In Culiay2httei) FAR It is wise to observe speed limits in farming as well as on the road. But no man, farm "engines" are hitting on only one cylinder. so it is impos. dbie to spud them up to get to Good CID" by the end of the season. , Any time after September 1 is a good time to dip. A breezy. bright day is naturally best. but if, for any reason. dipping is delayed, further delay waiting for just the right day is 'inadviso,ble. Particulurly when poison dips are used. the sheep should to kept " ground affordhte my pas- Mre until their fteeces have ceased dripping, three or four hours at least being required. 1 w'ven the sheep is assisted out the drip from its wool will m the platform back into the tanl dip should be made with warm and allowed to cool to one h degrees P.

A draining platform with tight bot- tom, which will hold two or three sheep, should be so arranged that w'ven the sheep is assisted out upon it the drip from its wool win run from the platform back into the tank. Tho, t It is well knotn that there is a very close relationship between the quality of wheat and rye and noil for.. tility. The nitrogen content of the soil, which depends upon the P.ey therein, governs very largely the pro-i tein content of the grain, it beingI higher when the wheat is Inked on; soils well supplied with it than when. the cmp is produced on soil: delftent) in this element of plant food. Flirts-E phorus is also a very important factor in controlling the quality, " thundJ once resulting in plumpnese of grain! It is doubtless true that the rspidl doh-rioration in quality ofuruperiori varieties of wheat and rye when iii) seminated over wide areas is due tol soil conditions to a large extent. There,' la a shortage of nitrogen in manyI soils, and phosphorus hunger is com-' mon in many fields. ll One of tho conditions that account,‘ for low average wheat yield is theli planting of the crop on soils that are l not naturally adapted to its produe-Y tion. Usually it is not satisfactory“ to grow wheat on the lighter land,:‘ sueh as “sands, loamy sands, and the} lighter phases of sandy loams, at least', I unless they are in a high state 01.5 fertility. The world's best wheath lands are the well drained loams and,? tilt looms sonwwhat grayish in color.‘ tl It is much better to grow rye rather fl than wheat on the first group of soil., o The light luams, sandy loams, loamy, b coils and stands that do not ordinarily) . produce satisfactory yields of the a various crops are responding to treat-: a ment.

These cattle will be shipped this month from Vancouver, B.C., to Tokio, Japan. There has been a considerable demand from Japan lately for this clan of dairy animals. corn along with the regular ration in zthe fall supplies additional succulency land gradually works the hogs onto a full corn ration as the crop becomes matured for fattening purposes.

But if you will face the right \v..y you will see the sun and not the shadow, is the suggestion of an optimist. My practice is to begin feeding new corn as a part ration along with other dry strains and slaps. I find this method keeps the digestive system in good working order. A little green) Hogs accustomed to running on green pasture are less likely to be disturbed from feeding new corn than hogs closely confined, However, it is advisable in feeding new corn to fat- tening hogs to gradually accustom‘ them to the change of feed. how much to feed etch individual ani- mal, but with hogs it is quite differ- ent. Some hogs an more ravenous than others and get more than their proportionate share of the ration, thereby over-feeding and causing a derangement of the digestive system,; The feeding of new corn will not produce hog cholera. but it may make conditions favorable for the disease to start if there is any cholera in the community. Hogs unaccustomed to; succulent food become ravenous and when fed liberally on new corn are very apt to overfeed. When feeding a dairy cow or horse we know just Feeding new corn to the, fattening hogs in the fall should be done with precaution. Much of the sickness and loss ocean-ring among hogs in the autumn may be directly traced to tom liberal feeding of new corn. Hog! confined to limited quraters and ac- customed to a scant amount of succu- lent food are very likely to feed lib- erally upon new corn and induce acute diarrhoea or other ailments. Top-dressing of wheat and rye is being practiced by many of the best farmers. The manure is usually ap- plied during the winter as it is pro- duced, or in the spring when ttroutur is frozen. A light application is gen- orally used. In addition it is becom- ing the practice on many farms to add 200 pounds of sixteen per cent. acid phosphate to the land at the time of seeding the fall grains. The heavy soils or the heavy sandy loams, silt loam: and clay loam: should be fertilized differently for best results. Doubtless the principal commercial plant food that they need is phosphorus, although occasionally} fields that are badly run or depleted of their organic matter will respond to nitrate of soda. Where nitrate of soda was used the increase in yield of the grain did not pay for the cost of treatment except in a few instances. '(i3'yiosrs.iirr, of nitrate of soda, 250 pounds of acid phosphate and 50 pounds of muriate of potash should go on the land in the fall and in the spring just as growth begins at least sixty per cent: of nitrate of soda should be applied. I I On early spring seeding: of clover and alfalfa on the lighter soils potash gives good results. In several in- stances it has saved the seeding: of these crops and in addition increased the growth appreciably over the land not provided with it. Where one isl using a mixed fertilizer it appears! that about six per cent. of potash should be included in the mixture at: the time of seeding the fall grains. On the other hand, if one mixes the fer-l tilizer at home, about forty per eent.; fmeans of a fertilizer attachment on _ the grain drill at the time of needing-{ In addition seventy-five to one bun-I dred pounds of nitrate of soda should, he added early in the spring at tre, jtime growth begins.

In some; [ instances, owing to a lumpy condition of the nitrate of soda it should be pul-’ verized somewhat before it in iGii.1, ( The reason for delaying this operation,' until spring is that the nitratea are, removed from the soil by rainfall‘ when the ground is not frozen. If stable manure is available the land should be top-dressed with it in the' late fall, winter, or very early in: spring and thus do away with the" spring application of the nitrate of soda unless the soil is in a very poor 1 condition.
