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. Two or three days before Christ- mas, wagons laden with sheaves of oats are taken into the towns. Every family buys one bunch or more, which they hang from trees, roofs and fenced. } 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 order and the instructions sent out by the job.
