Germany seems to have had a sum- mer similar to that of Ontario. At times the heat approached tropical in- tensity, and the dry hot weather, com bined with the absence of rain, caused the premature ripening of grain crops Desta, a Holstein cow in the three year-old class, owned by J. P. Arnold has made a record of 18,993 pounds o! milk with a little over 568 pounds o fat in one year. New Zealand is rapidly increasing its wheat production, the acreage in crop for the season of 1910-11 being 335,000 acres, an increase of nearly 82,000 over 1908-9. Drought during summer has, says the Ameriean Agriculturist, material- ly shortened the cabbage crop of the United States this year. Karly varie ties sold a few weeks ago at 810 to $12 per ton, but $6 to 385 now general- ly covers the range in New York, Ohio, Michigan, and other states pro- ducing on a commercial basis. It is not safe, says Hoard's Dairy- man, to feed slightly soured milk oc casionally to calves; it invariably causes scours, which means a sethack, and very likely will put the ealf in an unthrifty condition. If care is taken, the calf may gradually be put on a 'sour milk diet, and will do very well if fed sour milk continually; but it is unsafe to feed sweet milk one day and sour milk the next.

It is better to see to this work in the cool, pleasant days than to leave it till the shelters are nected. Keep a record of every cow, every day, with pencil and paper and scales.

In a test made at the Pennsylvania Fxperimant Station in Heshing horses, where shelled corn, shelled oats, cottonseed meal, mixed hay and corn silage were fod, the result showed that cottonseed meal ean be substituted for oats at a saving in expense, and that it is equally as or more efficient than oats when fed in conjunction with corn and mixed hay Where silage was fod it was given in the morning so that its effect upon women's clothing and cleaned to look like work is always sat- R.

In filling the silo, says the American Agnoulturist the longer the pieces are cut the more economical, from the standpoint of power, and the more rapid the filling of the silo. However, the shorter cut, for instance, one-half inch in length, insures less waste in filling, and makes it possible to place larger quantities in the silo. A length of one-half to three-quarter inch is recommended for genera) prac- tice. If the silo is fbuled slowly, the corn will pack down thoroughly, and more will go i. However, the operation is usually more expensive. As the corn goes nto the silo, sée that the light and heavy portions are uniformly dis- tributed, that is, the stalks and ears should not be in the centre or to one side, and the lighter portions, such as leaves, on the other side.

Cow testing associa- taons have been established, under government control, and some 4,000 farms have been visited, for the pur- pose of giving instruction in the nandling and care of milk to settlers, by officials of the department of agre- cuiture. 'lhe department, too, has helped farmers by organizing new dairy companies. Twenty-seven for cheese and eight for butler were start ed last year. A Short Year for Potatoes. Ontario depends for its potato sup ply on home production and Quebec and New Brunswick. So far as the home supply in Ontario 1s concerned the outlook is very discouraging, the condition of the crop at the end of August in Ontario being, according to the Census and Statistics Monthly, 60.52 against 53.63 last year. The condition in Quebec is placed at 67.61, against 83.41 a year ago. New [runs wick, on the other hand, however, seems to have a much better crop than last year, the condition standing at 92.84 on August 31st, against 79 a year ago. System of Feeding. Perhaps as good a system of feed- ing as anyone ean suggedi, without having a personal knowledge of each animal in the herd, says Hoard's Dairyman, would be to let each ani- mal have daily from thirty to forty pounds of corn silage and all the alfalfa hay she will eat up clean. A mixture can be made of 200 pounds corn chop and 100 pounds bran. Ome pound of this combination may be fed for each four pounds oi milk pro- duced. If it is desirable to force the animals somewhat, a little more of the grain mixture may be fed.

As she spoke, the spoon with which | she was teeding her patient slipped | and the hot broth spilled on Mrs. O'Brien's peck. There fins a yelt of rage.
