made to certify po tatoes only from fields that are prac- ttcadj free from disease and where plants are vigorous and true to vaxie- oommerclal potato g whose own potatoes are badly injected with

needed to manufacture 112000000 pounds of cheese requested by great britain this year says the ontario depart ment of agriculture and ontario cows therefore must be prepared for the job many cows freshen with a reserve of energy so email that they are not capable of the maximum production needed this year where possible it is recommended that good quality roughage be fed to the freshening cows and grain feeding be practised to build up their condition home grown grains are reasonably satisfactory for conditioning although some protein suppl is necessary if the hay is of poor quality or the cows are fed largely on straw the following grain mixtures are re commended to fit cojk for lactation u oats 200 pounds and barley 100 pounds 2 oats 200 pounds and 100 pounds buckwheat 3 oats 300 pounds barley 100 pounds and wheat 100 pounds 4 oats 900 pounds buck wheat 100 pounds and wheat 100 pounds the above mixtures can be improved by the addition of a small amount of linseed oumeal bran or soybean ollmeal ped the concentrated mix tures at the rate of two to six pounds per cow per day depending on condi tion and the price and supply of the feed materials previous to calving and
