Water and . the leachings allowed to

Corn.for H
aaslcia�g.
In 1916 'a co-operative experiment.
was started in :the testing of varieties
of corn reoammended by the Ontario
Corn Growers Association, for Ontario
on ons. The tests averaged 59 per
year over the period of nine 'years.
he yields were as follows:. Golden
Glow, 63.8 bushels; White Cap Yellow
Dent, 59.5 bushels per acre; Bailey,
58.7 bushels; Wisconsin No. 7,, 68.5
bushels; Saizer's North Dakota, 55.3
bushels; Longfellow, 53.0 bushels; and
Compton Early, 61.4 bushels per acre.
The four highest yielders were dent
corn, and the throe lowest were flint.
In addition to the seven varieties men-
tioned,
the Gold Nugget variety of
flint corn has bean used in the co-
operative experiments for �a number
01 years. In yleld of grain per acre
this variety ranked! second in 1923
and sixth in 1922.
Feed the Birds.
Thousands ef birds die each winter
and spring of starvation .and exposure,
'Yet all of these 'birds are insect de-
stroyers and therefore of inestimable
value to the farmer, the orchardist
and gardener. They deserve to be fed
and sh- u11- he protected by every pos-
sible. means. Granted that they do steal
some fruit and grain, but their bene-
ficent services, as a rule, exceed their
depredations, Let •everyone help to
prevent the ruthless destruction of
birds and•see that they are fed and
e raising of baby beef where the salves'
de suck the cows. In addition to the: T
whole milk, as soon as the calve will
ild, eat it, good alfalfa hay, pulped roots,
be silage and, while 'the calf is young,
of whole or rolled oats to which a little
a_ siloake has been added, and latter dim
cid ing the finishing period a mixture of
barley ,and eats ar cern •and oats sere
amongst the best feeds to be used. In
all steer feeding itis well to remember
re that around a pound of good alfalfa
hay per 100 pounds live weight and
e an average of one-half pound ef grain
per 100 pounds Iive weight clueing the
t. feeding period generally brings good
se results. Usnally the feeder starts with
e a smaller proportion of grain .than
he that mentioned, gradually increases
- until the middle of the period' when the
e animal gets the rate mentioned, -while
re at the end of the period he may be
- getting nearly a pound of grain per
- 100 pounds live weight per day. In
the Handling of baby beeyes, it is well
d 'mot to let them out on grass unless it
e be in paddocks and only at night. All
young cattle parbicularly calves, that
Dept are being pushed for rapid gains,' do
better kept iti partially darkened box
stalls, during the day throughout the
summer. It is wise, however•,' to let
such cattle have some -outdoor exorcise
both -winter and summer. An hour in
the open yard on,fine days in winter
r and spending the nights in the pad
docks during summer makes for groat-
er vivre and bigger returns.

How a Herd of Ayrshire
Improved.
An illustration of what can .be ac-
complished in buildingup a dairy herd
is provided in the.experience of the
Experimental Station at Ste, Anne ds
la Poca l4ere,, Que. In 1921 the aver-
age production of the milk herd wa,5
9,492 lbs. of milk, containing 250,22'
Ibee of fat, In, 1926.it had increased -
to. 9,754 lbs. of milk, containing almo;,t
600 lbs. •ef f.•at.
The increasing average-preduction I -
is due, for the most part, to the ob-
sereance of fundamental principles of.
management, which are good feeding
for the twelve months of tha year;
regularity in thehhoairs of and/
feeding; the keeping 61 milk, fat, and,
feed records; gradual elimination of
the poor cows and replacement of!
the latter either through, the rearing
of heifers :from record sites and damns
or through purchase at an opportune(
time. }
Mr. Ste: Marie the Superintendent e
of the Station states 'in his report. that ;1
