Such a move would not be to their advantage and should be discouraged, - go There is a great future for the dairy industry as well as in that in animals for meat, and, although the dual-purpose cow has been wisely recommended to farmers in certain situations, or to these working under peculiar ®onditions, the breeding of Pf the straight inilk producer.

"heese has always been freely used by the poorer classes of Europe, who consider meat a luxury, while the keeping of milch cow is readily undertaken by cottagers who could wot afford to feed a fattening beast and wait for the returns from the sale of the meat The greatest increase in the dairy business in Canada of late years has been in the line of city milk supply; this has been due to the increase in city population brought about by the growth of manufacturing, but new that the number of dairy cattle has increased so as to more than supply the demands, a return to butter and cheese making may be expected, and a great benefit to the dairymen and Heyudustey at large will result from such a move.

Jerseys, Ayrshires and Holsteins have each been devel- oped to a high degree, and one of these breeds is well suited to the requirements of the - different lines that may be followed in dairying. The Jersey is yet, as it has always n, the ideal cow for® the home dairy or for supplying the butter factory. The Ayrshire is best suit- ed to th eese-making districts, es- pecially where ability to thrive on rough pastures is desirable, and the Holstein is the cow for the man who gends milk into town, not because her miik is poor, so giving a chanee to beat the consumer; that notion is exploded; but because her produc- tion of quantity Is enormous, provid- ed that sufficient feed is given her. Unfortunately, records of feed con- sumed in producing recorded yields of milk are not so easily obtainable as are the records of yield and per- centage of fat given by individuals ff {ie dierput breeds, else compari- | sons could be made by anyone that would settle the question of the best breed. very satisfactorily. However, no matter which is cho- s¥n-- the Holstein, the Jersey or the Ayrshire--success is pretty sure to come to the man who keeps his breed pure, and has the pluck to discard the poor representatives early. Swit- ching breeds and the keeping of mon- grel stock have been given as the chief reasons for failure to secure the top prices on the beef markets, and the same practice in breeding mileh cows will leave a man in the hole also. Dairying is one branch of farming that solves, the problem of soil fer- tifity; milk products are sure of a good demand, pure-bred stock will be in great demand, after the war, and the business is now in sudlt'good hands that it is to be hoped that no let-up will occur just when an in- creased interest in this most needed. MANURE AND WEEDS. Drawbacks Manure is Good For Strawberries. As soon as the ground is: suffi- ciently frozen to carry a horse, the strawberry patch should be well cov- ered with clean straw or coarse horse manure. Horse manure that has been badly burned during the sum- mer makes a good covering. Dur- ing the burning process most of the weed seeds will have been killed, the one gerat objection to applying straw material is the weed seeds contain- ed therein. Great care should be ex- ercised in its selection. In applying be sure to get enough on so you will be able to rake between rows in the spring which will be a great help in holding the moisture for next sea- son's crop, as moisture is all impor- tant in a good crop of strawberries.

Sundal, writes as follows: Corn growing israpidly developing into a successful crop in southern Alberta, and its opportunities are being realized by the farmer. For fodder purposes and the silo there is no doubt of its success, because fin a dry season one can produce corn by proper cultivation methods, where grain will be a failure. The North- western Dent has proved the most successful, and good matured ears were picked by the writer on Septem- ber 1st from corn planted on May 8th. By following this method of hand picking before frost, an early variety will soon be developed which will be adapted to our soil and cli- Woogsteek, 48¢ to 50c¢ per bushel.

Part of the shortage was due to excessive leaf. growth owing to the wet weather, but most of it was the result of late blight and rot. Not only did this fungus attack re- duce the crop of 1915, but it adver- sely affected the value Of seéd ava;l- able for 1916, said Prof. F. E. Ho- witt, in an address dealing with this subject. © It will, he said, be a vary difficult matter this coming season to secure seed potatoes which are not infected with the potato rot fumgus. This does not necessarily mean that we will have an epidemic of potato rot in 1916. This will depend up- on climatic conditions; if we have a comparatively dry summer, there will be, if is safe to say, little or no potato rot; if, however, we have an- other wet summer, the potato rot will in all probability be worse than It is thus seen that epidemics of potato rot are brought about by a combination of infected seed potatoes and wet seasons. "The question is," he went on, "how are we going to avoid using in- fected seed? At first thought, one would be inclined to 'answer, by se- curing seed from localities where the rot was not serious the previous year. * Those who are familiar, how- ever, with the potato rot fungus know that it may be present in a field year after year without causing any epidemic of rot, and, therefore, that seed from fields which were al- most entirely free from rot the pre- vious year may to some extent be in- fected, and that the use of such seed may give rise to an epidemic of rot if weather conditions are favorable. "There is, however, one way by means of which seed potatoes com- paratively free from infection can be secured. It is by growing varieties of potatoes which are not subject to late blight and rot. Varieties of po- tatoes differ very much in regard to their susceptibility to this disease. Many excellent and: extensively grown varieties, such . as Empire State and Rural New Yorker No. 2, are decidedly susceptible to rot, while others are markedly rot re- sisting, Taking the average experi- ments for five years, it has been as- certained that those varieties which were freest from rot were the Davies' Warrior, the Extra Early 'Eureka, Stray Beauty and Hulborn's Abund- ance; and those must subject to rot were Early Rose and Beauty bf He- 1 strongly advise those who to avoid loss fro potato rot to select warie ies which experiments have shown to be the least susceptible -to the disease, and in addition to this to spray thoroughly every year. Po- tatoes should be sprayed with Bo.de- aux mixture (4-4-40 formula), to prevent the blight and rot, and 'o this Paris green (1 1b,. to each 40 » gallons liquid spray) or arsenate of lead (3 1-2 lbs, to each Siiiopa liquid spray) should be added to de- Stroy potato Ue igs, Soraylng should commenced" when the plants are from 6 to 8 ifiches high, and are taken to keep {he "foliage , covered with Bordeaux mixture throughout the on until danger from rot is Jast, Special care should be taken to see that the spraying is very thor- oughly done if the weather is at all wet about the middle of July, as it is at tMs time that epidemic of blight and rot usually begin."

It is a bye-pro- duet of the sugar beet factory. The Dominion Sugar Company is the big producer in Canada of dried beet pulp. * With two large factories and: a monster one to be put up in Chat- ham, one would think that the bye- product would be used to the benefit of the community around the various factories. But not so. The product is shipped across the line, to where U- §. feeders are wise to its value. Several years ago an effort was made to place this feed be- fore Ontario dairymen, and an ex- tensive advertising 'eampaign was carried on, It was without result, 'however, in" sufficient quality to make its distribution profitable. The result of this lack of response is that instead of Ontario dairy hetds hav- Ing access to this valuable food, it 1s exported. Perhaps it would be ap- preciated if offered for sale to-day, but.established channels of trade are hard to change. : i ---- With cheese from nineteen to nineteen and a quarter, factories have poor excuses for closing down for the winter, N° It is an easy matter to keep a herd of cattle clean, with an_old curry comb, if the animals are never al- lowed to get really dirty. = The heavy winter milker is usual- ly the best and.most pérsistent cow; give her.an. opportunity fo make greatest profs, 5 $ HN More milk will 'require either more feed or more judicious use of the feed fed.
