Present and prospective high prices for hsy is having the natural effect in reducing the areas that may be left to timothy seed. Reports from the United States_ also indicate reduced areas left to this seed crop. Two- thirds of our supply iis usually im-‘ ported from the United States, where it is grown on land. ranging in value from $75- to $150 per acre. This seed comes ather badly hulled, but is par- tlculaiy free from weed seeds. The prospects for this year are con-' aiderably higher prices for timothy seed. Canadian farmers are advised to bear this situation in mind and arrange to leave for seed particularly clean pieces of timothy.- Seed Branch, Ottawa. GROW SMALL FRUITS Good prices for strawberries and other small fruits should have the effect of making tree-fruit growers consider the advlsability of round- ing out their business with some of the former. Returns como quickly from strawberries. and nearly all the small fruits are easy to grow; then in addition to the profit on the fruit ilicrc is the charm of making money from thc sitio of plants. Although the growing of small fruits is easy. the linrvcsting is a more difficult mutter, yet it is the grower of lnrgc fruits who as n rulc has to employ a large number of liuniis in his business, and the small fruits become ready for harvest ut a tiinc when work for pickers cannot bc found among the pcachcs, iipplcs or other tree-fruits, and if liiinds can be found work for at long season they ure usually willing to work for reasonable wages und nrc better off in the end. Even if the growing of small fruits is not practis- ed commercially at least sufficient should be raised to provide for home canning and ii. bouiitil`ul table supply during the season; ii farmer who does his d_uty in the field cvcry day is not likely to take any harm from con- suming at least rt box of berries every 24 hours and thc Winter conditions on many farms ilciniirid that ii big supply of ciiiined fruit be provided. NOVEL FEEDING. Tile cxpcrimcnts were carrlcd out with a Dutch cow which weighed 830 pounds before the experiment and 847 after. The injections consisted of lacto- secreiine, a very strong solution of saccharose, glucose and galactose. They were repeated regularly at 5.30 p. m. at the rate of one per day dur- ing three weeks beginning May 18, 1914. The quantity injected was 5 c., per day. Before the experiment began the cow was fed on a constant diet for one week before thc first injections, and a. daily milk record was kept. The rations remained con- stant until June 7, when the observa- tions terniilated. The quantity of milk obtained before the injections were administered, from the 11th to the 17th of May, averaged 14.70 lbs. per day; during ilie first week of the experiment it averaged 17.00 lbs., dur- ing the second week 17.85 lbs., and during the third week 10.80 lbs. The greatest increase in the milk yield was obtained between the 22nd and 31st of May, whilst during the last week of the experiment the daily average was 17.20 lbs., during the lrst three days and 10.53 lbs., during the last four days. ‘ Samples of milk were taken before and during the experiment and their composition and yield in cheese were studied. The results showed a fairly constant composition, though the samples taken during May 17, 19, 21, showed an increase in the fat content and those taken during May 10, 24, 27 showed an increase yield of cheese and "rlcotta.” These results are interesting in showing that the dose required to in- crease the lacticslirdlu ciuf ypmmw crease the lactic secretion of the cow is about 5c. and thai. the increased yield is also associated with a better quality of the milk. Also they show the necessity for further experiments over a longer period, in order to dc- tcrmine if thc effects orc continuous or only temporary, and if this sub- siancc, which the writer proposes to call zooluctosccrctiiic, 0.4 of different efficiency with cows of diffcrcnt mllk- yiclding capaciiy.~ Bulletin of Agr.

She should bc handled from curly calf- hood in auch a manner that she will grmliinto into mllkiiooil wltliout know- ing lt. ’l`hc cull should be taught to submit. to authority, to know what a halter or ii rope iuciins. and should ncvcr bo nbiiscd nor frightened.

I emphasize this matter. for the habit of poise is a paying asset in the dairy barn. It is a well known fact that cows give more and richer milk when they are quiet and con- tented.

Af- ter ; week or more of firm but gentle treatment she would let nie sit on a stool with a pail between my knees and milk her like a Christian. She never became real friendly. however, but her stable manners were good and she made one of my best milkers. A kicker may be cured by patience and gentleness. but a few devices sometimes help. Tying the hind legs ltogether prevents accidents during milking. The sanie result ls attained by flexing the cow’s fore leg against her body and tasteiiing it there with a rope,.on strap. She can‘t stand on two legs and do iuuch kicking. A small rope tied tightly around her body just in front of the udder and back of. the hip bones is said to be an effective cure for “steppers." It is important to train heifers in their youth so that when they mature there will be no necessity to go .through s. strenuous process. Any animal, old or young, with a persist- ently evil disposition, might better be sent to the butcher, or sold to whom- ever wants a bother with licr.

Keep the plow out of corn, potatoes and all crops whore thcro is liability of cutting the roots. Plan the full fruit and ornamental plantings now. In four months the fall planting season will be here. If you have not already done so plant some morning glories or wild, cucumbers to climb over and cover that outiiouse. The wild cucumber is one of the most rapid growers known and its dense foliage makes it very acifcptable for covering sum- mer houses and other outlluililiiigs. A heavy mulch of manure is good for the rose beds. Prune early flowering shrubs, such as spircn und lilac, as soon as they are through flowering. There arc innny quick-growing an- nuals which may be planted now and will bloom in Autumn. Vines should be used to cover un- siglitly board fences.

TREATMENT Fon Losr cuo (initio arc" very subject to diseases of the digestive organs. When suf- fering froiii any form of indigestion. they are not likely to chow the cud. und itis soinetimes said they have lost their cud. What they have real- ly lost is the desire for food, or in some cases, the ability to chew the it is only one oi’ the symptoms of in- iligestion, and it is iicst treated by lnking moans to restore the appetite, or prevented by using means to keep tho appetite good. When cattle eat coarse fodder, they <-.Iicw it but little and'pass it down into the rumen, where it is stored. warnied and softened. While in the rumen or puunch, it iioitlier nourish- es the animal or satisfies its hunger. When hungry the animal returns this food to the mouth, a small quan- tity at u time, und chews it fine, af- ter which it passes to the true stom- ach and is digested. Cows do not chew cud end for pastime, or merely as a habit, but because they are hun- gry. As cnttle are commonly fed, they have ii hundred or more curls always available in the paunch. their private storehouse. A dairy cow or growing animal iii vigorous health must spend most of its time. when neither eating nor sleeping in chew- ing llie cud. lf she does not do so. she is sick, stops secrcting niilk,loses flesh, and becomes weak. and unless the condition is soon relieved, the animal dies. The treatment for “lost cud" that is most effective consists in so caring for the animal as to keep its digestive system in the bcst pos- sible ordcr. lf it is diseased, it must be restored to health. then the cud will be found. ln this climate, many cows on dry feed and getting little grain and no ensilngc or roots, first get somewhat constipatcd and t.licii be cause of torpitlity of the paunch are unable to raise ii cud. This condition is most common in cold wcnthcr when cows are vcry likely to be vcry hearty and luck for exercise. Unless the ani- innl ls properly ircatcd, lhc condi- tion may continue for o wcvk or ton days, and is likely to result fatally. This iorpidlty of tho digestive sys- lcm, duo to ovci'feeding on dry fccd, is it typical form of "lost cud," or stoppago. Animals so affcrtcd can nczirly always bo cured in ii wcnk or loss wiihout nicdicinc or oxpnrisivc trcntincnt.
