Since it is stiff and â€" difficult to apply by itself it is best mixed with vaseline, lanolin or # similar substance in the proportion of one part of the ointment to two of the ingredient used, and is then fully as effective. (Experimental Farms Note.) Taking Canada as a whole, annual hay pasture crops are generally used as supplementary crops and are therefore of secondary > importance also compared with hay or pasture crops of a perennial nature, such as alfaifa, clover, timothy, etc. There are districts however, especially in the Prairie Provinces, where annval hay and pasture crops are rather important. . This is especially the case where the supply of natural prairie hay and pasture is scant, and in districts where on account of light precipitation,. _ cultivated perennial hay and pasture crops yield comâ€" paratively small returns. It is not our intention to give any detailed account of the various anâ€" nual hay and pasture crops that are grown in the different parts of the Dominion. We simply, wish to call attention in a general way to their importance, the more as the indicaâ€" Dates For Sowing Vegetables Seeds of the hardiest vegetables may be sown as soon as the ground :s entirely free from frost gnd can be put in proper condition. Cabbage, lettuce, onion sets, parsiéy, peas, radish, saisiâ€" fy, spinach and turnips may be sown when the cherrics and pees are in full bloom or the maple and horse chestâ€" nut in oneâ€"inich leaf; the less hardy veâ€" getables such as onions, beets, carrots, parsnips, when the apple is in blosâ€" The material is applied by taking a . lump of it about the size of a pea and j rubbing it thoroughly at the hase . of | the feathers about the head.

The Farmers of the North American continent are face to face with a condition they have never faced before. Ontario that for the past few years has developed such a splendid trade in seed corn produced in the southwestern counties of Essex, Kent, Elgin and Lambton has not enough seed corn to supply the requirements of the farmers of those counties. Thousands of bushels put away last fall has been found by germination tests to be useless for seed as the corn was in the dough stage when a severe frost fell on the quite growing dstricts. This condition was not fully realized until quite recently when one of the largest dealers in seed corn made tests. The entire stock of seed corn of one company was sold for feed. The supply of seed corn for Ontario will have to be broughi in from the United States, where similar conditions regarding seed corn prevail, and only under license through the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. The supply may not be suflicent to meet requirement and it would be well if we would give the matter close attention so that if there is a possibility of : scarcity we could arâ€" range to increase the area devoted to root and other crops to secure Beans, cucumbers, corn, squash, and melons do not do well until the grourd is warm and all danger from frost has passed, about the time the blackberry is in flower. The keeping of a small home flock of laying hens by every family living in a suburban town or village or havâ€" ing a small back yard in connection with a city home will do much to helg provide food necessary to maintain the men in the army and feed the peoâ€" ple at home. At the same time it is 2 practicai way of reducing home exâ€" penses. ‘The size of the flock should be regulated by the number of perâ€" sons in the family and the amount of table _ scraps, kitchen and garden waste which can be used for feed. From two to three hens for each perâ€" as much succulent feed as possible.

The Seed Corn Situation (Written specially for the Daily Telegraph and Waterloo Chronicleâ€" Telegraph.) Farm and Garden THE GARDEN By A. R. G. SMITH, President Waterloo County Board of Agriculture. POULTRY 2 # *# & * "Never \:flfl ll\’;‘l'fi Nrn-h an opportunâ€" ity to establish the maple sugar indusâ€" try in Canada for all time," says the Chairman of the Canada Food Board "The allies are calling upon this conâ€" tinent for a considerable share of our normal domestic sugar supply. East India sugar is practically unavailable. the last crop having been lost owing to the fact that cargoes aggrégating 100,000 tons of raw sugar were sunk by enomy submarines. Cuba has been called upon to furish sugar, not only for the United States and Canada, but for the allies in Europe as well. In England the a;!owan(-e of sugar per head of the population has baen reducâ€" ed to a little more than two pounds per month. In France it has been cut to 1 1â€"10 pounds per month. In Italy it is only one pound per month. What this means may be judged by the figâ€" ures for Canada‘s normal consumption which amounts to between seven and eight pounds per month. "Eastern Canada could produce enough maple sugar to supply the toâ€" tal sugar requirements of the Dominâ€" ion if her maple resources were fully organized. While this is out of the question at the present time. still the utmost effort should be made to _ at least double the usual output. There and fos â€" certain / purposes, â€" please write Central â€" Experimental _ Farm, Orttawa, or the â€" negarest â€" Dominion Experimental Station. tions are that it may be in the farmâ€" ers‘ interest to use annual bhay and pasture crops to a greater extent the coming season that ever before. It is our opinion that at present, we cannot afford to take any gambâ€" ling chances with crops that we are not sure will prove successful. And really, there is no necessity for doâ€" ing it, as there are a large _ number of annual crops that are known to be excellent for pasture in Canada. Sufâ€" fice it to mention that various grain crops may be used very successfully as supplementary hay and pasture crops, either alone or . mixed | with peas or vetches. For certain districts and under certain conditions, varieâ€" ties of millets may be used for hay, especially when spring sown â€" crops for some reason or other have failed to catch satisfactorily, and, as a pasâ€" ture crop, rape is one of the most profitable annual crops for all round purposes, In cases in which there is some doubt as to what kind of annual hay or po ‘ore crops is likely to give the best . â€"gits under certain conditions When it comes to the question of what kinds o# annual hay and pasture crops are likely to prove most profiâ€" table, we would first u. all give this advice:â€" Do not take a chance with crops that are not sufficiently> well known. Especially during the last tew years. a number of southern forage plants have been widely advertised as gold mines for Canadian farmers. ‘Their wonderful yields and _ excelâ€" lent qualities in general have been vividly described and, as a _ result, quite an interest has been taken in them. The forage plants referred to may be all what they are claimed to be in the south, but when they are grown as far north as Canada, their yielding powers are generally sadly disappointing. Some of them may have sbme value in certain very resâ€" tricted localities and may be> used for special purposes but, generally speaking, their general usefulness is very limited. TAP THE MAPELE TREES Canada, has so far, as is well known relied almost entirely on Europe for her supply of root seed. Before th«s war, i. e. as ‘ong as agoicultural and transportation conditions were normul there was no danger of Canada being inadequately â€" supplied â€" with seed â€" of reasonably good quality, but with the ontbreak of the war the conditions beâ€" came different. It is true that during 1914 and 1915 the imports were not faMing off; as a mitter of fact Canada imported during these years . more seed of both mangel and turuips than the previous year. A more study of the import figures therefore gave the impression that Canada at the end 0: 1915 was not in any danger of having the seed supply scriously curtailed in the immediate future. However, as the prospects for an early peace conâ€" tinued to remain far off, the agriculâ€" tural activities in the seed raising countries of Europe had to be directed almost exclusively toward production of food for the armies. As a conse quence, root seed growing was being neglected, especially in France, 2 fact that became noticeable as early as 1915. The immediate result of this was a rapid decrease in the seed supâ€" ply in Europe which made it necessary for the root seed producing countries to prohibit the export of root seed for the duration of the war. When this embargo took effect it began to be reâ€" alized, in farâ€"seeing quaiters at leas, that there was a real danger of shortâ€" age in the seed sugply needed by Caâ€" nada in the necr future. The dane~ gradually took on a more serious asâ€" pect as to the difficulty of actually se curing seed in Europe was being addâ€" ed the difficulty of shipping it across the Atlantic in safcty. At present the root seed situation is far from being as saiâ€" tsfactory as one coull wish it to be, and what it will be like later in the seqson is difficult to foreâ€" tell with accuracy now. One thing is certain, however, and that is that the prices that have to be paid by the root growers for seed this year will be abâ€" normally high. Hon. J. F. Tweeddale, Minister of Agriculture for New Brunswick, has ies on Crown lands, to be operated unâ€" der Provincial auspices, in the effort to secure the greatest possible proâ€" duction. ber tral readily m&f m‘w e made to produce this spring, if never before.

At the recent annual meeting of the Pure Maple Sugar and Syrup Coâ€"operâ€" ative Agricultural Ausociation, held in St. Henedine, Quebec, a resolution enâ€" dorsing a campaign for increased proâ€" duction of maple sugar and maple syrup was passed, and the members expect to increase their output anyâ€" where from 50 to 100 per cent. _ The association covers the best producing area of the Eastern ‘Pownship~ of Queâ€" 2 If so bave your wants supâ€" g & plied here.
