We recommend applying two tones per acre of ground limestone,e every five or six years. Ii\the sollfis deficient in lime carbonate it is -prac- tically lmposslblt- to get a good stand of clover. HOW.,TU GATHER SEED CORN. Seed corn should be selected from stalks standing where they grew. This is necessary, because it is the means of making sure that the seed will have the power to yield' well, as shown by the superiority of the stalks over surrounding ones that grew under the` Devmsh Dumthy' 2'17»1/4' beat the ~ same conditions. This sor't of seed inherits high producing power. it rhust be understood' tha; like produces like, and that an early-mat- uring corn yielding abundantly on short, thick stalks is likely to repeat these same characters 'in the next generation. For example, see'd coin should be taken from the stalks with- out suckei's; such seed may produce some stalks with suckers, but it will invariably' produce fewer suckers than seed from sucker-bearing stalks. All seed corn should' be selected by hand; as a special task, and not inci- dental to husking. The corn should be gathered as soon as thoroughly mature and before the first hard fleeze. Enough should be gathered for two seasons planting to insure a supply of seed if, for example, theip first planting is drowned out or if B the next crop should be hurt by early ment the_par,t.uref with some grain ‘ or with some bran. Not too much Feed. if r/ca-ttered and left lying oats are not available as feed for the 5 calves, ensilage will prove very sat- istactory, and on this feed they will keep in good condition. I also find that when they are' brought in the stable the same feed is quite sufilci- nt to carry them through the winter in good condition. They may be kept fat and in good order all winter, with » nothing more than this feed. il€5i£9i0i€5i€?i€5i€5iE5i8Bi€5ié5|€5ié5i€né9i€5i€5i€3l€ AMONG THE HORSES 5i€5i€9i€>i€?l€Bi€5i€Bl€5i€>i€5l€=»i€5i€5|€3iE5ié3E5lEil-- The way in which the old favorite, €5l€5|€¥9i€9|€¥ £¥¥3i€§¥¥ fast pacer, Sister Patch, 2.16%, at Summerside last week, reminded one oi’ the way she used to "eat 'em up" a few years ago.
