yse By PHILOKUON It is said that the Russians are using Arctic dogs to draw sledges, by means of which they are able to attack the Germans in unexpected places, greatly to their bewilderâ€" ment. Sledges and skis are native ploited to advantage in the condiâ€" tions that prevail on the Eastern front. I have not seen mentioned. the particular breed favoured by our allies, but it is probably tae with profuse coats that have been familiar at our shows for many years. Large numbers are kept by the wandering tribes on the tunâ€" €ras of Northâ€"East Russia and the mummmw pose of berding the reindeer and mmm'rouu-r- Ernest Shackleton.

Experimenta) work with improvâ€" ed hayâ€"pasture mixtures at the Ontario Agricultural College, Gueiph, and the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, show increased yields of hay of . high feeding value, more and better aftermath and a longer period of production, says N. J. Thomas, Soil Specialist, O.A.C., Guelph. Full details as to these improved hayâ€"pasture mixtures is contained in a valuable builletin, No. 406, enâ€" titled "Producing Hay of Higher Feeding Value." It may be obâ€" taimned from any county agriculâ€" tural representative, or by writing direct to the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. Discussing results obtained from these improved hayâ€"pasture mixâ€" tures, Mr., Thomas states that one farmer reports a 30 per cent inâ€" crease and another 25 per cent inâ€" crease in crop. One man declares he would sow orchard grald in the mixture even if it cost $1 per pound, while another says that his pisture was so thick and strong at the end of six years that he hesiâ€" tated to break it up.
