day Of each month to discuss topics
in which farmers are interested
Summer tillage was we'll discussed
by Rev. D. NJ. Shorb, whose pastoral
duties in Canada have given him a
splendid opportunity for observation
there. The Canadian dry farme,
plows earlier than we do. He does
little work except that Of planting in
the spring and starts his plows the
later part Of May or early in June.
A furrow-slice seven to nine inches
deep look good to him and the work
Is pushed with all speed possible.
The disc harrow follows the plow and
is set down as deeply as It can well
be operated. The peg-tooth harrow
Is then used to brush over the sur
faoa once. After that the disc Is
used again but little more shallow.
This process Of alternating between
the disc and peg-tooth harrow is kept
mp all summer and not a green thing

a usual thing seeding IL the first
operation. Sometimes the ground Is
narrowed after the grain is sown and
sometimes It isnt-depending upon
the condition or filth. Another place

The cultivation Of corn was quite

Since the advent of sanitary

WHY VENTILAIE THE DAIRY BARN

One of the great causes of disease
of animals is unfavorable external
conditions, for no living thing can
thrive unless the surrounding con-
ditions are favorable for its growth.
All animals have a certain capacity
of enduring unfavorable influences.
This capacity is usually spoken of
vital resistance, >" This may be
great or small, but every animal
must have more or less of it or it
cannot continue its struggle for ex-
istence.
It was recognized more than a
century ago that impure air induces
disease. Impure air is not the cause
of the disease, but contributes an
unfavorable surrounding condition.
The vitiated air of stables reduces
the vital resistance of an animal +,
rendering it less adaptable to the
extremes of conditions to which it
may be exposed and more suscepti-
BILE to infection, against which it
has no defense.
Dairy barns are very frequently
poorly ventilated. The dairy COW
is then not only required to live,
