The Tialeft 8 Day let
How twiny times a day a eew ehoold

seemingly will ever ramie eo. Before
the 'epirit oa inquiry and inveetiga-
tion :became as etunpent ate it le te-day
a eettlement was thought to have been
reached, at twiee a day. Now it ap-
pears that some 'cows ean be milked
with SUCcen ee to yield three and
•even four times daily. Nor does it ap-
pear that the question of quantity
and quality can be definitely decided
by rule oe rote. 13y Record of Per-
formance report No. 12 issued by the
Live Stook Branch at Ottawa it would
appear that of 61 mature Ayrehires
28 were milked three thnee daily, a
certain number of days eleven of
them below 100, eleven belew 200 mid
over 100, four ova! 200 and under 300
and two over 300. Of the foureyear-
old Ayrshires one that was in milk
365 days was milked three times daily,
producing 12,608 lbs. of milk, 519 lbs.
of fat, a percentage of 4.11 of fat.
Another was milked three times a
day for 321 days out of 332 in milk,

other was milked theice daily for 252
days and • three for a very limited
number of days out of a total of 24.
Of 31 three -year-olds only five were
milked thrice daily and of these but
tie° over 100 days. Of 63 two -year-olds

Seed Certification of Potatoes.
The measure of success attainable
in the growing of seed potatoes de-
pends not only even the practice of
best cultural methods, although this is
a most important censideration, but
ale° upon the amount of attention paid
to the several diseases to -which po-
tatoes, both plants and tubers, are
subject,
To assist -in this later phase of the
work, a number of inspectors special-
ly trained in the identification of po-
tato diseases and in the application of
control measures recommended, are
again visiting the:ileitis of all growers
wale have made application for such
assistance this season. The accom-
plishment of several purposes is the
object of this essistance being ren-
dered, chief among which may be men-
tioned: (1) the grower is definitely ad-
vised by the inspector with regard to
tho condition of his crop and of the
nature of any disease found to be
present; (2) the grower is assisted
ill the eradication of all diseased, weak
or otherwise undesirable plants from
his fields, if be so desires; (3) grow -
times a day for every day in the year,
producing 19,935 lbs, cf noilk, 747 lbs.
of fat, a percentage of 3.74, another
four times 191 days and three times
for 40 days, another four times for
seed, a final examination is made by
an inspector at the point of shipping,
upon application by the grower. Pro-
vided the stock has been graded so
that a shipment of potatoes for seed
purposes contains no tubers under two
Ounces or, above twelve ouncesin
weight, a sufficient number of tags to
cover the number of bags or ether
containers necessary for the shipping
of the amount of potatoes inspected
is awed by the inspeetor and placed
by him upon the shipment. These tags
certify that the contents of the bags
or other containers td which they are
attached have been grown by the per-
son whose name appears on the tags;
that they have been inspected by an
officer of the .Departmare of Agricul-
ture and found to be sufficiently vig-
orous and free from serious diseases,
other pests and foreign varieties, to
warrant them being classed as No, .1
(or No. 2) grade seed potatoes.
An enhanced price to the grower
over that paid for ordinary stock, sat-
isfaction to the purchaser, the general
distribution of a high grade of seed

the country, and the acquirement of

a considerable seed trade with the
third was milked four times for 72
days and three tomes for 274 days out
of 346, a fourth and a fifth web e each
milked four times daily every day,
making three two -year-olds. so
handled. One of the latter produced
12,168 lba of milk, 539 lbs. of fat, an
average of 4.43, and the other 11,266
lbs. of milk, 448 lb's, of fat, a per-
centage of 8.98. One two-year-old
that was milked three times daily for
every day in the year prodeced 15,707
lbs. of milk and 635 lbs. of fat, a per-
centage of 3.04. Thirty-seven others
of the 70 two-year-old Holsteins en-
tered were milked three times daily
ear various periods up to 350 days.
Thus, it would appear that the num-
let: of daily milkings must depend
mainly upon custom, type, condition
and judgment.
Green Manure for Orchards.
The two principal functione•of green
manuring are the use of cover crops
in the orchard and as a blanket for
the land during winter, The plants
best suited for this purpose are un-
queetioningly the legume crops.
Eor fruit trees of all kinds the mos4.
important fertilising element is nitro-
gen. Through their nodule forming
bacteria, the legurninees plantdraw
into the ground and make quiekly
available for the trees, lenge quanti-
ties of the free nitrogen of the air.
And not only do the legumes in-
drease the amount of nitrogen in the
soil; they' are as good humus formers
as ean be planted. It ahould aleo be
noted that peactically ati legumes are
deep-rooted plents end hence bring up
mineral food from 'the sule-soil. While
the aoy-bean, the field amm'
o the field
pea, the crimen
eon clover, cl the ha
phtss, e,11 give good reeults in
orchard, the best of all legumes for
that purpose is the red clover.
The velem Of green inariure boa long
been recognized by Canadian frui.t..
growers. Neverthelesa, there is quite
generally throughout Canada e deatth
of cover mpg.' Ifortlenately thee% ie
et hand an ienniediate mid ecoltentical

United States, have been the results
noted during the several years the
work described. has been in progress.
By any one desirous of growing
seed potatoes with a view to cereificoa-
tion, the following points should be
particularly borne inanind:' (1) plant
only clean seed (particularly certifie.d
seed); (2) do not mix the varieties;
(3) practice seed treatment; (4) keep
the Colorado beetle and other insects
under contrel; (5) use Bordeaux mix-
ture. Strict attention to these points
will provide reasonable assmance th.at
the resulting crops will.figure well in
the inspe.ction and certification re-
cords, and, other conditions being
equal, the grower who eaten sena
crops in any of the field crop compe-
titions will soma a high percentage
of points at the hands of the judges.
Alt growers who have not yet avail-
ed themselves of the service of an
inspector, which are furnished free of
charge, are invited to communicate
with the Dominion Botanist.

The Home Life of Birds
BY ELSA G. ALLEN
77—C
Any one who watches a pair of to boys and girls who love the out -
Wachs at their nest tan scarcely fail doors. There is a great deal to be
to be impressed with the tireless and learned about the home life of birds,
devoted care given to the young. In- especially the care of the young. alma
deed, both poet and ecientist, and even of us, at some time, have attempted to
the meet disinterested abeervers, raise an unfortunate little nestling
agree that in the nesting season most deprived of its parents, and have
birds furnish a beautiful example of
devotion to the offspring and fidelity
to each other.
There are many popular beliefs,
however, which exaggerate the affec-
tion ef a bird for its mate. FOr ex-
ample, that the wild goose, having
lost its mate, will -never mate again;
and that the eagle, once deprived of
its first love, will never choose an-
other. While it is undo•uletedly true
that the same individttals often nest
together year after year, a is prob-
ably tleeir attachinent for the nesting
site, rather than any love for each
other, which causes them to remate;
for it is merely the homing instinct
which impels them to seek the same
place at the same time each year. It
sometimes happens., of course, that
one of the pair has been killed and
does not return to the old home. The
other one may then haunt the nesting
area in seeming grief, and if unable
to find another mate that season, such
sentimental stories may easily arise.
Only very few birds are believed to
mate for life and remain mated
throughout the year. The parrots are
a fanaliar 'exemple_of this true mono-
gamy among lairale, and in their na-
tive lands whole flocka can be seen
flying about in pairs at all seasons.
Even when hunted each bird eliegs to
le.arned how difficult itis, for, unlace
mammals, 110 bird can be raised on
milk. Indeed the amount of food and
the great variety needed by birds to
mainbain growth is a surprise to most
persons. When 100 Consider that it
requires only from one to two weeks
for a young bird to transform foam
a naked, squirming .bit of life to a
fluffy little fledgeling, we meat realize
that they need an almost phenomenal
amount of food, and we 'can appreciate
that the parents, life is a constant
search for food from earliest ray of
light anal dusk.
It .has been found that a young
robin requires its full weight of earth-
worms daily in order to grow, and all
young bird's require from oneshalf to
their full weight of food daily. This
makes it necessary foe the old bird's to
feed the young probably hunch -ale of
times a day. A pair of gembealcs
were seen to feed their young 426
times in one day, and a single house -
wren whese mate had been killed was
seen to feed her young 1,217 times
in fifteen hours and forty-five minutes.
Young birds may be said to. fall
into two classes, precocial and altri-
cial. Prececial young, for example,
those of grouse, glovers and sandpip-
ers, follow the parents about in a few
hours after hatching. .but altricial

animals. As with all animals, the fe- the parent bird feeds each one until
male usually takes the home taxes it is satisfied. The food moat be
more seriously; .but with a great many placnd fee down in the threat of the
species of birds, the male -emits with ycamg bird so that the motion of
the female from the time the net swallowing will be mede reflexly and
is started until the young are fully
fledged.
The males usually arrive first on
the nesting ground's and make ready
for the females 'by delving away rival
males from the areas which they have
selected for their own. The females
seem to decide on the actual meting
site, however, and when this great
matter is settled, both birds, in many
cases, set about building. Some do it
leisurely, as if they found plea.sure
itt prolonging the task. Phoebes, for
inatance, come back early in spring,
and although they do not begin to in-
cubate tomtit the beginning of May,
they are busy every warm, sunny day
carrying material with which to reno-
vate the elct net undee the eaves of
some reeky ledge. Other :birds allow
only a couplie.tot days for building, and
then work indefatigably until the
home is 'complete.
18 must not be inferred', however,
that all birds lead the touching home
life that we see omong most of the
common songebirds. Sonia especially
game birds, are normally polygamous,
and, after neatin.g, the males desert

tremendous service to agriculture, for

Other birds, like the goldfinches and

thus do they also help the farmer.
