the crop whtell is already in posses-
• sion of the land.
By 'September most of the grain in
Ontario bee been out, and all that re-
mains is the harvesting Of the Cern
potatoes and root crops. On aecOnnt
of the late maturing varieties of corn
that have had of necessity to be
grown in the province this year, it is
probable that much of thecorn will
have to be cut before it is properly
mature. The hest time to cut corn
for silage is when it is in the firm
dough or glazed stage.
There is quite an art in Making
first-class silage. The beat silage is
made when xio water is added, but, at
the same time, we have seen very
good silage when a large quantity or
water has been added. It should be
well tramped down, especially around
the sIdes.
If the corn is very juicy and leek -
lug in maturity when cut, it is best
to let ft lie a few days before putting
It into the silo. The corn binder is a
great help in harvesting the crop, and
if a farmer does not feel like buying
one himself, ,he might get one or two,
of his neighbors to go shares with
him.
With a corn binder and three horses
In corn that is standing wen, three
men, one to drive and two to shock,
can harvest about twice as much as
when cutting by hand. Froin seven to
nine acres can be eta in a ten-hour
day with a binder. The time three
men could scarcely cover more than
four acres in the same length of time
when cutting by hand. With the
binder they can cut and shock a
forty.aere field of corn in a week or
less, effecting a big saving in time.
The binder delivers tho corn in
bundles, which makes it considerably
easier to handle, both in loading on
wagons and at the ensilage cutter.
It tue corn is very dry when harvest-
ed or has been caught by the frost, it
will be necessary to add some water
te laeep out the air ana make the
silage pack properly, Just how muck
water should be added will depend
on circumstances. Experience is the
best guide.
When corn is not put in the silo it
should .be stooked. Large stooks are
best as the corn will keep better.
Some *triflers prefer dry fodder corn
to silage.. Robert Miller, of Stouff.
ville, considers that silage is bad
for bulls that are being used for see
vice, and cuts his corns and leaves
it but in the field and hauls it in as
required. For the man who is feed-
ing dairy cows or fattening cattle for
the market the silo, however, is well
nigh indispensible. Silage is cheaper
to grow than roots, and experiments
have shown that a cow will produce
more milk and a steer will make bet-
ter gains if the corn is made into sil-
age rather than fed dry.

of the colt and whether a is necessary
to use the mare for heavy fall work.
The weauing process should be grad-
ual, both for the sake ot the colt
and the mare. If the colt Is wean-
ed too suddenly, it will fret and worry,
and as likely as not suffer from in-
digestion. The mare also will fret and
be uneasy about the colt, and unless
she is milked out a few times pro-
bably will develop udder trouble. It
the colt has been aecustomed to eat -
lug at his mother's box if he is wean-
ed gradually little trouble should be
experienced,
Many farmers larder to have their
mares foal in the fall. A pregnant
mare may be worked' up alm•st to
the time she drops her foal, but the
wore should be light If she is sub-
jected to a heavy strain there is dan-
ger of her losing her foal. A week or
two before the foal is due, the mare
should be placed in a roomy, box stall
which has beee thoroughly disinfect-
ed, and which is well bedded with
straw. She may be still worked, but
at night she should be kept in the
box stall, so that she will become
accustomed to her new surrouudings,
Young mares should be gently
handled all over and become accus-
tomed to having their udder and their
flanks touched. This may prevent
trouble and annoyance. Some mares
do not like to have people around
them when they have their foal, and
if they become accustomed to being
handled in this way, before the foal
conies they will tiot be so resentful if
assistance is required when the foal
is born.
It is doubtful whether lt will pay to
feed grain to beef cattle on pasture
this year. As a rule wlien the pasture
becomes dry and pretty well eaten
over, it is best to ship the cattle to
market. In some eases ,however, it
may pay to give a little green feed.
Green corn is excellent for this pur-
pese. A man who has some silage left
over from the winter is to be en-
vied. Rape is used ay some men as
a fall pasture when they wish to
keep their cattle and market them
nearer Christmas time,
Most lambs will have been weaned
by this time. it not they should be
weaned at once. Care must be taken
that udder trouble does not develop in
the eves. The lambs shduld be placed
on some good clover or rape pasture.
Be careful in turningethem in this tor
the first time, otherwise their heads
may swell up or they may, develop
bloat. Turn them in in the afternoon
when there is no rain on the pasture,
and only leave them in a few hours,
at first, When rape is being pastured
it is a good plan to allow them the
run of another field as well.
With .regartl to the appearlance of
the American troops in the war, the
N'tee-Chancellor said:
"Nobody will deny the co-operation
of the American troops on the front
means a heavy and even increasing
burden for us. Our enemies, how-
ever, forget that if the Americans floe
appear by hundreds of thousands at
the front we have already put mil-
lions of Russians, Serbians and Rou-
manians out of action. And the En-
tente will not succeed in winning
them back for their own purposes,"

of 100,000,000 people were radically
changed by the paesing of the day-
light-saving law, and that change has
greatly benefited the nation's health,
Promoted gardening on an unprece-
dented scale, and has conserved great
quantities of fuel through the use of
less artificial light. Householders
have been among those who have en-
joyed the most marked reduction in
lighting bills.
An Illinois county seat Itt which are
891 meters, installed in homes and
email stores, furnishes figures which
probably can be taken as typical of
thousands of American communities.
in April, 1917, the current used was
23,600 kw. -hr., and le April, 1918, 21,-
942 kw. -hr. The censumptIon for May
last year and this year was 21,672 kw. -
hr. and 19,934 kw. -hr., respectively,
making a slightly larger decrease than
.or April, while in June, preliminary
estimates showed, the saving in light-
ing current would be very much great-
er. In the giant supplying this town,
approximately 31/2 lb. of Illinois coal
is consumed in. making 1 kw. -hr. of
electricity. Estimating the average
monthly saving of the community at
leen kw. -hr., an added hour of day-
light for seven =laths elaeoretically
will effect a saving of more than 22
tons of coal. If, as seems altogether
probable, thousands or other commun-
ities have made a similar record, the
tetal saving is enormous.
In large office buildings the saving
has been, and will be, email during
the *period of changed time because
practically all the offices are enipty
before tbe hour of darkness arrives.
On the other hand, clubs, hotels, etc.,
have experienced a saving in artificial
light estimated at 4 or 5 per cent. In
one nationally known hotel the daily
average of current used during April,
1917, was 3,451 kw, -hr. as compared
with 3,087 kw, -hr. in April, 1s18, while
the daily average for May of last
year and this were 3,830 kw. -hr. and
2,920 kw, -hr., respectively. As in other
planta during these war times,' a con-
siderable part of the saving is not due
to the change of time alone, but to
greater care in using lights and to the
installation , of smaller lamps, etc.
Making allowance for theae factors,
the daily saving In this hotel on ac-
count of the change of time will aver-
age as much as 170 kw -hr. In the
seven-month period theoretically this
hotel will save 71 tons of coal, ap-
proximately four pennds of fuel being
required to produce 1 kW, -hr. of cur-
rent.
The chiet executive ef a large group
of public -utility companiee which nor-
mally spend 450,000,000 a year on ex-
tensions and improvemeats, estimates
that the new time sehedade has caus-
ed a three or four per cent. reduction
in the amount of lighting current sup-
plied by his companies. What this
would actually amount to ift terms of
coal was not -stated. Early this spring
this public -utility expert advocated
the adoption of the new time sched-
ule for the entire year, believing that
it would be a public benefit. The
Fuel adininlatratiou baa also argued
tor the extension of the plan to in-
clude the winter months. ;Mt more
recently the expert referred to has
changed his attitude, declaring that
figures obtaleed front his engineers
show such diserepaneles that he is
uncertain as to what benefit, it any,
would result front a winter daylight-
saving schedule.
The change of time lute been a big
factor in increaeing gardening in
towns and cities. Thousands of fac-
tory employeee in Industrial centres
'are able to raise produce for the first
time, The bathing beaches, parks
awl other outdoor recreation centres
have had big inerettees in patronage.
The of the Mirage Health 'de-
. partmeut says that the present semen
'shows a big tleetense in disease in
that elle% and he attributee much ot
the improvement to tittellght saving.

fuel -saving measure, as well as front
