The greater prevalence Of droughts
as the country grows older is partly
owing to the fact that soils long cult
waited do not hold water as they do
when full Of vegetable matter. This
is especially true where tbl soil is
heavy and has at some tine been
worked while wet. 1t often requires
years Of cultivation with winter freez-
ing and thawing to fully break up the

these clods will remain for years, as

EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.


Something About Those Conducted BY the
Canadian Government.
For several years past the provinces
and the federal government Of Canada
have been taking an nctive interest in
the improvement Of agricultural meth
DDS throughout the provinces, and at
present the equipments Of their So
called experimental farms" are very
complete and efficient. The central ex-
detrimental farm, situated near Ottawa,
comprises some 800 acres Of land and
a complete outfit Of buildings and the
necessary machinery. The buildings
are especially fitted up for cattle,
horses, pigs and poultry, and all Of
these are well stocked. There is q
dairy equipped with the modern ap-
pliances for carrying on experimental
work. The farm includes sccd-test-
ing and propagation house and con-
servatory. Besides this central station
there are eleven experimental farms
situated In other parts Of Canada, and
these carry on experiments in agricul-
ture, horticulture and arboriculture
with much profit. The several farms
are situated so as TO render them as
helpful as possible to the most thickly-
populated districts, and in their equip
ments and general methods they re-
semble closely the central station.
The staff Of workers at the central
experimental farm includes a director,
an agriculturist, a horticultural,
botanist, an entomologist and chem
LIST. There are also poultry manager,
foreman Of forestry and several
assistants to assist the members Of the
staff. The work is varied in nature
and has to do with practically every
thing which relates to farming in Can
ada. The adaptability aud merits Of
various varieties of wheat are, for ex-
ample, the subject Of careful inquiry.
Experiments are carried on to deter
mine the vitality and purity Of various
agricultural seeds, and to investigate
the nature Of the diseases Of plants and
trees, and the cure for the ravages Of
insects. Various varieties Of fertilizers
are tested to determine their compare
tive value with different soils and crops.
The study Of the care Of animals Is q
very important interest, and the value
Of different breeds Of stock and their
adaptability TO various climates and
other conditions are carefully lnvesti-
gated, These stations examine the
scientific and economic sides Of butter
and cheese making. Experiments are
carried on to determine the best meth
DDS Of planting and pruning trees for
fruit raising or for shelter or timber.
The information gained In all this
work Is carefully recorded and pub
llshed for general distribution. -Scien.
