A thing that took place over 40
years ago; was brought to my mind
by reading the piece on the bank in
which it spoke of the first grist mill.
Some of your readers will remember
the- canal that ran down the side of
the roadway to the mill and of the
carding mill that was built on the
north side jqst before you got to the
mill and between the carding mill
and the grist mill was the sluice, The
:gate had been opened and a Jarge
quantity of water was pouring
through making a large foam that
looked ■ like milk. There was a pig
on the bank and seeing the white he
wanted to get the milk so he, as I
watched, went down to the water and
went in a little, then backed out,
then' went to another point, went in
further but seeing he could not get
or reach it he, with a grunt, backed
pig. If it had gone in so the water
had caught it in its' grip it might
have drowned. Now, we can learn
from the action of that pij£ for many
of us do not stop but go on and
out and went up on the bank. Wise

To Mahy Accidents
With the advent of haying time
farmers should pay particular at
tention to the avoidance of accidents
which have occurred all too fre-
Qently jn past seasons. The life of
more than one child has been taken
by the sickle-bar because the driver
of the team was not watching the
field ahead of him. Workmen by
the score have been injured by not
taking on the proper care when
working around the machinery, and
the accidents caused by carelessness
with, pitchforks must reach an ap-
palling total. Every farmer should
be first impressed with dangers
himself and then warn his men to
exercise the utmost care.

nip fields received very special cul
tivation this, year. Some of the
fields were summer fallowed last
July and August and ridged up in
September, manured this spring,
thoroughly worked down, then plow
ed again harrowed, rolled, fertilized
and ridged and rolled again urstil
many of the fields look like market
gardens. Some start to scuffle thejr
turips before the seed is up in order
to encourage rapid growth of the
plants and easier hoeing. Constant,
cultivation produces a crisp, sweet
product of high quality, free of
recent rains. Many fai’lhers and
especially those living in tile well-
known seed clover districts in Cen
tral, Eastern and Western Ontario,
are finding- that this rougihg of the
fields is not as difficult as supposed-
The weeds stand up very promin
ently and one slight pull will
remove them.
“The fields seem to have
weeds, than they really have,’’
a York County observer, “as
of them usually have from, three or
four branches, but til come together
with a single pull. Owners of the
fields intended for seed should bear
in mind that it is almost impossible
to separate many of our worst
weeds, such as sweet clover, curled
dock and catch fly from the com
mercial seed crops, and on this ac-
. count they are strongly advised to
go over their fields now.” It is
pointed out that the widespread re
putation of Peel County as an al
falfa producer is largely due to the
fact that for years, they have made
a regular practice of rouging their
fields of weeds.

If Ontario livestock breeders are
to maintain the lucrative market
which obtains today it is not suf
ficient that they have plenty of good
animals to sell. In order tq keep
outside buyers interested, the sur
roundings in which the cattle are
kept should be attractive. One
.breeder who lias had remarkable
success in .selling livestock, recently
observed that next to the condition
and quality of the animals for sale,
the neatness and cleanliness around
the barns were the most important
factors in predisposing a
buy. They indicate the
pride in his business and
impression’ of prosperity.

The Ontario Vegetable Growers’
Association holds two competitions
yearly, one for field crops and the
other for a Garden Competition to
encourage well-kept * premises. In
the field crop . competition various
classes of vegetables are to be
grown such as cabbage, lettuce, to
matoes, onions, etc. For both com
petitions to be” held there must not
be less than ten eateries from each
district. The province is. divided as
follbws: 1. Brookville, Cyrville,
Kingston, Limoges. Northumberland
Ottawa, Peterborough, Prince Ed
ward, Rednersville, Whitby. 2.
Ancaster, Brantford, Beamsville,
Burlington, Dunnville, Niagara, St.

tions are open only to members of
the Ontario Vegetable Growers’ As
sociation. C
During recent years many farmers
have been growing sweet clover in
rotation with potatoes^ A full crop
of sweet clover ploughed under may
be considered worth as much as 25
to 30 tons of barnyard manure.
Where farmers have plenty of man
ure available it may not be desir
able to grow sweet clover for the
purpose of plowing it down but
where tile manure supply is limited
it has been profitable to follo'w’ the
above plan of action. The most es
sential precautions to be observed
jn^gi’.owing sweet‘clovev are to make
sure that the soil is not acid, that
it is well enough drained to prevent
heaving and that the seed is inocu
lated.

from practically every county, crops

have been enjoyed for some time.
