Experiments with wheat.

Experiments with Wheat.
At the Ontario experiment station
tests with wheat have been a promi-
nent part Of the work. Some Of the re-
suits are reported on as follows:
The average Of several years results
from seeding at different dates shows
that the grain which was sown on or
before the ninth OF September gave a
considerably larger yield Of both straw
and grain than that which was sown
afft that date. The very best yields
were obtained from the wheat which
was sown in the last week Of August
An experiment with different prep
arations Of winter wheat land has
been conducted in duplicate In each Of
four years. The average results in
bushels Of grain per acre Of the eight
tests are as follows: Twenty tons Of
farm-yard manure per acre on bare
summer fallow. 40.s; crop Of peas
plowed under, 361: bare summer fall
low, 5S.8; crop Of buckwheat plowed
under, 29.6. These results show that
peas give much better results than
buckwheat when used as a green ma
nure on land TO be used for winter
wheat.
In an experiment conducted during
the past year in growing wheat on
grass sod and on clover sod It was
found that the former gave 2S.2 per
cent less in yield Of grain per acre
than the latter. Ten plots were used
for the experiment The crop Of both
grass and clover was removed from the
land in 1899, after which the land was
pl0wed and the wheat was sown dur
ing the first week Of September. The
experiment will likely be repeated for
several years
In each Of six years an experiment
has been conducted In duplicate by
sowing winter wheat broadcast and
with a drill. The results from sowing
the same quantities Of seed by the two
methods are very similar. the yields
per acre being practically equal 1t
should be understood that the land
was In a good state Of cultivation when
the seeding took place. in every case
In order to find out the influence Of
cutting wheat at different stages Of
maturity upon the quality OF the grain
for seed purposes. samples were taken
from the crop cut at different dates.
and these samples were carefully sown
upon separate plots. In the average
r~sults Of these tests made with two
varieties Ia each of five years, Il was
found that the heaviest weight OF
grain per measured hushel, and the
largest yield OF grain and straw per
acre. we're produced from seed taken

Germany IS one Of the countries in
which American horses have obtained
a footing, and the effect upon horse
growing there is described in the Ham
burger Nachrichten as follows:
ImDortations from America have
caused the horse raisers OF Holstein
to suffer much OF late. A stock COM
pany has just been formed in Berlin
for the express purpose Of importing
horses from the United States. The
Americans have succeeded in breeding
a horse which compares favorably in
every way with the Holstein animal.

priced in a work namely. broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses have
always been the provinces Of Sax0ny.
Thurlngia and Brunswick. The de-
mand is created BY the large sugar
factories. This market has been de-
ereasing Of late. owing to American
horses being purchased In Berlin A
few days ago this Berlin company
shipped a drove OF eighty through
Hamburg en- route for Milan. italy,
where they are to be used on the tram
ways. Almost every week a long
freight train filled with American
horses leaves the Beriiner bahnhof for
various parts Of Germany. In spite Of
expensive freight and a tariff Of 81

a respectable competition in the Ger
man market

Ia the foregoing extract are becoming
