ABOUT An Easy Way to Supp em: Midsummer Pus ur £3, Alfalfa and Clover, Peas, Oats and Corn Cut Green Rake Succnlent, Nourishing Food -- Weed Seeds Spread by DIanure -- 'What to Plant In a Late Garden. ; (Contributed by Ontaric Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) When the pastures dry up in June, July, August or September, the shrinkage is noted in the milk can and on the ribs of all the live stock. No grass, no milk, no beef, or at least not enough to be really profitable, is a condition both undesirable and too frequent in the experience of many farmers. Live stock to be profitable must be fed liberally. Maintenance rations --Ary pastures are nothing more-- can be profitable. Feeding Soiling Crops Losses. The farmer who provides green or Prevents at full capacity during any period of Pasture shortage is not only making hig operations profitable, but he is preventing losses that liberal reeding alone can prevent. The farmer who takes time by the forelock and provides a summer silo does not worry about drought; know- ing full well that his stock feed re- gerve ig standing ready. The man without the summer silo must do the next best thing, provide ample green crops that are palatable and succu- lent to do what the pastures fail to do. A few pounds of green peas and oats, green clover, green alfalfa or green corn in addition to the dry pasture pickings make for content- ment, a full milk pail and thrifty young stock. : How to Carry Over Ten Cows. If 2 farmer has ten cows he ghould figure on the ¢rop from one half acre providing a wple green feed to carry them ten days. Peas and oats mixed one and a haif bushels of each, and sown as early -as pos- gible in the spring, and followed by a second seeding ten days later, will provide for twenty days of an early drought. An area of alfalfa near the feed- yard is especially useful during July and August to keep the stock going until the early corn is ready. Sweet clover is more useful as a pasture plant than as a crop plant that may be cut and taken to the feed rack. Clovers, peas, oats and corn will furnish all the succulent feeds that are mpecessary providing or course at the stockman undertakes their duction in due time each spring. Grow a few additional acres for green feed this spring, and if arought occurg you. will be fortified against loss.--1L. Stevenson, Secretary, On- taric Department of Agriculture, Toronto. Weed Seed Spread by Manure. It is quite generally known that weed seeds pass through the diges- tive tracts of animals and still remain ite. The manure will contain these 15, and the result is that a field may become infested , with weed plants, some of a very noxious char- acter. In spite of this fact, precau- tions are not generally observed in e¢ feeding of screenings which con- tain sceds cof no weeds. Ag a result of experiments at the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, it was found that in feeding gertain seeds to cows the germination may even be increased after having passed through the digestive tract. Curled dock, a very common farm weed, germinated only four per cent. in its natural condition. A quantity of this sced was fed to a cow, and 100 such seeds were placed in a germinator. Ninety-eight out of the one hundred grew. The same is true to some extent cf lambs' quarters, gften known as pigweed. The seed of this weed germinated 62 per cent. before feeding, 88 per cent. after The germination of quack grass seemingly was not much affect- ed, as a germination of 85 per cent. was secured before feeding, and 80 per cent. after feeding. The viability of Canada thistle seed was decreased 'to some extent, but enough seed re- mained to infest a field. In view of the foregoing figures, the farmer should be very careful in the use of screenings. They should cither be ground to the very finest possible condition, so as to crush all weed seeds, or else they should he fed to such animals as sheep, which grind up and thoroughly destroy the 'ordinary weed seeds. What to Plant In Late Garden. Carrots, beets and celery for win- ter use may be planted in the latter part of June. 5 Golden bantam corn to kesp up: the supply for late summer. : Harly string b and peas to: Provide substitutes for meat. ¥resh and crisp vegetables 'as the means of saving canned products for winter use. Sced sown in mid summer should ? be planted in freshly stirred soil and ¥ somewhat deeper than in sprinz, and i the soil over the seed should ve} "firmed" more carefully than usual. Ig he Home Vegetable Garden. The home vegetable garden should be a family interest and all mem- bers of the family who are ab to do so should teke part in iis culti-: vation.

Engineer Rorke, director of sur- veys for the Ontario government was in town Wednesday and Thursday, in- vestigating the water power situation: He was taken out over the lake and later had a conference with some of the principals, to the controversy It is to be hoped a satisfactory solu- tion has been reached and that the matter will be permanently settled. Despite threatening weather, the Bedworth U.F.O. Club were success- ful in putting over their annual piec- nic at Thunder Lake. The kiddies had a fine time with free ice cream baloons, games and swimming, while to tell the truth the grown ups got just as much fun out of them. People wanting to run a first class picnic, should ask the Bedworth officials how they turn the trick. One of our best known and most admired young gentlemen has added a sideline to his already lucrative position with the Dryden Paper Com- pany--that of furnishing the town ministers with subjects for sermons. One minister has already received a demand for five dollars and the other, to avoid a like occurrence, has agreed to retract his statement that a young man worships his car. George says his devotion is not to the car, but to the exquisite specimens of femininity that have graced it. » The. Imperial Oil Company have just completed a warehouse 20x30 and two tanks eleven and one half feet in diameter and sixteen feet in depth will be installed immediately, one for gasoline and the other for coal oil.
