whether any special provision is being made for improved pasture yields. One of the most important crops, the gross value of which over a number of years exceeds that of any other crop of produc- tion, is just plain grass. when we consider the impact oi our hay and pasture crops supporting our livestock population we are im- pressed with its great value.

At the same time we do not em- phasize as much as we should its care and development. Fertilizers are mostly placed on potatoes, with smaller quantities on other crops. Very little goes on our pas- ture lands. In a moist. wet year pastures survive pretty well, but in a dry year conditions are not so good. The application, therefore of fertilizers. and the general care of pastures, can influence, to a very great cxtent. the economy of farm operation.

One of our most concentrated studies and progressive practises should be concerned with the im- provement of our pastures and grass lands. The greater the car- rying capacity of an acre of land for pasture. the greater the im- provement in improved soil prac- tise, and the greater release oi acreage and fertility for the pro- duction of other crops, or for the carrying of a higher level of live- stock population.

A great measure oi attention is being paid to grass silage, and if grass silage is to become a con- stant factor in our feeding prac- tises extra provision and care must be enlisted in the development of grass supplies. These supplies un- der the best of management will change from year to year. and pos- incorporation oi corn growing into the farm program is a practise that would merit favour- able consideration. Corn is a heavy yielder and .n safeguard even un- lder up-to-date grass land farm- ing.

Cspons

-2-rie caponizing of cockerals at six weeks of age has become popu- lar during the last five years.

Birds to be caponiscd should have the feed removed fifteen hours and water removed ten

hours before the operating time. This starving period is very im- portant as it gives the operator a chance to do a better job with I very small mortality.

After the operation the birds should go back into the same pen from which they came and on clean litter. To prevent crowding, for the first five days after upon- izlng. the room temperature of the pen should be increased by about five degrees. until the birds are .over the shock of the operation and are feeding normally. They ishould stay in that pen for at least three days, and the same feed as they were getting should be fed for about two weeks after the operation; then it may be changed.

Capons raised on range on a diet of growing-mash, scratch grain and milk are superior to capons raised indoors. The con- fined birds can be finished at four and one-half to five months. but they do not gain the same size nor weight as capons given good range. not forced, which finish at six months.
