Alfalfa can be grown over a wide range of territory, but sweet clover should be restricted to those ' areas where there is no danger of getting it mixed with the small seed crops. Seeding down a eld of al- falfa is easily equal to a liberal ap- plication of manure. Also because of its long, thick roots, alfalfa is a splendid plant for opening up heavy clay and also for adding moi. ` retaining humus to light soils. Once established, it will in a few years ` smother out most weeds. To derive most advantage from this cheap fer- tilizer, it should be followed with heavy feeding crops, such as corn, cabbage, potatoes, or any market garden truck. Where seeding down for the first time, it is advisable to sow at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds to the acre, and it is also a good plan to inoculate the seed. As there is an abundance of high-grade, home- grown seed `offered this spring and the price is low, there should be no temptation to buy anything but government-tested alfalfa. l Farm Blew.-as The Growers Markets Council at the present time is asking all fruit and `vegetable growers to register their acreage under cultivation and the amount of each crop they pro- duce. '.Forms are being sent out as widely as possible and any grower who does not receive a copy is ask- ed to write in to the council for one. A concerted effort is to be made to provide next year against any repeti- tion of the nlisastrous man-kot,ing.r sea- son experienccd by gI'o\\'er.< last fall.

A number of poultrymen report that their ocks are starting to moult due to lieavy production early in the season and the supply of eggs has fallen off as high as 50 per cent. in some counties. Considerable concern is expressed re- ' garding the supply of ice and wood, as there has not been sutlicient cold weather and snow to supply ice and allow for transportation of ice and wood. Down in Glengarry, it was reported that all roads were open for cars, a condition that had nevei before prevailed in that section of the country. Peel County states that baby chicks are being hatched now for the early broiler market and that liatcherymen are expecting a normal demand for baby chicks this spring. Waterloo County reports that the farm outlook seems more optimistic` than for some months, and that there is a tendency for prices of farm pro- ducts to improve. in-.1: iii: nlfzllf in:-wxnu`-(l acreage Wellington County. 1iLCLUl'y.

This anemic condition is; brought about throuugh lack of iron; in the system of the young pigsn True, they get a small quantity in; the sow s milk, but this does noli seem to be sufficient to provide plenty I of the hemoglobin (red coloring mat-l ter of the blood). The placing of! earth from the root cellar and ashes` in the pens has provided a source of iron and has saved a good many` young pigs. It has been found to be impossible to feed iron to thel sow in any form that will increase the quantity of iron in -her milk.` This means that iron must be fed to the little pigs individually.

The most convenient way of ad.- ministering the necexary iron to the pigs is in the form of reduced iron" which can be purchased at any drug store. The nely powderedl iron should be used. Absolute ac- curacy of dosage is not important and for practical purposes, the quan- tity can be roughly meu. as to the amount, of reduced iron which can be piled on a small Canadian one` cent piece. With a little practice the. quantity can be roughly e.~'t'unated' and given in 11 small spoon, liacli pie; is caught and the iron placed on the back of the tongue, the pig marked and put back in the pen.
