For ina: results lambs snourd de weaned at between four and tve months. It has been found tuat under ‘conditions prevailing during the hot dry months of mid-summer the ewes will drop off considcrebiy in their milk fow. The lambs receive comparatively little nourishment, and it is better for both ewe and Jarb for them to be separated: When the lambs are removed from the ewes they will miss little the small amount of milk they would receive, and will soon learn to depend upon pasture. They should reteive the very best pasture available. Nothing fits in better than a patch of Tape sown af the proper time, so as to be ready toe - oe ure when the lambs are ed. Care should be exercised hd or the lambs on the fresh rape to avoid bloating and probable death.e Turn them in during the mid- dle of the day when the rape leaves are absolutely dry and allow them to become accustomed to the change. A field of grass adjoining the rape pasture will give better results than the rape alone. If no rape is avail- able fresh clover seeding or second growth clover will give satisfactory results. In addition to pasture a feed of grain once a day will push the lambs along to a good finish At no time should it be necessary to feed over one-half pound of grain per day to each lamb while on pasture. Frequent change of pasture is beneficial to, and relished by, all classes of stock, and this applies with special emphasis to the case of sheep. It is true for two reasons. Sheep are subject to parasitic dis- eases which may be prevented to a large extent by not pasturing on any one area for too great a length of time. In addition to this they are possibly more fastidious about their food than are some other farm ani- mals. It is not practicable on every farm to arrange for a succegsiocn of However, the same area considerable more sheep if ch an arrangement is feasible. Rye sown early in the fall furnishes a good deal spring. After the rye is eaten of in the spring rape may be sown on this land and will come along for pasture in June or July. Alfalfa and red clover are satisfactory pasture crops and will serve until the rape | is ready. An annual pasture consist- ing of one bushel each of wheat, oats barley. together with eight pounds of red clover provides a good Pasture for the early summer months, and the clover coming along in the autumn will give a nice pick- ing. This annual pasture may be sown any time early in May. With- out a great deal of additional labor it is possible to have a succession of crops ready for seeding throughout the entire season.—J. P. Sackville, O. A. College, Guelph. To Preserve the Fertility of Manure. In fresh manure the plant food materials are not in as available con- dition for growing plants as in well rotted manure In the storing of manure, however, to get it well rot- ted considerable losses of plant food occur unless the manure pile is pro- perly packed. If the quickest returns are not wanted following the application of the manure to the soil, then the ma- nure may be added in the fresh con- dition. If this is done in warm wea- ther the manure should be ploughed in as soon as possible after applica- tion. The fotal plant food materials present in the manure will thus be added to the soil where they will be prepared by the soil bacteria for use by the growing crops. The main objections to putting fresh manure on the land are: First, it is not always convenient to do so; second, weed seeds may be numerous in the fresh manure, consequently a heavy weed crop may be expected; third, its action is not so rapid as in the case of weli-rotted manure, but it is active ever a longer period. Where manure is to be stored in piles or pits until it is ripened, or until it is convenient to use, then the greatest care is necessary to prevent losses of plant food materials from it. In the frst place the bottom of the Pile or pit should be impervious to water so that leachings from the pile will not occur. Second, it is well to have a layer of old well-rotted ma- nure at the bottom. Third, the ma- nure as it is piled up should be well compacted or tramped down -to-pre- | vent excess of air from getting into it. Fourth, it should be kept moist but not wet. These precautions apply more particularly to horse manure, | which is loose and comparatively dry. Unless this is kept well packed and moist, loss by fire fanging is Certain. his is an oxidation process, or fer- metation, set going by certain species of bacteria in the manure. If cow or | pig manure is available it should be , mixed with the horse manure in the | pile, as these are very wet and com- Pact and will give a good consistency to the whole mass. The main things \to be remembered are: First, prevent ‘leaching; second, keep it well pack- ,ed down and moist.—D. H. Jones, 'O. A. College, Guelph.

In order to avoid dis- pute, a sample is taken from the car of grain at the terminal market and is divided into two homogenous halves by means of an ingenious —. into which the sample is ured. oeTh is divides and mixes the grain so evenly that the two portions may be weighed without the variance of more than a few grains,” says Chief Culver, of the Toledo Produ@e Exchange. “The object of this is that when the grain arrives at its destination and the buyer should complain of Its quality, a re-inspection can always be demanded from the identical sam- ple from which the first inspection Was made. “These reserve portions are kept for several months and in case of ex- port, they prove invaluable in settling all complaints as to quality. “Inspection nowadays is all offi- cial and the inspector cannot be tam- pered with because he Kas no idea | whose grain he is inspecting.

With the stump-puller and a wire rope, the job is clean and complete. “A good stunip-puller will pay for itself in the saving of hand labor on a few acres of ground, to say noth- ing of the increase of crop values. You can use itvyin the wet season when you ean work at nothing else, In fact, the machine works easier when the ground is wet. “We need every acre.”
