In Mr. Zavitz‘ report of last year the following parâ€" agraph appears under the head . of "Barley" : The results show that the Mandâ€" scheuri gave decidedly the greatest yield per acre of the four varieties for the whole period of filteen yeurs, and also for the last five years. The Mandscheuri gave an â€" average of 9.3 bushels per acre per annum over the common sixâ€"rowed barley in the averâ€" age results for filteen years.

Two‘and a half million dollars annuâ€" ally would pay the running expenses of about thirty agricultural colleges like the one located in Guelph. The Mandcheuri barley was impoeted from Russia by the Ontario Agricultural College in the spring of 1889. . Not only has it made a very excellent reâ€" cord at the college, but it bas given high results in the coâ€"operative eyâ€" periments througlhout Ontario and has been grown in general cultivation very successfully during the past few years. In looking up the records of the Bureau of ‘Industries, we find that the average yield of barley throughout the province for the perâ€" iod of ten years from 1895 to 1904, inclusive;‘ is 29.3 bushels per acre, while that for the period of ten years trom 1885 to 1894, â€" inclusive, was 24.85 bushels per acre. This shows an annual average increase of about 4} bushels per acre for the latter, as compared with the former period of ten years. From these results, does it not appear as though the introducâ€" tion of the Mandscheuri barley by the Ontario Abricultural College has been worth to the Province of Gntarâ€" io within the past ten years an annuâ€" al money value equal to more than filteen times the entire cost of the College 2" e Similar work is .being done â€" with wheat, and oats, and peas, and rye, and grasses, and clover, and roots, Animal Husbandry. parative values ol the different breeds of domestic animals, and it is said that 80 per cent, of ail the crops grown on the farms of Ontario is fed to live stock, it will be seen at a glance bow»jmportant it is to be able to tell a good feeder when one sees it.
