Five distinct tests have been made at
the College in comparing twenty-one
different mixtures in grass and clover's
for hay production. One test wa.s start-
ed in 1897, one in 1898, two M 1900, and
one in 19(16. l ach of these tests have
been euutpletetl with the exception of
the last one mentioned, which will be
finished in 19(18. Crops of green fodder
and of hay were obtained from the four
tests in each of two. years. Alfalfa was
included in seven of the mixtures. Of
the twenty-one different combinations
the six highest yielders of hay contained
alfalfa -the greatest yield being produc-
ed by the mixture of alfalfa and tall oat
grass. The details of the entire experi-
ment will not be presented until after
the results of (9005 have been secured.
The following table, however, gives the
average annual yield in tons of green
fodder and of hay per acre of four of
the mixtures in the four tests already
completed:

tall oat grass . • . 10.77 3.39
Common red clover and
timothy .. , . , . 10.99 3.20
Although alfalfa and tall oat grass
gave an average yield of 1.2 tons of hay
per acre more than common red clover
and timothy, it is doubtful if even this
mixture Will equal alfalfa alone for hay
production.
Permanent pastures have never mei-
pied as prominent a place in the agricul-
ture of Ontario as they have in the agri-
culture of Great Britain. The scarcity
of labor and the great development of
our live stock induetry are factors whieh
are causing some of aur most thought-
ful farmers to eonsidsr the advisability
of securing a first-class permanent pas-
ture instead of relying so inucll on tim-
othy for pasture purposes. Fields which
are located long distances from the
farm buildings or which are difficult to
work on account of the presence of steep
hill -side, crooked rivulets; 100.' spots, etc.,
might be converted into permanent pas-
tures and thus prove 'of great econonih
value, This arrangement would not in-
terfere materially with the regular crop
rotation of the farm. From more than
twenty years' work in. testing different
varieties of grasses and clovers, both
singly, and in eounbitaation, I would sug-
gest the following mixture for perman-
ent pasture on alt average soil in On-
tarid: Alfalfa, 5 lbs.; alsike clover, 2
lbs.; white clover, 2 lbs:; meadow fes-
cue • 4 1315.; orchard grace, 4 lbs.; tall
of 24 pounds of seed per acre. 'These
varieties are all very hardy. Some of
Home need in Great Britain are not
permanent in this country. None of
the »»taller growing varieties, such as
the blue grasses and the bent grasses,
are mentioned, as there is ecarc:Jy a
farm in Ontario in which the Canadian
blue grass, elle Kentucky blue grass or
the red top will nut grow naturally.
The varieties )fere recommended are
strong, vigorous grousers. Some of then,
produee pasture very early in the spring
and others later in the season. Most
of the varieties are superior to timothy
in producing a growth during the hut,
dry weather which oceasionatly 011081s
hi the ntuutlts of July and August. The
seed can be sown in the early spring
either alone or with a light eee(tiag of
spring wheat or barley. Such a mixture
as this when well est8b]islted on suitable
land should furnish a pasture, abundant
in growth, excellent at quality, and per-
manent in character.
Alfalfa should be very carefully test-
ed on many farms throughout Ontario.
Its large yields of nutritious feed for
farm stock, its perennial character of
growth, and its beneficial influence on
the soil, are all features whieh commend
it very highly for those farms on which
it can be grown successttnily.
There are different ways of laying
down a plot or a field to alfalfa, and we
would su.g;est the following method as
one which is likely to give very exeei:ent
results. Select land having a clean, mil -
low, fertile surface soil overlying a decp-
ly-drained subsoil having no acidify. Lee
large, plump seed, free from impurities
and strong in germinating power. In-
o('ulatte the seed with the proper land of
bacteria, providing alfalfa 31as not been
grown successfully on the land in recent
years. As early in the Spring ars the
land is dry enough and warm enough
to be worked to good. 1dvaLnt1(0, make a
suitable seedbed and immediately saw
about twenty pounds of alfalfa seed ser
acre from the grass seed boa, placed in
front of the grain drill, anti a about one
bushel of spring wheat or ilarley per
acre from the tubes of the drill. Smooth
the land with a light harrow or with, a
weeder, and if it is very loose and, rather
dry, also roll it and again go over it
with the harrow or the weeder. As soon
es ripe, cut the grain, and avoid leav-
ing it on the land longer than necessary.
Give the alfalfa plants every opportun-
ity ,to get a good start in the autumn
in preparation for the winter. If for
hay, cut each crop of alfalfa in the fel-
lowing year as sone as it starts to bloom,
In curing, try and retain as many of the
leaves on the stems as possible, and to
protect the crop front rain, Never cure
or pasture alfalfa sufficiently close to
the ground to remove the erewas of the
roots, and thus injure or possibly kill
the plants. If these directions are fol-
lowed, the alfalfa may be expected to
produce large end valuable crops for a
number of year:, without re -seeding. -
