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.

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.

Miss Powell from Specialize in Turnips Wellington completed the res of turnip's eighth of the province. Tow-thirds of these tur­ nips will be sold for table purposes in United' States cities. Many tur­ 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.

She also showed us different kinds of textile goods and it proved that the “Canadian made goods” were the best, so why should we import goods when our own are better.

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. buyer finds a breeder enthusiastic over his breed and proud of the suc­ cess which his herd is bringing him, it' is not difficult to sell the cattle which-are before him. man to farmer’s give the When a i SWEET CLOVER AS MANURE ONTARIO GARDENERS COMPETITIONS French River, Home of Wiley “Muskie,” Will Soon Echo Cries of Elated Anglers as They Battle Fresh Water Tiger ‘Wr<?4LO>V?t AT F7se/Jc/1 QiSWZ.

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.

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. Current Crop Report According to reports received from practically every county, crops in Ontario are looking excellent and promise to give heavier yields than have been enjoyed for some time. Ovei* most of the provinces hay will give a larger yield than last year. Fall wheat is headed out and barley and oats are heading out in southern part of the province, ting alfalfa and .sweet clover been fairly .general during the ten days and haying is now in swing throughout the province, dairy production is at its peak farmers are dissatified with prices being paid for milk products for the manufacture of cheese and butter and condensed milk.
