(Experimental Farms Note,) Feint corn, as a grain crop in East- ern Canada, has not received, the at- tention that it merits. At •the present crisis of food supply it is she crop 'bet eau he increased without disturbing the system or rotation or cutting down the acreage of any other cereal. We do not increase production if we cut down the acreage of one kind of grain to grow another, By growing flint Corn we can increase the total output or cereals without alteration or detiement to our system of farming, lts value Iles in its feeding adapta- bility, As Meal lu a fattening ration it is without an equal, for cattle, hogs or poultry.

An acre or two. of corn will fatten the hogs on an average farm. This method can be adopted with profit by the Eastern fernier in these days of labor scarcity. The dry stalks make excellent roughage for dry cows or young cat- tle. Last, but not least, corn can become in Canada an Important factor in the httmen diet. Many bushels of wheat could be released for shipment if we would use the various appetizing foods into which corn meal can be con- verted. Range of .Profitable Production - The crop should only be grown where it will mature in an average season. Using the proper variety, corn can. be grown In practically all the older parts of Ontario, the Eastern townships and many counties north of the St. Lawrence in Quebec, alo many districts in the Maritime Provinces. The District Representatives of On- tario, with the exception of those in the northerly counties, state that ma- turity is not the factor that prohibits the growing of corn, the Secretary of Agriculture for Quebec making a similar report for that province. Varieties -Quebec Yellow No. 28, is the variety that will succeed best over the greater part of the area ifidicated.

Who Should Grow lt.----Phe man who disposes of his milk to the local creamery is the man who can most profitably grow and use grain corn. If he is using silage, at the present price of shelled corn he can afford to decrease his acreage of silo corn in order that he may grow flint Lor grinding. The farmer who wiehee to increase the output of grain yet does not wish to break his system of rotatiou. By growing flint. eurn he is producing grain from his hoed crop. The Man who is without a silo, and wishes to increase his hoed crop. He elle grow corn for grain purposes with profit, likewise improving the tilth alio cleanliness of his fields. Seed -Owing to the disastrous fail- ure of the seed corn crop in the Unit- ed States and Canada,, seed is ex- /A druggist says: "For nearly thirty years I have commended the Extract of Roots, known Its Mother Selgel's Curative Syrup, for the radical cure of constipation and indigestion.

Each farmer should consult with his county representative as to a possible source of supply. "Wherever flint corn has been grown there can generally be found a few men who have developed early pro- ductive strains out of old varieties. Not having made a practice of dispos- ing of It tor seetl, these men are oc- casionally a valuable source of local supply too often overlooked. Conclusion -Any person who is de- sirous or growing this crop and fail- ing to obtain seed this season, should plan to secure it early in the autumn for another year. As long as the price of corn; mill feeds ane live stock re- main a they now are, corn for grain will be one of the most profitable crops that can be grown on a farm. Any farmer so situated diet ha can mature flint corn will find it pro- fitable to plant a few acres even though he has to cut down •corres- pondingly his acreage of silo corn. THIe MANUFACTURE OF CREAM CHEESE, (Experimental Farms Note), At some time or other during their career, most dairy farmers have ex:- periencea calumny 111 margeting their produce satisfactorily. The trouble may have been because of a poor demand for the product, Or the quality may have been below standard. The dairy produce from the Experi- mental Farm, Agassiz, B. C., has been sold in a number of different ways, one of the most satisfactory of which Is in the form of cream cheese, The cream cheese appears to be the, most Popular sort cheese. It is easily made on the farm and requires very num special apparatus. 'lite and - and cost of making and packing are mall, so that the manufacture is well suited for any producer within a rea- sonable distance from a market. It is a suitable and remunerative method of marketing cream, During cool weateer we have been able to keep this cheese for a week or ten days without any appreciable deterioration In flavor, but, as evaporation is going on eontinually, the cheese, uniees or- iginally made overweight, will not be up to the standard weight at the end pf this time. It is therefore advisable to place it on the market as soon as possible after completion, The market as yet is limited but the demand appears to be increasing. We have sold during the past twelve months 5,420 of these cheeses in the city of Vancouver. The wholesale price obtained Is 15c each, . which amounts to ee1e.00 tor the product during the past year, lea.ch cheese weighs six ounces and approximately ten dozen are now being inanufabeur- ed weekly from 170 pounds of twelve per cent. cream. This brings a' re- turn of ninety cents per pound but- terfat for the creaM, with the whey retained for feeding purposes. 0. Asthma Doesn't Wear Off Alone.

There was serious -waste in food and material in camps, at home, and 111 Prance. The great demand for raw mat- erial inflated prices and there was pierce competition between manufacturers. Worn uniforms and boots that could have been put to good use and saved thous -- ands of pound e were wasted -all be- calm° the task ot supplying millions was too vast for me who had been aecus- turned to looking after thousands only. "And then Mr. WIntour and ther bus- tness men came along and employed their business genius with of some of the things his department has bought during the war: - 35,000,000 pairs of boots. 40,000,000 horeshoes. 25,000,000 smoke helmets. 500,000,000 preserved meat ra.tione 260,000,000 tine of jam. 167,000,000 lbs. of cheese. 400,000,000 lbs. of bacon. 35,000,000 knives, forks and apoons. 115,000,000 yards of flannel. 105,000,000 yards of cloth. " The total value of purchacies during the war has been over 03,500,000,000, in- cluding $1,000,000,000 on behalf of Great Britain's allies, and the present annual value of purchases is about 01,750,000,- 000, including about 0500,000,000 for the Alilee-or just 05,000,000 of the 025,000,- 000 to $40,0110,000 a day the war 113 now costing Britain. "Mr. Wintour set to work to see how much he could save. He found that eao keen was the competition for army contracts that low prices could be se- cured by competitive tendering. Then he instituted an el:Arnim/Mon of costings where the requirements were not large compared with the total output f the industry, and during twelve znoriths ho secured reduction on contracts for hardware, horseshoes, bruehes, and simi- lar articles to the extent of 42,000,000 on a total of 068,000,000, a saving of 4.7 per cent. "He requisitioned output and got con- trol of raw nutterials like -wool, leather, jute, flax, and hernp. Getting this con- trol was absolutely necessary, for with the world -dearth of wool, Which began to be bit at the beginning of 1916, prices would have soared and the heavy military requirements for clothing would have been satisfied only at a prepos- terous cost. Mr. WIntour estimates that $65,000,000 was saved on the cost of the manufactured artiere by getting control. "In nine months in 1915 the army spent 075,000,000 on leather, with the result that there was desperate compettion among manufacturers to get supplies of raw ma.terlia and some form of control was inevitable. The piece which depart- ment now allows for Britiell hides is 5d. a lb. below the corresponding world prices, and since 2,500,000 hides (aver- aging 00 Me) are bought pee annum, the saving here is over $15,000,000. The con- trol of the Indian kips alone has saved $5,725,000,and this does not include the money from the sales of by-products. "The eontrol of manufacturing pro- cesses in the case of jute has saved 030,000,000; raw jute, over 02,500,000 on half a year's supply. " On hemp it is estimated $8,750,000 will be the combined, annual profit and saving. The purchase or tea in 1917, in- cluding supplies for the British Navy, will probably amount to 60,000,000 pounds Tho average price for twelve months used to be 10.47d. per pound; the Con- tracts Depertment has reduced it to 9efid. and 9eld. Thus, at a penny Et pound cheaper, the saving on tea this year will be $1,250.000. - "The dsapartment is now experimenting to see what can be done in the way of produeing ammonium sulphate, metal and grease, roadmakIng, out of old boots.

The problem of economical production, 'with feed at the present prices, is a ques- tion that has been worrying producers during the past few months. '.ehe ques- tion of what to feed is one that requires more easeful consideration than ever be- fore. Feed Is high, therefore the flock should De culled closely and nothing but the znost vigorous birds retained. They should not only be fed heavily, but should be fed such feeds as will give results. For this purpose it Is ne.eessary to supply cereal, animal, vezetable and mineral fele Cereal or g -rain feeds should form the principal part of the ration, end for best restate a certain proportion should be ground, The question is what are the best and most economical feede to use. During ordinary times, a mixture ef corn, wheat and oats ls popular, but un- der present conditions milliner wheat should be oonserved for hiunan food, and only the lower grades used for stock reed. Lower grade wheat, oats and corn. buck- wheat and barley-theye are all feeds that may be used to aavantge. The ex- tent to which. each 14 used will depend on prices. For ground feed, "Buckwheat screen- ing" niay l,c tmed to advantage, also mixtures containing bran, oornmeal, ground oats or other similar grains. Vegetable or green feed 5s absolutely necessary to keep the flook in thrifty condition. . For this purpose, sprouted oats is one of the very best. It not only supplies supplies succulence, but gvain feed as N1 ell. Mangels, turnips, cabbage, small.potatoes or other similar waste product's may all be used to al- vantrigae Animal or meat feed is a form of food that poulay keepers frequently neglect supplying. It is not possible for a hen to produce eggs profitably on an all -grain ration. Sour milk is -usually available on farms, and no anima1 feed will give better results, as it not only supplies the necessary feed, but it also keeps tile birds in good tone. If milk is not avail- able, beef scrap, blood flour. green cut bone or similar feeds must be supplied, to take the place of the grubs and, in- sects a Melt the birds get on range.

The problem of economical production, 'with feed at the present prices, is a ques- tion that has been worrying producers during the past few months. '.ehe ques- tion of what to feed is one that requires more easeful consideration than ever be- fore. Feed Is high, therefore the flock should De culled closely and nothing but the znost vigorous birds retained. They should not only be fed heavily, but should be fed such feeds as will give results. For this purpose it Is ne.eessary to supply cereal, animal, vezetable and mineral fele Cereal or g -rain feeds should form the principal part of the ration, end for best restate a certain proportion should be ground, The question is what are the best and most economical feede to use. During ordinary times, a mixture ef corn, wheat and oats ls popular, but un- der present conditions milliner wheat should be oonserved for hiunan food, and only the lower grades used for stock reed. Lower grade wheat, oats and corn. buck- wheat and barley-theye are all feeds that may be used to aavantge. The ex- tent to which. each 14 used will depend on prices. For ground feed, "Buckwheat screen- ing" niay l,c tmed to advantage, also mixtures containing bran, oornmeal, ground oats or other similar grains. Vegetable or green feed 5s absolutely necessary to keep the flook in thrifty condition. . For this purpose, sprouted oats is one of the very best. It not only supplies supplies succulence, but gvain feed as N1 ell. Mangels, turnips, cabbage, small.potatoes or other similar waste product's may all be used to al- vantrigae Animal or meat feed is a form of food that poulay keepers frequently neglect supplying. It is not possible for a hen to produce eggs profitably on an all -grain ration. Sour milk is -usually available on farms, and no anima1 feed will give better results, as it not only supplies the necessary feed, but it also keeps tile birds in good tone. If milk is not avail- able, beef scrap, blood flour. green cut bone or similar feeds must be supplied, to take the place of the grubs and, in- sects a Melt the birds get on range.
