(Contributed by ‘Ontario Eeenremest of Agriculture. Toronto, Lime and phosphate experiments were planned by the Chemistry De- partment of the Ontario Agricultural College to determine the effect of lime and acid phosphate on wheat and the succeeding crop of clover. Each t One-half acre plots.. The e was started in the autumn of 1922 when three experiments fn. each of the following da higr were under- Hali Norfolk, Went- worth, Brant, Uinesta, ton, ey and Welland. The fertilizers and lime were applied immediately before was not expec fluence the crop.of wheat but it was applied to see Yts influence on the clover following the wheat. When the wheat was harvested in 1923 it was found that on the plots receiy- ing lime and acid pboaniete the Maen was 64 a cent. greater than on t chetk 5 In B auhiach of 1923, three ex- periments were laid down in each of eight counties, extending west and ast of the original eight. When the plots in the sixteen counties were harvested in 1924, it-was found that the plots where lime and acid phos- phate had been applied yielded 45 per cent. more than the check plots. The clover was ‘harvested from the plots started in the autumn of 1922, and ‘fave a yield of clover on the limed plots-forty per cent. greater than the yield om the check plots. The clover yield on the lime and phosphate plots was sixty per cent. greater than it was on the check plots. The soil of the plots in these) six- teen counties all showed a shortage of lime when taken over by the Department. During the autume of 1924 the work was, extended to three other farms in each of eight additional counties, The results to date on the lime Phosphate experiments are very in- teresting and show that without doubt lime may be applied with profit for clover and that acid phosphate may be used with profit on wheat.— Dept. of Extension, Ontario Agricul- tural College. Salting Tests, There is some diffrence of opinion as to whether salt is, or is not, a butter preservative. Tests were made at the O.A.C. Dairy Department comparing butters made from the same cream, pasteurized, to one lot of which no salt was added, in other lots the salt content was .94 .69 and 2.9 per cent. The lots of butter were held in cold storage*in 14- pound boxes for six months at tem- perature of 12°F. It was scored by the Provinclat Butter Grader at the end of 1, 3 and 6 months periods. The lots having no salt averaged higher in flavor score when fresh and were practicaliy the same at the end 1, 3 and 6 months, and a little higher with one exception than the salted lots throughout the holding period. In these tests salt apparently had no preservative effect on the but- ter. High salting no doubt injures the quality of butter when fresh and is no advantage-when it is to kept in egld storage. Most Canadian mar- | kets require some salt in butter, but} the demand is for less salt than for- merly, At no time should butter con- tain over 2.5 per cent. of salt. Dairy Notes. Milk is such a perishable food that measures should be taken to preserve it in good condition for at least 36 to 48 hours after it is drawn from Pasteurization, which in- cludes cooling and holding ata rea- sonably low temperature, preferably below 50° F. are the a things ne- cessary and pf cost. Where milk is held at 60° to 70° F., which is ordinary house tem- perature,-the Dealers’ raw milk will not remain sweet for more than 12 hours, whereas if pasteurized it will likely be quite fit for table use up to 24 or 30 hours holding. If kept at 50° F. the pasteurized milk will remain in good condition for 48 hours or longer.—Prof. H. H. Dean, Dalry Dept., O. A. College. Buttermilk. The lactic acid organisms in but- termilk make it a very valuable food. ot so much is it valued for the enegy value thet it contains, but for its ability in fighting and destroying the bacteria of decomposition in the canal. Poultry fatteners feed buttermilk with the purpose of getting quicker ains and more tender, juicy meat. ey have also found that buttermilk fed chickens ship with less mortality and that the dressed poultry) retains its high quality for a longer period after being placed on the market, indicating that the bacteria of de- composition had been cctemppnat tad or at least neld in check.
