Sometimes the price of hay is* higher in the latter part of the win- ter than during the previous months or immediately after the farmer ' turns the stock to pasture. `Along in February and March there is apt to be a `shortage in the supply" of hay, and the large grower may often take .advantage of the advanced price to gain an additional prot in the sale of his crop. But it has seldom if ` everproved good speculation to hold hay [too late. ` _ There is always a little local de- mand for hay, which may be supplied lby those farmers .who produce only | a little more hay than is required for [feeding on their farms. The farmer [who grows hay in. larger quantities lmust seek a market farther from ` home, andithis requires that the hay be baled and shipped to the central imarketse in cities.

Compared with his broth- er, the later chick, he is a gold rhino.

Many farmers are im- proving the time to do it in prepar- , ing their turnip, buckwheat and bare- fallow ground. Such weeds as the perennial sown thistle, couch grass, etc.-, with perennial underground root- stalks, are greatly weakened by culti- vation at this time. By sowing rape in drills about July 12th, followed. of course, with good cultivation, the ikilling of the sow thistle will be practically assured. Now is the time to examine the hclover meadows, after moving or _`pasturmg, for ribgrass or buckhorn, and the catchy should be pulled out ofdalsike elds, and the timothy top- pe . . - This change would be` brought about, he said, by the substitution of the telephone` for the `telegraph in railway despatching. The -Canadian Pacic Railway has already attained considerable success with this system on various parts. of \ltS lines, and Mr. Ryder said" on his own railway, the Burlington, experiments began on Dec. II last. Contrary to ex- pectation, it was found that the tele- phone proved to, be an improvement over the telegraph` not only in dou- ble track operation, but also on sing- le track. ,In fact, he was convinced that the handling of trains by tele- phone was notonly much` more sat- isfactory, but really safer "as well- and this opinion was shared by all who had` personally looked into the I matter; V lllhl -`J FL\.I.VU\.($l. .-' ` It_should be remembered this year _by Overseers or pathmasters that during the recent session of the On- tario Legislature .the- onus of de- stroying weeds on the roadsides was transferred to them again, from the owner or occupant of lands adjoin- ing the public highways.
