Pigs usually handle newly-thresh- ed grain without mueh trouble, al- though if on very heavy rations when finishing for market a little care should be taken that they be not thrown off their feed. Newly-i threshed grain is difficult to grind fine and is not easily stored and large quantities of the ground grain may not be stored in bulk as heating and musting will result, lowering the ! feeding value of the grain by ren- dering it unpalatable and less di- gestible.

One thousand men scattered over 100,000,000 acres, have little chance of preventing fires. All they can hope to do is to see the smoke in time to check them and put them out before they spread beyond control. The problem of adequate pro- tection cf Ontario's Forests from fire is almost entirely a moral one involving the whole publie of On- tario. The vast majority of forest fires are caused by human care- lessness due to lack of civic re- sponsibility. The tendency is to leave all the responsibility to the Government for protecting the forests from fire. The Govern- ment cannot protect the forests belonging to the people of Ontario unless the people of Ontario co- operate.

It is necessary to make use of all the modern machinery available 'in order to expedite the saving of ' this important crop. First, then, we must emphasize the use of machin- ery in curing and storing. Men are not to be had in plentiful supply, but, in most cases some form of co-oper- ation may be resorted to in order to obtain the use of tedders, hay load- ers and horse forks to handle the bulk of the crop. By all means plan to use machinery in place of men this year or otherwise considerable of. the crop will not be harvested in the best possible condition. It is usually safe to cut after a rain when the weather appears to have cleared. Red clover should be cuit when about one-third of the heads have turned brown. The ted- der should then be used until the crop ig dry enough to rake--a period whieh will vary according to the weight of the cutting, the weather and the amount of sap in the stalk. Gather with a side delivery rake if possible, or in small windrows with an ordinary dump rake. The hay loader works best with a small wind- row. By all means use a loader if possible and to facilitate matters a sliding rack may be used so that when one-half the rack is loaded it may be pulled ahead and the re- ~ mainder loaded. In a pinch this will save a man. The horse fork and slings save much time in unloading. We mention red clover because it is the commonest and most satisfac- tory hay crop, and is used in all general farming hay mixtures. Timothy should be cut either after it is out of the first blsssom cor after the second blossom fallen--gen- erally the latter. It will require les: tedding than clover, is piore easils cured, and may be drawn in sconer after cutting. De not let it get too ripe and woody. snr. Alfalfa should be cut when the young shoots are noticed starting out from the axils of the lower leaves on the stalks, and should be handled much like red clover, ouly greater care is necessary to preserve the leaves, a v Valuable portion of the plants.-- Wade Toole, 0.

Ottawa, August 12--An extremely light yield of potatoes throughoutt the country is forecast in a bulliten is- sued by the botanical division of tha expeririental farm today. Farmers are warned to examine their crops early and to place their vield on the market, becaunic of the danger of a pototo crop failure. The bulliten follows: "The exceptionally dry westher, be- sides causing light crops of all kinds, has been very hard on early potatoes. They have matured before {heir time, and have remained small and unde- veloped. During the excessiviy dry periods the tubers matured very early; | &s a result they passed thresh a per- iod of vest in the soil, and hen final- ly rain came in form of heavy storms these tubers grew as a newly planted potato. If they remain in the ground much longer, they will be entirely use- less for the table. "Growers of early potatoes are ad- vised 'to dig some of their hills from time to time, and if they find the con- ditions present as deseribed above, they should dig their potatoes at once and place them on the market, so that the higher price commanded by the early potatoes will compensate for the light yield" 1 i HINTS ABOUT FALL FASHIONS it 'n the women There is a decided move: direction of long skirts-- ever, skirts everywhere are 2 bit lon- ger--decidedly on the downward trend Cheruit, at the moment, oddly spon- sors a skirt which is lonzer in the back than in the front. 2 The craze for black in cre: is al- most amusing.

May Compel Drastic Laws Serious consideration is being given by the administrators of the forest resources in the various provinces to a scheme for eurbing the gross care- lessnes of camping parties in need- lessly starting forest fires. The job of extinguishing timber conflagrations resulting from fires set by campers and cigarette smokers, has caused the public treasuries such a sum of money that some means of curbing the evil will have to be devised. Already the province of New Bruns- wick is considering the classification ef its woodland area with a view to pro- hibiting the entry of anglers and others, who may employ camp fires or drop lighted tobacco and matches. Such a regulation might work hard- ship on' many sportsmen, but as a class fishermen, hunters and campers generally would have only themselves to thank for whatever penalties might be imposed upon them in the interest of forest protection. To leave the camp fire burning has been shown over and over again to have vicious possibilities. The value of the forest resource is such that not an acre - of timber can be burned without the people as a whole paying a serious NO DECISION FOR 3 WEEKS ON RAILWAY WAGE CUT That no decision to fight or accept the 121% p.c. wage cut will be made three weeks yet is the opinion expressed by George K Wark, vice-president of the brotherhood of locomotive firemen and engineers Canada will await the result of the American vote. -
