onts in plnce of wheat.


There are many localities In which
it does not pay to grow winter wheat.
Possibly because of the low price In
some sections. or for other good rea-
sons. II winter oats will succeed they
may frequently be grown with profit.
for the market price Is generally good.
There are many advantages In grow
ing winter oats, particularly In warm
localities, for the season of growth is
during the cool portion Of the fall and
spring, so that they fill well, while the
spring-sown oats succumb to the warm
summers In growing winter oats the
seeding should be done early In Sep
TENDER and on good soil. 1t Is true
that oats will do well on less fertilizing
than wheat, but, on the other hand,
they pay well for good fertillzing.
BY sowing at the time specified they
will get n good start and cover the
ground sufficient to protect the roots
during the winter. III the spring they
may be late In starting up, but they
will come unless the winter has been
sufficiently severe to kill them out
completely. The plan IS well worth
trying, at least on small area.

vnrietic. of winter Wheat.

Three varieties Of winter wheat were
distributed throughout Ontario in the
autumn Of 1902 for co operative expert
ments. Good reports 'of successfully
conducted experiments have been re-
ceived this year from eighteen coun-
ties, extending from Essex in the
south to Halliburton in the north. The
following Is the average yield in
weighed bushels Of grain per acre for
each variety for five years at the col
lcge, and for 1908 throughout Ontario:
Imperial Amber, 24.0 bushels; Buda
Pesh, 21.4 bushels; Turkey Red, 20.7
bushels. All three varieties are beard
ed The chaff Of the Imperial Amber
is red and that of the others is white.
The grain Of each variety Is red, hard
and recommended for the production
of flour Of good quality. All three va
rieties are rather weak in the straw.
The Imperial Amber Is Il close rival
to the Dawson's Golden Chaff in yield
of grain per acre Tho variety last
named seems most productive of all,
but the grain Is soft.

Hungarian Millet.

In sections where the hay crop Is
short, one of the best and quickest
catch crops Is Hungarian mlllet. Ihe
seed is comparatively cheap, ranging
from So to 1925 bushel and the crop
does well on any good soil. In many
localities farmers make good busi-
ness Of sowing Hungarian millet for Il
hay crop on any ground from which
crop can be taken by the middle or
August. If the crop was cultivated
enc, but little preparation Of the soil
Is necessary. Shallow p1owing and a
thorough narrowing will probably be
sufficient in most cases. 1t Is gener-
ally considered that this millet crop Is
worth all 1t costs to get 1t, and 1t Is
particularly valuable for cattle, or the
grain may be saved and fed to poultry
during the winter. One of the most

Farm Notes.

Every farm should have separate
building where sick animals can re-
ceive special care and attention.
A real live farmer does not keep
from making mistakes, but he does
not keep on making the same mis-
take.
On thin land deep cultivation will
have tendency to shorten the yield.
On deep, rich loamy soil the cultiva-
ton may be deeper.
Potatoes should never be marketed
unless assorted. Uniformity Of size
and appearance will benefit both the
buyer and the seller 1t is the small
potatoes that injure sales and return
low prices.
Pigeons will thrive on variety,
grains and grass seeds of all kinds be-
ing suitable, hemp and rape seeds be-
ing also acceptable. A sailed fish
should hang where the birds can have
access thereto, and ground oyster
shells, gravel, pure water. etc, should
be provided II they are confined.
If you want something choice for
yourself and not for market grow the
Emerald Gem muskmelon and the
Kleckley watermelon. There are other
coed varieties, used mostly on account
OF their excellent shipping qualities.
but no varieties can compare with
those mentioned for home use, as they
excel all others in quality.
This nation Is increasing in popu-
lation faster than 1t is in meat pro-
duction. In the fifty years from 1850
to 1900 the population increased 3.2S
times. Beef cattle increased 100;
dairy cattle, 2.6S; swine, 2.07; sheep,
1.S3. Considering these figures in con-
nection with our enormous exports 1t
does not look like the business Is CO.
ing to be overdone in the next fifty
years. Just what it will be then can
be only matter of conjecture.
When you go into seed store to buy
grass seed, examine 1t carefully, pre-
ferabIy with a magnifying glass, on
sheet of white paper. Ii you discover
IN 1t, instead of timothy, the seeds Of
the white and yellow daisy, plantains.
yellow dock. peppergrass, thistle, pig
weed or wild carrots. or instead OF
clover. seeds of the plantain. swamp
weed, wax weed, chicory. or sorrel,
better let 1t alone. IL such seed were
given you 1t would be poor policy to
take 1t.
