshing
Is Compleetd—Burn
Or Bury Them
When threshing has been com-
pleted. and the machine moves on,
the farmer's first job should be the
disposal of vreed seeds removed all
daring the threshing, says j, D.
MacLeod, Crope Seeds and Weeds
Branch Ont. Dept. of Agriculture,
Toronto. The practice of shovelling
them outs;de the barn le too .pre -
'talent and should be discouraged,
When this is done, millions of the
seeds are carried by the wind, wa-
ter animals birds, and by man
himself and new areas are infest-
ed. Carelessness in the didposal of
weed seeds is one direct cause of
the weed problem. 'It is impotratn
that all weed seeds be gathered
up immediately after the mp11 has
left and burned or buried deeply.
Spraying Device Is Effective
Outdoor threshing is now com-
mon throughout Ontario. Much
can be said in ire favor. However,
if a field which is badly infested
with sow thistle or Canada thistle,
Is threshed from the atook an a
windy day, enough seeds will be
carried for miles to infest an entire
community, Where such conditions
exist, ,farmers are urged' to have
some consideration for their neigh-
bors and to seleot, if possible a lo-
cation which will prevent seeds
from blowing over adjacent farms.

Ontario Tries
Winter Barley
In response to inquiries about
the suitability of winter barley for
Ontario. Fr. Robert Keegan of the
Field; Husbandry Department, On.
tarso Agricultural College, gives
the following brief statemzent:—
Durdng recent years there ap
pears to be an Increasing interest
in winter barley in Ontario, and
some very high yields of grain
have been reported.
This crop has been in field
testa at the Ontario Agricultural
College dor many years, but has
not been unreservedly recommend-
ed to the (farmers of Ontario has no
variety yet tested has been hardy
enough to ensure a crop in sea-
sons following severe winters.
Experimental results at the Col-
lege and the experience od farm -
ere who have grown winter barley
lnlieate the following facts about
this crop:—
Ift is not as dependable a crop
as spring barley, but, when not
winter killed 11 produces excep•
tionally high yields.
The quality of the grain is gen-
erally excellent.
It can be grown on well drained
land 1n parts of the province
where the snow cover le good and
where winters are not too severe.
It matures very early and thus
gives an excellent opportunity to
control weeds by after harvest cul-
tivlabion.
Since summer cultivation is ner-
eseary to provide a goal seed bed.
growing this crop gives good con-
trol of weeds as partial summer
following can be practised both
before seeding and after harvest.
