NEWS OF Alfalfa and Weeds--Silage Be Wanted--Good During the war when it was al- most impossible for farmers to ob- tain any outside help the Ontario agricilturist became arcustomed to { operating his hundred acres alone. {There was little attempt at hand {hosing and perennial weeds such as twitch and sow thistle 'got a big start. The present grow-more-alfal- fa campaign should help remedy this This crop requires a minimum amount of cultivation and makes such rank growth when well established that it chokes out prac- tically all of the worst weeds. In the grain farming districts of the West, where it is sometimes impos- sible to identify a cereal crop from the road side on account of the over | growth of thistle' and mustard, al- falfa and other legumes such as sweet clover, have been found very effective in dealing with this men- i | ace, Big Milk Flow, According to the fortnightly re- port of: the Ontario Department of Agriculture the milk flow this win- In East- ern Ontario, particularly, the output is much ahead of other years on ac- count of the excellent harvest of 1925. Feed was never more plenti- ful. From the townships of Moun- tain and Winchester in Dundas, 90 tons of whole milk were shipped daily during January, the bulk going to a condensery. This is double the output of a few years ago. Silage of the North. Dairy farmers in Northern Ontario have been rather seriously handicap- ped by the fact that no satisfactory crop, has up to the present, been found for putting into the silo. It is impossible to grow corn economic- ally in these districts, sweet clover is not popular and othér substitutes hitherto have not been altogether gatisfactory. Tests conducted by W. G. Nixon, at New Liskeard this win- ter, however, have demonstrated that red clover may be used for this pur- pose. The stuff ferments nicely and whilé rather dark and strong in flavor, it is eaten readily by live stock. It compares very favorably with corn silage in nutritive value, with nearly double the percentage of protein and fat. Furthermore red clover is one of the most easily pro- duced crops in the North Country. It grows like a weed and yields of over two tons to the acre are com. mon. : That conditions are again return- ing to normal along the' concession lines is indicated by a report from Agricultural Representative 8S. B. Stothers of Huron County. "Off hand," he sayy, "I know of tem dif- ferent farms that have changed hands in the past few months, and while no record figures have heen reported values are satisfactory." A (few years ago there was a different tale. Half of Ontario was for sale at bargain prices but there were no takers. Last year, however, when the values of agriculture produce be- gan picking up buyers again entered the market. farming not only offers a good living but it is possibld where initiative and determination is shown to also make a fair interest on the investment. nin, - Horses Will be Wanted. It now begins to look as if the 'long predicted demand for good heavy horses was about to material- ize. For the past ten years support- ers of the Clydesdale, Shire, Perch- eron and Belgian, have been making dire forecasts. A famine in good horseflesh was spoken of freely. During the war the Allied armies ab- sorbed all the smaller chunks but the real drafter was passed over. Motor trucks and tractors took his place, With prices of all agricul- tural produce soaring there was lit- tle attempt at checking the cost of production. But the after war de- pression wrought a hange. Farm- ers and townpeople desired to pro- duce stuff as cheaply as possible. The tractor and trick, it was found, were not always economical. In a farm of small flelds, or where the ground is hilly it was discovered that old Dobbin, fed on cheap oats, would do the work better and more cheap- ly. For short hauls in the city, too, with constant stopping and starting, the dray horse did the work at lower cost than the truck. As a result of these discoveries and the change in financial conditions" in the whole country the demand for heavy horses bas increased. The enquiry, how- _éver, has come too late as there are fot enough animals of the right type to go round. The latest reports from the Live Stocks Records Association at Ottawa show that there were moré sales of purebred heavy horses last year than for some time past. Prices have advanced and will probably continue 1» dvande x until the young At the present time, THE FARM for the North---Horses WHI Outlook for Hogs. stuff now coming on in greater num- bers is old snough to be put to work.

McQuat, Domidion Live Stock Branch, Canada is the only one to register an increase during the past year. Foot and mouth disease cut down the number of swine in Great Britain itself, and also "in the two principal exporters to Great Britain, Ireland and Denmark. The greater demand from domestic markets has prevented United States from ex- porting as much pork as was ship- ped out of that country a few years ago.
