A. SIMS, Manager 1 Ploughing is the basic cultural opera- tion. It is therefore important and should l be performed with care and judgment. No l denite rule can be laid down as to the best ` method of ploughing. A safe rule, how- ' ever, is to plough only when the soil is in ` shape, not too wet especially if of a heavy ` clay nature. Plough (leeply in autumn, as deep as the surface productive soil will allow turning an upstanding furrow. Plough . shallow in spring, turning a low-lying or at furrow. Plough well, turn all the l land and nish with straight even furrows and lands. Let the ploughing be a credit - to the farmer, a reflection of his character, a standard for other operations and an Cultural Operations and implements Soil management or cultivation in its several phases is a very important factor in crop production. On time Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa, and several of the branch Experimental Stations in eas- tern Canada, methods have been investiga- ted for several years.

Rolling--The roller is too frequently used to put 1: nishing touch to the eld after seeding. It may be so used to ml-~ vantage on light soils but even then should be followed by the drag harrow to break the smooth surface. The chief use of the roller, however, should be to rm and crumble the soil before seeding. It should not be used on very damp soil, especially clay; let the surface dry rst, then use the ` roller to break the crust. Where implements are to be purchased it should be borne in mind that larger implements requiring from three to six horses handled by one teamster, provide a means of solving to some extent the present manual labor problem.

THE MANUFACTURE Alf At some time or other in their curt-er, most dairy farmers have experienced diffi- culty in marketing their produce antimic- torily. The trouble may have been be- cause of 11 poor demand for the product, or the quality may huve been below num- dgrd. Thu duh-v nmdm-.e from the Exnerimen- (Experimental Farms Note) g During cool weather we have been able to HEN]. The dairy produce Experimen- tal Farm, Agassiz, l3.C., has been sold in a number of different ways, one of the moat. sat-isfactory of which is in the form of cream cheese. The cream cheese appears to be the most popular soft cheese. It is easily made on the farm and requires very little special apparatus. The labor and cost of making and packing are small, so that the manufacture is well suited for any producer within a reasonable distance from a market. It is _a suitable and re- munerative method of marketing cream. keep this cheese for a week or ten days without any appreciable deterioration in avor, but, as evaporation is going on con- tinually, the cheese, unless originally made overweight, will not be up to the standard weight at the end of this time. It is therefore advisable to place it on the mar- ket as soon as possible after completion. The market as yet is limited but the demand appears to be increasing. We have sold during the past twelve months 5,420 of these cheeses in the city of Vancouver. The wholesale price obtained is 15c each, which amounts to $813.00 for the product during the past year. Each cheese weighs six `ounces and approximately ten dozen are now being manufactured weekly from 170 pounds of twelve per cent. cream. This brings a return of ninety cents per pound butterfat for the cream, with the whey retained for feeding purp7)ses. rl'I'L- ..L ...... ,.t 41... almanac in nvlinrlrinnl Wney nil-lAll|t:|l nu n:cuuA5 punpuaea. The shape of the cheese is cylindrical ,from one to one and a half inches deep and three inches in diameter. When moulding, the cheese is pressed into a cheesecloth cover and when ready for ship- ment is incased in a neat cardboard carton. It is a cheap cheese and a convenient size for table use. Picnickers have found it a suitable substitute for meat as a lling for sandwiches. It is also found to be very delicious and palatable when served with lettuce, celery, or any of the various kinds of vegetable salad. The method of manufacture is concisely described in Exhibition Circular No. 23, which may be obtained for the. asking from any of the Experimental Farms. 3 A rather poor crop ofmaple sxrup is report- ed from Quebec. * P.
