Should' an Cut Vetere Blooming...^ iu Fmwg..the• *u%%' Trnwp Wiliam Some Fermes's iteco umegd the Use of Salt ---Old Dobbin Steals 0 March ea the Tractor. (Contributed by Ontario pe artmeatiot Agriculture. Toronto.), Sweet clover should be cut for hay in the green. sappy state" just before blooming. If cut for hay, great care should be taken to properly cure it. It would seem that the best method Is to coil it in the field and dry, it ►thoroughly before drawlug It to the barn. Wet, damp or poorly -cured hay provides ideal conditions for the development of mould. As sweet clover hay is difficult to cure under the best conditions a very good means of preserving it would seem to be iu the form of silage. The experience of the last year, however, has revealed the fact that certain precautions are necessary In making silage if if Is to come out of the silo green, succulent, and free from mould. When to Cut for Silage. Sweet clover for silage should be cut at the same time as for hay, i.e., Just before blooming. The binder should be followed as closely as pos- sible with the waggons and the sweet clover put into the silo at° once. It should not be left lying on the ground for even a day, especially dur- ing hot, dry weather. The knives of the cutting box should be set to cut the sweet clover as line as possible. If for any reason the feed seems dry a stream of water should be run into the cutting box, for It Is essential, to have the sweet clover well moistened so that it can be well packed in the silo. Clover Should Be Carefully Tramped, One of the most important steps in the making of good silage is to be sure that it is spread evenly and tramped thoroughly in the sUo. Seventy-five per cent. of the failures in making first-class silage last year were due to insufficient packing. At least two men -preferably more - are necessary to properly tramp sweet clover in the silo. Great care should be taken to see that it is particularly well tramped around the edge. Neglect to properly pack the silage was quite apparent throughout the country this spring, and it was not always In ratio to the number of men In the silo. One farmer said he had two men In his silo while it was being filled last summer, and he could not explain why one half of his silage was rotten from the top to the bottom, and that on the opposite side from the blower pipe. The condition was easily explained, however, when it was realized that the two men had stood on either side of where the cut food was blown lu, and had simply forked it over to the other side and did not bother tramping at all. Be- cause sweet clover has a.hollow stem' and has not the weight that cut corn has it requires to be packed more firmly to prevent the development of mould. Some Farmers Recommend the Use of Salt. The use of salt either in curing the hay or in the silo is strongly re- commended by some farmers, and If the sweet Clover is not being handled under the most favorable conditions it would probably help in curing of the fodder. In conclusion, it may be well to sum up the four important steps that tuns( he followed it the sweet clover is going to be ensilaged in the best possible manner. (1) It should be cut before blos- soming. (2) It should nut he allowed to lie in the field after being cut. (2) It should not be cut fine. 4 It shouldhe tramped wcli.- Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. Old Dobbin Steals March on Tractor. "Tractor manufacturers and horse breeders associations may urge the relative merits of tractors and horses as sources of farm power with all the eloquence of which they are cap- able," declares G. A. Pond, in charge of the cost accounting section at Minnesota University Farm, "but tho farmer who has both available keeps his eye steadfastly on the relative prices of kerosene and oats and ad- justs his power supply accordingly." Recently summarized data collect- ed showed hut:298 hours of use per tractor in 1921 as compared with 415 hours the year previous, a decrease of 28 per cent. The use of horse lab- or, on the other hand, increased an average of 610 hours per farm dur- ing the same period. The fact that tractor fuel declined only 29 per cent. in price while horse feed decreased'55 per cent. partly ex- plains the 'Change. In the Orchard. The foliage of stone fruits, ae cherry, plum, and peach, is on the whole quite tender, and the arsenical sprays should be employed with cau- tion. Arsenate of lead is least like- ly to do harm, though more than two applications, especially to peach, malt cause shotholing, dropping of leaves, and burning of fruit. The care of the home orchard pro- vides for spare tithe congenial and' profitable occupation for those who enjoy seeing things brow.

NOTHING FOR ROYAL TO DO BUT EXTEND Although long looked for by the agriculturists, and especially the livestock breeders of Canada, the first Royal Winter Fair, as regards the scope of the undertaking and the tremendous success attained, was a surprise to all who attended at any time during the seven days of the show. The fact that entries in all departments were, a record for numbers for a Candian show had been well heralded, but, that quality in all departments should prove so high and competition so keen as the showing demonstrated, was never anticipated even by those most in touch with inside informa- tion. Naturally, the matter of attend- ance was one of high importance to the promoters, and in this respect the best hopes were realized. Daily, afternoon 'and evening, the seating capacity of the arena was taxed while the judging of horses was in progress, and what could be termed a paying house was in evidence during the mornings, when cattle of the different breeds were the show ring attraction. And this gathering of livestock en- thusiasts in the arena accounted for only a part of the attendance at the show, a$, every visitor could not but be attracted for a great part of his or her time by the displays in the horticultural, agricultural and dairy- ing sections of the Coliseum. To the exhibitors who had been in the habit of showing at previous big exhibitions in Canada, the results of the judging in many of the classes came as a surprise. Especially was this the case with regard to the classes for breeding horses and cattle. Many a coveted honor went out of Ontario, western exhibitors of horses and cat- tle proving successful in many in- stances, while the red ribbon was placed on entries from the United States more often than elsewhere when some of the beef breeds and at least one breed 'of horses were in the ring. Even in the dairy cattle sec- tion the exhibitors from across the line were strongly represented, en- tries from the States going to the top in a number of the Ayreshire classes, in what was undoubtedly the biggest and strongest showing of that breed ever made in America. It was in the dairy cattle classes that the Mari- times and Quebec also shone, with Ay'reshires, Guernseys and Holsteins from these provinces well to the front in their respective breed showings The international character of the show was most in evidence in the Percheron showing, as regards horses. and in Herefords and Shorthorns, of the cattle, while almost every prov- ince had its livestock entries, and all fruit -growing sections of. the Domin- ion contributed to the show of applets -possibly the greatest ever staged in Canada. Perhaps the most important attain- ment of the show was the bringing together of farmers from practically all parts of the North American Con - EAST AND WEST AGREE Lydia E.

David Brown, of whom i John Muir tells in "My First Sum Trier in the Sierra." Still, the old'' gold -seeker and bear -hunter candid- ly admits that an "accident"- might occur, but even so the victim could reflect that jt was only fair play. "Whenever," said the hunter, "I saw a 'bear before it saw me, I had no trouble An killing it. I'just stud- ied the lay. of the land and got to leeward of it, no matter how far round I had to go, and then worked up to a few hundred yards or so, at the foot of atree that I could easily climb, but two small for the bear to climb. Then I looked well to the.,condi- tion of my rifle, took off -mye boots so as to climb well if necessary, and waited until the bear turned, its side in clear. view, when I coulmake a sure or, at least, a good shot.. In case it showed fight, I climbed out of reach. `Bdt bears are slow and awkward with their eyes, and being to leeward of them, they could not scent me, and I often got in a second shot before they noticed the smoke. "Usually, however, they run when wounded and hide in the brush. I let them run a good safe time before I venture to follow them, and Sandy was pretty sure to find them dead. If not, he barked and drew their at- tention, and occasionally rushed in for a distracting bite, so that I was able to get to a safe distalace for a final shot. "Oh, yes, bear hunting is safe en- ough when followed in a safe way, although, like every other business, it has its accidents, and little doggie and I have had some dlose calls. "Bears like to keep out of the way of men as a general thing, but if an .old, lean, hungry mother with cubs met a man on her own ground, she would, in my opinion, try to catch and eat him. This would be only fair play, anyhow, for we eat them; but nobody hereabouts has been used for bear -grub that I know of." ASKFOR'OUR PRICES ON CORN,WESTERN OATS, FLOYR=b'FEED, ETC, ' ('Coo.

In addition to the mineral matter ne- cessary for milk production, a con- siderable quantity is needed for the proper development of the foetus. especially during the. last few months of pregnancy. The ordin- ana Winter or stable ration which a cow receives during the. flush of the milk flow may not provide minerals in sufficient quantity to supply the above demand, and consequently, a call is made upon that stored in the body, mainly in the bones. If the supply stored up in the body becomes depleted, the milk flow will be ad- versely affected, for nature will not alter the compositiop of the milk nor interrupt the bodily functions of the mother or the development of the foetus. Arguing on this basis, it may be said that the supply of mineral matters might well be a limited factor in- milk production, As a general 'rule, especially in Summer dairying, the ration supplies all the minerals necessary, but in cases of extra heavy productions, , combined with advanced pregnancy; i of Winter rations and on soils the crops from which are deficient in mineral matter, a supplementary mineral ration may be necessary, says George Muir, Animal Husband- man, of the Experimbntal Farm Branch. Grass supplies mineral matter in good quantity and in read- ily available form, so that as long as good pasture is available a sup- ply of mineral mater is guaranteed. It is when the grass gets short or when .Winter feeding commences that substitutes for natural minerals must be provided. Feeds rich in minerals may well be considered first, since there are some whtih are also good dairy feeds, the outstand- ing ones being -bran and legumes, such as alfalfa and red and alsike clover, Liberal allowances of these feeds will go a long way towards supplying the demand. Where an extra supply of mineral matter is considered necessary, this may take the form of steamed, edible bone, meal and ground rock phosphate, one pound of each to every 100 pounds of meal. At the same time, in fact at all times, a liberal allow- ance of common salt must be given, as it is from this that a good por- tion of the mineral requirement comes. As indicated, supplementary min- eral feeding is to be reconnnefided during the final stages of the lacta- tion period, and during t1e • reit period following, so that limtl and phosphorus maybe stored 'up for the' heavy call `lwhich is rands upon them during the selniequent, heavy flew of milk. It May well be con- tinued ,throughd'ut the whole lacta- tion period were production is ab. normally beery. e.
