operated a plant manufacturing knitting machines at geor ontario one of the earliest autumn wheat in ontario most of the autumn wheat grown in canada is confined to the province of ontario and chiefly to the southwestern part its popularity in thutarea is due principally to its ability to survive the winters and to yield considerably better on the average than spring wheat on tario grown autmun wheat generally speaking produces a type of flour which appears particularly well suited to the biscuits cake and pastry trade and is used quite extensively for this purpose the growing of ffiis crop fits in well irlui the rotations usually practised in the province and by being sown in the early- fall and harvested shortly after the hay crop it aids in the distribution of labor furthermore it is a cash crop which normally yields relatively good net returns autumn wheat responds to good hus bandry and the farmer who carefully prepares his seedbed practises good fer tility methods either through his rota tions or by the application of fertilizers and who sows only the best seed of approved varieties is likely to be greatly tepald by increased yields it should be kept in mind that the hazard from winterkilling is greatly reduced when autumn wheat is sown on welldrained land and especially on land which is inclined to be rolling the formation of fee in low spots during the winter months or early bpring often results in considerable loss and if such areas do occur light top dressing with strawy manure applied just before freezeup should be of considerable bene fit the most productive varieties and those which have given the best satis faction in ontario belong to the soft white winter wheats of which dawsons golden chaff and o a c 104 arejjhe most widely grown both of these varues are quite hardy and even in eastern ontario it would appear frdm tests conducted by the cereal division dominion experimental farm at ottawa on more than one hundred of the best known winter wheat varieties in the world that they would give the best general satisfaction lay your plans ntaiw for yourfall wheat crop for next year choose the field which best suits your rotation and pre ferably one which provides good surface drainage secure good seed of approved varieties and treat if necessary lor bunt have a well prepared seedbed of good fertility for sowing at the best dates the latter are dependent on locality but in general are between the last week in august and the end of the second week in september for localities as far south as essex and kent counties good results

take a very ritor attitude in regard to pull disdain lti you say and the ieel- ls8doeasiojcredlt tnat you want to succeed on your own merits or not at oll some young men have even gone so far as to take a name not their own when storting out in business because they did not want the advantage their fathers name would have given them while people must admire that independent spirit it is after all carry ing a good thing a little too far the good word of a teacher or a pastor may be of untold benefit to you the fact that you are the son of a man known for uprightness and ability may be of great advantage when you are making your start it is a reiny to ignore these aids because all of you peed all the help you can get a greater mistake however is to depend uponj them to suppose that a recommend ation or an honored name will take the place of enthusiasm for your work and devotion to it h you have a pull use it but work as hard as though you had nothing but your own efforts to recommend you economy could have lived on it for a year and a day thats an exaggeration of course and didnt we enjoy it all but this year captain has ordered that no candy be brought to camp if visit

enter into their pleasures play their games and be friends with them in the high and proper sense there can be no objec tion to this except that it puts far too much of the responsibility on the preacher if you want to make your preacher popular fill the church for him it hard and discouraging work to preach to empty pews your enthusiasm will fill his heart with joy and his mind with thoughts

field husbandry or the dominion ex perimental farms as a result of special studies made in this connection wilting alfalfa for five hcurs improves the quality of the ensilage and is re commended for this crop the addition of 25 per cent of timothy to alfalfa seems to improve its quality as ensilage while a mixture of com and alfalfa produces an excellent ensilage the addltln of molasses at the rate of 2 to 4 per cent and crude sugar at the rate of 1 to 2 per cent improves the quality of alfalfa ensilage the addition of salt does- not appear to improve the quality of alfalfa ensilage while the addition of lime resulted in such a poor quality of ensilage that the cows did not eat it alfalfa cut in full bloom and placed in the silo without cutting produces a rotted material which is not fit for feed storing alfalfa in the silo for periods varying from three to nine months ap pears to have no adverse effect on its feeding quality first wheat harvesting reports in the canadian west
