Rules for Feeding Dairy
Cattle.
The Dominion-Animar limebandrnan
sets down in No. .68 of the Experi-
mental Farm eircelars three very co -n-
oise and explicit- rules for feeding
dairy cattle. The first is: Never over' -
feed; the Second: Feed according to
the individual neecia sm1 ,desires of
each animal; 'and tho, third: Feed re-
galarly.both as to.the hours of feed-
ing an& the chaeacter of the feeds.
helative to the last; ,the Animal Hus-
leindman points out that sudden
changes in , feeds are liable to cause
not only a less in gains-er preduction,
but often induce ailments such
as diarrhoea, bloat, milk fever, ete.,
all of whieh are destribeci, in the etre

teachers have at some time. felt -the

The reputation of dusting has in the
past been the reputetio.a of sulphur
dust; it might be best to enumerate
genie of the advantages, questionable
p`Oints and disadvantagei a dusting -
The advantages ordusting that are
generally appreciated are:
1. Greater speed in application. A

2. Mere suitable timing of applies, -
tions. • Owing to the rapidity of e70 -
plication the grower ean time his ap-
plieations to better suit tho weather
and the stage of the fruit.
3. Leas :waste time. Dusting 4e00-
tio3ss' should, be,done during weather
unfit for. most agricultural field opera-
tions such as immediately following
a 0015.00 very early in the neorning,
while spraying operations require the
best a weather. •
4. twos cost of machinery. The
initial. cost of dusting outfit is two-
thirde 'that of a sprayer, the cost 61
upkeep is lees, the gasoline used is
less and the duster is a longer -lived
machine.
5. Lighter weight of dusting -appar-
atus. A. dusting outfit with dust and
operators on it dues not weigh move
than oue-third the weight of a sprayer
ready for operation, so it can be taken

the dusted and Sprayed plots is,,exact-
