Much time may be saved and the rush 'dt spring work lightened if seed is pre- | pared In the iate months of winter | | tor spring sowing. This early seed preparation will likel the seed of different crops being 8own at the right time to Insure the greatest yields. Use the Very Best Seed. The first step in good seed selec- tion should be the obtaining of the very best variety for sowing, a var- lety whose yield ig high and whose Quality of grain is 800d. Varieties of oats, such as 0.A.C. No. 72, Banner, and O.A.C. No. 3; varieties of bar. ley, such as 0.A.C. No. 21; varieties of spring wheat, such as Marquis, Red Fife, and Wild Goose; varieties of spring rye, such as 0.A.C. No. 61; Varieties of field peas, such as Cana- dian Beauty, Arthur, Potter, and Golden Vine; varieties of field beans, Such as the Common White Pea wheat, such as Rye, and Silver Hull, are all wel] suited to Ontario conditions. Grain May Be Poor for Seed But | Good for Feed. Small, shrunken, | has a feeding value nearly equal to that of large, plump, sound seed. Seed selection experiments conduct- ed at the 0. A. College, Guelph, have shown, however, that there is j Very great difference in the value of these for seed Purposes. What Experiments Show, | Varying qualities of seed of oats, | barley, spring wheat, | beans i Yarieties of buck | or broken seed - In every single in- stance, the large plump seed produc- ed a greater yield of grain per acre than the medium sized, small, shrunken, broken, or split seed. In the average of four classes of grain, the large Plump seed surpassed the | small plump seed in Yield of grain ber acre by 28 per cent. and, In the average of three cla | the plump seed gave a |over the shrunken, broken, or split [seed of 64 per cent. In this experi- ment equal numbers of seeds were used in each selec¢tion. Large Plump seed produced a larger, more vigor- ous, and more productive plant than that produced from small Plump, shrunken, broken, or spiit seed. It should be remembered too where only the largest and grains are used for seed, nature of the seleciion eliminates the majority of the weed seeds which been in the grain before selection, |.

The only draw on the well, or bard water, supply would be the amount required for drinking and cooking purposes. A Good Cistern a Necessity. To safeguard against a shortage [of soft water in times of drought |and during the winter season when |rains are Scarce, the cistern should {be large enough to hold a two or | three months' supply. This would |require a storage tank at the very least 10 feet square and 10 feet deep, or its equivalent in different dj- mensions, or two smaller tanks hav- Ing together this capacity. It is well to remember that the tank built in the cubical form, say 10x10x10, is more economical than one of the same size but oblong in form (6 2-3x16x10) for example. The cylinder form takes even less ma- terial than the cubical, but it may be a little slower and harder to build. Sometimes the bottle form is constructed. Either the cylindri- cal or bottle type is usually built of brick laid in a rich concrete mortar ind finally well coated on the inside with a rich mixture of cement, pref- erably super cement, and fine sand. The 10x10x10 size will hold 6,250 [mperial gallons, or approximately 200 barrels. in U.B.A. galions the tapacity would be 1-5 more, or 7,500 gallons; To build the cube-shaped cistern (10x10x10) it would require of concrete, the walls, top being six inches Using a 1-8 mixture it would approximately 18 barrels of ce- ment and 15 loads of gravel. For the cylindrical shape it would take about 11 cu | ed. This eflicient- prices labor, it would be an easy matter to estimate the cost of a 6,000 to 7,000 Ballon cistern, The Location of the Cistern. The house cistern may be located (n the cellar, or outside underground, according to conditions. If the cel- lar be large and provided with good drainage for the overflow af the cfs- tern, there can be no serious objec- tion to having the cistern in the cel- lar. If the roof of the house is not large enough to collect suficient rain water for the water service of the home, the roofs of b nected for joint In this cage ground tank, 12 or 15 feet square and 10 feet deep, at a point where rain water from both house and barns would gravitat . Between the barns and this cistern It would be advisable to build a settling basin to intercept dirt from roofs.
