The results of recent experiments on the effect of a varying supply a nutrient e at different periods in the growth of the corn plant aro just re- ported, In this work corn was grown to maturity in large cylinders contain- ing pure hite and.

The standard solution was sufficient to produce normal cern plants, while the weak solution "'Wee barely strong onough to keep the plants alive and produced very little growth.

At the end of sixty days the solution* were again changed until 'all possible combina- tions of growing periods and strength of solution were obtained. The results of this experiment show that plants having a good supply of plant food during the middle period or front the time the plants were thirty to sixty days old usually made the :best growth. This period, there- fore, is proved to bit the time at which the corn plants. need the greatest sup- ply of plant food. Where -the plants had plenty of feed during the first sixty days they would take up most of the mineral nutrients necessary for their development, only small additional amounts being re- quired to bring them to maturity.

The email farm is not a good proposition for turkey railsin.g as the birds will range on the neighbors' laud and fro- geently eat quite a large amount a grain, The farmer -with a large acre- age will often have a woodland and clover field just right for the forag- ing of turkeys. Young turkeys need feeding about four times each day until they are five or six weeks. old., Aftearathat they will follow the turkey hen in her foraging and ,pick up much of their living from. tho woods and meadow. Turkeys have a ravenous appetite for bugs and seeds and it is very expensive to raise them properly unless they have the advantages of a broad range. The feed' for the young turkeys can at first con- sist of breail and milk squeezed:nearly dry. Later rolled oats will be of bene- fit to the young birds. As they grow older wheat. screenings and cracked corn can be fed two or three times each day. When screenings can not be abtsdned very goodvresults are ob- tained from the commercial scratch grains such as are used for the laying hens. When turkeys are strong and well feathered they will -spend much of their time' on the range and may wan- der far from the house. They should be encouraged to roost near home -as a safeguard against thieves. If they are given only. one meal a day duting the summer season it should be at night, as this helps to coax them home to roost. If the turkeys roost in a colony house it should be open clear across the front to Insure a plentiful supply of air. Enough roosts must be pro- vided to prevent overcrowding. If the roosting place is • not satisfactory to the 'birds, their instinct will soon send them to the trees at night and then it will- be very difficult to teach them to roost in any kind of a house. Some turkey breeders build a roof on poles and then cover the sides with fine - mesh wire. Th -is keeps the rain from the birds 'but furnishes an abundance of fresh air.

Turkeys are an asset on the farm that is troubled with grasshoppers as the amount of these insects which they will clean up in a few weeks is very large.

When grain is high there plenty of plant food was available the is a temptation to -cut it out of the weight of -tops was twace that of the turkey's ration, at least until fatten- ing time. Young turkeys frequently receive no attention as soon as their crop seems to contain enough food which they have found on the range. A regular growth should be .promoted from the time they are hatched. If young turkeys are stunted it is very difficult to bring them back into thrifty condition, even with the best feeding methods. Turkeys are dis- couraging to the farmer that endea- vors to raise large numbers of them without work, but they are profitable in the hands of the grower who will keep vigorous unrelated .breeding stock and feed enough grain to give The farmer who has sufficient acre- the birds a chance to grow. roots. At the time of maturity the weight of tops was from three to seven times as much as the roots, de- pending upon the amount of available plant food.

Barron, of Brantford, who is still a young man in his twenties, started farming a few years ago with- out farming experience and with lim- ited financial resources. It was hard uphill work at first. He had only com- mon, grade cattle. The local banker had a lot of faith in the gritty young man, however, and ono day called him into his office and informed him that if he would buy a few head of pure- bred cattle, the 'hank would back him. He took -the plunge and among his purchases was Bella Pontiac, She freshenedas a four-year-old and fin- ished that year ender government in- spected test with 20,129 pounds of milk and 1,018 pounds of butter. After being dry only se short time, she freshened again and started on her big year's work. Bella Pontiac, a pureabred Holstein cow, is the new champion butter cow of the world. For six years this honor has rested with Duchess Skylark Ormsby, the great cow owned by Sen- ator Hackney, of Minnesoba, with her wonderful production of 1,506.86 pounds of butter in one year. The new titlesheld,er is a Canadian cow owned by ft rising young breeder, Mr, T. A. Barron, of Ontario. The new high meek is 1,565 pounds of butter from 27,000 pounds of milk, And connected with this new record is a real, humane interest story. Bella was housed in an ordinary farm bun end milked four times a day by the young farmer whose fin- ances did not permit of neglect of field work to give superlative attentions to his cow. It was a farmer's test under farm conditions all the way through. Her production varied from 104.24 pounds of fat in July, her first month, to 124.8 pounds in November, her best month, and in the following March the produced 121.83 pounds of fat. The last of the silage hat theh been fed and, in spite of an increased al- 1oweiico of toots, the -fat •dropped, to 84.88 pounds and 78.51 pounds in April and May.

A third Act extends the period dur- ing -Which compensation shall be paid for animals officially slaughtered to prevent and check contagion to May 24, 1924, or for three years. At the same session appropriations for the purpose of agriculture, including the $1,100,000 divided, among the prov- inces under the Agricultural Instruc- tion Act, ,amounting to $6,649,214.50 were passed.

In the meantime, Mr. Barron has been successful in malting a few good records with other members of his small herd, He has made some good sales. He is not so hard pressed RS he was when his banker advised him to get good stock or quit, He is in a position to choose between, sailing Bella and her two daughters, or of keeping all three and developing great herd on this foundation.

"Why •can't you see me; I'm eight beside you," and Doris reached out and touched her mother's hand. But poor Mrs. Blake! At the touch of a hand the poor lady toppled over in a faint, and it was some time be- fore Doris could, bring her to. The more Doris tried to- comfort her the more she shivered. No wonder; the little girl ayes per- fectly invisible.. Imagine! "I must be dreaming that I hear Doris talking," murmured Mrs. Blake. "PK just go •downstairs and try to find the child!" Paying no attention to Doris's conversation, she rushed down the steps', and now it was Doris's turn to be frightened, for ihe was sure that her mother must be very sick. Without thinking, she twisted the little ring to the •left and' the next minute had flown out of the window so fast that she•didsnot•have time to even breathe.

GAGE In most fruit -growing districts there is not enough bernyatd manure to maintain the soil fertility, and some other method must be used. Cover crops add organic matter to the soil, and if they are leguminous crops, also add nitrogen. They do not altogether replace barnyard manure, but will da more toward keeping the orchard up to o high standard of pro- duction than any other one method we can use. The mainteaance of the productive power of soils depends in a large de- gree upon the upkeep of thevegetable matter in the soil. Humus is one of the last stages in the decomposition of the vegetable and animal matter in the soil, and its benefits may be sum- med up about as fellows: Effects of Good Drainage. A well -drained soil rich in humus is also tacit in nitrogen; evidence shows that, in the 'process of the formation of humus, acids are produced which are capable of dissolving mineral plantfood, and in all probability this is how they become available to the plant; humus increases the water - holding capacity of light soils by con- solidating them and making them less porous. It acts as a soil sponge; it ameliorates heavy soils, making them less liable to bake and. puddle, so that proper aeration is secured; humus generally increases the warmth of the soil. The dark surface draws more heat than the lighter -colored one; humus furnishes food material for .bacterial action in the scol. Many writershave told us of the many valuable features of alfalfa as an orchard crop. Because of expel.- ience and observation 'with this crop, I must disagree with these men, and believe that too often their recommen- dation has been based upon theory rather than practice. Generally speak- ing, alfalfa has not proved to lie a good cover cropfor the average soil and orchardist. A few of the chief reasons are as follows; Alfalfa ffir Cover Crop. When planted alfalfa is usually put in as a permanent cover crop, and had proved seacessful on a deep soil with rut abundant supply of moisten dui'- ing the summer months, The success on these soils had led many to sow alfalfa on the lighter soils where the moisture supply is already deficient. Some orcharda have been transferred into hay fields, the alfalfa receiving more care erld thought than the orch- ard itself. Too much of the crop is removed from the land, We meet rentember that we must have sufficient Moisture to feed both the alfalfa:and the orchard during the dry summer months. There are very few orchards with soils capable of doing this, since orchards are usually located on the hilly land, or land well elrainea, rather than on bottom lands. The crop might be well enough if it were turned, under or disked into the orchard soil, but to think Of harVOSt- ing both fruit and alfalfa is out of the question. A Good Soil Builder.

Roosters eat considerable feed during the summer andi do not add to the egg production. This puts them in the same class with the cufi hens and they should be given the same treatment. At least ninety-nine per cent. of the roosters should bo either sold or eaten as teen as the breeding season has passed and all others shoultbe care- fully penned away from the bens.

The chase commercial fertilizer to replace the clover this green manure would mean several times the expense in- curred in this simple method. About ten pounds should be seeded per acre. Clean cultivation in the early part of the seasen, followed, by a cover crop later, is the most up-to-date and best method of handling orchard soiland can be used with good results more generally than any other system of soil management. Legumes and Non -Legumes. There are two -main types of cover crops that can be grown, the legumes antthe non -legumes. The legumes are all 'those plants which belong to tae same family, as the peas, vetches, beans, clover, etc., and the non -leg- umes all plants not included in this family. Legumes .are more valuable than the non -legumes, because they are capable of gathering nitrogen from the air, and when turned, under increase the nitrogen content of the soil. Rye is one of the .best of non - legumes. It grows readily on most soils, catches easily, is hardy, and furnishes a large amount of greenetuff to plow under jn ,the spring, besides furnishing an excellent mulch during the winter months. About ninety pounds per acre should be sown. Winter wheat is a good second, if rye be unavailable, sown at the same rate. Although buckwheat is a good cover crop on heavy land, it is 8 very poor winter protection. Rape is very good sown st the rate of six pounds per acre. Value of Vetch. Hairy vetch is an excellent legum- inous cover crop, and gives good re - suite. It isaxtremely nerdy, avill with- stand honsummer drought, and is a fast grower. Because of these features and its ability to gather nitrogen from the air, it is, perhaps, the best cover crop grown. It should ,be seeded at the rate of from twenty to twenty-five pounds per acre. Crimson chefer seeded at the rate of fifteen pounds per acre is also very good. Any crop that will make a good growth in the fall ancl early spring so au to give a largo amount of organic matter to turn under is n good crop to grow. July and August are the cover crop months, usually 'turning the ground end making it ready as early RS pos- sible, some giying it several cultiva- tions, thus conserving moisture and getting the soil into an excellent etato for the seeds to germinete.
