S: -I have a piece of sandy land which is practically un- productive, Would it be wise to sow it to sweet clover this spring with a cover crop of rye? I want to build it up, but do not know the most practical and quick method. - Answer: -Sweet clover would be a good crop to put on this thin soil. Under normal conditions it can be sewn with rye, however, I question if the rye has not grown too rank for this spring's' sowing, unless you are seeding •it with *king rye. If so, You should prepare the seed -bed well as in preparing it for wheat, and be-, fore harrowing the ground spread one to two tons of ground limestone or a ton of air -slaked burnt lime over the ground: Work this in thoroughly in order to sweeten' the ground. This should be done; if possible, a week be- fore the seed is "sown. At the time of seeding, sow about three-quarters of a bushel of unhulled seed to the acre, or if hulled seed is obtained, about twenty pounds to the acre. In order to make'sure of a catch, I would advise the application of 200 to 25b pounds per acre of fertilizer, in order to give the young crop quickly avail- able plantfood, which will cause it to make an early vigorous start. If you are sowing this seed on top of fall sown rye, follow the seeding by har- rowing the rye, being sure that the barrows run with the rows and not - across them. This harrowing will bury the sweet clover seed and should give it a good start. If you are ferti- lizing the rye at the time of seeding sweet clover, I would advise drilling or broadcasting the fertilizer before you harrow the crop. The second year's growth of sweet clover should be plowed under as soon as it has made maximum growth in early spring. Sweet clover will add consid- erable organic matter and some nitro- gen, since it has on its roots, nodules where the sweet clover bacteria live. These bacteria have the power of tak- ing nitrogen out of the soil air and of incorporating it in the roots of the sweet clover plants so that the soil is richer in nitrogen after growing sweet clover than it was before. Question -S. J.: I would like to know how to get a sure catch of clover and how to test seed. I work 20 acres, keep two horses and two cows. I sowed four acres of rye on wheat stubble last fall and pastured it. Good stand of rye, and now I want to seed this rye -with clover and a little alsike.' How would you do it to get best re-; sults? Would you harrow it a little and seed and then go over it with a weeder? I also want to ]mow how to seed in barley. Which is the best barley? Which is the best bailey to sew, and where can I get it? Answer: -The answer to question No. 1 Severs the answer to the first part of question No. 2, granted that your rye crop has not made too great a growth. If it has made too great a growth already to allow harrowing, do not attempt clover seeding until next season. ' Clover seed should be sown on top the winter wheat or rye as soon its the frost . is out of the ground in the spring. It should bo immediately harrowed in, Barley is sown in the same way as wheat or oats; that is, if you have a grain drill suited to the sowing of wheat or oats, it is also adjustable to the seeding of barley, If not, pre- pare the seed -bed well and then scat- ter evenly broadcast a bushel and a half to a bushel and three peeks to the acre of good barley, seed, A variety that hits given the best results in On- tario is Mendechsurl. This is a variety developed by Prof, 0. A, Zavitz of On- tario ro A gtlet ura l College, In re- cent; years a selection' ho been macre from this barley under the name of 0. A.C, No. .21. This is .superior in Strength of •straw and is a little heavier yielder than the average bar- ley in Ontario. You can ideate seed of it by addressing Prof. C. A. Zavitz, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. Question -C. D.: -Could you giv me information concerning the seed ing of sweet clover with fall when Would the clover be all right sown i the spring the same as June clover How would' you sow it? - Would yo drill it in, or would a drill cut th wheat roots too much? Plow muc would you sow per acre? Answer: -=Sweet clover can be seed ed with full wheat and rye, as describ ed in answer to question No. 1. Th best time to seed it is early in spring If you have machinery for drilling th seed, you can get a little evener cis tribution and the'seed will be plante at an even depth. Be sure and d not get it planted too deep. As a rule an inch to an inch and a half is deep enough for clover seed, Question -J., R. M.:-(1) I have a piece of old •meadow in which I want to plant potatoes. Have plenty of manure for same. I want to plow potatoes in. Would you advise put- ting manure on sod, plow potatoes in, and disc -harrow after plowing? (2) How deep should sod be plow- ed. for potatoes? (3) When is the best time to plant potatoes to get the best yielding crops? (4) Does rye cut green make good horse feed for winter feeding? Answer: -In preparing your. old meadow for a potato patch, I would advise plowing down the .sod, about five or six inches deep. If the manure is well rotted, apply about five loads to the acre, and then disk and harrow it into the soil thoroughly. ' If it is fresh manure, do not put it on your potato patch, since it tends to harbor potato scab spores. In order to get largest yields of best quality potatoes you will do well to add, in addition to the manure that you put on the soil, about 50 lbs. of a fertilizer carrying 3 to 4% ammonia and from 8 to 10% available phosphoric acid, and possibly 1%r potash. Scatter 200 lbs. of this fertilizer Ser acre over the ground before the last harrowing, which will work it into the soil. At the time you are. planting your pota- toes strike the plow furrows and then scatter a light dusting of fertilizer all up the furrow. Follow this by put- ting in a light covering of soil over the fertilizer; then drop the potatoes and cover as usual. Potatoes should not be planted until there is reasonable certainty oe the early sprouting tubers escaping frost. In the central part of Ontario, this would delay the plant- ing until early in May. Rye cut green makes a fair quality hay. If allowed to grow until it is thoroughly ripened, the straw is re- latively poor and lacks nourishment. Henry, in his "Feeds and Feeding" says, "Cereal hay (which includes rye) may often be advantageously employ- ed for horse feeding, However, rye should be used in moderation. In ac- tually practice we have found it to give horses indigestion if they are al- lowed to feed too freely upon it. FOOD SHORTAGE SUGGESTIONS Beans Contain a Large Amount of Protein and Their Fond Value Is Therefore High.. By henry G. Bel Beaus. Crop reports indicate what• may amount to a desperate shortage in food next winter. What this coun- try needs more than anything else is high food value crops in as small bulk as possible; foot that will keep; food of minimum bulk which can be readily stot'ed and shipped. An acro of beans, yielding 28 bushels, produces as much heat and energy -producing food as an acre of wheat yielding 20 bushels. A 28- busReI-to-the-acre crop of beans pro duces over 2% times as much :flesh producing food as a 20 -bushel -to -the- acre crop of wheat, Ontario produces over 800,000 bushels of beans on 61,000 acres, The average yield is 16,3 bushels per RCM. An acre of beans produces from 13 'to 80 bushels of dried beans, Beans are being contracted for at $8 to $0 a bushel. One bushel of shall navy beans, or 1% bushels of kidney boobs.plants Sri acre, in rows or drills 28 inches apart. Beans should not be planted till danger from frost is past.

While geese live to a great age, the ganders are- usually unreliable as breeders after about nine years old. Females, however, have been bred at from fifteen to eighteen years of age. An indication of advanced years is an abdominal pouch of considerable size. Geese do not reach maturity until their second or third year, and their eggs do not show strong fertility. Being naturally a grazing animal, the goose is provided with a bill that has sharp ititerlocking serrated edges, designed to cut and divide vegetable tissues easily, and the tongue at the tip is covered with hard hair-like pro- jections pointing toward the throat, which serve to convey the hits of grass and leaves into the throat quickly and surely. For a start, n gander and two geese are sufficient. Their eggs being very fertile, as a rule, quite a number can be hatched each year. It requires a full month to hatch a goose egg, and incubation is perform- ed by either a hen or a goose. A good- sized hen will cover five eggs, and a goose can take care of as many as fif. teen. It is seldom that any of the goslings are lost, except through accident or exposure to, hard storms while still very young. CANADIAN GRAINS. Varieties Recommended For Use In Ontario. It is not the policy of the Experi- mental Farms to advise the cultiva- tion :of mew. varieties of grain which have not wee been sufficiently tested in Canada, or which when tried have shown no superiority over older and better known sorts. The varieties here recommended have been thoroughly tested and have shown excellent dualities. ' While they may not be adapted to every con- dition of soil and climate, they have demonstrated their suitability, for large areas in the provinces for which they are recommended. Other very good. sorts, almost or quite equal to those mentioned, could .have been added to the list, but it ap- pears undesirable to recommend an unnecessarily large number of varieties, Spring Wheat, -Red Fife and White Fife are good standard sorts but rath- er late in ripening in northern localities. Huron, Marquis and Early Recl Fife are earlier in ripening. An the varieties mentioned are good for bread -making, but Huron is not equal in this respect to the others. It is, however, particularly vigorous and productive and is highly recommended. In extreme northern districts, Pre- lude will be found valtiable if the soil is fairly rich and the rainfall suffici- ent, In Southern Ontario, the very late variety, Blue Stein, gives good results, t is rather more resistant to droaght han most sorts. Goose wheat is oc- tal in extremely dry localities, though ire price of this variety is often quite ow, as it is' not used for bread -mak - g. Kubanlca, closely resembling ease, makes excellent bread, but it is o different from ordinary wheats that illers object to grinding i1:, Goose usually more productive than ubanka.B• Oats.-anner and Ligowo are two f the best sorts.

The fat globules in the milk of a Jersey or a Guernsey cow are larger than those of other breeds, and conse- quently break more easily. If the mills and cream containing large fat globules and milk containing_ small fat globules are mixed, there will be a loss in the churning. It is all right to divide the calves with the boys, but don't forgot to divide the proceeds of the sales, too. Health and wealth in stables with pure air everywhere.

Formerly much sickness in armies was caused by drinking impure wa- ter -not only typhoid, -but other mala- dies, such as dysentery. Soldiers, if thirsty, would drink from a swamp o>; a puddle. But nowadays this matter is looked after with utmost care, pre- caution being taken to examine every source of water supply for troops' chemically and bacteriologically. In -r-` Europe, a special caution has to be exercised against the possible poison- ing of wells -this being reported from France as the latest thing in "fright- fulness."

The use of concrete by the farmer has become quite general through- out the country, a condition undoubt- edly brought about by reason of the economy which attends the use of con- crete. It is usually a simple matter for a farmer to obtain sand and gravel and the only other material needed is the cement, which can now be obtained at a price easily within the reach of all, Probably the first use to which con- crete was put on the fern was far the building of foundations for houses, barns and other buildings, The concrete root cellar is a farm structure which has found great pop- ularity.
