we think most people were amazed as we were at the number of dishes she and her mother had accumulated over the years and the brandnew linens stored away in trunks there was lively bidding between antique- dealers some of whom had come from as far away as paris ont of course nancy and her mother had lived very much unto themselves in a way and the auction sale was a sort of revelation of furniture bricabrac ipictures arid household utensils of the last century we would judge that nothing that had even the faintest possibility of use- fulness was ever thrown away and that included a huge old hand spin ning wheel still with a thick coat ing of dust upon it the house and property was also up for auc tion and was bought by mr dave hurren who has recently moved from his farm to a

promising prospects for hay and pasture look promising in all sections of halton nevertheless as a result of poor catches of seed during the jwist two years and the onswiuent short age of hay and as ore many hal ton farmers are planning to sow a few acies of annual hay or pasture crops tin yciir sudan glass or su dan ami oat are the most popular animal pasture crops grown in this section of ontario these should be sown at corn planting time which roughly tans between may 24th and by the end of the first week in june sudan grass like corn is a hot ucaihei plant and while it takes about cignt weeks before it is i eady to pastiiie it will produce huge quantities of palatable pasture until fiost the rate of seeding is 25 to 30 lbs per acre and a drill set at two pecks of wheat will nor mally sow the latter amount the normal mixture of oats and sudan grass is two bushels of tho former and twenty pounds of sudan grass this mixture will be ready to pas ture in about six weeks but in our experience will not produce as mucl total pasture throughout the season as straight sudan the popu lar practice on many farms is to sow half the area to sudan and oats and the other half to straight sudan then if an electric fence is used to divide the area a maximum of pas ture can be produced providing fertility of the fields and weather jjonkbonhad trtraoud to-do-sev- end44hns afe
