Some Outstanding Varieties of iriehf
Crops.
Rye. -01 tho spring varieties of
rye, the 0. A. C. No. 01 has not only
given the highest average yield or
grain per acre at the college but has
surpassed the common spring rye in
the co-operative experiments
throughout Ontario in each of Ole
past nine years, the average being
practically three bushels per acre in
favor of the former.
Field Peas. -The Canadian Beauty
variety of field peas is one of the
best of the large, smooth, white
kinds. The Arthus•, originated at the
Central Experimental Fern) at Ot-
tawa., is coming into prominence. it
is a medium late white pea of me-
dium size. The Golden Vine is a
small white field pea and one or the
most suitable for mixing with oats
it the production of green fodder or
of hay by using one bushel of peas
and two bushels of oats per acre,
The Golden Vine peas and the 0,A,C.
No. 72 oats nnaalte an admirable
combination.
Field Beans. -The Small White
pea bean is the commercial variety
of Ontario and Is One which is grown
extensively, The Pearce's improved
Tree bean Is a medium late large
yielding variety, producing large siz-
ed white beans of excellent quality.
This variety has given excellent re-
sults in some Localities.
Buckwheat. -Tho Silver 13111
buckwheat produces a grain of ex-
cellent quality and is used eunsider-
ably throughout the pro ince. The
Rough buckwheat is not so well
known but it is an exceedingly heavy
yielder producing about fifty per
cent, larger yield of grain per acre.
than the Silver Hull, Although the
last named variety is a high yielder,
the grain possesses w thick hull and
is not of an attruei:ive appcarance,-

Dairying In June.
Cows in clover or good June -grass
pasture require very little atteutiou.
This is the ideal month for dairy
operations. ..More mills and better
milk, are produced In the month 8f
Jane, than at any other time of the
year, in Ontario. I1 there are any
hot days, be careful to cool both
mills and creast, by setting in ice
water, or cold well water. Sour milk
and cream are too frequently, sent to
the factory. Don't'forget to wash the

Dashwood, July 19 -While dos-
sing a creek during the recent hoot
a farmer near town lost a roll of
hills, valued at $100. The roll fell
into the water and floated down
stream a•considerable distance. Lat-
er: on the bilis were picked up by a
neighbor, some hanging on shocks • of
grain, some en clots of earth and
some oe the fences. The finders re-
turned the money -to the loser.

It is neCOSSaI`y to collect1 the Seed -

strumeuts that have been sterilized
by boiling; and placing the material
in a container that has been shni-
larly, sterilized, Il this is not done,
the harmless bacteria which are
Present everywhere, will gain en-
trance to ,the tissue, and will mul-
tiply very rapidly and • completely
overgrow the disease producing ones,
which do not as a rule multiply as
readily under the same conditions,
and on examination at the laboratory
nothing may be found but these
harmless organisms.
A complete report should always
accompany any material to be exam-
ined. The absence of definite in-
formation about the ease causes de-
lay, and makes it difficult to give
reliable information, because there
are a,great .many different kinds of
disease producing bacteria, the 'iso-
lation of which requires different
technic, whereas specific information
may assist the aoarch for the.. prob-.
able causative agents.' • --•
Material Intended for examination
must not' be placed in preservative
flniclb, which would destroy the bac-
teria. Largo specimens, such as an
entire organ, should be removed with
sterile. instruments, at once wrapped
in several layers of cheesecloth nlols-
toned with a 10 per cent. formalde-
hyde solution, then in oiled or wax
paper and packed in Inc and saw-
dust, It is often lacor:venieut to use

end pack in shavings. Material
should never be placed in unsteriliz-
ed packing material unless protected
from contamination by one of thea°
methods. Small specimens should be
placed in wide-mouthed bottles or
fruit Jars that have been boiled and
cooled before using and no preserv-
ative of any kind should be used as
it would penetrate small specimens
and kill the bacteria.
Pus, -Pus for examination may be
forwarded in a small bottle, Pre-
viously sterilized by bolting. Care
should be taken to avoid getting it
on the outside of the bottle or stop-
per, as this is at least unpleasant,
and may be dangerous, to handle.
Rabies. -The head or 0 dog sus-
pected of rabies should be wrapped
in a protective covering of cheese-
cloth or oiled Draper, (packed in
crushed ice and sawdust during hot
weather) and sent as quickly as pos-
sible to the nearest laboratory doing
this work-in Ontario the Provincial
Board of health Laboratories, at

branches at Fort William. Sault Ste.

FEED LAYiNG PULLETS
They Need Extra Pool! to Keep
Laying.
Wheat lwcl corn Pre1rrroi by Paul:,

A pullet requires more feed than
it leen, if it is lutendecl that the
Millet shall produce eggs. A bird
to lay well must have a surplus of
teed over and above .buds ntaI nton-
ance. The excess of feed above body
maintenance eves either' tewar'de
growth, 1at, or egg production, Why
the pullet )requires more feed than
the hen Is because her growth is
usually not complete when she ba-
glds laying.
Poultry prefer wheat and corn Lo
almost any other, grain, bet a not
dopon Is on what they were feet when
growing. Certain feeds they never
have seen they do not relish, usual-
ly, when first fed, Renee one per -
501'5 hens eat oats or barley much
better than their ueightier's. The
available grain feeds on the. farm
are corn bu°c he
at barley, and
oats. Good wheat cannot b0 used.
The non -milling wheat, such as that
which is sprouted, or very small, may
be used up to twenty-five per cent.
of the. ration.
Poultry leads are divided into
two Classes: one, whole or cracked
grains, commonly called scratch
feed; and the other, ground grains,
commonly called mash,
Scratch feeds are generally fed
night and morning, and are scat-
tered it straw in order to induce the
birds to scratch or take exercise, A
mixture of two or more kluds at
grain usually gives better results
than one single grain, largely be-
cause individual birds' appetites vary
from day to day. A good mixture for
the winter month might -contain 0.5
much as fifty' per cent, good corn,
either wholeor cracked; if corn
weld not be 'had, 'and the' blyds
were accustomed to eating buck-
wheat, the burckwlteat would answer
nearly as well, or . one could use
twehty-live per cent. bnckwlieat and
twenty -Ileo per cent. corn. To_ the
corn -or buokwheat could be added
twenty-1We per cent: of barley, tea
per cent. of wheat screenings, and
fifteen per cent. of good oats. If
one was obliged to do so, almost any
of the grains could, be fed alone
with the exception of oats. There
is too much hull or bush on oats
to use entirely as a single feed.
At present for a mash feed we
are using the standard hog feed. If
the ground grains are to be fed moist
or mixed with cooked household
refuse then the mixture should be
one that will -mix to a crumbly state,
but if fed dry in an open hopper the
above is not so important.
The mash feed is the one where
the animal meals are generally
given. The amounts vary from ten
to twenty per' cent. of the mixture.
The gunnel meals used are com-
monly high grade tankage and beef
scrap. Where one has plenty o1
skimmilk or buttermilk the other
animal feeds are unnecessary. Some
use green cut bone; cooked refuse
meat, such as livers, lights, beef
heads, etc.
A very good mash can be made
of one part each by measure of
shorts, barley meal, and ground
oats. Corn meal could be used in
the place of the barley or with it.
If one is short of green food or
roots, it would be well to add one
part of bran. Perhaps the simplest
mash to feed from au open hopper
is rolled or crushed oats. We have
used this, when the birds had milk
to drink, for a number of years with
excellent results.
Laying hens require plenty of
green feed. This green, succulent
feed, is very important. Too much
grain and uo green rood at times
is very dangerous. Cabbage is one
of the best green feeds. Roots are
very good, b)tt Mover leaves should
be within reach as well as the roots.
Sprouted oats are used to a large
extent on poultry farms. When the
binds get accustomed to a green and
succulent food it is generally wise to
give them all they will eat. A pen
of fifteen pullets will eat a fair-sized
head of cabbage: almost every day,

Keep your pen sweet and clean,
but not drafty. Cleo the hens plenty
