In sum- mer it may be provided by free range on the .farin, but in winter it must be supplied by some form of stored feed. Roots, cabbage, sprouted oats, and al- falfa bay are cominonly used for win- ter feeding. Probably alfalfa is the most valuable element in the winter poultry ration, and if the following precaution is taken in feeding it may he used in unlimited quantity. .For „several years it has been the practice at the Experimentai Station at Harrow to chop .fine the young, al- falfa shoots for the baby chicks and to use .crit alfalfa hay as the sole means of supplying the necessary roughage and -greens for 'winter egg production. A good grade of second or third coifing hay is nun through a cutting box in about half-inch lengths, steeped for twenty-four hours by en- tirely covering with cold water, strain- ed, and fed in shallow tubs, for the best results it is fed immediately after LONDESBORO Funeral of Mrs. Geo.

Ontario Seed Grain After a careful survey 101 the seed situation for the spring of 19318, the Department 'finds that 'there are suffi- cient oats and barley in the province to look after the seed req.uiretnents. This is dependent on every farmer taking immediate steps' to have the best of his grain cleaned and set aside for hi$ seed. :Many, appear to think that 'because their grain this year is off color and a little under standard in tveight that it .will not make euitable seed, but tests already made show that when this off -colored and under- weight grain has been thoroughly cleaned up .to a 50 per eent cut in some instances, good seed. was secur- ed which germinated as high as 90 per cent. 1.1 this work is done now the cleaned out grain can be 'used for feed.
