son, has this to say concerning the
growing of barley. which will prove
suggestive aud helpful to farmers in
this country:
TO grow barley of the highest class
it is essential that certain facts should
always be remembered. Barley should
be grown on barley soil, that is to
say, On soils of free working charac-
ter, such as light loans, sandy or cal

eral bulk Of the produce. both straw
and grain. may be considerably aug.
mented, but at the expense Of quality.
1t is essential to success that not only
should the land be dry, but also clean,
and that before sowing operations
commence, the seed-bed shall have
been worked into deep. fine and fria-
bic tilth.

Birds as Fruit Birds
are natural protectors of our fruit
trees and fruit products. Orchar,lists
complain that in the carly days the
insects. that destroy fruit were not nu.
merous, while now it is impossible to
grow fruit without battling with the
insects from the day the blooms
come. In the early days the forests
were in nearly every locality and
birds abounded. They had to live
largely from the insects. and the hunt
for that kind Of food was incessant,
The codling moth and his friends
found little chance to destroy fruit.
The fruit was thus protected BY the
birds to an extent that made spraying
unnecessary. It. may be that fruit
growers will yet find the rearing Of
birds the cheapest way of protecting
the fruit trees and their product.

have received a check of some kind,
The farmer, when viewing his crop.
ponders over the disappointing out
look. What is the cause or reason of
the failure? Oftentimcs the reason is
simply this--that the various tillage
operations necessary for the formation
OF n good seed-bed are not properly
timed as to the weather conditions. 1t
is quite possible for the surface of the
soil to be worked into a fairly fine
condition, while at the same time the
tread Of the horses has formed pan
or layer impervious to the passage Of
water little way below the surface;
the latter being fine, the water rises
readily--too readily-by capillary at
traction, thus cooling the upper layer
OF soil and checking tho growth.
While the order of succession in
which crops are usually grown Is de-
pendent upon the nature Of the soil
and climatic conditions, 1t would be
thought In certain districts and by
some farmers little short Of rank here
sy to advocate the growth Of two
white or straw crops In succession.
1t is also, perhaps. we'll known to
most practical men that there Is no
greater fallacy in farming practices
than the laying down of rules. Phos.
pilates and nitrogen must be both
present in sufficient quantity in the
ideal barley soil, but the latter ele-
ment not in excess. The orthodox
method of cultivation---"barley after
roots'-has given place in many dis.
tricts to harley after wheat" Though
the opinions of practical men differ
considerably on this important depart
ure from established custom, It is in
the main a matter of individual ex.
perienc.e and depends on the fertility
of the soil.
In. examining An ear OF barley.i it will
be seen that the spikelets are or.
ranged in threes ON opposite sides of
the rachis. When the middle spil.elet
on each side produces ono welldovel
oped grain only, we have what is
known as a two.rowed barley, the side
spikelets being abortive. When the
two outside spikelets are fertile and
produce grain. we have the six-rnwed
