The causes of the difficulty together with the remedies, are a: follows: 1. Churning temperature too low It may be necessary, under excep tional conditions, to raise it to be iween 66 and 70 degrees Fahrenhelt 3. Cream too thin or too rich, I' should contain about 30 per cent butterfat, 2. Cream too sweet. If ripened to a moderate acidity it will churn more easily. 4. Churn too full.

August Ploughing and September Cross Ploughing Kills Grubs and Worms In Old Sod. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) URING the extremely hot weather, cows and calves fre- quently suffer, sometimes needlessly, from three things ----effects of high temperature, lack of water, and from torment by flies. A great mistake was made in the older parts of Cntario, when practi- cally all the trees were cut down, thus leaving no shade for cattle and other live stock, When the late Prof. Brown was in charge of the On- tario Agricultural College farm and live stock, he planted small groves of trees on various parts of the Col- tege farm, and no more pleasant sight may be seen than that of the College herd lying in the shade among these trees on a hot day. These groves make the fields where located rather awkward to work, but the cattle cer- tainly enjoy themselves among the trees. On a live stock and dairy farm, while it may not be advisable to plant trees in the middle of a field, it certainly will pay to have them in as many places as possible, where they do not interfere with the working of the land. In the meantime, on dairy farms where no shade is available in the regular pasture field, sometimes wood-lJot can be utilized for the stock during the heat of the day, though they may damage the young trees to some extent. Another plan is to keep the cattle in a darkened stable for part of the day. This means a good deal of extra labor cleaning the stable, and keeping the cows clean, and under present labor con- ditions may not be practicable on many farms. However, where there is the necessary labor available and particularly where cows are receiving soiling or silage feed to supplement the pasture, the feeding in the sta- ble may well take place during. the day and the cows be kept inside while it is very hot. This plan also reduces worry from flies, when the windows are covered to make the stable dark, Water Necessary for Comfort and Milk Production. Cows frequently suffer from lack of sufficient water, As a boy, the writer remembers driving cattle to "Big Crick," in Brant County, during dry spells. The.cows were nearly famished when they reached the 'Crick" and would drink until they looked like bursting. By the time they reach home, after walking for a mile-and-a<hall over a dusty road, the cattle were:mearly as thirsty as ever, : The only safe source of a sure water supply is a deep well, driven or bored, and having the water pump ed by windmill or other sources of power, with a storage tank for emer gengies, There is no part of Ontario in which an abuhdance of water can- not be obtained, 'if 'we go deep enough to tap the hidden sources of supply. ' # No matter how it is obtained, the owner of dairy stock, more especial- ly of cows milking, must supply a large amount of water, else the stock will suffer, which means lessened milk supply, and small cheques frofn the creamery, cheesery, condensery, or city dealer. Milk consists of about 87 % per cent. water, and this water must come from the drink and feed of the cow. "A cow giving 100 lbs. (10 gallons) of milk aaily, will dries over 200 lbs. (20 gallons) of water in a day. Cows giving less milk will drink in proportion. Give the cows plenty of water. Young cattle, calves, and hogs also heed plenty of clean water in hot weather, Fly Remedies. : There are several good fly reme- dies on the market, Where there is no time to make one, the purchase of a patent fly-killer or repellent, is advisable. These are usually applied daily, or twice a day with a small hand sprayer. A home-made remedy may consist of one-half gallon fish oil, or any old grease, one-half pint coal oll, and {four tablespoonfuls of crude car- bolic agid, cresol, ete. Mix thor- oughly. This will be sufficient for twenty-five cows and may be applied with a brush or cloth, If there is no rain it will keep the flies off for several days. Milkers must be care- ful not to get this om the haads, aor allow hairs to drop into the milk pail, as it will taint the milk. It is safer to apply after milking.--Prof. fH. H. Dean, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. r-------------------- What About Seed Wheat This Year? Good seed of the most desirable varieties of fall wheat is sure to be Scarce this autumn.

Such subjects, or at least very similar ones need careful considera- tion here, if the poultry industry is to be maintained at its present level, or inereased in regard to froduction and improved in regard to handling and distribution of the product, as it should be, in view of war-time conditions, and what can be expected after the war. Trees and Crops. As one result of this year's crop |e failure in a large part of the West, | | papers there are giving increased at- | tention to the question of forestry. |] Dr. W. W. Andrews, of Regina, start- | 1 ed the ball rolling hy urging whole- sale roadside tree planting for Sas- katchewan. J. B. Musselman, secre- | tary of Saskatchewan Grain Growers, | Dow gives another push on his page | in the Regina Leader. | "During the present summer," Mr. | Musselman, says, 'large numbers of {farmers have lost their crops through the drifting of the soil due to want of protection from the winds. These dry up the moisture and uncover the roots of the crops, which then are in danger of being burned up by the rays of the sun. On the other hand, trees attract moisture and protect the fields, and may therefore have an enormous effect in a dry summer such as the présent. The southern part of the province has few trees and a light harvest, the northern portion more trees and a heavier har- vest.

Failure to Plenty. One estimate places the wheat crop of the West at all the way from nothing to 25 bushels per aere. No Western province has a good crop in all sections; in no one is there a complete failure. Manitoba runs from four bushels at Souris to 22 at Dauphin and Teulon; Alberta, from practically none over a radius of 100 miles around Medicine Hat to good in the north country, and Sas- katchewan from {wo bushels at Pee- late to 25 at Foam Lake and Wadena. Control Pasture Weeds, Such weeds as wild onion, bitter- weed, and the ragweed causc great annoyance to dairymen and milk dealers. These weeds, when eaten by milch cows, give a very disagreeable odor and flavor to the milk, and eon- sequently to all other dairy products. When cows eat such weeds in large quantities, . the milk is not market. able. The control of pasture weeds is a big problem to dairymen in cer- tain areas. Cultivating Vacant Land. Mr. F, Abrabam, honorary chair- man of the Vacant Lot and Home Garden Section of the Canada Food Board, estimates that production from vacant lot and back yard gar- dens this summer, judging by the reports of increased acreage now un- der cultivation, will be two or three times in excess of last year. ' The Agricultural Gazette of Ottawa states that last year Canada produced be- tween $20,000,000 and $30,000,000 worth of garden truck. Trapping In Old Ontario. A. G.
