(Contributed by Ontario Department of A.griculture, Toronto.) HE erosion of hillsides and the flooding of the land be- low, by the eroded material has long been a worri and an economical loss to many farmers in hilly and mountainous sections. This can frequently be prevented, and the method employed depends on the conditions existing, such as the ' nature of the soil; light or heavy, the steepness of the siope, and the type of agriculture practiced; pasture or tilled crops. Wet hillsides used as sheep pas- tures may be much improved by what are sometiraes called "sheep -drains." These are merely shallow open 'ditches a.bout 36 Inches Wide on top, nine. inches wide on the bottom, and 15 inches deep for removing the sur- face water. and carry it in a de-, , nite channel to a suitable outlet at the base of the hill. The removed earth should be thrown out cei the lower side to form a sort of em- bankment to the drain. The grade of the ditch should not be so steep as to give the water sufficient farce to destroy the drain by either wash- ing away the banks or digging the drain itself deeper and • thus making it- dangereus'for the sheep and lambs. Sub -drains are sometimes necessary. A system of terracing is quite universally, used to prevent destruc- tive washouts on hillsides: The ter- races are made perfectly level and of any width and then carefully seed- ed to grass. At the time of rain the water spreads out evenly over the surface of these .and thee flows gent- ly over the slope below withdut, suffi- cient force to wash away any portion of the hill and thus prevents "gulleying.“ For the drainage of tilled hillsides a system of under -drainage is some- times used suceessfully. The amount of erosion of the rind largely de- pends on. its condition. If the sur - :face soil can be kept firm the erosion will be lessened. • Soft spots on the hillside, though, frequently occur as a result of seepage water from above which has penetrated the surface soil and reached an impervious layer 1 and thus deflected to the surface on the side of the hill, Water flowing over this with considerahle force will naturally wash it away mere easily than the firmer soil free from this • seepage water.

This mai' be done in case of an old well by put- ting a wall of puddled clay 1 foot thick and 10 feet deep aroun4 the well cribbing, aed in ease of a new- ly -dug well; or recribbing an, old one, by using large eoncrete, tile for the cribbing and vetting the joints thor- oughly in rich cement. Before the tile are plaeed in the well the 'out- sides should be watehed with pure cement plaster in order to fill up all pores and Ana.ke the tile absolutely impervious to. soil waters. Thirdly, the cribbing should be extended at least onefoot above the ground level and the soil banked up to the top -of It to Provide good .surface drainage away front .the well. Fourthly, the well should be provided with a strong and tight -fitting cover made of heavy plank pr concrete so that it will al- ways be safe for man and beast and proof a.gainst the entrance of dirt, sthall animals like frogs, etc. Even better still the pump may be placed over a shallow dry well to one side and the top of the real well niade absolutely light by a concrete cover. In this case the well should be ven- tilated by putting a small iron pipe,, with the exposed end turning down- wards, througb thetop or cover. And, fifthly, the stock should not be. al- lowed to tra.mp about close to the well. What has been said refers chiefly to dug welht, but -even the drilled or driven wells sliould be well drained and protected at the top, for other- wise conta,znination may work'down along the well "casing- and reach the water, '<especially if the casing is not tightly driven into the rock below.

C.' Moffatt, 11.A., 0. A. Collegeektuelph: Methods of Keeping COW Records. Four things are necessary for keep- ing cow records: 1 1. A monthly milk sheet., ruled so that there shall be a column for re- cording the weight of the morning and evening milking of each cow for each day of the month, though some use a, sheet ruled for three days only, and estimate the weight of milk given for the month from these three days, more satisfaetery. They will natural ly intercept all of the water flowin through the soil above them. Also the grade will be less and the drains are not so liable to be affected by th 111 s ufficient quantities by drilling to reasonable depths. The supply, there- fore, will probably never cause us any serious worry, but judghig by a recent repert on analysis af many well waters from this Prevent° one seems justified in concluding that there is still need for education of the rural public in regard to the protection and care of the farm well. The following suggestions will be found helpful to any farmer, aesir- ohs df making his. water supply safe against possible undergrdund and surface contamination. The first step in the solution of this problem of purer water supply is the location- of' the well. •This should be by all means on ground higher than any source of contamin- ation ,such aei barnyard, cesspool, 'or outside privy, If there should be no choice inlocation, and this cannot be done, chen the well shoiild be kept a considerable distance from such, contaminations, at least 100 ° feet in clay, and 200 feet er more in sandy soils, and the cribbing and, top of the wedl specially protected as detailed later against the entrance of any seepage and surface washings. Fn the second place the cribbing for which may be consecutive, or on the first, tenth and twentieth of zhe month, making ten-day periods be- tween. The Ontario Department of Agriculture, Taronto, will furnish (free) monthly milk record sheets to those interested. 2. A milk scale — preferably one having a dial face and two hands, one of which shows the net weight of milk in the pail, when properly set. This scale costs about five dollars. -3. A four to eight bottle Babcock test, where it is desired to know what each cow's milk tests in fat. This will cost from eight to twelee dollars complete. (If a member of a cow - testing association or convenient to a creamery or cheese factery, ar- rangements can usually be made to test the samples, hence the tester is not needed, but a progressive dairy- man should have his own testing out- fit and use it.) 4. The fourth and mast important requirement is, "The -will -to-do." Without thiS, milk sheets, scales, testers, etc., are valueless. By having scale, sheet, pencil, sample bottles properly labelled, etc„ all convenient- ly arranged, it takes but little time to keep a record of each milking cow in the herd.

These hens lay so few eggs that they frequently d� not pay for the feed they eat and there- fore reduce the profits of the better layers. The market -price is high for old hens\ and where the -birds are not good' 'producers it is a .good plan. to market them fairly early., There are also in -moat flocks a nurhber of hens that were hatched in 1917 or earlier. Oisr figures sugge t that most hens fall back about ft.cxity eggs annually in their production. It is truethat most of this occurs during the winter months, but one,: must alsa consider that the number of eggs falls off considerably after the month. of May and, moreover, it is not uncommon for July and Aug- ust to be poor egg -producing months. The price of old hens usually is at its lowest poiateduring ithe fall or the year, so that in many cases it pays best to sell the old birds not wanted for next year fairly soon, as the decline is price frequently is more than. the profit Made upon the eggs laid from June to October. In a word the hen that has.. bright yellow legs and beak at this season is a poor producer, as is also cithially the bird that has a la.rge amount of internal tat or is very full and hard in the space between the end Of the breast bone and the tail. ..

She appears as if she had worked harder, that is she is not so sleek and fat. Her skin is usually thin and soft. She is busy and not a loafer.

Boyd backed up his tractor to his corn crib the other day, which was fairly alive with rats that had defied rat poison and attacks 0 dogs on the place and turned on the ezIlaust, Soon - there was a gas barrage that Boyd believes was equal to any put on in the late war. The rats began' th scamper from the crib and most of them succumbed to the fuznes of gas. Those few that got out of the crib were so weak from inhaling the gas. that they could not put up much Or a fight and the dogs that had bee* gathered for the occasion made easy work of them. But inside the crib was the real sight, The dead rats were found by the dozen, and wlven Boyd finished gathering them up he had more than a tubal of the rodents.
