"THE CLIMATE OF

ADA's IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February 2, 1918, pub.

they got from 30 to 80 bushels Of wheat
per acre. 60 bushels Of oats and about
20 bushels Of fax. All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but Wild land
can be bought ut reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd Of February
there were eighty-four and a quarter
hours OF bright sunshine. but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1919, when the meteorolog-
zeal department registered 100 hours

through, but 1912 went one better, and
was a glorious month. However, TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting In heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures In
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred on Tuesday morning, when
the thermometer registered 23.6 below,
and the coolest Wednesday was II be-
low. During the last fortnight of
February 8 and 81 hours Of bright sun
shine spread its glorious rays over
Edmonton, and this out of possible
total of about ten hours is something
to talk Observation-Disclosures.

combination with proper grain rations.
1t is very low in crude fiber, which
makes It especially adapted to the
digestive system OF the hog. Careful
analyses made at the Ohio station
show that in proportion 10 the total
dry matter in the plant 1t contains a
higher per cent of protein than clover,
soybean, hay or even alfalfa. An acre
Of rape will pasture 10 to 20 hogs for
two or three months. 1t is a cool
weather plant, belonging 10 the cab
bage family, and may be seeded early
In the spring. 1t produces a rank
growth OF large suoculent leaves, grow
ing 90 to 30 inches in height. 1t does
best or rich, heavily MANFRED soils
and can be used to great advantage in
feed lots which have been used
through the winter season. The ground
should be carefully plowed and we'll
pulverized. The seed may be drilled
in rows 20 to 30 inches apart at the
rate Of two or three pounds Of seed
per acre, or sown broadcast at the
rate of four to six pounds of seed per
acre. Grown in rows 1t may be given
some cultivation, which is an advan-
tage in foul land, and in grazing 1t
down the hogs will not trample and
destroy as much as where sown broad
cast. In drilling it in, a garden drill
may be used, or an ordinary wheat
drill, using the grass seed attachment.
1t may be sown from early spring on
into early summer, but far better re-
suits will come from the early seeding.
1t is a good plan to make successional
seeding so as to be able to move the

cutor Frank P. Baker was lit" and
Charles Hamilton (colored), twenty
six years old, 725 Hadley street, did

Persons who were passing Univer-

looked with amazement at an appar'

AS soon as the soil can be worked

varieties Of peas.
For early rhubarb put headless
barrel over,a root of the plant and
pile fresh horse manure around 1t.
The earlier sweet peas are sown the
larger the number of flowers pro-
duced.
Jack Frost hasn't any terrors for tho

disease is produced by the rape plant
This difficulty has been observed to
occur with other rank forage plants
as we'll rs with rape. II probably Is
due 10 the pigs running in the rape, or
other plant, when 1t Is covered with
heavy dew and having the sun come
out afterwards, resulting in scalding
of the skin. We have had practically
10 trouble of this kind at the expert
ment station.
Rape In Mixtures-Rape and oats
are often used together for an early
pasture for hogs. At the Missouri ex-
pertinent station 1t has given one OF
the most highly productive spring pas
lures ever used. They may be seeded
at the same time or the rape may be
broadcasted after the oats are up and
narrowed lightly to cover At the
Michigan experiment station splendid
results were secured by sowing broad
cast rape and millet, mixed equal
parts, using a pint OF each per acre.
A mixture Of corn, oats and Canadian
field peas in equal parts was then
drilled in at the usual depth; this oper-
alton covering the rape and millet
already sown.
The Dwarf Essex variety is the only
variety widely grown in this country.
The seeds are small, very much re-
sembling large black mustard seed.
It can be obtained of almost any seeds

samples and make termination tests

Two of the three matters starred for action on the calendar referred to WilIimantic and both were passed without opposition, after explanation by Clitus King. the house chairman of the committee on cities and boroug1s.
