Readers will re- member that this plot was sown Dnrrant. member that this plot was sown in the spring of 1914 in :an experi- mental way and two cuttings were taken from it that season, the last being made in October, rather late, and the crop was cut too close to the ground. A favorable winter was easy on the clover but the unprotected roots heaved somewhat and a lesson was learned. It is not good practice to cut too late or too close. How- ever the crop came through all right and at time of writnig. June 1. the stand is very thick and a}‘- erages two feet in length. It is nearly ready to cut and will like- ly be harvested before this is HOLSTEIN. Dr. Wilson of Toronto, and master Jim, were visitors in Ho]- stein during the past few days.

All we can say is that our stock will and do eat it. They ate it last year as green feed and as cured hay and if anyone doubts the palatability they should see our bull, the calves and pigs of all ages de- vouring the green feed. «Pigs running in red clover eight inches high will leave the pasture and come to the fence and eat an arm- ful of .sweet clover thrown over to them. The old sows and the nurs- ing litters relish it and the bull simply “hogs” it down. It was sown thickly and will be cut early so as to prevent its becom- ing woody. It looks good as far as we have gone with it in an ex- nerimental way.â€"Farmer's Advo- cate.

The fish huts down on the ice at Burlington Bay, Hamilton, all along the north shores of Lakes Erie and Ontario, near the various small towns, and most conspicuous of all on Kempenfeldt Bay, facing Barrie and Allandale, are always a mystery to visitors in Canada, although to the I native Canadian they are for the most I'part commonplace. AstOnishingly few know what they are when they see them first. Then the obliging well-informed part in the adjoin- ing seat of the train supplies the ellipsis. The next time they taste that fine mess 0: fresh fish on the home table, or at their hotel, they appreciate its delicacy of not-cold- storage flavor, more highly still. The man or boy who follows the ice-fishing must be no weakling. Sometimes you get one so warm- blooded and husky that, by choice, he dispenses with a cosy shack alto- gether â€"« both it and the small sheet- iron stove that often adds to its com- fortâ€"and is satisfiec‘. instead with a windâ€"break of canvas, nailed to two stout supports, that he props into the ice between his battery of ice-holes an: the chilly breezes. At that “buntp' every ice-hole fisherman on our Ontario bays and lakes waxed joyful and hied him away to his farorite part of the shore with many strange fixings roped to his harm-sleigh. First he picked up his hearing, figured out the currents, and shifted his position from that of the previous winter it experience dictated so. Next, he erected his hous> upon the ice -â€" a very simple affair light enough to carry bolus-bolus on his sled. Some times he has to build it,K He is his own architect, and there are no building bylaws. so that a few sec- tions of battered corrugated iron, halt a dozen boards or so, with a torn old sail cloth, suffice when thrown crudely togetherâ€"but strong- ly, for the structure has to weather many’s the fierce winter’s gale and snowstorm. Of course the-first job confronting the winter angler after providing protection against the elements is to cut his holes. It is as much as one man can do to look properly after six of these; many are content with but three. If the fates are propitious, the latter allowance will keep him busy, because each of the lines that he sinks down a hole is barbed with twoâ€"sometimes moreâ€"hooks. A PICTURESQCE OCCUPATION “'IDELY FOLLO“'ED. The holes are about half-aâ€"foot square, cut clear through the ice no matter how thick, with an ice-chisel; although thin ice can be managed handily with an ordinary axe, along with considerable patienceâ€"especial- ly if the wind is blowing in-shore, and every stroke nca ' the close of the operation forces a spurt of frigid wat- er that generall; finds lodgment in the region of onc’; face and neck.. MONEY IN ICE FISHENB It is doubtful whether mid-winter fishing will ever become as popular as danglingthe oiled-silk over the gunwale of a soft-cushioned skirt, at quiet, calculated anchor among Aug- ust’s wavering green sedges. But it has its devotees. They are strictly in it for the money. The winter just past has been a goodgold-fashioned. good season for them. starting about the middle of Dsnember last, when the thermometer "went down with a bump.” After being dropped through. the ends of the several lines are fastened to a stick or spike driven to one side and, having attended to each hole similarly, the expectant winterâ€" fisherman stands or sits by and awaits results from those wiggling minnows with which he has garnish- ed each and every hook. Sometimes he watches a line tauâ€" tenâ€"only to discover that a fair-sized “sardine” has put him to the wet and cold disappointment of hauling in; sometimes it wil; be only one of the despised but voracious “tlack lizards (name in the trade: “lisses”) ; neverâ€" theless, off it must come. and live new bait replace it, or there will‘ be new 0211]. chzauc -u, u; buy- .-.._ no marketable herring. or vyelloww pike, or perch caught in that hole that day. The work would be a poor one for a cripple. With five or six holes there is something requiring attention every minutes; sometimes several things, and at different holes. If it is not a sinker, or a hook, or a tan- gled line (in a location with swift currents), or a bite, or fresh baitâ€"â€" the fish harvester must go from hole to hole removing the thin ice which forms, by means of acup or dipper. On a cold day the latter operation is well nigh one person’s job. -â€" 3â€" Lkzn "6“ “Ab“ vuv rvâ€"wvâ€" _. What sh are mostly taken in this way for Toronto consumption?
