R. F. STBLore, Principal. Best Cover Crops for orchards, On May 17th. the Dominion Fruit Inspectors met in the orchard at the Central Experimental Farm and discussed Lover Crops. The sub- ject was introduced by W. T. Ma-. coon, Horticulturist, who gave his experience with different - plants used for this purpose and told what he considered were the principal uses of Cover Crops. He said that the importance of a covering for the soil in winter was strongly im- pressed on him after the winter of 1895-96 when many trees were root killed at the Central Experimental • Farms. Since that time the sub- ject had received much attention from his department. The main uses of the cover crop are : to hold the snow in winter and thus pro- tect the roots of the trees ; to fur- ntsh vegetable matter to plough .under in spring for the purpose of obtaining humus and nitrogen ; and to act as a catch crop in autumn to prevent leaching of plant food made available during the summer He recommended, as the best gener- al practice for growers, cultivating Vie soil until near about the middle of duty when the trees have made most of their growth and do not need so intch moisture, and then seeding down to Common or Mam- moth Red clover sown broadcast at the rate of 12 lbs. per acre or with Hairy Vetch at the rate of 30 to 40 lbs. per acre. Sown at that time these plants usually make a good • cover crop by autumn. At the Cen- tral Experimental Farm Hairy Vetch was sown on June 18th, 1903 in drills 28 inches apart at the rate of 20 lbs. per acre. These received two cultivations and by the end of the first week of August the plants were meeting between the rows. By sowing earlier as in this case a better stand may be obtained and by cultivation moisture is conserv- ed while the plants are getting es- tablished. Twenty pounds per acre sown in drills in this way' were found quite sufficient to make a Wifkeeod cover. There was practically injurer from mice where cover 8t. fps were used as their depredat- staff he were prevented by using either Keroki teary building paper or wood n, combine =.

In districts where the con- servation of moisture is important the` cover crop ''should be turned under as soon as possible in the spring. and in some' parts plants which are killed by winter are pre- ferred as there is no loss of mois- ture through them in the spring, Leguminous ,plants are, on the 'whole, best for cover crops as they take nitrogen from!the air, but,.of- ten oats and rape are need to good advantage. Crates for fattening Chickens. Farmers who intend to try the crate ` fattening of chickens this season should soon be thinking of building their crates. Those in use at the Illustration Poultry Stations are 6 feet long, 16 inches wide•and 20 inches high, inside measurement. Each orate is divid- ed by two tight wooden partition into three compartments, and each compartment holds four chickens. The frame pieces are 2 inches wide and seven -eighths inch thick. This frame is covered with slats, placed lengthwise ons three sides—bottom, back and top — and up ; anal down in, front. The slats for the bottom are seven -eighth inch wide and five-eighths inch thick ; the back., top and front slats are the same width, but only three•eighths inch thick. The spaces between the slats in front are two inches wide to en- able the chickens to feed from the trough, The bottom slats aro put 1% inches apart, and the slat near- ee,t the back of the crate is 2f he °hes from the corner piece. The bottom slats are raised two inches from the bottom of the crate, to prevent the chickens' feet from be- ing bruised when the crate is plac- ed on the ground. The top slats aro 2 inches apart and the back slats Winches. The top slats are cut above each partition, and six strips 2 inches wide are nailed un- der them. The three doors so form- ed are hinged to the rear corner piece. The crates are placed on stands 16 inches 'from the ground. Tho droppings from the chickeno are received on sand or other absorb- ent material. A light i •V" trough 2% inches inside, is placed in. front of each: crate, and is carried on two brackets nailed to the ends of the crate, The bottom of the trough Is four inches above the floor, and the upper inside edge is two inches from the crate. Forecasts For July. By IBL R. Hicrs. This month begins in the last stage of a storm period central on June 29th. Storms and perturbat- ions of this period will be well on their way toward. the Atlantic by the let and 2nd, with fair and cool- er weather following from the west. A reactionary storm period is central from the 4th to the 6th. As the Moon is on the celestial equiitor on the 4th, we may reasonably cal- culate on a decided rise in tempera- ture, eliding in thunder and rain storms during these reactionary days. Tf the general tendency is to ex- cessive heat and' light rains from the 4th to 6th,°and from the 9th to 14th, it will be safe to count on a t)redominunee of such weather near- ly or quite up to September. We fear there are good reasons to ex- pect such results. About the llth td' 14th., the cen- tral dates of the second July storm period, no one should be surprised by a wave of excessive warm weat- her, culminating in many threaten= ing storms and violent dangerous blustering. Some local cloudbursts are probable here and there, but not sufficient rains will occur, over wide extremes of the grain -produc- ing regions. Heavy hail storms, especially to the west and north, will most likely attend these dis- turbances, in which. event tempor- ary change to much cooler may be expected. The 12th, 13th and 14th. are the days on which the culminat- ing crisis of this period is to be looked for. Change to higher baro- meter, westerly . winds and cooler would be the normal order, pro- gressively, behind, or west of the centers of storm areas. On and touching the 17th, 18th and 19th the temperature; . will greatly increase, moving like a wave from west to east. ,Barometer unsteadiness and final fall to low readings will accompany the warm- th, and many threatening storm clouds With thunder and bluster 'will' take up their march across the ,-leaks. country, A regular Vulcan storm period covers the 21st to the 24th, having its center on the 22nd, A wave of increased warmth, attended by fall- ing barometer and other storm conditions, will pass eastw'ardly across the country on and touching the above days, A brief partial re- spite from great warmth will prob- ably succeed the distu banes of this period. On and touching the 27th and 28th reactionary storm conditions will return with more than ordi- nary intensity. Great warmth will reach a climax on and nest to these dates. This is also a time when many seismic disturbances may expected. Western Fair, London. Active preparations are under way for this year's Exhibition, to be held September 9th to 17th. The Prize List has just been issued and is now in course of circulation. The Secretary informs us that he will be pleased to mail one to any who have been overlooked, on receiving their address. Liberal premiums are offered, open to all, and fairly distributed among many depart- ments, comprising about every con- ceivable indusiry, a large portion going to the live stock classes. The conditions, rules and regulations are conveniently arranged so that anyone can easily understand them The improved entry form which was originated by the Western Fair will, be used again this year. It is much appreciated by the exhibitors as it saves time and avoids mis- takes. Contracts have been let for a new Dairy Hall, which will be complet- ed in time for` the opening of the Fair. The building will cost $10,000 and will be of first-class construc- tion throughout, giving a floor space of 8,500 feet. The Demon- strating Hall will have a seating capacity of 800 to 1,000, equipped with up-to-date appliances for demonstrating the manufacture of butter and cheese. Butter -snaking competition, for both professional and non-professional butter makers will be held daily during the Fair. Tho portion of the building set a- part for exhibits will be suitably fitted up with refrigerator cases for butter and cheese, and platforms and stands for dairy machinery, in- cluding cream separators, churns, etc. In fact, everything in con- nection with this,department. will be in keeping with the linportance of London as the center of one of the best.dairyina sections in Cana- da. The removal of the Dairy De- partment from the old Dairy Agri- cultural inct Horticultural Hall provides eery much more room for agmoultural and horticultural pro- ducts, and will i end to better the excellent displays of the past years. It is confidently expected that the Manufactures and Arts Build- ing will be largely filled with ex- hibits of processes of manufacture of goods made in London. Leading artists will be represented in the Art.Gallery—a better display than ever is anticipated. The list of attractions is about complete, and we are assured it is the best yet. The speeding in the ring. always a feature of the West- ern Fair, will this year, with en- larged purses, bo more attractive than ever. Tho people of Ontario have al- ways shown the highest appreeia• tion for the Western Fair, and we feel that, in wishing them a pros- perous future we but express the sentiments of everyone in this sec- tion of the Province.
