Clay Soils Need Deeper Ploughing Than Sandy Land--Danger In Too Deep Ploughing--Depth of Seed Bed Important--Fishy Flavor In Butter. (Contributed b Agriculture, Ontario Department of Toronto.) Local experience is essential in | forming an opinion as to the best ploughing practice for any district. Soils are so very different in texture, in depth, In exposure and in com- position that best results cannot be expected from any uniform practice. What may be good practfé® for sandy soils might possibly be undesirable for clays. Generally speaking, clay and clay loam solls should be plougi- ed deeper than sand loams. The sandy soil does not require deep ploughing if a suitable crop rotation is followed, but with clays deep ploughing .is desirable in order to increase aeration and warmth. Depth of Seed Bed Important. Furrows six to eight inches deep give a much better seed bed than where shallower ploughing is prae- ticed. This depth of seed bed is im- portant in that it gives a greater feeding area for the young plant's roots, and creates better conditions for growth during the critical early period following seeding. In time of drouth a deep mellow seed bed will not dry out to the same extent as the shallow seed bed. The con- ditions in the moderately deep ploughing provide a more favorable temperature, moisture and aeration necessary to the thrift of soil bac- teria which are essential to the pre- paration of the food compounds om which the plant feeds. The shallow furrow cannot provide the conditions most suited to the development of young plants and this type of furrow should only be used on sandy soils or in after-harvest tillage. Danger In Too Deep Ploughing. Where shallow ploughing has been practiced since first breaking, the change to deep ploughing should take place gradually, or some loss In crop may be experienced. Dead soll, turned to the surface in too great a quantity at any one ploughing should be avoided. Weathering or exposure for a season will generally convert an unproductive subsoil to the con- dition that will enable such to sup- port plant life. Frequently areas along roadways are stripped of the good top soil, a barren spot remains for several years until the weathering agents make possible the growth of useful plants. It is the same with the raw subsoil when turned to the surface. Do not bring up too much at any one ploughing, unless you can apply fertilizers to offset the influ- ence. Alm to plough a furrow six to eight inches deep. Keep it straight and uniform. Good ploughing will give increased crop returns and 'it costs no more than crooked furrow rooting.-~~L. Stevenson, Extension Branch, O. A. College, Guelph. FISHY FLAVOR IN BUTTER. Usually the Result of Using Unclean and Rust Cream or Shipping Cans. The fishy flavor and odor in butter {| has, in some isolated cases, been | found to be due to the cows pastur- ing in marshes which are periodically flooded by the tide and on the grasses of which small crabs and dried or de- cayed remnants of shell fish and of other fish are found. Bacteriologists have reported also the existgnce of certain species of bacteria Tapable of developing in milk, cream, and butter a "fishy flavor. It is further possible for butter to become tainted with a fishy flavor when it is kept in close proximity to fish, in which case the butter absorbs the odor. Each of the above cited causes of fishines is quite possible, but with the conditions under which this but- ter becomes fishy it is not very probable. By far the most common causes of fishiness in commercial butter are unclean and rusty cream shipping cans, churning cream with a rela- tively high acidity, an acidity above about .35%, and holding the cream in a forewarmer or in a vat, in which the copper lining and coils are not properly covered with tin, for a considerable length of time. One may prevent, with a certainty, the recurrence of fishy flavor in but ter by paying close attention to the following suggestions: 1. Eliminate rusty cans and returg |to the farmer cans only that are 'thoroughly cleaned, rinsed, steamed, (and dried. 3. Keep the copper surfaces ia forewarmers, vata, and coolers well tinned. Do not permit exposed cop- per surfaces to become coated with verdigris. Wash all forewarmers, pumps, and pasteurizers, ¢oolers, vats, and conduits thoroughly each . day after use and flush them oul 'again with hot water immediately be- fore use the next day. If the coils) and lining in the cream vats show any exposed copper, do not hold the [eream in them over night. 8. It the cream arrives at the creamery sour, neutralize it to .26% scid or below. Do not churn crean that has an acidity of 35% o1 higher. 4. If you pasteurize by the flask method, heat the cream to a temper ature of 180 to 186° F.

Use Marsh Hay or Clean Straw--- Apply In Fall When Ground Is Frozen--Renovating ON Patches ~--Winter Conditions for Bees-- Why Plant Trees? {Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The practice of applying a coating of straw, strawy manure, or marsh hay over the strawberry bed after permanent frost has set in and the ground is solid, has proved of great value. This mulch prevents alternate freezing and thawing in the spring, and heaving of #ie plants, both of which cause at times heavy loss. It also protects the plants if the snow- fail is light, and is even more valu- able when pulled between the rows in the early spring. This conserves moisture and more especially keeps the fruit clean. Driving rains splash the fruit with dirt, particularly om sandy land, which will much lessen the value of the crate or shipment into which these berries are put. A box of dirty berries will ruin the appearance of a whole crate. i Marsh Hay or Clean Straw Best Mulch. ; Marsh hay or clean, medium length, straw are the best materials to use. Green manure is not good because of the large number of weed seeds it contains. No material which will pack over the plants is to be recommended. As two to three inches is sufficient muleh, and a heavy coating may cause heating In the spring before removal, it is not advisable to use more. About two tons per acre is required. When it is desired to hold the plants back in the spring to prevent blossom killing by late frosts, the mulch is best applied on top of the first heavy snow fall. It should be removed in all cases before the plants start growth, as after that time much damage may be dome by smothering. After harvest the mulch is removed, burned, or, if suitable, can be stacked in a protected place for use another year. Renovating an OM Patch. In renovating an old patch it is not advisable to burn the mulch and mowed leaves on the patch. These should be raked off and burned out- side the patch, to avoid injury to the crowns of the plants. No crop should be grown between the rows in a strawberry bed for cover crop or protective purposes. This provides too much competition for the plants in moisture and food at 'a time when the grower wants them to fill up the rows for the fol- lowing year's fruiting.--D. A. Kim- ball, O. A. C., Guelph. Winter Conditions for Bees. To winter bees successfully the colonies must have: A sufficient supply of proper food; A good, fertile queen; Plenty of good workers; Sufficient protection from cold and wind. While the winte? food, either honey or sugar, should have. been in the hives by October 1, it may still be given to the bees. Protection is afforded either by packing properly or insulating the hives outdoors, or by transferring them to a good cellar where at least five conditions can be maintained: darkness, freedom from disturbance, a temperature of from 44 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, proper ventilation and freedom from mois- ture. A dark place is best, as bees usu- ally fly to windows, doors or lamps, and do not return to their hives. Freedom from disturbance includes not only absence of noise but absence of jarring and vibration. An even, reasOnable temperature must be maintained in order that the bees may not break their winter cluster, Proper ventilation is required in or- der to prevent accu , ation of mois- ture and to aid in i.aintaining the needed temperature as well as ade- quate supplies of air. Dryness is re- quired or the bee-bread combs will mold, some of the honey will fer- ment and the bees will be uneasy, | . Why Plant Trees? Trees add value to property. ! Trees cool the air in summer and radiate warmth in winter. Trees help keep the air pure for man and the lower animals. Trees provide homes for thou- sands of birds that help man in his fight against injurious insects, : Trees provide homes for many ani« mals that are useful to men for food and clothing. Trees help man in his fight for better sanitation. Trees supply a large part of all the fuel in the world. Trees give us wood, and wood pro- vides us with building material, fur. niture, implements, utensils, tools, and other useful things in great variety. Trees provide one of the most striking and permanent forms of beauty. . Trees improve the climate and con- serve soil and water.

And if all the thous- ands of fishes matured one hundred per cent. of their progeny in a sur- prisingly brief time the seas would be impassable to ships. This probably illustrates better than anything else the copiousness of the fishery resources of the world, minate waters which are the most fertile on earth and which of them- selves are capable of supplying the fish demands of its entire popula- tion. #ven batore Columbus struck this continent, it is believed that Basques regulariy visited the waters off our shores in quest of the silvery har- vest. Icelanders, too, records would indicate, came in the wake of Lief Ericson long years: before Columbus and flslied off our coast. Four hun- ared years ago there were fishing sta- tions on the Gespesian shores, Not long afterwards thriving fishing vil- lages sprang into life in Nova Scotia. Eut with four hundred years of writ- ten history behind the industry in Canada and an unverified and legen- dary history artedating by centuries the coming of Columbus, the ficher resources available to Canada are to- day in the infancy of their develop- ment. Each year fleets come from France Portugal, Icoland, Great Brit- ain, and sometimes from more re- mote countries, to reap a harvest on our North Atlantiz fishing banks.

The North Atlantic fishing nanks are undoubtedly the most productive fishing areas in the world. They are directly off our shores and are more readily reached from our maritime ports than from anywhere else. Yet, our Ameéricah cousins take three times the quantity of isk that we take there. Other comparisons gim- {larly . illustrate our negligence and shortsightedness, ' Only recently the decline of the North Sea fisheries has turned the attention of Great Britain to our Atlantic DAnks and it is not improbable that in a few years a fleet of British trawlers will be in- vading our 'waters to secure supplies of fresh fish for Old Country folk.
