Head Office, Toronto. May Hold Seed Grain For Several Years Experiments show no serious Injury to germinating power, states J. D. MacLeod, Ont. Dept. of Agri- culture. The answer to the question re- garding t1ie germinating power of seed which has been held over on the farm for +two years or more may . be found In the following experi- ment stations in United States, England and Denmark, to eleteemiue the vitality of the seeds of cereals, clovers and timothy, when stored in dry storage for different Periods of time, says John D. MacLeod, seed expert of the Oat. Dept, or Agriculture, Toronto. Wheat and barley retained their vitality almost unimpaired for five years alter harvest.

In view- oR the informer- Hon. made available as a rehulh of the above eatpeiiments, it 'would appear that the farmers would be playing safe. However, in view of the very short time and small ex. pease involved, it is recommended that a representative sample of the bulk be germinated in order that one may be absolutely sure that seed. capable of germinating and ' producing .strong plants is shown.

Dr. McICw•nkey reviewed ,the soil cap achy of Ontario- farmlands for hay production and showed that hay Was thus the •cheapesit feed Ontario could produce. --o— DAIRY COW'S FARE How feed affects profits from the cow' becomes an acute ques- tion with the dairyman. The great est expense connected with dairy farming is the cost of the ration. It requires a good many years to. improve the breeding herd's, but we can change the feeding meth. ods in a season The simplest and easiest method of increasing the profit from the milking herd is to provide the animal's 'with ample feed which should be produced on the farm, where it can be pro- cured at the lowest .possible cost. While contemplating the seeding program at Ibis season, .consider the bill of tare, for the cow, as it aifeots• her profitable returns. The cheapest andbest source of roughage is found In silage alf- alfa and clover hay.
