Harvest* ing is taking place two weeks earl* iei« than usual. Threshing’ reports from Western Ontario indicate a good yield of barley. H. Graham, of the Kemptville Agricultural School reports conditions in Eastern Ontario very satisfactory, Prospects are bright, for a bountiful grain har­ vest and late crops are not suffering fox’ lack of moisture as they have in Western Ontario, Northern Ontario is suffering from another extreme of weather—far too much rain. In Temiskaming particularly crop pros­ pects are very poor, 'owing to ex­ cessive rainfall in July. Farther north the situation is more satisfac­ tory and crop prospects in the Coch­ rane area are about normal.

More important' is the keeping of the stable clean and washing and sterilizing of the equip­ ment used. Following this there must be proper cooling of the cream or milk, and if selling cream, fre­ quent deliveries must be made, es­ pecially durjng the hot weather. No creameryman is in a position to make the highest grade of butter from cream that is not clean and of good flavor. A. dairyman can great­ ly assist in raising the score of our Canadian butter. Of course there must be proper’ equipment and care in the creamery. Too often cream is held too long at the farm to make first-class butter. A. D. Runions, agricultural repre­ sentative for Lennox and Addington in co-operation with the Department of Chemistry, O.A.C., is conducting fertilizer experiments with .some of the County’s most prominent grow­ ers in an effort to learn some meth­ od of hastening the ripening of to­ matoes at a sufficiently early date and hence miss the possibility of danger through an early frost. The acreage of tomatoes has-been con­ siderably increased this year and in spite of a,heavy loss in June from, an early frost, the plants give prom­ ise of a heavy crop, A so.lution of the above problem would mean' the difference between profit and loss for growers here. Four additional vining and weighing .stations have been built this year in Lennox and Addington and yet they are unable to adequately, handle the pea crop which is the heaviest ever handled there. k Every year a greater acreage devoted in Ontario to growing stich crops as peas, beans, tomatoes, corn and cucumbers for the canning trade. Mof/t of the growers find the returns satisfactory, this year promising to be better than usual. -While the weather has not been fa­ vorable to all crops', it has been suit­ able for peas. In Lambtoh County farmers received $52 a ton for peas and produced a yield as high as two tons per acre. In Durham one farmer had a yield of 4’600 pounds for which he received $126.50 and cleared $108.50 after paying .for the seed. One grower ir Essex report­ ed a clean profit of $726 from this crop alone. Beans ' will soon be ready for canning and growers are being paid $'55 per ton delivered at the factory. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Cooper, of Clinton, have returned home after an extended trip abroad. They sail­ ed from Montreal for England early in June, where they were present at the marriage of their only son, Wil­ lis Clark Cooper to Miss Florence Caird, daughter of Sir Andrew and Mr, and Mrs. Isaac Hord, well* known residents of Mitchell for over 60 years sixty-third which took place in London, in the old North Streep Methodist church.

Although there wili not be many new barns built this year, yet there will be the usual amount of remodelling of cow .stables. The stables should be constructed to keep out cold and conserve, the ani­ mal heat, at the same time letting the air move through the stable’by some well designed ventilating mea­ sure. In most cases the barns hav­ ing the poorest ventilation facilities are those where the inside tempera­ ture is too low. The following sug­ gestions could be followed to good advantage by dairy farmers: Don’t have the stable too high; eight feet to the bottom joists is«plenty.'Have as few doors as possible and have them tight. F'ouii' square feet of window lights per cow is sufficient Insulate the walls. Warm stables are desirable from every standpoint —if well ventilated. Lady Caird.
