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. Now is a good time to go over the I potato field and mark the hills that Iare to be nsea f er seed next year. 1111118 shottld be selected that have I nettle vigarous growth and that are free from blight or other diseases. The potatoes that are Marked to be eeed for seed should be dug earlier than the other potatoes, as experi- ments have shoWn that immature Pe- tatoes make the best seed. Unless a man cares to take the trouble and. I select his seed potatoes la this way, It wIll be best ter him to buy his seed. Seed obtained from northern Ontar.o is highly recommended by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, but a bad frost a few weeks ago die conselerable damage to the potato ereP, so that seed potatoes from this sedon may be scarce next year. It pay e to take no chances. Tb.e work on the cultivated crops is practically over with this month. If the cultivation has been thorough during the early part of the season the crop should be free of weeds, and any weeds that may start to grow now -will stand a poor chance against, y• -y . . VON PAYER'S OFFER. Restore Belgium If No Na- tion Better Placed. • Copenhagen, Cable. -The Ger- many might restore Belgium, without conditions or indemnities, in case no other country would be better situated as regards Belgium than Germany, was the belief expressed to -day by Freidrich von Payer, the Imperial 1 ,* ss PASV nittrresnegefik. evesturv,A 't ae.• E c*. •• The fall is the best time to prepare the land for next season's crop. All the fall plowing should be done that ean be undertaken. The fall, more- over, is the best time to kill weeds. Man', men kill weeds by summer fat. lowing, and then put wheat in, in the fall. They will certainly kill the weeds if the work is done thoroughly, but it means the loss of a year's crop. -A batter way is to practice after harvest cultivatIon As soon as the crop Is taken off, the land sheuld be plowed shallow, say thre or four inches, and then culte vated. This will germinate the weeds, and they should then be killed by fur. that' cultivation and harrowing. This should Ito kept up until just before tee freeee up, when the land ahould be ridged up with the double mould boar,/ plow. The great advantage of fall plow- ing is that it saves labor in the spring For mangels an ideal way to do is to Practice atter-harvest culttvation in the way described above, and then give the land a good dressing of barn- yard manure just before the land is ridged up. Old pastures and meadows should be plowed up frequently. If land is seeded down to grass too long, it will become infested with wireworms and white grubs. The fall is the best tiMe to break up old sod, Many good corn growers prefer te plow the land for cern, in the spring, but it the land is at all heavy ,wa would prefer to plow IC In the fall. The freezing and thawing in the win- ter will help to break up the clods. and an ideal seed bed can be made welch, if the plowing were left to spring, might be very lumpy and un- even. Now is the time to put lime on the soil. Just because a soil is not acid It does not mean that it does not re. quire rime. On a heavy, tenacious clay we would apply lime whether it was acid or not. The lime will make the clay -loose and friable and more easily wroked. Four tons per acre of ground Vice -Chancellor of Germany, in a speech delivered at Stuttgart.

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.

S. Saves Fuel, Helps Health, Aids Food Output. • In a single day the personal habits 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.
