At one of the Experimental Stations in the States, red clover was inferior only 5 a while at another it was und that it: was surpassed only by falfa and rape. AS 'ah annual pasture for swine nothilig surpasses rape. It can be sown both early and late in the sea- son and as a consequence forage may ~be provided for at any time. To get the best results from rape, it should be sown in the &pring and allowed to obtain a height of twelve to four- teen inches before turning the ani- mals fn.

Sooner It Is Applied Greater Is Its Value as Fertilizer. . The. sooner manure is spread on the land after being made the greater is its value, provided the land is level, or, if hilly, not frozen. So much is to be gained by early appli- ¢ntion under these conditions, and farmers have sometinies been s0 urg- ed to haul manure immediately after making without limitations of con- Not the Best Way to Apply Manure-- By Using a Manure Spreader Work Is Made Easier and Manure I8 Evenly Distributed. 1 ditions, that much loss of fertilizer { has resulted from spreading it on 'frozen, hilly ground either before or 'after snow had fallen. Manure-col- ored surface water flowing to the streams during a. winter thaw is a sure indication of this waste of the imost soluble and valuable parts of the manure. If, however, manure is spread on hilly land long enough be- ) . fore freezing, for rain to carry the bad that they can mission which was just then about the Ameri- | 'to legve.

The irish Cobbler, the White Triumph, and {Red Triumph are good early pota- toes, but where only one variety is to be grown the Irish Cobbler is recommended. To safeguard the potato crop 'against scab it is advisable to treat the tubers by putting one-half pint of formaldehyde in 15 gallons of water and soaking the potatoes in this solution about two hours. Beet Sugar In United States. Production of beet sugar in the United States for 1918 amounted to 682,917 tons, ascompared with a crop of 689,220 tons for the preced- ing year. The American sugar beet yield last year was exceédingly im- portant to Canadian consumers, in- asmuch as the relaxation of restric- tions in January of this year by the Canada Food Board was largely brought about by the casier situation in the United States. Large stocks of cane sugar were recleascd for eon- sumption in Canada which would have been held for American use if the liberal shipments of beet sugar had nct been availuule across the border. h the eo: darkey.
