According to investigations " On- tario Agricultural College, spring wheat should be seeded as early as the ground can be worked. I note that Four ground is clay loam and is well supplied with tile. This ground should not be worked while it is sticky, nor should it be left unworked until it plows up into a rough seed-bed. In order to insure a good stand of wheat, you would do well to apply 200 to 800 pounds of a fertilizer carrying from 2 to 3% ammonia and 8 to 10%, available phosphoric acid. The am-l mania will give the young crop a good, 1' vigorous start, while the available phosphoric acid will hasten its ripen-, ine.

I The correspondent of the London Chronicle with the French armies, re- cently visited the fitthting front held by the Russian soldiers. Most of these men come from the Siberian regiments, sad for the main part are of the peasant class, warm, simple na- tures, but good htthters. The Rus- sian front resembles closely the neigh. boring lines held by thmPreneh troops and is held just as tightly " the Hum! know to their sorrow. Silage is sometimes fed in small quantities to sheep with fairly good results. Be sure the silage is of good ‘quality, not moldy or soured. Start on a very small quantity daily and gradually increase. Mart giving a pound or two to each matured sheep daily. Pregnsnt ewes have been fed up to four pounds or four and one- half pounds daily with no bad results. Of course, clover hay and a few oats, and it possiule a few roots should bel fed as well. Be sure the silage is good. Under no circumstances feed sheep spoiled silage. The right kind of sheep in a neigh- borhood where there are the right kind of dogs ought to be a winning proposition. Unfortunately opinions differ as to dogs. An unruly ram is a good candidate for the meat shop. A ewe that is soon to yeah should not be too flesh . If your neighbor keeps sheep of the same breed as yours, be sure to have yours marked. Sheep will break out sometimes, and if two flocks become mixed it is a hard matter to divide them. Neither crowd nor pinch the sheep in fodder. Don't give the ewes corn. Corn makes them feverish and infltunes the adders. Inflamed udders are a bad thing at lambing time. ,17. 24, where the American Revision has put the true translation in the margin.
