It Is advisable where Immediate reply Is neoessary that
a stamped and addressed envelope be enclosed with the
Henry G. BeIL question, when the answer will be mailed direct.
Question—E, L. S:—I have a piece
of sandy landwhich is practically un-
productive. Would. it be wise to sow
it to sweet clover this spring with a
cover crop of rye? I want to build it
Up, but do not know the most practical
and quick method.
Answer:—Sweet clover would be a
good crop to put on this thin soil.
Under normal conditions it can be
sown with rye, however, I question if
the rye has net grown too rank for
this' spring's sowing, unless you are
seeding it with spring rye. If so
you -should prepare the seed -bed well
as in preparing it for whe..t, and be-
fore -harrowing the ground spread one
to two tons of ground limestone or a
ton two air -slaked burnt lime overthe
ground. Work this in thoroughly in
order to sweeten the ground, This
should be done, if possible, a week be-
fore the seed is sown.. At the time
of seeding, sow about three-quarters
of a bushel of =hulled seed to the
acre;, or if hulled seed is obtained,
about twenty pounds to the acro. In
ordert to make sure of a catch, I would
advise the application of 200 to 250
pounds per acre of fertilizer, in order
to give the young crop quickly avail-
ableplantfood, which will cause it to
make an early vigorous start. If you
are ,owing this seed on top of fall
sown rye, follow the seeding by har-
rowing the rye, being sure that the
harrows run with the rows and not
across them. ' This harrowing will
burythe sweet clover seed and should
give it a good. start. If you are ferti-
Iizing the rye at the time of seeding
sweet; clover, I would advise drilling
or broadcasting the fertilizer before
You barrow the crop. The second
year•'e growth of sweet clover should
be plowed under as soon as it has
made' maximum growth in early
spring. Sweet clover will add consid-
erabl@@ organic, matter and some nitro-
Iamb nce it has on its roots, nodules
where. the sweet clever bacteria. live.
These bacteria have the power of tak-
ing Nitrogen out of the soil air and of
incorPorating it in the roots of the
sweet clover plants so that the soil is
richer• in nitrogen after growing sweet
clove •than it was before.
Question—S. J.:—I would like to
know/1110w to get a sure catch of clover
and how to test seed. I work 20
acres$$ keep two horses and two cows.
I so 'ed four acres of rye on wheat

barleje? 'Which is the best barley to
sow, u d where can I get it?
An''ver:—The answer toq uestion
No. 11 covers the answer to the first
part laf question No. P, granted that
yourye crop has not made too great
a gro 'th. If it has made too great
a growth already to allow harrowing,
do net attempt clover seeding until
next Beason. Clover seed should be
sownon top the winter wheat or rye
as scan as the frost is out of the
ground in the spring. It should be
immediately harrowed in.
Barley is sown in the same way as
wheat or oats; that is, if you have a
grain drill suited to the sowing of
wheat or oats, it is also adjustable to
the seeding of barley. If not, pre-
pare the seed -bed well and then scat-
ter evenly broadcast a bushel and a
fie arer <.
The cream from different breeds of
cows does not churn alike.
The fat globules in the milk of a
Jersey or a Guernsey cow are larger
than those of other breeds, and conse-
quently break more easily.
If the milk and cream containing
large .fat globules and milk containing
small fat .globules are mixed, there
will be a loss in the churning.

half to a bushel and three pecks to the
acre of good barley seed. A variety
that has given the best results in On-
tario is Maudseheuri. This is a variety
developed by Prof. 0. A. Zavitz of On-
tario Agricultural College, In re-
cent years a selection has been made
from this barley under the name of 0.
A.C. No. 21. This is superior in
strength of straw and is a little
heavier yielder thea the average bare
ley in Ontario, You can locate seed
of it by addressing prof, C. A. Zavitz,
Ontario Agricultural' College, Guelph.
Question—C. D.:—Could you give
me information concerning the seed-
ing of sweet clover with fall wheat.
Would the clover be all right sown hi
the spring the same as June clover?
flow would you sow it? Would you
drill it in, or would a drill cut the
wheat roots too much? How much
would you sow per acre?
Answer:—Sweet clover can be seed-
ed with full wheat and rye, as describ-
ed in answer to question No, 1. The
best time to seed it is early in spring.
If you have machinery for drilling the
seed, you can get a little evener dis-
tribution and the seed will be planted
at en even depth. Be sure and do
not get it planted too deep. As a
rule an inch, to an inch and a half is
deep enough for clover seed.
Question—J. R. M.:—(1) I have
a piece of old meadow in which I
want to plant potatoes. Have plenty
of manure for same. I want to plow
potatoes in. Would you advise put-
ting manure on sod, plow potatoes in,
and disc -harrow after plowing?
(2) Mow deep should sod be plow-
ed for potatoes?
(3) When is the best time to plant
potatoes to get the best yielding
crolis?'
(4) Does rye cut green make good
horte feed for winter feeding?
Answer: -In preparing your old
meadow for a potato patch, I would
advise: plowing down the sod, about
five or six inches deep. If the manure
is well rotted, apply about five loads
to the acre, and then disk and harrow
it into the soil thoroughly. If it is
fresh manure, do not put it on your
potato patch, since it tends to' harbor
potato scab spores. In order to get
largest yields of. best quality potatoes
you will do well to. add,'in addition to
the manure that you put on the soil,
about 50 lbs. of a fertilizer carrying
andfrom 8 to
3 to 4% ammonia
10ii.available 'phosphoric .acid, and
possibly 1% potash..... Scatter,200lbs.
of this fertilizer, per acre over the
ground before the last harrowing,
which will work it into the soil. At
the time you are planting your pota-
toes strike the plow furrows and then
scatter a light dusting of fertilizer all
up the furrow. Follow this by put-
ting :n a light covering of soil over the
fertilizer, then drop the potatoes and
cover as usual. Potatoes should not
be planted until there is reasonable;
certainty of the early sprouting tubers
escaping frost. In the central part
of Ontario, this would delay the plant-
ing until early in May.
Rye cut green makes a fair quality
hay. If allowed to grow until it is
thoroughly ripened, the straw is re-
latively poor and' lacks nourishment,
Henry, in his "Feeds and Feeding"
says, "Cereal hay (which includes rye)
may often be advantageously employ-
ed for horse feeding. However, rye
should be used in moderation. -In ac-
tually practice we have found it to
give horses indigestion if they are al-
lowed to feed' too freely upon it. •
It is all right to divide the calves
with the boys, but don't forget to
divide the proceeds of the sales, too.

The cheapest winter feed that can
be produced for the dairy cow is a
combination of alfalfa and ensilage.
The one safe guide in ascertaining
any cow's annual production of milk

CANADIAN GRAINS,
Varieties Reeomnended For Use In

The varieties here 'recommended
have been thoroughly tested and have
shown excellent qualities. • While
they may not be adapted to every con-
dition of soil and climate, they have
demonstrated their , suitability ,for
large areas in the provinces for which
they are recommended,
Other very geocl sorts, .almost or
quite equal to those mentioned, could
,have been added to the list, but it ap-
pears undesirable to recommend an
unnecessarily large number of
varieties.
Spring Wheat,—Red Fife and White
Fife are good standard sorts but rath-
er late in ripening in northern
localities.
Huron, Marquis and Early Red Fife
are earlier in ripening.
All the varieties mentioned are good
for bread -making, but Huron is not;
equal in this respect to the others. It
is, however, parttoularly vigorous and
productive and is highly recommended,
In extreme northern districts, Pre-
lude will be found valuable if the soil
is fairly rieh and the rainfall suffici-
ent.
In Southern Ontario, the very late
variety, Blue Stem, gives good results,
It is rather mere resistant to drought
than most sorts. Goose wheat is use-
ful in extremely dry localities, though
the price of this variety is often quite
low, as it is not used for bread -mak-
ing. Kubanka, closely resembling
Goose, makes excellent bread, but it is
so different from ordinary wheats that
millers object to grinding it. Goose
is usually more productive than
Kubanka.
Oats,—Banner and Ligowo are two
of the best sorts. Ligowo is slightly
the earlier in ripening, but generally
produeea a smaller crop. Daubeney
may be used where extreme earliness
is desired. O.A.C. No. 72, (a selec-
tion from Siberian), is a very produc-
tive, late -maturing variety.
Barley, Manchurian and Ontario
Agricultural. College No. 21 are recon-
mended, among the six -row sorts. .
Duckbill, and the best strains of
Chevalier are recommended among the
two -row sorts.
No varieties of beardless or hulless
barley can be recommended. Success
(beardless). is of very early ripening
habit.
Peas.—Among yellow peas, Arthur
is most highly recommended for earli-
ness and productiveness, Golden Vine,
Chanaeller anti Whlto ldnrrowfat are
also good sorts.
I'ruseien Blae, Wisconsin Blue and
English Grey are good colored peas.—

Pure Water for Soldiers.
Formerly much sickness in armies
was caused by drinking impure Wa-
ter—not only typhoid, but other mala-
dies, such as dysentery. Soldiers, if
thirsty, would drink from a swamp or
a puddle. But nowadays this matter
is looked after with utmost rare, pre-
caution being taken to examine every
source of water supply for troops
chemically" and bacteriologically. In
Europe, a special caution has to be
exercised against the possible poison-
ing of wells—this being reported from
France as the latest thing in "fright-
fulness."

The concrete root cellar is a farm
structure which has found great pop-

into the ground on a side hill, not only
makes freezing impossible but in ad-
dition affords protection from water
and from burrowing animals, such as
rats, mice and squirrels, and is. easily
kept clean. A six-inch layer of
gravel or cinders is first placed and
well tamped and on top of this is laid'
a six-inch concrete floor, The follow-,
ing clay the walls, which should be 8..

There is a theory that the way to
keep a hog well is to keep him and his
food and surroundings clean, Worth
trying,
The sooner the pigs are all out on
pasture the better. , It is natural for
hogs to eat grass.
A good hog pasture cuts the cost of
growing pigs and hogs in'two.
Many men seem to ignore the need
and craving for grass that fa as na-
Lural to a pig as it is to a cow.
A young farrmer grew a lot of pigs
last year on clover and alfalfa pasture.
He fitted them for the butcher on
sugar beets and corn grown on .the
farm,
•
That pork was surely, healthy, and
cost less than ' it Would have done
under less intelligent management:
The fcodiuig period of the hog 'is
short, and the more,quickly it is grown
the greater the profit.
