RA gli.FF.FkfECF i r /4e4$/or'04 FARMNE WS AND VIEWS His Majesty As FIax Grower Excellent results have 'been secured form a pedigreed flax crop grown by His Majesty theKingat Sandring- ham. It is offically stated that . com- pared with flax from the U.S.S.R., the King's crop, processed under or- dinary conditions, produced treble the yield per acre and a fibre worth. over $84 per ton more. At present 80 per cent of the raw material of the British linen industry is supplied from U.S.S.R. An account of the Sandring- ham experiment 'and. its bearing on flax growing and fibre production is, in the course of publication. Live Stock In Orchards Ordinarily y live stock should not be allowed to remain in orchards but in cases of severe infestation of apple maggot, they are valuable, says the Dominion Department of Agriculture in :keeping the ground free from the fallen apples asthe maggots 'do not leave the fruit until some days •after the apples have fallen. The live stock could have run of the crchards at night during late summer and fall) and thus keep the apples eaten up. Seaweed As Fertilizer Seaweed is essentially a potassic r , u t a so contains matt ble amounts of nitrogen andother elem- ents of plant food, so that it might be termed ;a complete manure,' says the 1 Dominion nunion Clheinist, Analysis of many Canadian seaweeds, more es- pecially from the Atlantic seaboard, have been made in the Experimental Farm L bo ., a zatoi•ies at Ottawa, and it has been found that the manurial value of seaweed•is greatly enhanced by its ready decomposition in the Broil, It quickly decays, liberating its con- stituents in form's available for plant nutrition, It is quite unnecessary to compost it, but the weathering of sea- weed alone is a wasteful proess. On the whole, the best plan is to apply the :seaweed direct to the soil, with which it readily becomes incorpor- ated. It is intrinsically of the nature of a quick acting, forcing nature. Western Forage Crops The amount of cultivated Land' de- voted to forage crops in the three Prairie Provinces has been relatively unimportant as compared with the area which has been seeded annually, The statistics which are avaible show that hay and ` pasture crops occupy in the neighbourhood of five per cel about half of which, or 1,000,000 acres is improved pasture. These figures taken by themselves, however, says E. Kirk; Dominion Agrostol- ogist, are misleading in that they .;do not include cl n u e d cereal crops which are pastured or harvested in the sheaf for hay. The latter. in Western Can- ada is very important. Oats alone are grown more extensively for feed than all bther forage crops combined. No estimates are available of the uncult- ivated pasture lands, which are very important also and are chiefly re- sponsible for the limited acreage of improved pasture. About 7,000,000 acres of ranching country are leased: for grazing purposes. The Morning's Milk While milk should be "cooled as promptly as possible, in certain cases the morning'smilk must leave the farm so early that complete cooling is impossible. Often the only altern- ative is to hold this milk over 'until next morning before shipping, since. certain milk companies and cities still require all milk to be below a certain rwliWS111 ',A0N-SN. / / / / / •/ / / / •/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / GlittOt/*/ its-, NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE HOLIDAYING YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND A DOMINION STORE li 1 CONVENIENT s LY LOCATED � �ir•.xt v nubnnD n �r !

During this periodh • t e substance in freshly drawn milk kno- wn ' as lactenin ,serves to restrain bac- terial growth, However, the exhaus- tion of the lactenin from the delay in cooling ultimately results in a short- ening of the time the milk will keep.. Hence it is highly desirable that the cooling process be carried ant as' far as possible :before the milk leaves the farm,—Dominion Agriculture Bacter- iologist. Imported Pedigree Live '•BStock i An important development i1 past year in the cattle trade bet Canada 'and the United Kingdo that the Canadian Government recognized the'London (Eng Quarantine Station, under the isions of the trade agreement chided at the Ottawa Conference. Canadian Government has offic notified its' willingness to allow import into Canada of pedigree tle, sheep, goats, other rumin and swine from Great Britian pr ed that the animals have been q antined at the London Station fourteen days immediately prece embarkation for Canada. The of of this, the Empire Marketing Bo points out, is that the import of p igree stock' into Canada is now mitted during periods when the U td Kingdom is not entirely free f foot-and-mouth disease, l Header -Barge- Harvesting. The header barge method of1 vesting which is in vogue in'seve prairie districts consists of elevat t1e'headed grain into a large .box barge. This barge is attched to a b der, header, ,swather, or; comb platform, the whole being pulled f ward as a unit. For use with bind or small headers, the barges are wally about 8 feet by 8 by 7, mou ed on two wheels, with the balan the centre. When used with swather of combine cutting platform, the same principles' of construction are followed, the barges generally be ing made larger. Eight feet wide by 8 high by 14 or 16 feet long are us- uai sizes. One man is employed as .a stacker in the barge, and it is his duty to tramp the grain and build a good stack. Building a good stack, says the Department of Agriculture Engineering of the• University of Al- berta, is really the secret of.,seccess with this harvesting system. If a go- od stack is made, there, need be little fear of ioss from spoilage, When the barge is full, and the stack' properly topped,,' it is tilted 'tip in front, the rear doors open, and the stack slides ,out onto the ground, The barge can best be used with.a binder, the latter, without modification, has not the same range of cutting height, or the same flexibiltiy fax rapid adjustment. of height that is possible with the other machines. - the ween m is has land) p ially the e at - ants Ovide for ding feet and ed- per- nit- rom tar- ral. ing or in- ine or- ers us- nt- nce. a Feed Mixtures For Pigs For growing pigs, 80 to 150 pounds live weight, the following meal mix- ture is .recommended by the Swine Division of the Dominion. Depart- ment of Agriculture: Ground oats, 200 pound's; ground barley, 200 pou- nds. ground wheat, 200 pounds; tank- age, 50 pounds. When ;the price of • wheat is relatively high,' one-half of the wheat may be replaced by equal quantities of oats and barley, As soon as pigs reach 150 pounds in weight, they are then ready to fatten. With regard to the feeding._ of fattening 150 pounds to 210 pounds, the follow- ing meal mixture has been found' by experince to be most useful and is recommended by the division:• grou- nd oats, 300 pounds ground barley, 750 pounds; tankage, 50 pounds: When the price is low enough, wheat inay replace part of the barley. When available, the addition of three per cent flaxseed will improve the meal mixtures for weaning and fattening pigs: Pruning Tomatoes Several methods of handling grow- ing toinatoe plants are commonly pratised, The plants, broadly speak- ing, are allowed to trail 'on the grou- nd with three or four branches form- ing, or they are trained to Stakes by tying. Under either system, the am- ount of vegetative growth allowed to develops is optional and dependant on local conditioris, some pruning is of advantage, The average tomato plant, When allowed to develope nor- mally, branches ottt considerably, and in any system of pruning 'where gr- owth is curtailed, the youTig shoots arising from the axils of heaves shou- ld be cut out. It is necessary to re- peat this 'operation several times dur- ing the growing season. The termin- al growth is allowed to develop and by this means plants can be trained to 'obe or more branches which, when 7rAi'IG'rii 3IWm].r1. ia, lru�liu: tied to stakes, grow four or five high, Grow More Alfalfa, Alfalfa, according to Dr, L. E. Kirk, Dominion Agrostologist, is a crop which can be grown more ex- tensively 1 4 Y t aan it at present in Wes- tern Canada. It is rather difficult, he says, to understand the slow progress which has been made by this crop. In years gone by the high price of seed was a serious drawback, but this is no longer the case, The. inferior resifts from 'imported seed have dis- couraged same farmers who have stif- fered losses through winter killing. This should no longer deter any one who contemplates growing alfalfa, since there is a surplus of hardy northern grown seed to he had at reasonable prices, In Dr, Kirk's op- inion the two most important factors in keeping down the acreage of alf- alfa are: (1) Improper management of the crop, resulting in winter in- jury, and (2) A,ttempting to grow the crop on fields that are poorly suited for the purpose. Both of these -have tended to discourage the . grower after a first or second attempt. Also the fact must be appreciated that alfalfa is not adapted d p to nearly as wide a variety of soils as some other leg- umes, for example, sweet clover. I#' alfalfa is seeded only on the best parts of the farm, it will be themost profitable P crop on the he farm, provid- ed the district is otherwise suited for this crop, tl.
