If the floors fertility a elover and timothy mix- ture, sown primarily for hay in a ro- tation will produce more hay if a lit- tle meaclow fescue and perhaps also orchard grass are added. On account the latter grasses also help a field to produce mcceepasture after the hay crop has been removed. The same applies elso to other grasses, known as bottom grasses such as Kentucky Blue grass, Red iop, and others, and also to 'White Dutch clover. For permanent pastures it is of still greater importance that the mixtures sown contain a variety of grasses and clovers. It is obvious that the most valuable permanent pastures are those whioh provide green pasturage from the early spring until late in the fall. Under the ciecuinstances it is equally • obvious that the most valuable mix- tures for permarient pastures are those Which oontain early as well as medium late and late pasture plants. • This is a point that is too often overlooked in Eastern Canada. It is not so in Europe, where the great value or pastures of proper composi- tion is being more appreciated and nhere, as a consequence, paa-ture mix- tures holding ten or more grasses and dossers are comenon.

It is iinposisible in a short article to discuss what Pieeticular grasses and clovers ought to be recommended as additions to the timothy and clover tnixtures now commonly used, as dif- ferent rates and combinations of quite a varied nature are required for dif- ferent soil and climatic conditions. Furthermore, such a discussion is out- side the scope of this arbicle, the ob- ject of which -is simply to enuphasize the advantage of including a greater neunber of grasses and clovers in mix- tures than is now the case. cass and enhances the value of the entire bird. Do not dispose of any class of poultry stock without special feeding, and for the larger cockerels of their rapid growth after cutting, espeoially, the crate feeding systeen is best. ' Turkeys and Geese.—Geese are be- coming more popular each year and deserve more attention on the aver- age farm than they have reeeived. The grass feeding habit of the goose is an added reason for goose flesh being one of the cheapest poultry meat pro- duced. Turkeys continue to be our highest priced poultry flesh and no doubt will maintain this position for some time, for the ravages of blackhead eaeh year seem to make it harder to pro- duce turkeys. In marketing turkeys almost more than any other class of poultry meat, it is essential that they be well-fed. Turkeys cannot be too fat and in disposing of them keep in mind that turkeys are used for festi- val occasions. Have them ready, therefore, in plenty of time for Thamksgiving and Christmas, and do not leave the inarketing of them too near the time at which they are re- quired for eating. For further detail; write the Poul- try Division, Central. Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ont., for their bulletin No. 88, "Preparing Poultry Produce for Market." " Preparing IDer:tlie"Next Lan A Crop. Successful sheep. husbanelry're mu. ene 'er careful prepaeation for the next lamb crop. It matters little What time of the year it is, whether the ewes are just bred," the lee -nibs just weaned or the lamb crop just due, preparation for the next crop should be kept in mind. So time is more important than during the previous lambing sea- son. At that time notes and records should be kept of all important items regarding the behavior of the ewes, the number of Iambs. eaoh raises and wfhether they are good mothers or not, whether their udders are healthy and well-bileneed, or any other valuable notes of this kind: Any ewe that does not successfully raise her offspring should be culled rather than re -bred. Great care should be exercised in the selection of the ram to be used. Ile should be a typical, uniform, good- sized, purebred animal, full of vigor, active, and in good bloom. It is WOnderful the influence a ram may have upon the offspring of a flock of ordinary ewes. The selection of the ewes is also a very imiportant feature in connection with the lamb crop. This selection may be done when the previous lambs are weaned and again at breeding time. The shepherd ha.s in mind at this time uniformity in type. The more uniform in appearance the ewes are, the more uniformity will be shown in the offspring and hence the better the prices to be obtained when marketing time arrives. Nothing at- tracts the buyers like uniformity not only in good condition but in size, age, appearance and type. The ewee teeth should be examined and if any defects are found the ewes should be culled. As a rule ewes are not profit- able for breeding after they pass five years of age. Not only should severe culling be done to the mature ewes but careful selection should be prac- ticed in ehoosing future breeding ewes for the laarile crop, alveays being maul to retain those as near the ideal type as possible. Too =eh emphasis cannot be laid upon the cul- lrlarketing the Surplus Stock. ' Distribute the sale of market birds over as many of the twelve months as possible.
