Mr. Hill considers it poor practice to use the first cutting of sweet clover the second year for seed. ‘By so do- ing,” said Mr. ‘Hill, “you lose a val- uable crop of hay, and although the secdhd cutting will yield less for seed than if the first cutting is used for this purpose, and getting of a g crop of hay and the fact that the second cutting is less rank in growth and much easier to handle with the binder far outweighs the slight de- crease in yield of seed. It is import- ant to cut thé crop at the proper time. This is just before it atarts to blos- som. Sweet clover is harder to cure for hay than either red clover or al- faifa, but any one who understands how to cure alfalfa should have no difficulty in getting a*good quality of hay—that ia, of course, if the weather is anyway favorable. No man can expect te get really first-class hay if the weather is not propitious, but the exercise of a little horse-sense helps considerably.” We walked over the farm with Mr. Hill, and, in spite of the unfavorable spring, the weet clover that has been seeded down last year with oats was eoming along in nice shape. Mr. Hill, as a rule, sows hulled seed. but last spring when he was out West looking after the 1,000 acre farm, which he owns there, his boys ran out of seed and had to use unhbulled seed to fin- ish out the field. Curiously enough the part of the field where the un- hulled seed had been used showed up much better this spring that the portion where the hulled seed had been used. “I know that most of the experiments that have been carried on with hulled and unhulled seed,’ said Mr. Hill, ‘‘indicate that hulled seed is much the more preferable of the two, but, a8 you see, my exper-) jence, this year anyway, Is that un-|} hulled seed is the better. As you| notice, the part of the field where the unhulled seed was sown is high- er than where the hulled seed was sown, and one would naturally ex- pect that with the dry spring we have had the hulled seed would have the advantage. My theory is that the hull on the seed is placed there by nature tq protect the germ, and the nearer we follow nature's laws the better.” Mr. Hill emphasized the import- ance of leaving a high stubble when making the first cutting the second year. “If you cut too low,” he said, “you cut off the shoots from which the secoad crop grows, and you run the risk of getting either a poor sec- ond cutting or practically no second cutting at all. It is impossible to say exactly how high the cutter bar of the mower should be set, as this will depend on the height of the crop when it is cut and the thickness of the stand.

In flelds where the stand is heavy and where the lower portions of the plants are dénsely shadéd, these shoots are soon killed from lack of necessary light. The branches which are first to appear and which are first to be killed are those closed to the ground. It is, therefore, very im- portant when cutting this crop to tut the plants high enough from the ground to leave on the stubble a sufft- cient number of buds and young branches to produce a second crop. Examination of hundreds of acres of sweet clover in different sections of the United States during the sum- mers of 1915 and 1916 showed that the stand on at least 50 per cent. of the fields was partly or entirely kill- ed by cutting the first crop the second season too close to the ground. A direct relation exists between the thickness of the stand, the height of tha plants, and the height at which the stubble should be cut if a second crop is to be harvested. It is very essential to examine the fields care- fully before mowing. $0. as to deter- mine the height at which the plants should be cut in order to leave at least one healthy bud or young branch on each stub. In fact, the stand- should be cut several ifiches above the young shoots or buds, as the stubble may die back from 1 to 3 inches if the plants are cut dur- ing damp or rainy weather. When fields of sweet clover contain only a medium heavy stand, and when. the plants have made no more than a 30- inch growth, a 5 to 6 inch stubble usually will be sufficient to ensure a second crop, but where fields contain heavy stands—15 to 25 plants to the square foot—it may be necessary to leave an 8-inch stubble. In many fields exanrined in northern [1Hnois in June, 1916, heavy stands had been per- mitted to make a growth of 36 to 40 inches before cutting. In a num- ber of these fields a very large per- centage of the piants were killed when an 8 to 12-inch stubble was left. A careful examination of such fields showed that the young branch- es had started on the lower portions of the stalks and had died from lack of light before culling, iceinvinn, On accotnt of the fifference in the growth that sweet clover makes on different types of soil and on account of the difference in the thickness of the stand obtained in different fields. it is impossible to give any definite rule as to the proper height to cut the first crop. It is a good practice to replace the shoe soles of the mower with higher adjustable soles, so that a stubble up to 12 inches in height may be left clover. Shoe soles, such as are shown in the IHus- 4rations, may be made on any farm provided with a blacksmith’s forge, or they can be made at any blacksmith shop at a cost which should not ex- ceed $2.50. Preferably they should be made of strap iron, about one-fourth of an inch thick and two inches wide; however, old pieces of iron or steei which may be found on the farm will servé the purpose. When these soles are to be placed! on machines that have~sodles of the| type used on the Deering mower. the} forward eight inches of the sole for the inner shoe should be tapered gradually to a blunt point and bent in such a manner that it will hook into the slot in the shoe. When the soles are to be placed on mowers having shoes of the type used on Mc- Cormick machines, the forward eight inches of the sole for the inner shoe should be tapered gradually to about that it will fit against that portion of the shoe where it is to be bolted, and have a hole of the proper size bored for the bolt three-fourths of an inch from the end (see illustra- tion.) The bottom of the sole should be rounded, so a& to run smoothly on the ground when the cutter bar is raised to cut at different heights. The back portion of the sole should be upright and should have holes bored in it, so that it may be set for the cutter bar to rest at different heights from the ground. Preferably the lower hole of the upright should be located so that when the bolt in fhe sboe is run through it the cutter bar will be six inches from the ground. It should be long enough to permit four or five holes, one inch apart, to be bored above the lower one (see illustration.) With some makes of machines it is not advisable to raise the cutter bar higher than ten inches from the ground, but when this is true the cutter bar may be tipped upwards, so that a 12-inch stubble is left. The forward end of the shoe aole+ to be used on the outer shoe should be tapered gradually to one Inch frem the end.

In July 1917 with aid of Doctors Whiteley of God- erich and Kennedy of Wingham, 1! operated on a friend of mine who was suffering from cancer of the stomach and in the autumn. of the same year I drained the gall biadder for a youngyman whom Dector Woods had been attendimg._for many weeks. Dr. Whiteley assisted me, oods having refused on the ground that I was not registered and that he thought it his duty te keep all the surgical cases for Ontario surgeons, Next I was called in counsel with Drs. Scott and McKay of Seaforth and later Dr. McKay assisted me in re- moving dead bone from a boy's leg. Dr. Emerson had previously seen.the case in consultation. Dr. MeKay then received a letter from Dr. Emerson of Goderich a member of the discipline committee of the Ontario Medical Council, advising him that if he coen- sulted further with me he, McKay, would be called before the committee! for discipline. I was then called te see the oldest inhabitant of the vill- age, who was unconscious. These casgg brought up my professional in- come from the people in Huron coun- ty for 25 years to exactly $126. On complaint of the Ontario Medi- cal council I was fined $50 and costs by a magistrate in Goderich. The following spring 1918, Dr. Whiteley was cited to appear before discipline committee of the Ontario Medical Council to me es should not have his name er from the register of the college for assist- ing m@to practice without a license. I was subpoenaed to give testimony in the case.

On practically all standard makes of mowers the outer sole hooks into the shoe instead of bolting to it, as is the case with the inner sole on some machines. A wheel fs used in place of a shoe sole on the outer end of the cutter bar on some machines. When this is the case the upright to which this wheel is attached should be lengthened. On other machines the forward end of the sole hooks into a slot in the shoe in the same Manner as the inner sole. In this event the front end of the sole should be bent slightly upward and outward. Before shoe soles are made for any mower a careful examination should be made of the shoes to determine the exact size required and the manner in which they should be attached to the forward ends of the shoes.
