RAIN MIXTURE VALUES ats 34 Lbs., Barley 48` Lbs. the Hest Co»!lbinati©n, By Opening Surface to Rains, Many Dollars May Be Made by In- creased Crops -e Full Direction Given Regarding Starting Early . Celery. . • (Contributed by Ontario Department of i Agriculture, Toronto.) LARGE amount of experi- mental work has been con- ducted at the Ontario Agri- ! cultural College in testing grains! both singly and in combination for te production of grain. The result . of experiments indicate that there, is practically no advantage in growing in combination two or more varieCies of grain of the same class. Quit decided advantages, however, have been obtained .from certain com.liination`s, of grain of different classes. In� an experiment which extended over a period of five years in, which oats,r barley, spring wheat and peas were grown separately and all the different combination .which could be obtained by haling two, three and four! grains in each - mixture, it was found that in about ninety per cent. of t e experiments the mixed grains ga,v a greater (yield per acre than the I"same grains when grown separ- ate . Of the different combinations, oat and barley came . at the head of he list, giving slightly over two hu > dred pounds of grain per acre mo e than when either one was grown alone. j It is important to use in comb - ation varieties which will grow sat' factorily together and which will i a- ture at the same time. Such varieties as )theO.A.C. 21 barley and the Da'ubeney, Alaska or O.A.C. No, 3 oats give very good results. Of twenty -flue different mixtures withadifferent proportions of oats and barley used for five years in experi- mental work it wa`s"found that the greatest returns were obtained by us- ing" one bushel, by weight, of each or' a mixture of 84 pounds (34 pounds 0 oats and 48 poundsof barley). Dr. C. A. Ravitz, O. A. College, Guelph. Open Yot r Surface Drains. . Drainage -either surface or under- ound•--is essential if farming is to e profitable.' With the dearth of it 'ing machinery, the depleted abour market and the increased cost )f underdraining, progress is re- arded somewhat. Everything, how - /ever, has been clone which prevailing .conditions permit. Yet forty per. scent (40%) ' of Ontario is in urgent 'need of drainage. The underdrainage 'of so much 'cannot be accomplished il in a short period of time, hence that which renders timely service, even though only of temporary duration, ' must be taken advantage of. Surface draining must be resorted to. Several lines will be necessary. Indeed, if the majority of farmers would leave all "finishing" furrows open in the ploughed ground and connect them by opening up cross channels through the lower -lying parts . of the field -cleaning out all the furrow thus teav rsed-a system would be formed whereby the water could be carried to outlets quickly, efficiently and satisfactorily in the early sprijlg. Not alone to level fields or farms does this apply. Large areas of On- tario are quite rolling, hence natur- ally drained. Yet, a small open • ditch or deep furrow will pay for the trouble necessary to make a channel by the -greater ease with which water can escape, thus permitting quicker disposal of the same, hence hastening the drying of the land.• These surface drains should be opened at Least once per year. The best time to do so is in the late autumn e,fter the fall work is done. Labour Sian be obtained then with less difficulty and at less cost. The work may be done by hand or by the use of a team if water does not prevent. Surface draining, however, isnot recommended `•to take the place :of tiling. --Thos. Cooper, B.S.A., O. A. College, quelph. Starting Early Celery. The starting of early celery should be done immediately as the sped its slow in germination; requiring abolnt four weeps before ready for the first transplanting. The seed should - be sown in fiats in a soil very sandy in nature. This soil is pressed down about ' an inch in the box and than the celer3f is sown broadcast 'over it. The box is; then watered through bur lap and is left covered with burlap or brown'. gemi- nates. until the seed gei- nates. When the plants are showing two or 'three leaves they are trans- planted into fiats, 2 inches eachwee' in soil tleat is sandy in nature btit- well-filled with good manure and commercial fertilizer, such of a nia- trogeneou ft nature. Good fertilizer is necessary at this stage so that the plants will not receive any cheek. The plants should be thoroughly sprayer with Bordeaux Mixture when they first break to third or true leaf, so that they N� l be kept free from blight, and .'revery week after being set 4n the field, Another method in use among growers is that of sowing in hot beds, The seed i planted in rows about',4 inches apart; in making these roles they take a -piece of wood about an inch wide 'end press it down on the soil making a furrow about 143 of an inch deep in which thed is OWES HER TO 'FRUIT -A -TINES 95 The Wonderful Medicine, Made From Fruit Juices and 'Valuable Torics.

Good Combs Beekeeper's Asset -- Best Are Always Produced During Heavy Honey Flow -Best of Care Should Be Taken of New: Combs. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. , Toronto.) EXTENSIVE experimental work, under ordinary conditions, ' has shown that it is a • good plan to use good-sized seed potatoes, and to cut them into pieces .of from one to two ounces in weight, and having two, three or four eyes in each piece. It is an ex -cellent; plan to throw the freshly -cut pieces in finely ground land plaster ' or 'gypsum and to plant the sets im- mediately after cutting. The best re- turns have been obtained by planting "the sets in rows about 28 inches apart and leaving- the sets singly from 12 to °15 inches apart in• the rows. In- the average of seven years` experiments it was"found in planting the potatoes one, three, five and - seven, inches deep that the highest average results were, obtained from planting three inches, and the second highest from planting five inches in depth. Under average conditions it is usually wise to plant about • four inches but the depth of planting: would, of course, depend consider- ably upon the quality and the cons dition of the soil. Ii the soil is a sandy loam, the depth of planting - may be deeper than in ,the case of a heavy damp soul. _ • • In experiments extending over .a period of ten' years it has been found that about four bushels per acre in- crease haskteen obtained from billing the potatoes in comparison with level cultivation. -Dr. C. A. Zaviti, O. A. College, Guelph. Good Combs the Beekeeper's Asset, An asset to the extracted honey 'producer is combs, good combs and plenty of combs. It is sometimes a problem to obtain and maintain a sufficient stock, especially if the apiary is being enlarged. Moreover, there are several important problems associated. Fundimentally, good combs are obtainable only when built on -full sheets, of wire foundation. Such combs ill endure; naturally built combs will not stand the wear and tear of repeated honey extrac- tion. Beside beings weak and likely to break out of the frames, natural- ly drawl combs,. usually contain drone -cells to some extent, if not in. excess. The presence of drone cells in cabs, used either in the ,brood. chamber or in extracting supers, is a source of continued disadvantage. Drone cells in combs are -always costly. They may cost swarms; they may dampen the honey storing in- stincts (bees are adverse to the stor- ing of honey in drone cells, until there is no other space available) if the `drone cells are in the super, their presence induces the queen to lettere tyre, brood chamber. It is a maxim to- have only combs of all worker cells reinforced with wire; 'to this end, full sheets of foundation are essential and economical. The best combs are always pro- duced during a honey flow, yes, when there is a surplus coming in; good combs may be produced in the earlier part of the season, just prior to the cropping season; yet, regardless of season, the best of combs are obtain- able only on strong colonies. i Conversely, weak colonies, without the stimulation of the honey flow, fail to draw out the foundation even- ly and fully: - holes may even be gnawed in the foundations, which holes, when built in, will probably be filled with drone cells. With care, frames of -full foundation, to be drawn out, may be supplied alter- nately with combs of brood or honey. Moreover, the tendency is for bees to bulge the old •combs, and to corre- spond, only partially draw out the foundation of the new comb, perhaps leaving the corners open. The best results are usual when several tvarjk to be done. The problem, there- in with foundation are grouped fore, becomes one of adjusting apple is one, side of the hive, or a full crcl arding to other lines of product- _ super given.
