Feasting the Birds
One of the most commendable
Christmas customs is that observed
by. Norwegians and Swedes, who
make their dumb animals share in
the festival. They give an extra al-
lowance of food to their horses and
cattle, and young and old, rich and
poor, throughout the land, join in
providing a feast for the birds.

minion Experimental Farms, an ac-
count of which is given in the latest
report of the Division. To carry out
th experiment, twelve farmers were
chosen, and supplied with seed. The
total area sown was 13% acres. Of
the twelve farmers who took part,
eight made a profit over all -costs of
production, including a fair rental for
the land and prevailing wages for all
work done on the crop. One farmer
had a profit of $56 per acre, his costs
of production amounting to $63.25 and
his returns from fibre and seed to
$119.31.
Cleaning Seed Grain.
Investigations conducted by the Ex-
perimntal Farms have Shown the need
for greater attention on the part of
th average farmer to the propr clean-
ing and grading of the grain he uses
for sed purposes, states the Dominion
Cerealist in his latest report. If
fanning is done in a perfunctory man-
ner'it'will be of very little use. The
average fanning mill, except in the
hands of a particularly careful man,
will not clean and grade grain as care-
fully as this should bo done.
The seed for next season's _grain
crop should be prepared in the late
fall or early winter. If this work is
lett to the spring'it is apt to be done
hurriedly and inadequately. The very
best of the grain produced on the
farm should be saved and used for
seed. The 'fanning mill should be
overhauled and put in good running
