In my own cone stituency many of the farmers are strong advocates of the principle of Government ownership, and many of them did not think that Mr. Bob lin had gone. far enough, when his 'a- greement was concluded with the Ca.- nadian Northern. However, Mr. Roblin's railway policy has accom- plished a good deal. and it is very; warmly supported in every part of the province. Farmers out there think a good deal about freight rates and consequently government ownerâ€" ship is so much favored."

Its Sod is by Long Odds the lost Fertile Sod A press letter°by Prof. Zavitz of the Guelph Agricultural College says: Clover is one of Ontario's most valuable farm cropsu It is general- ly recognized by Ontario farmers to be a heavy yielder of hay, which furnishes a large amount of valuable} food constituents. Its beneficial ef- fects upon the soil, hOWever, do not seem to be so clearly understood. Scientists, who have made a careful study of the influence of clover on the soil, tell us that ,after large crops have been removed from the land the soil is actually richer in nitrogen which the clover roots have obtained from the air. As a rule, farmers grow clover and timothy to- gether, and are therefore unable to ascertain the comparative influence 1 of each of these crops on the soil. We have conducted a series of ex- periments at the Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, on three diflerent occaâ€"' tions, in order to ascertain the comâ€" parative value of clover and grass sod for crop production. We first grew clovcrs and grasses upon sep- arate plots and removed the crops, after which the land was plowed and other crOps were sown. The results, therefore, show the influence of the roots remaining in the soil upon the productipeness of crops following the clovers and .the grasses. In 1902, barley was sown after each of four varieties of clover and three varieties 1 of grasses in foundifl'erent places in our experimental grounds. The aver- age results of the {our tests in pounds of barley per acre were as follows : Red Clover, 1516 ; Lucerene 1450; Alsike Clover, 1427; Mam- moth Red Clover, 1408 ; Meadow Fescue Frass, 1068 ; Orchard Grass, 1015 ;- and Timothy, 946. It will therefore be seen that the Red Clov- er sod gave an ncrease over the Tim- othy sod of 760 pounds, or nearly 12 bushels per acre. In another experiment which was completed in 1900. in which winter wheat was sown on both clover and grass'sods, it was found that am byâ€" erage of 3194 pounds of wheat, per acre was obtained from the clover sod, and only 2300 pounds from the grass sod._ I‘ â€"-4â€" -_A In 1899, a mixture of oats and barley was sewn on clover sod and also on grass sod. The results were very marked, as an avvrv'w .‘l' 2256 pounds of mixed grain per acre was obtained from the clovu' seed. and only 1078 pounds of mixed grains per acre from the grass sod. 1b By averaging the results of these three grains, we find that the crop grown on the clover sod gave an in- Lerease over the crop grown on the grass sod by fully 56 per cent. me. results of these experiments help us to _appreciate the beneficial influence on the soil from growing clover.

A dry kiln is indispensable when! high freight rates inquire into the demand for lumber. The Northwest Territories are pracâ€" tically dependent on British Columo ‘ bia {or their lumber and timber sup- % plies. People are now going into the Territories and taking up land on a i very extensive scale. They must have houses to live in, also stables: for their horses, granaries, barns, etc. Each scttlunent of farmers has a postofhce established. At difl'erent points, small towns, villages and hamlets are springing up in which are being built elevators, store lhousâ€" es, implemens ware houses, dwelling houses. etc. There are in the neigh- borhood of 1200 postofliceq in the . Northwest Territories and Manitoba, which are each a nucleus of a grow- ing town, village or hamlet. It is perfectly apparent therefore that lumâ€" her is one of the prime necessities of the Northwest. CROPS DOOKING WELL.

During the past few years noxious weeds have become very conspicuous in Eastern Ontario, and eslx-cially is this true of the Sow Thistle, one of the worst weeds known to the Dana- dian farmer. The sow thistle has become established in many sections of this province, and as a prominent farmer in Stormont county remarked the other day, the farmers will have to eliminate it at once or in the course or trme it will put them off the farm. It is a far more alarming and dangerous foe than wild mus- tardâ€"aye than all the other weeds, for it is octopus-like, placing a ten- tacle here, another there, and still another yonder, in an insidious and and quiet way and if precautions are not taken at once to destroy it the farmers will awaken some day from their lethargy and find themselves within the grasp of a relistless do» stroyer that shall throttle their en- ergies and mane mosh. on bncu pun, strength. ~ How are the farmers going to des~ troy and guard against, so treacher- ous an enemy ? A representative of the Journal asked Mr. John Fixtcr, farm foreâ€"- man, Cen-tralpExperimcntal Farm. {on some information regarding the that/'- ter, and he recommended the follow- ing method: After the grain crop has been takenefi. do not plough the field, but cultivate it in top of the stubble the first scorching hot day with a. rigid footed cultivator. The teeth of the cultivator should be far enough apart to allow the stubble accumulate in front remove a few of and weeds to pass through. If they accumulate remove a few of the teeth. This will kill the old roots and the new seed. Keep this meâ€" thod of cultivation up until autumn and then .plough‘the field'to ,-the depth of the loaming soil or vege- table matter. During the winter apply an application of barnyard manure to the land, alv~ut fifteen tons to the acre.

Fol- low the hood crop with at least 12 pounds of clover seed per acroâ€"a lit- tle more clover sec-d will do no harm, for it is very important to have a. good mat of clover. The clowr may be ploughed under the samn Ifal' and a hood crop should be grown on the field the next year. Mr. Fixter says this method will clear any field of noxiouswceds.
