It was killed out on my farm last year, but I was so impressed with it as a feed that I be- lieve I would sow it every year for the next ve years, even if it were killed out every year. It has only two defects; dodder and the winters in the north. If a man is careful with his feed, he should not experi- ence trouble with dodder. My alfal- fa has come through every winter but last winter, when it was all killed. As timothy also was killed it would not do to conclude that alfalfa is any more susceptible to the cold than is timothy.

He fed this hay during the early part of the winter. About Feb- ruary the alfalfa hay was rst used. Every cow in the stable, as soon as it was given the alfalfa hay, gave from one-half to two pounds more I milk a day. _____ -- vvv \rc~\v\io I consder alfalfa much superior to clover, because its feeding value is much higher. It has no superior as a soiling crop, as it does not have to be sown every year. I should like to see every. farmer sow one acre, so that they might.get acquainted with it. Were they do do so, I believe that 75 out of every 2100 of them would continue to grow it. 1171, 1 VS1;xl}'l:i Low land is not adapted for alfal- fa, or. any land where the water is near the surface. `It is a. deep rooter and when it touches water it does not thrive.

At the conclusion of the evidence, the Board ordered that switches be constructed at Galt which gives all the towns the means of shipping in the railways--and al- lowed the other questions to stand for the companies to consider and submit a scheme to the parties inter- ested and the Board; failing this, the Board will give judgment upon the points reserved. 4 , A special objection to the applica- tion which has not perhaps arisen in any other case, as Mr. Biggar pointed out, is the fact that the Galt, Preston and Hespeler Railway and its allied lines are railways -incorporated by Provincial Act and arenot within the jurisdiction of the -Dominion Board. Of the ve or six cases before the Dominion Board of Railway Com- missioners at Hamilton recently, the most Important one was the ap- plication of the towns of Galt, Pres- ton, Berlin, -Hespeler and Waterloo to compel the Grand Trunk, Cana- dian Pacic, and Galt.
