Ontario usually has about four' and one -hall m'ill'ion acres of hay crops each year. In passing across the province just before haying one can- not help feeling that many of these acres are not paying the taxes and the cost of hanntllling the crop. Stat- istical ,reports. indicate ani avera'ge'. yield of only • one and oneehalf tons to the acre and this can certainly be mush improved upon. For the 'mea- dows, good drainage and sweet soil are very important. Roots of grasses and clovers are ,slow to penetrate wet soils and wherever there is a surplus of water oa the soil, air is shut out and hence the bacterial life is either weakened or killed. Another point in meadow improvement is the use of. high quality seed. I,f' poor seed is used the meadow starts out with a handicap. Good drainage,. good seed, and a 'liberal sttp'ply of suitable fertil- izer melee profitable meadows. 'Foul Brood Prevalent.

The value of milk records in im- proving herd production is the sub- ject of an interesting reference in the annual report of, the work of Illus- tration Stations for 1930, which has just been issued. In 1928 the average production- from eighteen test herds was 6,442 pounds of milk; for 1930 the individual average was 7,073, an increase- of 6311 pounds of milk . per cow- ewer a period of two years, Only by actual knowledge of what each cow in his dairy herd is producing can the farmer today eliminate the "boarders" and increase total pro- duction and the earning power of this phase of his farming operations.

Means for 'lessening this danger, ad- vised by annual husbandry experts include: Never turn a cow out on alf- alfa pasture on an empty stomach; give a small feed of dry hay before turning out; have a supply of water available in or near the pasture at all -tines; don't turn the cows onto a -freshly irrigated pasture, or a pas- ture reeking with rain, heavy dew or coated withfrost, Much of the dan- ger may also be avoided by mixing grass with alfalfa in seeding down the pastures, The cows prefer grasts to legumes such as alfalfa or sweet clover and will take the edge off their appetites before feeding on these. Valuable For Dairymen The Dairy Branch has recently is- sued an instructive leaflet entitled "Probable Causes, and the Remedies for Defects in Second' Grade Cream," The introductory note states that "regulations under the Dairy Pro- duces Act require that a premium of one cent per pouted of butter :Fat be paid for Special Grade 'Creast over first grade cream, and a premium of three cants per pound of butterfat for first grade creast ever second grade cream. The leaflet points out 'ho'w these losses may be avoided and ea - numerates common defects in second grade creast.
