"The field was sown about the first ,of May last spring. 'witha mixture composed of 1115. pounds of alfalfa, live Pounds of red clover and one pound of timothy. Nlo nurse crop was used'. and the tfieid had not been previously in alfalfa for fifteen years. No inocu- lation ryas used but an excellent catch resulted, Owing to dry weather the stand was on the thin side when the 'first cutting was made about .the first of July, At that time the plants aver- aged 50 inches in height and a crop of close to a ton per acre of cured, hay was taken off, Had there been the us- ual amount of ram Mr. Couse befievea' that twice this yield would have 'been secured, The hay was .of excellent quality, with plenty of valuable leaves. iAlded by ,timely rains the second growth was nmeh !Piney and thicker with much of the original seed, ap- parently, not erminati 1 ( until after the first cutting had been removed. While the first crop was almost en- tirely alfalfa, 1iy the 'Middle of sum- mer both the red clover and timothy began to appear. This crap was cut ha early 'October and averaging three tons of green feed per acre, or bet- ween a tort and a half and two tons of cured hay, .1fr, Couse estimated that one acre would provide pasture for a good milk cow• for 1140 days, if it was decided that the hay ('as not needed, This experiment secnts to prove that it is possible even in the face of dry weather to produce over two tons per acre of cored hay from the .first year's seeding.. if applied on a general scale it would indicate that winter killed meadows, on a scale like last year need. not he -_as. serious as is the cause today with the hay acreage very seriously 002(10ed. From every standpoint the experiment appears practical and in- dicates that year-old meadows, killed Hirt in early spring may be made to produce normal hay returns by Mod- erately heavy sowings without nurse crops. Furthermore, as a mixture ra- ther than straight alfalfa, is advised by Mr, Couse, the cost of the seed is very low, such mixtures selling for less than straight alfalfa or red clover. Fortunately for any farmer who ,nay wish to 341011' Mr. Con.se's example next spring ample supplies of home grown alfalfa seed are in sight for next spring, though red clover 15 go- ing to be scarce. Richest Farm Manure .Poultry manure is undoubtedly the richest produced on the farm, Poul - t)' manure, 'however, ferments very quickly, losing, if left exposed, a large proportion of its nitrogen as ammonia. This fact emphasizes the desirability of systematically and fre- quently cleaning off the boards the Heath the roost:, a plan that also con- duces to the general good health and thrift of the fowl. In sunnier the manure, previously mixed with loam to destroy stickiness and facilitate dis- tribution, may be applied directly, to the land and worked with the surface soil—its best preservative. In winter and at other seasons when the man- ure cannot be used directly, it should be mixed with a fair proportion of loam, dried peat, anuck sawdust, to- gether with a little land plaster or superphosphate to .fix the nitrogen. Pt should then be packed tightly in bar- rel, or boxes and stored protected from rain until required in the spring, Lime and wood ashes should not be used for' this purpose as they set free nitrogen, Poultry immure being es- sentially nitrogenous is particularly valuable for garden and leafy props generally, and the majority of poultry keepers 1A•il'1 no doubt do well to re- serve it for this use. However, if the amount available permits, it can be profitably employed for the cereals, grasses, roots and corn. Improvement of Sheep. At this season of the year when fanners are ,marketing their lambs and making preparations to cull out their ewe 'look and place a pure bred ram at the head of the fleck, natty will be interested to knots- that ram grading is now nearing completion. A fist of officially graded rams of the varions breed, is available Inc each county at the office of the ':\gricu.l- tural Representative. Through the as- sistance of the Federal Department of Agriculture purchasers of graded pure bred rants are entitled to the follow- ing premiums if they comply with the rules and regulations for Ram Bonus Policy. N\ Lamb 4,2,00, 1N Yearling, $3.010. XXX Lamb, '$3,00, XXX Yearling, $5.00. The Province of Ontario Inas made substantial progress in the improve- ment of its sheep indnu'try, '1'lils is evidenced by the winnings of pure bred breeders at National Exhibitions ,such as the Royal Winter Fair at To- ronto and the international Live Stork Exposition at Chicago, The quality of lambs marketed in Ontario is due largely t0 the lege of purebred sires, Toronto is 00te the h'E•gest lamb consuming market in Canada and provides a market outlet for :sod quality well finished lambs at all seasons of the year; Graded pure (bred rants are available at very reasonable prices from the various breeders of pure bred sheep and no farmer Min keeps a (lock of breeding ewes should he w•ithnu't the services of a pure bred ram. Straw For Winter Feed. While straw is not generally con- sidered as a nutritious feed for live- stock yet in times of fodder scarcity it is very valuable. Horses and dry cows may be wintered entirely on straw, if supplemented by one-half to 'three-quarters of a pound of linseed .oil meal a day, or other similar pro tein feed. A ration of half straw and half legume ]pay will carry such stock through the winter in excellent condi- tion, Little straw should be used for bedding this year when it is needed for feed. 'Good oat straw- contains a considerable moan of total nutrients. though practically no protein. This is why straw alone makes a poor show- ing as an exclusive feed for live stock, but when supple)nented with a little high protein feed, its carbohydrate content can he utilized to excellent advantage. When feeding straw, al- ways provide plenty of mineral matter in addition. Give cattle, horses and sheep free access to a mixture of es pounds .of have meal, 50 pounds of finely ground limestone, 20 pounds of alt, 2 pounds of iron oxide, one,half ounce. of copper sulph'a'te and one ounce of potassium iodide. In feccliug value, oat straw leads, with !barley, wheat and rye straw fol- lowing in the order named. Corn fod- der, when harvested before the leaves dry up and .blow away, is considerably. metre valuable than !the straw of the small grains. Sweet clover straw, after 'threshing out the seed, is especially valuable in a Sear like this,.
