One of the interesting and success- ful features of the Illustration Statiop work is the comparison between heavy and light seeding of timothy and clov- ers. When making surveys of many farms in each county, where. Illustra- tion Stations are located it was fraud that most earners were not sowing sufficient seed to give the best results. To illustrate the advantage of heavier seeding, particularly with clover, on each station a small portion of the field is sown to the usual amount used in the neighborhood, which is from two to four pounds of clover and eight to ten pounds of timothy, and the larger portion of the field sown with a mixture of clover and timothy amount- ing to twenty pounds per acre. Every illustration showed the heavier seed- ing to give the• heaviest, crops of hay. The difference in growth is so notice- able that farmers passing can see the line between the two lots to a foot. On several stations the clovers on the light seeded portions were winter killed, while the heavy growth formed a pro- tection to the roots and usually with- stood the severest winter and spring frosts. Several operators report one- quarter to one-third more hay on the heavier seeding and have a much bet- ter chance for a. second crop of hay or seed the same season. -- When seeding sandy or clay looms sow eight pounds of common Red clover; two pounds alsike and ten pounds of timothy per acre. In some cases it is advisable to sow two pounds of alfalfa in addition. On heavy clay that is liable to be 1 damp or on. light, acidy sand sow eight pounds of alsike; two of Red clover and ten of timothy per acre. On black muck or .peaty soil sow eight pounds of alsike; two pounds of Red clover; eight pounds of. timothy and two pounds. of Red. Top per acre. For a nurse crop on peaty soil, al- ways sow barley. SHEEP ON THE GENERAL FARM. Sheep have one thing in, common with poultry: a farmer is more likely to be successful with few than with many. In the beginning it is a very good plan to get only a few breedingj ewes, and grow into the business as experience shows the way. One of the cheapest ways of starting a flock Is to secure young Western ewes end breed them to a purebred sire of the mutton breeds. A purebred ram is relatively cheap, and without one a. flock soon degen- erates. The early lambs are the most profit- able, but the production of such lambs requires considerable experience and better equipment. It would probably be better for the beginning farmer to breed his ewes for late lambing. Sheep are the natural prey of para- sites, which flourish chiefly during the hot, dry months of summer. For this reason sheep should not be allowed to drink water from old stagnant pools, but should at all, times be supplied with pure, fresh water. Another summer precaution is to insure plenty of green feed. Pastures are likely to get scant in July and August, but the forehanded farmer will have a field' of rape ready for them about that time. In the fall, rape which had been seeded in the corn field at the time -of, last coltivation, will also Supply pastuiage at a time when the grasses are short. The. winter care of the flock is the ;nest critical, however. 'Proper shel- ter is highly essential, but exensive buildings are nee Deeded. Sheep want to 'be dry under foot, and they do not stand drafts. They are amply pro- tected •against cold weather, provided the rain, snow, and wind is kept out of their sheds. Proper winter feeding of sheep Is quite an art, as too heavy, as well as too light feeding is harmful. It 'is essential that the flock go, into winter quarters in a good, thrifty condition. Clover or alfalfa hay of good quality • , together with an occasional addition of corn fodder, is all the ewes will need until about a month before lamb- ing, if the lambs are to be 'dropped before the ewes get into pasture. No grain ration has given more sat- isfactory results in many experi- ments, than a mixture of whole oats and bran. Both are easily available on the average farm. Either half and half or two parts of oats to one of bran is satisfactory, and each ewe ehould receive about half a pound of 'this mixture a day. When other rough - ages are substituted for the alfalfa or clover, it is best to feed grain all win- ter long. Do not winter a flock by giving them the run of the straw •stack. To keep the digestive tract in good condition root crops or corn silage should be fed, in amounts not to ex- ceed two to two and one-half pounds per clay. This sticculent feed, com- bined with plenty of exercise, is the best tonic in the world. - In dry wea- ther it is advisable to feed the rough- age some distance from the barns or sheds, so that the ewes will be forced to walk around consideratia. The closest attention must be 'paid to the flock at lambing time. Many lambs and an occasional ewe can- be saved if the shepherd remains on the job. Them'when the lambs are about a week or two old, some bright day the ram lambs should be castrated. A week or two later all the lambs should be docked: Lambs should be weaned when they are about three or four months of age. Unless this., is done they will nurse until late in the fall, and cause the ewes, to go into winter quarters in poor ileth. Sheep should be sheared as soon as the, weather getkwarin enough so that there, will be no further danger of catching cold. About a week after shearing, the whole flock should be dipped, as the presence of lice and ticks keep the flock thin. The following are excellent rules for the guidance of beginners in sheep husbandry: 1. Use good purebred rams..' 2. Select young ewes. Yearlings, two -year-olds, or perhaps three -year- olds, are far more desirable for start- ing a flock than older ones. • 3. Discard broken -mouthed ewes and ewes with bad udders: 4. Choose ewes having good size, de- sirable forms, and dense fleeces. 5. Feed the lambs especially well throughout the first year because a sheep makes his greatest growth dur- ing this period. 6. Give the flock good care through- out the entire year. Why Farm Gardens Fail BY F. P. ROCKWELL. I used to wonder why so many good The health experts say that much of farmers who have well -kept farms the ill health found on farms --despite never have gardens that amount to a. the fact that the farmer gets plenty row of pins. Some of these fellows of exercise and spends most of his I have in mind always plant good- time in the open air—is really due to sized vegetable gar d6ns, but they don't lack of green vegetables in the aver - get enough out of them to keep a pet age farm -diet.

To repeat, the garden should be laid out in such a way that most of the cultivating can be done with a horse. For this;purpose the "hoe harrow," or harrow -tooth cultivator, is very con- venient. With it you can do finer work, closer to the plants, than with implement is good not only for gar- den use, but equally as valuable for early cultivation of -potatoes and other field crops. PLANT FEW VARIETIES. such as beets, carrots, cabbage, par- snips, rutabagas, and turnips. • If you will follow this plan it will save you Money in buying seed and much work in planting. Don't he tempted to try too many novelties. Stick rather to the standard varieties which have made good. If you donot know which the standard varieties are, you can easily get a pretty good idea by comparing the, descriptions in •, three or four different catalogues.. Those which you find recommended in * all you can usually depend on. PLAN YOUR GARDEN. And one last, but by no, means least, thing to do in getting ready for a worth -while but thoroughly practical farm' garden is to plan your garden in advance. This is the hardest thing of all to get the average man to do. He will buy a lot of seed without having cal- culated, in even the roughest kind of way, how ranch of each thing he needs or should grow, and when planting time comes stick them in. Two or three hours spent some evening, with a pencil and a piece of paper, making a rough plan of the gaidea, apace it is to occupy, -what is to be planted in it, how many rows of. each thing will be -wanted, etc., will save ten times that number of hours in useless plant- ing, weeding, and cultivating all sum- mer long. • Making 'a plan of the garden is really the first thing to do. I have purposely saved this until the last because I want you to be sure to re- member it. Plan to Plant Trees. • One of the .finest contributions to the community in which we live is the proper ornamentation of our the ordinary horse cultivator. This 'premises with trees. A tree invari.- ably impresses itself as the supreme tribute. The humblest cottage sur- rounded by stately trees gives out to the passing world, the,. beneficent in- fluence, of a pure home life. Every member of the family should be inter- ested and plan to take part in tree - planting this. year. Another great, danger to avoid in the planning of the practical farm garden is that of planting too many varieties. It is always, a great temp- tation, when you are making out your seed order, to try this, that, and the other thing which Is lauded to ...the skies. Don't do it. You may be tempted to get a lot of early, medium Spring,.tonic for mother; a nice new early, mid-season, main crop, and late nab' varieties of each of a number of vege- tables. But they all result in multiply- ing' your work unnecessarily; and The 'best time to fertilize fruit trees is just before the buds show pink, Twenty-six letters are the founda- tion of a great language. Lest than then, especially if you happen to have twenty-six fundamentals are neces- hot wanther, you will find them all sary for big successes. maturing at once. For the practical farm garden I would say not over two varieties of 1 bush beans, a green and perhaps a, yellow; one of'beets; an early and a; late cabbage; one kind of chard; an early and a late sweet corn; one var- iety of cucumbee; kohlrabi, which is , very easy 'to grow and develops early in the spring; one looee-head and Ole butter -head lettuce; two or three kinds of muskmelon, if you have• plenty of room; one kind of early 'white onion for summer use, -and one yellow for fall and winter; a little parsley; plenty of parsnips for an early spring sowing, and again in June for winter; plenty of peas, not over two or three varieties, dwarf or bush, according to heiv easily brush may be obtained to support the latter; pepper plants; a few radishes (usually altogether too many are planted); plenty ef ruta- baga for fall and winter use; plenty of spinach, which may be easily canned for Winter; both'summer and winter squash; tomatoes, early, and a main crop variety; turnips, extra early for speing, and a good winter variety for planting in July or early August; 'and maybe one or two kinds of water- melons. • In getting most of these things, order enough seed for two or three plantings. This, or course, does not apply to things like 'squash, musk- melon, onions, punipkine, and water- melon; but of 'meet of the others, two or more plantings should be made in order to give a continuous supply throughout the summer, and' el, large extra late planting of all the thing's which can be easily kept for winter, h ated F rens in Southern Aiberta Su the Mumma Vauxhall District Bow nivor Irrigation Project An especially good location for mixed farming and dairying.
